The Best Of Me-Ch 26
Derek felt his heart racing as the music started, he smiled as he watched JJ and Emily slowly make their way up the aisle and after what seemed like an eternity the wedding march started and then it happened, he saw the woman that stole his heart stood there. Penelope smiled when she saw her hotstuff standing there, he was so handsome in his tux.
Dave said, "are you ready"?, she nodded her head and said, "I am", they then started making their way toward the front of the church, the room was filled with family and friends that couldn't wait to watch Derek and Penelope finally get to start their lives together. When they reached the front Dave put Penelopes hand in Dereks and kissed her cheek and said, "you look radiant kitten".
She grinned and said, "thank you papa bear", he winked at her and then stepped back to sit beside his wife, Derek gently squeezed her hand and said, "I love you baby girl". She sighed happily and said, "I love you to hotstuff", the minister smiled and said, "dearly beloved we are gathered her today in front of God and these witnesses to join together in the bonds of holy matrimony Derek Michael Morgan and Penelope Michelle Garcia".
As the ceremony continued the minister spoke of undying love and how he wished only the best for the new couple, he then looked at them and said, "I understand that you two have written your own vows"?, they nodded their heads and said, "yes sir" in unison. He then said, "Derek take this ring and slid it onto Penelopes finger and then recite your vows".
He took the ring and put it on her finger and said, "Penelope, baby girl, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, you are my best friend, my lover, my guiding light and the other part of my heart". She felt tears streaming down her face as he said, "and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life loving you and being loved by you".
The minister looked at Penelope and said, "Penelope, take this ring and put it onto Dereks finger and then recite your vows", she nervously took the ring into her hand and slid it onto his finger. She then took a deep breath and said, "Derek, hotstuff, I have been in love with you since the first day I met you and I always will".
He gently squeezed her hand as she said, "you are the best part of me, you are my best friend, my sugar shack, my chocolate drop, my best friend and today you become my other half my husband". A tear slid down her cheek and she said, "I'm going to show you everyday just how much you mean to me and how much I love you".
The minister then said, "if their is anyone here that can show just cause why these two can't be lawfully joined let them speak now or forever hold their peace" and after a few seconds he said, "by the powers vested in me by this state I now pronounce you husband and wife". The happy couple leaned in for a kiss after the minister said, "Derek you may now kiss your bride".
When their lips touched both of their bodies started tingling, Derek wrapped his arms around his bride and pulled her close, when they pulled apart the minister said, "it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Derek Morgan". As Derek claimed his wifes lips in another kiss the room erupted with cheers and the sound of hands clapping.
As they pulled apart and started making their way toward the back of the church for the reception the sounds of hands clapping and the squeals of well wishes still filled the air.
