-1Derek couldn't believe this was happening. He was actually an intern. Who would of thought that'd he make it this far. It seemed like it was forever ago that he actually started college. He laughed as he thought back through his first half of his first shirt. There wasn't too many women here who hadn't tried to hit on him. He would normally just shake his said, or at least respond to something they said, but then he would mention his wife, or scratch his nose so they could see the wedding band on his left finger. He felt like a sad man, it had only been 24 house, half of his first shift, and he missed her like crazy. He thought back to the day they said their vows.
He was standing at the front of the church shaking like a mad man. He was so nervous. It took him four years to get Meredith to say she would marry him and he sure as hell hoped she didn't back out now. Mark stood next to him, along with Ryan, his brother-in-law, and his other friend Jake. Jake, Mark, and himself had grown up together. Mark and him were definitely closer, but Jake had always been around. When Derek and Mark decided to go to med school, Jake decided to enter law school. They remained close still.
That reminded Derek, he needed to call Jake soon and just see how his internship at the firm was going. Anyways,
Derek was almost so nervous he wanted to throw up. He hadn't seen her in over 24 hours and he was going crazy. He just needed to make sure she knew he loved her. Gosh, he was so excited. In less than an hour, hopefully, they'd be married and on their way to the reception, that Derek hoped didn't last to long, because he had other things in mind he wanted to do with his new bride. Finally, Derek saw the doors to the back of the church, and he looked over at his mom who was in tears. He saw his niece Savannah smile and walk towards him. He smiled back and nodded to her to continue. She was followed by his nephew Josh, who happily ran down the aisle to stand beside Jake. The kids were followed by Meredith's bridesmaids, Izzie, Sarah, and finally Christina. Then the organ began to play the Bridal march as everyone turned towards the back of the church just in time to see Meredith… God, she was breath taking. Derek fell in love with her again in that one moment. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever laid eyes on. The ceremony went by in a blur, he wasn't even sure he said his vows correctly, he just knew Meredith was there, and they were really doing this. Wow! Finally the preacher said "Derek, you may kiss your bride," and before he could finish the sentence, Meredith was in his arms and everything felt surreal. He was lost in their kiss, when he finally heard the crowd begin to chuckle. He pulled back and just looked at Meredith and he knew that he could never not love her. He grabbed her and with the biggest smile on his face, her face a mirror image of his and the preacher announced for the first time Mr. & Mrs. Derek Sheppard.
As Derek laid there he couldn't believe that in two weeks that moment was a whole two years ago. What had happened to all that time. It felt like just yesterday. With these thoughts Derek drifted to sleep, hoping that his pager wouldn't go off so he could just get a little sleep.
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when there's silver in your hair Y
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page
My love won't age at all
