Hey peeps! Sorry for the delay, things are starting to pile up on me. For the purposes of this story, Maura's parents are deceased. I'd also like to mention that she didn't misdiagnose herself... That will be addressed soon. I hope you enjoy the chapter!=)

"I can't believe the day is finally here… God, why am I so nervous?"

"Relax Janie, it's perfectly normal to be nervous on your wedding day," replied Angela. "You've nothing to be nervous about, Maura is a wonderful woman, and I'm sure you two are going to be very happy for the rest of your lives."

Jane smiled, relaxing instantly. She knew her mother was right. From the moment she'd introduced Maura to her mother, Angela had not shut up about marriage and grandkids; she had been quite the hit with the Rizzoli clan and her partners at the precinct.

"I know she's wonderful ma; I knew it from the moment I laid eyes on her. I just can't believe she actually agreed to marry me, and that she will be my wife in less than an hour."

"My baby, you look beautiful. I'm so happy for you!"

Jane looked at their reflection in the mirror. She'd chosen to wear a simple, white tuxedo with a silk button down shirt open at the collar and white pumps. Her wild curls framed her radiant face. When she and Maura had discussed what they would wear she had adamantly refused to wear a dress and had left that to her more femininely dressed fiancée. Angela had taken it upon herself to go dress shopping with Maura and kept going on and on about how beautiful her future daughter in law looked. Jane could only wait and hope that time went by quickly. She couldn't wait to be married to the love of her life.

Maura stood before the full length mirror, making sure everything was immaculate. There was not a wrinkle to be seen, not a hair out of place; she looked perfect. There was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

"Maura dear, I just wanted to make sure everything was in order and to ask if you if you needed anythi- wow! Maura, you look gorgeous dear! Jane is going to be left speechless... I know your mother would be so proud of you today and the woman you've become."

Maura smiled. "Thank you Angela. It truly means a lot to Jane and I that you have been so accepting of our relationship. I wonder if my parents would've been so accepting; they were very conservative people..."

"Oh don't give me any of that. Conservative or not, I'm sure they would've accepted the two of you... How could they not? My Janie is a catch! And you? You're a beautiful, intelligent woman; they would've been lucky to be here on such a day. I am catholic and as you know, we don't take matters such as these lightly. Then Janie sat me down and told me about how she had met this doctor that had the most beautiful smile and that had stolen her heart. There was no possible way I could object to that. My daughter is not one who shows her feelings often, so for her to talk about you in such detail with me, to see her face light up with just the mention of your name... It's all I've ever wanted for her."

Maura was trying her best to keep her tears at bay; she couldn't ruin her makeup. Angela's words hit a spot inside her that warmed her heart and she truly felt loved by the older woman. "I love her, Angela. I love her with everything I am and I hope I can make her happy."

"That's all I can ask of you my dear. Now, I don't mean to upset you; God knows that's the last thing I want to do, but there's another reason I came in here…"

"What's the matter? Is Jane alright?"

"Don't worry; Jane is great, she's just anxious to see you. The other reason I came in here was to ask if you had someone to walk you down the aisle? An uncle perhaps?"

"No, there's no one," Maura replied, looking down instantly. "My parents didn't have any siblings."

"Maura that is nothing to be ashamed about." Angela stated as she lifted Maura's chin and looked her straight in the eye. My ex-husband is still alive and he's not here today…"

"I still can't believe he's not here to give his daughter away."

"You know that Frankie is very excited to be able to do that for Jane. I don't want you to feel offended… but if you're willing, there are two people who would very much like to have the honor of walking you down the aisle."

"There are?"

"Yes. Tommy said that he would be privileged to do it. You also remember Vincent Korsak, don't you? He was Jane's partner for years and has always seen her as the daughter he never had. I know he now sees you that way also."

"Oh Angela, I don't know what to say… I'm flattered. It is I who would be honored to be given away by either of them. How do I pick?!"

"You don't have to pick, why don't you have them both walk you down the aisle? I know it would make Jane very happy to see that you are properly given away," Angela said with a smile.

"In that case, then yes. Please tell them both that I would be honored to have them both. Thank you Angela, so much. I've no words to explain just how much this means to me… that you've welcomed me into your family with open arms. It means so much more than I could say." Maura walked the couple of steps and embraced the older woman. "Thank you."

