Chapter 9
Thanks for the continued support; I have this chapter and maybe one more to go. Hope you like it. I am so sorry it took so long, you see I am the master of procrastination, also I had a lot of work at school cause it's end of term, I have school holidays for 2 weeks so I will be writing a lot making up for it.
They were here, finally, it was Castle and Beckett's wedding day and after all the obstacles they've had to dodge they had finally made it. Castle was in his room changing when Alexis walked in, he had chosen Alexis to be his best man, well woman, there was no doubt in it, telling the boys was the problem.
*two months earlier*
"What have we got Espo," Beckett asks as she walks into the abandoned building were their body was found. "Male mid to late 30's, GSW to the chest. He was found earlier this morning by a construction crew when they were inspecting the building, No ID on him but we've got CSU canvasing the area."
Beckett and Castle start to walk over to Lanie when Espo stopped Castle and dragged him over to where Ryan was standing. "Hey bro, so your wedding is in 2 months, we were just wondering when you were going to tell us who your best man is," Ryan asks as soon as Castle stops. "Listen guys, I umm, well I-"" Get on with it," Espo yells cutting Castle off and attracting attention to them, mouthing an apology he motions for Castle to continue. "I asked Alexis to be my best man, I knew it wasn't fair to choose between you two and she is one of the most important people in my life. I'd be happy if you'd be my groom's men though." The look on Ryan and Esposito's face tell Castle he's in for hell.
"I can't even look at you right now," here it comes. "Although we would be willing to forgive you if you gave us the Ferrari for 2 weeks… Each," Ryan hints. "Sure, I'm just glad you understand." Castle says. "Oh and you have to pay for our tux's," Espo quickly adds and after Castle agrees, Ryan and Esposito leave.
*Present day*
Beckett was in her room getting ready for her wedding, she still couldn't believe she was marrying Richard Castle, if someone had told her 5 years ago that she was going to be marrying her favourite author, she would have laughed in their face and had them committed. Beckett was dressed in her mother's wedding dress, at first she refused to wear it saying it caused to much pain, she had gone out and bought herself a beautiful dress, but then a couple days before the wedding she go a frantic call from Lanie saying her dressed was ruined.
*3 days earlier*
"Beckett," Beckett answered as a distraught Lanie starts to mumble something into the phone, "Woah Lanie slow down, I can't understand you. Take a deep breath and tell me what's wrong." After about 5 seconds of waiting Lanie stats to speak, "The pipe in the apartment above you burst, there's no damage in your apartment, but your dress Kate, its ruined." Kates heart sinks, of all the possible things that could go wrong, her dress getting destroyed 3 days before the wedding had to be the worst. "Is it fixable?" Beckett asked choosing to be hopeful. "No either your going to have to find a new dress in 3 days or wear your mums dress." Kate thought about it for a moment, it took her months to find the perfect dress, there is no way she is going to find a new one in the next 3 days. But her mums dress, she swore to herself that when she got married that she wouldn't wear that dress, if her mum couldn't see her in it, then she wasn't going to wear it. She had no other choice, she had to wear her mothers dress." I'm going to have to wear my mums dress, I just hope that it looks good." With that Beckett hung up and rang her dad.
*Present day*
"Do you, Richard Alexander Edger Rodgers Castle, take this woman to be your Lawful wedded wife, for better or worse, in sickness in health, till death parts you?"
"I Do"
"And do you, Katherine Houghton Beckett, take man, to be you lawful wedded husband, for better or worse, in sickness and health, till death parts you?"
"I Do"
"Then I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Castle leans over tilts Beckett back and slowly kisses her, there is a chorus of cheering and applauding and they break apart. Beckett takes Castle's hand in hers and they walk down the aisle, as man and wife.
