WEDDING TIME!!!! Hope you enjoy!! Thanks to Riddicks-gurl1988 for reviewing! Hope it meets your expectations!
As the girls walked down the aisle one after another, they stood in line, separating from the men they were with. The last to go before Andie was the pretty little Sadie, dropping little red petals from her basket. Everyone smiled as she walked by, even Gibbs. Gibbs stood in his place, his hands folded in front of him, nervously waiting for his bride. Andie took a deep breath as they started the slow walk, pure white rose petals falling from the ceiling as Rene walked with her down the aisle. She took one look at Gibbs and couldn't look away, all nervousness gone with the knowledge that he was there, waiting for her.
Rene squeezed her arm as they walked slowly. Sadie dropped petals every other step, and everyone stood for the bride. Gibbs smiled, his own nervousness dissipating. "She's beautiful..." Ziva whispered quietly. Gibbs nodded, awaiting his bride patiently. Andie smiled and it seemed like the whole room lit up because of it. Soon they were at the alter and Andie hugged Rene tightly. "Thank you." she whispered softly as she handed her bouquet to Ronnie. Rene kissed her cheek, the way the father usually did with the bride, and went to sit with her husband. Ronnie took her bouquet and slid it next to hers in her hands. Gibbs took Andie's hands and smiled wide.
Andie smiled up at him squeezing his hand tightly. Soon they were asked to say their vows. "Lee from the moment I met you, I knew that you would play a very big role in my life. You've brought the light I thought I had lost back into my heart and for that I can never thank you enough. I love you so much and am proud to bear your name and be called your wife." She said, love ringing in every word as happy tears rolled down her face.
When it was Gibbs turn to speak his vows, he squeezed Andie's hands gently. "Andie, I never once thought I could love again, not the way I love you now. You've made more of a difference in my life than anything I've ever known. I am proud to call you my wife, and intend to make you as happy as I possibly can from this day on. Andie, this day marks the rest of my life, and I am more than happy to spend it with you." He said, trying not to cry himself. Ronnie and Rene were both in silent tears, trying not to make a sound.
Andie smiled as they exchanged rings and the officiator told them that they were now husband and wife. She didn't even wait for him to finish before she kissed her new husband soundly. Ronnie snickered softly and smiled. Gibbs grinned and kissed her back, pulling her tightly against him. When the kiss had ended and they turned to face the crowd for the photographer, Gibbs caught Andie's eyes with his own, then turned to wink at Eric, who was sitting in the very front row, right next to Rene, holding Sadie on his lap, and bawling like a baby.
Andie followed his gazed and started to cry again, turning to Gibbs. "I thought..." Gibbs smiled and kissed the top of her head. "I had a talk with him." Was all he said as they walked down the aisle and out the door. As soon as they were out of view, Gibbs pulled her hard against him and kissed her passionately. She gasped softly and clung to him kissing him back with equal passion. "You are the most amazing man I've ever met and had the good fortune to marry." she said softly smiling up at him.
Gibbs smiled and kissed her again. Suddenly a camera flashed and Ronnie ran off giggling madly. Gibbs laughed and picked Andie up, carrying her to the reception hall. Andie laughed and kissed his cheek as what seemed like a million flashes went off as he carried her into the room. "Talk about blinded by the light!" she said and everyone laughed. Andie's father waited for them in the reception hall. Gibbs carried her over and set her down right in front of him, smiling. "Here she is." Gibbs said, holding his new wife around her waist.
Andie smiled as the tears started falling once again, hugging her father. Eric nearly lifted her off the ground as he hugged her back. "Congratulations baby...you look beautiful..." he said softly, tears falling from his own eyes as well. "Don't give him too much trouble!" he laughed softly, letting her go. Gibbs laughed. "Oh, she's already working on giving me a heart attack." Gibbs said happily. "I'm gonna try not to Daddy but it won't be easy! I'm my father's child after all." she chuckled softly. "Not to mention I've got Ronnie."
The woman in question could be seen running through the hall in her dress with her mother's wallet held high, her mother yelling threats at her as she hightailed it after her daughter. Andie shared a look with her dad and they cracked up, laughing so hard they both turned the same shade of red. Gibbs shook his head as their first song started to play, and he led her to the dance floor. "Come along love, time to dance." Gibbs said softly. She nodded and quickly kissed her dad on the cheek before she was led onto the dance floor.
