Priest: Friends and loves ones, we are gathered here today to witness the renewal of a commitment between Nathan and Haley, to love one another unconditionally and endlessly. Nathan and Haley, there are many things I could say to the two of you today, but instead I choose to listen to the words you have for each other. Haley?

Haley: Nathan, it’s been said that there’s one word that will free us from the weight and the pain of life, and that world is love. And I believe that. That doesn’t mean that it hasn’t been hard, or that it won’t be, it just means that I’ve found a stillness and bravery in my self, with you. You make me brave. And I will love you until the end of time. This I vow today.

Priest: Nathan?

Nathan: Last year we stood on a beach, and I told you how much I loved you and how I would always, always protect you. That day, nobody believe that this would work. But I don’t think anybody understand the love that I had for you, because if they did, they would have never doubted us. So, I wanted to marry you all over again, in front of most of our world, because today, when I look into your eyes, my love for you only grows. It’s even stronger now. And our love will never waver. This I Vow to you, today and always, and forever.

Haley: Forever.

Priest: Haley on this day, do you reconfirm and rededicate yourself to the vows you promised to uphold?

Haley: (She take the ring) Oh thank you! I do. (She put the ring to Nathan’s finger)

Priest: Nathan, on this day, do you rededicate and reconfirm your commitment to the vows you promised to uphold?

Brooke: You are something else. How dare you be so selfish to ask me that about my boyfriend!

Peyton: How dare I? Okay, you know what, Brooke, I didn’t want it this way. Okay, I tried tears all right? I tired a apologizing to you. I cried. And you know what you did. You slapped me, and you blew me off.

Brooke: Yeah, and you gonna be lucky if next time I don’t use my fist.

Int. Reception room.

Lucas: Well, what’s that supposed to mean?

Brooke: Peyton told me some things about two of you.

Lucas: Look, Brooke, I know that you’re worried about my past with Peyton but have to understand the circumstances this time, you know? I mean, God, she was bleeding, and she thought she was gonna die. I mean, the kiss, it mean nothing. (Brooke stop to dance)

Brooke: What kiss? Do you kiss her again? ( she leaves the dance floor)

Rachel look Cooper, who are be dancing with Peyton, and the take the bottle of champagne.

In the girl’s room, Brooke search something in the bags.

Lucas: Look, Brooke, I need you to listen to me. Okay, I understand that you didn’t know about the kiss, and I’m sorry for springing it on you, but I meant what I said. I didn’t mean anything.

Brooke: A kiss always means something.

Lucas: Okay, well, maybe you’re right but it wasn’t a romantic moment. And you would know that if…

Brooke: If what, I was here? AS you so sweetly pointed out as the party, the party that I threw for you, I wasn’t there, was I?

Lucas: Is it impossible for you to forgive me? I forgave you.

Brooke: For what?

Lucas: For sleeping with Chris Keller.

Brooke: (she begin crying) And you know what, Lucas? I loved you for that. You had such grace in that moment that I felt in love with you all over again. I can’t believe that you would use it now as bargaining chip.

Lucas: No, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not. I just … I need you to trust me and believe me when I tell you that my heart is with you. But a part of me feels like ever since we got back together, you’re just been waiting, waiting to push me away.

Brooke: Oh, great. You kiss Peyton again and I’m pushing you away! God, why did I make everybody identical purses as wedding gifts?

Lucas: I love you, Brooke. I don’t know how else to say it.

Brooke: How about how you show it? I am not pushing you away Lucas. I am holding on for dear life, but. I need you to need me back. Okay, why wouldn’t you tell me about the kiss. And why won’t you ever just let me all the way in? (she cry) We have to go and give our toasts now, about love.

Lucas: Please don’t be mad, Brooke.

Brooke: I’m not mad, Lucas. I’m not mad. ( she go away)

Lucas makes a speech.

