  Katie: The way you talk about her-- it's beautiful. I only hope somebody thinks of me that way someday. But Donna doesn't love you. She's just doing this to make Stephanie insane.
  Donna: Thank you for standing by me. It means a lot.
  Donna:  Whispers  this is the happiest day of my life.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Nick: Oh.  Mutters  Oh!  Laughs  rescued in the nick of time.
  Taylor: What?
  Nick: Come here, woman. Come, come, come, come, come. Come, come.  Whispers  God, you look good. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
  Taylor: What?
  Nick: This is what the love of a good woman is all about, right here. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
  Taylor: I feel like I'm going to get into trouble.
  Nick: Maybe you are in trouble.
  Taylor: Feeling a little feisty, are we?
  Nick: I don't know. Are we? Mmm. God, you look good. You feel good. You look good. You smell good.
  Taylor: Oh.
  Nick: You feel good. Mmm.
  Taylor: What do you think about "Jeremy"?
  Nick: I don't know. Who's Jeremy?
  Taylor: Mmm. I am talking about a name for the baby.
  Nick: Baby names? And boys, nonetheless? Ha! What do you know?
  Taylor: What, uh, what about "Jacqueline"? Would you like that? I like it.
  Nick: My mother's name? Well, I don't know, I mean, she'd probably like it, but wouldn't it be a little confusing for the kid? Two of 'em?
  Taylor: Okay, so no second additions...
  Nick: No.
  Taylor: No "The thirds," no--
  Nick: No, no, no, no. Just give the kid its own original name, okay? Yeah. Be happier and healthier.
  Taylor: Do you have any ideas?
  Nick: Well, I got ideas, but it ain't about kids' names right now. Mm-hmm.
  Taylor: I am in big trouble.
  Nick: Mmm. Oh, big, you are, you are.
   Telephone rings 
  Nick: Just ignore that. Meriah will get it.
   Ring 
  Nick: Come here. Come on.
  Taylor: No, I can't. I can't ignore that. That's really distracting. Just answer the phone.  Whispers  just answer the phone.
   Ring 
  Nick: Okay.  Whispering  you look good. You feel good. Good.  Ring 
  Nick: Yeah? He wants to talk now? Uh, yeah, go ahead. Put him through. I'm sorry.  Clears throat 
  Taylor: No.  Whispers  I'll be right back.
  Nick: Hey.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Minister: We are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the joining together of Donna Logan and Thorne Forrester in holy matrimony. We pray that their marriage will be a blessing to them, enriching their lives and fulfilling the promise of their love. If anyone present has reason why this union should not take place, speak now or forever hold your peace.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Taylor: So is your mother joining us for dinner? Because I'm starving.
  Nick: She's going to Thorne and Donna's wedding. Guess our invitation got lost in the mail.
  Taylor: Mm. Well, I don't really think its part of miss manners, to, uh, have to invite your boss to your wedding.
  Nick: Well, it would have been nice. Tell me, is the food as good as I hear it is at those Forrester weddings?
  Taylor: Well, I didn't really see Stephanie going all out on this one anyway.
  Nick: No, right. If it's not for the dressmaker, I'm sure Thorne will be getting the cream cheese sandwiches and the veggie tray.
  Taylor: Oh. What I mean, is, um, she couldn't have if she wanted to because the whole thing went down so fast.
  Nick:  Chuckles  you know, Donna-- with that blond hair and all that... stuff going on-- people underestimate her. Stephanie sure did.
  Taylor: No, she just doesn't like her because her last name is Logan.
  Nick: Well, that's the whole point.
  Taylor: The point of what?
  Nick: Donna is marrying Thorne so she can stick it to Stephanie.
  Taylor: What makes you think that?
  Nick: Because that's what Donna told my mother.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Minister: Since there are no objections, we will continue with the reading.
  Felicia: This is a reading about the nature of love. From 1 Corinthians. "Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
  Minister: Donna and Thorne, if it is your intention to share your lives, all your joys and sorrow, and everything the years may bring, with your promises, now bind yourselves together as husband and wife. Join hands. Donna, make your vow to Thorne.
  Donna:  Whispering  I've waited my whole life to say this to a man. I'm so happy that man is you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Taylor: Donna told your mother that she's only marrying Thorne because she wants to "stick it" to Stephanie?
  Nick: It's revenge, pure and simple revenge. When did your mother tell you about this?
  Nick: A while ago.
