A/N: Hello again, everyone!

Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds.

My apologies if I made any mistakes but enjoy the chapter!

"Hey, little guy," Reid comforted a fussy Isaac after giving Séraphine her whole wheat Belgian waffle topped with a fried egg with low-fat cheese and a small bowl of berries to the left side of her breakfast plate. He just had a fresh cup of coffee. "It's okay, little man. I got you, Ziggy-Zac." He began feeding him the pumped breast milk Élise pumped the previous night as she came into the nook. She was dressed in a white shirt, black cashmere jacket, straight pants, and heels.

Reid smiled, "Morning, love."

"Mama!" a mouthful Séraphine babbled.

Isaac smiled when Élise walked in.

Élise let out a small smile, "Hey, everyone."

Opal dashed into the nook and snuggled Élise's legs. Élise petted her fur. "Hey, Opie. How are you doing this morning."

Opal responded with a bark.

Élise chuckled as Reid gave her a cup of tea after kissing her lips. "Oh, thank you, brains."

"How are you feeling?" asked Reid as he watched her take a sip.

Élise swallowed, placed her hand on her stomach, and answered, "I feel like I'm going back to school. Bloody nerves and nausea."

Reid sighed as he was about to ask her a difficult question. He knew what she's been going through recently and how it was her first day back to work since her maternity leave ended. "How are you feeling since…?"

"I'm good, babe," Élise caressed his cheek and had another sip. "You're right; talking about what's been going on with me has really helped."

Reid kissed Élise's temple. "Awww."

"How are you doing this morning, Fifi?" She stroked her fingers through her tight curls. "Ooh, look at your hair, little girl."

"You know, I've been looking at videos online," Reid pulled out his phone and showed her a couple of videos, still holding Isaac. "And I've also been reading some articles on how to take care of her hair as well as Ziggy for when he gets older."

Élise chuckled as she played with a piece of Isaac's hair. "I can already imagine this boy's hair. He'll probably have your curls as have."

"Let's pray Aunt Ethel won't torment us about cutting his hair." Élise joked.

Reid ran his fingers through his hair after setting his phone down. "Yeah, let's hope not."

Élise finished the rest of her tea when her phone vibrated. Looking at the time and the text message from Marshal Johnson, he was outside and waiting for her. "Ooh! I have to get to work."

Reid gave Élise her traveling mug and kissed her lips again. "Pick you up after work?"

"Mm-hmm," Élise gave Séraphine and Isaac a kiss, Opal another stroking, and was on her way. Reid gently got Séraphine out of her seat, held her hand, and watched from the window as the Marshal helped Élise get into the car; they waved to her, and she waved back.

Reid knocked on Hotch's office door after arriving at the bullpen.

"Come in," said Hotch from his office door.

Reid walked in and closed the door, only to find Hotch standing by his desk, stacked with files, and he himself was looking at one.

"Hey, Reid," said Hotch as he picked up his head after seeing Reid enter his office.

Reid greeted his boss back. "Hey."

"How's everything?" Hotch began to strike up a conversation.

Reid shrugged and scratched his neck. "Decent. Élise is going through some…personal struggles." He noticed how fast Hotch snapped his head up when he mentioned Élise.

Hotch asked with concern, "How is she now?"

"She's been getting help," Reid answered quietly. "And we've been talking about how she's been feeling. And me, too. Élise is taking it one day at a time." Reid looked down and tapped his feet. "Even me."

Hotch nodded. "Well, that's good for the both of you. Is she back at work?"

"Yeah, she went back today." Reid gulped. "You know I can't help but worry about her, you know? And me and…" Reid could barely bear to finish the sentence and just stayed silent.

Hotch placed his hand on Reid's shoulder and ensured him, "If there's anything that you need, you let me know immediately, okay?"

Reid agreed. "Okay."

Élise was on her phone, waiting for Reid to pick her up, when a tall man approached her after putting away his phone in his jacket pocket.

