A/N: This was created for the CCOAC June Wedding Bells Challenge. My main characters involved are Spencer Reid and Erin Strauss. The three prompts are: The Bridal Gown, The Wedding Veil and The Honeymoon. Slightly OOC.

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Criminal Minds :(

(Not my first fanfiction, I deleted the others as I didn't like them.)

Spencer Reid sighed as he walked out of the elevator. It was just another day without her. No matter how hard he tried, the young genius could never take his mind off his dead girlfriend.

He quickened his pace as he stepped into the bullpen, wanting only to work, but he stumbled. The case files in his hands were now on the floor, and his entire cup of over-sugared coffee was spilt on one of the scariest people in the FBI. Erin Strauss.

"Doctor Reid! I would greatly appreciate it if you were to watch where you're walking." The section chief cried in a harsh voice.

Upon hearing her snarls, Spencer momentarily forgot about Maeve, only to re-remember and be lonelier than ever.

"S... sorry ma'am. It won't happen again." Spencer whispered, his beautiful eyes brimming with unshed tears.

Seeing how upset her agent was, Strauss decided to go easy on him and change her tone.

"It's okay Dr. Reid. I know you didn't mean it. Off you go now, I don't want to be blamed if you're late for Agent Morgan and Technical Analyst Garcia's announcement." she commented with a smile, knowing that he would enjoy their news.

In the Bullpen.

"We gathered you all here right now to share with you something very important" started Penelope Garcia.

"We're getting married!" finished Derek Morgan, with a grin spread across his face.

Everyone in the room started clapping and cheering. Even Reid couldn't help but smile, especially when Morgan started walking slowly towards him.

"Hey pretty boy" said Derek now slightly frowning.

"Oh, um, hi Morgan. Congratulations to you and Garcia getting engaged."

"Thanks kid. Um, look, I know we've been best friends for a long time now. But I'm sorry, I can't ask you to be my best man. I'm so sorry."

"Ohh, it's okay. I understand." Reid replied slowly. "So who are you asking?"

"Umm... David Rossi."

Reid felt as if he'd been punched in the stomach. He felf so betrayed. So he turned around and ran, ignoring all the calls after him. He didn't know where his was going until he heard a familiar voice from earlier that morning.

"Dr. Reid? Are you alright?" Chief Strauss cautiously asked her agent.

"Morgan doesn't want me to be his best man. Instead he wants Rossi." Spencer whimpered, not knowing why he was telling her this.

"Oh, err. Would you like to take a moment in my office?" she said, not knowing how to handle the situation.

"Yes please." replied Reid, walking into the office with Strauss following behind him.

"So are you felling up to going and facing the music? You can't hide from their wedding in here forever you know." Strauss sighed, breaking the silence held in the room for the past two minutes.

"I know. But I can try"

"Listen Agent Reid, I know it's not just being denied as best man that's putting you in this state. So please tell me, what's wrong Spencer?"

Reid flinched at being called by his first name. "It's just... Today is one whole year since Maeve died. And on each of those days, the only continuous thought I've had is 'Why couldn't I save her? It's all my fault she's dead!' And now Garcia and Morgan are getting married, and Ii am happy for them. Although I can't help but think that if I hadn't been so weak then maybe it could of been Maeve and I walking down the aisle."

"Aww Reid. You're NOT weak." she looked at the young agent, realising his pain and pitying him.

"Ma'am? Why are you being so nice to me today?" queried Spencer.

"Because believe it or not Dr. Reid, I do care about all my agents, you included."

Spencer smiled, "Well thank you for listening to me ma'am." And with that, he left.