  Taylor: And you didn't say anything?
  Nick: To be honest, I really didn't think she'd go through with it.
  Taylor: Well, nick, they're getting married today. I'm--I'm telling you, if Thorne proposed to Donna, it's because he believes that she loves him, and if she doesn't...
  Nick: Well, let this be on her conscience, not yours. Every time that Thorne might get hurt, doesn't mean you have to jump and run to his rescue.
  Taylor: But, no, he will get hurt if this is true. I mean--I mean, Stephanie obviously wasn't able to stop the wedding, and I seriously doubt anybody from the Logan family will even try.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Donna: Thorne, I know this happened quicker than anyone expected, but when I think about how long we've known each other, how long we've been a part of each other's lives... our relationship has blossomed unexpectedly, but it's been growing and maturing for years and years.
  Katie's voice: Donna doesn't love you the way you think she does. The way you think she does.
  Minister: Thorne. Your vows. It's time to commit your life to Donna. .
    Rock music playing  
  Thorne: I have a million things going through my head right now. I had this whole speech prepared, but those words which I've been practicing all morning can't be--begin to describe what I'm feeling right now. I'm so overwhelmed.
  Thorne: Marriage is such a huge commitment. We're talking about the rest of our lives... my daughter's life. Aly loves you so much, Donna.
  Donna: And I love her, too. I love you, too, Thorne.
   Paper crumples 
  Thorne: I can't. I can't do this.
  Donna: Thorne, wait! Where are you going? Thorne!
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Taylor: This is wrong. This is just so wrong. Sweetheart, would you be upset if I just go over there and talk to Thorne? I just--I can only hope that the wedding hasn't happened yet.
  Nick: Go. Offer 'em free marriage counseling. Go on. Save the world.
  Taylor: I love you. Get us some takeout.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Clarke: What the hell just happened?
  Storm: Stephanie's wildest dream just came true.
  Katie: This doesn't have anything to do with Stephanie. It has to do with Thorne and Donna.
  Jackie: I'm sure they just need to talk, that's all. Sort some things out.
  Felicia: Okay, the caterer is serving drinks by the pool.
  Ashley: Well, that sounds good to me.
  Rick: Yeah, I could really use a drink right now.
  Stephanie: You know, maybe everyone should just go home.
  Bridget: Stephanie, no. No one knows what's going on right now.
  Stephanie: We all saw the expression on Thorne's face. He is not going to marry Donna today or any other day, thank God.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Thorne: How could I not have seen it? How? How could I have not seen it?  Knock on door 
  Donna: Thorne. Thorne, open up.  Grunts  what's wrong?
  Thorne: "What's wrong?" I think you know what's wrong.
  Donna:  Voice breaks  look, look, it--it-- it's just cold feet.
  Thorne: Yeah.
  Donna: That's all. It's not the end of the world. I mean, it happens. We'll just-- we'll just take a few minutes and relax and get back out there.
  Thorne: No, Donna, that's not it, and you know that is not it, you know it. I thought what we had, I thought what we shared-- I thought it meant something, Donna. I thought it meant something. I thought it was real.
  Donna: What are you saying? Of course, it's real. I-I-I-I said my vows. I-I made my commitment to you.
  Thorne: Why? Why, Donna? Why?
  Donna: What? Your mother got to you.
  Thorne: No. No, she didn't, but she tried. But I wouldn't listen.
  Donna: No, no, no, listen. Just--just stop. Stop, okay? Okay? Whatever you're thinking, I-I can explain, okay? Baby, baby, somebody's putting ideas in your head. Just--just tell me who it is. Tell me what they said.
  Donna: You? You went to Thorne?
  Katie: I gave you every chance to do the right thing, Donna.
  Donna: You stabbed me in the back. My own sister. Do you have any idea what you've done... to me? To Thorne and Aly?
  Thorne: Are you saying she's lying? Why would she do that, Donna?
  Donna: Jealousy.
  Katie: Oh, please. Don't try and spin this.
  Donna: No, I'm finally-- I'm finally happy, and--and you can't stand it.
  Katie: That's not true, and you know it.
  Donna: Well, why else would you do this?
  Katie: I thought Thorne had a right to know the truth.
  Donna:  Scoffs  you only got in town a few days ago, and--and--and suddenly, you're an expert on our lives? You know more about our relationship than my future husband.
  Katie: I know when I'm being lied to.
