St. Timothy's

Courtney: Will this wedding be as hard for you as it will be for me?

Courtney: You know, I almost left without letting you know i was here. I feel like such an idiot.

Sonny: Why?

Courtney: What am I even doing here, sonny? I mean, come on, jason and I are over, and I'm the one who's supposed to be ok with it, especially since it was my brilliant idea.

Sonny: You're not?

Courtney: Oh, I don't know. Even though it's selfish, I know it is, it just helped knowing that he was missing me and that our hearts were still connected, even though we couldn't make it work. But now, i mean, everything's changed, you know? I mean, jason is getting married and he's going to build a life with someone else.

Sonny: Courtney, I know how devastating this must be for you, right? But even during our worst moments, i never ever intended to break your heart.

Courtney: I know. I mean, you've been pretty amazing.

Sonny: No --

courtney: Yeah.

Sonny: I have not, not really.

Courtney: Come on, sonny, i mean, i have never seen you show such a level of forgiveness, accepting that sam was unfaithful to you with jason and not seeing it as a betrayal jason couldn't come back from.

Sonny: Don't give me too much credit. I'm just trying to get through this, you know, day to day, just like you.

Courtney: Do you think they're doing the right thing?

Sonny: Who am i to judge? I mean, you know, yeah, jason and sam are doing what they think is best, and that's all any of us can do.

Courtney's office

Carly: Oh, that is such a great outfit. It's a really great suit. Have i ever told you that? It's sexy. It's understated. It's great for just about any occasion.

Courtney: Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, the only occasion on my calendar today is a budget meeting with my attorney.

Carly: Ok, well, you need to reschedule that, because you can have a budget meeting anytime. You have once chance and once chance only to stop this farce of a wedding between jason and sam.

Courtney: Carly, we have already been over this. Ok? Jason is doing what he thinks is best for his child. I won't stand in his way.

Carly: Well, if you aren't going to stop this madness, I will. And it's fine, because you know that i am more than capable of doing it. But if i do it, it's guaranteed to get messy.

Courtney: Why don't you just drop it? Jason's not your husband.

Carly: No, he's not. But he is everything else to me. He is my oldest and dearest friend. He is the brother that i never had. He accepts me. He doesn't judge me. Hardly ever. Listen, the point is i'm not going to let him marry sam.

Courtney: Well, it's not your call to make.

Carly: Well, I'm making it. Courtney, you are the only woman that i have ever felt worthy of jason, and you are still in love with him. So save him, for god's sake, for jason, for me, for yourself, because if you let jason get married, you are going to regret it for the rest of your life.

St. Timothy's

Emily: You look very handsome.

Jason: Well, I can't take your word. You're biased.

Emily: Not a bit. Here. Thanks to nikolas, you're the most handsome man I know. All right. You ready to do this?

Jason: Are you going to tell me all the reasons why i shouldn't?

Emily: You know, it's crazy how you always want more. It's not enough that nikolas is alive. I want him to remember. It's not enough that you're going to be a father. I want you to love and be loved as a husband, too.

Jason: One out of two. Not bad odds.

Emily: Is it enough?

Jason: I've thought about this, and I -- you know, I believe getting married is the right thing to do.

Emily: Even when it's not about love?

Emily: You didn't answer my question earlier.

Jason: I -- i think i'm good at two things. My job and being a father, ok? And you know what, emily? I've missed that since michael went to carly and sonny. I'm actually looking forward to this baby.

Edward: Hello, you two.

Emily: What in the world is grandfather doing here?

Jason: Nothing good.

Emily: Ok, I'm going to go check on the bride.

Jason: All right.

Justus: Jason, congratulations. You ready?

Jason: Yeah.

Justus: All right.

Jason: Thanks.

Sonny: Is carly here?

Jason: No, not yet. Maybe she decided to skip it.

Sonny: I don't think so. You having second thoughts?

Jason: Not at all.

Sonny: Listen, even though i'm not comfortable with this whole thing, i appreciate -- I appreciate you doing this for me. I know everything you've put, you know -- you've put so much on the line, and this isn't the woman you planned to marry or the life you planned to have. I'm the one that made the promises, you know, and you're doing everything you can to make sure i keep those promises.

