Due to a previous booking the original site of the wedding had to be moved to the High Point wedding site. Hailey had driven up in person to check it out and was happier with it. It had a semi covered pavilion and more spectacular views, so she booked it immediately and had let her CO know.

Now at the wedding site Janet was glancing around, twitching flowers into place and then she looked over at Cassie and Lt. Hailey, "Well?"

Hailey looked around carefully. The chairs for the guests were in a half circle, with the aisle up the middle leading to the pavilion. In front of the pavilion on each side were flower arrangements of creamy roses, blue hydrangea topiaries and overflowing ivy, the bases of the large containers dressed with blue ribbons. The aisle between the seats was covered in a cream colored satin runner that Janet had picked up for a song at the flea market. The chairs had blue and cream ribbons attached to their backs and the whole effect was simple but stood out against the earth tones of the site nicely. The blues and white of Pikes Peak in the background nicely rounded out the spectacular setting. Two musicians from the Air Force Academy were tuning their violins.

"It looks great. You're a genius Doc." She said sincerely. The three women looked up to see the first limo pull up, and the men get out, along with General Hammond.

Jay placed his brimmed cover squarely on his head and smiled in delight, "It's beautiful Ladies!"

The other men stepped out and Janet smiled, "You all look spectacular." She was right. Jay, Jack, Hayden and General Hammond were all in their dress blues, Daniel, Xander, Giles and Jay's father were all in dove gray summer weight suits with ties that were a shade darker than the uniforms, the effect was lovely.

The men smiled and Janet went over to show Jay's dad were he was sitting. Xander was to seat the women guests and Giles was going to walk Buffy down the aisle. As they sat and chatted quietly the small bus with the first guests pulled up. Xander seated the women, kissing Cassie in front of her Mom, before seating them both. Grinning at Faith as he seated her on the brides side, with Robin following behind. Sam Finn was a surprise and both Jack and Jay nodded at Riley as he sat beside his wife, both dressed in Army dress uniform. Teal'c walked up the aisle with Jay's tiny aunt who had a huge grin on her face as he gently deposited her into her seat.

As more guests arrived, the men were herded into position by the General. He took in the slightly pale groom and smiled, "Buck up Colonel. We could be wearing mess dress." (a/n Mess dress is the hated ultra formal uniform that officers in highly visual postings wear. It has a short 'waiter' type jacket, a cape, it's form fitting, and I'm told, uncomfortable in the extreme)

Hayden, Jack and Jay groaned in unison. "We're grateful that Buffy's never seen them." Jack replied. His phone rang at that moment and Jay swung around to look at him.

"O'Neill." He listened with a frown the said, "Ok, send them up." And he closed his phone.

"Someone held back the girls for another limo coming to the wedding." He turned to the General who looked puzzled as well, "I don't know who it is Jack."

"I guess we're about to find out." Daniel said as the limo pulled up. Giles looked over but Jack walked down the aisle to intercept him.

"Just a second Giles." The door opened and secret service guys piled out, and then a short man in an exquisitely cut gray pinstriped suit got out, smiling as he saw Jack.

"Colonel O'Neill. Nice to see you again." And he held out his hand to be shook.

Jack popped to attention and saluted instead, "Mr. Secretary."

Secretary Bretano looked at the other people in uniform who were saluting and sighed, "Everyone at ease. This is a wedding for Christ's sake."

The General came down the aisle, "This is a surprise Mr. Secretary." And the two men shook hands.

"The President couldn't make it, but asked me to come in his stead. So who's got his head on the chopping block today?" He asked cheerfully. The secret service agents smiled slightly.

"That would be me Mr. Secretary." Jay said, and the Secretary shook his hand as well.

"Congratulations son. I understand that the woman in question is a real peach."

Jay smiled, "I think so Sir." Everyone turned when they heard another vehicle approach.

Secretary Bretano smiled, "Last chance to change your mind."

Shaking his head Jay smiled, "She's the one Sir."

Everyone moved into his or her places and the Secretary sat down as the violins began to play. The car door opened and first Sam stepped out, then Willow, then Dawn, all looking lovely in a sleeveless, knee length blue silk dresses, a shade deeper than the men's uniforms, carrying cream colored roses. They moved into their places across from the men, and waited. They were anxious to see Jay's reaction.

The wedding march began to play as Buffy stepped out of the car, and Jay's heart actually skipped several beats as he looked at the woman he was about to marry.

