Two weeks later. It's their wedding day, finally!
At the ceremony
Priest: Repeat after me, I Abigail, take thee John
Abby: I Abigail, take thee John
Priest: To be my lawfully wedded husband
Abby: To be my lawfully wedded husband
Priest: In sickness and in health
Abby: In sickness and in health
Priest: To have and to hold until death parts us
Abby: To have and to hold until death parts us
Priest: Now John, repeat after me, I John take thee Abigail
Carter: I John take thee Abigail
Priest: To be my lawfully wedded wife
Carter: To be my lawfully wedded wife
Priest: In sickness and in health
Carter: In sickness and in health
Priest: To have and to hold until death parts us
Carter: To have and to hold until death parts us
Priest: Now place the rings on each other's fingers and say with this ring I be wed
Carter/Abby (simultaneously): With this ring I be wed
Priest: Now by the power invested in me I declare you married. You may kiss the bride.
Carter kisses Abby as everyone claps.
Later at the reception. Carter and Abby are dancing slowly on the dance floor.
Carter: So how does it feel to be a Carter?
Abby: hum, rich?
Carter (laughing): Ah so the truth comes out, I knew you only wanted my money
Abby: I never thought it was a secret. She smiles and kisses him.
Carter: Well whatever the reason, its fine by me… I love you
Abby: I love you too. They kiss again. As they are kissing again, Susan comes up
Susan: Oh will you stop that already. She's pregnant ok? Carter breaks off the kiss and laughs
Carter: seems like someone's jealous
Susan: No, Its just my babysitter isn't willing to stay all night, so I need you guys to cut the cake, so I can get out of here
Carter: What, bored at our wedding already? We must have not spent enough money!
Abby: hey!
Carter: Well we did spend a lot dear
Abby: Yeah, well you said I could
Susan: Ok can you save this for later, I need to go soon.
Carter (smiling): Ok fine, come on Abby let's cut the cake, so Susan can go. He takes Abby's hand and leads her over to where the cake is. He picks up a microphone. Excuse me, can I have your attention… We are going to cut the cake now because Susan needs to go home
Susan: hey!
Carter: No I'm kidding; we are going to do it so you all will go home. Laughs from the crowd. Anyways here we go. He takes the knife and with Abby's hand on top of his, they cut a piece. He picks up part of it. Open up. Abby complies, but in the process carter gets some on her nose, which he kisses off. Then Abby picks up a piece of the cake, with a mischievous look in her eyes.
Carter: Oh no
Abby: Oh yes. She proceeds to spread the cake all over his chin, mouth and nose. That is what you get for putting it on my face.
Carter (while wiping the cake off his face): I did that on mistake, you did it on purpose.
Abby: And?
Carter: And now you have to kiss it off, just like I did.
Abby (smiling): No, I don't think so. She turns to walk away. Carter grabs her and pulls her into a passionate kiss.
Susan: Ok, ok enough already, go get a room. Carter and Abby break the kiss and laugh.
Later that night. Everyone has left. Carter and Abby are standing on their patio in the backyard. He's behind her with his arms wrapped around her front. They are looking out on their backyard where all the chairs and tables are still set up from the ceremony.
Carter: It was beautiful, wasn't it?
Abby: It was… and so nice, everyone got along… My brother and mom were on their meds, your dad and mom were civil to each other, no one got horribly drunk…
Carter: Yep, it was perfect.
Abby turns around in his arms so she is facing him
Abby: It was… Thanks
Carter: For what?
Abby: For this day, for the babies, for everything
Carter: Same to you. He smiles and kisses her. So I guess no real wedding night or honeymoon.
Abby (rubbing her stomach): Oh, I think we've had our fun for the time being… Maybe after the kids are born we can go on a honeymoon. A real one. A nice one. In Hawaii or Paris or somewhere horribly romantic.
Carter: Where ever you want, my love
Abby: I'll think about it and let you know
Carter: You do that. They smile at each other. So are you ready to go inside and up to bed?
Abby: She turns around so her back is leaning against his stomach. Just a little longer out here. The night is so beautiful and perfect… Like is should be. Carter leans down and kisses her hair.
Carter: I'm so happy you're my wife. I love you more than anything
Abby: Me too. (softly) me too.
