February 24, 1995
This wedding day was filled with surprises. A falling chandelier was not nearly as shocking as Alice Horton speaking up to bring the ceremony to a halt. She was convinced that recently arrived Gina was really Hope and, therefore, her granddaughter was still legally married to Bo. The priest refused to continue the ceremony until it was clear Bo was not already wed. After Gina filed the proper legal documents declaring Hope legally dead, Bo and Billie married. Their wedding vows:
From Bo:
I, Bo, take you, Billie, to be my wife to have and to hold forever. They say that love is the light that lights the world and that kindness paves the road to happiness. You and I have traveled kind of a long and winding road. On a snowy mountainside we pledged our love and our faith and our fidelity to each other. We felt God's presence that night just like we feel God's presence tonight in this rebuilt church. I promise to love, and to honor, and to cherish you all the rest of the Days of Our Lives.
From Billie:
I, Billie, take you, Bo, to be my husband to have and to hold forever. The road that we traveled has had some darkness and some despair but our faith and our love, and our faith that we were meant to be together lighted our way. I will not only be a wife to you. I will be your friend and soul-mate. I'll share your sadness and your sorrows as well as your happiness. I promise to love, honor, and cherish you for all the Days of Our Lives.
Gina ultimately regained her memory and realized her true identity as Hope. Bo divorced Hope so that he could really marry Billie, but she decided it was best to leave town. She wanted Bo to decide for himself who he loved more. She took a job that kept her traveling through Europe.
