Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a little while. I've been really stressed out lately with my family, and friends and crap like that. So I've had this story written for a while I just never had the time to post it. hope you like it!

recap: Kate got a letter her mom wrote before she died. Lanie came to tell kate it was time! :D

As he walked her down the little aisle the chairs set up in his backyard formed, he saw the look in his soon-to-be son-n-law's face. He recognized that look. He had that same look on his face about 40 years ago. That look told him that his baby girl would be in good hand. It told him everything he needed to know. It told him someone loved his little girl as much as he did, it told him that this was going to last forever. This is the day he'd been waiting for since his daughter was born. Jim and Johanna's little girl was finally opening up or at least making a promise to open up fully.

Rick watched as her father walked her down the aisle. Her eyes sparkled with delight. She was glowing and as gorgeous as ever. Rick just couldn't take his eyes off her. This may have been his third wedding but he knew it was going to be his last. When Kate and her father finally made it to the end of the aisle, Jim gave her a kiss on the forehead and handed her off to Rick knowing that it was going to be the last time he was going to be able to say that she was all his and he didn't mind at all. He loved Rick almost as much as he loved his own daughter.

As the priest started to talk, Rick and Kate just stared at each other. At one point Rick mouthed 'you're so beautiful' to her and she blushed furiously. Then it was time for them to exchange their vows and Rick knew exactly what to say.

"I've been waiting for this my whole life... my third wedding!" Kate smacked him and gave him a scowl. Rick laughed and grabbed her hand to hold it, "here I am standing in front of the most beautiful woman in the world and she's actually agreed to marry ME of all people. I may not know much but I know I love you so much Kate and I know I could do so, so much worse and you could do so much better.

I'm in love with you... oh gosh, am I ever in love with you. Just being away from you for an hour kills me, figuratively. I'm in love with the way you look, talk, think, speak, even your adorable snoring when you sleep." Another smack "I know I've been a big pain in the ass since we met, and I know that I do almost everything wrong but I try my hardest to fix it.

I promise to try to be the best husband I can be. I promise to spoil you rotten and bug the hell out of you and get on your nerves every day, but I also promise to cherish and love you with all my heart for the rest of my life no matter what happens. No matter if you and I get into an argument and I'm sleeping on the couch or even a motel for a week, because everyone knows I'd deserve it. I love you more than words can say and I'm someone who rarely is at a loss for words, and because of that Kate, you're my love, my life, my soul, my forever, my heart and my one and done."

Rick brought her hand up to place a gentle kiss on it. Kate blushed and smiled at him. Now it was her turn to say her vows.

"I'm not like Rick and have a way with words but...Rick... you're a major pain in my ass. You make up the craziest stories ever, you never listen to what I tell you to do, you ask the most random questions and you never leave me alone even if I tell you to. But the thing that attracts you to a person the most is usually that thing that just drives you crazy. You're not all bad though. You listen to what I have to say, you're so determined, you think outside of the box when everyone else waits for the answer to hit them square in the face. You've taught me how to open up, how to be open minded. You've taught me that it's okay to disobey orders sometimes and to never give up on things you believe in. My mother's death was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me. I hide who I was and told that part of me to never allow anyone in... Ever, but you... you taught me that hurting is a part of life. Pain lets you know that you're alive. Sometimes I treat you like crap, like you're a given and I'm extremely sorry for that. I love you more than life itself and I'm so glad I chose you to spend the rest of my life with. I must contradict some of the things you've said though. I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world and I can't do better than you. You're the best of the best and I love you with all my heart and soul and I will try to be a great wife but you'll need to give me time... this is my first wedding after all" Kate smiled slyly at Rick and he pulled her closer to him and said,

"and hopefully your last." The priest said a few more things and they place the rings on each other's finger. Finally, he said those five words that Rick had been waiting for all day...

"You may kiss the bride." Rick grabbed Kate's hand and pulled her in for a long, sweet, kiss. After the kiss he rested his forehead against hers and whispered,

"Finally."