  Donna: I never lied to you, to either of you.
  Katie: I asked you if you loved Thorne. Do you remember what you said?
  Donna: I-I said the truth. I said that I would make Thorne and Aly happy, that I'll make him a good wife. I will, Thorne. Please, you just-- you just have to have a little faith.
  Katie: And Stephanie-- where does she fit in to all this?
  Donna: Nowhere. The minister asked if-- if there were any objections, and--and she didn't say anything... because she knew she didn't have to. You already said everything for her.
  Katie: No.
  Donna: They're working together, Thorne.
  Thorne: You know what? Stop it, okay? Stop trying to make Katie out to be the bad guy.
  Donna: No, no, but-- but she's ruining everything.
  Thorne: You mean your plan for revenge? I know all about it, Donna. You were using me to get back at my mother.
  Katie: I'm sorry, Donna. I-I really am. You would have regretted this marriage as much as anyone.
  Donna: No. No, no, baby. Baby, please, l-listen to me. I love you, okay? I love you.
  Thorne: No, you don't. You don't.
  Donna:  Sobbing  oh! Oh!
  Thorne:  Sighs 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jackie:  Sighs  I know you were supportive of this wedding, but if it doesn't happen, it--it won't be the worst thing.
  Taylor: Eric?
  Eric: Taylor?
  Taylor: Where's Thorne? Where's everybody?
  Jackie: The wedding didn't happen. Thorne couldn't go through with it.
  Taylor: Thank God.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Katie: I am so, so sorry.
  Thorne: You didn't say anything that I hadn't already been told. I... oh. My mother was right. She--she was right. I just can't believe it took this long to get it. I mean, the signs were there-- the constant... seduction, th--th-- the subtle manipulation. I-I... why couldn't I see it? Why couldn't I see it?
  Katie: You wanted to see the good things in Donna. That's something to be proud of.
  Thorne: I let my loneliness eclipse my judgment, is what it was.
  Katie: Well, Donna must have been pretty desperate to do what she did. I mean, I can't imagine any other reason. Maybe I'm making excuses for her. She is my sister.
  Thorne: You did the right thing, Katie, the courageous thing. I mean, you saved me from making a terrible mistake-- one that would've affected my whole family, especially my daughter. Thank you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Donna: Damn it. Damn it.
   Glass shatters 
  Donna: Damn it!
  Stephanie: Oh, my. All the weapons on display. They really let you down today, didn't they?
  Donna: Brooke always said you were threatened by sexuality. I guess she was right.
  Stephanie: Thorne had a good time, but finally, he came to his senses. I always knew he would.
  Donna: Oh, no, you didn't! You were gonna let us get married.
  Stephanie: Fortunately, your sister had other ideas, didn't she? So I guess that just proves that there is a decent Logan on the family tree.
  Donna: You think what she did was decent? She broke your son's heart.
  Stephanie: No, you broke my son's heart by lying to him. She just enabled him to see that.
  Donna: We could have been happy together. I could've made him happy.
  Stephanie:  Laughs  oh, right, keep thinking that while you pack your things and leave.
  Donna: This isn't over.
  Stephanie: Oh, yes, it is over, because he's seen the truth, and he sees you for what you are-- a conniving opportunist.
  Donna: Oh!
  Stephanie: Stop that! Stop that! You get the hell out of this property! You're the one that blew it, you understand me?! You blew it! And no one-- no one in this family's ever gonna be taken in by you again.
  Donna: I did not get my revenge on you today, Stephanie, but I promise you, someday, somehow, I will.
  Stephanie: Blah, blah, blah, blah.
  Donna:  Sobbing 
summary: At the altar, Thorne reminisces about what Katie just told him about Donna not really loving him. As the ceremony proceeds, Stephanie and Katie's eyes are gazing at him. Dare anyone say I object? Donna says her vows, but Thorne is in a trance and must be nudged when it's his turn. As he begins, he tells her how much he loves her and Ally loves her too, but he can't do this. Nick greets Taylor with a big kiss, in fact several big kisses and feels rescued from his work. He has big ideas, but not about kid's names right now. He shares his view that Donna is only marrying Thorne to stick it to Stephanie. Taylor feels perhaps she should crash this wedding to offer professional advice and rushes off. Donna chases after Thorne and tells him she understands; this is just cold feet. She cries and begs that whatever doubts he has, she can explain. The guests are flabbergasted, but settle for drinks by the pool.
