Author's Note: Okay, so… I'm really excited to write the wedding. Seriously. Alright, bye.

Day One

"Good morning, dear," Hotch smiled as Emily began to wake up. He was already looping his tie onto his shirt.

"Oh, hey," she grinned tiredly.

"So, the invitations are already out there. We should be getting our RSVP's by email," he informed her, combing his hair out.

"Yay!" she clapped excitedly, climbing out of bed. He pressed a kiss to her lips as he latched together his briefcase and left the house.

"Jack? Are you awake?" Emily knocked on his door. She pushed it open to find Macy sitting on his chest, tugging at his messy mop of hair.

"Morning," he grinned. Emily chuckled, sitting down at the foot of his bed. Macy turned and gave her a confused look, then waved her arms at her mother.

"Do you wanna go to Mama?" Jack cooed, sitting up.

"Ma-Ma!" Macy managed. Emily giggled and cradled Macy in her arms.

"Jack, could you grab me her bottle, please?" Emily asked politely. Jack obliged and handed Emily the bottle of formula.

"Can I do it?" Jack asked. Emily smiled.

"Of course. Here, hold her head up like this. Tilt it back a little-there you go," she instructed. "Now, lift the bottle up a little higher so she can get the milk out… Perfect!"

"Go take a shower. I got this," he smiled. She kissed her two children on the forehead.

"If you need help, just holler," she got up, leaving creases in his sheets.

-Later, at lunchtime-

Ring, ring!

Emily picked up the phone, swallowing the last bite of her sandwich. She shifted Macy in her lap.

"This is Emily," she answered.

"Em! It's me, JJ," JJ greeted.

"Oh, hey! What's up?" Emily smiled, glad to hear JJ's voice.

"We got the invitations! Penelope and I are coming over there to take you, Macy, and Jack shopping. You need a dress, girlfriend! And Pen and I, being not only your bridesmaids, but your best friends, will do everything in our power to make sure that you get the perfect dress! " JJ announced. At Emily's moment of silence, she added, "If you're not busy, of course."

"Oh, no! I'm not busy. How soon can you get here?" Emily replied.

"How soon do you want us?" JJ shot back quirkily. Emily chuckled as she hung up the phone.

"Jack, get ready. Penelope and JJ are picking us up in a few," she called to Jack, who was upstairs on the computer.

"Alright, I'm coming down right now," he called back. Soon enough, JJ and Penelope arrived, ringing Emily's doorbell.

"Hey, Pussycat!" Garcia greeted brightly, pecking Emily on the cheek. JJ threw her arms around Emily in a staggering hug.

"Geez, guys. You act like you'll never see me again!" Emily chuckled. The two blushed.

"Sorry. We just like you THAT much," JJ giggled. Emily rolled her eyes just as Jack walked down the stairs. Emily balanced Macy on her hip.

"You ready?" she asked Jack. He nodded, and the group took off for the bridal shop.

-David's Bridal-

"Good afternoon, ladies," a beach-blonde receptionist greeted. "And gentleman," she acknowledged Jack. "And may I ask who the lovely bride is?"

"Me," Emily piped up sheepishly, raising her hand just above her waist. The receptionist looked her up and down, then beamed.

"You are gorgeous, hon. I never would've guessed you just gave birth! Anyway, Max will be here soon. He'll fit you and your bridesmaids into some beautiful dresses. He can also find a dress for your beautiful daughter," the receptionist explained, smiling, her nametag indicating that she was to be called 'Sophie'.

"Thank you," Emily smiled. Garcia accepted Macy into her arms and took her outside for air, Jack following close behind. Emily leaned forward on her elbows and blew air out from her mouth. JJ rubbed her back.

"You'll be amazing, Em. There's nothing to be nervous about," JJ assured her soothingly. Emily frowned and shook her head.

"I don't know, Jayje. What if I get cold feet? I-I just wouldn't be able to face Aaron after that. Ever."

"Emily, do you love him?" JJ asked. Emily frowned.

