Okay I'm going to be ending this within the next chapter or two… or three.

Four months later…

Meredith looked in the full body mirror. Her eyes traveled down the reflection of her body. A smile appeared on her face as she picked up the skirt some and let it fall. The door open, but she didn't turn. Izzie and Christina walked in wearing matching dresses.

"Oh my god, Mer. You look beautiful." Izzie said. "And you can't tell, I promise."

Meredith nodded dabbing a tear from her eye. "Thank you Izz."

"You do look great, Mer." Christina said.

"You guys too." She said with a big smile.

"Are we ready?" Izzie asked. Meredith took a deep breath and nodded. Christina handed her the bundle of flowers. They were lavender roses intermixed with white roses. Vines of flowers draped over the edge. It matched very well with her simple strapless, white dress. The top of it was laced. The skirt wasn't too puffed out. "You are the prettiest bride ever, Meredith."

"It's time." Christina said.

"I'm ready." She smiled at her friends. They nodded and walked into the hall.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He stood in front of everyone fidgeting with his hands.

"Need anything?" George asked.

"No, I'm fine."

"I can't believe you two are really getting married."

He looked at him. "Me neither."

"Okay, we're starting." The assistant wedding planner said.

Alex took a deep breath as George took his place beside him. The music started to play and everyone turned to the door. After a few seconds, the doors opened and Izzie walked through. She slowly made her way to the altar. Christina followed behind her and they both took their places. Everyone stood. Moments later, Meredith appeared. Her arm was linked with Richard's.

His heart stopped for a second when their eyes met. She was glowing with a smile on her face. He smiled back at her. Her eyes were full of tears that she refused to let fall. They got to the altar and Richard kissed her cheek before sitting down. Alex took Meredith's hand gently as she steeped onto the raised alter.

"We are gathered here today…" He began to speak.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I, Alex Kerev, take thee, Meredith Grey, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish, 'til death do us part." Alex repeated.

"Now, Meredith… I, Meredith Grey, take thee, Alex Kerev, to be my wedded husband…" The Celebrant said.

"I, Meredith Grey, take thee, Alex Kerev, to be my wedded husband." Meredith repeated.

"To have and to hold from this day forward…"

"To have and to hold from this day forward."

"For better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health…"

"For better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health."

"To love, honor, and cherish, 'til death do you part."

"To love, honor, and cherish, 'til death do us part." She repeated with a smile.

"May I have the ring?" He asked George. George handed it to him. "May this ring be blessed so he who gives it, and she who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life's end."

"With this ring I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment." Alex said sliding the white gold and diamond ring onto her finger.

"May I have the groom's ring?" Christina handed him the gold band. "May this ring be blessed so she who gives it and he who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life's end."

"With this ring I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment." Meredith said sliding the gold band onto his finger.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Alex leaned in and their lips crashed together. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the loving couple, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Kerev."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They all sat down. Meredith, Alex, George, Christina, and Izzie sat at one table. The other guest filled in at the other round tabled. Their hands were laced together as George stumbled to stand up.

"Ah, I'm George O'Malley. I started my internship with Meredith and Alex. It seems like so long ago that we were all in the locker room and I was stumbling over my words trying to talk to Meredith." Everyone chuckled. "But, seriously, a lot has changed since then." He looked at all his friends sitting at one table. "I don't think any of us could have guessed that Meredith and Alex would end up together. I never thought that we would all be sitting her in suites and dresses celebrating their wedding. I never thought that they would be having a baby. But, looking back, this is the happiest I've ever seen them. I'm really glad they did end up together. So… here's to you." Everyone raised their glasses. Meredith stood up and hugged George.

"Thank you, George." She whispered before sitting down. George glanced at Christina. She sighed and stood up.

"Well, I'm the maid of honor, so I have to make a speech. Lucky me." Everyone chuckled again. "Okay, so… Meredith has always been there for me. She's my person. And, Alex… well he's still Evil Spawn." Everyone laughed again. "I'm glad that they found they loved each other even though they both have their twisted lives. Anyway, congratulations." Everyone raised their glasses as Christina sat.

"How heartfelt, Yang?" Alex said rolling his eyes.

"Oh, my turn." Izzie said standing up. "I'm Izzie Stevens. We all started at Seattle Grace at the same time. We stuck together to make it through that year and we all had a hard time. But looking back, like George said, I never would have thought these two would be here right now. Maybe it was because at that point I was interested in Alex." Everyone chuckled. "And George had a thing for Meredith."

"Okay, we don't need to lay all the cards on the table." George said from his seat.

"Yeah well… I'm happy that they get to be happy. Because without them, we would have never made it long enough to see our residency."

Meredith smiled at her and gave her a hug before sitting down. She looked over at Alex and smiled. They were finally married.