Angela hugged her back. "Welcome to the family, sweetheart. Don't say Jane didn't warn you," Angela said jokingly. "I'll go tell Tommy and Vince to get ready. They'll be at your door in five minutes, and then we can get this show on the road! Jane and Frankie have already left. Once you're ready, you can leave with Vince and Tommy. I'm going to go ahead and leave to make sure everything is ready."

"Alright, and thank you once again."

Angela smiled and was out the door. Maura went over her vows and makeup one last time, making sure she was ready. A couple of minutes later there was a knock at the door announcing the arrival of her two escorts.

"Maura, are you ready to go?" Vince asked from outside the door.

"Yes, I'm coming Vince." She opened the door and the men's jaws immediately dropped.

"You look beautiful. Jane is going to be left in complete awe," Vince stated.

"My sister is a lucky woman," added Tommy.

"Thank you both, I'm flattered. I also wanted to thank you, for offering to walk me down the aisle. I couldn't decide which of you to accept, so I hope that you'll both have me."

"We would be honored to, Maura. Today is a very special day for all of us," replied Vince.

The drive to the park was a quiet one, with each of the passengers lost in their own thoughts. When looking for a place to hold the ceremony, Jane and Maura decided to get married where they'd met: Boston Common. They'd walked the park grounds until they had found the perfect spot; now 50 of their closest family and friends were awaiting the arrival of the brides.

Jane was the first to arrive, wanting to make sure that everything was as it should be. She spent a few minutes talking with the justice of the peace going over the final details. She got a call a few minutes later to notify her that Maura was on her way.

Once everyone was seated and both brides were ready, Frankie cued the music. The small crowd rose to their feet. Cello music (Maura's request) played in the background as Frankie and Jane walked down the aisle to their designated spot. It took everything Jane had in her to not run down the aisle. She couldn't wait to see Maura any longer. The cellist was given a second cue, and this time it was Maura's turn.

Jane's heart stopped beating, or at least that's what it felt like when she laid eyes on her soon to be bride. Maura was the epitome of beautiful. Her white satin dress had a wrapped sweetheart bodice that cinched at the waist with a band of rhinestones. Crystal beads and pearls lead to a box pleated full skirt. A trail of buttons went down the back to the chapel train. It was a simple yet elegant dress. Jane looked up and finally connected with her fiancée. The fire burning in Maura's hazel eyes she was sure, matched her own. A smile lit Maura's face as both Tommy and Vince escorted her down the aisle; Jane had to smile at that. She couldn't wait any longer; she wanted this woman to be her wife forever.

Once Maura reached the makeshift altar, she received kisses from both Vince and Tommy before being handed over to Jane. When they finally held hands, they could feel a jolt of electricity run through them both. The world ceased to exist. There was no one else left but the two of them.

"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to witness the union of two remarkable people…"

Jane knew she should be paying attention to what the justice of the peace said. She knew she couldn't screw this up, yet Maura standing before her looking like, well Maura, couldn't let her think of anything else. Before she knew it, she heard the justice of the peace call her name.

"Now Jane, if you would repeat after me…"

"I came across a word during a movie once… it was 'serendipity.' At first, I didn't know what the word meant, so I looked it up. It means 'happy accident' or 'pleasant surprise'. The day I met you, Maura, could not be described in any other way. When I heard your voice that night, something inside of me just clicked. The world made sense again. The time I have spent with you is only the beginning of what I hope is a long and happy union between us. I love you with all my heart, and I will show you just how much I love you every single day for the rest of my life. I Jane Clementine Rizzoli, take you Maura Dorthea Isles, to be my lawfully married wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

Both women now held their tears at bay.

"I never thought I could find love. I didn't even know what love was, not really. It was an emotion that I've read about on countless occasions, yet it was something that I never truly felt, until I met you. You've showed me the meaning of what love is every second I've spent with you since that night, Jane. I can only hope that I can make you as happy as you've made me. I love you with all my heart and I will spend the rest of my life showing you just how much I care. I Maura Dorthea Isles, take you Jane Clementine Rizzoli, to be my lawfully married wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

They took turns exchanging rings, both whispering an "I love you" as the band was placed on the other's finger.

"By the power vested in me by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I know pronounce you wife and wife. You may now kiss your bride."

They sealed their union with a kiss as cheers and whistles erupted from the crowd.

"I love you Maura Rizzoli-Isles."

"And I love you, Jane Rizzoli-Isles."

I'd love to read what you think!
