Saturday, the Nineteenth of May

Two Thousand and Twelve
Five o'clock in the evening

The twentieth of May.

Today was the day both Teagan and Archie would join their lives together forever.

As she was making sure one last time that her tiara and veil were staying put, she caught a glimpse of Chloe and her mother in the mirror helping the bridesmaids (Lindsey, Alexis, Kate, Mandy, and Wendy) with their makeup making Teagan smile.

Life was going well for Chloe. Not only had she found a job with a PR agency in Reno but once Teagan had introduced her and Greg after their graduation ceremony and just like her and Archie the rest was history.

Kate and her dad were happy as well. Two and half months after the honeymoon, they had announced they were expecting and the month prior to her wedding she became big sister again to Johanna Alixandra Castle.

When Teagan was satisfied with the head piece, she waited with them for their cue. As Teagan waited, she reflected on a few moments from hers and Archie's relationship.

One of the reflections was after their first time.

-July 8,2011-

Teagan and Archie chatted with the guests for a little while and it was time send Kate and Rick off on their honeymoon.

Once they had left, Teagan and Archie danced on last time before leaving unnoticed and went up to their suite as the other guests continued to party.

As soon as they had arrived at their luxurious suite, they couldn't contain themselves any longer.

They had been a promise to each other to wait for the right time to becoming physically intimate.

The moment they stepped in door, Archie put the sign on the door knob, closed the door he pulled his fiancée in. They looked deeply into each other's eyes, he tilted his head, leaned in, and captured her lips with his and soon were making out intensely.

When air became a necessity, they came apart and with his arms around her holding her close Archie whispered into her ear, "Did I mention how beautiful you looked in your dress?"

"Mmhmm yes you have sweetheart," Teagan said softly.

The brief moment of looking at each other was all it takes for the two of them to begin undressing each other.

As soon as they helped each other out of their formal wear, Teagan saw for the first time Archie's buff body which stirred up something within her; when Archie saw Teagan's body he felt equally alive.

It didn't take long before both were completely undressed and with protection on Teagan and Archie were entangled with each other doing the horizontal rumba.

Teagan knew that she would never forget that beautiful first night they made love. Teagan also knew there would be many more great moments to come and also felt Sam's spirit with her.

Meanwhile in the Groom's dressing area, Archie was reading over his vows one last time making sure it sounded absolutely perfect when he thought of their ending of their first date.

July, 2005

Archie had just walked Teagan to the door after their successful first date getting to know each other.

"I had a great time tonight," began Teagan blushing.

"As did I," said Archie pausing briefly and added, "Well I will call you?"

Teagan nodded. The guy in front of her made her lightheaded.

Right as Teagan turned to unlock the door and go in the house Archie said, "Teagan wait."

No sooner had Teagan turned around to face Archie, he said, "I usually don't do this right away but…"

Archie placed his hands on Teagan's face and pulled her in for a kiss.

Surprised and eyes bugged Teagan quickly came out of her shock and kissed him back.

They had made out briefly when the light turned on and the door opening without them noticing.

Catherine smiled as she saw the scene unfolding; Teagan and Archie are so cute together it reminded her of her kiss with Teagan's birth father; at least with Teagan it won't turn out the same the way. However, she couldn't help but do one thing every parent does.

"Ehmm," voiced Catherine, which caused Teagan and Archie to jump apart like teenagers caught doing something they shouldn't.

Teagan turned around and said timidly, "Hi mom."

Catherine only smiled as Teagan bid Archie good night before darting past Catherine towards her room.

Catherine looked at Archie and said, "I only ask one thing of you, don't hurt her because if I find out there will a trouble, do you understand?"

"Yes I do Cath, I promise I will never hurt Teagan," said Archie because he knew how Greg, Warrick, Grissom, and Nick had become protective of Teagan.

Archie was still deep in thought when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Well today is one of the best days of your life, son," said his stepfather, Erik.

Erik was the father Archie grew up knowing following the death of his birth father who died in a car accident when he was two.

Erik then added "Cherish each moment you have with her, she is a wonderful young woman."

"Thanks dad."

Then there was a knock on the door and the wedding planner, Meghan Corio announced, "Time for the groom and the groomsmen to line up at the altar."

Archie took a deep breath and he and his groomsmen went to take their places.
