A/N I don't own NATM or any of its characters all I own are my OC's.

It'd been a year since Lapis and Ahk were reunited, a year since Nicky had introduced the girl he liked to Larry, 10 months since Jean-Baptiste had joined the museum family, and 3 months since Jed had admitted to Octavious that he liked him.

Needless to say, it had been an eventful year.

"You ready mom?" Bakari asked, Lapis nodded.

Lapis and Ahk had decided to renew their vows, true it wasn't their anniversary, and no they didn't have vows when they first got married, but it felt right.

Larry would walk Lapis down the makeshift aisle, after Bakari (the ring bearer), Fukayna (the flower girl), and Sac (the bridesmaid).

Lapis wore a short white dress that flared out at the bottom. It had spaghetti straps and only cost 20 bucks at Walmart, so it was thrifty for a wedding dress.

Nicky, Jed, and Octavious were Ahk's best men with Teddy officiating the wedding (much to McPhee's chagrin).

Nicky turned on the wedding march on his phone as Bakari and Fukayna made their way down the aisle. Sac followed suit, holding her son and beaming at Teddy, who had taken up the role of his father.

Larry lead Lapis down the aisle and saw the look on Ahk's face. Once they reached the 'alter' he took a seat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to celebrate the love of Lapis and Ahkmenrah. Their love has stood the test of 3000 years, and will for the next 3000."

Lapis smiled as a tear trickled down her face.

"Now, Lapis would you like to say your vows?"

She nodded before speaking, her voice filled with emotion.

"Ahkmenrah, the day I lost you was the worst day of my life. The day I held you again, the day our children got to meet their father... that was the best day." She paused before continuing, "We've been through life and death and we're still here. If that doesn't mean that Ra made us for each other, I don't know what would. I love you like the moon loves the stars, and I'm so glad to be your wife."

Teddy took a moment to wipe his eyes before continuing,

"Ahkmenrah?"

"Right, Lapis... you came into my life unexpectedly. And I left yours in the same way, but then I entered it again in the same way. Every night when I wake up, I'm reminded of how lucky I am to have you, how lucky I am to have Bakari and Fukayna, and how lucky I am to be able to hold you again. Our marriage was built on a love that has survived thousands of years, a love that has brought us back together, a love that is more powerful than the sins of my brother. I still don't know what I did to deserve you, you are perfect and I love you."

There wasn't a dry eye left in the house, Lapis and Ahk included.

"On behalf of the United States government and everyone else in this room, I wish you 3000 more years of happily wedded bliss. You may kiss your bride."

Lapis wrapped her arms around Ahk and kissed him, the applause of their friends crescendoing in the background.

Nicky turned on Earth Wind and Fire as Ahk descended with his wife. He spun her around and called on everyone to join in.

Jed and Octavious joined in an instant, the Roman giving the cowboy a kiss before spinning him around. As Larry looked out at the people before him, he realized that he was where he was meant to be.

And that the love everyone in the building shared, would last the next 3000 years.
