>> Katie: Simon?
>> Simon: Katie, this can't be happening.
>> Katie: It's snowing. It's actually snowing. My miracle. It's all coming true.
>> Simon: Snow and lambs in the church, just like dreamed when you were a little girl.
>> Katie: I bet even you have never seen a real, live miracle like this before.
>> Reverend: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the explanation is a bit more earthbound. We're having work done on our roof, and I suspect the tarp has blown off.
>> Katie: Well, that doesn't matter. I have my animals and my snow, just like I've always dreamed. Now, I guess all we need are some guests.
>> Margo: Hi. I'm not too late, am I?
>> Katie: No! No. Oh, thank you so much for coming. I knew you wouldn't disappoint I knew it.
>> Margo: Ah, but did you know that I'm not the only "me"? [ Margo opens the door to the vestibule ] It hasn't started yet. Come on.
>> Katie: Oh, my gosh. You came -- all of you. You all came to my wedding. Lily, I'm so glad that you could be here.
>> Lily: Congratulations. Holden couldn't make it. I'm sorry, but he sends his best.
>> Katie: Thanks. Well, it looks like he sent a good representative in his place. I have something to show you.
[ Katie takes Luke to see the lambs ]
>> Simon: Thank you so much. Tom, thank you. Thank you.
>> Tom: It's a pleasure. I wouldn't have missed it.
>> Simon: Thank you all for coming.
>> Lisa: Nothing I like better than a beautiful wedding.
>> Tom: Yes, so we noticed, mom.
>> Simon: Thanks. Thank you.
>> Nancy: I've been to several weddings, but this is the first that has offered such interesting sounds. [ Lamb baas ] Are those sheep real?
>> Katie: They're lambs, actually, and they're part of my miracle, just like the snow and all of you.
>> Margo: Well, Katie, I don't know if we're a miracle. I mean, I just put out the call that you and Simon were renewing your vows, and I had a lot of takers.
>> Katie: Well I'm so glad you did, 'cause for a while there, I thought -- thank you all for being here so much. [ to Simon ] And thank you.
>> Simon: Me? Hey, I had nothing else better to do today.
>> Katie: This is perfect. Well, I guess we get to have a real wedding like normal people.
>> Margo: Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't know the half of it.
>> Simon: What is this about? This should be good.
>> Margo: [ Margo, Lily and Bonnie takes off the overcoats to reveal matching bridesmaids dresses ] Meet your bridesmaids.
>> Katie: Oh, my gosh. You look beautiful. Well, as long as we're going that extra mile, maybe I can have a Maid of Honor? Any takers?
>> Lily: Why don't you just pick?
>> Katie: Okay. Eeney, meany, miney, moe.
>> Bonnie: Oh, what are you doing?
>> Katie: Well, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
>> Lily: Margo's your sister, so maybe that would be the most appropriate choice.
>> Katie: Well, that's what I would like, if you would like?
>> Margo: I'd be honored.
>> Katie: Oh, thank you so much.
>> Reverend: Ladies and gentlemen, the livestock are getting restless.
>> Simon: Ah, yes. Thank you for your patience, Reverend. Let's get the show under way.
>> Katie: Wait!
>> Simon: What? What now? What?
>> Katie: We need a best man for you.
>> Simon: It's not important.
>> Tom: It is important. And since I'm already your brother-in-law, wouldn't I be first in line?
>> Isaac: Hey, it's hard to argue with a lawyer.
>> Tom: Very bright man.
>> Simon: Tom, I would be honored. Thank you.
>> Tom: You're welcome.
>> Reverend: People, the time has come. Here. Yes, very good. We're making progress. Ladies and gentlemen --
>> Katie: Wait.
>> Reverend: Now what?
>> Katie: I don't have anyone to give me away.
>> Craig: [ walks in the back of the church holding Snickers ] Oh yes you do.

