JOSHUA:
"Well, here we are. I don't know that there's anything left that we haven't already said to each other. A couple of hours ago I tried to think of something. I went down to the river by that big old rock we used to dive off of. Do you remember that? And I sat there and I tried to come up with some words but all I really got were pictures. It was like having my whole life flash before my eyes and you were always there. Right up there in front. I remembered the first time I ever saw you, the first time you ever came into our house. I believe I threw a softball at you. And I believe you chased me around with a bat after that. Pretty little girl with a real long blonde braid running down the length of her back. I was six years old and I fell in love. And now it's hard for me to remember a time that I didn't love you. It's hard for me to imagine a season without you in it. And I thank God that I don't have to think about a time when you won't be there. I love you, Reva. And I love our little girl. And from this moment on we are going to be the family that we were always meant to be. The family that we always were. Always, Reva...."
REVA:
"....Always, Bud. Well, I looked out today and I saw everybody, all the people that I've loved all my life. The sky--so blue and that sweet smell coming off the river. And for a split second I thought this is Heaven, or this is what Heaven is gonna be like. And then I looked at you, Bud. And I said, "No. This is our wedding day." This is the day where the past meets the future. Right here, right now. I feel so full now, and so blessed. And you're right. There isn't much we haven't said to each other. We've made promises to each other ever since we were kids. And I'm gonna make the biggest promise that I've ever made to you right now. The rest of my life is yours. I wanna give you a home; a home that will feel like a safe harbor in a storm. Because giving to you is what makes me feel full. And I think that's the way it's supposed to be. I love you, Bud."
"Can we kiss now?"
As a gift from Billy, the guests tell stories about Josh and Reva on video.
Hamp Remembers....
"Now, what comes to mind when I think of Josh and Reva? Alright...summertime. Remember that time that HB sent us all down to fetch us up some rocks so we could put in a fireplace at the big house? Now you and I had Reva doing all of the hauling, right? She looked just like a little gopher running in and out of that quarry, carrying rocks 2-3 times as big as she was...til Josh showed up. Then all hell breaks loose. Josh comes up, he takes one look at her hands, man, and he just goes stone crazy. He swears to God he's gonna kill you and I, right? And he almost did. He loves her, Billy. Man, he loves her more than anything else in the world."
