The day you've been waiting for has arrived. Faith and Bosco are getting
married.
Fan Fic Part 13: Fairytale Endings
Faith, Kim, Alex, and Emily are all preparing for the wedding.
Kim: Faith, you look beautiful. Faith: Thanks Kim. Those gowns look gorgeous on you all too.
Kim, Alex, and Emily are all wearing short, powder blue dresses. They come down to the knees of the girls. Faith is wearing a beautiful white gown, with a long vail. She is wearing a blue sapphire, heart shaped pendant on her necklace. All of the girls hair is done the same, it's all pulled back except for right at the sides, were it is spiral curled and let fall in front of their ears to frame their faces. There is a white ribbon in each one's hair to hold the hair in place in the back.
Alex: Are you nervous? Faith: I have butterflies in the pit of my stomach. I thought that this day would never Come. And now it's here. I can't believe it. Kim: It's your happiness. This is going to be a beautiful day. Faith: It really is. Not too hot. Alex: Everything looks great.
Bosco, Davis, Sully, and Charlie are putting on their tuxes.
Bosco: How do I do this bowtie? Sully: I told you that you should have gotten the ones that you just fasten into place. Bosco: Shut up and help me!
Charlie laughs.
Bosco: You think this is funny don't you? (Charlie giggles) Come here, I need to fix Your hair. Can't let your mom see you all dressed up with messy hair. Sully: I never thought that I would see the day when Bosco was more worried about Someone else's appearance than his own. Davis: Yeah I know. It's kind of scary. Bosco: Oh shut up! You're just never around me when I'm in a good mood. Sully: I don't know what Faith gave you, but whatever it was worked. Bosco: You think I can't be nice on my own? Davis: Nope. Find it hard to believe. Oh come on!
The park is filling with the guests. There are ten rows of chairs set up. I red carpet is laid in between the two sides of the chairs. There is a white arbor set up in front of the chairs. There are carnations, roses, and ivy spread throughout the arbor. The seats are filling. Jimmy is sitting in the 3rd row. DK and Walsh are beside him. Doc, Carlos, and Gusler are also seated near them. Faith's mom is in the first row with Adrienne who is wearing a white dress and has a blue bow in her hair. Faith's brother and his family are seated next to her. Bosco's mom is on the opposite side. Lieutenant Swersky and other officers from the precinct fill in some seats. Other people include friends and other family members of both Faith and Bosco. Davis and Sully seat the remaining guests.
A messenger walks in.
Messenger: The guests have arrived. They are ready to begin when you are. Faith: Thank you.
The messenger leaves.
Kim: Take your time. Faith: I'm ready. Alex: Don't worry, you look spectacular. Faith: Thanks. Emily: Let's go mom. Faith: Okay sweetie. Here we go girls.
The priest walks to the arbor with his Bible in hand. Bosco follows soon after. He and the others are wearing white tuxedos with long tails and a red rose boutenier. They have black bow ties and white gloves. Davis and Sully join Bosco at the front. A tape is played with classical music on it.
Emily starts down the aisle holding a bouquet of carnations and daisies. Bosco smiles as she walks to the front. His smile is radiating. He is nervous. Sully pats him on the shoulder. They continue to stand with their hand held in front of them.
Charlie comes down the aisle carrying the rings on a light blue pillow. He too has on a white tuxedo and whitegloves. He also has the rose. His hair is neatly combed and slicked over. He reaches Bosco. Bosco is smiling. Charlie stands behind Davis.
Kim begins down the aisle. She too is carrying carnations and daisies. She reaches the front. Alex comes down the aisle next. She reaches the front and turns to the back of the area.
The tape plays the introduction to the Bridal March. A white carriage pulled by two white horses pulls up to the red carpet. Faith is helped from the carriage by an assistant to the driver. Everyone stands and turns. Bosco is awestruck by Faith's beauty. She looks around. Her smile radiates across her face. She begins up the aisle. She is carrying a bunch of white roses and baby's breath. She reaches the front. The music stops.
Priest: Dearly beloveds, we are gathered here to celebrate the union of this man and this Woman in holy matrimony. Rarely in this world is there a union more perfect Than this. Maurice and Faith, two hearts willing to combine to be one soul. Together they will go on to form a home for themselves and three beautiful Children. A home rich in love. We gather hear today to show or love and support For Maurice and Faith.
I would like to read from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."
