Josh: So you want me to make you an honest woman? You name the time and the place and I'll be there.
Reva: Really? You really wanna get married again?
Josh: I'll marry you every day of the week, every week of the year. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. You're my life. *Josh gets down on his knees* Reva Shayne, will you do me the honor of being my wife? Will you marry me?
Reva: I would really love to marry you, Joshua Lewis....Always.
March 26, 1999
Josh: I'm gonna marry you again. When was the last time we got married before? What was it? Six months ago? Ten years ago? I'm not gonna let you get away from me again.
Reva: Well, ten years yeah. Can you believe it's been ten years since our wedding at Cross Creek?
Josh: Well, yes I can believe it if I think about all the stuff we've gone through.
Reva: Hard to believe we're still here huh?
Josh: Nothing's really changed has it? You're still as beautiful as you were the day you stepped off that rowboat and took my hand.
Reva: And you're just as handsome. And the words that we said to each other that day are even more true today.
Josh: Reva Shayne, I have loved you since the day I was born. And I will love you til the day I die. Marry me.
Reva: I think I'd like that.
April 27, 1999
Reva: This house is full of so much love.
Josh: It's so full of love we're gonna have to add on a whole other wing just to handle it.
Reva: And I love you.
Josh: And I'm crazy about you.
Reva: I'm so glad. And I thank God for that everyday. But you know what I want to concentrate on right now? I wanna concentrate on getting us married. We're gonna have the most memorable wedding ever.
Josh: Ya know it's gonna be pretty hard to beat the last one.
Reva: Well I know, but if we put our minds together...
Josh: That's right, and that's exactly what we're gonna do. We're gonna put our minds together and that'll be a good thing because now we're...what?
Reva: Older. That's what you wanted to say. You wanted to say we're older.
Josh: No, no we're wiser. We're wiser now.
Reva: Wiser! And that's what this wedding is gonna be about.
Josh: We're gonna have a wise wedding. Exactly.
Reva: This wedding is going to be about who we are and what we will be. We're gonna celebrate our future.
Josh: May we have more time together and less time looking for each other.
Reva: Amen to that!
Josh: May we have a much brighter, happier, more wonderful future with less...
Reva: Danger?
Josh: ...potentially lethal stuff happening.
Reva: That's right.
Josh: Yeah! We've been through alot haven't we?
Reva: Yes and we're still standing.
Josh: That's right. We survived Annie. That's a good thing huh?
Reva: One woman apocalypse.
Josh: Hey, after her everything else is just a walk in the park. Bring on the pestilence...bring on the plagues...bring on the whole thing.
Reva: You know what? Speaking of a walk in the park, I think we should get back to our wedding plans.
Josh: What does a walk in the park have to do with wedding plans? I thought we'd already decided on a skydiving format for the wedding.
Reva: Oh well I know that, but you see I'm having a difficult time finding a minister who will not only parachute but also talk fast at the same time.
Josh: Oh yeah very fast because we'll only have about two minutes before we hit the ground.
Reva: To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, til death do us part. You may now kiss the briiiiiide.
Reva: We're gonna have to look in the yellow pages to see if there's one listed.
Josh: Wait, stop. Hold that thought. I have something here.
Reva: Uh oh! What do you have?
Josh: Potential honeymoon spots. Right here.
Reva: Oooh, do they all come with a bed?
Josh: Every single one of them...come here.
Reva: That's good. Just what I wanted to hear. I'll leave the details to you.
Josh: Let's see, we've got a cruise.
Reva: That sounds good. Feels good, too.
Josh: We got a beach...mountains.
Reva: Mountains. Like I said, it's your choice. ***Jeva fall into an embrace***
April 29, 1999
Josh: Everything's gonna be okay, sweetheart.
Reva: I know, Bud.
Josh: Picture it. Close your eyes. It's our wedding day. It's the garden at the Country Club, it's beautiful. Cherry blossoms have just began to bloom as if they were waiting for this very moment. Our friends are there, our family's there, everyone who loves us. We have more love surrounding us in this moment than any two people are entitled to. I'm waiting for you. I'm almost afraid of the moment you're gonna come walking down the aisle...because I have never known of or seen or heard of a love with the intesity that our love has. And all of that intensity is gonna be focused on us in that moment. And it will be one of the most incredible days of our lives. It'll be our new beginning.
Reva: Our new beginning. I like the sound of that.
Josh: Eyes closed. It's our time, Reva. Our love has been tested over and over again. It's never failed us. And we're gonna spend the rest of our lives celebrating.
Sarah's Letter
"You've been on my mind, child. I keep thinking of that fiesty little girl in Tulsa who didn't think there was anything she couldn't do. Lord, did you hit the ground running when you came into this world. You knew that was the way to live life and you made sure it never passed you by and I want you to know how much your mama admires you, Reva Shayne. You fought so hard and survived so much, I know all the love and happiness you deserve is just waiting for you around the corner. You just stay strong and patient like the woman I know you are and trust that your mama's right on this one. Now we have to have a little talk about your Joshua. I know you two aren't together right now, but that won't be for long honey. You've belonged together since you first layed eyes on each other all those years ago. You're gonna have to fight for this love again, Reva, but you're gonna find it, I promise. Because it's never left you. And when you do, when you're ready to walk down the aisle with that boy again, your mama's gonna be right there with you, girl. Just like the big Oklahoma breeze that blows in, I'll be there. And there won't be a prouder woman in the world. I love you, Reva, and don't you ever forget it."
