A/N: Follow up number 2 to The Time Out Commitment. It isn't necessary to read that story but it will make sense. This story takes place two months after the Time Out Commitment takes place which happened right after the finale aired. Sheldon and Amy are engaged and now have the task of planning their wedding.
I don't own any of this.
Sheldon and Amy had been engaged for two months. Sheldon was getting impatient because every time he would bring up picking a date, Amy would say they had plenty of time. Sheldon didn't want to wait. He had no intentions of being engaged for a year before they picked a date like Leonard and Penny had done. When Sheldon Cooper got a feeling he knew it and he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with one Amy Farrah Fowler. What he couldn't understand is why she didn't seem in a rush to get this done. She was the one that wanted the commitment from him. And here they were. He had given her the biggest commitment there was and now she didn't seem in rush to get married. He had informed her that she could move in with him after the wedding. They did spend their weekends together. He thought by putting that stipulation of living together she would want the wedding sooner. Maybe just being intimate with each other and spending weekends was enough for her. It wasn't for him. He wanted her in his bed every night and he was going to make it happen. They were having dinner at her apartment when he decided to bring it up again.
"Amy, when do you want to get married?" Sheldon asked for what seemed like the millionth time in two months.
"Why do we need to decide now?" Amy asked him. Amy knew he wanted her in his bed every night. He had told Leonard who in turn told Penny. And of course Penny told Amy. All he had to do was say the word and she would move in with him. But he was insistent on waiting until after the wedding. She wanted him to sweat a bit, but she would marry him tomorrow if he just would admit he wanted her with him.
"Well because we are now engaged and usually when two people get engaged they then get married or at least start planning a wedding. Unless of course you are Penny and Leonard then you wait a year to decide, go to Vegas and come back not married."
"Why is this so important? We have only been engaged two months." Amy said trying to get him to say it.
"I want you to be my wife. Isn't that important enough? Plus you know how I am about closure. We need to have a date." Sheldon said. He couldn't tell her the real reason. She would want to move in right away and then they probably never would get married.
"I should have known. So when would you like to get married?"
"No you are not putting this on me. I want you to have the wedding you want. You get to pick the date, the dresses and the venue. I will show up and be the one at the end of the aisle in the tuxedo. Well if you want me to wear one." Sheldon said.
"If you think I am going to plan this whole wedding myself you are crazy. And don't give me that crap about your mother having you tested. You asked me to marry you. We are in this together. We will make the decisions together."
"Okay you are right."
"Damn straight, I am right." Amy said. "Now when do you want to get married? What kind of wedding do you want? And before you say Star Trek, I am going to say no."
"How about The Flash?" Sheldon said.
"You're kidding right?" Amy said.
"Actually I was thinking the fast part not the actual television show. I swear."
"What do you mean?" They had been engaged for two months, that wasn't fast.
"I mean I want to get married soon. I don't want to wait. You know me. When I get a feeling I know it. And I know I want to marry you. The sooner the better in my opinion." He said. He had already been waiting two months, he needed this done.
"Why so quick?" She said smiling.
"Two months isn't quick." Sheldon said.
"Of course it is. We have been together for five years and now you want to rush into marriage. I want to know your reason."
"I just want to marry you."
"Sheldon. Tell me the truth. We promised no more secrets, remember?" She needed to remind him of the promise they made two months prior.
"Fine. I want you with me. I can't stand just having you in my bed on weekends. I want you with me every single night." He said.
"Well we could live together you know." She said.
"Not until after the wedding. So what do you say? Can we get married soon?"
"Thank you for finally admitting it." Amy said. "Now when should we get married?"
"Wait you knew?" He asked. Then realized that of course she knew. "Penny told you didn't she?"
"It would have been a lot easier if you had told me. We could be married by now." She said.
"How long have you known?" He asked her.
"Since the first time we stayed together on the weekend. You told Leonard that you couldn't sleep without me that following Monday. He was super excited because he thought you would kick him out and have me move in. Then you made that stupid stipulation of us being married before we live together. He told Penny then she told me. We came up with this little plan to make you sweat."
"I should have known." Sheldon said laughing. "So when can we get married?"
"Well we need a little time to plan, so maybe a couple of weeks. It will give us time to get time off for a honeymoon and such."
"Believe me, Siebert will give me as much time off as I want. And if you are taking me away, he will give you the time as well." Sheldon said to her. "You don't want a church wedding do you?" He asked hoping she didn't. He was actually surprised when Penny had announced she wanted one. He had known her for eight years and not once had she ever talked about church. He knew his mother would love him to get married in a church but it was his wedding.
"Of course not. And I know you don't want that. So should we try the courthouse?" Amy asked.
"We tried that with Howard and Bernadette. It seemed too rushed."
"Well that is because they wanted to get married that day. We would have some time to plan before running down to the courthouse." Amy explained.
"That's true, but I don't want to do that anyway." He said.
"What about Vegas?" Amy asked. She knew his answer would be no but thought she would attempt it anyway.
"Really Amy?" He said, but then thought about it some more. "Although…" He started again.
"You would be willing to get married in Vegas?" Amy was shocked.
"No not Vegas, but how about Lake Tahoe? I hear there are some nice chapels there."
"Where did you hear that?" Amy asked suspiciously.
"Okay I didn't hear it, I researched it. Then we could spend are wedding night in a honeymoon suite there and then maybe go to San Francisco for our honeymoon."
"Wow you really did do your research didn't you?" Amy said to him.
"Okay yes. I researched. I was hoping you would agree. It is, and please allow me to be a bit hippy dippy, actually a bit romantic."
"Sheldon Cooper a romantic, who knew?" She laughed.
"Yeah who knew?" Sheldon said. "Now let's pick a date."
"So a couple of weeks. Let's take a look at the calendar." Amy said pulling the one on her phone up. "Today is July 25. If we are looking at two weeks from now, we are looking at August 8. Does that seem acceptable?" Amy asked.
Sheldon looked at the calendar and realized that the following week, August 15 was actually the same date as the anniversary of his grandparents. Since Amy was wearing his Meemaw's ring, it only seemed fitting that they marry on the same date as she did.
"How about August 15?" He asked.
"First you want to rush, now you want to wait an extra week? Why?" Amy asked.
"August 15 is my grandparent's anniversary. It seems fitting since you are wearing Meemaw's ring…"
"Yes." She said.
"So August 15 in Lake Tahoe?" He asked.
"Sounds like we have a plan." She said.
"Good." He said to her and pulled her in for a long kiss.
Okay there is the introduction. Now we have three weeks to plan a wedding. Who will they invite and what could possible go wrong?
If you liked it please leave a review, if you didn't please leave a review...I can handle it. I will try and update regularly. I think this will be no more than 10 chapters. maybe not even that many. We will see.