Scene 2:
Location: Church in Luther's Corner

CRAIG MONTGOMERY, KATIE FRASIER, SIMON FRASIER, LISA GRIMALDI, NANCY MCCLOSKY REVEREND

>> Craig: I couldn't miss this, oh sister of little faith.
>> Katie: Cutting it kind of close, Craig.
>> Craig: I missed your first wedding to Simon. I couldn't miss the rerun, could I?
>> Katie: Why did you bring Snickers?
>> Craig: I thought you might want to have him. I think he kind of looks good with my tuxedo, doesn't he?
>> Katie: Oh, yeah. Nice touch with the bow. Hi, Snickers I'm so glad you're here.
>> Craig: Me, too.
>> Reverend: Excuse me. Are you -- it's probably safer if I don't ask.
>> Katie: He's my brother, and he's going to be giving me away.
>> Craig: Unless we get a cash offer.
>> Simon: Craig?
>> Craig: Yeah?
>> Simon: Snickers, let's get on with this.
>> Katie: Come on. We're ready. Right?
>> Simon: Never been more ready in my life.
>> Reverend: That makes three of us.
>> Lisa: Let's get on with it. Well, I'm freezing.
>> Nancy: Me, too.
>> Reverend: Very well. I promise you, I will be brief. Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered together in this chilly house of God to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Who gives this woman to this man in marriage?
>> Craig: I do.
>> Reverend: The bride and the groom have decided to write their own vows, which they will signify to each other at this time. Simon?
>> Simon: Katie, you are a treasure above all treasures and I promise I will always, always treat you that way -- with love, kindness, compassion and understanding. Especially because there's a lot I don't understand. [ Laughter ] With you, life is always an adventure, and I cannot wait to spend every single second with you. By virtue of being you, you have changed my life and set me free. I love you with all my heart, and I'm proud that you are my wife.
[ Katie kisses Simon ]
>> Reverend: Katie, that part comes later.
>> Katie: Sorry.
[ Laughter ]
>> Reverend: Would you like to say your vows now?
>> Katie: Yes, I would. Actually, I wrote a poem. Not a very good poem. I kind of messed up sometimes with the rhyming, and not all the words fit. Sometimes, I had problems fitting --
>> Reverend: Nonetheless, nonetheless, we are all anxious to hear it -- very, very anxious.
>> Katie: Okay. Here it goes. "Dear Simon, today is the day we get married for real. No one can imagine the way that I feel. It started in a car, though it stood very still. A magical night, a wonderful thrill. And then, we got married kind of quick -- one, two, three. You wanted your green card, and I wished you'd want me. You weren't always nice, but I wasn't discouraged. We still found some fun, and my love was encouraged. I searched for your diamond, got plane wrecked instead. Then I missed you so much, nearly wished I was dead. Then you came to my rescue over the sea. On the way home, you said you loved me. We've been through a lot, things both funny and sad. But when we're together, things never were bad. It's such a great feeling to be sharing your life. So I'll sign off with from Katie, your wife." And you take my breath away . You take my breath away okay, I have a couple of other things to say, but they don't rhyme. I was a child when I dreamed about what my wedding day would be like, and when we married the first time, I was a child, but I've grown up. I guess what happens when you love someone more than you love yourself and I do. I love you with my whole heart, Simon, and I know that you are the reason behind every good thing that will ever happen in my life.
>> Reverend: I don't believe there's anything left for me to say. So by the power vested in me by the State of Illinois, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Simon, you may kiss the bride.
>> Simon: It's about time.

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, LISA GRIMALDI, MARGO HUGHES, TOM HUGHES, CRAIG MONTGOMERY, NANCY MCCLOSKY

>> Nancy: Now Katie, remember, if you two ever want to borrow my car --
>> Katie: Oh, thank you so much.
>> Simon: Thank you, thank you. Thanks for coming.
>> Lisa: I wish you all the happiness in the world.
>> Katie: Oh, thank you, Lisa.
>> Lisa: Oh, yes. Beautiful.
>> Katie: Margo. Oh, how am I ever going to repay you for everything you did for me today?
>> Margo: Are you guys busy this weekend?
>> Simon: No.
>> Katie: No.
>> Margo: Want to baby-sit Daniel?
>> Tom: Good one.
>> Simon: Okay.
>> Katie: Okay.
>> Simon: Tom, thank you so much once again for standing up for me.
>> Tom: I'm only going to do it once.
>> Simon: Well, that's all I'm going to need.
>> Tom: Congratulations.
>> Katie: Thank you so much for being here.
>> Tom: See you.
>> Katie: I love you.
>> Craig: If you hurt her, I'm going to rip off your arm and beat you around the head with it.
>> Simon: Yeah? That's what I was going to do to you if you didn't show up. Thanks, man.
>> Craig: It was a beautiful day, Katie, and you were the most beautiful part of it.
>> Katie: Thanks. You like my dress? Carly gave it to me.
>> Craig: She did?
>> Katie: It was supposed to be for her wedding to Jack a long time ago. So how are things going with you two?
>> Craig: Oh, they're not. She's going to Paris without me. In fact, I think she's on her way to catch a plane to New York as we speak.
>> Katie: So what are you doing here still? Go to the airport, get a ticket, follow her.
>> Craig: It's not that simple, Katie.
>> Katie: Yes, it is. It can be. Listen, if I had never followed Simon to Malta, I don't think we'd be here row. What do you think?
>> Simon: That's right sometimes the extra insanity makes all the difference.
>> Craig: Well, I'll think about the insanity, but when you come in, knock on my door. We'll toast to your happiness.
>> Katie: Thanks for everything, Craig.
>> Craig: Yeah. Come on, Snickers. I've got a special carrot for you.
>> Katie: Oh, my. How about this day? One surprise after the other?
>> Simon: I have a feeling that is what life is going to be like with you, Katie -- surprising, amazing and fun -- lots and lots of fun.
>> Katie: Just like you, husband.
>> Simon: Oh, and you, my very dear wife.
>> Katie: Guess what I wanna do right now.
>> Simon: I don't know about that. This is still a church.
>> Katie: I know. It will be exciting.
>> Simon: Exciting, yes. It'll be that, all right. But let's just wait until we get home.
>> Katie: No, we just got married here. We can do it here.
>> Simon: What if someone walks in?
>> Katie: I don't care. They can watch if they want.
>> Simon: "Watch"? "Watch," you really have come a long way, haven't you?
>> Katie: Why are you being so weird about this?
>> Simon: "Weird"?
>> Katie: Come on. We can do it right here in this pew.
>> Simon: No, listen to me. The last thing I wanna do is let you down on your wedding day, okay? There is no way that I am gonna make love to you here, in this pew, in front of --
>> Katie: What?! Make love? In a church? What do you think I am?
>> Simon: What are you talking about?
>> Katie: Opening presents. Aren't you just dying of curiosity?
>> Simon: Yeah. Yeah, I can't wait another minute. Here, you go first.
>> Katie: You mean it?
>> Simon: Yes.
>> Katie: Hmm, you really are the best husband in the world.
>> Simon: I know.
