"You're staring at me," she accuses, without even turning toward him.

"I have an excuse. It's our wedding day. This is the last time I ever get to look at the single woman Samantha Carter."

She rolls toward him, and buries herself in his chest, "Don't be sweet, or I'll start to regret the whole 'living in different states after we're married' thing."

He pulls away a bit so he can look at her. "Sam, if you want to live in the same place, all you have to do is say the word. I'll retire and move to Nevada. No questions asked."

She sighs, "You can long for something without demanding that it happen."

"Okay, just keep that offer in mind. 'Married' means that we're together, and we get to negotiate what that means as our needs change."

"Just know that you don't get to make all the sacrifices in our marriage," Sam says.

Cassie knocks on the door, "Hey, if you guys aren't busy, can you come and say hi to the people who traveled across the country to come to your wedding."

"It's safe to come in, Cass," Sam says with a giggle.

"I should have known, since you guys are so old," Cassie says, running into the room and jumping on the bed.

"Let me assure you, we are not too old to be busy," Jack says.

"Eew," Cassie says.

"Don't let your male pride gross out Cassie," Sam scolds.

"Besides, she's right, you are really old," Daniel says, entering the room.

"That is incorrect," Teal'c says.

"I'm so glad you guys could get there," Sam says, standing up and hugging her friends.

"We made it, too!" Vala says entering the room behind them, with Cam following behind, obviously very aware that he is in the bedroom of people who are going to get married today.

"And we're glad that you're here, too," Sam says, giving them a hug each.

"General Hammond, I am so glad that you could come to our wedding," Sam says, giving him a hug.

"Of course," he says. He pauses, examining her face for a couple of seconds, "I don't know if this is going to be offensive to your woman's lib stuff, or if it's going to hurt too much since it's so soon after your father's death, but I wanted to offer. Would you like me to walk you down the aisle?"

"Are you serious?" Sam asks.

"I'd be honored," Hammond responds.

"Thank you," she says, throwing her arms around him.

"I just have one question," Daniel asks Sam hours later at the reception, "Where did you find a wedding dress so fast? I mean, didn't Jack just ask you to marry him a couple of days ago?"

"Actually, it's Jack's mom's dress. It was at the cabin," Sam says, blushing a little.

"So basically, you had nothing at all to do with the planning of this wedding," Cam says.

"She doesn't plan weddings," Jack teases.

It's a little close to the bone for Sam, so she gives him a glare. "I bought the food."

"And it's very good," Cam says.

"Hey, all I care is that this is the marriage you actually went through with," Jack says.

"No kidding, she's a bit of a run-away bride. I half expected to see tennis shoes under that dress," Vala says.

"I'm sorry, is this my wedding day or a comedy roast?" Sam asks, putting her hands on her hips.

"I'm sorry. You're the most beautiful bride ever," Jack says, giving her a kiss on her temple.
