Firefighter's Love Stops St. Pat's Parade

Love stopped the Rockaway St. Patrick's Day Parade this past Saturday. Firefighter William Smith (Ladder 154 of the Far Rockaway "Big House"), marching with his Battalion, stopped and broke rank in front of St. Camillus Church. He knelt in front of Jillian Ruffino and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. He presented her with an exquisite diamond engagement ring in front of friends, family and parade watchers. Ruffino cried with joy as she said "YES, Yes, Yes." The crowd roared, the pipers played and the champagne popped. Father Dunn was there and gave the happy couple his blessing.