"Your husband is here."

Élise placed her phone back in her bag. "Thank you."

Marshal Johnson escorted Élise to the parking lot. They saw Reid driving and Séraphine and Isaac in the backseat, napping.

"Thank you, Marshal." He opened and closed the door for her. "Have a good night."

"Good night, ma'am," Marshal Johnson bowed his head. "Sir." He turned his head to Reid.

Reid waved. "Good night." He soon drove off and asked Élise, "So, honey. How was work?"

Élise sighed. "It was nice." She massaged her forehead. "Decisions, decisions, decisions. So many I helped make today to make our world a better place. I feel so tired. If I have to make one more decision right now…"

"Well, we are going to have spaghetti and meatballs for dinner with garlic bread and leafy green salad for dinner."

Élise smiled.

The family had their dinner, and now it was time for bed.

Reid offered to tuck Séraphine in as did Élise with Isaac.

"Ooh!" Élise squealed, looking at her cell phone as Reid left the bathroom, already clad in a shirt and flannel pants. She scooted next to him. "I can't get over this invitation."

It was a wedding invitation template in a Victorian portrait style with floral and scroll designs.

The Families of Anna Delilah Carney and Nathan Ji-Hun McGee cordially invite you to their wedding on September 29th, 2012, at the Henderson Community Church. Following the reception and Paebaek Ceremony at the Longhorn Room at Binion's.

"Still can't believe it'll be Great-Uncle Roger's final service." Élise read the message.

Reid pursed his lips. "No surprise; the man is 80, but he's still healthy as a horse with a fighting and fiery spirit." He banged against his chest.

"I can see where Aunt Ethel gets it from," Élise remarked with a smirk.

Reid chuckled as he looked at Reid's phone and scrolled through the email. "Mmm. I've read about the Paebaek Ceremony. It's an intimate Korean unification tradition historically performed after the wedding ceremony to represent the bride entering the husband's household."

"This is going to be a fun celebration," Élise turned her phone and set it on the bedside. "I can't wait to see everyone again. Anna asked me if I could be a bridesmaid if I were up to it. Considering how she planned our wedding, absolutely."

Reid stroked her cheek. "Well, that's nice."

"Just a couple of things we need to straighten out," said Élise before taking her glasses off, placing them in the case, and setting them on the bedside next to her phone. "Think we should take Séraphine and Isaac with us?"

Reid pursed his mouth again. "Probably not the best idea. Isaac's too young, and Séraphine had just recovered from her cold. Plus, think of it as a post-baby weekend getaway."

Élise pressed her lips together and rolled her eyes. "Yeah." Élise shrugged. "Who can babysit them while we're gone?"

Reid scratched his cheek. "Definitely not JJ after the whole Prentiss faking her death debacle and the Green Fairy hungover."

"Oh, yeah," Élise groaned. "Morgan would probably use our children to score a date."

Reid stifled a peal of laughter. "Yeah, probably. Garcia would probably want to keep our children to herself. Rossi doesn't have the energy to deal with a 19-month-old toddler and a 3-month-old baby."

"Alex said she'd love to babysit, but her husband's overseas," Reid mentioned. "And Rose said she'll be at a wedding herself to see one of her nephews get married."

"There's always Hotch and Jessica, but I think it's best if my family would do it."

Reid suggested, "You'll call them in the morning?"

"Mm-hmm," Élise rested her head against the pillow. "Right now, Judge Bastien needs her sleep."

Reid replied, "As do Supervisory Special Agent Spencer Reid."

Élise giggled before they engaged in a passionate kiss after turning the lights off.

Élise placed her phone to her ear, waiting for the caller, and they finally answered after the third ring.

"Yello?"

Élise casually greeted her older brother Arthur with, "Hey, bro. How is everything in the Garden State?"

"Ah, everything good on this end. How about your end?"

