99 straightened Max's bow tie before gently kissing his lips. "There. You look so handsome."

"Thank you, Darling."

99 looked down and noticed Max's shaking hands. She took them in hers and squeezed "nervous?" She asked.

"Yes." Max admitted. "It isn't every day you give a speech at your only daughters wedding."

"I'm sure it will be marvelous."

Max smiled, "You always have faith in me. I don't know what I did to deserve a wife as perfect as you."

"Don't sell yourself short, Max."

"It was a beautiful ceremony, wasn't it?"

"It was perfect." 99 agreed. "It made me think of our wedding. Do you remember?"

"I'll never forget. Though ours didn't go nearly as smoothly. You having to step over bodies on the way down the aisle" he said laughing.

"It was my dream come true regardless. I finally got to marry the man of my dreams." She said softly, looking lovingly into his brown eyes. "And each day since then has been a bigger blessing than the one before because of you."

Tears welled up in Max's eyes. After all this time with 99 she still took his breath away by the pure love she had for him. Max squeezed her hands. "I love you, you know that?"

"I do. And I love you, too." 99 looked at the head table and locked eyes with their daughter. "It's time, Love."

"Wish me luck." He said, standing up.

"Good luck, Darling."

Max smiled and bent down to kiss his wife. He then made his way to the head table where his daughter and her new husband sat. The room became quiet as a microphone was handed to him. Max cleared his throat and started.

"Now, I know no one came to this wedding to hear an old man talk on and on about his daughter and how much he loves her so I will keep this as short as I can. Sweetheart, you are the love of my life. From the moment I held you in my arms I knew I was holding someone I was going to love the rest of my life. I don't know where the time has gone. It seems like just yesterday your mother and I was all you needed. I still remember your first date. Ask your mother, I was a nervous wreck. She assured me all night you were fine, it was just a movie. Then you came home and I had never seen you look so happy. You were only 16 but I knew. I knew the man who was going to love you and take care of you for the rest of your life had just dropped you off. I suppose I'm lucky, I got to meet my daughters future husband when they were just 16. Brian, you have grown into an incredible young man. Someday, when you're a father you'll know that no man is good enough for your little girl. Until one is. I love you both. There will be hard times and long nights. But the hard times will be few and the years will be short."
