It was time and Ianto walked confidently with Ton to the mark where the cameras were, then stepped away with Jack to walk around the seats to their own places as Ton walked up the aisle with Hawk, waving happily to people as he went.

Ianto had mixed views about this part. Introducing Hawk but he knew Walter was right. The reasoning sound. There is no way Ton would wander through a shot without his little wingman, best to explain the little boy that would appear in the background sometimes as Ton's ward. Something that had made Ton so overjoyed, he and Angel telling everyone they would be like almost parents already.

His tiny little suit matched Ton's, down to the tie and buttonhole, his face gleaming with pride as he stood holding a little pillow that had the rings. Yes, Ton had decided on this. He had originally wanted Muncher to have the rings but remembered a story his Tad told about a dog sitting on some rings or something and Muncher might eat them anyway.

Fen stood in his military uniform, his hand on Hawk's shoulder to keep him in one place as he thrummed with glee at everyone looking at him. Handsome little beast. He had really come out of his shell since the camera crew started to fall in love and he could now perform on command, anything from a little dance to a nonsense song that always ended with 'and he fell on his bum!' to everyone's glee … bar his father.

Babs stood with Bethy, hands clasped together as they walked slowly up the aisle and Ton sighed happily, turning to look at Walter who stood with the open bible in his hand, the Piney outfit perfection and the little gold star in his earlobe a rarity but Ton had wanted it so … OK. The hole had not closed completely over.

"OK Ton" Walt said softly, still nervous as Ton had finally made his decisions on this part including Walter officiating and the ink on the newly minted Justice of the Peace certificate was barely dry, the rubber stamp about to get its first use.

The music started, Imp playing the piano like a master and when he started to sing the place grew silent with shock, as 'a thousand years' started to resonate.

"Our song" Jack whispered softly "Shit. He chose our song."

"Well … he watched our DVD to death. I don't know … I think … I think of all our kids, he is the one who should continue our song" Ianto whispered, back, taking a loving kiss before settling against him, Curtis on the other side leaning in to Ianto as he watched his husband up there looking so fine.

Then Angel appeared and Ton's face lit up.

Everyone knew before they turned that she s there as he struggled not to run to her, his hands flapping as he encouraged her to hurry, he needed to hold her.

His queen.