Élise exhaled, "Everything's good here, even Spencer. So, you don't have to think about whomping him or anything."

Arthur chuckled, "Don't worry. I think you can handle him without my help. Now, is there anything that you need?"

"Well, now that you mention it, yeah. Spencer and I are going to his cousin Anna's wedding this weekend, so may you babysit Fifi and Ziggy for us, please?"

Arthur answered, "Eh, why not? Anything for my niece and nephew."

"Yes!" Élise cheered. "Thank you, bro. I owe you one."

For the next couple of days, Reid and Élise worked, took care of the children, been browsing through a few more houses, and managed to go to an open house.

"Okay," Élise set her luggage bag next to Reid's by the front door, just as Reid walked into the foyer, holding Séraphine's hand and carrying Isaac in the other. "Aw, let me hold my little boy." She gently coaxed Isaac from his arm. "Hi, Zig-zag. Are you going to miss mommy?"

Isaac cooed and smiled, making Élise smile.

"I mis yoo, mama," Séraphine waddled towards Élise and hugged her legs.

"Oh," Reid scooped her up and kissed her head just as the front door rhythmic knocked three times. He and Élise immediately smirked as they knew who it was.

"¡Mi familia!" Élise grinned when her family appeared.

"Hey, little sis!" Arthur exclaimed as he and Brenda stepped inside the house first. "With my nephew and bro-in-law!" He pulled Reid into a quick brotherly hug. "Hey, Fifi!"

Séraphine tottered her way towards Arthur and Brenda. "Artie! Bea!"

Ms. Geneva smiled. "Lise!"

"Lisey!" Mr. Micha opened his arms out after he and Ms. Geneva stepped in and closed the door behind them. "Lisey!"

"Hey, pop!" Élise warmly greeted him. Pulling back, she looked at her father's stomach, "Has your belly been going down?"

Polite and heartfelt laughter enriched the family.

"Let us see our grandson," Ms. Geneva smoothly took Isaac from Élise's arms and began doting him. "Look at this big guy. Look at you, big guy. Look at you."

Élise moved some of her hair back just as Reid walked out of the house after picking up their bags to place them in the car. "Okay. Phone numbers and emergency contacts are on the kitchen counters next to Ziggy's feeding schedule. His bottles are in the fridge. We went grocery shopping earlier this week, so you don't have to worry about anything, but if you want something from the outside, we left some money on the counter."

"Don't worry, Élise. We'll take good care of Fifi and Ziggy," Brenda assured Élise as she scooped Séraphine and bounced her.

Reid opened the door again. "I got the bags packed. We're ready to go."

Élise sighed as she turned around, gave her family another hug, kissed Séraphine and Isaac's heads before she and Reid bid farewell to the family.

Now it was fifteen minutes till one. Arriving at the main terminal at McCarran International, Reid and Élise had just reached the baggage claim area and picked up their luggage.

"Spencer!"

They turned around, and it was the usual Carney family members. Cousin John with Melissa and Sabrina; Anna and his soon-to-be cousin-in-law Nathan; Uncle Gordon and the ever-memorable Aunt Ethel.

"Hiii!" Ethel cried as her arms opened, itching to hug her nephew and niece-in-law. "Oh! Look at you two." She ran her fingers through Reid's hair. "When are you going to cut this hippie-style hair?"

Reid chuckled amusingly. "Nice to see you again." He soon hugged Gordon.

"How are you doing, boy-o?" Gordon guffawed.

"Hey, cousins," Anna hugged as she hugged Reid and gasped when she saw Élise. "OMG, Lise!" She took her hand and spun her around after hugging her. "You did not just have a baby."

Melissa made her way and agreed, "I know, right?" She and Élise embraced. "You look so good."

Élise complimented back, "As do you, Melissa." Élise flexed her arm muscles. "I've been working out lately. Mostly from YouTube workout videos by Connie Tang, BadAbs, May Feng, and lifting two babies."

