A/N: There is a link to the dress in my profile.
JJ smoothed out the front of her dress as she stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room of the church. The ivory dress fell to just above the floor; it would have touched if she hadn't been wearing three inch heels. It had wide straps and a train. Her hair was in a tight chignon with soft look curls around her face.
She took a deep breath as there was a tap on the door.
"JJ, I know you wanted a few minutes to yourself." Garcia stuck her head around the door. "But you've got a visitor." She pushed the door open.
"Gideon." JJ smiled. "What are you doing here? Not that we weren't going to invite you but we didn't know where to send the invitation and ..."
"You're babbling hun." Garcia told her.
"You look beautiful JJ." Gideon told her.
"Thank you."JJ blushed.
"To answer your question Garcia tracked me down a few days ago."
"How?" JJ turned to her friend.
"It's probably best if you don't ask me, so I don't have to tell you so you don't have to arrest me."
"I tried to track you down after Spence was shot. I thought you'd want to know."
"I saw it on the news; I called the hospital to check on him. They kept me up to date and kept me informed that his wife hadn't left his side. Garcia filled me in on the rest of the details."
"Where have you been?" JJ asked.
"Trying to find answers and myself."
"Have you succeeded?" JJ inquired.
"It's a work in progress. I wanted to come by and wish both the best." Gideon said. "I'd better go and let you carry on."
"You're staying if I have to handcuff you to someone. Half the guests are FBI so someone is bound to have some." JJ told him.
"When you put it like that." Gideon smiled.
"Diana Reid had to be sedated when they suggested she get on a plane to come out, trust me Spence needs you."
"JJ are you almost ready?" Emily entered the room and stopped surprised at who was there. "Gideon?"
"Hello Emily." Gideon greeted her.
"I didn't know you were coming, I didn't know anyone knew where you were. Not that it's not great to see you of course."
"Of course." Gideon smiled. "I'd better go and get a seat. Good luck."
"Where's he been?" Emily asked when he had left.
"Finding answers and himself apparently." JJ replied. "You'll have to ask Garcia."
"All I know he was in Kentucky when I tracked him down and that was only a bit of luck." Garcia shrugged.
"Thank you." JJ smiled. "How's Spence doing?"
"Nervous. He's telling Morgan about the history of the marriage ceremony."
"Is my Dad outside?" JJ asked.
"He's waiting."
They were all lined up ready to walk down the aisle.
"Ready?" Garcia just to make sure someone signalled the organist.
"I can't do this."
"Jaygee It's a really back time to change your mind."
"No there's something I need to do first."
"What's that sweetheart?" Her father asked.
"Daddy there's something I need to tell you."
"You're already married. I know?" JJ looked at her father questioningly. "Your mother told me, she didn't want me to have a heart attack."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't know how?"
"Jennifer I love you, you're my little girl and all I want for you is for you to be happy."
"I am Daddy."
JJ's father kissed her forehead.
"Then let's not keep the boy waiting."
"Dad." JJ rolled her eyes.
"We had a nice little chat yesterday. But now is not the time. Do you want to walk down that aisle?" He asked.
"Yes."
"Then Penelope if you would please?"
"Yes sir."
The music began to play and the wedding began.
