It was a beautiful day with no clouds with temperatures in the high seventies.
Waiting in the conference room was Special Agent Gibbs and Director Vance talking to him. "Once again Gibbs I would like to congratulate you with the marriage. Hopefully this time will be the last for you?" He smiled knowing that he was joking only...
"I agree with you, Leon. Loreile is going to be the only woman for me until a long time to come." Taking a sip of his bourbon that was brought into the conference room. Changing the subject..."Leon any word on where Jose Juan Hernandez is at right now?"
"He's still working the casino Gibbs. I am still waiting on SECNAV and other officials on whether they will release the funds for the OFF THE BOOKS operation. And besides you and Loreile will be on two weeks honeymoon if it does happen with the funds and permission."
"I told you I want to be on the operation no matter what Leon." Gibbs insisted...
"We will see Special Agent Gibbs. Come on let's go get you marry." Leon said with placing a hand on his shoulder.
There were 100 in attendance for the special ceremony with chairs and tables all set up by the Naval yard maintenance crews.
Loreile was nervous with Bishop in front of her wearing a cream color dress with a small veil with a tiara dropping drop over her head. The music was being played while they walked down with Ducky dressed in black holding Loreiles arm nervous as he talked to her to make her smile further. He was telling her a story on how he and Gibbs first met during a case over 30 years prior.
When they reached the area. He had told her that he will finish the story later. Jimmy Palmer stood up to begin talking to the couple in front of him filled with a great deal of love.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Loreile Ann Baskins held hands listening to his words with his deep blue eyes on her.
"Leroy Jethro and Loreile have asked to say a few words to each other today in front of all of you." He pointed to the audience with his hand.
Gibbs turned slightly to look into her eyes to say the following. "I have never met such a beautiful woman Loreile both inside and out all around. The first day I had met you in the hospital I had a feeling it was destined to be together in holy matrimony though it's been a number of times. I love you, Loreile with all of my heart and I hope it will stay that way with the rest of my life."
Loreile had tears in her eyes when it was her turn. "I really don't know what to say accept for the fact that this man is such a gentleman for when it comes to love again both inside and out. I love you, Jethro with all of my heart and soul."
They turned to face Jimmy with the exchange of rings as Gibbs placed the ring on her finger to have her smiling. While a moment later she does the same with Jimmy saying the following..."I must admit everyone that I am very honored to married these two in holy matrimony. May their love be blessed with a love child down the road." Loreile blushed knowing that the both of them have been trying to have a baby since she had been off the birth control pills and IUD device.
Everyone chuckled slightly before quieting down. "I will like to say that Jethro and Loreile are now husband and wife. You may kiss your bride Leroy Jethro Gibbs." He will announced with Gibbs lifting the veil to kiss her deeply... "And god bless!"
