A/N: ANOTHER SURPRISE CHAPTER! My muse is just on a roll right now. It's actually pretty awesome. And if you haven't already, please check out the links on the bottom of my profile for what the wedding party is "wearing" in the story. And thanks billions to my reviewers! You guys rock!
Oh, and Vebbie, since you are such a great reviewer, and nobody guessed the three s's (except one person, who was an anon. stupid.), I'm letting you pick something for a chapter. It will have to be after this one and maybe another, or I'll incorporate it into the one I'm working on. But yes. Just PM me with what you want and I'll try and make it happen.
On October Sixteenth…Seeley awoke in their bed, surrounded by her smell.
"Mm…" He mumbled. He then sat up and stretched, muscles rippling.
"Dude, you up?" Jack's voice said, and then the door opened.
"Good. You are. It's ten."
"Oh shit. It's my wedding day."
"Yeah dude. Come on. We've got to get you bright eyed and bushytailed." He said. Seeley threw a pillow at him.
"Once I have coffee, I'll be fine." He said.
"The other dudes are already here. Including the surprises."
"You have their tuxes?"
"Yeah. Arrived this morning."
"Great. Be right down." Seeley said. Jack nodded and left and Seeley got up to take a shower.
Meanwhile…at Jack's house…
"IT'S YOUR WEDDING DAY!" Yelled three voices, jumping on the bed with Tempe. Tempe sat up and laughed, hugging the three ladies on her bed.
"I can't believe it. But I'm so glad you all are a part."
"Us too." Ange said, as Cam and Amy nodded.
"Hayley and Emma are downstairs and Parker is at your place with the men." Amy said.
"Good. Everything is in order."
"Yeah. Except the bride has to get her ass out of bed."
"Yeah, yeah. Do me a favor and get me coffee while I shower?"
"Sure. Your dress is in the wardrobe and the hair person is coming at twelve and I'm doing your makeup at one."
"Sounds good. You ladies know your hair is down, right?"
"YES." The groaned and Tempe threw a pillow at them as they left the room and Tempe made her way to the shower.
While both are showering…
"It's my wedding day." They both thought, smiles breaking across their faces.
Back at Seeley and Tempe's…Seeley just came downstairs…
"Daddy!" Parker yelled, and Seeley scooped up the rambunctious boy and ruffled his curly hair.
"Hey Bub." He said. "Ready for today?"
"Yeah Daddy! I'll be great. I promise!"
"I know you will, Bub. You have an important job." Seeley said. Parker nodded and then Seeley set him down and he ran to Jack. Seeley approached Max.
"Thank you, Booth. For making this happen."
"You're welcome. I know it will make Tempe happy, and that's all I want." He said. Max embraced him tightly. Seeley then turned to Zach.
"Booth…I…"
"It's okay, Zach-Attack. I know." Seeley said, and clapped him on the shoulder. Zach smiled meekly.
Three hours later…the men were ready and just chilling out and talking before heading over to the church at one fifteen.
Meanwhile…Tempe was just getting her makeup done by Ange. Her hair is down and in soft waves framing her face, silky and smooth. Her makeup is thick black lashes, gold eye shadow to bring out her eyes, and a slight pink lip-gloss, and rosy cheeks.
"Alright. Everyone out. I have to get dressed." Tempe ordered, pushing out Ange, Cam, and Amy, who are all ready and look beautiful.
"Ange, I'll need you to help me into my dress."
"Then why can't I stay?"
"Because I need to put on my wedding lingerie, and even though we're best friends, I do NOT want you seeing me naked."
"Fine. Just call. I'll be outside the door."
"Okay." Tempe said, and shut the door.
Inside…Tempe pulled out the red push up and lacy strapless with matching panties and put on the red garter before calling Ange in.
"Hot damn. Sweetie, you look so sexy." Ange said, stopping in her tracks.
"Yeah yeah."
"If Seeley could know what was under that dress beforehand, he'd take you instantly."
"Okay, Ange. Help me into the damn thing." She said. Ange nodded and did so. They then put on her shoes and everything and by one thirty were on their way to the church. The men are there already, in another room. While waiting for the ceremony to start…Jack knocked on the bride's door and Ange answered. She came out.
"You look beautiful."
"Thanks Jack."
"How is she?"
"Oddly, fine. Feeling a little nervous, but fine. She looks amazing."
"Good. Good. Almost ready?"
"You know it. You better get him up to the altar. Hide Zacharoni and have Max waiting out here in five minutes.