"Of course, JJ, but that's not the-"

JJ cut her off. "Well, then you won't get cold feet. You and I both know, and he knows, that you love each other unconditionally. You're already an amazing mother. You're going to be an amazing wife, as well. You'll do great. I promise."

Emily had a doubtful look on her face, but trusted her best friend's wise words. At that moment, Max, the dress designer, pranced into the room. Thin-rimmed glasses were perched atop a perfect nose. His hair rose up into a curled puff, and his sharp navy suit matched well with his black leather shoes. Max's stunning green eyes settled on Emily, his face lighting up at the sight of her.

"YOU," he breathed, taking her hands, pulling her up, and twirling her around, "Are completely drop-dead brilliant." Emily blushed.

"I'm Emily," she smiled. Max grinned, looking her up and down.

"Oh, darling, you are going to make this so easy for me. Come, my dear. Let's go find you a dress."

Garcia, Macy, and Jack stepped in almost immediately. Max peered at Macy.

"Oh my, that is a gorgeous child you have there, Miss Prentiss. We can find her a beautiful little dress to match her mommy," Max cooed, chucking Macy gently under the chin with a long finger. The group followed Max through a narrow hallway, then stepped into a large, white, round room. An endless plethora of dresses hung from the walls, in different styles and sizes. A solitary white couch was placed in the center of the room, just across from the dressing stall. JJ, Garcia, and Jack took a seat, Macy cradled in JJ's arms. Max took Emily by the arm and led her in front of a mirror. He placed a hand on each side of her waist just under her chest and ran them down, stopping at her hips. He looked up sheepishly.

"You don't mind, do you?" he joked. She grinned and shook her head.

"Do what you gotta do."

So he continued on to take her measurements. Once he was finished, he stepped back.

"What kind of dress were you looking for? Do you want a shorter one, a long one…" he lead on. Emily bit her lip in though.

"You'd look hot in something form-fitting," Garcia piped up, grinning wickedly. Emily rolled her eyes.

"You know what, you are completely right, my dear!" Max smiled at Garcia. He cocked his hip to the side and thought. Finally, he pulled out at least seven dresses.

Unfortunately, every time Emily was sent to the stall, she came back, not feeling the dress. Max frowned.

"You're right. Those don't really flatter your body… I do have one that I wouldn't normally give to just anybody, but I think I can manage. I'll be back," he grinned brightly. He returned with a plastic bag carrying the 'secret weapon'. He handed the bag to her, and she returned to the stall once more.

She stepped out of the stall, and everyone gasped, including Max.

"Oh-my-God," he gasped, squealing excitedly. Emily grinned.

"How do I look?"

The dress was flowing and white. The bodice was tightly laced to match Emily's lean figure. There was a soft, silk wraparound that was sewn onto the dress, hugging her hips. The hem of the dress fluffed out a bit. A trail of beads formed in the shape of leaves dropped down to the very bottom of the dress, sparkling under the bright lights of the room. The straps of the dress were thin where they were attached to the dress, and grew wider as they covered her shoulders, almost forming a 'V'.

"Holy crap, Mom! You look amazing," Jack beamed. Even Macy had a small grin on her face.

"Em…" JJ started. There were no words to describe how beautiful she looked.

"My pussycat, you are smokin' hot!" Garcia giggled. Emily blushed and looked in the mirror. She did look amazing.

"Would you taking this one?" Max smiled, proud of himself for choosing the most gorgeous dress. Emily nodded, a lump in her throat.

"Okay, dear. Go get dressed, and I'll meet you all at the register." Max exited the room, leaving the women and Jack to themselves.

After Emily changed, Jack intertwined his arm with hers, like a true gentleman. "You looked really gorgeous, Mom," he grinned. Emily smiled.

"Thanks, babe. Let's go see the damage," she winced. Jack frowned.

"Dad didn't tell you?" he asked. Emily raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't tell me what?"

"The dress is already paid for," Jack said in a 'duh' tone. Emily laughed as the rest of the group moved on.

And to herself, she murmured, "Aaron, you are truly something else."
