Spinnie romance
Authors note: Hi! So this is my first Spinnie story. I was encouraged to write this by giggles811 because the name Spike kept popping up all over the place and giggles811 and I are convinced it is a sign that I need to write a Spinnie story, so I have, also, parts of the speeches I found online but I changed them a bit and added some bits, but enough from me, on with the story!

"Hey," said Spike coming up to Winnie's desk and leaning on it, "you busy tonight?"
"No..." said Winnie looking around before leaning up and kissing her quickly on the lips "why?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go out for dinner tonight and then come back to my place?"
"Yeah, sounds great." she looked around once more and kissed him softly, breaking away just before Ed turned the corner.
"Cool, I'll pick you up at 6." He said turning to Ed "Hey Eddie."
"Hey Spike, what are you two talking about?"
"Nothing, just chatting." Replied Winnie just before the phone rang "Police Strategic Response Unit," she answered "Team one gear up! Suspicious package found in Paradise Square!"
"Babycakes!" Shouted Spike throwing his arms in the air and running off to get Babycakes whilst the others grabbed their gear.
That evening at exactly 6 o clock, Spike knocked on Winnie's door with a bunch of red roses for her.
"Hi!" she said opening the door.
"Hey," said Spike handing her the flowers "these are for you."
"Aww, Spike, you didn't have to get me flowers but thank you, they're beautiful! Let me just go and put them in some water and we'll be ready to go." Spike nodded and closed the front door behind him.
"So where are we going tonight?" called Winnie from the kitchen.
"Nope, that's a surprise!" said Spike coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.
"That's not fair!" said Winnie pouting as she turned in his arms and kissed him passionately. When they broke away, Winnie grabbed her bag and they left for the restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant a waiter showed them to their seats and handed them a menu each.
"Spike," started Winnie, "this is my favourite restaurant. How did you get a reservation, it's always fully booked."
"Anything for you Win." was his only reply. He looked at her and smiled, taking her hand and bringing to his lips, kissing it softly before leaning across the table and kissing her in the lips. Winnie, who wasn't one for PDA, blushed slightly. After they had ordered dinner and it had been served and they had eaten, the waiter came back over with dessert menus. They chose what they wanted and order. Spike suddenly went silent, which Winnie found odd as he had been so talkative during the meal.
"You ok babe?" She asked taking his hand.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, it's just, uh, Win, I, uh..."
"Yeah..." Winnie prompted
"Well, I uh, I need to ask you a question Winnie." He finally said and she nodded for him to continue. Spike cleared his throat before starting his speech.
"Ok so, we've know each for what, almost ten years now and we've been dating for four and those four years have been the best four years of my life Win and uh, I love you so, so much so Winnie Camden," at this point he got down on one knee in front of Winnie and pulled a ring box out of his pocket. He opened the box and looked up at Winnie who had tears in her eyes and her hand over her mouth, "Winnie Camden, will you marry me?" The people sitting at the table next to them gasped and stared.
"Yes.." Winnie whispered "yes, yes, yes!" She said louder this time. Spike took the ring out of the box and put it in her finger before getting up and kissing her passionately. When the waiter came over to ask of they still wanted dessert the declined and Spike asked for the bill. He paid for the meal before leaving the restaurant with his fiancé. As soon as they were in the car the began kissing again, lets just say that dessert was forgotten that evening.
Exactly a year later, Spike and Winnie were getting married and were currently standing at the altar saying their wedding vows. Winnie was wearing a simple floor length, strapless dress and the bridesmaids, light blue dresses. Sam was Spike's best man and Jules was Winnie's maid of honour.
"I, Michaelangelo Scarlatti, take you Winnie Camden to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow, and forever. I will trust you and honour you I will laugh with you and cry with you. I will love you faithfully through the best and the worst, through the difficult and the easy. What may come I will always be there. As I have given you my hand to hold So I give you my life to keep So help me God." Said Spike placing the wedding ring on Winnie's finger.
"I, Winnie Camden, take you Michaelangelo Scarlatti, to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow, and forever I will trust you and honor you I will laugh with you and cry with you. I will love you faithfully Through the best and the worst, Through the difficult and the easy. What may come I will always be there. As I have given you my hand to hold So I give you my life to keep So help me God." Said Winnie placing the other wedding ring on Spike's finger.
