Audrey: Oh, Lucky.

Laura: I love you.

Lucky: Love you, too. {Laura steps away}

Audrey: Oh, I know you're going to take wonderful care of Elizabeth. I mean, you are a perfect couple.

Lucky: Well, thank you.

Audrey: Oh, all my love.

Amy: This is so romantic!

Lesley Lu: Mommy says I can throw flower petals! {They all laugh}

Elton: You know, this truly is a magical night.

Lucky: Thank you.

Laura: You know, Elton, my home has never looked more beautiful.

Elton: Ah, well, only the best for you and your loved ones, Mrs. Spencer.

Laura: Oh, thank you.

Audrey: It's gorgeous.

Bobbie: {Walks over to Lucky} Married life isn't always easy, Lucky, but I know you and Elizabeth will always be honest with each other. That's the key.

~*~

Elizabeth: {Walks over to Gia} What did you say?

Gia: Lucky doesn't love you anymore.

Elizabeth: Wow. This has got to be the worst practical joke any maid of honor has ever pulled on a bride.

Gia: Elizabeth, it is no joke. Look, Lucky is only marrying you because he wants to do the right thing.

Elizabeth: That's ridiculous.

Gia: I would rather swallow hot coals than to tell you this, but it's true.

Elizabeth: Gia, Lucky and I are in love.

Gia: You were. Look, Lucky's love never came back after what Helena did to him. Look, I swear to god, Elizabeth, I am telling you the truth. You can't go through with this wedding.

~*~

Elizabeth: {Puts some makeup in her case} You really have a problem, don't you?

Gia: Me?

Elizabeth: I can't believe you're still holding a grudge.

Gia: Elizabeth, this has nothing to do with grudges.

Elizabeth: You know, when you and I first met, we didn't get off on the right foot, to put it mildly, but I thought we had gotten past all that.

Gia: We have. And I'm good friends with Lucky --

Elizabeth: And I just apologized for thinking you were shallow and I said I believed you when you said you loved Nikolas for himself, and now you have to walk all over me and Lucky?

Gia: I'm trying to make you see the truth.

Elizabeth: And what is it? Oh. Oh, it can't be because you're -- are you bent out of shape because Laura chose me as the face of deception?

Gia: Oh, come on, you know that's ancient history.

Elizabeth: Then what is it, Gia? Is it that Nikolas and I are friends, that he had a thing for me once? I mean, are you just storing all these things, then pulling them out at the worst time possible? Because congratulations, I can't think of a better way to hurt me than to ruin my wedding.

Gia: Ok, you're in major denial here.

Elizabeth: Lucky tells me he still loves me.

Gia: Elizabeth, words are not everything.

Elizabeth: It's the truth, Gia.

Gia: I am trying to help you. You know, if I were in your shoes, I would want a good friend to tell me--

Elizabeth: Well, thank you, but I don't need a supposed good friend to scare me half to death right before I marry the man I love. {She leaves the room}

~*~

Gia: {Elizabeth walks back into the room} Elizabeth, I truly want you to be happy.

Elizabeth: I don't want to hear it, ok, because I am going to pretend that your attempt to ruin my wedding never happened.

Gia: I was not trying to upset you.

Elizabeth: Yes, you were.

Gia: Well, trust me, you're going to be a lot more upset if you go through --

Elizabeth: Gia, we are marrying brothers. We are going to be seeing each other and doing things with each other for the rest of our lives. I think it's best if we never mention this again.

Gia: I'm sorry, but --

Elizabeth: {cuts Gia off} I accept your apology. {There's a knock on the door} Come in.

Laura: Hi.

Audrey: Hi.

Laura: Oh, Elizabeth, you look absolutely gorgeous.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Audrey: Oh, darling, you're glowing!

Elizabeth: Hi, gram.

Audrey: Hi, darling.

Bobbie: Elizabeth, you do look beautiful.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Audrey: Well, I -- I guess you don't need any advice from me.

Elizabeth: Well, if anyone can tell me the secrets to a wonderful marriage, it's you, gram.

Audrey: Well, the only thing I know is keep romance alive. Cherish it every morning when you wake up and be grateful for it every night when you go to bed. Hmm? {She hugs her}

Elizabeth: I will.

