The Wedding of Derek Christopher Shepherd & Meredith Ann Grey
~August 8th, 2009~
Derek Shepherd could not wait for the wedding to begin.
He was dressed in his tuxedo and so were his groomsmen, they were ready for the ceremony to begin…Derek being more anxious then anyone.
Meredith Grey had waited for this day all her life. I'm finally getting my dream come true Meredith thought as she slipped into her wedding gown.
It was 7:00 PM.
Time for her to walk down the aisle
Meredith walked out of her prep room and saw the gorgeous sunset on the beach
Richard approached her as she was ready to walk down the aisle.
She watched all of the wedding party begin their walk down the aisle and now it was her turn.
She heard the calm waves crashing and started walking.
She saw Derek at the end of the aisle, smiling and shedding a tear.
Immediately, she began to cry. She had waited all of her life for this and she was finally getting it! She was so happy.
She reached Derek and took his hand in hers
The minister started the ceremony
Minister: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Derek Christopher Shepherd and Meredith Ann Grey. If anyone objects, please speak now or forever hold your peace" No one spoke. The minister continued. "The couple has chosen to write their own vows and Derek will share his now"
Derek: Meredith, the moment I laid eyes on you in Joe's...I knew, my life would change forever. I didn't know how, but I knew it would. As I stand before you now, I know that it is changing because I am marrying you. The woman of my dreams. I stand before you and vow to love you, to care for you, to hold you when you're crying, to laugh with you when you are laughing, to hold your hair back when you're sick, to cherish you, to admire you, to hold a scalpel for you when you cannot. I vow to be there whenever you need me. I vow to give you my life. Meredith Ann Grey, I love you and I DO take you as my wife"
Minister: And now, Meredith will say her vows
Meredith is crying so it takes her a minute to continue
Meredith: Derek, I love you. I love you for the man you are. Sweet, kind, caring, loving, handsome, dreamy, an amazing neurosurgeon with an ego the size of Texas. I love you for the man you want to become and for everything you are to me. I stand before you tonight to vow to love you and cherish you. To learn from your surgeries and to always be there for you. I love you Derek Christopher Shepherd and I DO take you as my husband"
Minister: Derek, please take this ring and place it on Meredith's finger
And repeat after me. I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. To have and to hold from this day forward. With this ring, I thee wed.
Derek repeated him and then Meredith did the same with Derek's ring
Minister: With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Derek, you may kiss your bride
Derek grabbed Meredith and kissed her passionately.
Everyone cheered and clapped as they walked down the aisle, as Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd
Derek and Meredith had an amazing time at the reception. Then it ended and they head to the trailer. Derek had a surprise he wanted to give Meredith.
They pulled up and Meredith saw the trailer, but behind that she saw this gorgeous house. A log cabin, or mansion Meredith thought. It had an amazing kitchen for Derek to cook in, an office for each of them, living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms. Meredith fell in love with it immediately. She knew that this would be the house that Derek and her raised their children in and with that thought, Meredith couldn't be more excited to start her life with her new husband.
The newlyweds honeymooned in Tahiti and Bora Bora. After 2 weeks, they had to come home and be surgeons again. They enjoyed their honeymoon and the quality time they spent together.
