Moments 4/4
By: Allison
A/N: Wow…I'm finally finishing this last part…I should probably thank Laeta right now, because she is the one that really wanted to read this last chapter. So I guess this is sort of dedicated to her.
What do I know?
I can't compare…
What do I know?
It's just not fair…it's wonderful
You gaze upon the two people standing in front of you, and you can't help but let a smile creep upon your face. He's smiling at her, love in his eyes, and she's staring back, right into them, oblivious to everything else. Their hands are clasped tightly together, knuckles white with anticipation.
They were old souls, soul mates, you could tell. Two people that had endure a lifetime of struggle, tears, heartache, and happiness. She slowly blinked, a wistful smile on her face, as if she meant to lean her head comfortably on his shoulder. He rubbed the back of her hand gently with his thumb, mindlessly, unaware of his actions.
Opening your bible, and clearing your throat to speak, you get the feeling that the couple standing before you, about to become husband and wife, was one that was destined to last.
A union truly blessed by God.
"Do you Gil Grissom, take this woman, Catherine Willows, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part, as long as you both shall live?"
With that thought lingering in your head, the words you're speaking to them seem so much more lasting, permanent, final.
"I do."
You see the tears forming his eyes, the happiness on his face.
"Do you, Catherine Willows, take this man, Gil Grissom, to be your lawfully wedded husband—to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." She replies, a mixture of love and conviction in her voice.
"May I have the rings, please?"
The dual best men each take out a small box from their pockets, and hand them over. Calmly, the groom slips the ring onto his new wifes' finger, entwining his fingers in hers for a moment, and squeezing her hand lovingly. She places the matching ring onto his finger, and smiles.
You haven't seen this kind of bond, in a long time.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present, Mr. And Mrs. Gil Grissom… You may kiss the bride."
His hands snaked around her waist, pulling her in for a soft passionate kiss. Her eyes are open for a moment, locked with his.
It was a perfect moment. The first of a lifetime of them.
It's wonderful….
It's wonderful…
I can't compare….
The End.