This is true not only for physical love between two beings, but also spiritual love. For the father in heaven so loved the world that he sent his only son as our Savior. Maurice, Faith, you share a bond that few others can imagine. It is only right for myself and all of your friends, and family that you have chosen to attend to share in the joy that you will call marriage.
The priest holds an unlighted candle. He lights it.
Priest: This candle is meant to be a symbol of your love. The candle burns brightly. So to does your love. You are the keepers of the flame, one which burns brightly in your hearts. Love is a circle that has no beginning or end. Life circles around love. Love is a promise that is always kept, a fortune that can never be spent, a seed that can flourish in even the most unlikely of places. And this radiance that never fades, this mysterious and magical joy, is the greatest treasure of all - one known only by those who love.
Maurice, Faith, we do not truly understand the true depths of your love for one Another. We may assume that your hearts contain a wellspring of joy and love, For you would not be standing here before us if you didn't. We as your friends And family gather here today to share in your love.
(Trisha Yearwood's "How Do I Live" plays in the background)
Priest: Maurice and Faith have chosen to write their own vows. Faith has chosen to Testify and affirm her love for Maurice.
Faith: I have thought that you only learn to love once. I was wrong. I have had a shaky Life. I hit turbulence in my life. When I thought that I was falling, there you were To pick me up. You were a saving grace for me. I can never repay you for all that You have done for me and my family. When I thought that the world had left me Behind, you opened your heart to me. For that I am grateful. For all that I have Been through. I could have never gone it alone. You showed me that two hearts Can bear more weight than a single one. The day that you asked me to marry you, I knew that I had found my one true soul mate. It is strange to think that a tragedy Can breed a new life, and a new love. You have opened a door that I would have Never opened. For the remainder of my time here on this earth I will love no other You are my one and only. You are the missing piece of my life. You finish the Puzzle. You complete me.
Kim and Alex are crying. Faith's words touched them deep inside. Faith's mom shifts Adrienne in her lap. Bosco's mother looks over to her soon to be granddaughter. She smiles.
Priest: Maurice, are you willing to testify your love for Faith?
Bosco: Faith. I cannot tell you how many times in my life I felt that this day would never Come. I felt that I would never find a true love. I thought that I would have to Spend the rest of my life alone. Then you entered my life as my partner at work. It turns out that you are now my partner in life. The keeper of the stars knew What he was doing when he joined us together as partners. As partners we have Had our ups and downs. I realize that all of the downs came because of our Relationship, you always believed in me. You believed in me at times when I Didn't believe in myself. You turned out to be my saving grace. For that I can Never repay you. I am indebted to you for the rest of my life. A life that I want to spend with you and no other. You have changed me for the better. I never thought that I would wake up in the morning with the woman I love and three beautiful children. In one day all of that can change. You have filled a void in my life. For that I can never thank you enough. The only thanks that I can give you is my hand in marriage. Without you, I would be nothing. You are my everything.
(Song ends)
Priest: Maurice and Faith have confessed their love for one another through words. Now They will symbolize that love through the traditional rings. The rings please.
Charlie carries the rings to the priest. Bosco has taken the glove off of his right hand.
Priest: Two simple bands of gold. The circle has no beginning or end. This is to symbolize your love for one another. Maurice, the ring.
Faith puts her right hand in Bosco's left.
Bosco: Faith. With this ring comes my promise that you shall not walk alone in this World ever again. My heart is your shelter. My arms are your safe home. We May share our ups and downs, but God shall always bless us. And to this Promise, I am bound to keep. By giving you this ring, I promise that we will Always walk together through life. This ring is a symbol of my heart. You will Always have it close to you, so that even if I am not around, I am there. I can Think of no greater gift to give to you. You are my life, and for that I am Grateful. I thank the Lord each day for the gifts that he has given me. With this Ring I thee wed. Bosco slides the ring onto Faith's finger. He smiles. His pride is radiating.
Priest: Faith, do you have some words to say to this man?
Faith: Maurice. This ring has come as a symbol of my love for you. My love has no Beginning, and no end. In it you will find the comfort and strength to guide you Through a rough day. You hold the key to my heart. This ring is a symbol of an Unbroken unity. It is a symbol of truth and strength. There is no greater depth to A relationship. On your finger, you hold everything. You hold my life, my Strength, and my love. To cherish and honor for all of the days of your life. As Your ring is a symbol for me, mine too is a symbol for you. When the storms toss You on the sea, remember that the ring is a guide to the safety and securities of home. Of my heart, and my soul. With this ring then, do I thee wed.
