Well the day went pretty fast and hectic. Mrs. Hudson was just as happy as
Doc and the big hug she gave H quite took him by supprise. It didn't stop
him from returning it though shocking Mrs. Hudson in return. He left Baker
Street to talk to his brother Mycroft about the upcoming wedding and I was
left with doing a few things of my own. Before I knew it it was time.
Mycroft had been more then helpful. There was a lovely cottage not to far from Baker Street. It belonged to one of the Diogenes members who now was on vacation and while away he had let Mycroft or other members use of it. It was big and absolutely breathtaking. I couldn't not do it justice by describing it so I won't even try. There was two floors though and while H and the men was downstairs I was upstairs getting the final touches togheter. Mary and Mrs. Hudson was very helpful. I had a white beatiful long dress. Simple with no extravagant features on it and some flowers hanging down on my left side in my hair. I didn't want a veil or a hat.
"It's time." Mary informed me right before she went down to the others.
Ok, everyone was downstairs waiting for me. I suddenly felt very nervous. Taking a deep breath I opened the door. I heard some faint music being played. A violin? I had not heard the piece before but it was beutiful. I descened down the stairs. Again, another deep breath. God, the music was breath taking. I went around the corner and entered the ball room. As I did I saw H. He was so handsome in a tuxedo. Looking at me I could see he was equally taken in by my appearance. Mission accomplished. Smiling at me as I walked to him. Doc was standing next to him smiling aswell. Heck everyone was smiling, Mrs. Hudson, Mary and the priest. Even Mycroft seemed to be hiding a smile. I saw the guy playing the violin standing a little bit behind Doc.
The ceremony began as the priest said a few very nice chosen words. He looked at H. "Do you Sherlock William Holmes take Gina Kristina Gerome to be your wife?"
The intensity in H eyes is something I'll never forget. "I do."
The priest turned to me. "Do you Gina Kristina Gerome take Sherlock William Holmes to be your husband?"
I think I managed to give him the same intense look as he gave me. "I do."
"The ring."
I looked at H who smiled back at me. Ring? I had not even thought of it. H turned and took something from Doc. Then he put the most beautiful ring on my finger and a perfect fit it was. A gold ring with a small heart on the top. The heart was a beautiful heart shaped stone. Diamond? Neh.
"Repeat after me." The priest said to H.
"I, Sherlock William Holmes..........."
"I, Sherlock William Holmes............" took my hand in his.
"take thee Gina Kristina Gerome...."
"take thee Gina Kristina Gerome...." that intense look again.
Anyone who's ever gotten married or witnessed a wedding knows how these things are done. Frankly I got so weak in the knees and my mind kind of blurred I don't remember much except that loving look from H.
Then the priest asked me to repeat after him. I did but and managed to get it all right. It didn't occur to me until after I had repeated everything the priest had said I had had no ring of my own to give H.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Sherlock Holmes."
We turned and accepted all the congratulations and hugs that were given us. Well I did while H shook hands not being one for hugs.
Afterwards we all had a bite to eat, Doc made a small toast to us and a good time was had by all. Some hours later when everyone had left, after congratulating us yet again, H and me were in one of the upstais bedrooms.
"It all turned out quite nicely." He said to me while helping me out of my dress.
"Yes it did. I had a good time and it looked like you did aswell."
"Indeed I did."
We both got undressed and went to bed. H gathered me in his arms. "I never thought this would happen to me. Being married." He laughed.
"Any regrets?" I let one of my hands caress his face.
"None at all." He took my hand and kissed it. "You made a beautiful bride."
"And you made a very handsome bridegroom. You kow, I really loved the music piece that was played. Never heard it before."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it since it was written for you."
I turned to look at him. "You wrote it?"
He nodded.
"I thought maybe the violinist, what was his name, Michel wrote it?"
"Sorry to dissapoint you."
"Oh not at all my love." I smiled as I gave him a light kiss.
We left it at that to then do what every couple do on their wedding night. As always it was an explosive night.
I woke next morning to find the bed empty. I got up, got dressed in a beatiful blue dress H had bought for me a few days before. When I was done I went downstairs and found him sitting in front of the fireplace.
"Do you know how annoying it is to wake up the day after your own wedding to find that you are alone?" I said outloud. His head whipped around and I noticed I had startled him.
He smiled at me. "I am sorry. I woke early and didn't have the heart to wake you."
I walked toward him and once near him he drew me to sit in his lap. "What is it?"
"I think you know." He didn't look at me just staring at the fireplace.
"Yes, so when is it time?"
"I'll be leaving this afternoon." Still not looking at me.
"Already?" Then it hit me. "You'll be leaving, you mean we?"
He turned to look at me and I saw the answer in his face.
I got up. "Damn it you are not leaving without me."
He sighed. I expected many explenations as to why I shouldn't come with him but to my supprise there was none.
"Are you sure?" He looked right at me.
I nodded.
He got up and walked over to me. "God knows I wanna spend as much time with you as possible."
"You make it sound like.....You are going to be fine. You are gonna beat Moriarty, come back alive and well. You know why? Because now that I have gotten you to marry me you think I'm gonna let you get away that easy?"
He laughed and hugged me. "God I love you so much."
I'm sure he felt how stiff I got because he realesed me and looked at me. "I should have said that before."
"Oh I know you love me I was just......"
"......supprised when I said it. I do love you so very much."
I smiled. "Well that is good because my dear H, I love you too."
After that we spent some time taking a long walk. We didn't say much just enjoying the time togheter.
