2003 Wedding

MINISTER: Please, join hands and bow your heads. I'd like to start with a short prayer. Holy Father, bless this couple -- fill their hearts with your goodness and grace -- give them the courage and strength they will need in their future together. Let their love fortify them in lean times and in prosperity. In celebration and sadness. Through all the years of their new life as husband and wife.

Brooke and Ridge, these gold bands symbolize the bond between husband and wife. A sacred commitment -- made with honest intention before God. As you place these rings on each other's fingers, you will make your pledge. Speak from your heart and let your words be a solemn and everlasting promise to one another. Ridge.

RIDGE: I really don't know what I could say that I haven't already said. You know how much I love you, Logan. How devoted I am to you -- and to our family. All my hopes for our future, they're the same as yours. Finally, we're at a place where I don't have to tell you everything that's in my heart -- I can show you. We don't have to imagine what our life will be like -- we can live it. Not tomorrow. Not someday when things get simpler, easier or less complicated. Right now. Starting this moment. Now and forever we'll be partners in every sense of the word. Sharing every challenge and every triumph. They'll be ours to overcome or celebrate. I want you to wear this ring to always remind you -- we're in this together.

MINISTER: You may put this ring on Ridge's finger.

BROOKE: Last time we were standing in front of a minister -- I wasn't sure what to say. I wasn't sure how I felt. I didn't know how you felt about me. I needed proof and you gave it to me. I needed time, a chance to make up my mind. You gave it to me. and now, because of your patience and determination, I can give this to you. No reservations, no insecurities or doubts. With this ring, I give you all of my heart. My love. My confidence -- in you and everything we can be together. This ring is a symbol of my faith in you and my belief in our commitment to each other.

MINISTER: Now that you have made your vows to each other -- do you each swear before God to remain faithful, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health -- for as long as you both shall live?

RIDGE: I do.

BROOKE: I do.

MINISTER: Then let no one divide what God has joined. Ridge. Brooke. It is my privilege and great pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife. I hope you'll have a long and happy life together.

RIDGE: You can count on it, Padre.
