Sonny
and Alexis had chosen to get married in a small chapel in Puerto
Rico with only a priest, Ric and Grace as witnesses. The chapel
had been lit up by small candles, which would be a symbol for the
many years this marriage would last. The chapel was also covered
in gardenias seeing as it was Alexis’ favourite flower.
Sonny had chosen to wear a very simple suit: a pair of black pants,
a white shirt, a black tie, and a black jacket – the exact
same suit that he’d worn the last time they’d been in
Puerto Rico.
Alexis had chosen to wear a very simple and sexy dress: a traditional
white off the shoulders dress that fit her like a hand in a glove.
It had a very long slit, which showed off her lovely legs together
with a pair of white sandals. She wore her hair up in a French twist
that Grace had helped her arrange. She wore an antic comb in the
twist, a diamond bracelet on her wrist, her engagement ring on her
ring finger, and her bridal bouquet of course consisted of gardenias
and the bouquet was gathered by a light blue piece of silk.
Ric: “You ready?” He asked, as he and Alexis were about
to walk down the aisle.
Alexis: “As ready as I’ll ever be!” She exclaimed,
as the traditional wedding march began playing, and Ric and Alexis
walked down the aisle towards Sonny and Grace.
When Ric and Alexis stood opposite Sonny – the two brothers
shook hands before Alexis placed her hands in Sonny’s letting
him know that she was more than ready to become his wife.
Sonny: “You look absolutely stunning…” He softly
replied, as he kissed Alexis on the cheek.
Alexis: “You don’t look so bad yourself…” She
replied smiling right before the priest began to speak.
The Priest: “We are gathered here today to join Michael and
Alexis in holy matrimony. If there are anyone here who knows just
cause why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony, then
let them speak now or forever hold their peace.”
Sonny: “Told you…” He replied smiling showing off
his dimples.
The Priest: “And now I understand that Michael and Alexis have
each written vows…So Michael? Go right ahead…” He
replied, as Sonny lifted Alexis’ hands up to his lips where
he placed a soft kiss on each hand before speaking from the depths
of his heart.
Sonny: “I’ve never before met someone that I wanted to
call my wife more than you Lex. You touch something inside of me
each time you enter a room. You make me look forward to tomorrow
where I would usually dread it. You make me wish for a happy future
knowing that it’s possible because we’ve got our own definitions
of miracles at home in Port Charles. You’ve even helped my
brother Ric and I to bond, and made Candy Boy seem more trustworthy
– and let’s face it: that takes a special kind of woman!
I want to promise you here today that I’ll make it my obligation
to make you smile everyday even if you’ve just had a lousy
day I’ll make it my job to see a smile on those beautiful lips.
I want to erase the past that hurt us, and make the future full
of happiness and joyfulness.”
The Priest: “Alexis…?”
Alexis: “If anyone even a year ago had told me that a year
later I’d be standing in a chapel in Puerto Rico marrying Sonny
Corinthos I wouldn’t have believed them. But you’ve made
me see the world differently Sonny – you’ve made me want
to see each day as a new set of opportunities, and I’m going
to do just that together with you, Kristina, Michael and Morgan.
I am sure that our life together will bring both tears and smiles
with it, but there’s no doubt in my mind that our love will
make it all worth it. I am today giving you my promise to love you,
and honor you for the rest of my life.” Grace wiped the tears
away from her cheeks upon having heard Sonny and Alexis’ declarations
of love.
The Priest: “Ric…Please come forward with the rings…”
Ric: “Sure!” He replied, as he stepped in between Sonny
and Alexis. Sonny took Alexis wedding band from Ric’s hand
before taking Alexis’ hand in his awaiting the priest’s
instructions.
The Priest: “Michael…Repeat after me: Take this ring as
a sign of my love and fidelity in the name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit.”
Sonny: “Take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity in
the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” He
replied, as he slid the wedding band onto Alexis’ ring finger
so that the engagement ring now had a partner.
The Priest: “Alexis…Repeat after me: Take this ring as
a sign of my love and fidelity in the name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit.”
Alexis: “Take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity in
the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” She
replied, as she also slid the ring onto Sonny’s ring finger.
The Priest: “Michael Corinthos Jr.? Do you take this woman
Alexis Davis to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold,
in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?”
Sonny: “I do!” He exclaimed looking deeply into Alexis’
eyes.
