AN: This is a pretty good prompt but I couldn't think of how to do this one, so this appeared.
It was funny how things turned out. How things would change in almost an instant. How darkness became light; how happiness replaced sorrow and how love emerged from a time of hatred and fear. It was a sign of a new beginning, new hope and a brighter tomorrow.
All metaphors and romanticism aside; if either Aaron or Emily had been told when they met that one day they would marry each other; both would have probably either laughed in your face or asked if and how much you had been drinking.
What were they doing today?
Getting married.
It had admittedly been a slow building romance, their friendship evolved from being teammates to friends to best friends to eventually lovers. In between all of that however there was one divorce, two changes to the team, a bombing, two of them being held hostage by a cult leader, who beat Emily almost to a pulp, demons from both their pasts coming back to haunt them including an insane serial killer targeting Aaron and his family, said killer murdering someone they cared about and a large amount of other stuff that really set romance onto the back burner.
However it was by helping and supporting one another through each and every difficult time and hardship that brought Aaron and Emily closet together; that helped them to realise that they were more than friends and that life was too short, too fragile for them not to at least give their feelings a chance. That chance came in the form of a date which led to a kiss which led to a second date which led to a relationship which led to a proposal which led to today with them getting married.
It wasn't a conventional love story but it was theirs and as they stood at the altar, exchanging vows and rings in front of their family and friends; neither of them would have had it any other way.
