Reverend: We gather here in the presence of God to celebrate the union of two of our own who have come to exemplify lasting love and commitment. Ridge and Brooke are an inspiration to all of us. With each passing year, they continue to inspire us with the awareness that, while none of us is perfect, no marriage infallible, no relationship without its challenges, forgiveness is blessed among all virtues, and so whoever has just cause why these two should not be united in marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Ridge: Reverend, before we proceed, I'd, uh... I have something I'd like to say.

(Knock on door)

Taylor: (Sighs)

Taylor: Thorne.

Thorne: I thought I might find you here. Mwah.

Taylor: Hi, well , you know, I was just catching up on little bit of work. I didn't have anybody scheduled. I thought you were going to the wedding.

Thorne: I was. I, uh, wished my brother well, then I left.

Taylor: Why didn't you stay?

Thorne: Because there's only one person I want to be with today.

Taylor: You didn't have to miss your brother's wedding for me.

Thorne: There's a better reason.

Taylor: I suppose you have been to a few of those.

Thorne: (Laughs) That's an understatement. How are you doing?

Taylor: Uh.. (Sighs) I was just, uh, feeling a little nostalgic. (Chuckles) So from what I understand, uh, Stephanie planned this whole wedding.

Thorne: It was a bit much, in my opinion.

Taylor: Well, she is Ridge's mother.

Thorne: She's also your closest friend, besides me.

Taylor: Well, Stephanie has changed. We all have.

Ridge: It wouldn't surprise me at all if some or all of you were wondering why we're even doing this. Another wedding-- is it really necessary? No, no, it isn't, not to us. We are more than aware at this point what we mean to each other. A wedding is about a lot more than just two people getting married. A wedding is about, uh, a public acknowledgement of something and all of you share in that with us today, so 'd like to ask any of you, if you wish, to just stand up and tell the rest of us what this wedding, this particular wedding, means to you, because I have a feeling... that there's a far greater significance going here than just what Brooke and I are doing up here.

Katie: Well, I guess... (Chuckles) I guess, I'll go first. (Laughs) What does marriage means to me.. (Sighs) Well, Brooke pretty much raised me, you know. My mom-- our mom... (Laughs) Was working to support us, and our dad was gone a lot of the time, and Brooke knew how much I needed her, how much we al; needed her. She has taught me perseverance, and she's given me strength. She has told me that I should never settle for anything less than what my heart really wants. And I feel like that's what this wedding is all about. (Sighs) And I don't think that I'm alone in feeling that way. Brooke and Ridge, they are an example of always following your heart, no matter what the odds are. They are a living statement of what it means to never give up.

Stephanie: Here we are again...

All: (Laughing)

Brooke: Oh, boy.

Stephanie: I suspect, though for the last time. You know, it used to annoy the heck out of me that these two were so determined to stay together when I thought there was every reason for them not to. Do any of you know that I used to fight with Brooke all the time?

All: (Laughing)

Stephanie: Yes. I even tried to pound some sense into my.. (Sighs) son's thick skull all about her-- "Ridge, stay away from Brooke, Brooke, stay away from Ridge"-- to no avail. And then one day, the Grim Reaper came knocking at my door. And I kind of thought, well, okay, my life at that moment seemed a little empty and meaningless, and I sort of gave it over, and I was wiling to accept death. But there was a certain someone... who wouldn't give up on me and would not let me give up. Just like she never gave up on you.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: (Chuckles)

Ridge: I know.

Stephanie: Thank you for that, Brooke. In large part I'm here today because of you. You've given so much to this family, the most important of which is love, love and forgiveness. And your getting married here in my home with my blessing is a testimony to that. Your love and commitment to Ridge and his love and commitment to you is inspiring and never ending. Bless you, sweetheart. Bless you, both.

Taylor: So did you see Steffy at the wedding? (Sighs)

Thorne: Yes. She wouldn't miss being there for Ridge. And, of course, Thomas was, you know, best man.

Taylor: They're so grown up.

Thorne: Does that make you a little sad?

Taylor: No, I'm proud of them. I'm--I'm glad, you know. They've--they've actually come to terms that their father wants to be with Brooke.

Thorne: You know, they worry about you.

Taylor: Well, they shouldn't. Then again, I guess all children worry about their parents.

Thorne: Less so if their parents are happy.

