Leo's Vows:
Piper, through all the tears and struggles I always knew in
my heart that we'd make it here. I promise to love you and respect you from
this point onward. As your husband, as my wife, my lover, my friend and my
soul mate. All I am is yours.
The Ceremony
Grams: We are gathered here today to unite two souls as one. Do you, Leo
Wyatt, and Piper Halliwell, join us here of your own free will to acknowledge
the eternal bond shared by both of you.
Leo: I do.
Piper: I do.
Grams: You may face each other, join hands. (They do so.) Uh, Leo, you
may recite your vows.
Leo: Piper, through all the tears and struggles, I always knew in my
heart that we'd make it here. I promise to love and respect you from this point
forward as your husband, as my wife, my lover, my friend, and my soul mate. All
I am is yours.
Grams: Piper...
Piper: Leo, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was
afraid that you were too good to be true, that maybe I didn't deserve someone so
pure and beautiful and loving as you are. But here we are surrounded by the
people that I love the most and I feel so proud, and so blessed to be your wife.
Leo, I was born to love you and I always will.
Grams: Here before witnesses, Leo and Piper have sworn their vows towards
each other. With this cord, I bind them to those vows.
(A rope is loosely tied around their hand.)
Piper, Leo: Heart to thee, body to thee, always and forever, so mote it
be.
Grams: So mote it be.
All: So mote it be.
(The clock strikes twelve.)
Grams: Kiss her fast.

[Cut to Piper's
room. Piper is in her wedding dress. She puts on her earrings and looks in the
mirror. Patty appears behind her.]
Patty: Oh, you're so beautiful.
Piper: Mum?
Patty: Don't be afraid.
(Piper turns around.)
Piper: Oh my god. But... it can't be 'cause, um, ghosts, ghosts glow.
You're not glowing.
Patty: I'm not a ghost. Well, not today. Today I am simply your mother.
Piper: But, uh, how?
Patty: After all the Elders put you and Leo through, they wanted to give
you something back, so, so they sent me down, just for your wedding day. You
know, I think I wore my hair like this for my wedding day.
Piper: You did. Uh, I kept your wedding album after you died and...
(Patty licks her finger and pushes a piece of Piper's hair in place.) And I
looked at the pictures every night like a bedtime story.
Patty: I always thought you'd be the first to get married. You're the
heart of this family, Piper.
(Piper touches Patty's hand.)
Piper: I'm not dreaming am I?
Patty: No, sweetie, you're not.
Piper: Mum.
(They hug. Prue and Phoebe walk in.)
Phoebe: Mum.
Piper: It's true. She's real. They sent her to us for today.
(Patty goes to Prue.)
Patty: Oh, Prue. It's been so hard on you, unfair.
Prue: Yeah... no, it doesn't matter. I just wanted to make you proud.
Patty: You protected this family better than I could. I'm so proud of
you.
Prue: Thank you. (They hug.)
Patty: (to Phoebe) And you, my baby, you feel it all, don't you? I
was never there to comfort you. I died before you even knew me.
Phoebe: Some nights I just wanted you to hold me.
Patty: Your road's been the longest, Phoebe. But I was never worried
about you. You know why? Because I had a premonition the day you were born.
Phoebe: You did?
Piper: What did you see?
Patty: Oh, I saw this. I saw this moment right now, my three daughters
standing before me as beautiful young women and I knew that everything would be
okay.
Phoebe: What did you see next?
Patty: I held you.
(They all hug.)

Quotes
Piper: It is bad luck to see the bride's dress before the wedding.
Leo: But you're not even wearing the dress.
Piper: The same rule applies to the bride's... curlers. Go away.
Phoebe: Huh, wow, so you're relinquishing control to
your little sister. You must really be tired.
Piper: Hold it right there. What's wrong?
Phoebe: Boy bands. There's just too many of them, don't you think?
Prue: Yeah, I mean, look, I told you, you have nothing
to worry about today, alright? It's going to be a demon-free day. (Cole
shimmers in and scares Piper.) Hey!
Cole: Sorry I'm late.
Piper: (to Prue) You were saying?
Phoebe: Piper, you have to stay positive. You know
what? I have Celine Dion 'Behind The Music' on video cassette. Would you like
to watch that?
Piper: Would you like to get slapped?
Leo: I love her with all my heart, and I promise
to keep loving her and taking care of her for the rest of this life, the
afterlife and whatever comes after that. Now you may not support it and you
may not agree with it but it is not gonna stop me from marrying your daughter
today. Nothing will.
Victor: You know... I could probably get used to having
a Whitelighter for a son-in-law.
(Victor ties Leo's bow tie. Cole comes down the stairs.)
Cole: Everybody having fun down here?
Leo: (to Victor) How do you stand on demons?
Victor: Patty.
Patty: Hello, Victor, how are you?
Victor: Good. I mean, I was good. Alright, who brought my ex-wife back
from the dead?
Grams: Not now, Victor. I know you two have issues but that's what the
reception is for.
Phoebe: Prue, you get your astral ass back here!