Lucas: The last time I gave a speech about Nathan and Haley was, well, at their first reception. And I remember saying, “Prepare to be surprised.” Well, I have to say, even I was surprised. Because, you see, they do something that’s very rare to see in someone our age. Actually, it’s very rare to see in anybody. They give their hearts to each other, unconditionally. And that’s what true love really is. It’s not this fairy-tale life that never knows pain, but it’s two souls facing it together, and diminishing it with unconditional love. To Nathan and Haley Scott.

People applaud. And Brooke makes a speech too.

Brooke: I’m not the most eloquent speaker, so I thought I would borrow a few words from Shakespeare. “Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.” When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same. I look at Nathan and Haley and somehow I feel safer. I don’t know if I can explain that, but they give me hope. And I’m afraid to say it out loud, because maybe if life finds out, it’ll try to b*at it out of them. And that would be a shame, because we all can use a little hope sometimes, you know? That feeling that everything is gonna be okay, and that there’s gonna be someone there to help make sure of that. So here’s to Nathan and Haley. Here’s to hope. And here’s to a love that will not alter.

People applaud. Haley kisses Nathan. Karen is outside and Dan came.

Dan: I never apologized for the way I treated you and Lucas, or for the way I treated Keith. I suppose it’s too late.

Karen: I’m pregnant.

Dan approaches Karen but she’s move back. Dan approaches again and takes Karen in his arms.

Dan: I’m gonna be there for you this time, Karen. It’s gonna be okay.

Cooper takes the microphone and makes a speech.

Cooper: Hi. Excuse me, I’d like your attention for a second. I’d like to propose a toast to my knucklehead of a nephew and his beautiful bride. As most of you know, Nathan and Haley’s relationship was unexpected, mostly because Haley is classy and attractive, and Nathan is not. But here’s to Nathan and Haley, for proving to us that love is real, and genuine, and still attainable for the rest of us. Cheers, you two.

People applaud. Cooper goes to Nathan.

Nathan: Thanks, Coop, I guess.

Cooper: Love you, man.

Rachel, drunk, takes the microphone too.

Rachel: Well, well. I would like to make a toast to Cooper’s toast, about love. But wait a minute. What could Nathan and Haley possibly know about love? I mean, they’re only 17, right? Right, Cooper? You see, Cooper seems to think a 17-year-old couldn’t possibly know anything about love. Of course, you know, that didn’t stop him from having sex with me, right?

Mouth: Rachel.

Rachel: Yeah. To sex with Cooper!

Rachel puts the microphone and running outside.

Nathan: Is she serious?

Cooper: I’m so sorry. I’ll be right back. Excuse me.

Cooper runs to Rachel.

Cooper: Hey, Rachel, come on!

Rachel goes up into the car.

Cooper: Rachel! No, no, no! Hey, bad idea! Hey!

Rachel starts and Cooper and Rachel go up into the car too.

Cooper: Rachel, stop the car. Damn it, Rachel, stop the car!

Rachel stops the car and Cooper gets out the car.

Cooper: You trying to k*ll me? What is your problem? First, you ruin the reception, you steal the limousine, and you drive drunk! Are you out of your mind?

Rachel: I must be, to fall in love with you!

Cooper: Look, I’m sorry, Rachel, okay? I made a mistake when we slept together, and it wasn’t just because you’re 17. Hell, even when I thought you were older, I wasn’t looking to get serious. I’m sorry, I mean, that sounds harsh, but you even said, “We’re just having fun, Coop.” Remember?

Rachel: I lied. I’m so stupid.

Cooper: Hey, don’t...Don’t do that.

Rachel: I thought you liked me.

Cooper: I did, Rachel. I liked you.

Rachel: Right. “Liked.”

Cooper: Look, let me take you home. Okay?

Rachel: No. I left all my stuff at the reception. My purse, my keys...

Cooper: That’s fine. That’s great, you know what? We’ll take the limousine back to the reception, and we’ll pretend like none of this ever happened. All right? Let’s go.

Cooper goes to the car.

At the reception, Nathan and Haley arrive outside where people wait them.

