Chad and Sonny are confused by the texts
they receive; Paul looks concerned and Abigail seems frightened. The text is just a notice that, for some
reason, the priest just cancelled on them; Sonny looks at “Adrian” and says
they do have someone that can marry them, “you.” Bonnie looks shocked, pointing at herself. Sonny reminds her she became an “officiate”
online, when she did that Valentine’s Day story; she says oh yeah, but still
says she can’t…she just can’t do it, she tells them, saying, “it would be a big
mistake.” Justin comes in and reminds
them that he is also ordained. Gabi
tells Arianna she will be the most beautiful flower girl; she remembers telling
Chad that she knows he has always been in love with Abigail. Eli approaches and says, “hi.” He asks her if she is ready to go to the
church. They head out, leaving a rose
on the ground by the bench. A man,
who’s face is still not shown, walks by and picks up the rose.People begin
entering the church; Marlena and John sign the guest book… he tells them that
Sonny said not to worry about anything because he and Chad will work it
out. Many guests are already in the
pews; they sit down next to Nicole.
Brady says he is going to check on the ‘father’ to make sure
everythinng’s alright. Kate looks
around the church, hoping to see Lucas; she fears he is drunk somewhere and not
even aware of what day it is. Andre
tells her he is sorry Lucas fell off the wagon. Brady comes back in and asks Victor if he has seen Father Louie
anywhere; Victor says maybe he misplaced his bible. Julie shows Doug the Club she and Chloe bought; she tells him it
is his. He asks for the first dance,
and sings, “I Love You Truly” to her.
She kisses him.
Gabi walks
along, behind Arianna, as Arianna tosses rose pedals on the floor down the
isle. Sonny enters first, escorted by
Justin; “Adrian” squeezes into a pew next to Victor. Paul comes in next, escorted by John, then Chad with Kate and
Andre; they hug him and sit down. Abigail is ready to make her entrance; JJ and Jennifer walk behind her. Jen kisses them both and JJ shakes Chad’s
hand, giving his sister a wink. They all
turn to face Justin, Father Louie’s replacement… he begins by explaining the
Father’s absence, and admits that some of them there have had their
differences, but says he knows they can leave all feelings of ill will outside
the church. He asks if anyone has any
reason these two couples can’t be joined together, and the doors swing open;
everyone turns to see Doug and Julie walk in.
They apologize, noting trouble with the caterers; Justin moves on.
Brady is asked to say a few words on behalf
of Sonny and Paul; he speaks of love and how you should do anything and
everything you can to be with the one you love. Andre is asked to speak for Abigail and Chad; he talks about how
they have made his heart “not quite so dark’ and says the story of Chad and Abigail
will be one of beauty, poignancy, truth, and passion that is timeless. John and Marlena, and Doug and Julie, look
at each other and nod. He then wishes all of them, including Paul and Sonny,
happiness. Maggie gets up to speak; she
talks about tomorrows not being a guarantee and taking hold of the ‘moment’ –
she encourages them all to take one day at a time, each and every moment as an
opportunity to love each other better, making second chances count. All of the couples in the room look at each
other and smile; Gabi and Eli, last.
The two couples each take two candles, light one larger candle and blow
the two out… a symbol of two becoming one, I suppose.
Sonny and Paul say their vows; Paul eloquently says that he knew
what he wanted to do when he was four years old, but it was only after meeting
Sonny that he knew who he wanted to be.
Sonny tells Paul that he never thought he would love again, and he
helped him find his way back from a broken heart. Chad jokes that he can’t follow that up; Abigail offers to go
first. Just as she says how crazy life
is, annd how unpredictable, the chapel doors burst open… the undisclosed
‘patient’ (now all dressed in black) walks in and everyone gasps.