"Thank you..." she said, looking up at him, her blue eyes sparkling with happy tears. Gibbs held her tightly around her waist, afraid to let go in case she disappeared, as their song started to play.
"One Word, that's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head.
Your smile, just captured me
And you were in my future as far as I could see
They started to dance around the dance floor together, just looking into each others eyes and smiling.
And I don't know how it happened
But it happened still
You asked me if I love you
If I always will
Well you had me from hello, I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you won me
It was over from the start, you completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
When others started joining them, Ronnie and Brodie were the first to make it to the dance floor, followed by Rene and Richard, then Sadie and Andie's father.
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from "hello"
Inside I built the walls
So high around my heart I thought I'd never fall
One touch you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me
I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time
I'd let someone in
Gibbs smiled and kissed her soundly as they danced. "I love you, Andie." He said. "I love you too Lee...today is absolutely perfect..." she said, resting her head on his shoulder as they slowly spun around the dance floor.
But you had me from hello, I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you won me
It was over from the start, you completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from "hello"
That's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head.
You had me from "hello"
You had me from "hello"
Girl I've loved you from "Hello"
All too soon the song ended and the opening sounds of 'Let Them Be Little' started in the background and her father came over. "May I?" he asked Gibbs, smiling. Gibbs made a small bow and went to dance with Sadie, who was squealing with glee. Ronnie abandoned Brodie and stole Timmy from her own grandmother, and Brodie traded off for Andie's grandmother.
Everyone was having a wonderful time. Andie smiled as her dad led her around the dance floor. "I love you daddy..." she said softly. "I love you too baby girl. You take care of yourself and email me ok? I wanna make sure my baby is taken care of..." he smiled down at her. "I will, I promise." she said hugging him. The song ended and Ronnie grabbed the microphone from her brother who was announcing. "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the throwing of the bouquet and garter!" A round of cheers followed as everyone gathered around.
Gibbs chuckled softly as he helped Andie onto a chair, holding her waist so she wouldn't fall. Ronnie gave her the smaller bouquet they'd had made and took her big one, setting it on the Bride and Groom's table. Andie tossed the bouquet into the air and, with Gibbs help, turned to see Ziva holding it with confused eyes. Everyone laughed as Gibbs helped Andie sit in the chair, lifting her skirt just enough so he could reach her Garter belt, kissing the exposed part of her thigh before pulling the garter off with his teeth, making her blush.
He grinned at her before tossing it at Tony, who caught it on reflex, eyes wide. "Um…boss?" he stammered, holding the small, white lacey fabric between two fingers. "Well don't just stand there DiNozzo...go dance with her!" Gibbs chuckled as Andie laughed and pushed Ziva in Tony's direction. "Don't be shy you two!" Andie chided, grinning at her husband.
A little while later, Ronnie was surrounded by some of the people that knew about her book and wanted her to autograph their copies. When Andie came looking for her, she gave her a pleading look. "SAVE ME." She whispered desperately. Andie caught Ronnie's brother Sam's attention and he announced that it was time for Andie and Gibbs to cut their wedding cake. She went over to him as everyone flocked toward the cake to watch them. Everyone around Ronnie cleared a path, but followed her to the table and crowded around the cake goers. Ronnie rolled her eyes.
"Maybe writing that book wasn't such a good idea." Ronnie muttered to Andie, handing her the cake server. She laughed as she took it from her, smiling as Gibbs placed his hand on hers and they proceeded to cut the cake. Ronnie held out the plate for the cake and grinned. "Shove UP, Andie." She whispered. She laughed and grabbed the plate putting her piece on it then looked up at Gibbs smirking before attacking him with it. "Ha ha!" she cried as more flashes went off.
Gibbs laughed and wiped his face with a napkin. "Love, you're too much." He said, picking up his own piece. He held the piece to her mouth gently touching her lips with the tiny piece of cake. "That's what they tell me!" she giggled and took a small bite, watching him cautiously, waiting for him to get her back. He nodded, holding the piece of cake so she could eat the rest and smiled sweetly. She knew that he was up to something as she ate the rest of the piece, her eyes closing as the taste of chocolate hit her tongue.