"Okay. Love you."
"You too." Ange said, and disappeared into Tempe's room. As they went up to the altar…
"Nervous?"
"A little." Seeley admitted.
"It's fine. Tempe is too."
"You saw her?"
"No. Asked Ange."
"Oh." He said as they arrived and took their places. He smiled at his parents and then the music started for the procession. Parker came out first and then Hayley and Emma.
Around the corner from the doors…Tempe is just coming out of her room. Max's heart feels like it stopped in his chest. Tempe turned around and locked eyes with him, and a smile broke out on her face.
"Dad!" She whispered, and ran over, embracing him tightly.
"You look beautiful, sweetheart." He whispered in her ear.
"Thanks."
"Seeley…"
"Yes. He had Cullen pull some strings. He's amazing."
"He is." Tempe said, nodding. Ange, Cam, and Amy had just started down the aisle, and not long after the wedding march began.
"Ready?" Max asked, holding out his arm.
"Yes." Tempe said, and took it, and together they made their way through the doors and down the aisle.
When Seeley saw Tempe, smiling and on her fathers arm, his eyes lit up.
"Damn, she looks beautiful." He thought.
The ceremony was simple, beautiful, and heartfelt. Afterwards, the wedding party drove to Jack's and had pictures done.
"Dr. Bones!" Parker called, and ran up to her.
"Hey Park. Be careful with the dress." She said easily. He understood, because of its pale color. They then took the pictures and Seeley and Tempe were the last two left, taking some duo pictures.
"I cannot believe we're married." Tempe said.
"I know." Seeley replied, shaking his head as they entered the house. They stood outside the ballroom doors, waiting for their names to be announced. While waiting, he pulled her to him and kissed her passionately. They didn't even notice that the doors had opened and their names and been said until catcalls began. Then, they broke apart, smiling.
"Everyone, Mr. and Mrs. Seeley Booth." Jack said, and they made their way in this time. They then did the cake and ended up shoving it in each others faces, but kissing afterwards. The food was buffet style, so people could take what they wanted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for their first dance." Jack said in a slow voice. The took the floor and waited for the song to begin. When it did, he twirled her gracefully around, both of them smiling.
The song was an acoustic version of "Your Arms Feel Like Home" by 3 Doors Down, played by Ange's fathers band.
Max and Tempe danced to Keep On Tryin', obviously.
"Okay, the next to songs are a request from the groom, for his beautiful bride. The first one is "Your Guardian Angel", the acoustic version, by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. And the second is "Blue Eyes" by Cary Brothers." Jack said.
They danced slowly to both songs, both having immense meaning.
"And this is funny, but the bride chose two songs as well." Everyone laughed.
"The first one is "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion and "The Reason" by Hoobastank. As they danced, not willing to share these moments that mean so much to them…
"Wow, Tempe. I didn't know you knew these songs." He whispered.
"It took me a long time to find them." She whispered back.
After they were done…
"Honey, look over there." Seeley said, moving his head in that direction. She did and her eyes locked with Zach's and then turned back to Seeley's.
"You…" She began, but couldn't express words so she just leaned up and kissed him passionately and then made a dash to Zach, Seeley following close behind. She embraced Zach tightly and he surprisingly returned the gesture.
"I'm so glad you're here, Zach." She whispered.
"Me too, Dr. Brennan, me too." He whispered back. They chatted and then she noticed Seeley, standing protectively nearby.
"I must talk to Seeley. I'll catch up later. Go find the others." Tempe said and Zach nodded and moved off.
"First my father and then Zach. You really are amazing."
"It's all because I lov-" He began, but was cut off by her lips on his.
"I know." She said once she pulled away.
The rest of the night was fun and they laughed and kissed and danced and drank the night away. It was by far the best time of their lives so far, and were so grateful to every one of their friends and family.
"We're loved." Tempe said as they made their way to their room to sleep before their early flight tomorrow.
"Yes, we are. A lot." Seeley replied, kissing her forehead gently before closing the door behind him, where both of them passed out from exhaustion, saving all their energy for the honeymoon.
And Tempe didn't let him see the underwear, smiling to herself as she went to sleep, both of them knowing it's her and him and him and her. Forever.
A/N: This is all for tonight. But that's a lot for me. But alas, I'm tired. So, reviews are appreciated as always. And I hope to get a message from you soon, Vebbie! And, as I haven't started a new chapter yet, it's pretty open, though I do have a specific direction I want the story to head in. Though that I'm not telling.
