A/N: This took me awhile to write to be honest and I was hoping to get the wedding and the reception into one chapter, but I can't so it's split into two.

I didn't go into much detail about the Brucas wedding because I think everyone else has their ideas on what their wedding would be like and I didn't want to spoil any of it for anyone. ENJOY!

PROFILE IS STILL UP ON WHAT AGE SOPHIA SHOULD BE AFTER THE TIME JUMP…PLEASE VOTE!

"It's just a few days before the wedding, how do you feel?"

Brooke looks at Karen with smiles. Levi and Lilly were currently out with their father. Sophia and Lucas had gone with them. Brooke and Karen were currently lounging about Brooke's living room.

"I'm nervous, but I know that I'm doing the right thing and I love Lucas with all my heart. I'm going to be a married woman."

"I thought that Dan was the one for me," Brooke looks at Karen and hoping for some wisdom from her future mother-in-law. "I honestly did and when I told him I was pregnant he kind of flipped out. I was left raising Lucas on my own or so I thought. I had Keith and that made everything better. Keith became my one and I feel like he was supposed to be my one all along. Lucas is your one Brooke."

"Yeah, Lucas is my one. He gave me a wonderful little girl who I love and he's going to make me the happiest girl on earth."

"I'm happy my son has found you Brooke. I truly am," Brooke smiles at Karen in return. "Do you know who is going to the wedding?"

"We're keeping it kind of low key. Lucas wants some of his teammates there and I invited some of the cheerleaders. Other than that, it's you, Keith and Levi and Lilly, Peyton and Jake, Haley and Nathan and also Dan."

"You haven't heard from your parents have you?" Karen questions softly.

Brooke shakes her head.

"No, I haven't. I sent the invitation, but they haven't gotten back from me yet, but it's okay because Keith said he would be honored to walk me down the aisle."

"Keith loves you Brooke, we all love you and sometimes things can surprise you."

"I hope you're right Karen because in a perfect world my parents would be at my wedding. But my life isn't perfect."

"You look pretty mommy."

Brooke turns away from her mirror and spots her daughter standing in her pink flower girl dress.

"You look pretty too, baby."

A just a few short minutes before, Brooke was fixing her hair. She was already in her wedding gown and at the church. Today was the day that Brooke Davis was going to become Brooke Scott. She was excited and nervous all at the same time.

The door opens and Haley, and Peyton step through it.

"Sophia, you have to let your mommy get ready," Haley scolds gently as she kneels down in her red bridesmaid dress.

"But I missed mommy," Sophia says with a pout causing all girls to laugh.

"Baby, go with Auntie Haley and auntie Peyton while I finish getting ready okay?"

"Okay mommy," Sophia concedes.

Brooke places a kiss on her daughter's forehead.

"She's right though Brooke. You are beautiful."

Brooke glances at her best friend and smiles brightly.

"I love the comments Peyton."

When Haley, Peyton and Sophia leave the room, Brooke turns back to the mirror and finishes her hair. She never noticed the door opening and closing and she never noticed the woman that stepped through.

"You make a wonderful bride."

Brooke turns around in a hurry and gasps.

"Mom?"

"Lucas, everybody is waiting for this thing to start."

Lucas faces his brother and nods his head.

"I know and I'm ready too." Lucas turns to Keith and Dan. "I'm glad that both of you could be here today, that all of you could be here today," Lucas states as Jake walks in the room. "This is the second biggest moment of my life."

"What was your first?" Nathan asks.

"The day Sophia was born which I'm sure you'll feel the exact same way Nathan, when it's your turn."

Nathan smiles and nods his head.

"I'm sure it will be."

Lucas takes a breath and smiles at the men in his room.

"I'm ready."

"Nathan and I will be with you shortly," Dan says to the men exiting the room.

Nathan turns to his father with a questioning look.

"I haven't really said anything about Haley and the baby and I want to now. I mean it's Lucas' day and everything, but I've got some things that I have to do…that I have to fix and I need to be away to do that. I'm happy for you, son and I'm happy for Lucas and I can't wait to meet my other grandchild."

"Dad, you don't have to say this. I mean you've changed and I've seen it. You don't have to go."

"I love your mom Nathan. I want to make it right with her and I think getting away from Tree Hill will do that."

Nathan nods his head in understanding.

"If you are sure?" Dan nods his head. "You have to say goodbye to everybody first because I'm sure that Sophia would miss her grandpa."

Dan smiles.

"What are you doing here?"

Victoria steps further into the room.

"I wasn't going to miss my daughter's wedding."

"But you'd miss out on the first three years of your granddaughter's life, that really makes sense because if I could change it I'd rather you have been there for that then for this."

"I made a mistake Brooke. I know that. I'm also not going to make excuses for what I've done. But there is one thing that will never change…You, are my daughter and that trumps everything else. I just hope that you can one day forgive me."

Brooke didn't know what to think of about her mother's intentions, but right now she had to focus on what was happening now.

"We can talk about it more, later, but right now I have a wedding to be in. Do you mind walking me down the aisle?"

"I'd be my pleasure."

~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~

Lucas stood next to the reverend as smiled when he saw his little girl walk down the aisle throwing flowers everywhere. Sophia was giggling and was all smiles. Nathan was standing next to him seeing as he was his best man. Jake was his groomsman.

One by one Lucas watched as his friends stood from their pews and turned to the church doors. His soon to be wife stood next to her mother which surprised him, but it didn't matter because seeing Brooke took his breath away.

"You look beautiful," Lucas says once Brooke reaches him.

"You look handsome yourself."

Brooke and Lucas turned and faced the reverend.

"We are gathered together on this beautiful afternoon to share with Broke and Lucas as they exchange vows of their everlasting love. Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"

"That would be me," Victoria says with a smile as she places Brooke's hand in Lucas. She sits down next to her granddaughter who smiles brightly at her.

"As Brooke and Lucas take their vows today, we are privileged to witness the joyous love of a new family…a family that will be nourished and nurtured through the devotion of two separate individuals growing together through the common bonds of love. May their marriage bring them the peace, joy and comfort and contentment that are known in the hearts of all God's children. And may Lucas and Brooke both look forward to each new season of their marriage…just as the world looks forward to each new season of the year. For all seasons bring with them their own special moments and memories. An essential requirement of a good marriage is a strong bond of real friendship and trust. Brooke and Lucas, your love for each other will grow deeper with every passing day, but it's important to remember that your love stands on a foundation of genuine, mutual affection and respect for each other. To truly LOVE another person is to be willing to accept both their strong points and their weak points, with equal measure of understanding and respect…The vows you are about to exchange will serve as a verbal representation of the nonverbal emotions that are as real as anything that can be seen, heard or touched. For it is not the words that you will speak today that will bond you together as one but the strength of the love and commitment found deep within your souls…At this time, I'll ask you, Lucas, and you Brooke, to face each other and take each other's hands."

Brooke and Lucas do as they are told.

"Lucas, will you take Brooke to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"

Lucas looks into Brooke's eyes that have tears in them, and smiles.

"I will," as he places the ring that Nathan had given him just moments before.

"Brooke, will you take Lucas to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"

"I will," Brooke says before grabbing the ring from Peyton and placing it on Lucas' finger.

"Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

And that's what Lucas did.
