Summary: Soon, the wedding day is here. Will, who is running the whole thing, is nervous and trying to avoid thinking about what this day really means. Finally, when Grace asks Will to walk her down the aisle, he refuses, saying that he can't be the man who gives her away to another man.

Leo enters (covering his eyes with his hand so as not to see the bride), wondering wether or not Grace will go through with this wedding, or leave like at her last one (from "Pilot"). Grace is still set on marrying Leo, but takes Will up to the roof to talk.

Once there, Grace tells Will of the first time she saw him, how she vowed she would spend the rest of her life with him. She promises Will that she is still going to be there for him, even though she's getting married. Will tearfully agrees to walk her down the aisle.

Will walks Grace down the aisle, and gracefully gives her to Leo. The two then prepare to by married. After the wedding, Will, Grace, Karen, Jack and Leo are stroll happily outside.


Quotes
WILL: You've gotta be kidding me. The photographer's late. Four people who RSVP'd "no" just arrived with dates. And the cake shows up with two grooms on it. Is the whole city gay?
JACK: Not yet. [WITH ENGLISH ACCENT] But if all goes as planned, come Monday morning... [WRINGS HIS HANDS WITH AN EVIL LAUGH] Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

----

LARRY: You're single again.
JOE: Boy, I miss those days...
LARRY: That can be arranged!
JOE: I'm joking! I was joking.
[JOE HEADS IN.]
LARRY: [QUIETLY TO WILL] But if you know anyone.

KAREN: Oh, honey, come on. You don't have to pretend anymore. It's me you're talking to. Carol.
GRACE: Karen.
KAREN: Oh, pretty.
----

WILL: Ellen, you make a beautiful bridesmaid.
ELLEN: Aw. Eight months pregnant-- Look at the dress she picks for me. [SCOFFS] I hate that skinny bitch.
WILL: Maybe you oughta skip the guest book.
----

LEO: Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to really do my best to make Grace as happy as you have. Well, plus sex.
----

[LEO ENTERS, WITH HIS HANDS OVER HIS EYES.]
LEO: I'm not looking. Just wanted to make sure everything was okay in here. People are starting to place bets. Apparently, you've walked out on one of these before. I didn't know about that, but that's cool.
GRACE: Look, Leo--
LEO: Oh, God.
GRACE: No. No, we're getting married. Just--the thing is, Will and I need to take a little walk. So could you just stall them, just a little bit?
[GRACE AND WILL EXIT.]
LEO: Sure, sure, yeah. Just as long as you remember that you and I have to take a little walk as well. I'm a little bit nervous about that track record of yours. Ha ha. Ha ha. Heh. You're gone, aren't you?
----

GRACE: Will, I may be getting married today, but when I said I was going to spend the rest of my life with you, I wasn't wrong.
----

KAREN:Am I crying yet?
JACK: Still no.
KAREN: Now?
JACK: Nu-uh.
KAREN: How about now?
JACK: No.
KAREN: Stick a pin in my arm.
JACK: I am.
