Armed And Dangerous-Ch 21
Derek gently squeezed Penelopes hand as the minister continued the ceremony, she glanced over at Derek and felt her heart racing as he winked at her, they had been through so much and now everything was falling into place. The minister smiled as he looked around the room and said, "I understand that you two have written your own vows, is this correct"?, they looked at each other and then him and in unison said, "yes sir".
He then asked for the rings and grinned as Emily and Hotch stepped forward and handed them to him, he looked at the nervous and happy couple and said, "Derek I need you to slid the ring onto Penelopes finger and then recite your vows". He nodded his head as he took the ring into his hand, he took a deep breath as he slid the ring onto her finger.
Derek looked her in the eye and said, "Penelope you are the light of my life and I love you with all my heart", Penelope felt a tear streaming down her cheek as he said, "you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I promise here in front of our family and friends to love, honor and cherish you everyday for the rest of our lives".
The minister then looked at Penelope and said, "Penelope I need you to slid this ring onto Dereks finger and then recite your vows", she nodded her head yes as she took the ring into his hand. She nervously slid the ring onto his finger and then looked him lovingly in the eyes as she said, "Derek Morgan, you are my guiding light,
my best friend and today you become my husband".
Derek smiled as she said, "I promise to you here today that I will spend everyday proving how much I love you", she took a deep breath and said, "I love you Derek Morgan and for us the best is yet to be". The minister said, "if there is anyone that can show just cause why these two can't be lawfully joined, let them speak now or forever hold their peace".
When nobody responded he said, "by the powers vested in me by this state I now pronounce you husband and wife", they stood there looking at each other for a few seconds before he said, "Derek you may now kiss your bride". Derek raised her veil and cupped her face in his hands and leaned in and pressed his lips agaisnt hers, when they pulled apart he whispered, "I love you Mrs. Morgan".
Penelope grinned and said, "and I love you Mr. Morgan" before leaning in for another kiss, they then pulled apart when the minister said, "it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Derek Morgan". As they walked up the aisle toward the reception area they passed by their family and friends as they shouted their well wishes to the newlyweds.
When they got into the middle room Derek stopped and pulled her into his arms, he crashed his lips against hers in a passionate kiss, when they pulled apart he rested his forehead against hers and said, "you're mine now goddess, now and forever". She giggled and said, "forever is a great place to start", he laughed and said, "that it is baby, that it is" as they made their way into the reception hall.
As they stepped tot he middle of the room the DJ stepped forward and said, "let's give it up for the bride and groom everybodyyyyyy", Derek wrapped his arms around her and smiled as the music for their first dance started. Penelope grinned as Here and Now started playing, she said, "this is one of my favorite songs", he winked at her and said, "and I thought it would be perfect for our first dance".
She kissed his lips gently as they swayed across the room, as Hotch watched the happy couple he grinned and said, "it's about time", Emily kissed his lips and said, "I agree Aaron, it's about time". Hotch then felt his cell buzzing in his pocket, he took it out and said, "I have to take this" as he walked outside, after a few rings he said, "Hotchner".
By the time he had walked back into the room the newlyweds were at the bridal table surrounded by the rest of the team, he walked over and said, "sorry about that but it was about Kevins trial". Derek said, "so when is it"?, Hotch said, "well he isn't going to have a regular trial he's agreed to have the case heard to only a judge".
Dave said, "I guess he is afraid that 12 people would do more damage then one judge", Penelope said, "so when does his trial start"?, he said, "well that's the bad part it's tomorrow". Derek said, "tomorrow but this is our wedding day, we are suppose to leave to go on our honeymoon in a few hours", Dave said, "well you can still go and we can" Penelope said, "no, I have to be here to see the look on his face when he gets his punishment".
Fran said, "the sooner this trial is over the better and then you can start your honeymoon", Dave kissed his wife on the cheek and said, "I'll be right back", he then grabbed his cell and headed out of the room.
