Tracy had a big smile on her face. She looked at Link and smiled at him. He smiled back.
Wilbur was beaming. Finally, she was at the front.
"Who gives this beautiful woman away?" the minister asked.
"Her mother and I," Wilbur said. He kissed his daughter's cheek and gave her hand to Link. He walked to Edna.
"You all may be seated," the minister said. Everyone sat down.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today for the marriage of this man and this woman," the minister began. "If there is any person here who doesn't believe in this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace."
No one spoke. Link and Tracy let out a breath.
"Lincoln Alexander Larkin, do you take Tracy Edna Turnblad to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have , hold and cherish her from this day forward?" the minister asked Link.
"I do," Link said.
"Tracy Edna Turnblad, do you take Lincoln Alexander Larkin to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have, hold and cherish from this day forward?" the minister asked Tracy.
"I do," Tracy said, smiling at Link.
"Link and Tracy wrote their own wedding vows," the minister said. "Who has the rings?"
Jonathon handed the minister the rings.
"Tracy, you may go first," the minister said.
