'Here is the proof."
"Well Done Mc Tabby! However, with the 2 o clock feedings, it is impossible for Ziva or I to attend but I like to be included how about a video?"
"I will bring it up to Daniel to set up a closed intraweb broadcast to those unable to attend."
Tim now turned his attention on his boss.
"Gibbs?"
"What?"
"You want to attend?"
'No I am good."
"Ok Boss I just needed to know."
Gibbs sat at his desk remembering his own first wedding another rare smile flickered across his face.
Tim got up and went to see his wife on the way he stopped in autopsy.
"Hey Ducky / Palmer, how is things happening here?"
"Tim, if before you begin if you are asking if I would be attending the answer would be yes I will attend. Mr Palmer however has a different answer."
"Tim, I would love to attend but Becky is having her first dance recital that day. So sorry I guess I will have to see the video when you return."
Tim left Autopsy and entered his wife's area.
"Hi Honey"
Abby ran to her husband and kiss and cuddled.
"So it looks like you and me plus Ducky who are going to attend."
"No Gibbs?"
"I am afraid not."
"Leave Gibbs to me"

Karrin got an email she was standing at an internet café near the blighted zone of Chicago.
It was from Alex.
It is an invitation to his brother's wedding.

On a lark she agreed.
\\\\\
Peter Burke was getting his email. There was one from Alex.
Peter remembered working the sting with Alex impersonating his more famous brother. That was part of the Dragon campaign. It has been 3 years since that nightmare ended.
Peter could not believe the money trail went to the WH! That was a revelation which blew this case wide open. If it was not for Alex and Neal those records would have stayed secret. Many things have changed since those bad days. Neal after running was caught and he has only 2 more weeks Mar 26th he becomes free once again. Speaking of Neal he just walked in
"Hey Neal, would you come here please?"

"Hey Daniel Can I tear my finance away from you for a minute?"
"Sure"
Daniel thought what a great couple I am so lucky working here!

Rick and Kate walked back to her office. The first embraced then separated. Rick just loved that he could finally kiss her anytime he wanted. Kate became all business.
"Ok Rick I have put in for a Month for leave. Next we have cake tastings today."
