Tumbler Prompt from trackandsoccerforlife: Caskett dancing and singing to I Don't Dance by Lee Brice
Kate and Castle were in the back seat of a limo on their way to The Old Haunt to celebrate.
This was originally meant to be a welcome home party for Castle, but with a few words from Kate, and the willingness of Judge Markoway, they were newly married. Less than an hour ago, in a small and intimate ceremony at the loft, with only their family and closest friends. It was short and sweet, and more than they could have asked for, after all they had been through.
The cheer was deafening when they opened the doors and confetti was flying all through the air. Kate held Castle's hand and led him through the throng of bodies, all the way up to the area where the DJ was set up.
Kate started for the mic, but he reached it first, quietly shaking his head as he said, "Let me."
She shrugged and took his arm instead.
He held the mic for a moment, trying to think of the words for the announcement, but then he looked at her, and in his amazement, his adoration, for her, his mind blanked. When he turned back to the group of their family and friends, now complete, he noticed, seeing Alexis and the others had just entered. He smiled, feeling his cheeks stretch with the happiness he felt. He was sure he looked like a fool, but that really didn't matter right now, not with his wife by his side.
"We're married," he said, smiling, and suddenly deaf from the joyous reaction. It had crossed his mind to say more, but what else needed saying?
Kate pulled him to her and kissed him deeply, and he dropped the mic, the sound pinging and reverberating all through the building. There was a moment, where the crowd quietened, but then cheered again when they saw the two in their own bubble of happiness.
They finally parted, and Castle found the mic and handed it back to the DJ. "Play something slow," he said, as he took Kate's hand, "I want to dance with my wife."
He loved the smile she gave him, there really were no words for it. He breathed in the moment, and led her to the dance floor. Everyone cleared out of the way, leaving them to have this first dance alone.
In a few moments, the first notes played over the sound system and the words of the song filtered through. He gave a quick look to the DJ, who smiled back innocently. Of all the songs... it was almost laughable, but he let it go and leaned in to Kate, holding her close.
"I'll never settle down, that's what I always thought," Castle sung quietly into her ear, missing a few words when she slipped even closer to him. "Just ask anyone."
"I don't dance," Kate sang in return, her lips brushing against his ear just before she took his hands, "But here I am, spinning you 'round and 'round-"
The rest of the words were lost in surprise and laughter when she pulled back and spun them around, the only thing keeping them from falling was the grip of their entwined hands. Eventually, they came together again, and swayed to the rest of the song, completely oblivious to the world around them.
Castle couldn't remember having a better time in his life, and the best part of it was that this was only the beginning - the beginning of their life together.
