My mind is all over the place, thinking about the wedding. Going by what ECO said in an interview this is one of the many scenarios that came to mind. (Season Finale)
—-
What just happened? Did that really just happen? She almost died. He almost died. Hell the whole team almost died. And for what? Sure they saved Mosley's son from his crime lord father, but they almost didn't make it out. How many more times are they gonna put other people's happiness before their own? How many more days are they going to let go by before one of them actually does get seriously injured again or worse, killed?
"I think we should get married." She says, bringing him out of his thoughts.
Deeks turns to his fiancée. "Uh…I thought we were getting married?"
Kensi looks away from where the the paramedics are putting Mosley's son into the Evac helicopter and looks at him, seriousness in her eyes. "I mean, when we get home. When we get off the plane, lets go straight to the court house." She grabs his hands and intertwines their fingers. "Forget the flower arrangements. Forget the length of the table clothes. And for get the venue. All I need is you." She kisses him, then pulls back, placing her forehead on his. "All I need is you."
He's quite shocked at her declaration really. "Are you sure? I mean, I know the planning was stressing you out but you seemed like you really wanted the whole hoopla and you already found the perfect dress."
"We almost died today. We almost died and I wasn't your wife. We almost died and you weren't my husband. This may sound morbid but when I die, I want to die as your wife." She say, chuckling.
Deeks places a kiss on her nose. "I want to die as your husband."
Wow this is a dark conversation. They both think to themselves.
Then what usually happens in her head happens. She begins to question herself. "But what if Mosley splits us up for good once we get married?"
He knows she has doubts about them being able to stay partners, because he does too. "Baby, listen to me. No matter what, it's you and me. I'm tired of us putting the job before our happiness. I think it's our turn to choose us; to put our happiness first for once."
She nods her head, understanding what he's saying. "But I love being your partner. I want you to be the one to have my back and I have yours, because I trust you like I've never trusted anyone in my life and without that…without you by my side I don't think I could do my job."
"I know. I know. I feel the same way." He looks in her beautiful mismatched eyes and then kisses her. "But I don't think she'll split us up. Not if Callen or Hetty has anything to say about it."
She knows he's right. Callen and Hetty know how their team works and how well the partners work together. "But the day they split us up is the day I resign. Although, I think we both know we're not going to be doing this job for much longer."
He raises his eyebrows. "Oh, yeah? And what will we be doing instead?"
She pulls him in for a hug, laying her head on his chest. "Mmmm. We'll be running our surf shop on a beach in Bali, raising some ninja assassin surfers."
"I can see it now. You in a bikini looking all hot and sexy, all the local boys signing up for surf lessons thinking you're giving the lessons; that's when I show up and they get bamboozled." He smiles and can feel her shake with laughter against his chest. "And these ninja assassin surfers….how many do you see?"
She doesn't respond for a minute. "Two. Boy and girl.'
"Ah. So, Kensi Jr. and Marty Jr.?"
"Hahaha. No."
He smiles then sobers. "So we're really doing this? We're really going to get married as soon as we get back?"
"Yeah, if you want."
"If I want? Kens, I've wanted this for so long now." He places a kiss on the top of her head.
"Me too."
They pull apart and make their way to the SUV to wait for the others so they can head back to the airport.

At the airport, while Kensi is in the restroom Deeks uses the opportunity and starts planning the surprise of a life time for his bride-to-be.
He text the only four women that he knows can pull his plan off in just a few short hours. They all respond quickly and excitedly. So now that Nell, Julia, Roberta and Hetty have their task he has a few more thing that need to be put in to place.
"So, guys, Kensi and I decided to get married when we get back. She thinks we're going to go to the court house, but I know how much she really wants an actual wedding and she deserves that so much and I'm gonna give it to her. Our moms, Nell and Hetty said they can make it happen. Once we land we're gonna need to stall for like an hour, they should have everything ready by then…" He catches a glimpse of Kensi coming back. "She's coming back. Remember this is a surprise."
"We got you covered man. " Sam tells him, patting his back. Callen shakes his head in agreement.
Kensi smiles when she sees the exchange between the boys. "What's going on over here?"
"Just seeing if there's any update from Mosley yet." Deeks says.
She sits down next to Deeks, placing her hand on his thigh and squeezing it. "And?"
"Nothing, I'm sure she's just glad that she finally has her son back. She's probably focusing on that right now."
"Yeah, I can't even imagine. We are never letting our kids out of our site." She says leaning her head on his shoulder.
"You got that right." Deeks agrees.
Sam just laughs. "You guys have no idea. That's way easier said than done. Believe me."
Deeks turns to him. "Yeah, we know it's just wishful thinking. Besides I think we learned from the best. We'll just chip them. Like you did with Kam."
"Hey, I didn't chip her. I just put a tracker in her phone."
"Potato, Patato."
They just landed at the airstrip and while Kensi gets her bag Deeks shoots off a quick text to see how the plans are coming along.
Just landed. How are things coming along? - Deeks
Great! Julia has Kensi's dress, then she and Roberta went to your house, got the rings and Monty. Now they're on their way to get the cake. Hetty being Hetty got suits for you, Sam, Callen and Eric and got my dress. I just got the permit for your spot on the beach and made reservations for dinner at Malibu Farm. - Nell
Wow! That's amazing. Thank you so much. - Deeks
No thanks needed. We need some happiness around here for a change. You and Kens deserve this! - Nell
I'm glad someone besides us sees that. :) - Deeks
Okay, give us one more hour and everything should be set. - Nell
See you in a bit. - Deeks
See ya. - Nell
As Deeks slips his phone back into his pocket Kensi returns with her bag in hand. "Ready, babe?"
Stepping closer to her, he whispers in her ear. "Lets go get hitched."
When they get out onto the tarmac they meet up with Sam and Callen. "You guys ready?"
They both nod their heads.
Kensi grabs Deeks' hand as they walk to the car and gives him a knowing smile. "You ready?"
"Most definitely." He says, squeezing her hand.

