Oh, yes, Lex's monstrosity of a wedding would be highly orchestrated and timed. I just wanted to slap that wedding planner for telling Lois that she had 10 minutes. Truth is, the bride should ALWAYS be allowed to arrive whenever she feels like it. If you time-pressure some brides to death, they are less likely to arrive at all.
When Clark knocks on Lois's door, I thought it was her mother as per canon. This makes more sense. Of course, he would knock on her door. He just heard her say "Lois Lane-Kent". Nothing would stop him from being at that door. Although, it appears that Clark didn't even hear her.
My one qualm is with this line:
For a moment, a look passed between the three of them as a mosaic of emotions ran across Lex’s face than he said with a touch of the old defiance. “The contest is done. Kent, you have won the prize. I challenge you to prove yourself worthy of her.” With a sense of worn dignity, he looked away.
Even when faced with the reality of the situation, I can never see Lex admitting defeat. NEVER.
for Perry getting a punch of Lex in! No one deserved it more.
This was beautifully done and one of my favorite of your vignettes.

It was addressed in the script but it didn't make the final version. I believe it was to save time. From the script:
LOIS: My dad's medical relief mission is in Africa, and Lucy's still trekking in Nepal.
Neither of these excuses make sense with what they did with the characters in S2-S4. If they had left these lines in, I wonder how different Lucy's and Sam's characterizations would have changed?