Faith slips the ring onto Bosco's finger. Bosco and Faith are standing there.
(Everything I Do by Bryan Adams begins)
Faith thinks back to when she and Bosco first met. They were at the police academy. He was a total ass. She remembered the first day that they worked together. It was awkward. He was a jerk. Hard to think how she softened him up over the years. He became her best friend. Often times he knew more about her than her own husband. Now Bosco was ready to be that husband.
Flashback: Bosco is trapped with Benny Ross behind his RMP. He gets up to run for Cover. He is like a target in a shooting gallery. Faith jumps out from behind the cover of her RMP. She runs across the street supplying cover fire for Bosco to get to the safety of another vehicle.
She was willing to sacrifice her life for him.
Flashback: Bosco is laying in the doorway of an apartment. He is beaten and Downed by a shot. Faith had just gotten to the top of the stairs. Faith: I need to help him. The suspect holds the gun on her, she will not leave Bosco. ESU shoots and kills The suspect.
She easily could have been laying there beside him, but she wasn't. The Lord had seen to it that she was there to help him.
Bosco is also thinking back to his times with Faith. He thinks back to the day that she was chasing the rapist through the subway and she was hit with the pipe. He should have never let her get out of the car. She was pregnant, he knew better than to let her get out of the car. She was doing her job. He remembered getting there to find her laying on the ground, her gun six feet away from her. He was scared.
He recalled the day that Faith went into labor with Adrienne. He was scared to death when he found her laying in the stairs. He realizes how easily both her and Adrienne could have died that day. He had saved them.
She had saved him on Memorial Day. Had she not yelled, Davis would have never got the shot off to kill the terrorist. She didn't have a clean shot. He knew that. He thought about the explosion on New Year's. He was inside the building and almost killed. Faith: Bosco! That building's unstabled. Get out of there!
It was a scary life that he was leading. A life that he knew he couldn't change. He just had to make adaptations.
Priest: This man and this woman have sworn by vows and the exchange of a ring to be Bound together in the bonds of matrimony for the rest of their lives. We are Gathered here today to celebrate this love. But still I must ask. Does anyone Gathered here in the company of the Lord see any reason that these two shall not Be wed? If he does, let him speak now, or forever hold his peace.
There is a long pause. No one has any objections. Faith and Bosco smile.
Priest: Then by the power vested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you Husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.
Bosco lifts the vale and passionately kisses Faith. Everyone in attendance claps and cheers. Sully looks at Davis. Davis has a huge smile on his face. Kim and Alex are crying tears of joy. They are thrilled to be part of the moment. Everyone quiets, the kiss ends.
Priest: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I get to introduce you for the Very first time. Mr. And Mrs. Maurice Boscorelli.
(The song ends)
Again everyone cheers. This time it is a standing ovation. The tape player starts in the Wedding March as Bosco and Faith head back the aisle. Bosco stops and takes Adrienne from Mona's arms. They head back for the carriage. Emily and Charlie are behind. Bosco assists Faith into the carriage. He hands Adrienne to her. Then he helps Emily in, and picks Charlie up and puts him in before climbing in himself. The carriage heads off through the park.
Bosco: I can't believe it! Faith: I know.
They are watching as everyone begins to follow. They are headed towards the FOP hall for the reception.
Bosco: You got you fairytale wedding. Faith: I got my Prince Charming Bosco: And I got my Cinderella.
They are laughing. Adrienne is babbling on and on.
Adrienne: Daddy.
Everyone is shocked.
Bosco: Did you hear that? Did you hear that? She called me Daddy!
Faith, Emily, and Charlie are laughing. Bosco is excited.
Bosco: Daddy's here sweetheart. Faith: You're the only father she's ever known.
They get to the FOP hall. Everyone is waiting on them inside. They enter the doors and get a shower in bubbles. Adrienne is laughing and waving her arms at the bubbles. She is in Bosco's arms. There is music. Bosco and family are seated at the head table. Sully stands up and raises his glass.
Sully: I'd like to make a toast. As the best man, it is my responsibility to make some sort Of comment. Though I'm no good at speeches. To Bosco, you got yourself a Wonderful woman. Though I'm still not seeing you as a family man. To Faith, You are the one woman who has ever tamed Bosco's heart. May the two of you Share in many joys for years to come.
The crowd: Here here.
They drink and then Bosco stands up.