~*~

Bobbie: Reverend, thank you for coming on such short notice.

Minister: My pleasure.

Bobbie: If you'll stand right over here. We're ready to start.

Amy: Ooh, it's cold out there.

Lucky: It's freezing out there.

Amy: Ooh! Well, I'm going to take you over and stand you where you're supposed to be.

Lucky: Thank you so much.

Laura: {Walks over to Lucky} I love you.

Lucky: I love you.

Laura: {Hugs Nikolas} I love you, too.

Nikolas: I love you.

Amy: You go right over there.

Lesley: Oh, is that the cutest thing.

Lesley Lu comes down the stairs and drops the flower petals

Laura: {LuLu sits in Laura's lap} Good job.

Gia comes down the stairs and her and Nikolas share a look

Audrey comes down the stairs; The music plays and everyone turns as Elizabeth comes down the stairs; Audrey hands Elizabeth her flowers and as places Elizabeth's hand in Lucky's

Minister: Be seated. {Music stops} Dearly beloved, we are gathered together in the presence of god to witness and to bless the joining together of this man and woman in holy matrimony.

~*~

Minister: Therefore, marriage is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but reverently, deliberately, and in accordance with the institution for which it was intended. Now, before we get to the declaration of consent and the "I dos," would you like to add any words of your own?

Nikolas and Gia look at Lucky and Elizabeth

Elizabeth: {Smiles} I think we would.

Lucky: Why don't you start.

Elizabeth: Ok. Well, I'd first like to thank everybody for celebrating with us tonight. There have been so many times when I thought this moment would never happen, but here we are, about to say our vows. And it seems so, so perfect. It feels so right. Lucky, our love has stood the test of time. We have helped and supported each other through the most incredible adversities and come out of it even stronger because of it. You're my life. And you touched the deepest part of me with your warmth and your goodness and your generosity. A few years ago in a small chapel, we pledged our love forever. A permanent lock is what we called it. And tonight we are going to prove just how true those words really are. Our future is shining in front of us, and I can't wait to start it.

Lucky: A permanent lock. That's what it is. Then, now, forever. You never gave up on us. You stood by me through the toughest times, risking everything because you believed in us. And the fact that we're standing here right now, that's proof. It's proof that we're meant to be together. And my love for you was stronger than anything I've ever felt in my life. It still is stronger. And nobody's going to ever be able to change that.

Elizabeth: But they did.

Lucky: What?

Elizabeth: Somebody did change it, didn't they?

Lucky: No.

Elizabeth: I don't see it in your eyes.

Lucky: Elizabeth, please.

Elizabeth: Tell me you love me.

Lucky: I do love you. Elizabeth -- nobody move. This wedding is going to happen. {Lucky leaves and Nikolas looks at Gia, disappointed}

~*~

Nikolas: Look, you know, Lucky, he did tell me that the wedding would go on as planned, so --

Audrey: Maybe I should go up there.

Nikolas: No, actually, I think it's best that we just give them their privacy and let them be alone. I think it's best.

Bobbie: Well, you know, there's supposed to be some fireworks at midnight. We could go out and watch.

Nikolas: Yeah. There you go.

Lesley: That's a very good idea.

Bobbie: Let's do that.

Elton: It's perfect weather for fireworks -- cold and clear. Wouldn't you like join us, reverend?

Minister: Lead the way.

Lesley: You just go with the reverend and I'll be right behind you. Amy?

Amy: Yeah?

Lesley: We need to get coats.

Nikolas: Gia, I need to see you on the porch right now. {Leads Gia toward the porch}

Gia: But you can see the fireworks better --

Nikolas: Now. Gia, now.

Gia: Ok.

Nikolas: {They go outside} You told Elizabeth, didn't you? Didn't you?

~*~

Gia: {Moves closer to him} Happy new year.

Nikolas: You told Elizabeth what you knew about Lucky, didn't you?

Gia: Sort of.

Nikolas: What do you mean, "sort of"? Either you did or you didn't, Gia.

Gia: No woman should marry a man who doesn't love her.

Nikolas: I told you not to say anything. I trusted you with that.

Gia: I couldn't let Elizabeth go through with it without knowing how Lucky really felt.

Nikolas: It was not your business.
