The doors open as Canon in D plays. Lulu walks down
the aisle smiling...until she sees her father...she
catches herself and smiles again...The doors open
and Emily walk down the aisle, smiling. After a
pause, the doors open, revealing Elizabeth. As the
Wedding March begins to play. Elizabeth walks down
the aisle to Lucky. Smiling, they turn to face the
minister.
Minister: Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of god to witness and bless the joining of this man and this woman in holy matrimony. The union of husband and wife is intended by god for their mutual joy, for the help and comfort given to each other in prosperity and adversity, and, when it is his will, for the procreation of children and their nurture. Into this union, Lucas and Elizabeth now come to be joined. If there is any of you who has just cause why these two should not be lawfully wed, speak now or forever hold your peace. After a pause, the minister continues... Minister: Elizabeth Imogene Webber, will you have this man to be your husband, to live together in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live? Elizabeth: [Looking at Lucky] I will. Minister: Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Jr., will you take this woman to be your wife, to live together with her in the covenant of marriage? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others be faithful unto her as long as you both shall live? Lucky: I will.
Minister:
Elizabeth and Lucky have chosen to share their own
vows, spoken to each other and for all of us; spoken
from their hearts. Lucky: [taking Elizabeth's hand, smiling] You're just beautiful. I married you once when we were teenagers in an empty church, with only god and each other as witnesses. We were unable to keep the promises that we made back then, but we'll be able to keep them tonight. Because the time that we spent apart has only made the love that we feel even more precious. Elizabeth, I promise to give you the best of myself, to be your friend, your lover, and your partner. I promise to be the best father I can to Cameron and to all the children that we will have together. I promise to remember the girl that you were and honor the woman you are. I loved you then and I love you now. I'll love you always. Elizabeth: You were my first love, the brave and handsome boy who rescued me. Thank you for loving me that much to make me whole again. We took our separate journeys to live and to learn. I guess we had to grow up a little bit before we could find our way back together. But I know that all the mistakes I made and the difficulties, they were all leading up to this very moment. Lucky, I promise I will never take you or our love for granted. I promise I will always stand by your side, support you, make you laugh [giggles], and cherish this amazing gift that I have been given, the gift of loving you as long as we both shall live.
Minister:
Who has the rings?
Minister:
Bless these rings as a symbol of the vows by which
this man and this woman have bound themselves to
each other. Lucky?
Lucky: I
give you this ring as a symbol of my love, with all
that I am and all that I have. [slips ring onto
Elizabeth's finger]
Elizabeth:
I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, with
all that I am and all that I have. [slips ring onto
Lucky's finger] [Music plays as the guests give Lucky and Elizabeth a standing ovation] |
