MAC'S APARTMENT

Mac woke up to the aroma of coffee.  What in the world? She thought.  "Hello?"

"Good morning!" Bobbie, Harriet and Chloe said running into the room carrying breakfast.

"What are you guys doing here?" Mac asked. "It's only 8:18"

"We wanted to make you a wedding breakfast." Chloe said jumping on her bed.

"This is great." Mac said as she picked at a bagel.

"Mac, what's that?" Bobbie asked pointing to the wedding gown.

"My wedding gown!" Mac said jumping out of bed.

"What?" Bobbie asked. "But I thought…"

"Harm went to Norfolk to get it, they sent a helo to the ship to trade the gowns." Harriet blurted out.

"Harriet how did you know that?" Mac said. "I didn't even know how they got it."

"The Admiral told me last night, I almost yelled at him for sending Harm on assignment this week." Harriet laughed.

"Hey guess what?" Mac said standing in the middle of the room.

"What?" They all asked.

"I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!!!" Mac shouted as she raised her arms in the air.

"Mac you're so goofy." Chloe said.

"Goofy, happy, in love.  I don't care. All I know is the day has finally come." Mac smiled.

"Ok, we need to get organized." Harriet said.

"Well I need to go shower." Mac replied.

"I'll go put our stuff in the guest room." Bobbie said.

"What about me? What can I do?" Chloe asked.

"How about making my bed and then laying out my clothes?" Mac suggested.

"Cool." Chloe said, happy that she was a part of everything.

"Ok, we have all that set, now Mac do you have everything?" Harriet asked.

"I think so.  Sergei has the rings and the pillow for Little AJ. I have my gown, my headpiece, my shoes, and my unmentionables. What else is there?" Mac said.

"Well there is something old something new." Harriet started.

"Something borrowed." Chloe added.

"And something blue." Bobbie said returning to the room carrying several small packages.

"You have the new." Harriet said.

"What?" Chloe asked.

"These." Mac said showing the earrings that Harm had given her for Christmas. "I haven't worn them yet."

"So that leaves something old." Bobbie said handing Mac the first bag.

"Oh this is beautiful." Mac said holding a delicate mother of pearl bracelet.

"We found it in an antique store."  Bobbie said. "The owner said it was over 60 years old."

"Now something borrowed." Chloe said handing Mac a bag.

"Chloe what is this?" Mac asked as she looked in the bag.

"It's my Justin Timberlake Official Fan Club pin." Chloe said.

"CHLOE!!!!!" Harriet and Bobbie yelled.

"What?" Chloe asked.

"It was supposed to be something sentimental." Bobbie said.

"It is sentimental." Chloe replied. "It's Justin Timberlake"

"Chloe it's perfect." Mac said hugging her.

"See!" Chloe said.

"Mac where are you going to wear that?" Harriet asked.

"Easy." Mac said as she walked to her gown and attached the pin to the crinoline.

"And something blue." Harriet said handing Mac the final bag.

"My garter." Mac laughed.

"Now not too high up the thigh." Harriet said.

"Well not to low either." Bobbie laughed.

"OK, I need to take a shower." Mac said popping the rest of the bagel in her mouth and walking to the bathroom.

After Mac got out of the shower, they went to the salon for hair, make-up and manicures.  They got back to Mac's around noon and got dressed.  AJ arrived at 12:50.  "Mac you look beautiful." AJ said.

"Thank you. I, I…" Mac began.

"Tongue tied?" AJ teased.

"A little.  I can't believe it's time." Mac said smiling.

"Well it is.  Are you ready?" AJ asked.

"More than you will ever know." Mac said.

"Wow, don't you all look wonderful." AJ said to Harriet, Bobbie and Chloe.

"Thank you." They replied.  They all started to walk to the door.  When they reached the hallway, they realized Mac wasn't with them.

"Are you coming?" Bobbie asked.

"In a second." Mac replied.  She looked around her apartment. No she looked around their apartment, smiled and joined them in the hallway.

HARM'S APARTMENT

Harm woke up and jumped out of bed.  "I'm getting married today." He shouted to no one. He walked into the living room and to the window.  He threw it open and shouted "Sarah MacKenzie is marrying me today" out the window. He made a pot of coffee and sat on the couch.   OK the guys will be here at 1, I have plenty of time. Harm thought picking up a magazine.  Harm suddenly jumped.  My uniform. He thought running to his closet.  He quickly grabbed the phone.

