Meg leaned against Michael as the car slowly made its way towards the Italian Kitchen, where the reception was being held. His arms wrapped around her waist as he leaned down to kiss her neck. Meg turned her head slowly and their lips met. As they pulled apart, she slipped out of his arms and turned towards him.

"Thank you for making this the best day of my life." She whispered

"I'm the one that should be thanking you." He said, "You have made me the happiest man in the world."

Meg leaned forward, brushing her lips against his again. She pulled back as the car came to a stop. A few minutes later, the door opened and Michael climbed out. Holding out his hand, he helped Meg out. They made their way towards the restaurant.

As they walked inside, Anton met them at the doorway.

"Michael, Meg welcome. May I offer my congratulations on this most joyous occasion."

"Thank you Anton." Michael said, shaking hands with the man, "Have any of our party arrived yet?"

"Yes, they are waiting in the party room." He said, "Come, I'll show you the way."

He started through the restaurant with Michael and Meg following behind. People looked at them as they passed by, smiling. They stopped outside a door. Meg could hear music coming from inside. Anton opened the door and said

"Let me know if I can get you anything."

"Thanks Anton." Michael said, taking Meg's hand.

As they stepped in the room, everyone immediately began tapping their glasses. Michael turned to Meg and leaned down, brushing his lips against hers. As soon as the tapping stopped, Michael stepped back. He led Meg over to the head table and pulled out her chair.

As they sat down, people started tapping their glasses again. Meg and Michael turned towards each other and kissed again. A few minutes later, a couple of waitresses entered the room, carrying large trays of food. Soon everyone was served and began eating.

About halfway through the meal, people began tapping their glasses again. Michael and Meg turned towards each other and kissed again. This went on a few more times throughout the meal.

As the meal ended, Jack stood up. Everyone turned to him.

"I would like to propose a toast. To my daughter and her new husband, Meg, Michael I wish you as much happiness as Helen and I have had all these years."

Everyone raised their glasses and took a drink. Roxanne stood next.

"I would just like to congratulate my best friend and her new husband. May you both experience a lifetime of happiness and may your lives be blessed"

A few more people spoke, then the music started again. JJ stood up and said

"Its time for the Michael and Meg to have their first dance as husband and wife."

Michael stood up, taking Meg's hand. Pulling her to her feet, he led her onto the floor. Slipping his arms around her waist, he pulled her towards him. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she leaned her head against his shoulder. Slowly they began to move in time with the music.

Soon, others began joining them in the center of the room. When the dance ended, Meg pulled away. Looking around the room, she said

"Where's Rox?"

Michael looked around.

"I'm not sure. I haven't seen her since dinner."

"I'm going to throw my bouquet and I wanted her to be here."

A few minutes later, the door opened and Roxanne stepped inside, followed by Dan, one of Michael's friends. Meg slipped out of Michael's arms and walked over to her.

"Where were you?"

"I was outside." She said, "Talking to Dan."

"I was getting ready to throw my bouquet and I wanted to make sure you were here."

"Well I'm here now." She said, smiling

"Good."

Meg walked over to where Michael was standing. Reaching down, she slipped off her shoes. JJ brought a chair into the center of the room. Michael helped her onto the chair while JJ said

"Attention, may we have all the single woman in the center of the room please."

A few women made their way to the center of the room. Meg turned so her back was to them. Raising her arms, she threw the bouquet over her shoulder. She turned to see a woman catch the bouquet. Michael helped her down and she walked over to Roxanne.

"Sorry, I was hoping it would be you."

"Its all right." Roxanne said, "I may not have caught the bouquet but I got something else."

"What?"

Roxanne pointed towards Dan.

"You and Dan? How…When…"

"Well we were talking before the ceremony and then for a little outside." She said, "We have so much in common. He is totally amazing Meg."

"That's great Rox."

Michael walked over a few minutes later, wrapping his arms around Meg's waist. Leaning down, he whispered

"Are you ready to get out of here?"

Meg nodded.

Michael pulled away. Holding up his hand, the room fell silent.

"I want to thank everyone for helping Meg and I celebrate our special day." He said, "However Meg and I have an early flight tomorrow so we are going to say good night."

20 minutes later

Michael pulled into the driveway for their house. They decided to spend the night there and leave first thing in the morning for the airport. Taking her hand, Michael led Meg up the sidewalk to the front door. Pulling out his keys, he unlocked the door. Meg started to step inside when Michael stopped her.

Before Meg could say anything, Michael scooped her up in his arms and carried her inside.

"Close your eyes."

She did as he asked and stepped inside. Pushing the door closed with his foot, he set her down. His arms wrapped around her waist from behind.

"Open your eyes."

She opened her eyes and gasped. The room was filled with candles, giving it a soft glow. She could smell fresh flowers in the air. Michael unwrapped his arms from around her waist and walked over to the record player. He moved the arm on the player and music filled the room. Walking back to Meg, he held out his hand.

"Would you like to dance Mrs. Brooks?"

Meg slipped her hand in his.

"I would love to Mr. Brooks."

He pulled her towards him, wrapping his arms around her waist. Her arms crossed over his shoulders and her fingers entwined in his hair. She leaned her head against his chest. Slowly they began to move in time to the music.

"I love you Michael." She whispered

He pulled back, looking in her eyes.

"Say it again."

She looked him in the eyes.

"I love you Michael."

He leaned down, brushing his lips against hers.

Carefully he picked her up and carried her towards the bedroom. As he entered the bedroom, he set her down, then slowly began moving her back towards the bed. When the back of her legs brushed against the bedspread, she stopped. Pulling away from him, she said

"Why don't I go change into something more comfortable."

Michael unwrapped his arms from around her waist. She walked over to the dresser and picked up a small bag. Turning around, she lifted up her hair.

"Can you help me?"

Michael walked over to where she was standing. Taking the zipper between his fingers, he slowly pulled up down. Leaning forward, he kissed the back of her neck. Meg giggled and pulled away, moving towards the door.

His eyes followed her until she disappeared into the hallway. He walked over to the dressed and opened a dresser drawer. Pulling out some clothes, he changed quickly.

Walking around the room, he dimmed the lights. The door opened slowly and he turned around. His eyes widened as she entered the bedroom.

She looks like an angel.

Slowly he crossed the room and scooped her up in his arms. He carried her over to the bed and set her down. She moved over and he sat next to her. He began to stroke the sides of her face, her neck and her arms. His hands slid up her arms, stopping at her shoulders.

Carefully he slipped his fingers under the thin straps of her nightgown. He started to slide them down her shoulders. Leaning forward, he began to press kisses along her shoulder, then moved slowly up her neck.

Pulling back, he looked at her face. In the dim light, he could just make out her face. Slowly he began to ease her backwards onto the bed, then moved so that he was lying next to her. His hands found their way back to her shoulders and he began to push the straps of her nightgown down her shoulders.

"I love you Meg." He whispered, brushing his lips against hers.

Well everyone…there you have it. The ending to the story. I hope everyone enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