An hour later they finally make it to the mission so they can pick up their car and then head to the court house. Or so she thinks. Deeks leads Kensi in, Sam and Callen walk in behind them. As soon as they walk into the bullpen Kensi stops.
There, standing in front of her is Nell in her Maid of Honor dress, Eric in his tux and Hetty in a black pant suit.
Kensi turns to her fiancé. "What's going on?"
"What's going on is, we're getting married." He grabs her hand and pulls her close, cupping her jaw. "It may not be as big as we planned but the few people that we love and that love us will be there. Most importantly, we will be there." He pecks her lips.
Sam interrupts them. "Hey! None of that until you're married."
"Fine! Have it your way." Deeks says dramatically.
"Alright, lovebirds, say goodbye." Nell says as she starts walking towards them.
They lock eyes and share a soulful smile. "Bye, groom."
He squeezes her hand. "Bye, bride."
"Alright, chop, chop. We've things to do, places to go." Hetty yells, getting everyone back on track.

They arrive to the beach separately. Deeks and the guys get there first and are greeted by the moms, Monty, Talia and Hidoko. A few minutes later Kensi, Nell and Hetty arrive. Everyone takes their places. Hetty, the officiant, stands next to Deeks. The best man, Sam, stands next to Deeks. Eric grabs his phone and starts to play the music. Nell walks down first and takes her spot.
The music changes and then he sees her. "Breathtaking" is all he can say.
They look at each other the entire time, tears in both of their eyes. When she and Callen finally reach him she can't grab his hand quick enough.
"Hi." She says, smiling her brightest smile he thinks he's ever seen.
"Hi." He says, as a stray tear falls down his face, before he can wipe it away she does it for him.
They're broken out of their trance when Hetty begins to speak. "Friends. Family. We are here today to join Marty and Kensi in Holy Matrimony. And may I say, it's about damn time."
Everyone erupts with laughter. Kensi and Deeks, smile, look at each other and shrug. She's right.
"The couple has decided to write their own vows. That being said, Marty."
Deeks, smiles and just gets lost in the beautiful mismatched eyes of his bride, placing the ring on her finger. "Kensi Marie Blye, you're it for me. You are the best person I know. Your heart. Your kindness. Your integrity. Your strength. And that smile. That Kensi Blye smile. That smile is my home. To have your love is the greatest possession I own. I promise to love you the way you deserved to be loved. I promise to take care of you, to cherish you the way that you deserved to be cherished. You brought the light back into my life, Sunshine." He winks at her, she laughs at him using one of the many nicknames that he's given her over the years. "You make me want to be the best man I can possibly be, because you, my beautiful Kensi, deserve nothing but the best. I promise to love you until the end of time and back. Kens, I promise to be yours forever." He brings her hand to his lips and kisses it.
Tears are falling from her eyes. She doesn't know if she'll be able to get through this without balling her eyes out. She's already a blubbery mess.
"Kensi." Hetty gives her the go ahead.
He wipes the tears from her eyes and gives her hands a reassuring squeeze. And that's all she needs.
She places the ring on his finger. "Martin Deeks, you are my world. Before I met you I was just a shell of a woman. I was too serious for my own good. I didn't let people in and then you came along, with your blue eyes and glorious hair." She smiles, and pokes him in the chest. "You are the greatest person I know and the love of my life. When things in our life got shaken up so many times you were there to reassure me that no matter what we go through, no matter what obstacles we may face, we are stronger together. You are my rock. My safe haven. You are my heart and soul. I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm glad I did it. The love that you show me everyday is something that can't be explained. The way you make me feel is nothing short of extraordinary. I promise to love you just as fiercely. I promise to always stand by your side. I promise to encourage your dreams and live all my days being "bold" with you. You deserve the world, my love. I promise to love you until the end of time and back. Marty, I promise to be yours forever." She smiles, wiping the tears from his eyes.
Deeks tries to lean and kiss her, how can he not, but Hetty stops him. "Hold it."
"Aw." He pouts and everyone laughs.
Hetty waits a few seconds and smiles. "Now. Mr. Deeks, you may kiss your bride."
He grabs her face and pulls her in to the most passionate kiss either of them can remember sharing.
It's a good minute and they're still in raptured in their kiss. Everything and everyone else melts away.
"Ahem." Hetty breaks their trance.
The pull apart so they can breath but don't let got of their embrace, realizing that they got a bit carried away, a blush rises to both of their cheeks.
"I present you Marty and Kensi Deeks!"
Everyone cheers. Both moms have tears in their eyes.
The newlyweds make their way to a private alcove before they have to meet back with the others.
Once they're out of sight he brings her back into a loving, passionate kiss. When air becomes necessary they pull back but don't let go of each other's embrace.
Kensi places her forehead on her husband's. "We did it, hubby."
He pecks her lips. "We sure did, wifey."
"I love you."
"I love you." He brings her back into a kiss.
"SAVE IT FOR THE HONEYMOON!" Callen yells from where the couple was standing earlier.
They break the kiss, laughing.
Grabbing her hand they start to walk back to where their guest are. Sometimes if you want it to be your turn you gotta make it your turn.
That's what they did.