Buffy's dress was an ivory, strapless, fitted gown covered with alencon lace, and a short train. The matching shawl was gracefully draped around her bare shoulders and over her arms. She wore her mother's pearls and carried a bouquet of blue hydrangeas, stephanotis and cream roses. Her hair was pulled up into a crown of curls and she absolutely took his breath away.

Jack looked at the poleaxed expression on his friends' face and chuckled, "Breath or you're gonna pass out." He murmured, making Daniel and Hayden laugh quietly. The men watched as Giles offered Buffy his arm and they walked up the aisle to the sounds of the wedding march.

She was absolutely the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. The sun was starting to sink in the sky and the first wave of reds and golds gilded Buffy so that she looked like a goddess. Her hazel eyes were only for him and Jay realized that he was the luckiest man in the world.

As she walked Buffy had eyes only for Jay, standing there so tall and handsome in his uniform. It struck her then that he was as much of warrior as herself, though the battles they had fought were different. The love shone in his eyes and Buffy knew that hers reflected it. It was going to be ok, she had her dreams in the palm of her hand and nothing was going to take that away. She turned and kissed Giles, accepting his hug, watched as Jay and Giles shook hands, then turned and took Jay's hand as they faced the General.

General Hammond cleared his throat and began, "I am rarely asked to perform for such a happy occasion. And as such I'll try to keep it short." There was laughter from the audience. "Marriage is a precious thing. It takes hard work, sacrifice but the rewards are boundless. In our line of business it's never wise to take the one you love for granted."

He paused, his eyes taking in the couple before him, then he smiled, "Colonel James Luka Coburn, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"

His heart in his eyes Jay nodded, "I do."

"Buffy Anne Summers, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." She replied, her voice strong and happy.

The General smiled, "The rings?" Buffy handed her bouquet to Dawn and turned back to Jay.

Jack looked startled and began to comically pat himself down before his face cleared and he pulled a platinum band out of his breast pocket. He sheepishly handed it to Jay, who rolled his eyes, causing laughter in the small gathering.

Jay turned to Buffy and she smiled, then she leaned around to shake her head at Jack who grinned back.

"Buffy, I don't have the words for this. It's too big to explain." He held the ring up then slid it on her trembling hand, "I love you and you are my world." He took her hand and pressed his mouth to it, watching as a tear slipped down her cheek. He took a finger and gently wiped it away.

Buffy turned to Dawn, who looked at Jack smugly as she handed the ring over immediately. Buffy looked at the ring, then at Jay, "This symbolizes my love for you. An unbroken circle." She slid it onto his finger and kissed his hand gently, "You have filled me with so much love, you are my world." As they gazed at each other, there were smiles from the audience at the obvious love in the two people before them.

General Hammond cleared his throat and they looked back at him with smiles. "By the power vested in me by the State of Colorado I now pronounce you husband and wife. Kiss your bride Colonel."

Jay grinned, took her hands and pulled her to him for a full blown, romantic kiss that had the assembled clapping. Pulling back, Jay looked into his wife's starry eyes, "Hey Mrs. Coburn."

"Um." Was her intelligent reply and he laughed softly. The music swelled and they turned around to face their friends and family.

"May I introduce Colonel and Mrs. James Coburn."

Everyone stood as they walked down the aisle, then under the crossed swords, manned by friends from the SGC. There was laughter and hugs as Buffy and Jay were congratulated.

A familiar man walked up and Buffy smiled, "Wesley. I'm so glad that you came." She gave him a kiss on his cheek and he smiled, "I was the only one who could make it but they all send their congratulations." He replied, referring to the Angel Investigations gang.

Jay introduced Buffy to some of the SGC members that she hadn't met yet, and as they were talking Secretary Bretano came up. Jay was about to pop to attention but the man shook his head, "Relax son. Introduce me to your bride."

"Mr. Secretary, this is my wife," He beamed as he said it for the first time, "Buffy Coburn. Buffy, this is our boss, just under the President, Secretary of Defense Anthony Bretano."

Smiling Buffy held out her hand, "It's nice to meet you Sir." She said. Her eyes went to his secret service escort, looking them over with interest.

"It's my pleasure Mrs. Coburn. I hope that you don't mind that we crashed your wedding."

Buffy shook her head, "Nope, the more the merrier."