Bosco: This is the happiest day of my life. I have not one, but three beautiful women in My life. Adrienne called me Daddy. I thank you all so much for the love and Support that you have showed us. Without that love and support, none of this Would have ever been possible. Thank you all for coming and enjoy dinner.
The music continues and dinner is brought out. They all enjoy it.
Sully: It's time for the time honored tradition of the bouquet toss. All of you single ladies Out there stand in the center of the floor.
Kim, and Emily, and Rose, and all of the other women stand in the center of the floor. Faith stands with her back to them.
Sully: On the count of three. 1, 2,3!
Faith tosses the bouquet. Kim catches it. Everyone congratulates her. Alex and Faith are laughing at Kim's luck. Jimmy walks over to her.
Jimmy: Think it's a sign? Kim: Maybe. Jimmy: You looked beautiful today. Kim: Thanks Jimmy.
Alex stands up. Alright guys, it's your turn. All of you single guys, get out in the middle of the floor for the garter toss. All of the single guys are on the floor. Bosco takes the garter off of Faith's leg.
Alex: Ready Bosco? Bosco: Yeah. Alex: On three. 1,2,3.
Bosco tosses the garter over his shoulder. Carlos catches it. Everyone pats him on the back. He is shocked to be holding it.
DK: Way to go Carlos! Walsh: Yeah, way to go. Carlos: But I.
Everyone laughs at Carlos's speechless expression. The music starts back up and everyone mingles around to talk.
DK: Congratulations Bosco. Bosco: Thanks. DK: Don't mention it.
Faith is talking with her mother.
Mona: Bosco is one amazing guy. Faith: I know Mona: He'll be good for you. Faith: Yeah, he's been great already.
Fred's mother walks over to her.
Fred's mom: Hope I'm not interrupting. Faith: You're not. Fred's mom: I just wanted to say that you looked as beautiful today as you did when you Married my son. Faith: Thanks. Fred's mom: I'm sorry about what I said in the past. I hope that you can forgive me. You deserve to be happy. Hopefully Maurice is the one that you will spend The rest of your life with. I know that together you will give my Grandchildren a safe and loving home. Faith: Thank you. We will give Emily, Charlie, and Adrienne all of the love and support That one could ever need and more.
Faith and Fred's mother embrace. Bosco sees this and walks over.
Fred's mom: Maurice. Bosco: Yes ma'am? Fred's mom: I have no doubt that you will be a great father and role model for my Grandchildren. Bosco: I will do my best. Fred's mom: I know you will.
She smiles and then hugs him as well. Faith smiles in the background. Alex and Davis walk over.
Alex: This has been great guys Faith: Thanks, we tried. Davis: You two did an awesome job with the planning. It has been a sensational wedding. Bosco: I gotta give most of the credit to Faith. She did most of the planning. Alex: You did an awesome job. Faith: Thanks.
Bosco's mom walks over.
Rose: Hello everyone. Bosco: Ty, Alex, have you met my mother? Alex: I don't think so. Bosco: Mom, this is Ty and Alex. Ty works with me and Alex is FDNY paramedic. Rose: Nice to meet you both. Davis: The pleasure is ours. Rose: Faith, you looked wonderful today. Faith: Thank you. Rose: It takes a lot to get my Maurice to settle down, I don't know how you did it. Bosco: Ma! Rose: I am glad that it was you that got him to calm down. Faith: Thanks.
They embrace. Rose kisses Faith on the cheek. Charlie and Emily walk over.
Rose: There's my favorite grandchildren. Bosco: You have a lot of catching up to do. Rose: We've got time, don't we kids? Emily and Charlie nod in agreement.
Rose: How about this weekend we go shopping?
The kids are excited. Faith and Bosco laugh.
Sully: You know what we haven't done yet? We haven't shared in the first dance of Mr. And Mrs. Boscorelli. DJ, you know what to do.
The lights dim except for a spotlight on Faith and Bosco. The DJ begins a song (Tracy Byrd "Keeper of the Stars")
Bosco: Mrs. Boscorelli, may I have this dance?
He asks with his hand outstretched. They begin to dance. They are smiling as the song plays. For once in their lifetime, the world is revolving around the two of them. Faith puts her head on Bosco's shoulder.
Bosco: I'm glad that this day has come. Faith: Me too. Bosco: So what do you want to do on your first night of being my wife? Faith: I'm sure that you know.
The song ends and everyone claps.
Bosco: Excuse me, there is another young lady that I must dance with.
