| Moira watches the wedding ceremony from the window. When the Mayor asks "Who gives this woman to this man?" Moira silently says, "I do". |
 |
 |
| Ryan: Well, there you are, I've been
looking all over for you.
Moira: Ryan, I was with you the whole time, I wouldn't miss your wedding. Ryan: I didn't see you. |
 |
 |
| Moira: Well, you've been very busy.
So, are you getting ready to leave?
Ryan: Yeah, Rick won't tell me where though. He says it's a surprise. Moira: That's fine. He's fine. Rick. I like him. Let me help you with these buttons. |
 |
 |
| Ryan: Thank you. Your help
has meant so much to me. It's all been so wonderful.
Moira: From the moment I laid eyes on you, I somehow felt responsible for you. I'm very glad I could be here. Ryan... oh... are you ...alright about the honeymoon? Ryan: Oh, you mean tonight? |
 |
 |
| Moira: Does 'oh' mean you'd rather
not discuss it?
Ryan: Oh means, I don't know. I think I feel all right. It's just I don't know what I don't know, you know? |
 |
 |
| Moira: You know more than you think
you do. You love him and you trust him.
Ryan: Absolutely. |
 |
 |
| Moira: Then you know intimacy and sharing
yourself will be the most natural thing in the world.
Ryan: Thank you. |
 |
 |
| Moira: But there's more than that,
Ryan. Listen to me. I think you'll find that marriage takes
on a life of its own. There's you, there's Rick, and then there's
that special closeness that's both of you and that is a precious gift,
Ryan. Protect it, fight for it if you have to, but promise me you
won't let go of it.
Ryan: (Shakes head.) Moira: Good girl. (Kisses Ryan) Now, let's get you out of here, I think you have a husband waiting. |
| Rick and Ryan leave on their honeymoon.
Soon after Ryan's father, Jack, and Uncle Frank arrive in Greenvale, too
late to stop the wedding.
When a married Ryan returns home she tells her grandmother, Maeve, how a wonderful woman named Moira made everything perfect. Upon hearing all about Moira, Maeve says to herself, "Oh Mary...I knew you couldn't let her down." |
