A Couple Months Later
"Casey oh my god" Olivia groans becoming agitated "You look gorgeous… I promise. Would you just relax, please?"
"This dress isn't right Liv. The dress isn't right, and I'm going to fall, and I'm going to break my face."
Abbie sighs and throws her head back. "Case….the dress isn't even that long. In fact, it stops just at your knees. If any one is going to fall and break her face, it's Alex."
Olivia shoots her a glare and puts her finger to her lips when she feels Casey go rigid in front of her.
"Casey, don't listen to Abbie. You're going to be fine, Alex is going to be fine. You're both going to look beautiful and everything is going to be perfect."
Casey sits still for a moment before she starts chewing her lip nervously once again, earning her a light smack from Olivia.
"Stop biting your lip, Novak. Do you know how many times I'm going to have to redo your lipstick if you keep that up?"
Abbie snickers and leans back against the chair she's sitting in. "Liv, when did you turn into such a girl?"
The detective stops her prepping and snaps her head towards Abbie. "Ever sense Serena and Alex dragged me to the day spa and took me shopping. Now, sit over there and be a guy if you want to. Us ladies here a going to continue to get ready."
"Hey I'm a lady!"
"Abbie, you aren't a lady…" Casey says without turning away from the mirror she's still gazing at fearfully. 'Holy crap, I'm getting married.'
Olivia laughed at Abbie's response to the comment and turns her attention back to the nervous redhead in front of her. "You're going to be fine Casey, stop freaking out."
Katherine walks into the room and takes one look at her sister before cocking an eyebrow and turning to Olivia.
"Did you break her? She looks like she's about to throw up." she says waving her hand in front of Casey's face, receiving no response.
"She's just getting cold fit." Olivia said also waving her hand in front of Casey's face, and once again, receiving no response.
"Hehehe, those feet are stone cold frozen." Abbie says standing up and snapping her fingers repeatedly in front of Casey's face, still receiving no response. "Damn, she's outta here."
"You know, I can't keep doing this, if you're going to keep fidgeting…" Serena commands as she tries to apply Alex's make up, but she keeps shaking.
"I'm sorry Rena, I just…I'm nervous…" Alex mumbles, trying and failing to stay still for her best friend. She jumps slightly when she feels a pair of hands clamp down on her shoulders and hold her into place.
"Jesus Lex, she's being serious when she said she needed you to be still." Madison says into her sister's ear, trying to coax her into doing just that…being still.
Alex jerkily nods her head and once again tries and fails to stop shaking.
"Oh my god, Maddie, can you do this, she won't be still." Serena says giving up on the makeup appliance.
Maddie replaces Serena in the seat in front of Alex, and squeezes her sister's face with one hand. "You're going to be still for me, or I'm going to end up poking you in the eye with this mascara brush, and unlike Serena, I won't feel bad about it."
Alex stares at the younger blonde for a moment before she nods her head and sits still so her makeup and be applied properly.
"So how does it feel to be getting married? Too be honest, I love you Lexie, but I never thought I'd see the day…" Serena says happily.
Alex frowns but answers her none the less. "You feel like you want to go take a dive off the Empire State Building because you're so damn terrified Serena. I stare down serial rapists for a living, and not even that is as terrifying as this moment, right now."
Maddie rolls her eyes. "Alex you're exaggerating. I don't believe that getting married is that…close your eyes…Terrifying. You look beautiful, I'm sure Casey looks drop dead gorgeous, and everything is going to turn out perfectly, you know why? Because it just is. This is your day, and it's going to be perfect." She says finishing the makeup.
"Oh my god you look beautiful!" Serena says wiping a few of her tears before it can ruin her own make up.
"No, please don't cry. You'll make me cry…" Alex says as she's enveloped into a hug by her best friend and her sister.
"Guys I don't think I can do this." Casey says as they are about to leave.
Katherine grabs Casey's shoulders and looks her square in the eyes. "Yes you can, you're going to go out there, and you're going to marry the woman you love, even if it means Liv, Abbie, and I have to drag you outta here by your ankles."
