Brooke: What's keeping Maddie?
Hayley: I don't know. She's a kid, she --
Brooke: Well, she just went to the house to get her bouquet. You know, what -- what's keeping her? Maybe -- should I go?
Hayley: No, no, no. You stay here. Stay here. Deep breath, relax. Think bridal thoughts.
Brooke: Ok. Hayley: Will you do me a favor, Jamie, and go tell the band to hold the music for now?
Jamie: Will do.
Hayley: Ok? Thanks.
Brooke: Ok. Hayley: Deep breath.
Brooke: All right.
Tad: Brooke, what are you doing? You're supposed to be halfway down the aisle by now.
Brooke: Oh, Tad, I can't.
Tad: Don't tell me you're having second thoughts, you know, because you're killing me if you are.
Brooke: No, Tad --
Tad: Your problem is you always think too much. Now, just knock it off, ok? You go in there. You're killing Edmund. Just walk in there, make --
Brooke: Tad.
Tad: What?
Brooke: Maddie forgot her bouquet.
Tad: Oh. Ok, well, you know, I mean, what good is a flower girl without flowers?
Brooke: Right. So I hope she's not ransacking the garden.
Tad: Yeah, well, you know, if push comes to shove, just give her a cigarette lighter, you know? Just --
Brooke: Oh! Thank you -- for everything, really.
Tad: You're this close to a happy ending, you know? And I'm going to make damn sure you get it. [Tad growls]
Edmund: What's up with Brooke? Everything all right?
Tad: Brooke is fine. The flower girl is having a slight problem.
Edmund: Yeah, well, I heard about that. Is that all there is?
Tad: I give you my word. As soon as Maddie finds her bouquet, we can carry on with the festivities.
Edmund: Thanks. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for your patience. And we're just experiencing a slight delay, but there will be a wedding as promised, as soon as we can locate a missing bouquet.
Man: A missing bouquet. [Laughter]
David: Edmund.
Edmund: David.
David: I know it wasn't very easy for you to invite me here today, but I am honored to be involved.
Edmund: Well, it's Anna's family, you know? That's what weddings are all about.
David: Right. Well, I'm glad to see things have worked out for you.
Edmund: Worked out?
David: Well, I've been to several Crystal Balls and I've seen just how much Maria meant to you and that you've been able to find that kind of love again and put the past behind you.
Edmund: Maria will always be part of my life.
David: Yes, of course. But to see you on the brink of a new life with Brooke, whom you've loved for so many years, well, who knows -- maybe there really is a master plan where things happen for the best.
Hayley: Oh, there you are. Did you find them?
Maddie: They were right here.
Hayley: Oh, good. Ok. You all set? Ready to go be in a wedding?
Maddie: Yeah!
Hayley: Let's go. [Maria watches as Maddie goes with Hayley]
Maria: My baby girl.
David: I wish you all the best.
Mateo: Was David making trouble?
Edmund: He was making nice.
Mateo: I don't know. He makes me nervous. What do you think?
Edmund: He seemed sincere.
Mateo: Well, that's a sure sign he's throwing down some lies.
Edmund: Well, who knows? Maybe Anna's turned him into a human being.
[David remembers one Crystal Ball when he first sees a picture of Maria] [Glass breaks]
Edmund: Dr. Hayward? Oh, don't worry about the glass. We've got plenty of them. Is everything all right?
David: Um -- who is this?
Edmund: Oh, that's right, you never met her. That was my wife, Maria. She died in a plane crash.
David: How terrible.
Edmund: Yeah. Well, I created this event in her honor. It keeps her memory alive.
David's voice: I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't know.
[David looks around the chapel]
David: Please. Let this happen.
Brooke: Oh, you're here!
Hayley: Is everybody all set to rock and roll?
Jamie: Yeah.
Maddie: Yeah!
Hayley: Ok. Well, you ready?
Brooke: Uh-huh.
Hayley: Let's get the "happily ever after" on with.
Brooke: Ok.
Maddie: Wait! For good luck. [Maddie kisses Brooke]
Brooke: Oh, you're my good luck.
