XOXOXOXOXOXOX

"I didn't know Jon Bon Jovi and Lorezo Lamas were married," Chase mused, scrutinizing the sign in front of the Graceland Wedding Chapel declaring that the two celebrities were married here. "Is that even legal in Nevada?"

Cameron had not noticed the sign until Chase drew her attention to it. "I don't think it means to each other."

"But that's what it says," Chase read the sign aloud. "Jon Bon Jovi and Lorenzo Lamas were married here."

"Jon Bon Jovi married his high school sweetheart and they're still together," Cameron assured him.

"It frightens me that you know that," Chase told her, looking deadly serious.

"Want to call off the marriage?" Cameron teased.

Chase pretended to consider his options. "I can live with it."

"They sponsored a free health clinic for needy families locally. I volunteered there," Cameron explained.

"That's incredible!"

"Yeah, it's really helped a lot of people."

"I mean that you volunteered," he clarified. "I love your kind heart." He had worked the word love into their conversations frequently since they had decided to make the trip to Vegas. He had also done the honorable thing and asked the Parkers if they approved of his proposal.

David and Ellen had been thrilled with the news and lavished congratulations upon the couple, only wanting to know why they had not told the whole family while they were gathered. Ellen had immediately jumped to the conclusion that Cameron had left the lunch upset because she did not want to steal Megan's spotlight by announcing her impending engagement. Cameron let her believe that the engagement had "unofficially" happened earlier rather than having her question the wisdom of the hasty life-altering decision. While Ellen was disappointed that her daughter would not be spending the entire week with them, she understood Cameron's desire to avoid another big wedding and wished them the best before they boarded the plane bound for Nevada.

A couple dressed in Hawaiian themed clothes came out of the front door as Chase and Cameron made their way over the bridge just outside the chapel. The bride was actually wearing a grass skirt. The few guests who followed the couple outside all wore floral shirts.

"Congratulations," Chase said politely as the group passed.

"That is so tacky," Cameron commented, leaning close to her fiancé's ear, as they made their way into the chapel.

"We reserved something called Concert with the King, opting for it over the Dueling Elvises, Elvi, whatever. What did you expect?" Chase asked, his heart light with excitement. They had spent a couple of hours online the night before to find the best place for a quick wedding and had even filled out their license application electronically to speed along that requirement.

An Elvis impersonator wearing a gold lame jacket and matching trousers greeted them soon after they entered the chapel.

"It's almost 7:00, you must be Doctor and the future Mrs. Chase!"

"She's a doctor too," Chase told the man. "Robert Chase, nice to meet you," he extended his hand.

"Elvis Presley, at your service," the impersonator said with a thick Southern drawl. "If you and the little lady will kindly follow me."

Cameron was surprisingly unflustered by being referred to as the little lady.

"You've got your license ready?" Elvis asked.

"Yes," Cameron answered, reaching into her purse for the papers.

"Rings?"

"We were going to buy some later," Chase told him. They had not really had time to go jewelry shopping between the flight and rushing to Marriage Bureau to get the document waiting for them.

"Well, we happen to have a fine assortment of beautiful rings for both men and women!" Elvis stated, leading them to a glass counter filled with a wide assortment of styles. "Rest assured these are quality products, as good as you would find at any upscale jewelry store."

Cameron looked longingly at the rings. "It would be nice to have a ring for the ceremony," she sighed.

"Pick one," Chase told her. "Whichever one you want."

"Really?"

"You know I'm going to buy you a ring. If there's one you like here, it's yours."

Cameron looked at the array of stones, ranging from tiny chips of diamonds to multi-carat rocks.

"Do you like solitaires or clusters?" Elvis asked.

"Solitaires," Cameron answered. Her last engagement ring had been a small cluster of stones, more than Michael could really afford with his medical bills.

"Only the best for this little lady," Elvis nodded. He reached in and pulled out one of the largest solitaires in the collection. It was at least three carats in a teardrop shape.

"Oh, no," Cameron said waving it away.

"He's a doctor!" Elvis reminded her. "He can afford it."

"She's a doctor too!" Chase said again.

