Nash cleaned up the mess from the bachelor party. He had a flashback to kissing Tess and tossed a beer bottle at the wall. "How can I let this wedding happen?" he asked himself. Natalie came by and said she was there to make sure Nash doesn't do anything to ruin her wedding day. Vincent came by as she was leaving. Nash gave Vincent a check for the money he borrowed, plus interest. Vincent asked where Nash got the money, but Nash told him not to worry about it. Natalie ridiculed Vincent for being a shady loan shark. Vincent countered that she should think more of him now that he's confessed to setting up Cristian. When Natalie refused to cut him any slack, he told her it was a mistake for him to ever have listened to anything she had to say to him.
Once alone, Nash saw a vision of Tess sitting on the floor wearing black leather thigh-highs. She told him he was giving up too easy.

"Go to the wedding and stop it and give us a fighting chance," the vision told him before vanishing.
Clint dropped by Llanfair as Jessica was getting ready for the wedding. Jessica told her father that she isn't sure Antonio knows what he's getting into marrying her because she's not "low-maintenance." Clint replied that Antonio has stuck it out this far so he must know how lucky he is to have her. Later, Viki talked to Jessica about Tess. She told Jessica that she's integrated and needn't worry. Jessica pointed out how Niki spoiled one of her weddings, but Viki said she was not integrated on the day Niki came out and ruined her nups to Joe. Natalie and Adriana came in. Viki gave Jessica antique earrings as something old. Adriana pointed out that Jessica's dress was the something new, and then handed her a blue garter. Adriana said she made it herself and that she's thinking about making lingerie. Natalie gave Jessica a pearl hair clip that she said John gave to her as the something borrowed. Jessica put on her dress, but then removed the veil and the lace covering her cleavage. "That looks better," she said. Although the difference was extremely subtle, Natalie responded, "You look exactly like Tess." Jessica objected to the comparison, but Natalie pointed out that if she and Adriana saw the similarity, Nash would also see it.
Kevin gave Kelly a photo of Duke so Zane could have a photo of his father to inspire him. Dorian came by the hospital to see how Zane and Kelly were doing. Kelly said she's fine and that they're waiting to see how Zane does. Kevin excused himself and went to the wedding. Dorian said to Kelly that it seems she and Kevin are getting along well. Kelly said yes, that Kevin has been great in being there for her and Zane.
Kevin came by Llanfair and talked to Clint about Kelly. He said that there's too much going on in Llanview for he and Kelly to really make another go of things. Clint suggested they go to London for a fresh start. Viki walked in and Kevin and Clint told her about the plan. Viki said she's glad to see Kevin and Kelly happy even though she'd miss them if they move. Dorian barged in and said she was there for the wedding. Viki told Dorian she wasn't invited. Dorian retorted that she was there on behalf of Kelly, who was invited, but then Kelly walked in. Viki said Dorian could stay, and Clint added that it'd be no stranger than Antonio asking Nash to be there. Dorian walked into the church and sat down. Adriana saw her mother and shared a few terse words with her. She ran back to Rex, who told her to just let it go.
Cristian talked to Antonio about how nice it was that Antonio was finally marrying Jessica. Antonio told Cris that if Nash screws up his wedding that he'll "kill him in front of everyone right then and there." Nash arrived at the church and said hi to Antonio, but then got flustered a bit and ran out. Meanwhile, back at Llanfair, Jessica slapped some bright red lipstick on and instructed Natalie to go ahead to the church so she could have a minute for herself. After Natalie left, Nash walked in.
A nurse read an article about the wedding to "Hugh". When she got to the bridesmaids' names, the patient got worked up at the mention of Natalie's name. "Natalie... Natalie," he grunted. Later, Vincent came by to talk to "Hugh." He explained how he confessed to setting up Cristian because Natalie got under his skin. "Eventually, she's got to move on," he said. "Hugh" got riled again. "No!" he grunted. The nurse came in to check on "Hugh." Vincent was surprised when she mentioned the patient's "nice blue eyes."