"And speaking of babies…" Ethel folded her arms, and a smirk appeared on her face.

Anna assured as Nathan looked away, snickering and blushing, "After the wedding on Saturday, mother." She knew her mother would freak if she and Nathan had sex before the marriage.

Ethel inhaled and exhaled with a smirk. "That's all I want."

"Uncle Spencer!" Sabrina waddled towards Reid and cuddled him.

"How are you, my pretty niece?" Reid squeezed her before noticing Samuel in the stroller. "Hey, Sammy! How are you?"

Samuel cooed.

"He's so adorable and so cute." Élise waved to him. "He's so precious."

Ethel batted her eyes. "Hope we get more pictures of my movie star nephew Isaac."

"And you will, Aunt Ethel," Élise singsonged.

The Bastien-Reid and Carney families stopped at the Carney Ranch to drop off their luggage. They had a quick lunch before a nap before Reid and Élise visited a very special someone.

"Mom?" Reid called out his mother, who was with two fellow elderly patients.

Diana lifted her head up, and her eyes sparkled and smiled, with her white teeth showing with joy at seeing her son. "Oh, my baby boy." She got up from the couch and immediately started hugging him. "Oh! How are you doing?"

"Good, mother," answered Reid as she pulled back.

"My Élise!" Diana embraced her next before her eyes grew worried. "Oh, where are my grandchildren? Did something happen to them!?" Diana shook Élise's shoulder.

"Now-now, Mama D," Élise took her hands and gently smoothed them and her back. "They're in D.C. with my family. Isaac's too young to travel right now, and Séraphine just recovered from a cold."

"Oh," Diana sighed and had her hand on her heart. "Oh. Thank God." She began squealing again. "Ooh! I'm so excited about Anna's wedding tomorrow."

"Same here," Élise agreed.

Soon, the three of them began talking more about Anna's wedding, and Diana introduced Reid and Élise to a couple of her patient friends.

Now the Bastien-Reid and Carney families had dinner at Nathan's parents' nearly two-and-a-half acre and over the ten-thousand-square-feet custom-built estate.

"Mmm…" Élise enjoyed the dinner Dr. Jee-Yoon made for dinner. "These mandu dumplings are even better than the ones I ate from our honeymoon to South Korea. So delicious."

Reid agreed; his mouth was full of noodles. "Mmm-hmm."

"It's delicious, honey," Dr. Nigel nodded.

Dr. Jee-Yoon smiled, "Thank you. They'll be plenty more at the wedding on Saturday."

"And speaking on the wedding," A woman with olive skin tone, brunette bob hair length, hazel eyes, and dressed in a yellow cardigan sweater dress rose from her seat. "I would like to propose to a toast."

Oliver, a young man with pale skin, coifed hair, hazel eyes, and Grace, who had light skin tone, brown eyes, and long brown-blonde hair; both business casual attired, also rose and held their glasses in the air.

Amelia smiled; her newly wedded husband rose next to her. "Anna, welcome to our family, and may God bless you and my brother, Nathan, until the end of time."

"Amen."

"Amen!"

BANG! BANG! BANG-BANG-BANG!

Reid removed his goggles and headphones, and the human silhouette target pulled up closer to him.

John appeared next to him, as did Nathan.

"Wow," said Nathan, nodding his head and pouting his mouth as he was impressed Reid managed to get the heart and head targets. "Remind me never to mess with you."

Reid chuckled. "You should have seen me when I first started in the FBI."

"How were you when you started in the FBI?" asked Oliver as he removed his goggles after removing his headphones.

Reid answered truthfully, "Anything that was technically book related I was good at, and they had to make some exceptions for me to out in the field. Definitely not your average person when you entered the academy at twenty-one. But as the years went on, I've improved. I shot my first kill during a hostage situation in the head nearly seven years ago. Then another shot to the chest that killed the man who held me captive for two days six years ago and another headshot kill when protecting a doctor after he shot me above my left knee three years ago." Reid opted to leave out Tobias Hankel having DID and his drug usage.

