I offer mine and Deeks invites to the soldier on the door and we get ushered in. Deeks is right next to me in his suit and tie with his hair slicked back. Callen is next behind us with Nell and Eric beside him and then finally Sam with Michelle at the back of the group. Melissa is already inside I'm guessing as she is pulling bridesmaid duty. Pendleton looks so different tonight! There's definitely the vibe of a celebration and you can tell that the Commander is respected and loved by those in his command. The soldiers are mostly in their uniform and there are few people not in uniform. The team and I are in the minority, mind you, we were surprised to get invites. The wedding reception is being held in the canteen and all the tables have been moved to the outskirts of the room creating a makeshift dancefloor in the centre. There's a table slightly raised for the bride and groom and family near the front. There are fairy lights draped along the pillars in the room and along the food bar where the buffet is being offered with the lights dimmed in the rest of the canteen. Melissa has done an excellent job in getting the canteen fixed up for a wedding reception. The tables are all numbered with chalkboard notices, a camera and a vase with a single flower in the centre and have differing numbers of people occupying them. I quickly observe that seems to be no system for seating arrangements so Deeks and I simply head for a quieter table. Deeks being a gentleman pulls out a chair for me and allows me to sit before pulling up the chair next to me. I flash him a smile in acknowledgement. Callen is right behind us and the only one without a plus one tonight. Sam brought Michelle and we all knew Nell would ask Eric despite him receiving an invite himself. I look around the room and try to spot Melissa and Deeks starts to play with some card that was in front of his seat next to the one use camera. Callen is also looking around for the missing member of our team as Eric, Nell, Sam and Michelle join us at the table.

'We get to take photos with this?' Deeks comments to Eric as Eric picks up the camera in awe.

'So we're the photographer's?' Callen clarifies.

'And I spot an opportunity to get started off the list. Bridesmaid 3'o'clock.' Eric smirks, spotting Melissa who has just entered the canteen closely followed by the best man Marco, and taking a quick photo. We all look. I look over at her in her in her Grecian style mint green dress before grabbing the card to check that a photograph of a bridesmaid is on the list and that they are not pulling a fast one. Her hair is down and in a braid at the same time and looks amazing. Marco is in his uniform and is quick to dart over to another table with its occupants quick to give him a hug when he reaches it. Melissa stays where she was glancing around the room taking it all in. I wonder what she's thinking about… She must wonder like me and Nell if she will ever get the white wedding after meeting the right guy and settling down. I never thought I'd find someone, never mind someone who knows my job, works with me where gun fights and explosions are all too common. Us girls have all had our doubts in the job and with our personal lives or lack of in the past. It's great we all get along. Deeks and the guys will never understand the pressures I used to face as a female agent but Melissa and Nell do. We encourage each other and that's what makes our team work so well. Melissa breaks out of her thoughts as Marco re-joins her and leans in to talk to her. Seconds later and Marco is being pushed towards the table and the waiting microphone by Melissa who evidently even today is in charge. Marco coughs as the spotlight hits him and everyone turns to face him and he smiles. The hustle and bustle around us quietens down.

'It is my great honour to present the new Mr and Mrs John Triton. Welcome to the family Sarah.'

The room erupts into applause as the commander and his bride walk into the room arms linked with smiles on their faces. They look so happy. Sarah looks gorgeous in her lace wedding dress with her down naturally. I hope to look that happy on my wedding day. Walking down the beach aisle to my future husband and his daft dog who has a silly bow tie on his collar. Monty would make a great best man or ring bearer. Callen and Sam would be groomsmen and Melissa and Nell my bridesmaids. Our Mums on the front row of beach chairs to watch us getting married and starting the rest of our lives together. Hetty marrying us as an acting registrar because there's no way she would sit idly by. My friends, Michelle, Kamran and Aiden in the front row and Deeks LAPD buddies and Ray on his side of the aisle. All the people we need. I can picture it now…..

The commander has now grabbed the microphone from Marco and has a suspicious smirk on his face. His wife has sat down at the table and Marco sits down next to her. I know the guy well enough to know he's up to something. It's similar to the one Deeks uses.

