Chapter 17

A month later...

Minister: ...do you, Joseph Francis Tribbiani, take Rachel Karen Green to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, until death do you part? Joey [smiles]: I do.

He slid the wedding band onto his new wife's finger.

Minister: And do you, Rachel Karen Green, take Joseph Francis Tribbiani to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?

Rachel [smiling widely, her blue eyes brimming with tears]: I do.

She then slid the wedding band onto her new husband's finger.

Minister: Then, by the power vested in me and the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride.

Joey leaned in and gave Rachel a sweet kiss on the lips, as they turned and walked down the aisle, joined in holy matchimony, forever, binds that no other could break, as their love for one another was so strong.

Phoebe: See, they're lobsters!

Monica: Yep, they'll be together forever, no doubt about it

Chandler: Boy, I've never seen Joey so happy, I'm so glad he finally got to marry his one, first true love.

I was fretting last night

Lost out in the cold

Couldn't see the light

Then she opened up the door

I came in from the dark

Fell into her arms

Just in time

Now I know that I

Left the past behind

We'll let it go

You could tell me tonight

That maybe the world would end

That the sun wouldn't rise

And it was gonna rain again

Just as long as she's in my arms

It's gonna be a perfect day

There's a look in her eyes

Makes me feel alright

Lights the perfect sky

That I couldn't see before

That she helped me to find

Now that I've seen her shine

I know I'll never be alone

Cause now I know that I

Have love I can't deny

I won't let it go
