"You ready?" Nathan asked Brooke as he stood beside her.
Brooke took a deep breath, and nodded, "Yeah."
Peyton, Haley, and Rachel stood waiting by the doors, prepared to start their walk. Haley squeezed Brooke's arm, and said, "Don't worry, once you get up there, everything will fall into place."
The music started, and Nathan offered Brooke his arm. "Here we go."
The girls walked through the doors and down the aisle. Lucas was at the alter, craning his neck to see Brooke. When she appeared, arm in arm with Nathan, all Lucas could do was smile. She looked as beautiful now as she did the first day he met her. She truly took his breath away.
When they reached the end of the aisle, Brooke and Nathan separated, and Nathan took his place behind Lucas with Mouth and Skills. Brooke stepped up and faced Lucas. "This is it." She said breathlessly, and smiled at him.
The ceremony started, and the couple began to read their vows. Lucas turned, got his ring and note card from Nathan, and started to read. Brooke stared into Lucas' eyes, feeling things that she never imagined she could.
"You are beautiful. You are smart, and funny, and witty, and everything that I could ever ask for. I'm ready to marry you. I'm ready to show the world what you mean to me. I couldn't ask for anyone better than you. It turns out that I am the guy for you, no matter how long it took us to figure that out. I love you, Brooke Davis, and there's no one I would rather spend my life with than you."
With that, Lucas slid the ring onto Brooke's finger, and Brooke reached for her speech.
"Lucas, you have always been there for me, even when I'm mad at you. You've forgiven me for things even when I couldn't forgive myself. You have become part of me, and that part isn't meant for anyone but you. I'm ready to give part of myself to you, permanently. That means forever, with you, because I love you."
She took Lucas' hand and placed the ring. Then, they heard the words that they had been waiting so long for, "…I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
