In The Colonade Room , the music for the wedding is on as the guests stand up. Jenny walks down the aisle as the flower girl,spreading them around and on the ground. After that,she sits down with JR,AJ, and Marissa. Then the bride,Ruth Martin comes down the aisle,wearing the same dress since she married Joe in 1972. Everyone looks in in awe as Joe smiles. As Ruth reaches the altar,Joe grabs her hand and wispers to her. "You look beautiful Ruth" - Joe. "Thank You Joe" - Ruth. The two face Father Clarence as the wedding music stops and Father Clarence begins to speak.
"Dealy beloved,to all family and friends.We are gathered here today to join Joe and Ruth Martin in holy matrimony. For over the years these two have helped to build and keep their family together. Ruth and Joe became the wise sages to all the young lovers, new parents, and anyone with a problem. Ruth and Joe have been the one constant in PV. Their lives have revolved around "all their children" and grandchildren. When everyone needed advice, the two have become the solid rock upon which everyone in Pine Valley has turned to at one time or another for sound advice and family love. The challenges these two faced were not easy,but in the end,they have become united as one and has overcomed them. Today, we are all fortunate to share in their joy as they renew their vows in matrimony. Let's hear the groom first" - Father Clarence
Joe gets out his vows as he begins to read and look at Ruth. "Ruth,when I came to Pine Valley, I thought that I lost everything when Helen died. When I worked at The Pine Valley Hospital, I immediately became a fixture of the community. My charismatic charm was especially impressive to you Ruth. And even though when I knew you were married, I kept my distance,but I had feelings for you. But, could not deny my feelings for you. I wondered if it was possible for true love to strike twice in one lifetime, and it did. With that, im lucky,proud and grateful to be with you. Now that were today,our love is stronger than ever" - Joe.
"Now we will hear from the bride" - Father Clarence. Ruth gets out her vows as she reads it and looks at Joe. "Joe, as a loving nurse, I had problems,I went to you for help. I had feelings for the charismatic doctor that you are, but I felt I couldn't leave others that I cared for. When Ted and Phil died,you gave me comfort. When we married,life didn't give us the easy path. We faced affairs,and secrets that we should of been honest with each other. Back then you could no longer trust me, and I couldn't trust you. But then we reconciled and promised to make our marriage work. Back then and now,we are here for each other,this is forever,I love you Joe and no one else. We will love each other untill the day one of us die" - Ruth.
"May we have the rings please" - Father Clarence. Paul gives one to Joe as Amy gives one to Ruth. Joe puts the ring on Ruth as he speaks. "This is a sign of love,trust and commitment. We may not agree on everything, but in the end,we are here for each other as always. There's no one else more beautiful than you are." - Joe. Ruth puts the ring on Joe as she speaks. "This is also a sign,of love,trust,and commitment. There is no one that has ever been a friend and also a husband such as you. We have many years to look forward to but it's like you said,we will always be there for each other" - Ruth.
"If there is anyone that has objection to this and does not want Ruth and Joe to renew their wedding vows,then speak now or forever,hold your peace" - Father Clarence. Everyone looks around but no one makes a sound or noise. " I pronounce you husband and wife,you may kiss each other" - Father Clarence. The two kiss as the wedding music blasts through the room and everyone stands up and gives Joe and Ruth a big ovation. The two walk down the aisle as others follow them into the dining room where the good food is and the wedding cake.
