AN: I don't own OTH or Beautiful Love by The Afters.

Lucas kissed Peyton. Peyton kissed back. The two were enjoying the moment.

Lucas Voiceover: Most of our lives are a series of images; they pass us by like towns on a highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.

This is one of those moments.

The ring in Lucas's hand fell; no one moved to pick it up. The minister was completely confused. In fact everyone in the church, besides Lucas and Peyton, was confused. No one spoke. Not a single word. When the two at the alter had stopped to take a breath, everyone looked at each other then at Lucas. Lucas took Peyton's hand in his and smiled.

"I don't know what to say.."

Lindsay's side of the church looked really angry. Lucas was about to say something else when someone from the bride's side stood up and said, "Why don't you go after her?"

"Well… Lindsay…" Lucas started but many people interrupted him by standing up and walking out of the church. The bride's side was completely empty. By this time, only Peyton, Lucas, the minister, Brooke, Owen, Mouth, Millicent, Nathan, Haley, Jamie, and Skills were the only one's left in the sanctuary. Peyton's hand was still in Lucas's and it felt like they never broke up. Peyton was smiling from ear to ear. Lucas kept looking at Peyton and smiling. His smile was just as big as Peyton's. Lucas noticed the ring on the floor and picked it up. Fingering it between his pointer finger and his thumb, Lucas looked at Peyton.

"I am, and always will be, in love with Peyton Sawyer" Lucas said it loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone knew that it was a quote from his book. Especially Peyton, who had tears in her eyes. Brooke smiled. She knew Lucas never stopped loving Peyton. It was about time Lucas came to realize it.

"It's about time Broody." Brooke said, while walking up to Lucas and Peyton.

Lucas smiled and hugged Brooke.

"Thanks Brooke."

Brooke hugged Peyton and said, "told you he'd stop being an idiot."

Lucas laughed, as did Peyton. Brooke went back to her seat by Owen. Before anyone else could go up and talk to them Lucas had a plan. Lucas got down on one knee and said, "Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer, I know I've been an idiot and a jerk and a.."

He was babbling and Peyton just giggled. She smiled and said, "Yes, Lucas. Yes!"

Lucas watched as her smile grew as he put the ring on her finger. She is his beautiful love.

What a beautiful smile

Can I stay for awhile?

On this beautiful night

We'll make everything right

My beautiful love, my beautiful love
