Penelope grinned, arching an eyebrow at her own reflection. Coming closer to the large mirror, she slid her coral lipstick across her lips. "Baby, you look gorgeous"

"What are you doing?" Jennifer wondered with her brow furrowed in mild surprise.

"In the self-help book I am reading says it's very important talk to yourself about how awesome your body is" she explained, placing her tight red dress properly on her curves. "It raises your self-esteem"

"I wish I was that cool" The other woman shook her head as abusing the couch cushions. Her empire cut red dress, it moved languidly every step she took, on the verge of hysterics.

"Where have hidden those damned rings?" Jennifer mumbled, throwing an accusing glance at her friend "Leave that lovely talk and come help me"

"The rings have no legs" Penelope said as she closed her lipstick "They must be somewhere"

"I know that they are somewhere" Jennifer placed her hands on her small waist, dropping her head miserably. She bit her lower lip, as her blue eyes rested on her little boy.

He had his hands trapped between his knees, his eyes lost in any corner of the room. "You know where Spence's rings are?"

Henry shook his head slowly. Then he looked at his godmother stroking her loose hair. Jennifer turned around to see her friend and rolled her eyes upward. Leave it to Penelope, drawing attention everywhere.

"Why would your child know about these damn rings?"

"Damn Rings" Henry repeated with a hearty laugh, covering his mouth with one hand. "That's a bad word"

Penelope smiled softly, sitting next to him "Yes, sweetie. That's such a bad word. Better not repeat it"

The little boy smiled, but he looked really edgy. Jennifer knew that her son wasn't a naughty boy. In fact, he was an angel. But the way in which Henry avoided her gaze, it was highly suspicious. Something that not escaped to a profiler like herself.

"Have you hidden the golden rings, Henry?" Jennifer asked softly but firmly. He slightly lifted the corners of his lips, obviously admitting defeat, before nodding his head. Penelope touched his cheek, cupping his chin in the palm of her hand. "Why did you do that, sweetie?"

"Because if my uncle Spence marries Maeve, then he'll have a baby very soon" his blue eyes moistened somewhat "So he's not going to love me anymore"

"Honey, listen to me" Jennifer said, smiling sweetly at her little three year old "He'll love you forever. No matter how many babies he may have someday. Your uncle Spence will never stop loving you" she raised her eyebrows , pointing to her friend "Both he and Penelope will always be by your side"

Henry shrugged his shoulders, grinning at the two women "I love them, too"

"Oh, it's a shame that you're not a man in his thirties" Penelope teased, leaving a loud kiss on his soft cheek "You're so lovely"

Jennifer chuckled, taking the hand of her son, "Where are they?"

"In the fridge"

_You May Not Kiss The Bride_

Penelope blinked quickly, smiling at the touching scene. Jennifer squeezed her hand, her eyes filled with happiness tears. Henry walked steadily, to the improvised aisle. The boy threw a bright smile to his proud father. Will greeted his boy giving him thumbs up.

That was not a normal wedding. They were not in an ostentatious church, with stylishly dressed guests. Spencer had decided that their wedding would be something special, something to remember.

The couple had decided to marry in Dave Rossi's cabin, with the blessing of his older friend. The place was beautiful, in the woods, along a sparkling lake.

"You have arrived late" Derek whispered, still looking forward, just where the bride and groom were standing. Aaron Hotchner on his right, Elisabeth Reynolds on her left.

"Thank you, I had not noticed," Penelope replied sarcastically, hitting her best friend's nape. "Where were you half an hour ago, when I called you on the verge of a nervous breakdown?"

He leaned toward her, whispering in her ear "Reid was going through a nervous breakdown. And I'm sorry, baby girl, but his case was more important"

Jennifer looked at her two friends with a frown, then shook her head with a slight laugh. Those two really were a special case!. She hugged her husband, looking adoringly at her little son. Henry looked at his godfather placing a gold ring on his wife's finger, a big smile on his face.

"You may kiss the bride" the reverend said solemnly, smiling to the newlyweds.

Spencer placed his hands around her waist. Maeve raised her hands to his neck, a notable red gracing her cheeks.

Penelope and Jennifer exchanged a knowing look, then the two girlfriends burst out laughing. Only both of them knew 'The Rings Odyssey'.

The guests rose from their plastic chairs, beautifully decorated with white orchids, wishing to congratulate the happy couple.

"Well..." Spencer shrugged his shoulders, smiling nervously, "I am now a married man"

The two women jumped on him, melting into a tender embrace. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, kissing Jennifer's forehead, and then Penelope's cheek. "You girls are the best"

"Oh, come on" Derek teased, smiling at his friends "These women already have a sufficiently high ego. Don't overfeed the monster"

Aaron shook his head, watching his team members enjoying a shared happiness. He smiled slightly, raising his glass of champagne. "I would like to say a few words"

Everyone turned to look at Aaron. His dark eyes rested on his younger friend. Spencer was still nervous, his hands in the pockets of his dark trousers.

"There is a biblical passage that I've always liked" Aaron began to speak, opening an old Bible that was on top of the table, which served as a pulpit minutes before "And I'd love to share it with you all, especially with Maeve and Spencer "

Maeve smiled softly, resting her head on her husband's shoulder. Derek, Dave, Penelope, Alex, and Jennifer, each and every one of them, looked expectantly at their boss. He was a private man, rarely showed signs of his, moreover, undeniable affection for his team.

"Proverbs, chapter thirty. There are three things that amaze me. No, four things that I don't understand: how an eagle glides through the sky, how a sneake slithers on a rock, how a ship navigates the ocean, how a man loves a woman"

"Maeve, I know what Spencer Reid loves you and will make you a very happy woman. He will give you a happy life, full of blessings and good times. But above all, a life full of love. Congratulations"

Aaron looked at the sparse crowd, raised his glass of champagne and said with a smile: "Long live the newlyweds!"

"And the bridesmaids!" Penelope said, raising her own glass. Jennifer placed her arm around her best friend's shoulders, raising her fist in the air "Yeah! We are the best!"
