Okay, so this is my first fanfiction story, please let me know what you think!
Disclaimer: I don't own the story or characters of the show Castle.
"Today is the day…." Thought Kate Beckett, as she rolled over in her bed. She looked at the clock sitting on her nightstand. It was eight am and her alarm had just gone off. She had to meet Lanie, Alexis, and Martha at the salon to get their hair done at nine thirty.
She groaned as she got out of bed and stumbled into her bathroom. "Great. I'm getting married today and I look like I got hit by a train." She looked carefully at herself in to mirror. Other than the thirty minutes after she took those sleeping pills, Kate hadn't slept a wink last night. The bags under her eyes were the proof. She was so nervous. Yes, she loved Castle and yes, she wanted more than anything to marry him, but that didn't excuse the fact that she was scared. She wanted everything to be perfect today. She was a one and done kind of girl and this was her one and done day. But it wasn't just about her. Kate wanted her mom to look down on her from heaven and be proud of the woman that she had become. At least she hoped her mother was proud. Kate was the green age of nineteen when her mother was murdered. Barely an adult, Kate was a girl trying to find her way in life. She admired her mother so much and wanted to follow in her footsteps to become a lawyer. But her fate changed the day her mother was stabbed in cold blood. After that day Kate made it her life goal to take down then person who had her mother killed. Her life has taken many turns in the process, one of which was Richard Castle waltzing into her life. She was immediately attracted to him, although she would never admit it. But at the time she was still searching for herself, trying to bring justice to her mother's murder. Castle was always there for her, support and encouragement he gave, not to mention the several times he saved her life, another thing she was not willing let him smirk over! If it wasn't for Castle, she would of never made it as far as she did researching and pursuing her mother's murder. And if it wasn't for the progress she made on the murder, she would of never been dangling for dear life on the edge of that building, and she would have never realized how much she loved and wanted Castle in her life.
And now she had him. Forever. Well as long as she made it to her hair appointment….."Shoot! I'm going to be late!" It was now nine fifteen. Kate quickly splashed some water on her face, threw a tank, sweats, and hoodie on and rushed out the door.