Hayley: Ok, you two. Come on. Come on, come on, come on.
[Wedding music] [Wedding music] [Wedding music] [Music stops]
Father Claude: Edmund and Brooke have chosen to write their own vows. Who will speak first?
Edmund: I won the toss. [Laughter]
Edmund: Brooke, you're a brilliant editor, but you're going to have to listen this time, and no cuts. Along with a devilish red pencil, you've also brought passion and laughter back into my life. You're -- to start and end each day in your arms is to know perfect contentment. Your love for me and my two children have shaped us into a family again. We are better, stronger, and happier because you're in our lives. Brooke, I know that you've known a lot of pain and loss, but know this -- with this marriage, you will never be alone again. As your husband, I vow to love, honor, and protect you, to never fail. And if I succeed, it's because you inspire me with your devotion to friends and family, your compassion, your integrity.
Brooke: Edmund, please don't --
Edmund: No, I said no editing, remember? [Laughter]
Edmund: One of the things I love about Brooke is her modesty. This woman loves so fearlessly that she will risk everything, including her own happiness, just for the sake of those who are lucky enough to be loved by her. And being one of those lucky ones, I vow to do everything in my power to be worthy of that love.
Brooke: There are no words to tell you what you mean to me. I mean, what can I say to a man who offers castles and cheese puffs with equal fervor? [Laughter]
Brooke: But Maddie inspired me. The tradition "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" -- well, it sort of took on new meaning today because she gave me her handkerchief from her christening, and it signifies there's something old -- the gathering together of friends and family in our new life. And I promise to honor our past so that it nourishes our present and our future. And then there's the something new, from Laura, and that's because we're starting our future today and it goes with a promise from me that I will make sure it's built on love and joy and good times and laughter. And my something old and borrowed is from my Aunt Phoebe, and I'm sure she's hoping that some of her common sense rubs off on me. I want to fill your day and our children's days with love, every day. And my something blue is romantic and not mentionable and it's -- thank you, Hayley. I promise to honor you as my husband, to be your comfort and your confidant. I give you my heart and my soul because it's through your love and your faith that I have a second chance at a love that I thought was never possible.
Edmund: Brooke? You ok?
Edmund: Brooke, what is it?
Brooke: Sometimes it seems like life is just a series of tests and if you fail one, then you lose everything. And if I lost you, Edmund --
Edmund: I'm afraid you're stuck with me for eternity.
Brooke: I want to believe that. I think that a love that's as strong as ours deserves a chance, doesn't it? I mean, that's why I stopped looking back. That's why I stopped waiting for the past to catch up with me again. Your love gave me the courage to do that -- to grab on the brass ring and hold on. And the joy in this room, I -- I think it's proof that it was meant to be. Isn't it?
Edmund: Listen, you never doubt that our love was meant to be, ok? Nothing's going to take it away. I won't let that happen.
Edmund: Brooke, I promise you the bad times are behind us. Let me love you the way you deserve to be loved.
Brooke: I want nothing more than to spend my life making you happier than you could ever dream. I love you, Edmund.
Edmund: I love you, too. [Brooke and Edmund start to kiss]
Father Claude: No, no, no, not yet.
[Maria watches] [Laughter]
Brooke: Oh.
Father Claude: Marriage is a holy state into which these two have come to be joined. Therefore, if any person can show just cause why Brooke and Edmund may not be lawfully wed, let them speak now or forever hold their peace. Sam, do you have the rings? Come on.
Brooke: Thank you, Sam.
Father Claude: Let these rings be given and received as tokens of your love and fidelity to one another. Edmund, please place the ring on Brooke's finger.
Edmund: With this ring, I thee wed.
Father Claude: Brooke?
Brooke: With this ring, I thee wed.
Father Claude: Edmund and Brooke have consented together to wedlock and to pledge their vows to each other. Therefore, by the authority vested in me by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Now you may kiss the bride.
[Laughter] [applause]
Father Claude: It is with great pleasure that I present Mr. And Mrs. Edmund Grey.
Edmund: Thank you.
Brooke: Oh! [Wedding music]