"No, it's not that," Cameron said. "That's just tacky!" The large ring may have cost thousands of dollars but the size made it look like cheap costume jewelry in her opinion. "I'm thinking more like a one carat."

Elvis replaced the gargantuan stone and offered a single carat round diamond.

Cameron put it on her hand and found that it too was too large for her delicate fingers. "No, it's still too big."

"What about the one that was next to it?" Chase asked, pointing out the ring. It was three-quarters of a carat in an emerald cut.

Elvis offered it to Cameron.

"It's perfect!" she exclaimed.

"You'll need bands," Elvis reminded them. "How about a jeweled band for you, Dr. Chase?"

"No thank you," Chase answered. "Solid gold. I don't want anything too fancy."

"But she's a doctor. She can afford it!" Elvis stated.

"It's not about the money," Chase told him irritably. "Neither of us need fancy rings to know we love each other." He knew from his parents' marriage that extravagant rings did not make the vows any stronger.

They picked a set of gold bands that would compliment the engagement ring and charged $4500 on Chase's Visa while Elvis smiled.

"Now, you weren't planning to wear those clothes, were you?" Elvis asked, looking at their attire with disdain. "For an extra $100, we can provide you with a beautiful dress and a suit fit for a King."

Chase looked to Cameron. He could tell from the sparkle in her eye that she was intrigued.

"I guess a dress would be nice," she said, looking down at the coral colored pantsuit she was wearing. She certainly had not packed anything suitable for a wedding before they left New Jersey.

"Fabulous!" Elvis exclaimed. "Priscilla!" he bellowed.

A young lady with very large black hair arrived, smiling sweetly.

"Show the future Mrs. Dr. Chase our assortment of gowns while the good doctor and I find something to fit a man of his stature."

Cameron followed Priscilla and Chase followed Elvis wondering if more people fell for the sales pitch because it was presented by The King.

The next time they saw each other, Chase was standing before the alter dressed in black leather pants with a matching jacket, having gone with the '68 Comeback Special look. Cameron was wearing a simple ivory sleeveless wedding gown that was cut high in the front and low in the back. Her hair, however, rivaled Priscilla's in both height and volume while loose rings framed her lovely face. She held a tiny bouquet of red roses and baby's breath.

Both held back jubilant laughter as Elvis escorted Cameron down the aisle while "Burning Love" blared from the speakers. Chase was waiting for her with a fifty-dollar rent-a-minister.

"Who gives this Hard Headed Woman to this Lonely Man?" The minister asked solemnly.

"I do," Elvis said, in a near perfect imitation of the original. "It's Now or Never," he warned Chase.

Chase and Cameron joined hands, both snickering at the song titles being worked into the ceremony.

"Allison Cameron, do you take Robert Chase to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to be Steadfast, Loyal and True For the Good Times and the bad?"

"Oh, wow!" Cameron gasp, the reality of the vow hitting her. There was Chase, standing before her, looking both ridiculous and incredibly sexy, his eyes full of hope and love. Nothing had ever felt more right to her and her heart swelled in her chest as she said, "I do."

"Robert Chase, do you take Allison Cameron to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to Take Good Care of Her and be Steadfast Loyal and True For the Good Times and the bad?"

Chase focused on Cameron's face, beautifully glowing with a pure happiness that reminded him of sunshine dancing across the ocean. Everything he had longed for was within his grasp--a wife, a family, a home full of love. Despite the silliness of vows made from song titles, he believed every word. He did want to take care of her and be steadfast, loyal, and true no matter what came their way. He was not sure he was even still breathing as he said, "I do."

"Allison, repeat after me," the minister directed.

Cameron found herself repeating the minister, declaring, "I, Allison, Can't Help Falling in Love with you, Robert. I Want You, I Need You, I Love You. I'll spend my whole life Loving You. You'll Never Walk Alone."

At the minister's direction, Chase also repeated the vows woven from Elvis's catalogue. "I, Robert, Can't Help Falling in Love, with you, Allison. I Want You, I Need You, I Love You. I'll spend my whole life Loving You. You'll Never Walk Alone."

They exchanged rings, each with the traditional, "With this ring, I thee wed."