Lucas: So, there was a slight mix-up.

Haley: Sweet. I’m driving.

Nathan: No way! Hey, we’ll leave the car at the airport.

Lucas: All right.

Haley: We’re going to London for a few days.

Lucas: Why? Doesn’t it always rain there?

Nathan: Oh, yeah. You in?

Haley: Thanks you, guys,, for coming. We love you!

People applaud and Nathan and Haley go away. Brooke joins Mouth.

Brooke: Hey, buddy. It looks like Rachel took the limo with Cooper. I’m sorry.

Mouth: Yeah. Me, too.

Mouth goes and Lucas joins Brooke.

Lucas: I guess we never finished that conversation.

Brooke: Dance with me.

Brooke takes Lucas hand and they’re going on the dance floor.

Brooke: Didn’t you miss me while you were away?

Lucas: Every day. I was just angry and upset about Keith, and I just needed to be alone, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t miss you, Brooke, because I did.

Brooke: I needed to hear you voice. There’s just so much stuff going on with me.

Lucas: What kind of stuff?

Brooke doesn’t answer and kisses him.

Nathan and Haley are in the car.

Nathan: I just got that feeling, that stillness I used to feel before dawn, that feeling that the world could be perfect.

Haley: Yeah, I feel it, too.

Haley put the bracelet around Nathan’s wrist.

Haley: Don’t say I never gave you anything.

At the reception, Lucas is sitting on a chair and Peyton joins him.

Peyton: Then there were two. Sorry about today, and all the drama.

Lucas: Peyton? I accidentally told Brooke about the library, the kiss.

Karen: Luke? Hi. Are you going home with Brooke, or with me?

Lucas: With you. Brooke left. I’m sorry.

Lucas stands up.

Karen: You and Brooke okay?

Lucas: Yeah. She’s just going through some stuff.

Karen: Well, listen, could you grab my wrap and my purse?

Lucas: Yeah, sure. I’ll drive.

Lucas find a pregnancy test.

Lucas: Hey, Ma? Are you pregnant?

Karen: Yes, I am. That’s not my purse. Oh, you know, maybe Brooke took the wrong...Brooke?

Peyton’s bedroom. Brooke packs one’s bag.

Peyton: Brooke, don’t go, please.

Brooke: I don’t want to, but I have to.

Peyton: Okay, all right, look. Just stop, all right? What do I have to do to fix this? Brooke, I’ll do anything. Just...I don’t want you to go.

Brooke: You know, you asked me earlier today if I love Lucas, and I have your answer. But you don’t deserve to hear it.

Peyton: Brooke.

Brooke: No. I want you to understand something. As far as I’m concerned, this friendship is over. And if we never speak again for the rest of our lives, that’ll be fine. I gave you a second chance, Peyton, and you blew it.

Rachel is crying in the limo and Cooper is driving.

Rachel: Is there anything I was Say to keep you, Cooper?

Cooper: No, sorry, Rachel, there’s not.

Rachel: That’s too bad, because there’s something I have to tell you.

In the car of Nathan and Haley.

Haley: Oh, I left my purse! It’s got everything in it, the plane tickets, everything. We have to go back.

Nathan: No, hold on, it’s okay. I’ll just have Lucas meet us. Hey, Luke. Hey, man, Haley left her purse and a bunch of stuff at the reception, could you bring that to us?

Haley: It’s in the anteroom.

Nathan: Oh. Oh, okay. All right, well, we’re coming up on the Molina Bridge right now, so, I guess we’ll just pull over and wait for you. All right. Thanks, man. Bye. Done. He already had the purse in his car.

Haley: You’re good in a crisis.

Nathan: I don’t know about that.

Haley: No, you are. Good thing, too, especially since I have something I have to tell you.

In the limo with Rachel and Cooper.

Cooper: I don’t believe you.

Rachel: Pull over.

Cooper: Hell, no. I’m not letting you out until we talk about this.

Rachel: I said, pull over!