The Priest: “Alexis Davis? Do you take this man Michael Corinthos
Jr. to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in
sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?”
Alexis: “I do!”
The Priest: “Then it’s now with great pleasure that I
pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride!” He
exclaimed smiling happily, as Sonny took Alexis’ face in his
hands, and kissed her like there was no tomorrow.
Grace: “Congratulations you guys…” She replied when
Sonny and Alexis had separated themselves from each other. Ric gave
Alexis a kiss on the cheek, and shook hands with Sonny, as Grace
kissed both Sonny and Alexis on the cheek wishing them all the best
in the future.
Alexis: “It really meant a lot to us that you guys came to
see us get married!”
Ric: “Well, it meant a lot to be asked to participate too…”
Grace: “Will you excuse us for a minute?”
Sonny: “Yeah, sure…” He replied, as Grace and Alexis
walked a little away from Sonny and Ric to have a girl talk.
Grace: “You look so happy…”
Alexis: “Well, I am! For the first time in a really long time
I feel like I’m right where I belong. Just looking into Sonny’s
eyes right before made me see that we’re meant to be together,
and that nothing can tear us apart unless we allow it to.”
Grace: “Yeah, it’s very evident that you and Sonny love
each other…Which is also why I wanted to give you this…”
She replied, as she pulled out a velvet box.
Alexis: “Gracie? What is this?” She asked, as Grace placed
the box in Alexis’ hand.
Grace: “Only one way to find out!” She exclaimed, as she
looked on as Alexis opened the velvet box.
Alexis: “Oh my God Gracie – it’s beautiful!”
She exclaimed, as she noticed what Grace had given her. It was a
simple silver necklace with a pendant in the shape of a heart, which
consisted of diamonds.
Grace: “If I remember correctly that was the one Helena took
from you that had belonged to your Grandmother, and I came across
it during a vacation in Greece a few years back. And I knew that
I needed to buy it for you, and it gave me a good reason to look
you up.”
Alexis: “Thank you so much – I’ll treasure this for
the rest of my life…”
Grace: “All I’ve ever wanted for you has been your happiness,
and it’s pretty evident that Sonny brings you that! Be happy,
OK?” She replied hugging her friend tight.
Alexis: “I will – you too…” She replied hugging
her back.
Sonny: “What is this all about, huh?” He asked, as he
and Ric joined Alexis and Grace.
Alexis & Grace In Unison: “GIRL–TALK!” They replied
at the same time.
Ric: “Oh…Well if we’re supposed to catch the next
plane back to Port Charles we’d better get going?”
Grace: “Yeah, you’re right! Have a great honeymoon, OK?
And don’t worry about the kids between Jax, Ric and I they’ll
be in very good hands.”
Sonny: “Just don’t spoil them too much, OK?”
Ric: “You got it!” He exclaimed, as Ric and Grace hugged
Sonny and Alexis one more time before making their way to the airport.
Sonny: “I guess that just leaves the two of us, huh?”
He asked, as Ric and Grace had left the chapel.
Alexis: “You complaining?” She asked arching an eyebrow.
Sonny: “Never!” He exclaimed kissing Alexis on the lips.
Alexis: “You saw what Grace gave me? This is a duplicate of
a necklace that once belonged to my Grandmother – another item
Helena took away from me.” She replied showing Sonny the beautiful
necklace.
Sonny: “Helena can’t hurt you anymore – remember?
We’re looking out for each other from now on, and that’s
how it’ll stay forever!”
Alexis: “You’re right!” She exclaimed looking intensely
into Sonny’s eyes.
Sonny: “Let’s dance, huh?”
Alexis: “In a church?”
Sonny: “Why not?”
Alexis: “There’s no music?”
Sonny: “Think of our favorite song, and just follow our souls
and hearts…” He replied taking Alexis into his embrace,
as they followed each other’s steps to the magic voice of Shania
Twain singing ‘You’re Still The One’.
‘You’re Still The One’, performed by Shania Twain
(When I first saw you, I saw love.
And the first time you touched me,
I felt love. And after all this time,
you're still the one I love)
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
Bridge:
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
Chorus:
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
(Bridge)
(Chorus X 2)
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
(Shania Twain - Come On Over)
Sonny and Alexis danced the night away – knowing that as long
as they were together they could conquer all.