"By the power invested in me by the state of Nevada, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

The newly married couple kissed passionately while Elvis and Priscilla applauded. Then Elvis picked up the guitar that had been lying on the first pew and began their private concert. They had been able to request four songs with their wedding package, so they chose I Can't Help Falling in Love, Loving You, She Wears My Ring, and Love Me Tender. Viva Las Vegas was a given in any of the packages. By the time Elvis got into the last song, Chase and Cameron were singing along, "Viva, viva, Las Vegas!"

After posing for some photographs, they had to change back into their regular clothes. It did not take Chase quite as long to rid himself of the rented leather suit as it took Cameron to get out of her wedding gown and deflate her hair. He tipped the minister, Priscilla, and even Elvis.

He saw that Priscilla's real name was Jo Ann Bradford, but was shocked to see the name Elvis Presley as a witness to his wedding. Afraid that the document might not be legal, Chase found Elvis in the business office. "Don't you have to put your real name?" he asked.

"That is my real name," Elvis said, looking up from the computer. "I changed it for the gig."

Chase shook his head, realizing that some people too fandom a little too seriously.

"Your wedding video will be online in about an hour if there's anyone you want to send it to who couldn't make it to the wedding," Elvis said. He gave Chase a piece of paper with a url. "Just send out that link to your friends and family."

"Thanks," Chase said, sticking the paper into his pocket.

"We'll also upload your photos digitally so that you can pick out which ones you'd like to order." He reached for something that had just finished printing. "Until then, here are some complimentary wallet size prints so that you can tell everyone you meet about your beautiful wedding here at the beautiful Graceland Wedding Chapel." Elvis even trimmed the photos before handing them to Chase.

"Thanks," Chase said again. "I'm sure Camer--" he paused. Was she still Cameron now that they were married? He tried again, "I'm sure Allis--" Something still was not quite right. He sighed. "I'm sure Mrs. Chase will be thrilled to have these. We'll be in touch about a proper order." He nodded to Elvis and left to find his wife.

Much to Chase's relief, Cameron had decided that she would still use the name Cameron as long as they worked at PPTH, though she intended to hyphenate her name for legal documents and eventually drop the Cameron if she ever moved to another hospital. They decided it would be less confusing for everyone if there was only one Dr. Chase being paged over the intercom at PPTH. However, their next place of employment, if they continued to work at the same hospital, would have to deal with two Dr. Chase's at one time.

"So what if I'm still calling you Cameron when we're eighty?" Chase asked, hands behind his head as he rested comfortably on vibrant red silk sheets in a heart shaped bed. "Your dad thinks it's weird for me to call you that, you know."

"It doesn't matter if anyone understands," she said, gently tracing circles on her husband's bare chest. "You'll always be Chase to me and I'll always be Cameron to you."

"We can still work in our given names every once in a while," Chase suggested. "You know, for the kids' sake." He wondered what it would be like growing up in a household where Mom referred to Dad by his last name and Dad referred to Mom by her previous last name.

"Kids?" Cameron asked, starting to nibble on Chase's shoulder.

"Being an only child isn't that great," Chase told her. "It's lonely."

"We'll have a house full of kids, then," Cameron promised. "And, Chase, I promise, you'll never be lonely again."

At that moment, Chase was sure that he was the luckiest man in the world. "I love you, Allison."

"I love you too, Robert."

House settled at his desk, having successfully sent the brood of potential fellows on missions to occupy their time and get them out of his hair. He saw a new mail message exhibited at the bottom of his computer screen.

There were several spam messages for male enhancement products, along with a memo from Cuddy. But the message that caught his attention was from someone unexpected: Dr. Robert Chase. The message title said, "You are cordially invited."

Curiosity piqued, House followed the url. When he realized what he was witnessing, he yelled across the room, "Hey, Foreman, get your ass in here!"

Foreman strolled to House's desk and stood behind him watching his former coworkers exchange vows. "They didn't!" he said.

"I believe they did," House replied, shaking his head as he watched leather-clad Chase exchange vows with high-haired Cameron. "I believe they did."

AN: Graceland Wedding Chapel is real and it really did display that sign for a while. I don't know if the sign is still there. Another disclaimer: I don't own GWC or Elvis either.

I appreciate all comments!
