| Hannah: The spirit who lives in the earth, in the sun and the moon, in all living things, has called each and every one of us together to witness the union of carly and jack. Some of us have loved this couple -- others have tested their love -- or done a little of both. But you're all here to bless this union. Carly, jack -- why are you getting married? | |

Jack's Vows |
Carly's Vows |
|
Well -- everyone here knows us. And everyone knows all about us -- the good, the bad, the beautiful. I love you, carly. That's the simple answer. Because you make my life make sense. You're the reason why I get up every day, and why i always try to do the right thing. 'Cause no matter how many times we have been tested -- and let me tell you, we have been tested -- it always comes back to what we found, here in montana. Life means something when we're together. And now that we're back where it all began -- so much richer, with all our friends and two wonderful kids and a chance to build a life together -- if you'll have me. |
See? You always fix everything, jack -- no matter how many mistakes i make. And some mistakes -- they turn out to be miracles in disguise. But you never know -- at least i don't. For all I know, I could've made just another doozy. No -- if katie hadn't found me, I would've missed my own wedding. And that would've been my biggest mistake. Because you're my compass, jack. You're my true north. When i look at you, I know exactly where to head -- home. To you and to parker and to sage. You accept who i am. And you love me, despite everything. And that's real love. That's the real thing. And I am honored and lucky and so happy to build a life with you. |

Blessings: Craig: Now, thank you, jack. Now, what you said before about obstacles -- I realize that i haven't been the only one. And yet, despite my efforts, and those of others who shall remain nameless, you have prevailed. Flying into the face of reason, nothing could stop you. Was it kismet or fate, dumb luck? Dumb, or just the fact that you're both too stubborn to know any better? Well, you have my blessing, jack and carly. And my respect for your tenacity in the face of insuperable odds. Rosanna: Kiss. Oh. Ah. There. All right. Well -- it's no secret that carly and I have had our share of difficulties. I've certainly seen my sister through some extraordinary times. I've seen her miserable, i've seen her stubborn, and i've seen her just as tenacious as my husband said she is. But I have never, ever seen her this happy. And that is what i wish for you. I truly do. You and jack -- I wish you both joy. Molly: I just want to say that i am really glad to be here. Not just here in montana, 'cuz, but in your heart. Because without you, my world's a really lonely place. And it's like you always say, none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. And you can either take those mistakes and stand on ceremony, or you can try to forgive. And that's you and jack. You have faith in people, in what love can do, and in forgiveness. And that is a blessing that you both give me and everybody, every day. And so i'm just here to remind myself of that, and to thank you both for your faith. Katie: I think I have something to say. You know what I think the most important thing is? The way people treat each other. And carly and jack -- they're friends. I've seen that again and again since I got here. When they talk to each other, they listen, and care so much about each other. They're safe, and you can feel it. They're on the same team, they're committed. That's exactly what counts. 'Cause you can love someone so much, but if they're not committed -- well, carly and jack just have what all of us want -- someone to love who loves us back. Parker: Food! Mike: Look, what you all have is love. And -- I've just been envious. You know, in all the past few months, the ups and downs, that's what it's always come back to. But I believe that for right or for wrong, it's always been about love. And I wish you the best.