'So for our first dance Sarah and I decided we wanted a live song and both agreed that we wanted our bridesmaid and my son's best friend to sing it for us. Melissa please would you do us the honour of singing our first dance song? You mean the world to me and Marco and we just wanted to make sure you had a special part in mine and Sarah's big day.'

I look to Melissa who is stood in shock at the commanders heart felt speech and Marco nudges her shoulder with a smile. Melissa nods and walks up towards the commander and his waiting wife. They all hug as Melissa reaches them. The commander then offers his wife his hand to dance as Melissa steps into the spotlight and smiles. Melissa waits for the happy couple reach the makeshift dance floor and Marco starts the backing music from the table using the sound system remote. The commander and his wife dance close as Melissa starts to sing.

When it gets dark we're falling far tonight

Under the moonlight chasing fireflies

If I'd ask you, "do you think you want to?"

Just say yes without feeling like you got to

It's the way that you looked at me

That night

When the butterflies

They came to life

By your side

So won't you pull me closer, kiss me faster

Take me to your happily ever after

Boy don't make me wait forever

Oh-oh

You know we'd be so much better

If we could fall in love together

Pull me closer, kiss me faster

Take me to your happily ever after

The happy couple kiss and I look over at Deeks who is also engrossed in the scene playing out in front of us. I wonder if he's ever thought about our wedding as much as I have. We've joked about it but I'm serious he's the guy I want to marry one day. He must realise I'm looking at him as he looks over to me too and smirks before standing up. A few of the couples have joined the Commander and Sarah on the dancefloor including Sam and Michelle.

'What are you doing Deeks, sit down?'

'Kensalina may I have this dance?' He simply asks offering me his hand which I take and allow him to lead me to the dancefloor. He spins me before pulling me in close.

You lift me up take my feet off the ground

With just one look it's like you've got me now

Left me speechless, didn't know I'd feel this

Just say yes, boy you know that we could do this

I'm the one you've been dreaming of

And that's why

The butterflies

They come to life

Every time

So won't you pull me closer, kiss me faster

Take me to your happily ever after

Boy don't make me wait forever

Oh-oh

You know we'd be so much better

If we could fall in love together

Pull me closer, kiss me faster

Take me to your happily ever after

We stay close throughout the song and I try to read what Deeks is thinking but he's giving nothing away. I rest my head on his shoulder as we continue to dance. Eric and Nell are dancing next to us and it's cute to see them with their defences down and enjoying each other's company without worrying about the teams thoughts on it. They make a cute couple and who knows maybe they'll get married someday… The other side of us Sam and Michelle dance and I'm amazed that their love has survived all the years and their jobs. 8 years and 2 children later and still going strong… I want that.

It's in the sound of your voice

You've got me caught up in your eyes

And under all the stars

Can you feel the butterflies?

And even at the summer's end

You left with all your promises

I still remember when you said

We could make it last

So won't you pull me closer, kiss me faster

Take me to your happily ever after

Boy don't make me wait forever

Oh-oh

You know we'd be so much better

If we could fall in love together

Pull me closer, kiss me faster

Take me to your happily ever after

'You Good?' Deeks asks as we dance. He must know what I'm thinking.

'I want all of this.' I answer his question.

'We'll have all this one day and it will be perfect and not at an army base. You'll look beautiful as always and I'll be in a suit and we'll say our vows and mean every word.'

So won't you pull me closer, kiss me faster

Take me to your happily ever after

Boy don't make me wait forever

Oh-oh

You know we'd be so much better

If we could fall in love together

Pull me closer, kiss me faster

Take me to your happily ever after

'You've thought about it.' I state surprised and look him straight in the eyes, those gorgeous blue eyes.

'And you haven't Kensalina?' He smirks. 'I thought girls had their perfect wedding planned out?'

'I have ideas…' I joke back.

'Should I be worried?' He jokes back as the song ends.

'No because as you say I'll be perfect so why worry about it now?'

'I love you.'

'I love you too Deeks.'
