A/N: Sorry it has taken so long to get this chapter up, I was side-tracked, and then just plain lazy. This it folks, the end of the story, thanks a lot for sticking with it and thanks to everyone who reviewed, and to everyone who read it also. Thanks Goldilocks for all ya help on this mate…especially with the dress descriptions I totally suck at that shit!

Chapter 14

Sam and Jack decided to get married on their anniversary, but not that of the commencement of their relationship, but rather, of that of that first fateful briefing. Thor was dismayed to learn that he would not be collecting on a second bet, but was indeed gladdened to receive an invite to the highly classified reunion. The commissary had been earmarked as the reception destination, and the ceremony would be held in the base chapel, given the nature of some of the guests. Sam had decided on Janet and Cassie for her bridesmaids, the Hanka girl delighted at attending her first Earth wedding. Jack had chosen Daniel and Teal'c, giving the stoic Jaffa the role of a regular Groomsman, fearing he may take his role of Best Man too seriously. Hammond had been working tirelessly on finessing the security procedures, not that it would be much of an issue, but luck favours the prepared, and the presence of Bra'tac, Ry'ac and Jacob would be enough to halt any that wish to put a damper on the day.

Jack had decided to wear his dress blues, and they were hard pressed in convincing Teal'c not to wear the traditional garb on Chu'lac for the occasion. Jack stood at the alter, rocking nervously on the balls of his feet, waiting for the blast door to open, when he saw Cassie and Janet beamed into the chapel wearing red full-length dresses, the neck cut modestly high made of satin with a full skirt. The spaghetti straps and swathe of fine lace angling from right shoulder to left hip added a certain flare to the already stylish dresses. Janet wore flowers twisted into her shorter hair while Cassie's hair was twisted to flow over her shoulders and down her back. Jack grabbed Daniel's arm to support him at the sight of Janet walking up the aisle, but his eyes were pulled away at the flash of blue light to see Sam standing there with her megawatt grin in a white satin, modest bust line, silver highlight of flowery twists picked out with pearls and crystals over her bust. She began to follow Janet and Cassie up the aisle, her eyes never leaving Jack's as Jacob gave her away and they said their vows. Jack kissing Sam to the catcalls of the guests in the chapel. They all filed out to the commissary, Jack and Sam not letting go of one another, and taking quite a while to get there, being congratulated by everyone they passed on the way. They stopped dead at the sight of a karaoke machine taking pride of place in the commissary before taking their seat at the bridal table for the remaining formalities of the day, before the fun could begin.

Jack was pleased to see that Daniel had caught the garter and Janet the bouquet, causing them both to blush profusely, and looked up shocked when General Hammond and Jacob stumbled over to the karaoke machine and clumsily selected a song

Well a man, come on
Six o'clock news
Says somebody been shot
Somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole their car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn't get too far, yeah
They didn't get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy
Back in my day, son
A man had to answer
For the wicked thing he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys
And hang 'em high in the street
For all the people to see

And justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back
At the local saloon

We'll raises up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"

We got too many gangsters
Doing dirty deeds
Too much corruption
And crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law
Put a few more in the ground
Send them all to their Maker
And he'll set them on down
You can bet, He'll set 'em down

Cause justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gunsmoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back
At the local saloon

And we'll raise up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!

You know justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gunsmoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all met back
At the local saloon

We'll raise up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"
Singing ,"Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!'

At the final lines of the song, the entire commissary raised their glasses and downed them in a single gulp in salute to the flagship team. And as the night wore on, Sam and Jack were looking to make their exit, not having much luck, and Jacob coming over holding a large wad of cash praising them on the date they chose to get married. They finally finished saying their goodbyes before they were beamed up to Minnesota for a week at Jack's cabin.

Well there it is folks all done…I'm not overly happy with this chapter, but it needed to be done and it was not gonna matter how long I left it, I was still gonna struggle. I do not own the song; it is Toby Keith's "Beer For My Horses", my last promise to Goldilocks, having Hammond and Jacob singing. Please R&R and thank you all so much for reading, I hope it didn't suck too much
