A/N: Sorry it's taken me SO LONG to update! Computer problems!
"Audrina Lindsey Scott, please sit still for Aunt Haley" Brooke sighed.
"Mommy do I get to throw flowers at people"
"Yes baby, soon" Brooke laughed.
"Audrina, if you sit still I won't poke you as much with these bobby pins…damn where did she get all this curly hair from"
"Not me OR Lucas" Brooke laughed.
"She got it from me" Peyton laughed.
"This is true" Brooke laughed.
"There you go…you're done…now go find Grandma Karen and have her find something for you to do" Haley sighed. "How's Brooke's hair going"
"Good" Rachel said. "Bevin and I are master hairdressers"
"It looks pretty" Haley said, tousling one of the curls. "You're going to look beautiful"
Brooke sat there, not responding. Nervous butterflies fluttered in her stomach.
"Hey girlie...its ok" Haley said, hugging Brooke. "You'll be fine"
"I know...am I doing the right thing?" Brooke asked nervously.
"Brooke Penelope Davis" Peyton said. "No one is more confident about this than me. I know, you know, Halee knows...we all know you're doing the right thing...now come on,
I wanna see a smile!"
Brooke smiled nervously and looked around the opulent dressing room. Here I go...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God – and in the face of this company – to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore – is not by any – to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly – but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace"
Brooke looked at Lucas and all of her nervous butterflies disappeared. They exchanged a look and both simultaneously felt their hearts flutter.
"Through marriage, Lucas and Brooke make a commitment together to face their disappointments – embrace their dreams – realize their hopes – and accept each other's failures. Lucas and Brooke will promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together – through mutual understanding – openness – and sensitivity to each other.
We are here today – before God – because marriage is one of His most sacred wishes – to witness the joining in marriage of Lucas and Brooke. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and this woman begin their life together. And now – through me – He joins you together in one of the holiest bonds"
Memories raced through Brookes mind like trains on a fast track. Lucas asking her out on their first date, Lucas kissing her, Lucas and her making love, Lucas and her playing in the park, Lucas cheating on her, the pregnancy scare, Lucas asking her out again, Audrina, their first couple years of college...everything that they had been through together.
"By gathering together all the wishes of happiness and our fondest hopes for Lucas and Brooke from all present here, we assure them that our hearts are in tune with theirs. These moments are so meaningful to all of us, for what greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together – to strengthen each other in all labor –
to minister to each other in all sorrow – to share with each other in all gladness."
Lucas looked at Brooke and all his thoughts vanished. In that single moment, all he saw was him and her. All he heard in his head was the thousands of times she had said "I love you Lucas".
"This relationship stands for love, loyalty, honesty and trust, but most of all for friendship. Before they knew love, they were friends, and it was from this seed of friendship that is their destiny. Do not think that you can direct the course of love – for love, if it finds you worthy, shall direct you"
Now Haley, Peyton, and Karen had lost it. Even Jake and Nathan looked a little teary.
"Marriage is an act of faith and a personal commitment as well as a moral and physical union between two people. Marriage has been described as the best and most important relationship that can exist between them. It is the construction of their love and trust into a single growing energy of spiritual life. It is amoral commitment that requires and deserves daily attention. Marriage should be a life long consecration of the ideal of loving kindness – backed with the will to make it last"
Nathan and Haley exchanged glances and smiled. They were happy for their best friends, that something so wonderful was happening to them.
"Here are the exchanging of the vows- Do you Lucas Eugene Scott, take Brooke Penelope Davis to be your wife – to live together after God's ordinance – in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?"
Lucas smiled at Brooke. "I do"
"And do you Brooke Penelope Davis, take Lucas Eugene Scott to be your husband – to live together after God's ordinance – in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?"
Brooke smiled back at Lucas. "I do"
Peyton handed the minister Brooke's ring and Nathan handed the minister Lucas's ring.
"May these rings be blessed as the symbol of this affectionate unity. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go – may they always return to one another May these two find in each other the love for which all men and women yearn. May they grow in understanding and in compassion. May the home which they establish together be such a place that many will find there a friend. May these rings on their fingers symbolize the touch of the spirit of love in their hearts."
"Lucas Eugene Scott, in placing this ring on Brooke Penelope Davis's finger, repeat after me: Brooke, you are now consecrated to me as my wife from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed"
"Brooke, you are now consecrated to me as my wife from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring,
I thee wed" Lucas said.
"Brooke Penelope Davis, in placing this ring on Lucas Eugene Scott's finger, repeat after me: Lucas, you are now consecrated to me as my husband from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed"
"Lucas, you are now consecrated to me as my husband from this day forward and I give you this ring as the pledge of my love and as the symbol of our unity and with this ring, I thee wed" Brooke said.
"May you always share with each other the gifts of love – be one in heart and in mind – may you always create a home together that puts in your hearts – love – generosity and kindness.
In as much as Lucas and Brooke have consented together in marriage before this company of friends and family and have pledged their faith – and declared their unity by giving and receiving a ring – are now joined.
You have pronounced yourselves husband and wife but remember to always be each other's best friend.
What – therefore – God has joined together – let no man put asunder.
And so, by the power vested in me by the State of Ohio and Almighty God, I now pronounce you man and wife – and may your days be good and long upon the earth.
You may now kiss the bride"
Lucas pulled Brooke close to him and kissed her.
"I love you Brooke Scott"
"I love you too, Lucas Scott"

"That was by FAR the most beautiful wedding ceremony I have EVER witnessed" Haley said, hugging Brooke and Lucas at the reception. "Congratulations, Tigger"
"Thanks" Brooke smiled.
"And B. Davis...or should I say B. Scott...I am so proud and happy for you" Peyton said. "And you too, Lucas"
"Thanks Peyt" they both said, hugging her.
"MY BABYS MARRIED!" Karen said, coming towards Lucas and squeezing him tightly.
"Mom...Mom you're suffocating me" Lucas laughed.
"And Brooke" Karen turned towards her. "I couldnt have asked for a better daughter in law"
"Thanks, Karen" Brooke laughed.
"Where's OUR daughter?" Lucas asked.
"MOMMY! DADDY!" Audrina yelled, toddling towards them.
"Hey baby girl" Lucas said, bending over and picking her up.
"Are you and mommy married nows?"
"Yeah!"
"Our plan workeded?"
"Yeah!" Lucas laughed.
"I'm gonna go eat cake" Audrina jumped down from Lucas's arms.
"She's so precious" Brooke said. Lucas laughed and grabbed her around the waist.
"Wait till you hear the song I picked out"
"What did you pick out?"
"If the bride and groom would lead the dance, please" Peyton smiled, speaking into the microphone.
The music started and Brooke gasped. "Lucas, how did you know?"
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide and
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide and
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life...
"I love you, Brooke...more than you'll ever know"
