Lorna makes it to the altar at the time, where she takes her place on her side. Damon in the last moment rushes to his side and starts to whisper to Alaric as Elena stands beside the blonde.
Jo walks, escorted by her father, and everyone turns to watch them meet Alaric and the bridesmaids and groomsmen at the altar.
Once everyone is in position, the Reverend begins his homily. Alaric is stunned speechless by the sight of Jo, and they both beam at each other.
"Welcome, family and friends, on this magical evening to the wedding of Alaric Saltzman and Josette Loughlin. Josette and Alaric have prepared their own vows." The reverend announces.
Alaric clears his throat nervously. "Ahem. Neither one of us should be here right now. We've spent our life dodging fate and beating the odds. But, because we did, I got to meet you, the most beautiful, hilarious and intimidatingly brilliant woman I have ever known. You inspire me, you've shown me that happiness is actually something that I can have in my life. And so..." He grabs the ring from Tyler. "I promise to be with you, and love you, and to dodge fate with you-" He puts the ring on Jo's finger and Jo begins to cry. "- for the rest of our lives."
"Josette?" The reverend calls out.
"Oh god, that's a tough act to follow." Jo says making everyone laugh including me. "Here it goes- Alaric Saltzman, you are..." She stops suddenly and gasps loudly, looking weak and in pain.
Alaric looks alarmed. "Jo? Jo? Jo? Oh my god. Jo? Jo? Jo?"
Jo starts to sway on her feet as blood begins to pour from the front of her dress, as though she's been stabbed from behind.
"Jo? Oh god, no!" Alaric panics.
"Aah! Aah!" She falls forward and is caught by Alaric, revealing that Kai is standing behind her with a bloody hunting knife in his hands.
"No!" Alaric yells. "No, no, no, no."
"I was gonna wait 'til the 'death do us apart' bit, but it seemed a little on the nose." Kai says. "Am I right?"
Alaric is on his knees on the ground now, and he's holding Jo, who is white as a ghost and looks as though she's in bad shape.
Lorna stands frozen at her spot gazing with pure disappointment at Kai who avoids her eye contact at all cost.
Joshua stands up from his seat and rushes toward Alaric and Jo, but Kai holds up a hand, magically creating a high-pitched noise that incapacitates everyone at the ceremony.
They all grab their ears and scream in pain as Kai smiles gleefully. "This is fun."
The noise Kai has magically created is so powerful that all of the glasses and windows shatter, causing Damon, Elena and Lorna to fall to the ground as the wedding ceremony erupts into chaos.
