Here Comes the Bride...Again.

Chapter One


It had been two months since Nichols had kidnapped Temperance and Booth had come to her rescue.

Booth had gotten his job back after he managed to locate Nichols and find that he was working in cahoots with Agent Cameron.

They had tried to move on with their life and Booth managed to move his belongings into Temperance's apartment in no time at all.

Angela had been very eager to plan her best friends wedding and that was all Temperance had heard about since Angela had found out they were getting remarried.

The big day would be here before they knew it and both were more nervous then they had anticipated. They set a date for June 23rd and neither realized how quickly that day would come. Being June 16th they had one week left.

Temperance had been drug from shop to shop in an attempt to find the perfect dress. Angela had told her that when she found 'the one' she would know it. Surprisingly, Angela was right. Temperance found a dress that might have been somewhat untraditional but when she saw it she knew it was the one. Upon trying it on, her suspicions were confirmed.

The dress had an off the shoulder top that scooped down just low enough as to leave enough up to the imagination. The sleeves were short and went to just above her elbows. The tight-fitting bodice was beaded in a unique pattern that gave the dress just enough sparkle to catch your eye but didn't make her feel out of place. The bottom of the gown flared out with just a hit of a train to follow her feet. The untraditional part of the dress was in the color. It wasn't stark white as most women wear; no Temperance was not like most women. The dress was deep navy blue and set off the color of her eyes.

The made of honor and the bridesmaids were going to wear a dress a floor length gown that was a cream color with a blue sash. They were strapless and very traditional. Temperance had chosen Angela to be the made of honor which of course she was thrilled about. She had also asked Cam and Booth's sister, Stephanie, to be bridesmaids.

Cam had been a little apprehensive at first but gave in knowing that this made Booth happy. She always knew it was his Bones that had made him happy and she wanted Booth to be happy.

Booth was going to wear a black tuxedo with a blue vest and tie while his best man and groomsman wore a black tuxedo with a blue comber bun and bowties. He had asked his brother, Jared, to be the best man and he had chosen Hodgins and Zack as his groomsmen.

Parker was of course the ring barer and he had a tux, vest, and tie to match his father and Angela's five year old niece, Madison, was the flower girl, her dress resembled Temperance's except it was a boat neck and came to her knees with a bow tied in the back. The pattern of beading was identical to Temperance's and she was adorable.

"One week Ange, just one week. What are we going to do?" Temperance whipped her sweaty palms on jeans and looked at her friend.

"Sweetie, chill out, you were so calm until today. I assure you everything is in order. Your dress is ready for the final fitting tomorrow afternoon; the bridesmaid dresses and Madison's dress are set to be delivered here along with your dress next Friday morning. The decorations will go up Friday night for the rehearsal and then Sid has everything he needs to do for the dinner afterwards at Wong Fu's. Booth assured me all the tuxes were to be picked up Thursday night and they have already tried them on to make sure there are no problems. Everything is fine sweetie, I have this under control." Angela smiled at her friend. She had never seen her so worried about anything in her life.

"You're right." Brennan took a deep breath.

"It's not like you have never done this before Bren."

"I know but this time it is in front of everyone. Booth's family is going to be here. Dad and Russ are coming. There is still a worry that Booth will arrest him and if he doesn't Cullen is sure to."

"Sweetie, Booth assured you it would be fine. You don't need to worry about this. All you are going to do is make yourself sick. I do have one surprise for you though."

"Ange, you have already one so much, you don't need to do anything else. Plus you know I hate surprises."

"Yes, but this is more for me, Cam, and Stephanie anyways."

"Great, what are you planning?"

"A Bachelorette Party of course!"

"I don't know what that means."

"You know, a bunch of girls get together on your last night as a single women and eat anatomically designed cake while we watch men dance around naked and get drunk off our asses."

"I don't think so Ange. That doesn't sound like much fun."

"It is, it's a blast, and it's not your choice. I have put your wedding together, you will go to this party and have fun. You owe me. There is no discussion on this. And besides, Hodgins has already gotten with Jared to set up a Bachelor's party of Booth too. So you have no choice dear." Angela looked at Temperance grinning from ear to ear. "Think of it as an anthropological study. You will get to see this sort of right of passage."

Just then Booth walked into Temperance's office. "Hi babe." He kissed her on the cheek.

"You know I never thought I would see the day when she didn't try to hit you for calling her babe. I thought you guys had come to an agreement." Angela laughed.

"We have agreed to disagree. It's like trying to get him to stop calling me Bones, it's pointless."

"Yep." Booth smiled as if he was so proud of himself. "So what right of passage are we discussing today?"

"Something about naked men and cake shaped as body parts."

"Ahhh, a Bachelorette party. I am surprised you told her already Angela. She has a whole week to figure out how to get out of it!"

"You knew about this?" Temperance gave Booth a death stare.

"Yes, they asked me if I was okay with it. I kind of had to say yes since the only way I can get out of my Bachelor's party is to shoot my brother and Hodgins. I wouldn't mind shooting Hodgins but I am kind of attached to my brother."

"So you really want to go to this antiquated ritual before we get married?"

Angela saw where a fight was starting and snuck out of the room unnoticed.

"Are you really that opposed to it? I didn't think it was a big deal Bones. It's what people do before they get married. But look" he took a step towards her and put his arms around her waist pulling her to him "If you don't want to do this we won't. We don't have to do anything we don't want. I would much rather see you naked that night then some strippers."

"Okay, I guess we can go to pacify Angela. She asked me to do it for her and she is done so much."

"Sure Bones, you just want to see naked men dance around huh." He laughed.

"Yeah Booth, that's it." She gave him a mischievous smile and pulled him into a kiss.