Everyone was smiling and talking and Jack wandered over to the Secretary, "You're invited to the reception Sir. It's at my house. You and your goon squad." He grinned at one of the agents who groaned, "I wasn't sure that you recognized me Jack."

"Oh yeah, I recognized you Frank, even behind the cool shades."

Tony Bretano looked from his agent to the Colonel, "Old comrades in arms I take it?"

"Yes Mr. Secretary." The agent smiled.

"Back when I was younger and much better looking than he was." Jack corrected. Buffy snorted and Jack tweaked her nose. General Hammond came up to join them, "Did you invite them to the reception Colonel?"

"Yeahsureyabeatcha. Excuse me Sirs, I have a blonde to catch." And they watched him as he walked towards the bridesmaids. Jay made their excuses as the photographer waved, "Sirs, we need to get the pictures done before it gets dark, excuse us." And he dragged Buffy with him. The General laughed softly, watching his people getting ready for photos.

"They seem like fine people General." The Secretary said softly.

Hammond smiled proudly, "The best Mr. Secretary."

Secretary Bretano looked around curiously, "Who are the representatives from the Army?"

Hammond looked over and saw the two talking with Giles and another man he wasn't familiar with, "They are part of General Billy Dixon's team." He noticed the Secretary's eyes widen, he was familiar with the Initiative.

"Oh, that team."

"Yes Mr. Secretary. The new bride worked with Major Finn back in California."

Tony eyed the newly married couple curiously, "Interesting." He turned back, "Let's go get some food, shall we?"

Later in their limo Jay and Buffy were exchanging long kisses, having long discarded his cap and she her shawl and bouquet. Jay's tongue thoroughly explored Buffy's mouth, making her moan with want. Pulling back he looked at her and was very satisfied with the 'thoroughly kissed' look she now had. "I love you Buffy Anne Coburn." He whispered.

"Your middle name is Luka?" Buffy smiled, then wiped off the lipstick on Jay's lip.

He grinned, "It's Croatian for Luke. It was my grandfather's name."

"It's beautiful." Buffy leaned forward and kissed him again.

"I can't believe that we finally made it. It seemed like forever." He murmured against her mouth. He pulled back and gently trailed his fingers over her bare shoulder, then leaned down to run his lips over her skin, making her eyes close and her head to fall back. "You smell wonderful." He murmured as his lips skimmed lower.

"Jay, we can't…" She broke off and moaned as he slid a fingertip into the bodice of her gown and slid it across her breast. Turned on and desperate she reached for his buttons when the car stopped.

"Shit." He groaned. Buffy giggled, adjusted her bodice and tried to calm her racing heart. They got out of the car, Jay helping her when she wobbled slightly on her heels.

"Oops." She said then straightened up, ducking quickly behind Jay with a startled laugh as they were pelted with bird seed.

"Congratulations!" Their guests called. Everyone that had been at the wedding were already at Jack's house. Looking around Buffy could only shake her head, Jack had a lighted tent up in his backyard, even a small dance floor inside, with members of the Air Force band getting ready to play. There were tables for people and a large table filled with southern barbecue, french fries, mounds of cut up fruit and lots of napkins. It was relaxed and fun.

After the meal was finished Buffy stood, spoke to some of their guests, then walked over to look at the beautiful cake. Looking closely at the decorations she burst out laughing, making Jay stand to join her, his confusion evident. "What?" Buffy giggled, then pointed, "Look closer."

Jay peered at the decorations and started to laugh. In between the blue and silver roses were itty bitty faces with vampire teeth made out of blue icing. Jack came up with a swagger, "So, you saw it?"

"Jack, you're so weird." Buffy kissed him on the cheek. "I hope you got pictures."

"I'm way ahead of ya. So, you ready to cut the cake yet?"

Jay and Buffy moved behind the beautiful cake and together they sliced it. They both took a small piece and eyed each other suspiciously before gingerly feeding it to each other. Then Buffy took a finger and ran it through the frosting and dabbed it on Jay's nose, making his eyes cross comically. He leaned down and rubbed his nose all over her cheek, causing her to squeal. His eyes met hers and he lowered his mouth for a long kiss, after which he licked some frosting off of her cheek, making her squeal again. There was laughter from their friends and family at the two of them. They cleaned up and as the music began again Giles came up to Buffy.

