Prolouge: How It Began

-May 18, 2010-

After the religious sacraments Minister Delacroix announced, "It is time for the vows that Stella and Nick have chosen to write and to recite."

With a smile on her face Arella said, "Go ahead Stella."

With a bright smile on her face and mists in her eyes, she squeezed Nick's hands and said, "Nick, my love, I have been looking for you for a long time. Before I met you I felt like I was traveling around in the dark and had not been able to find the one for me. Right as I was about to give up a you were the bright shining star that made me see again. I have not left your side since and I promise I never will. On this day I vow always to stay true to you and always work things out even when we fuss and fight. I will take care of you in sickness and always have your back. And Nick, I will trust in you and will always know you have my best interest in your heart. A heart that is full and rich with love, generosity, and caring beyond all the universe. You are the most marvelous person inside and out and I am the lucky one because you have already given me everything I have ever wanted... I love you.

Nick beamed his infectious smile and began saying his vow, "Stella, you renewed my life and I thank God every day that you were brought into my life, for blessing meeting my perfect match but my one true love. On this our wedding day I want to make a promise to you, I promise to provide for you, protect you, cherish our friendship and to always be worthy of your trust and love. Today I proudly join that life with yours. I thank you for loving me and commit myself to you today, tomorrow, and forever."

After the vows were said, the rings blessed and exchanged and the benediction give Minister Delacroix said, "With their love for each other clearly shown and with the powers vested in me in the State of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Nick, you may kiss your bride."

Nick smiled his beautiful smile and after cradling Stella's neck he sweetly kissed his bride.

-Three and half years earlier, early 2007, NYC-

This all began two years when their stars met up and the rest was history.

It was after a long day and a tough and heartbreaking case solved that involved the FBI (the father who as it turned out was wanted by the FBI for the murder of an agent) and Vegas CSI they were now celebrating the closing of the case where the bad guy was where he belonged, in jail where he would never see the light of say ever again.

Stella watched as Mac chatted/flirted with the FBI agent sent over from DC, Special Agent Josephine 'Jo' Danville and she smiled at how Mac was at ease as compared to a couple of months ago when Peyton dumped him through a 'Dear John' letter and experiencing the terror of being stalked and threats from Drew Bedford who was there to avenge his older brother's death.

As she kept an eye on her best friend one thought went through her mind, "Man it has been a long time since I have been laid. When will I ever find the one for me? Wait why do I have those thoughts? I should be happy for Mac."

It was sad that she was sitting there by herself but not for long; suddenly she heard a southern drawl coming from behind her, "Hey beautiful can I buy you a drink?"

When Stella turned around and came face to face with Nick Stokes the criminalist from the crime lab in Vegas; he was here to get the same guy for assaulting his ex-wife who was the mother of his daughter.

Stella and Nick began chatting and got to know each other, like Stella finding how Nick was from a big family and Nick finding out that she was orphaned at a young age. When she found out that he was going to be in NYC until middle of the next day before flying back to Vegas she volunteered to be Nick's tour guide and show him around—since she was on call the next day. They exchanged numbers and decided to meet up at the hotel he was staying at in the morning to start the tour.

After they had all gone home for the night, Stella was feeling positive that this could be the start of a possible relationship.
