1 year later…
4 years ago I was hired to work under him; as soon as I saw him, I was captivated by his beautiful piercing blue eyes. Right then it was like my life was on fast-forward, I saw everything, I saw him at the end of the aisle smiling at me then us having babies then us sitting in our front porch while we watch our grandkids. Every day, I hoped that he would notice me, love me, now I can't believe everything is falling into place. As I walk slowly down the aisle at my own wedding, my eyes locked with his thinking how lucky I was. It was just as I imagined, wedding in the land I showed him – our first date. It became special for the both of us. I'm wearing a simple white wedding dress and Derek wore a very handsome tux. Beside him was Mark, and on my side I can see Cristina looking kinda bored. It was a small wedding ceremony. Derek's family, both my sisters and my father are here as well.
When I reached Derek he instantly took my hand in his and whispered "You look gorgeous," then kissed them.
"Thank you," I whispered back and gave him a soft smile as the priest started to greet everyone.
"We gather here today to unite these two homosapiens in marriage and for them to confess their love to each other in front of their love ones…" Both Derek and I got caught in each other's gaze just smiling with tears in our eyes as the priest continues his speech.
"Do you Derek Timothy Shepherd take thee Meredith Cassandra Grey to care for, cherish, through hardships and triumphs forever and ever?" The Priest asked Derek.
Without tearing his eyes off me, Derek answered "I do, always and forever".
I couldn't help but tear up more as the priest asks me the same question. "I do, always and forever," I answered almost too immediately which made Derek chuckle a little bit.
"Derek and Meredith will now exchange rings and vows that they have written. Can you please start Meredith?" The Priest announced as Mark handed Derek the rings.
As the priest mentioned my name I felt a bit nervous because I thought that I would forget my vows. But as I looked back into those beautiful piercing blue eyes it seems like I didn't need to remember my vows because they just all came to me. "Derek, I love you, I adored you from the very beginning. I was one of those girls who fawned over you and well let's just say I couldn't help it," we both laughed, "I love you even though sometimes you make me eat muesli. I love you even when you won't let me eat my cold pizza but I love you even more when you buy me a strawberry cheesecake. Also I will promise you that I will stay as far away as I can from any cooking utensil and also I promise that I will try and keep my snoring a bit quieter," which made everyone laugh. "But most of all I promise you I will never run away even if we hit a rough patch, I will keep fighting, we'll keep fighting! This is now and forever," I finished with now tears fully made it down our faces as I slipped the ring to Derek's finger.
Derek's P.O.V
"Derek? Can you please say your vow?" The priest asked then I nodded and cleared my throat before speaking.
"My sweet cupcake…" I smirked at her while Meredith rolls her eyes "I know how much you LOVE my cheesiness and now that I'm giving my heart to you, your life will be so full of cheesiness that you'll eventually get tired of eating cold pizza. I know most of my fans out there are ladies and as much as you are tired of hearing this coming out from me, since the day I laid eyes on you all I wanted to do was to look at you. You took my breath away and I fell fast and hard. I know I can be a pain sometimes, but for some reason you still put up with me and I love you for that. As others say, they see their love of their life when everything becomes slow motion and eyes locks together. For us that happened but also that's not all that happened I also saw our fast forward, getting married, having a family and babies that could make up a team of basketball. Also I saw us with grey hair and watching our family. As for your cooking, you don't have to do much because I will cook you anything you want and buy you all the cheesecake you want. I promise to you that even if we fight I will always show up and be with you all the time, I will love you forever up until my last breath my dear cherry pie," I finished with happy tears streaming down my face as I slipped the ring to her slender finger and I brought it to my mouth to kiss it.
"We can now welcome Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd to the new chapter of their life, you may kiss your bride!" the priest said as everyone started clapping and I leaned in and Meredith met me half way. We shared a passionate kiss that lasted like forever that Mark and Cristina had to clear their throat. That kind of kiss always leaves us completely breathless.
"Mrs. Shepherd?" I asked Meredith as I offered her my arm.
"Mr. Shepherd," she nodded with a smirk and linked our arms together as we made our way down the aisle and Meredith threw her bouquet of flowers and surprisingly it was Cristina who caught it. Right then when Cristina caught it she turned to her right and kissed Mark full on which made everyone shake their heads and laugh.
As other people would ask 'don't your cheeks hurt from smiling so much?' my cheeks would never hurt from smiling as long as I have the love of my life in my arms. Just then I turned to Meredith and lifted her into my arms, carrying her bridal style which made her squeal and we both laughed. We made our way to the limo that's waiting for us to lead us to a 5 star restaurant, where our reception is being held. We know many of media presenters would be there and a lot more of paparazzi 'invading our little own world of happiness but I can't complain can I? It is my job but a little privacy would be nice' I thought to myself. After the reception the fun part starts which makes everything worth it '*cough* *cough* Just between me and my brand new wife of course.'
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
As we have suspected a week later our faces were already published in almost all magazine with headings such us "McDreamy got hitched!" "Prince charming has finally fallen under his secretary's spell!" "Sorry ladies, McDreamy has been tied down" "Many girls – young and old – have been heartbroken over McDreamy's wedding." There was even another article saying- "A pregnant girl claims that she is pregnant with McDreamy's baby only Derek Shepherd has never been to Scotland. We believe that she needs a consult from Derek's psychiatrist sister."
Meredith and I lay in our hotel bed laughing while we kept reading the magazines in the internet. We decided to spend our honeymoon in Venice where Meredith always wanted to go. After a week of honeymooning, we will be travelling around Europe for a while.
"Good Night Mr. Shepherd, I love you," Meredith whispers as she snuggles in my chest.
"Good Night Mrs. Shepherd, I love you always and forever, sweet dreams my love," I whispered back and kissed her temple then I reached for the lamp to turn it off.
