Prentiss was holding Reid's hand as they entered the small chapel. She looked around, and liked the place. It was very tastefully decorated, and was surprisingly feminine. There were pictures of happy couples on the walls. A tall blonde woman about Prentiss' age came out from an office to greet them. She had a huge smile on her face.

"Well if it's not Spencer Reid!" the woman exclaimed, hugging Reid tightly. "What brings you in here?"

Prentiss couldn't believe that Reid knew the woman who was standing there. She wondered if they had had some kind of relationship before. Reid didn't often talk about his past with women. Of course she didn't really ask either. She had assumed that when he spoke about an old friend of his that he was speaking about a guy.

"Why else does a man come to a chapel with a beautiful woman on his arm Charlotte?" Reid asked.

"Oh my gosh! You're getting married! I'm so sorry Spencer, I just never pictures you as well- straight!"

Prentiss let out a small laugh. A couple of the women at the FBI had told her the same thing when they found out that she had been dating Reid. Part of her wanted to tell the woman she had just met just how good Reid was in bed, but she didn't want to embarrass him around his old friend.

"Why do the few women I went to high school with and got along with all assume I'm gay?" Reid wondered.

"Because you were such a sweet guy, and never tried anything with us."

"I was twelve and you were seventeen. You would have kicked my scrawny butt."

"You're right," she laughed. "You should have come to the last reunion, and shown off all your accomplishments. Having three doctorates is something to be proud of."

"It's not something all that surprising when I graduated high school at twelve. I know you think my job is really amazing, but it's just a job. I had no reason to go. You're the only person from school who I still speak to. I don't want to show off in front of a bunch of strangers."

"The mould was broken when you were made Spencer, your fiancée is very lucky."

Reid blushed slightly. "Charlotte this is Emily Prentiss by the way. Emily this is my friend Charlotte McDonald."

"It's nice to meet you, Charlotte," Prentiss said, shaking Charlotte's hand.

"It's nice to meet you as well, Emily. I'll be sure you give the family treatment today but for now Spencer I need to borrow your beautiful bride to be. There's a shop down the road where you get a tuxedo or suit, tell them I sent you and you'll get a discount."

"Um all right," Reid replied a little surprised. "I did bring something to wear."

"I've seen pictures of what you usually wear, go buy something new, it's your wedding day. You only get one."

"Thank you, for saying that," Prentiss laughed. "It'll be nice to see him in a nice new suit."

"Scoot Spencer," Charlotte told him. "I'll take care of everything for you and Emily. You are going to be surprised if it kills me. I know you and your magic tricks, I don't want to see for an hour and half. When you come back my assistant will have the room all ready for you, and I'll take care of Emily myself."

"Are you going to be all right with Charlotte, Emily?"

"I'll be fine," Prentiss assured him, kissing him softly. "I love you."

"I love you too, I'll see you in an hour and half then?"

"Yeah, you will, and then we'll get married."

"Wow, this is real, we're actually getting married today, you're going to be my wife by the time we go to bed tonight."

"Yes, I will."

Reid kissed her again before he left the chapel. He needed to get something to wear and he also needed to find a wedding band, and only had an hour and half to do it. Prentiss watched him leave then looked at Charlotte.

"What's the plan here?" Prentiss asked Charlotte.

"We need to get you your dress silly," Charlotte laughed. "Don't you want to knock Spencer's mismatched socks off? He does still wear mismatched socks doesn't he?"

"Yes, he does, I don't know how I'm going to take him to formal events just yet. I guess, but I really just thought I'd wear a nice dress that I already have."

"Even if you're getting married in Las Vegas you deserve to have a great dress. It's your wedding day, and I want you feel like it is your day. This is going to be the only wedding you'll get, I know it. I'm friends with the owner of a bridal salon she'll find you the perfect dress. I have a hair stylist and make up artist on staff too. If it wasn't for Spencer I never would have passed high school, I owe him one, so I am going to make you both forget you are in Las Vegas."

"All right, thank you. This is going to be a lot better than I expected it to be, even if our friends aren't here."

"We can tape it for everyone who isn't here. I have seen a lot of people get married here, and none of them deserve happiness as much as Spencer does. I've known him a long time, and he's been through a lot. I also know that what would make him happy would be to make you happy today, so I'll do whatever it takes. Do you need me to help you find a ring for him?"

"No, I've got that covered," Prentiss assured her. "I have my father's wedding band that I'd like him to wear. I want it to be a surprise."

"That is so sweet. I think this is going to be one of the most memorable ceremonies I've had here. I Like it when I know that the marriage is going to last. I still can't believe that Spence is straight though."

"I assure you that he is. He's actually more of a ladies' man then he likes to let on."

"Sweet little Spencer Reid? I find that hard to believe," laughed Charlotte.

"I have trouble believing it sometimes, and I'm about to marry the guy. But then I remember the reason we are doing this so soon."

"Do mind if I ask the reason?"

"Not at all, Spencer's daughter's mother doesn't want me around, so we decided she couldn't really argue that I was not going to be in her life, if we got married."

"Spencer is a father, and not with the lady he's about marry!? Wow, I didn't know he had it in him!"

Prentiss laughed. "Me either. She's a sweet kid, smart too. I hope when we have children they are like Sky."

"You're planning on having kids too! I'm so happy for Spencer. I don't know anyone who deserves to be happy more then he does. It's nice to see that the nice guy does sometimes get to finish first. Now, enough about Spencer, I can talk to him and catch up another day. What kind of dress are you looking for?"

"I don't know, something fairly simple, I guess. Once my mother finds out she's going to want to throw us some big gala wedding party where I'll have to wear some massive designer gown that I'll hate."

"All right, something simple that will shock Spencer. Good thing I'm a wedding miracle worker!" Charlotte giggled.

The two women went into a small bridal shop right by the chapel. They started to look at the dresses. Prentiss tried on a few before she picked the right one. It really started to feel real now that she had a dress on.
