A/N: If everyone will take their seats, the wedding is about to commence. Hope you enjoy this special day for Dean and Sky. I do like writing about the guys and them getting to have some normal in their lives. Because the chapter got so long I have divided it into two. So there will be two more chapters and our journey will be ended. Thank you to all who have come along with me for the ride. Love to know your thoughts, please comment. NC

Chapter 25

The weather at least cooperated for the day of the wedding and it was set up outside by the lake with the sun coming up behind them bathing the place in warm rays of light. Gentle fog rolled across the lake making it look mystical and right out of a story book. There was a trellis with burgundy, matching her dress, and white roses, baby's breath and greenery woven over it with contrasting ribbon giving it an enchanted feeling. A vase of the same color roses sat elevated on either side of the trellis in front of a small candelabrum of lit candles. The chairs were arranged in rows around the front with small bouquets of roses and ribbons tied to stakes at the end anchoring down the white paper that ran down the middle to the front. On it were sprinkled different colored rose petals. Soft music was playing in the background as people began to arrive and were milling around talking before it was time to start. Cole had set up two video cameras to record the ceremony and Krissy was in charge of the music. It was going to be a small wedding with only family and closest of friends putting the head count to around twenty-five.

"Oh my goodness Sky, the place looks beautiful," Sasha gushed as she slipped into the changing room.

"The flowers couldn't be more perfect and the setting is gorgeous. The sun coming up like that makes the whole place look like...Wow, words can't describe it, it's ethereal looking to say the least. I tell you someone was looking out for us today giving us this nice weather. Oh Sky! I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks for being such a wonderful friend, sister, and the one person I know will always be there for me. I'm so glad Mother Nature approves, I was afraid it would rain or worse. How's my hair?" Sky asked turning so Sasha could see it. She had swept it up in the back and pinned it with a delicate hair comb but left strands curling down to frame her face. She just had on a hint of makeup and eye shadow wanting to be as natural as possible. She used lip gloss on her lips and looked up at Sasha.

"Perfect," Sasha said looking at her hair closely and her makeup.

"I can't believe it's finally here. God, I'm getting married," Sky said sitting back down in a chair sort of shell shocked.

Dean was the man of her dreams, but she never thought she'd find him hunting for her kidnapped brother. Dean was so much more than she could have hoped for as far as understanding her and letting her be herself. He never tried to change her or mold her into something she wasn't. She was still amazed at how he brought both her and her brother into his family and was readily accepted without hesitation. He was her knight in shining armor with a shiny, black Impala.

"Me either. Are you ready for your dress?" Sasha asked pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Yes, I hope it looks as good on me now as it did in the shop. I tried to watch my eating so I wouldn't gain any weight and it not fit."

"I'm sure it will, it was made for you," Sasha told her unzipping the garment bag to take out the dress. She carefully removed it and turned to Sky helping her slip it over her head and letting it cascade down her body. The fabric swirled around Sky's body and like magic clung to her like a glove. Sasha straightened the webbing on her back making sure it was not wrinkled or puckered. She stepped back and let Sky look at herself in the mirror.

"Wow," she whispered looking at the image staring back at her. "Is that really me?" It was just as gorgeous as the first time she wore it. She slipped on the heels and took a few steps watching the dress dance around her, shimmering and gleaming with the change in lighting. Sky looked toward the door when someone tapped on it.

"Who is it?" Sasha asked opening the door a crack and peeking out.

"It's me," Jody said stepping into the room after Sasha opened the door more to let her in. Jody took one look at Sky and said, "Oh my dear, you are a beautiful bride. And you were right, this dress...Wait 'til Dean lays his eyes on you, his eyes are gonna pop out."

"Thanks Jody," Sky said looking down at her attire. "Crap, I can't stop shaking," she cried clasping her hands together as she trembled slightly. "I don't know if I've told you thanks for being a fill in mom for me and Cole and allowing us to join your family."