Taylor: I am. A day like this can be little bit challenging, but it isn't anything I haven't been through before. (Sighs)

Thorne: Losing Ridge all over again

Taylor: No, Thorne, I wouldn't put it like that, because I can't lose Ridge. Uh, we have children together, and that will always be a bond for us.

Thorne: Yeah. So much history.

Taylor: Well, does that bother you or does it discourage you? Because I wish it wouldn't, Thorne. I care about you.

Thorne: (sighs)

Taylor: I care about you very much. But there going to be times when memories are going to come up, especially on days like today. Those memories.. are a very special part of my life. (Sighs) Those will always be with me.

Thorne: (Sighs)

Hope: "To love is to forgive. To forgive is to see all offenses as having never occurred. Retribution and atonement are not part of the loving and forgiving soul. Let us walk as one, quick to forgive, early and often each day. The kingdom of heaven is here in our life as husband and wife. The kingdom of heaven is forgiveness and love. We live in this kingdom, together and forever."

Thomas: And now we're reading from the book of Thomas. (Chuckles)

Brooke: (Chuckles)

Thomas: And by Thomas I mean I-I wrote this. We have watched you, as children we have grown as you've grown. We've seen our mistakes as you have seen yours. We have made our correction on the path of life as you've corrected the errors on our own path. You have blessed us with creation, with abundance of spirit. We bless you in return with gift only children can bestow their parents-- our love, our loyalty, and our gratitude for the lessons of oneness you have taught us.

Ridge: Thank you.

Thomas: (Mouths words)

Reverend: Let us pray. Father, we stand before you this day accepting of your gift and praying for your guidance. Let Ridge and Brooke be a shining beacon to us all. A constant reminder that love is not for a season, but for a lifetime. If we know not love, we are doomed. Let us always remember to look at one another and see the love in the eyes of our beloved. Let us all do that now.

Katie: (Chuckles)

Reverend: The rings, please.

Ridge: Thomas.

Thorne: Are you sure you don't want me to get you out of here?

Taylor: That isn't how I deal with things. I don't run away from my feelings. I am not in pain, Thorne.

Thorne: Can you move on?

Taylor: I already have.

Thorne: You're a good person, Taylor. You're a blessing to the world, to all of us. You're a symbol of grace, strength, and I want to be there for you the way that you've been there for me. Can I do that?

Taylor: Yes, you can. You are.

Rick: Thomas, are you looking for these?

Thomas: (Sighs)

Rick: You left them in the office.

Thomas: Great.

Brooke: Oh. (Laughs)

Thomas: Thank you.

Hope: (Clears throat)

Thomas: Sorry.

Reverend: Let these rings be a symbol of something that has no end-- the love of a man and woman, the love of Ridge and Brooke.

Brooke: (Sighs) With this ring, I wed you one more time.

Stephanie: (Chuckles)

Ridge: (Chuckles)

Brooke: (Laughs) We have been through so much together. And I always knew that there was not one thing that we couldn't overcome. The people sues, fear-- nothing stopped us. We have weathered many, many storms together.

Ridge: Oh, yeah.

Brooke: And I do look forward to see what may arise in the future, no pun intended. (Laughs)

Ridge: Okay.

Stephanie: Oh.

All: (Laughing)

Ridge: None taken.

Stephanie (Laughs)

Brooke: You are a part of me. And I am a part of you. And I do love you. I love you today. I love you tomorrow. And I love you forever. (Sighs) You are my dear sweet Ridge Forrester. Am I supposed to put the ring on you?

Ridge: I think you are, yes.

Reverend: Yes, you are.

Brooke: Okay. (Giggles) I forgot.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: (Laughs)

Ridge: And you, Ms. Logan.. I will never be without you. You fulfill me completely. We are inseparable. My strength is your strength. Your strength is mine. Our children manifest that strength and that love, too. (Sighs) You will always be with me.

Brooke: (Sniffles)

Ridge: In my heart and in my soul.

Brooke: (Sniffles)

Ridge: Our life will be one. In fact, you are my heart, Brooke Logan, and you always will be.

Brooke: (Sniffles)

Ridge: Please accept that on this day and forever, I love you. I always will.

Brooke: (Sniffles) (Laughs) (Sniffles)

Reverend: With the power vested in me by the state of California, I pronounce you husband and wife. Ridge, you may kiss your bride.

Brooke: (Laughs)

(Applause)

Brooke: (Speaks indistinctly)