Ronnie, seeing what was about to happen, grabbed a napkin as her own eyes widened, and she slipped the napkin under Andie's chin, just as Gibbs raised the rest of the cake left on the plate and wiped it into her face, laughing. What didn't land on her face, landed on the napkin in Ronnie's hand and, thankfully, NOT on Andie's dress. Andie squealed and laughed as she grabbed another napkin to wipe off her face, laughing harder as she heard Abby cussing Gibbs out for ruining her makeup.
"That was great!" she giggled, careful not to get any cake on her dress. Ronnie, giggling, had to agree. "It was pretty impressive, though he's lucky I had the napkin handy." She said, laughing so hard it hurt. "I know, you'd have killed us both." she snickered, going over to Gibbs and kissing him softly. "Nicely done Agent Gibbs." she muttered softly. He grinned, kissing her back and looked over at Ronnie. "I learned from the best." He said, winking at Ronnie. Rolling her eyes Ronnie walked off laughing. Andie laughed, pulling him over to their table so they could sit down. "I'm getting dizzy from all this excitement."
"Almost ready to go?" He asked softly, running his hand gently down the side of her face and into her curls. "Yeah." she said softly smiling at him but glancing over at the door as something caught her eye. She had a look of horror on her face as she did a double take. "Oh no he is not crashing this party!" she muttered, a look of pure hatred and disgust on her face as she stood and marched over to the newest party guest.
Ronnie's attention was caught as Andie stomped over to the new guest. Her own eyes blazed, and she motioned to Abby and Ziva, who flanked her as they made there way toward Andie, waiting for their cue. She walked up to him as he smirked at her looking her over. Thankfully no one had noticed the goings on as she slapped him and shoved him towards the door. "What the hell are you doing at my wedding Steven?!" she said, her voice dangerously low.
"Just looking to see if I still stand a chance...maybe you'll ditch this guy and go home with a real man!" he said cockily. Ronnie, Ziva and Abby all three surrounded them. "A REAL man wouldn't crash a woman's party unless he knew he was wanted." Ronnie snarled softly. Ziva put her hands on her hips, a deadly glare in her eyes. "Last I checked you weren't a MAN anyway Steven." Andie said glaring at him. "Besides, been there done that, wondered if it was even in to begin with!" she said, kneeing him in the nuts, putting on a smile and going back to the table, giving Ronnie the signal.
Ronnie nodded to Ziva, then Abby, who each moved swiftly, grabbing his arms. He struggled feebly, and Ronnie walked up and punched him straight in the face, grabbing everyone's attention in the room. "It's alright everyone." Rene said, diverting their attention as Ziva and Abby dragged his limp body out of the room. "Just a little sideshow." Ronnie grinned at her mom and followed the girls. A few minutes later a blood curdling scream could be heard throughout the building. Everyone began to laugh.
Andie allowed herself an evil smile before returning to her newly-wedded blissful smile. "Ready to go love?" she asked serenely. Gibbs gave her a look of awe and stood, taking her hand. "Of course." He said, waving to Ronnie's brother, who stopped the music and announced their departure. Everyone made their way outside before them, to get ready for them to leave the building, and from outside, they could hear everyone murmuring and laughing hysterically.
She looked and about died laughing as they came upon her ex-boyfriend's latest predicament. "Well, serves him right for trying to crash my wedding!" she snickered. Ziva and Abby were standing beside a large tree, holding onto a rope, from which Steven was hanging, stark naked, upside down, unconscious. Ronnie grinned and waved as people took pictures, laughing the entire time. Steven's eyes began to open and he started to say something. Ronnie reached over and easily knocked him out, giving him matching black eyes.
He twitched a little as Gibbs led Andie to their limo. Andie was still snickering as he helped her get in. "Well this is a wedding no one will ever forget!" she said softly, resting her head on his shoulder. He nodded and held her close as the doors closed and the driver made his way through the people, careful to watch out for the excited little children running around. Andie's dad, holding Sadie, Rene, Richard, Ronnie and the rest of her family and Andie's Grandma waved goodbye to them as they left.