"It's okay, you'll be fine and I'm so glad Dean found you and you're both so happy," Jody told her taking her hands and squeezing them. Tears sprang to her eyes as she saw the joy and happiness on Sky's face. "I better get out there it's almost time. Dean wanted me to keep an eye on Crowley to be sure there's no funny business," she said wiping her eyes and kissing Sky on the cheek.

"So he did come? You know I'm glad, I think he needs a little fun and to see what family is really like. He seems intrigued with me. I'm not sure exactly why, except that I captured Dean. He's curious about how I did that like I cast a spell over him or something."

"If you say so, my experiences with him aren't the greatest. But I've got to say, Dean is one lucky man."

"Thanks Jody but I feel like I'm the lucky one here."

"Okay, my turn," Sasha said taking her dress out and laying it across the couch so she could slip out of her jeans and tee shirt and into her bride's maid dress. "Wanna button me up?"

"Of course," Sky said moving behind her and fastening her dress. "I have to say, both these dresses are breathtaking. I can't wait for Sam to see you in your's."

"Which one of these necklaces should I wear?" she asked holding up the chains.

"Neither, I think this will look better with this," Sky said holding out a box to Sasha.

"What's this?"

"A small token of my appreciation for helping and being the sister I never had."

Sasha opened the box to find a delicate sterling silver necklace with a silver cross outlined in diamonds.

"It's lovely and you're right, it does go perfect with the dress," she said turning to look in the mirror at herself. "Thank you," she cried hugging Sky tightly.

"No crying, we just got our makeup on," Sky whined wiping her eyes and checking her mascara.

They turned to the door when someone knocked again and heard a male voice.

"Sky you ready?" Jethro asked through the door. "We've got ten minutes."

"Yes, we're ready," Sky called back going to the door and opening it.

Jethro just stood there and stared at both of them stunned by their exquisite beauty. He smiled at both of them before stepping in the room.

"Both of you will knock your guys off their feet. Sky you are a beautiful bride and Sasha, you couldn't be more lovely," he said softly. "Come, it'll be an honor to escort you two outside."

"You okay bro?" Sam asked Dean for the fifth time as he watched him pace the room and check himself in the mirror and adjust his tie again. Dean had the look of a deer in headlights on his face as he puffed out a mouth full of air and checked his watch again.

Sky had picked black slacks and boots and dove grey button ups with ties with a mingling of colors from dark grey to light grey to burgundy. The brothers did clean up very nicely and the bride and groom were going to make a dashing couple.

"I'm fine," Dean barked looking up from his pacing. "Is it time yet? Man, I just wanna get this over with."

"Calm down, take a deep breath, we'll be going out in a few minutes. Don't need ya passing out on me. C'mon deep breath in an' blow it out bro."

"I don't wanna admit it Sammy, but I'm a little scared. You know I never thought either of us would find someone, let alone be marrying them," Dean confessed.

Dean looked one more time at his reflection in the mirror trying to see what Sky saw. He carried more baggage than most people would ever dream about but yet she never tried to make him in into someone he wasn't. She accepted all his flaws and what he did whole heartily and never once complained about it. She would willingly go into any hunt no matter how dangerous and risk her life for others. She grounded him and made him whole. Sky and Cole fit so perfectly into their mismatched family and he didn't think he could have found a more loving, caring, determined, sensitive woman to share the rest of his life with.

"Well you don't need to be, you're marrying the love of your life, so relax. Both of you were made for each other, you're a perfect fit and I think you know that," Sam told him trying to calm his brother down. He saw the far off look in his brother's eyes and knew he was thinking about Sky.

"Dean, Sam, they're ready," Castiel said sticking his head in the door.

"Alright then, come on let's do this," Dean nodded squaring his shoulders and striding from the room.

"Is he alright?" Castiel whispered to Sam.

"Wedding jitters," Sam chuckled. "C'mon 'fore he starts without us."

"Alright," Castiel said following along with Sam as they tried to catch up to Dean who was almost sprinting. Castiel could feel how tense and excited and anxious Dean was and wasn't sure he understood all these emotions that humans had during this supposedly happy time.

