Beth and Rip’s wedding day didn’t exactly go according to plan. As they stood before her father, John Dutton, the emotions of the moment were palpable, but not without some rough edges. Rip, ever the man of few words, nervously stumbled through his vows, pouring his heart out in the only way he knew how. “I take Beth Dutton to be my lawful wedded wife,” he declared, with all the sincerity one would expect from the man who had endured years of turmoil and pain.

Beth, always the fiery spirit, countered with her own vows—brief, direct, and packed with raw emotion. “To honor and to love, to cherish through everything until I die… and then somehow longer, baby.” The intensity of the moment wasn’t lost on Rip, but as the ceremony continued, an unexpected surprise surfaced.

Before Beth could finish her vows, a sudden realization hit: they didn’t have rings. Rip, ever resourceful, produced his mother’s ring—an heirloom passed down, symbolizing a deep connection to the past and to the woman he loved. The gesture was heartfelt, though far from the typical grand gestures seen at most weddings.

As the ceremony concluded with Rip and Beth officially becoming husband and wife, the real shock came: “Don’t worry, I won’t press charges,” Beth casually mentioned to her father, John Dutton. The reason? She’d kidnapped the minister at gunpoint to make the ceremony happen. “It was just a little one,” she joked, adding that she needed him to get there somehow.
