The next morning couldn't come any faster for Jack and Kate. Kate awoke, going to sit on the beach like she did every morning.
"What are you doing out here?" Jack asked, sitting beside her and wrapping his arms around her small frame.

"Enjoying my last few hours as a single woman." She said jokingly.

Jack rolled his eyes. "Thanks…makes me feel real loved." She laughed. "I was just kidding."

"Were you?" He paused for a moment. "Kate…is this moving too fast for you?"
"No, Jack. No. I love you. I want to marry you today."
"Are you sure?"
She nodded. "Jack…I've never been so sure of anything in my entire life."

"I love you so much Kate."

"I love you too Jack." She said, kissing him. "Are we ready?" she asked.

Jack laughed. "Kate…if you're honestly doubting this, it's not too late to get out. But I want you to know, that I hope you never doubt my love for you. I will love you forever, Kate Austen."
"Me too, Jack."

"KATE! It's bad luck to see him before the wedding!" Claire yelled, running to her and grabbing her hand. Kate rolled her eyes and laughed at her friend.
"Come on! We have to get you ready!" she said, dragging Kate off. She looked back over her shoulder and looked at Jack, smiling and winking.
"See you later stud." She said and he laughed.
"Right back at ya." He said and she giggled, walking into her tent with Claire.

The beach was decorated beautifully with assorted tropical flowers and torches surrounding the small chapel that Eko had constructed. Everyone was gathered on the beach; Mr. Eko, Ana Lucia, Libby, Sawyer, Sayid, Sun, Jin, Claire, Locke, Charlie, Hurley, and of course Jack were standing in the sand, waiting for Kate to appear. She walked out of her tent, locking eyes with Jack. He grinned as she approached him. She looked around her at all of her friends, her family. She smiled, turning back to face Jack and he took her hands, gripping them tightly in his.

"Thank you all for coming to witness the joining of this couple in marriage." Eko opened his old, worn Bible and began to read, "1 Corinthians 13:4-7. 'Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish, it does not take offence, and it is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.'" Mr. Eko began.

"Jack, do you take Kate to be your wife?"
"I do." He smiled
"Do you promise to love and respect her, forsaking all others, and holding only onto her?"
"I do."
"Kate, do you take Jack to be your husband?"
She began to cry. "I do."
"Do you promise to love and respect him, forsaking all others, and holding only onto him?"
"I do."
"Jack and Kate have a few words that they would like to say to each other." Mr. Eko said, stepping aside.

"I'll go first." Kate said, clearing her throat. "Jack…you mean the world to me. I can't imagine what my life would be like without you. To think that we just met a few months ago…and after a plane crash is totally unreal. I know you think I've been questioning my love for you, and your love for me. The fact is, there's no way I could question it, Jack. I know this is right. And you know what? For the first time in my life, I know I don't have to run. I don't have to be afraid of anything as long as you're by my side. Jack, there is nothing you could say or do to make me stop loving you. I know this is fast…we met a few months ago and we're already getting married. But you know what? I know this is right…fate brought us together, Jack. I thank God everyday for bringing you into my life. I absolutely adore the man that you are, Jack Shephard. I love you more than you'll ever know." She said. By the time she was done, both Jack and Kate were crying.

"Kate…I came to this island broken and confused. I had lost my father and my wife. My life didn't mean anything to me. But Kate…when you walked into my life, that all changed. Since we met, I've felt this instant connection with you. Kate, you are my world. I know I can't survive my life without you. All I know about you in the real world is that you were a fugitive. And you know what? I don't even care. I'm willing to face every challenge that life throws at us. Why? Because I love you more than words can express. I know we're not perfect…and there's no way we'll ever be perfect. We'll have our hard times, and we'll have kids, and we'll get older, but one thing will never, EVER change. I will always love you Kate. I want you to know that I'm never going to give you reason to doubt my love for you. I'll love you until the end of time, Kate Austen. Hundreds of years from now, somewhere, somehow, I'll still be loving you. I can't wait to wake up next to you every day for the rest of my life." He said, as tears came down both of their faces.

"Jack, please take Kate's hand and repeat after me."

"I Jack Shephard, take you Kate Austen, to be my wife."
"I Jack Shephard, take you Kate Austen, to be my wife."
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold."
"In sickness and in health."
"In sickness and in health."
"For richer for poorer."
"For richer for poorer."
"And I promise to love you forever more."
"And I promise to love you forever more."

Jack placed the ring on Kate's finger with a huge grin on his face.

"Kate, please take Jack's hand and repeat after me."

"I Kate Austen, take you Jack Shephard, to be my husband."
"I Kate Austen, take you Jack Shephard, to be my husband."
"To have and to hold."
"To have and to hold."
"In sickness and in health."
"In sickness and in health."
"For richer for poorer."
"For richer for poorer."
"And I promise to love you forever more."
"And I promise to love you forever more."

Kate placed the ring onto Jack's finger and smiled.

"I would now like to present to you all, Mr. and Mrs. Jack and Kate Shephard." Mr. Eko announced. "You may now kiss your bride." He said to Jack.

"Finally!" he said jokingly, and everyone laughed. "Come here you." He said, leaning in and kissing his wife.

"I love you Jack."
"I love you too Mrs. Shephard." He said, grabbing her hand as they walked over and hugging all of their friends, officially beginning their lives together as husband and wife.