Casey nods and tries to steady her breathing. "I'm getting married you guys…"
"Yes we can see that Casey, you're getting married. And your future wife is going to look at you, like she only has eyes for you when she walks down that aisle." Abbie says patting Casey on the shoulder.
"Future wife….oh…my…god….wife..."
"It's okay, Casey, breathe…"
"In…out…in…out…okay, I got this."
"Are you sure? Because you look like you don't got this."
Casey paces herself for a moment before she steadies her breathing. "I'm ready…I got this. Can I get a hug?"
She soon finds herself squished in a four-way group hug that she thankfully needed and gratefully returns.
"Serena, this is real life right now and I'm being dead serious…I cannot do this." Alex says coming to an abrupt stop in the corridor as she squeezes her best friend's hand in a death grip.
Serena winces at Alex's hold on her hand and actually feels her circulation staring to cut off. "Alex, I can't feel my hand honey…"
"I'm sorry…"
"It's okay. Look, just breathe, take a few deep breathes, calm yourself down."
Alex does as she's told but doesn't feel herself relax in the slightest.
"I can't do it Serena, I can't. There are so many people out there, and they're all going to be watching me, and I can't do this Serena!"
"Alexandra Cabot, I have seen you own an entire courtroom but you can't walk down the aisle?"
"It's not the same Serena! Oh my god…"
Serena sighs and cautiously takes Alex's hands in her own. "Alex…you're going to be fine. Casey is in there, and she's waiting for you. All you have to do is make it through probably this next hour and everything will be a done deal. You'll be with the woman you love."
Alex takes a shaky deep breathe and calms down a little. "Gosh Rena, she's so perfect. I really don't know what I'd do without her."
Serena smiles and smoothes Alex's perfect hair before handing her the bouquet of flowers. "Are you ready?"
"I think I got this. Walk through the doors. Walk down the aisle. Don't fall. Marry Casey. Happily ever after, right?"
"Don't forget to smile, sweetie." Serena says hugging Alex tightly once more. She pulls back and straightens out her dress that matches Alex's wedding gown.
"Smile…gotcha." Alex replies smiling brightly.
Serena smiles and moves towards the door. "Now when I open this door, please promise me that you'll go in."
Alex nods and clutches her bouquet tighter. Serena turns the door handle and opens the door. As soon as she does, the music switches over to 'here comes the bride' and Serena feels Alex practically go ramrod rigid next to her. She gently squeezed her hand and ushered her towards the doorway.
Taking a deep breath, Alex takes a few hesitant steps forward and pears into the bright room that is full of friends and family. God she really did underestimate how many people there are, or maybe she is just exaggerating.
She sees Maddie first, smiling at her from where she's standing, clad in a white knee length dress identical to Serena's. She then spots Olivia, Abbie, and Katherine all dark ocean blue dresses similar to Casey's, with a black sash around the waist.
Alex then locks eyes with Casey, who is standing in between their sisters and practically glowing. Alex smiled as she took more positive steps into the room with Serena who has now joined her.
All worries have faded as Alex keeps her eyes on Casey, who looks like she is fighting tears. As she gets closer she notices that Maddie and Katherine are already crying freely, and out of the corner of her vision, Alex sees both Abbie and Olivia hastily wipe away and remnants of evidence to show that they were even tearing up.
Casey can't help but shed tears of her own when she sees how absolutely beautiful Alex looks. As the song comes to an end and Alex reaches her, she reaches out her hand for the blonde, who gratefully accepts it.
"You look so beautiful…I love you." She whispers as they turn towards Petrovsky who is set to be the one that binds them together forever.
"I love you too." She whispers back, realizing that she can't hold her tears in either.
They turn back to Petrovsky but neither really paying attention to her introductory speech, because they're so engrossed with the thoughts of spending the rest of their lives with each other.
Finally, for what seems like forever to Alex, they come to the part that she, Casey, and probably everyone else has been waiting for.
"Do you, Cassandra Novak, take Alexandra Cabot, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"And do you, Alexandra Cabot, take Cassandra Novak, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
Lena smiles brightly at the two women standing before her. "Well, I can't say that I ever thought this would happen. And I certainly never thought that I would be the one to say it but, Casey? You can kiss your bride."