"Hi Mommy Daddy Baby Ashee and me can't come to the phone please leave a meessag." Little AJ's message on the machine said.

"Bud, pick up." Harm yelled into the phone. "Where's my uniform? BUD!!!!!"

Harm started to pace around the living room.  When his phone rang.

"Hello?" Harm said answering his phone.

"Harm, happy wedding day." Bud said.

"Bud where are you? Where's my uniform?" Harm asked impatiently.

"I'm on my way now. Relax." Bud said.

"Oh Bud you have no idea what just went through my mind." Harm said.

"Don't worry I got it." Bud said. "Open your door."

"Oh Bud, thank god!" Harm said taking his uniform.

"Can we come in?" Sturgis asked.

"What are you guys doing here?" Harm asked.

"In your last hours of freedom, we had to be with you." Sergei joked.

"Ok, how about some breakfast?" Harm asked walking to the kitchen.

"Uncle Harm, where's Aunty Mac?" Little AJ asked.

"She's at her, I mean our, home getting ready for the wedding." Harm replied. "Are you ready?"

"Yes I am" Little AJ announced.

"At least one of us is." Harm said.

"What wrong?" Sturgis asked.

"Seeing you all here, I am suddenly very nervous." Harm said.

"Harm, relax." Sturgis said. "What are you nervous about? This had been a day long in the making."

"I know, I know.  I just can't believe it's finally here." Harm said.

"Harm, let's have some breakfast." Sturgis said.

"You know big brother, I appreciate you letting me have your apartment." Sergei said.

"Well, it's nicer than that dump you call a home." Harm joked.

"Harm, we have our uniforms and tuxes in the car.  It's ok if we dress here isn't it?" Bud asked.

"Yes it's fine. I think I can use the moral support around me." Harm replied.

"What's wrong?" Bud asked.

"I'm nervous." Harm said.

"I don't believe I would see that day that you were nervous." Sergei laughed.

"Isn't it customary to be nervous?" Ahmed asked.

"I don't know but I am." Harm said.

"Uncle Harm, Aunty Mac is nice." Little AJ said.

"Yes she is." Harm said placing him on his lap. "Ok, I need to go shower."

"Well clean up." Sturgis said.

Harm showered and got dressed.  The men, including Little AJ got ready.

AT THE CEREMONY LOACATION

At 1pm the limo arrived to take them to the ceremony where Clayton Webb and Anna Paparini were already waiting.  Harm got out of the limo and walked around.

"Clay, Anna this looks amazing." Harm said.

"This is incredible." Bud said looking around.

"Harm what ever made you think of this place?" Sturgis asked looking around.

"Brother, this is what America is all about." Sergei said.

"I didn't know they would permit a wedding here." Ahmed said.

"Gentlemen, I suggest you take your places.  The guests will be arriving shortly." Anna said she then looked at Clay. "Have I mentioned how handsome you look?"

"I can hear again." Clay laughed. "I'm glad you were able to have someone else cover today. It wouldn't be the same if you weren't with me."

"I'm more than glad to be with you.  Now go usher." Anna said giving him a kiss.

"Yes ma'am, by the way. You are beyond beautiful." Clay said and walked away.

"Harm, you look wonderful." Commander Teresa Coulter said. "I want to hug you but I am afraid I might wrinkle you."

"Not so bad yourself." Harm replied opening his arms for a hug. "Don't worry about the wrinkles."

"Everything is all set.  You just tell me when." Teresa said.

"After she gets down the aisle." Harm said.

"I'll take care of it." Teresa said and she went to take care of it.

Harm paced a little bit and checked his watch.  It was 1:30, if all was on schedule, the guests would be arriving and then Mac. 

"Harm it's a beautiful day and you picked a wonderful location." Reverend Turner said.

"Thank you Sir." Harm said with a smile.

THE MALL

All the guests were assembled in front of the Washington Monument as instructed on the invitations.  Everyone was wondering where this ceremony was going to be.  Right on schedule the rented trolley cars arrived to take them to the ceremony.  When they finally got to the destination all eyes went wide.  Of all the places in the world to have a wedding ceremony, no one ever guessed this.