He walks over to Emily. He extends his hand and they dance to the next song. Faith dances with Charlie. Kim and Jimmy dance, Alex and Davis as well. Sully walks over to Rose.
Sully: You have a great son. Rose: I know. Sully: Would you care to dance? Rose: Why thank you.
They join everyone on the dance floor.
DJ: It's time for one last dance. Faith, this is dedicated to you by your husband.
"All My Life" begins to play in the background. Bosco walks over to Faith.
Bosco: I thank God everyday that you are in my life. Faith: Me too.
The scene fades out as everyone is dancing. The song ends.

She easily could have been laying there beside him, but she wasn't. The Lord had seen to it that she was there to help him.
Bosco is also thinking back to his times with Faith. He thinks back to the day that she was chasing the rapist through the subway and she was hit with the pipe. He should have never let her get out of the car. She was pregnant, he knew better than to let her get out of the car. She was doing her job. He remembered getting there to find her laying on the ground, her gun six feet away from her. He was scared.
He recalled the day that Faith went into labor with Adrienne. He was scared to death when he found her laying in the stairs. He realizes how easily both her and Adrienne could have died that day. He had saved them.
She had saved him on Memorial Day. Had she not yelled, Davis would have never got the shot off to kill the terrorist. She didn't have a clean shot. He knew that. He thought about the explosion on New Year's. He was inside the building and almost killed. Faith: Bosco! That building's unstabled. Get out of there!
It was a scary life that he was leading. A life that he knew he couldn't change. He just had to make adaptations.
Priest: This man and this woman have sworn by vows and the exchange of a ring to be Bound together in the bonds of matrimony for the rest of their lives. We are Gathered here today to celebrate this love. But still I must ask. Does anyone Gathered here in the company of the Lord see any reason that these two shall not Be wed? If he does, let him speak now, or forever hold his peace.
There is a long pause. No one has any objections. Faith and Bosco smile.
Priest: Then by the power vested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you Husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.
Bosco lifts the vale and passionately kisses Faith. Everyone in attendance claps and cheers. Sully looks at Davis. Davis has a huge smile on his face. Kim and Alex are crying tears of joy. They are thrilled to be part of the moment. Everyone quiets, the kiss ends.
Priest: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I get to introduce you for the Very first time. Mr. And Mrs. Maurice Boscorelli.
(The song ends)
Again everyone cheers. This time it is a standing ovation. The tape player starts in the Wedding March as Bosco and Faith head back the aisle. Bosco stops and takes Adrienne from Mona's arms. They head back for the carriage. Emily and Charlie are behind. Bosco assists Faith into the carriage. He hands Adrienne to her. Then he helps Emily in, and picks Charlie up and puts him in before climbing in himself. The carriage heads off through the park.
Bosco: I can't believe it! Faith: I know.
They are watching as everyone begins to follow. They are headed towards the FOP hall for the reception.
Bosco: You got you fairytale wedding. Faith: I got my Prince Charming Bosco: And I got my Cinderella.
They are laughing. Adrienne is babbling on and on.
Adrienne: Daddy.
Everyone is shocked.
Bosco: Did you hear that? Did you hear that? She called me Daddy!
Faith, Emily, and Charlie are laughing. Bosco is excited.
Bosco: Daddy's here sweetheart. Faith: You're the only father she's ever known.
They get to the FOP hall. Everyone is waiting on them inside. They enter the doors and get a shower in bubbles. Adrienne is laughing and waving her arms at the bubbles. She is in Bosco's arms. There is music. Bosco and family are seated at the head table. Sully stands up and raises his glass.
Sully: I'd like to make a toast. As the best man, it is my responsibility to make some sort Of comment. Though I'm no good at speeches. To Bosco, you got yourself a Wonderful woman. Though I'm still not seeing you as a family man. To Faith, You are the one woman who has ever tamed Bosco's heart. May the two of you Share in many joys for years to come.
The crowd: Here here.
They drink and then Bosco stands up.
Bosco: This is the happiest day of my life. I have not one, but three beautiful women in My life. Adrienne called me Daddy. I thank you all so much for the love and Support that you have showed us. Without that love and support, none of this Would have ever been possible. Thank you all for coming and enjoy dinner.
The music continues and dinner is brought out. They all enjoy it.
Sully: It's time for the time honored tradition of the bouquet toss. All of you single ladies Out there stand in the center of the floor.
