"Unbridled Vernacular" epilogue
By Rita Widmer
AN: Marie just had to have the last word in this story so here is an epilogue with her POV.
*************************************************************************************
One Year Later
~~~~~~~~~~
I usually hate weddings. I'm usually unhappy with someone's choice in what they did with their match, attire, flowers, etc, but today is different. Three months ago I got a wedding invitation, and I thought I was going to faint from surprise. After everything I put them through they still want me at their wedding.
The priest is about to announce them husband and wife. It's when I see couples like this that I miss the man that I left back home. I had left him behind to further my career, and he was not willing to leave the small town we're from. I still wonder if he misses me as much as I miss him.
No more on him. Back to the happy couple before me. They planned to have the wedding as far away in every possible way from Las Vegas. Too much of a harsh reminder of what their first wedding attempt had been like, and I can't blame them. The group here is very small.
I see the whole CSI team here. I see them all with smiles except for that one woman. What was her name again? Sara something. Oh well from my sources she had tried to keep these two apart, but finally came to her senses when she was told to back off because he didn't love her.
I watch them walk down the aisle, and the rest of us follow them out. I can't make it to the reception, because I have a flight to catch. I'm on my first vacation, and if everything goes well I will be only making one trip back here.
I stop in front of the happy couple to wish them luck. "Catherine, you look everything of a blushing bride."
The woman slightly blushed at her words. "Thank you, Marie. I'm glad you made it. I knew I had to have the woman here that brought us back together. We'll forever be thankful to you."
"You're welcome, but all I did was show you the truth you already knew in your hearts." With one last hug I move to the side of crowd to watch them leave. I can see behind the car the big sign of "Just Married Again."
With tears in my eyes I wave good-bye to Gil and Catherine Grissom. Maybe that will be one day soon. Looking at my watch, I realize its time to leave to catch the plane. Its time to go home.
The End