"Whoa." Oliver held his hands out and took a few steps back. "I'm never messing with you."

Noah agreed, "Same."

The gentlemen engaged in light laughter.

"Sorry if we couldn't go gambling, guys." Reid apologized. "Unfortunately, I'm banned from casinos in Las Vegas, Laughlin, and Pahrump because of my card-counting ability."

"That's okay," said Nathan in a relaxed tone. "Personally, I'm not into gambling."

Oliver raised his hand, "Same here. Why do you think I'm a video game designer?"

"Not every bachelor party has to include gambling and poker," John reminded Reid. "Remember when we went paintballing and top golf for my bachelor party?"

Reid smirked. "Now, that was fun."

"I say we have a good bite to eat and then head home," Nathan declared, rubbing the back of his neck. "I need my sleep for my big day tomorrow."

"Aw, yeah." John wrapped his arm around Nathan and smiled. "You're going to marry my beautiful sister." In hushed tones, John replied, "And you better give my mother some grandchildren."

Nathan pinched his nose, chuckling, and assuring, "And we will. You can't rush things."

"I wonder what the girls are up to now," Reid thought about what Élise and the girls were up to.

"Well, the Chippendales are performing tonight," Oliver slyly smirked. "And The Thunder from Down Under."

"Dude!" John's eyes widened before breaking out into chuckles.

"Ooh. Now, this was exactly what I needed."

The ladies enjoyed themselves at the 134,000 square-foot Canyon Ranch spa + fitness at the Palazzo for Anna's bachelorette party.

"As do I," Élise was having a soothing massage. "I was in desperate need of a massage."

Melissa agreed. "Same here."

"How are my growing niece and nephew doing?" Anna asked.

"They are wonderful," Melissa answered heavenly. "Twice the work, but twice the blessing."

Grace asked as she had a mani-pedi, "Ready for the big day tomorrow, Anna?"

"Oooh," Anna suddenly felt a chill and knot in her stomach. "I'm already nervous just thinking about it."

"It's okay, Anna." Amelia comforted her. "Remember a couple of months ago with Noah and me? I was such a nervous wreck; I almost threw up on my wedding gown. Twice." She chuckled. "But then I looked at him, and all those bad feelings and thoughts went away. It's going to be fine."

"And if not, we can always schedule another full-body massage for you," Élise made a light joke that got the ladies laughing.

After their time at the spa, the ladies went shopping around the Las Vegas Strip and grabbed a bite to eat.

Reid and Élise woke up and got ready for Anna's big wedding day. They took a shower, washed their faces, and got dressed up.

Élise was still in the bathroom as Reid, already in his suit and tie and polished black shoes, grabbed his cellphone, pressed a number on speed dial, and placed the phone to his ear. He patiently waited for the caller to answer and finally did after the third ring.

"Yello?"

Reid chipperly greeted, "Hey, Arthur!"

"Hey, Spencer!" Arthur greeted him back.

"Dada!" Séraphine came to the phone.

Reid smiled, "Hi, princess! Are you behaving yourself with grandma, grandpa, Uncle Arthur, and Aunt Brenda?"

"Yeah, she's behaving herself."

Élise walked out of the bathroom, already in her ruby bridesmaid dress and matching color shawl: a flutter sleeve wrap bodice with a knee-length circle skirt with light gathering in the center front new gold Manolo Blahnik heels, and gold jewelry. Her chin-length hair was straight and smooth, with some of her bangs wispy, her skin glowed, and her makeup was natural and fresh.

"Hey, everyone!" Élise came to the phone.

"Mama!"

Isaac cooed on the other line.

"Is everyone behaving themselves?"

Brenda assured, "We're great. How's everything in Las Vegas?"

"It's great," Élise answered. "We're on our way to the church."

