Quotes 

• Dr. Izzie Stevens : [opening voiceover]  You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest. The days you think are going to be big ones, they are never as big as you make them out to be in your head. It's the regular days, the ones that start out normal. Those are the days that end up being the biggest. And today was the wedding. It was beautiful. Perfect.

• Minister : Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to celebrate the wedding of Alexander Michael Karev and Isobel Katherine Stevens. This is a sacred right. An ancient right. As Isobel and Alex prepare to join their lives, it is important to understand that everyone present has played a part in shaping their lives. And, will continue to play a vital role in their continuing future. And thus, we are here not only to witness their vows to each other, but to bestow upon them our blessing. And, now the couple will read their vows.

  Dr. Izzie Stevens : Oh, we didn't write anything.

  Dr. Alex Karev : No, wait. I have something I wanna say. Today's the day my life begins. All my life I've been just me. Just a smart mouth kid. Today, I become a man. Today, I become a husband. Today, I become accountable to someone other than myself. Today, I become accountable to you, to our future, to all the possibilities that a marriage has to offer. Together, no matter what happens, I'll be ready. For anything... for everything. To take on life, to take on love, to take on possibility and responsibility. Today, Izzie Stevens, our life together begins. And I, for one, can't wait.

  Dr. Izzie Stevens : I love you.

  [kisses Alex] 

  Minister : Ahem, not yet!

  Dr. Alex Karev : Hurry up.

  Minister : By the power vested in me, by god and the state of Washington, I now pronounce you husband and wife.

  Dr. Izzie Stevens : Now?

  Minister : Now.

• Dr. Izzie Stevens : [closing voiceover]  You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it's happening. You don't recognize the biggest day of your life, until you're right in the middle of it. The day you commit to someone or something. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there's not enough time because you want to live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. You know?