"They want us to do the Father Daughter dance." His eyes were uncertain but Buffy smiled, "No one else I'd rather do it with." And she let him walk her to the dance floor. Jay watched with pride as his bride finished her dance, then he went up and shook Giles hand, "Thank you."

Giles looked at his son-in law with pride and affection, "Take care of her Jay."

He smiled at the older man, "With my life."

****

Jay was lying on the bed naked, his uniform already put back into its garment bag. He looked around in satisfaction. The lighting was low, there were rose petals sprinkling the bed with one pale pink rose lying on her side of the bed, an open bottle of champagne and some chocolates on the table beside the bed. He wanted this night to be perfect.

Buffy looked at herself in the mirror and gave a shaky sigh. Her hair was down around her shoulders and she wore her shower gift, a Victoria's Secret sheer floral lace teddy in black. It had a deep v down the front, tied with two satin ties widely spaced apart for maximum exposure and it had high cut legs, making her shorter legs look longer. It showed off her skin underneath to perfection and Buffy couldn't wait until Jay saw her in it.

"Buffy?" he called and she gave herself one last glance in the mirror before opening the door.

Jay pushed himself up onto his elbows and gazed at his wife as she walked into the room. His cock noticed too and immediately rose to attention.

"Oh god." He said and she wandered over to pour herself a glass of champagne for her suddenly dry throat. Her eyes met her husbands and her breath stopped at the sheer desire in them. She looked down and suddenly noticed the rose petals on the bed, and the rose. Kneeling on the side of the bed she handed him her glass before picking up the rose to smell. Jay shotgunned the champagne and set the glass on his night table before reaching for his bride.

"Come here." He whispered, and she smiled and took his offered hand. She knelt on the bed and he sat up to kneel in front of her, trailing his fingers down the v of the teddy, making her sensitive skin shiver. He took his fingers and cupped her head, lowering his head to kiss her, then helplessly melting into the kiss.

Buffy's hands roamed over the silky hard, muscular body of the man she loved. She caressed his nipples, making his moan into her mouth. She ran her fingers over his pecs down the hard muscles of his stomach, before gently using both hands to caress his erection. He pulled back from their kiss with a gasp and helplessly thrust into her hands.

Trembling, trying to fight for control he pulled back. "Let me do this for you babe." And with gentle hands he pushed her back onto the bed, fastening his mouth over hers for a drugging kiss. He lifted his head and watched as her eyes fluttered back open, "Love you." She whispered. He smiled and untied the first tie that held the teddy together, then dipped his head to lick the skin that was exposed. Her gasps and moans and whimpers set him aflame with more desire. Untying the next tie he moved down, licking and nipping at the skin, making her writhe on the bed and beg.

At the end of his own patience he pulled the teddy off, his mouth moving lower until Buffy gasped and arched, "Jay!" she moaned and climaxed.

"You are so hot." Jay growled as he moved back up to take her mouth in another deep kiss, nipping, licking her lip, before plunging his tongue into her hot wet mouth and swallowing her cries of delight. He moved over her, nudging her thighs open before settling his cock at her entrance, teasing her by pushing slightly, then pulling back.

Buffy gripped his ass, having had enough teasing, "If you don't make love to me now I'm gonna scream." She whispered harshly, then sighed as he used short thrusts to move slowly into her. Buffy arched to meet him, feeling him fill her like they had been made for one another. Jay leaned down to nuzzle and lick her neck, thrusting faster now. They moved together, their eyes locked on each other, their bodies moving together like a well oiled machine. Buffy felt the shining edge come closer. "Jay." She moaned and arched, shuddering in his arms as she climaxed, a tight velvet fist around his cock. Jay thrust one last time before shouting Buffy's name, his body jerking as he came forcefully.

Buffy pulled him down to rest on top of her, loving the feel of his body pressing her into the bed. She could feel his shudders as he came down off the orgasmic high and she smiled smugly that she could turn him into jello like this. She turned her head and kissed his cheek, smiling as he grunted. "Hey." She whispered.

Jay raised his head and kissed her, "Hey yourself. I think I've lost the feeling in my legs."

Buffy snickered, "I've got rose petals stuck in places I don't even want to think about." She could feel Jay snort, then start laughing. She joined in and they helplessly collapsed into laughter.

Buffy laughed and hugged him, "You're so weird Jack. I hope you get pictures before we serve it."

Surveying the cake complacently he nodded, "Already done. You may squish it into each other's faces now