"You may kiss the bride!" Said the priest and Mrs Winnie Scarlatti and Mr Michaelangelo Scarlatti kissed for the first time as a married couple. In the front row, both Winnie and Spike's mums wiped away their tears of happiness as they watched the two people they loved most in the world get married.
Later that day, at the wedding reception, Sam was making his speech. "It's such a great honour, to have been chosen as Spike's best man, a sign of our friendship and it means a great deal to be asked. Firstly, on behalf of everyone here I would like to say congratulations to Spike and Winnie and to thank you both for making us all…. take the day off work to be here. Anyone here like me who has been lucky enough to spend time in their company knows what a great couple they are together, perfectly complementing each other.
Looking back over the past few years, we have had so many good times, like all the 'birthday surprises' such as filling my vest with whipped cream and putting a cat in Ed's locker. Sorry about that Ed, I'm partly to blame for that too!" Everyone laughed at this point and Sam waited for the laughter to die down before continuing. "Also, I just wanted to say Spike, that Lou and your dad would be so proud of you and would be so happy that you are marrying the love of your life. I think I can speak on behalf of everyone, especially team one, that we knew this day was coming as soon as Spike asked Winnie out on a date. It's funny to think that not too long ago, Spike didn't even have the courage to ask Winnie out, then when he finally did and they started going out, even though they didn't tell us, we knew, yet here we are now with them married.
All that remains for me to do is to ask you to stand and join me in wishing Mr and Mrs Scarlatti a long, prosperous and happy life together. Ladies and gentlemen please raise your glasses – to the Bride & Groom."
It was Greg's turn next.
"Hi everyone, after a special request from both Winnie and Spike, I'm also going to be making a speech this evening. I don't really know what to say, I'm no good at speeches, they always sound too cheesy but here it goes anyway. I've know both Spike and Winnie for many years and it has been a great pleasure working with both of you. As Sam said, we knew right from the start that you two were dating, even though you didn't tell us, the quick glances at each other and the kisses when you thought no one was looking, a bit like what Sam and Jules were like actually! Anyway, as anyone who is married here will know, marriages are built on teamwork and I'm sure Spike and Winnie will work as a wonderful team in the future. Spike will wear the trousers in the relationship... but Winnie will tell him which ones to wear! Over the years, I've gotten to know Spike well and he's become just like a son to me. Disrespectful, always answering me back an always leaving things lying around the locker room. Over the years I've also gotten to know Winnie well and she is like a daughter to me. Both Winnie and Spike are two of the kindest and thoughtful young people that I have ever met and I wish them all the happiness in the world. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen please raise your glasses for Winnie and Spike."
Spike was up next and stood to give his speech.
"Hi, I would just like to thank everyone for being here today and say that in sorry to disappoint if you were expecting me to sing my wedding speech, however I'm not Tom Fletcher (AN: from McFly incase you don't know) so I won't be singing, I'll just stick to a traditional speech if that's ok! Firstly, we'd like to thank Sam ad Greg for their kind words and good wishes. And to thank Samtastic for paying for this lovely reception …(pause and look at him) What? I thought you said….No I'm only joking! It's lovely to see so many of our family and friends here today to help us celebrate the happiest day of our lives. I know that some of you have travelled a long way to be here and that means a lot to us. It really wouldn't be the same without you all. Unfortunately, it's not been possible to have everyone we love here with us today, but we know they're here with us in spirit and they're not only in our thoughts today, but more importantly they're with us in our hearts. So, with them in mind, would you please all stand, raise your glasses, and join me in a toast to absent family and friends. Finally, I would like to thank my beautiful wife – I think I'm going to enjoy getting used to saying that – for agreeing to marry me and for making me the happiest man in the world. I think you'll agree that she looks absolutely gorgeous today and when she walked down the aisle, she took my breath away. They say you don't marry someone you can live with - you marry the person who you can't live without and I think that sums us up perfectly. Now if I had to single out one thing about why I love Winnie so much, it would be the fact that she makes me happier than I ever dreamed I could be. And I intend to spend the rest of my life making sure that the reverse is also true. Having lived with Winnie for a couple of years now, I have learned a valuable lesson – when I'm wrong, admit it. When I'm right, keep quiet! Seriously though, I never have a problem finding the words to express my love for Winnie but if I start then I probably won't be able to stop. Winnie, I love you so much and I can't wait to grow old with you. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand and raise your glasses to my wife, Winnie."
