Hey! So this is a joint account for a story written by CeeCee333 and evgrrl09...let us know what you think!
"Kids," Ted began to his two children, "did I ever tell you the story of how in the spring of 2013 your Uncle Barney was accused of being a serial killer?"
Usually his daughter and his son complained about having to hear the stories he had about his past and how he met their mother, but now they looked interested. "People thought Uncle Barney was a serial killer?" his son blurted.
"Did he get arrested?" his daughter asked frantically.
He couldn't suppress his smile. Finally he was telling a story that held their interest. "Well, it's a funny story, one filled with FBI agents, romance, and action. And at the end of this story, I was in the same place as your mother for a brief period of time."
"Wait, FBI agents? Like Mr. and Mrs. Morgan? You know, Uncle Barney's friends?" his son asked, completely ignoring the fact that his mother would be coming up at some point.
"This story is actually when I first met them," he explained. "And in the mix, I also dated an FBI agent who worked with them at one point. There is so much to this story that has yet to be told. Without it, there are so many things that would not be the same today. So, I'm going to tell you what happened. It all began one spring night for us..."

The sun was streaming down through the trees that lined the seating of the wedding. Usually weddings had something that went wrong. A few cracked plates, missing flowers, a groom accidentally shaving off the hair on the top of his head. However, this one, this one was perfect. Every single detail had fallen seamlessly into place. Both the ring bearers were standing at the back of rows of seats, their fathers helping them straighten their small bow ties.
"There," the younger boy's father said. "You both look rather -"
"Dashing!" the other boy's mother said, coming up behind them all. She moved her dark auburn hair behind her shoulders and leaned down to kiss her son's forehead. "Marvin, you look wonderful!" She smiled at the other boy. "Jace, you look great too!"
Jace's mother came up behind her husband and leaned her head on his arm. She smiled at her son and Marvin. "You both look so handsome!" Her eyes drifted up to her husband and the other man. "And I would say you both look handsome as well."
"Well, it's not everyday you get to see one of your Bros get married," Marvin's father said. "And if you're one of three best men, it's important to look your best." He put his arm around his wife and kissed her temple.
The string quartet began to play a gentle tune and both men planted kisses on their wives' cheeks. "Well, that's our cue to to get into place! You, too, ladies."
Both women leaned down to kiss their sons and nodded. "You boys remember what to do, right?" the auburn haired woman asked.
Jace and Marvin looked up and nodded vigorously. "We're ready!"
"Let's hope the bride and groom are, too," Jace's father said. He and Marvin's father went to stand by the groom, while the women went to join the bride who they would be walking down the aisle in front of. As the music began in full tune, the young boys started down the aisle as they had practiced the night before at rehearsal.
The procession began down the aisle and everyone's eyes moved towards the beautiful woman coming down the aisle. Her eyes latched on to the gaze of the groom and a soft smile played upon her petal pink lips. She smiled wider when they were facing each other and he took her hands in his. In his eyes she could see the love and devotion he held her for her.
It was that look in his eyes that made her believe that maybe, just maybe her fears from beforehand had been irrational. That look made her know that any fears she might have had were now irrelevant; she would go forward with her husband into the future.
Their future.