"Well, have fun!" Brenda exclaimed.

Arthur jokingly replied, "But not too much!"

"Whoo, Mama Diana! Look at you!" Élise couldn't take her eyes off of Diana. She beautifully wore a long-sleeve and floor-length mink color with a demure bateau sequined neckline and comfortable flats. Her short hair was pulled away from her face and style nicely.

Reid complimented, "You look so pretty!"

Diana blushed.

Reid and Élise parked their car in the parking lot and made their way towards the church; Reid helped his mother out of the vehicle. Already at the double doors, there were two columns with white autumn floral arrangements, such as freesias, roses, chrysanthemums, and dahlias.

"Something tells me we're in for a big surprise." Élise bounced on her heels.

They walked inside, and their mouths dropped.

The altar was draped and accented with white autumn blossoms and foliage, including the arch placed at the end of the pews, weave tulles, and pedestal arrangements. The pews were ornamented with the same white autumn flowers, including baby's breath, tulle, and trailing ivy foliage swags; the same with the balconies and windowsills minus the baby's breath. The gold chandeliers glowed, the outside aisles had twinkled light branches, and the white runner was sprinkled with white rose petals. Floral bouquets and arrangements, tulle and silk swags hung to visible trusses, across and from the ceiling to the seating.

"Holy…Anna definitely went all the way out!" Élise was in complete awe.

Diana nodded. "Indeed, she did. It's so stunning."

"You made it!"

They turned around and saw Ethel, dressed in a navy gown full-length A-line skirt, bateau neckline with illusion cap sleeves, low-heels, simple makeup and her hair in clean layers, and Gordon in a black suit and bow tie.

"Ooh, congratulations!" Diana gave Ethel and Gordon a warm hug.

Ethel inhaled and exhaled. "This wedding may not be my first rodeo, but it'll be my last." Ethel sniffed. Her eyes began to get teary, and she held her hands over her heart. "My little girl's getting married."

"And speak of the bride." Élise pointed to Anna walking in the church. "Here comes the bride. Not yet dress in white."

Gidding and bouncing up and down, Anna asked, "So, what do you think?"

"It's stunning, princess," Gordon pulled Anna closer to him and kissed her head.

"I can't believe I'm getting married." Anna squealed and fanned herself. She gasped, and her eyes beamed. "I need to get ready." Anna hurried herself to the bride's suite; Diana, Élise, and Ethel followed her.

Reid was with Nathan in the groom's suite with Dr. Nigel, Gordon, Oliver, and Noah, giving Nathan words of encouragement and advice before Dr. Jee-Yoon walked in. The gentleman excused themselves.

Élise gasped when she helped Anna into her wedding attire. "Oh, my…Anna."

Anna looked stunning in her ivory and white wedding gown: a sheer and shimmering bodice of textured floral appliqués and liner designs with long-sleeve lace and beading. The seamless skirt was made with pleated matte chiffon and had a rounded and long train, her capelet was made from Carrickmacross lace, and her armpit brunette-length hair was in an elegant chignon with a bejeweled hairpin. Her makeup was perfectly natural and fresh, and her skin dewed and smelled of Chanel perfume.

The 'something old' was Ethel's mother's veil and tiara. The Jimmy Choo heels with the sixpence inside were the 'something new.' The 'something borrowed' was Ethel's pearl and diamond earrings. And the 'something blue' was a small ribbon sewn into the inside of the wedding gown.

Ethel tried to say something but fanned herself to try not to cry. Closing her eyes for a moment, she inhaled and exhaled before opening her eyes again. Ethel adjusted the veil and beaded tiara. "Oh, my girl's getting married."

Melissa was helping Sabrina with her white flats, which went nicely with her ivory sleeveless dress. "Anna, you look so good!"

Anna fanned herself, "Oh, ladies. I am scared…"

"We're in the Lord's house, young lady," Ethel wagged her finger.