Casey thanks the judge before she moves forward and gently presses her lips to Alex's in a chaste but passionate kiss that speaks all of her emotions. Their first kiss as a married couple.
"You do realize that you're stuck with me forever now right?" Casey asks Alex amidst all the applause and cheering.
Alex smiles and rests her hand on Casey's face. "I realize that, and trust me when I say I wouldn't have it any other way." She whispers back before pulling in Casey for another kiss.
Reception
Alex and Casey can both say that they've gotten enough 'welcome to the family's to last them an entire lifetime and a half. Not that they mind or anything, but it is still a little funny to hear it coming from so many people.
"You do realize that this means that you and I are probably going to be seeing a whole lot more of each other." Katherine says as she hugs Alex tightly.
"Should I be worried?" Alex asks only halfway joking. Katherine smiles and excitedly hugs her new sister in law again.
Maddie approaches the threesome and points a finger at Casey. "I didn't get to do this properly before hand so I'll do it now…if you do anything to hurt my big sister…in any way…it's going to be me…you…and a ditch in a field some where." She says with a straight face that scares Casey a little.
Casey nods her head at Madison's threat. "Yes, I understand…" she says tentatively.
Maddie's cold face breaks into a large smile and she hugs Casey tightly. "Great, glad to have you apart of our family." She says to her new sister in law.
"It's all so beautiful isn't it?" Olivia asks wiping her eyes with a tissue earning a look from the guys, Abbie and Amanda.
"When did she go all soft?" Elliot asks motioning towards his partner.
"Something about shopping and a spa trip…" Abbie responds sipping her glass of champagne.
"Hope this is just a faze…" Fin mutters not liking this new Olivia at all.
The group laughs over a few more drinks and stories when Amanda playfully nudges Abbie in the ribs.
"Heads up Carmichael…"
Abbie looks confused as she looks up just in time to see Alex toss the bouquet and Serena catch it. The guys fade away and Amanda and Liv burst into laughter upon seeing Abbie go completely pale.
"Oh no…no, no, no, no, no…." Abbie says, all of the color drained from her face.
"You know what they say Abs, the one who catches the bouquet is the next one to get married!" Olivia says as she and Amanda continue to laugh.
"That's what I've heard…" Abbie mumbles as Serena saunters towards her with the flowers in hand. "Um…baby is there anyway you can give those back?"
Serena smirks before she takes Amanda's glass from her hand and downs quickly throws back the alcohol. She shoves the glass back into the stunned detective's hand before she yanks Abbie into a hungrily passionate kiss.
"Okay now that's just nasty…" Olivia says stepping away from her friends who are literally making out right in front of her.
"It's hot that's what it is….and she owes me a whiskey!" The southern blonde shouts realizing that her glass is completely empty.
Later that evening, Alex rests her head on Casey's shoulder as they happily sway together on the dance floor.
"Isn't this just the most perfect day?" Alex asks as Casey gently runs her fingers through her blonde tresses.
"Mmmm…I don't think anything could have made it better." She purrs before she kisses Alex on the cheek.
Alex giggles and lifts her head, staring into the eyes of her new wife. "God, I love you so much." She says before she kisses her lightly on the lips, a kiss that Casey happily returns.
Casey pulls away and rests her forehead against Alex's. She's about to say something, but stops when she realizes that Alex is laughing at something over her shoulder.
"I think your grandmother is drunk, baby." Alex says in reference to the old woman wildly gyrating her behind and smacking it like there's no tomorrow.
"Yeah hussies! This is how it's done! Watch an old woman get low!" she shouts as she continues to drop it low to a relatively slow paced song.
Casey blushes and turns her head back towards Alex. "Is it time for the honeymoon yet?" she asks hopefully.
Alex hums and shakes her head. "Not yet sweetie, but I promise when it is, I'll make it worth your while."
"Ooo, I like the sound of that…"
"I bet you do…" Alex smiles and returns her head to her spot on Casey's shoulder. Nothing in her life has ever been more perfect than it is right now, and she's not sure anything ever will be.
