Pretty much everything was ready by Thanksgiving, Garcia would officiate, Henry would be the ring bearer, Spencer's cousin, Tim would be the best man, and the other groomsmen would be Morgan and Hotch. Rossi had bowed out but offered to give a toast at the reception, (as well as host the reception). They'd also tried to recruit Paul's identical twin brother, Joey… but he had made it clear that he couldn't stand going up in front of a crowd of people even if all he had to do was show up and stand there.

In the back of his mind, Spencer secretly wanted his mother at the wedding… but he knew that couldn't happen. That would involve a two full week round-trip drive across the country and that meant there just wasn't enough time to make that happen. Not when he was the only one who could sign her out of Bennington and she was so scared of flying. He may as well just accept it now. She wouldn't be able to come. He had plenty of vacation time coming to him but since he was already going to be out for another three weeks for the honeymoon, he just didn't feel right even asking. He didn't want to leave the team a man down for so long.

In the meantime, Reid and Maeve had picked out a house. It was an old, colonial brownstone with four bedrooms, so that they'd have room to have kids someday without having to move again, and would have room for a small, home library… These had been their main must-haves. Because to put it mildly, their now-shared apartment currently looked like a bookshop from before shelves were invented and neither one of them wanted to give up a single volume.

Meanwhile, Joseph Reid, Joey, was practicing forging his cousin's signature. He would need to get Aunt Diana a temporary release from her hospital. Only on Spencer's order was she ever to leave that place, he had power of attorney over her and had ever since he turned eighteen and put her in there. It had been a good idea at the time, and to a large extent still was…it was just making things difficult at the moment. Fortunately the doctors themselves were unlikely to be able to tell the difference, because he, Paul, and Spencer, were ALL genetically identical. Aunt Diana and Joseph and Paul's own mother, Spencer's Aunt Megan, were a pair of identical twin sisters, and the same was true of their fathers… William and Daniel Reid, though Paul and Joseph's father had died when his sons were only four years of age and they hadn't seen their uncle since he had flat out abandoned his own wife and son. Even with the exact same genetics present in their parents it was still an extraordinary fluke of nature that Spencer was genetically identical to his cousins, even more amazing that they were all within hours of the exact same age.

Only their styles, interests, and talents separated the three men. All it would take to pull it off would be to ditch Joey's own over-sized jeans and plaid flannel shirt for something more like something Spencer would pick out and use contacts instead of his glasses. Then no one would know the difference, well except maybe Aunt Diana herself. In reality she actually wasn't crazy so much at unstable and unable to be trusted to take care of herself without someone watching her like a hawk. In fact, even if she was only semi-lucid she would still know the difference. She knew her son and she knew her nephews… he just hoped that he could manage to convince her not to sound the alarm long enough to get her out of there.
