Synopsis: Jack and Rose are going through their wedding vows, when there's an interruption from Cal. Although not deliberate at first, he does eventually in full force. Meanwhile, Ruth is watching silently in appreciation of her daughters love for Jack. She stands up for Rose against Cal.

"I do." answered Ruth, once more and this time quite forcefully, looking straight at Cal.

"Mother!" was all that Rose managed, as she gasped in surprise.

"Why thank you, Mrs DeWitt Bukater. Rose and I greatly appreciate your support. However, I'm quite surprised with this reaction considering how you feel about me!" Jack had this little grin on his face, as he has just been given the blessing of his lifetime, and the look on Cal's face was anything but pleased. Jack loved it.

Looking to and from Rose, Jack and Ruth, Cal couldn't understand what he had just heard. Ruth was meant to be on his side, not that steerage slum! "You won't get away with this. Do you hear me? Have you forgotten I had you arrested for stealing the diamond?" ranted Cal as he threatened Jack.

"Cal. Do yourself a favour and calm down. I have something to tell you. Firstly, Jack didn't steal the diamond, you planted it on him. Secondly, it belongs to me as you gave it to me. You had no right to arrest him for something that didn't belong to you in the first place. Besides, I have it in my possession now." Rose was absolutely furious. The audacity of this man, who she very nearly married too! "I'm sorry," said Rose turning towards the Captain, "I certainly didn't expect all these interruptions. You see, I was previously engaged to this man," (indicating Cal), "but I since fell in love with Jack," (putting her arm around Jack), "and this is my mother Ruth DeWitt Bukater."

"Well, I must admit today has definitely been an exciting day! Would you like to reschedule, so that you can work out through this mess?" asked the Captain. He felt sorry for the young woman. He could see the love she had for the young man she is trying to marry. This other man, Cal, it was quite obvious he just didn't like not getting his own way. He was really hoping that this couple will get married, they suited each other so well, even though it was quite apparent they were from different worlds.

"No, that will be quite all right thank you." replied Ruth to the Captain. Turning to Cal, she continued, "Mr Hockley, I would like to thank you for all your kind assistance and hospitality over these last couple of months. Obviously, as human feelings have been known to do, Rose had decided against marrying you. She has every right to do so. As you are aware, she found this interesting man, Jack Dawson, far more appealing, and being the first to admit it, was against this pairing from the start. I have since come to see the error of my ways and given them my blessing. If you would be so kind as to leave this chapel and my family alone, it will be in everyone's best interests." With that Ruth turned her back on Cal and gave Rose a hug.

"What's wrong Cal, cat got your tongue?" Jack smirked, trying very hard not to burst out laughing. He looked over at Rose and saw that she was having as much difficulty as he was.

"But ... but ... you were ... how can?" Cal spluttered, leaning heavily onto Tommy, who was not enjoying it at all.

"Get off, you oaf! Can't you understand what the lady said? You are no longer welcome here." boomed the Irish brogue.

Tommy then gave Cal a slight shove towards the door. There was a silence that had descended over the chapel during this last exchange, which was only shattered by the door slamming shut. The other passengers who were in the chapel from the beginning, all went back to being lost in their own thoughts, happy that this young couple had succeeded in getting married. The Captain began to reshuffle his papers and Ruth went to stand on Roses' left.

"Excuse me Captain, we're ready to continue with the ceremony when you are," said Jack, squeezing Roses' hand for reassurance.

"Yes, yes, certainly. Where were we? Oh yes, I asked who gives this woman to this man, and you ma'am" looking at Ruth, "answered that you do." continued the Captain.

Rose and Jack turned to face one another, holdings hands. They had decided to say their own vows to each other. This was their way of expressing their feelings towards the other. It was unique, just as their love was. Rose began.

"Jack, you came into my life when I thought there was not way out. You saved me, when I thought I was unsavable. You brought me back to feeling alive again. You got beneath my skin and embedded yourself so deep, that you are now my life line. Without you, I don't exist. I promise to stand by you and for you in good times and in bad times. I promise to trust and keep you safe in all ways possible. But above all, I love you and you alone Jack Dawson." Rose then stood on her tip toes and gave Jack a light kiss on the lips before squeezing his hands in reassurance back.

"Rose, when I first saw you I knew my life had been meaningless up until that point. It was like taking my first breath all over again. You gave me a reason to get up each morning and to want to settle down and have a family. You are my light, my paper, subject and charcoal. My life is now filled beyond capacity. I want to explore each new day by your side. I promise to keep you safe, trust in all you do, honour your decisions and grow in your strength. Above all else, I promise to love you until my dying day." Jack then took a deep breath and gave Rose the biggest grin he could manage.

"Thank you Rose and Jack. With these promises you have made to each other, I bind together in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. With the authority given to me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Friends, may I introduce Mr and Mrs Jack Dawson." completed the Captain, with his arms extended towards the couple.

The entire chapel erupted in applause and Jack gave Rose the biggest kiss he could, given that they were in public. Fabrizio then slapped his friends back, while Ruth once more hugged her daughter. Tommy also joined in the congratulations, by thanking the Captain for his time and patience.