Vincent was upset that the doctor wouldn't believe him about Hugh having brown eyes, not blue like the nurse said. He began yelling about how he went to college with the guy and knew darn well the color of his eyes (how many street thug criminals went to college???). The doctor told him to calm down or leave, but Vincent would not be denied. "You trying to tell me that a car accident is changing the color of a man's eyes?" Vincent asked. The doctor seemed uninterested in Vincent's point and said they need to let "Hugh" rest.
Antonio noticed that neither Jessica nor Nash were at the church yet. Cristian asked Antonio how his nerves were. Antonio said he was a little nervous. Cristian told Antonio that he and Jessica already got through the hard part and now have only happiness before them.
Back at Llanfair, Nash asked Jessica not to marry Antonio. He told her that even though she is integrated, she is now a new person with a new heart and that she isn't ready to get married yet. He began yelling about how Antonio doesn't love the beautiful, exciting part of her that is Tess. "You're integrated," he said, "which means you're a new person, and until you and Antonio understand that, this wedding is doomed to fail before you even get to the altar." Jessica refused to rethink anything. Nash said he can't promise he'll keep his mouth shut when the clergyman asks if anyone objects to the marriage. Jessica walked up to Nash and went in like she was going to kiss him. Nash got all into it, but then Jessica just whispered, "Go to hell." Nash shrugged and said, "That's exactly what Tess would say," and then left.
Claudia sat at the bar drinking with Blair. She commented on how they were the only two people in town not at the wedding. Blair said she wasn't going because Todd didn't want her to. After they were both good and sauced, Blair suggested they go crash the wedding. Claudia liked the idea. Claudia and Blair got to the wedding and realized that Jessica wasn't at the church yet. Claudia barged into Antonio's dressing room and asked where Nash was. Antonio noticed she was drunk and pointed out that she's blown a year of sobriety. Claudia dismissed the comment and asked Antonio if he's worried that Jessica and Nash were not there yet. He said he was not.
A drunken Blair stumbled around the church, knocking things over. Todd noticed her and promised that if she embarrassed him in front of his niece that he would throw her out.

Vincent went to the church and asked Evangeline if she remembered how "Hugh" was acting strange. She said yes, but that she chalked it up to heavy medication. Before he could explain any more, Jaime walked down the aisle with the flowers and the ceremony started. Nash popped in just as the organist began playing "Here Comes the Bride." He took his place at the altar and Antonio asked, "What the hell is going on?" Before Nash could say anything, Jessica appeared with Clint, set to walk down the aisle. Clint asked her if she was ready. She did not answer him.
Going over and over in her head, "I'm marrying the man of my dreams," Jess walks down the aisle with Clint, towards Antonio. The ceremony begins but suddenly she says, "I can't do this." Jess pulls Nash out of the chapel and once and for all, explains to him that she has a new combination heart and that she needs to find out for herself what she's after. She thanks him for standing up for her in the wedding but she knows that her new heart is telling her to marry Antonio. She won't change her mind. An inebriated Blair stumbles out, followed closely by Todd. Out in the rectory, Todd tries to get her to drink some water, as Blair denies having had too much to drink. She needs him, she tells him, and doesn't want to be alone. She's quite upset and jealous over the thought of Todd and Evangeline being together at the wedding, she admits. They recall their second wedding with the gold balloons and as they kiss, imagine those same balloons falling again. Todd agrees to take Blair home to lie down. Jess returns to Antonio and tells him she's ready to get on with their wedding now that she's taken care of some unfinished business with Nash. They have written their own vows. Jess: "...put you through a lot...you have this inner strength...been half a person...loved me anyway...believed in me...faith in me...you gave me understanding...gonna love you for the rest of my life..." Antonio: "...I don't have to wait til morning to see you...supporting me in everything I do...a long road to get where I am today...I always knew you'd be there at the end of the road for me..." Nash stands by ripping petals from a rose. Antonio messes up and alleviates some of the tension with laughs, as the couple finally becomes husband and wife.
