Chapter Thirty-Eight


The priest continued, "These two have chosen to write their own vows, they will now proceed." he nodded at Lucky to begin.

Lucky took a deep breath and took Liz's hands in his. "Elizabeth Webber, I take you as my wife. For now, forever."

"I never thought that I could feel this way about someone, and have them feel it in return. Our love in a miracle from God. I will never feel this way about another person as long as I live. When I first met you I didn't realize what as integral part of my life you would be. You are my girl, and I'll be your guy forever and ever. Our love sustains me, it will never die. What I feel for you Elizabeth is as real as it gets, and nothing will ever change that. I will stand by you, in richer and in poorer, in sickness and in health, I will love and cherish you until death do us part."

Liz smiled up at him through the veil, her eyes shining with tears of joy and love. Lucky took her hand and slipped the ring on.

Liz began her vow to Lucky, "Lucas Spencer, I take you as my husband. For now, forever."

"I love you with all my being, I could never love another human being as I do you. You complete me Lucky, I can't imagine my life without the other half of me, that's you. I nearly lost you recently, adn it made me realize axactly how much I need you in my life. You are my life. My heart belongs to you, and you alone, forever. Remember once when I told you you were my angel? Well, it's true, more than you can know. I will tell you now what I told you then. I trust you with my life Lucky, and now I am entrusting it to you forever. I will love you, in richer or poorer, sicknes and in health, I will love and cherish you until death do us part."

Liz slipped the ring on Lucky's hand. He smiled at her, tears glistening in his eyes as well.

THey heard sobbing from the congregation. Laura was crying, which was no surprise to anyone. She cried at any wedding, and this one was the one of her son. Luke sat beside her, looking slightly embarassed.

The priest asked Lucky, "Do you, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Jr., take Elizabeth Imogene Webber as your lawfully wedded wife?"

Lucky grinned, "I do."

"Do you, Elizabeth Imogene Spencer, take Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Jr. as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do," Liz said softly.

THe priest smiled, "What God has joined, let no man break apart. By the power invested in me I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Lucky lifted Elizabeth's veil ove her head. He leaned down and touched his lips gently to hers. As they kissed, everyone in the chapel clapped enthusiastically.

THey pulled apart, their eyes locked. Lucky kept his hand intertwined with Liz's. They looked out at their gathered family and friends, all there to support them. Neither had any doubt in their minds that they had done the right thing.

Their love was honest, pure and eternal. Their marriage had a strong foundation of love, trust and friendship. They had a beautiful daughter whom they loved nearly as much as each other. They were each others homes, they would be togehter forever, just as they'd promised. Their love had already been tested and they had survived all live had thrown their way. They were now joined together in the eyes of God and the law.

Sarah hugged Liz, "I'm so happy for you Liz."

"Thanks," Liz whispered back, "Thank you so much for being here. I love you Sarah."

"I'd hope so," Sarah kidded, but Liz could see how much that simple sentiment meant to her.

Nik shook hands and then hugged Liz, "Welcome to the family sis. My brother doesn't deserve all he's getting, but as long as you're happy......."

"Thanks Nik, but I'm perfectly happy." Liz smiled, "It'll be nice to have another brother though."

Em hugged both Liz and Lucky. "I'm so happy for you both! ALthough I always knew this would happen. Just promise I cna come visit you."

"You're always welcome Em, you know taht," Lucky said.

They walked down the aisle together, husband and wife. They would survive. They had endured so much already, and had overcome it all.


I look at this mountain
So many heart aches wide
And I can't help but wonder
Where's the other side
I've got to be honest


I've got my doubts
These tears are asking me
What's this got to do with love?
Baby, I'll tell you something
To help us throught this long, dark night


[Chorus]
When this trouble passes over
You and I will walk away
Knowing that our love survived
Another test of faith
You and I can walk on water
The river rises, we rise above
It may not look that wasy right now
But trust me, baby....this is love.


Love isn't easy
I'm torn, I confess
when a heart is uncertain
It's bound to second guess
This love won't forsake us
So dry your tears I promise you


Chorus
I'm here for you baby
There's nothing I want more
Our day is coming
And we'll reach that peacful shore


Chorus
When this trouble passes over
You and I will walk away
Knowing that our love survived
Another test of faith
Cause you and I can walk on water
The river rises, we rise above
It may not look that was right now
But trust me, baby...this is love
One more mountain
Hey...so what
Trust me baby...this is love