Jason: Yeah, but I made promises, too, to michael when he was a baby. Before he even had a name, sonny, i promised him that he would have a good life, that he would be happy and loved. And I can't keep those promises myself. You're going to have to do that for me. You're michael's father, and I know that you have never failed him, so please don't now.

Carly: Hey.

Sonny: Hey.

Carly: You know, you know what just hit me? How much has really changed since your last wedding day and you were marrying someone you actually loved.

Sonny: He's just doing what he thinks he should be doing.

Carly: Yeah, we'll see.

Emily: Hey. Your bride is ready.

Jason: All right. I guess this is it, then, huh?

Emily: Yeah. I love you so much, jase. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Jax: Well, this is some happy day.

Emily: What are you doing here?

Jax: Someone has to give the bride away.

Emily: Sam, it's time.

Sam: Hi. I am so nervous I'm shaking. Why am i so nervous right now?

Emily: Yeah, all brides are. Occupational hazard. Hey, look, sam, I don't want you to be blindsided, all right? Jax just went inside.

Sam: Yeah, of course he would be here. Why miss the joke of the century, right?

Emily: Take a deep breath, stay focused on jason. He's the calmest person who ever lived.

Sam: I know. I know he is. It drives me crazy. Oh, my gosh. You know, I couldn't stand the guy, and now i'm about to marry him.

["Wedding march" plays]

minister: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of god and this company to join this man and woman in holy matrimony. If there are any here present who can show just cause why they should not be wed --

justus: Sit down.

Minister: Let them speak now or forever hold their peace. Therefore, having come together freely and without reservation --

carly: Jason can't marry sam. He's already married to his real wife. Don't you love commercialswhere everyone shouts a lot?

Sonny: Carly, carly, don't do this.

Carly: Jason's divorce from courtney isn't finalized. There was a problem with the paperwork. Isn't that right, edward?

Sonny: Ok. I mean, I'm sorry. You know what? The problem she's talking about has been handled.

Carly: What?

Minister: If there's any question about the legality of this union, then --

justus: There isn'T. I have written confirmation from judge hernandez that jason's divorce is final. He's free to marry. I also have executed paperwork here if you'd like to see it.

Minister: That won't be necessary. Now that we've addressed your concerns, we can continue with the ceremony. Therefore, having come here freely and without --

carly: No, no, no, no! You know what? I object! This whole ceremony, it's a sham, and if you perform the ceremony, you're a hypocrite.

Jason: Carly, that's enough!

Carly: No, it's not even enough! Sam is a liar, she's a user, and I'm not going to sit back and watch you throw your life away, jason!

Jason: Excuse me. I need to handle this.

Minister: I would think so.

Jason: Everything's going to work out, i promise.

Carly: I --

jason: Carly --

carly: No, no, don't -- don't -- don't stop here. Come on, let's keep walking. I'm getting you out of here, and you are going to thank me for it one day.

Carly: I happen to love you enough to save you from your stupid, noble self! I cannot sit here and watch you throw your life away!

Jason: Now, listen, go home so you don't have to watch it! I want you to stay out of my life for once and let me live how i want!

Jax: Hey, sonny? Just wondering. I'm curious, does it ever bother you that jason and carly are so close?

Sonny: I don't have time right now, ok? Does it bother you that you're not invited? Go ahead and leave.

Jax: If you insist.

Sonny: Yeah. The door's right there, jax.

Carly: All the hell we've been through together, all the times that we have taken care of each other -- it has got to count for something, jason. Please, if you have ever trusted me in my life, trust me right now. Do not marry this woman.

Jason: Carly, i get that you're trying to help, but you're wrong. Sam is not trapping me. I want this.

Carly: How can you? How? You don't love her. She's not going to make you happy, jason. She's not going to stand by your side. She is not going to be loyal to you. She is just going to use that baby and she's going to work you for everything until something better just comes along.

Jason: Sam and the baby need me, and maybe I need them, too. You know what? Remember our first bet? 20 bucks. I'm going to bet you 2o bucks that this all works out.

Carly: I can't take your bet, jason. It's no contest. You don't have a prayer in the world.