Anna bit on her manicured index fingernail. "I'm just scared and nervous. I feel like wetting myself."

"It's okay to feel that way," said Amelia. "My brother would be a complete idiot not to marry you."

Anna hissed. "Oh…"

"Darling," Ethel took her hands and asked Anna, "You love Nathan, right?"

"Mmm-hmm…" Anna nodded.

Ethel caressed her cheek, "Then those bad feelings will go away once you see him."

Grace burst in the door, "Okay. Is everyone ready?"

Melissa left with Sabrina, following Amelia. Élise and Diana were still with Anna and Ethel when Gordon walked in.

Anna closed her eyes when Gordon asked, "Ready, princess?"

"I'm ready."

The church was a full house, mostly on Nathan's side. Most of his relatives from the UK were dressed lavishly as if they were attending a royal wedding; the women even wore beautiful fascinators and hatinators.

The wedding began when Great-Uncle Roger walked first. Nathan's groomsmen, longtime friends, and colleagues were next. Then came the bridesmaids with the best men: Reid and Élise, John and Melissa, Amelia and Noah, and Oliver and Grace. Nathan walked in with his parents. Sabrina and Nathan's cousin from the UK was the flower girl and ring bearer.

Then everyone rose from their seats and had their eyes set on Anna as she walked in with Ethel and Gordon.

Finally getting to the altar, Roger smiled and asked, "My good gentleman, do you support your daughter's decision to marry Nathan Ji-Hun McGee?"

"Everyone in the Carney family accepts it." Anna hugged her parents before they joined the rest of the family upstage.

Roger continued, "Everyone, we are gathered here today to witness this wonderful ceremony between these two people and within God's presence himself. If there is anyone who doesn't think these two shouldn't marry, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Ethel, Gordon, John, Melissa, Dr. Nigel, Dr. Jee-Yoon, Amelia, Grace, Oliver, Noah, even Reid, and Élise stared everyone down if they tried to say anything. The ceremony continued as everyone went back to their respective seats and places.

Roger looked to Nathan and asked him, "Do you, good sir, take Anna Delilah to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"Sir, yes, sir."

Roger looked to Anna and asked her, "And do you, my fair lady, take Nathan Ji-Hun McGee to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"Yes, I do."

Roger looked to the crowd. "Will you who have witnessed these promises do all in your power to uphold these two people in their marriage?"

"We will."

Roger asked Anna and Nathan again. "Now, who would like to go first to share their vows?"

"I'd like to go first." Anna offered. She sighed shakingly before collecting her thoughts together. "Nathan Ji-Hun McGee, I promise to be there for you as you were right there for me. I promise to be your bestest friend, biggest fan, your partner-in-crime. I promise never to stop loving you and my love for you to grow bigger and stronger than ever. Salanghae. Geuligo naneun dangsin-ege salm-eul wihae baindingdoego sipseubnida. [1]

Nathan wiped a tear from his eyes and chuckled, trying to shake the developing lump in his throat. "Wow." He exhaled again before beginning his share of vows. "Anna Delilah Carney. I promise to be there for you for everything, good or bad, through triumph and defeats. I promise to treat you with the highest respect, honor, trust, hope, encouragement, esteem, patience, understanding, and endless amounts of love. I knew from the moment I saw you, you've tickled me pink, and I wanted to be yours through the end of time and time itself."

Roger wiped his tears. "Ringbearer?"

The little ringbearer presented the rings. Roger continued as the ring exchanging went on. "Look at these rings as a reminder of your devotion, commitment, and love to each other every moment of every second of every day for the rest of your lives. Amen."

"Amen."

Anna and Nathan couldn't stop smiling, even after he lifted her veil.

"By the power vested in God and me, I now pronounce you two husband and wife. Kiss and let's give these two a hand!"

Everyone roared at the newly wedded and lip-locked Anna and Nathan.

[1] Korean-to-English: I love you. And I wish to be bound to you for life.
