The big day had finally arrived. Olivia wanted to be old fashioned, so she spent the night before the wedding at her place, while Casey stayed at hers. Casey hated not having Olivia next to her, but she wanted to observe tradition, no matter how hard it was.
So Casey woke up around 7:30, and began getting her things together. The wedding was scheduled to start at 6, and it was in West Chester which was about a 40 minute drive from the city. Casey's parents were spending the night there, and they arranged for Casey to be picked up from her apartment at 10. As Casey was fixing some coffee and breakfast for herself, she was beginning to get a little nervous. Not bad nervous, but just anxious. In only a few short hours, she was going to be Olivia's wife, which was more than she ever could have dreamed of. Casey made herself some waffles and eggs, to go along with her coffee. She had a fitting of her dress the day before, and it fit great, so she wasn't as much worried about that on her actual wedding day. As she finished her breakfast, she got a nice little text from Olivia. "Good morning hot stuff! In only a few short hours we're going to be married! I can't wait. Plus, last night sucked without you next to me." Casey was so thrilled Olivia felt this way. She scrolled through some old pictures of the two of them on her iphone, and she was just beyond happy. Finally, she responded and told Liv just how thrilled she was. She then got in the shower, got dressed, and before she knew it, the car was downstairs and ready to take her to West Chester.
When Casey arrived at the beautiful church with this gorgeous garden behind it, it all sank in. She really was marrying Olivia. She stepped out of the car, and was so happy that everything came together so well. Even though it was early and no one was there yet besides Casey's parents and Liv, she knew it was going to be a great day. Casey got her hair and makeup done exquisitely, and Alex came in her room at about 5 and told her that the church was packed, and just about all their guests had arrived. She then got one last text from Liv that read "ready soon to be Mrs. Benson?" Casey smiled, and then Alex asked her the same thing. She was so thrilled to have Alex there. She thought about how crazy it was that the two of them used to be such arch enemies, and now they were so close that Alex was her maid of honor in her wedding to Olivia. It's just so crazy how certain things work out. Casey stood up in her beautiful dress and took one last look at herself in the mirror and said "here we go!" An attendant peeked his head into the room and said they were ready to start the processional. Alex then wished Casey good luck one last time, grabbed her bouquet and then headed down the aisle. It was then Casey's turn. She looked down and saw Liv, looking absolutely stunning in her dress. Casey took Liv's breath away, and her heart was beating a mile a minute when she walked down the aisle on the arm of her father. When she finally got to the end, and looked directly into Liv's eyes, all her nerves and worries went directly out the window. She and Olivia were about to be married and were going to be together forever.
The wedding went smoothly, and the reception was at a hotel about a mile from the church. Casey's parents also reserved the honeymoon suite in the hotel for the night for Liv and Casey. As the two of them mingled with their guests and snacked on the various appetizers, neither one of them could believe it. "Wow, we're married!" Casey said. "I know Case, it's like a dream…but it's my dream. I'm just so happy!" Liv then kissed Casey very softly. "Oh, come on, get that mushy stuff outta here!" Fin said, playfully mocking the two. Both liv and casey had to laugh at that one. "So honestly, how long have you guys been together? Because on some real shit, you did a hell of a job keeping it from all of us!" Casey then thought. "I guess we got together December '05, about a year after I got transferred to SVU." Munch then chimed in, "God, Liv, who knew you were gay? I swore to myself if you were going to hook up with anyone in the SVU family, it would be Elliot, during one of his many ups and downs with Kathy." Before Olivia could retort, Fin jumped in again. "Munch, come on man…you had to notice some of the times Olivia was checking Casey out. I never knew they were doing anything on the down low, but I definitely guessed Olivia liked chicks." Olivia finally got a word in. "Could both of you act your age for a second? My god, it's like dealing with two year olds here!" The whole group then laughed as a waitress circulated with champagne and a plate of bruschetta to which people partook. Liv then addressed the group. "First off, i try very hard not to check Casey out EVERY time she's in the squad room, but I have to admit, it's hard, because she's so hot! But in all seriousness, it was love at first sight for me…for her, it took a little longer." Casey leaned in and gave Olivia a very pleasant kiss. "But not much longer…" Fin then got back into the conversation. "So what are you guys going to do about Cragen?" Liv and Casey looked at each other and then Liv started. "We wanted to invite him, but thought he'd have some issue with me screwing and now married to the ADA. We'll tell him, but it's going to take some time." Casey then answered the next question before anyone could say anything. "And as for Amaro and Rollins…we just don't really trust either of them yet. Though apparently SOMEONE over here doesn't hide her happiness well enough, and Rollins is onto her…but she thinks Olivia has a new man, which isn't true." Olivia smiled and then gave Casey a playful shove. Everyone then began to circulate, and hit the dance floor. It was such an awesome wedding, and Casey and Olivia danced the night away, and were the last two on the dance floor. Casey's parents gave her one final congratulations, and then the two of them headed up to the gorgeous honeymoon suite.
