HIZZONER: Today is a day of joyous celebration. With love in our hearts we are here to witness the exchange of marriage vows of Lucas Lorenzo Spencer and Laura Webber Baldwin. But we are doing more than that. We are celebrating life itself. The two young people before us through their love for one another remind us what it is that makes life precious to all of us: love, loyalty, courage. Together, in the face of extreme danger to themselves they overcame powerful forces that sought to destroy Port Charles and its people and the entire world. We call Luke and Laura heros [sic]--that they are indeed. But more importantly, they are the children of our whole community--we love them, we care about them, we admire and respect them. And I know I am speaking for every one of you when I say, Luke and Laura, it is with great admiration and affection that we share with you today the joy of this your wedding.

Dear friends, we have gathered together in the sight of God to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Among all men it is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but reverently, soberly and in full knowledge of one another. Into this loving estate these two persons present come now to be joined. I require and charge you both that if either one knows any impediment why you may not be lawfully joined together in matrimony, now so say. For no marriage can be considered truly lawful if it is not entered into in full disclosure and with open heart. And if there be any present who can show just cause why these two may not be joined together let him now speak or hereafter forever hold his peace.

Lucas Lorenzo Spencer, will you take Laura Webber Baldwin to be your lawful wedded wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, cleave only unto her, so long as you both shall live?

LUKE: I will.

HIZZONER: Laura Webber Baldwin, will you take Lucas Lorenzo Spencer to be your lawful wedded husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, cleave only unto him, so long as you both shall live?

LAURA: I will.

HIZZONER: The ring, please. Take Laura's hand. Repeat after me...

LUKE: I Lucas Lorenzo Spencer take Laura Webber Baldwin to be my lawful wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.

HIZZONER: And thereto...

LUKE: And thereto, unto thee, I pledge my troth.

HIZZONER: Now Laura, please repeat after me: I, Laura Webber Baldwin...

LAURA: I, Laura, Webber Baldwin, take thee, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer, to be my lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day for ward, for better, for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. And thereto, unto thee, I pledge my troth.

HIZZONER: For as much as Luke and Laura have consented together in holy wedlock and have witnessed the same before God and this company and thereto have given and pledged their troth each to the other and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring, and by joining hands, by the power invested in me by the authority of the state of New York, I pronounce that they are husband and wife.