Kim, and Emily, and Rose, and all of the other women stand in the center of the floor. Faith stands with her back to them.
Sully: On the count of three. 1, 2,3!
Faith tosses the bouquet. Kim catches it. Everyone congratulates her. Alex and Faith are laughing at Kim's luck. Jimmy walks over to her.
Jimmy: Think it's a sign? Kim: Maybe. Jimmy: You looked beautiful today. Kim: Thanks Jimmy.
Alex stands up. Alright guys, it's your turn. All of you single guys, get out in the middle of the floor for the garter toss. All of the single guys are on the floor. Bosco takes the garter off of Faith's leg.
Alex: Ready Bosco? Bosco: Yeah. Alex: On three. 1,2,3.
Bosco tosses the garter over his shoulder. Carlos catches it. Everyone pats him on the back. He is shocked to be holding it.
DK: Way to go Carlos! Walsh: Yeah, way to go. Carlos: But I.
Everyone laughs at Carlos's speechless expression. The music starts back up and everyone mingles around to talk.
DK: Congratulations Bosco. Bosco: Thanks. DK: Don't mention it.
Faith is talking with her mother.
Mona: Bosco is one amazing guy. Faith: I know Mona: He'll be good for you. Faith: Yeah, he's been great already.
Fred's mother walks over to her.
Fred's mom: Hope I'm not interrupting. Faith: You're not. Fred's mom: I just wanted to say that you looked as beautiful today as you did when you Married my son. Faith: Thanks. Fred's mom: I'm sorry about what I said in the past. I hope that you can forgive me. You deserve to be happy. Hopefully Maurice is the one that you will spend The rest of your life with. I know that together you will give my Grandchildren a safe and loving home. Faith: Thank you. We will give Emily, Charlie, and Adrienne all of the love and support That one could ever need and more.
Faith and Fred's mother embrace. Bosco sees this and walks over.
Fred's mom: Maurice. Bosco: Yes ma'am? Fred's mom: I have no doubt that you will be a great father and role model for my Grandchildren. Bosco: I will do my best. Fred's mom: I know you will.
She smiles and then hugs him as well. Faith smiles in the background. Alex and Davis walk over.
Alex: This has been great guys Faith: Thanks, we tried. Davis: You two did an awesome job with the planning. It has been a sensational wedding. Bosco: I gotta give most of the credit to Faith. She did most of the planning. Alex: You did an awesome job. Faith: Thanks.
Bosco's mom walks over.
Rose: Hello everyone. Bosco: Ty, Alex, have you met my mother? Alex: I don't think so. Bosco: Mom, this is Ty and Alex. Ty works with me and Alex is FDNY paramedic. Rose: Nice to meet you both. Davis: The pleasure is ours. Rose: Faith, you looked wonderful today. Faith: Thank you. Rose: It takes a lot to get my Maurice to settle down, I don't know how you did it. Bosco: Ma! Rose: I am glad that it was you that got him to calm down. Faith: Thanks.
They embrace. Rose kisses Faith on the cheek. Charlie and Emily walk over.

Rose: How about this weekend we go shopping?
The kids are excited. Faith and Bosco laugh.
Sully: You know what we haven't done yet? We haven't shared in the first dance of Mr. And Mrs. Boscorelli. DJ, you know what to do.
The lights dim except for a spotlight on Faith and Bosco. The DJ begins a song (Tracy Byrd "Keeper of the Stars")
Bosco: Mrs. Boscorelli, may I have this dance?
He asks with his hand outstretched. They begin to dance. They are smiling as the song plays. For once in their lifetime, the world is revolving around the two of them. Faith puts her head on Bosco's shoulder.
Bosco: I'm glad that this day has come. Faith: Me too. Bosco: So what do you want to do on your first night of being my wife? Faith: I'm sure that you know.
The song ends and everyone claps.
Bosco: Excuse me, there is another young lady that I must dance with.
He walks over to Emily. He extends his hand and they dance to the next song. Faith dances with Charlie. Kim and Jimmy dance, Alex and Davis as well. Sully walks over to Rose.
Sully: You have a great son. Rose: I know. Sully: Would you care to dance? Rose: Why thank you.
They join everyone on the dance floor.
DJ: It's time for one last dance. Faith, this is dedicated to you by your husband.
"All My Life" begins to play in the background. Bosco walks over to Faith.
Bosco: I thank God everyday that you are in my life. Faith: Me too.
The scene fades out as everyone is dancing. The song ends.