Castiel, Dean and Sam stepped out making their way to the front and took their places looking out at their family and friends seated waiting for the wedding to begin. Everyone turned as Sasha came out and walked slowly down the paper lined aisle toward the front. Sam's eyes widen with surprise taking in her dress and a huge smile lit up his face. She was gorgeous and she was all his. He couldn't take his eyes off of her as she made her way toward them and stood across from him smiling shyly as she turned to watch for Sky. The music changed to the Wedding March and on cue, Jethro and Sky walked out slowly strolling down between the seats toward the front. Sky could hear the mummers and awe's over her dress as she kept her attention focused on the man standing at the end of the aisle staring at her. A smiled twitched on her lips as she fought back the tears in her eyes. She felt Jethro tighten his hold on her arm giving her strength.

Dean took in the dress and his bride and knew he was the luckiest man alive. She was a vision of beauty that almost took his breath away. He watched the dress move around Sky's body like it had a mind of its own. It was like he was under a magic spell and couldn't take his eyes off her. They made eye contact and never broke it until she paused at the front to be given away by her uncle. Jethro kissed her on the cheek and whispered softly in her ear before letting her go to stand on the other side of Castiel. She handed off her bouquet of roses and baby's breath to Sasha and waited for Dean to step forward.

"Dude, she's stunning," Sam whispered to his brother.

"I know," Dean mumbled back before stepping closer to Sky.

Sky looked lovingly into his eyes as he took her hands in his and turned to face Castiel. Dean could feel the slight tremble in her body while they waited for Castiel to begin the ceremony.

"Dear friends, we are gathered together on this day to celebrate one of life's greatest moments, the joining of two hearts and souls of Sky Winston and Dean Winchester into one. They have confessed their love for each other and wish to share it with family and friends with this ceremony. Sky and Dean have written their own vows for today. Sky if you will start," Castiel said nodding to her to begin.

Dean and Sky turned to each other, clasping hands and looking at each other.

"Dean, my heart skipped a beat the first time I saw you and knew I wanted to have you in my life. I promise to be your best friend and companion on the road of life," she started "I will be your shelter in your time of sorrow and pain. I will be your shining star when you have lost your way. I will be your anchor when you are adrift on the sea of life. I will love you in sickness and in health. I will be yours and yours only through the good and the bad. I will be by your side in the light and in the dark. You are my one true love. You make me whole and without you I am nothing. You have given me a family that I thought I would never have. I want to share the rest of my life with you. You have captured my heart and I give it freely to you. I love you Dean Winchester, more than life itself and where ever life takes us, I want to share it with you," she finished as a single tear slipped from her eye and down her cheek.

"Dean, your turn," Castiel said to him.

"Sky, thought we didn't meet under the best of circumstances, I knew there was something special about you and I wanted to learn what that was," he started reaching up to wipe her tear away. "You brought out the best in me. You didn't try to change me, but accepted me as I am, even with my faults. I promise to love you in good times and bad. I want to grow old with you by my side. I want to experience life with you, to make you smile, and to see the joy and happiness in your eyes. You are my shining star that out shines all others. I truly believe you are my soul mate and together we make each other complete. You have given me companionship, a partner, a lover and a best friend. I will face whatever life has to throw at us with you by my side as my equal. I freely give you my heart, my soul, my love for the rest of my life. May our life together be one of happiness, joy and love," he finished squeezing her hands gently.

"These rings are a symbol of their love and their union for all to see," Castiel said taking the rings from Sam and holding them for Dean and Sky to take and slip on the others finger. "As one of God's servants I pronounce you husband and wife. May I present Mr. and Mrs. Dean Winchester. You may kiss your bride."

Dean pulled Sky to him and ran a finger down her cheek before capturing her lips with his in a passionate kiss. The sunlight took this time to shine its brightest on the couple bathing them in the soft, mellow, glow. The guests began to clap and cheer as they parted to look out at everyone smiling happily. Sam and Sasha congratulated them first with hugs and kisses. The audience clapped and the kids cheered the newlywed couple.
