"Yell when you want to stop." Jack said as he drove into Las Vegas.
"Here will do." Sam said as she saw the first clothing store. "But I'm going to need to borrow." Jack pulled over and opened his wallet and handed her his credit card. "Thank you."
"Jack what's going on and why are we in Vegas?" Daniel asked once Sam had left the car.
"Sam and I were talking. We're getting married. How do you feel about acting as witnesses?"
"As in right now?" Daniel said slightly shocked.
"She has to buy a dress first but yeah. We're in Nevada, we have a few hours to kill and why not?"
"That sounds positive." Daniel said sarcastically. "But what about Jacob, the General, Janet, Cassie?"
"We talked about that she's going to have whatever kind of wedding she wants with everyone else back in Colorado, but we're going to get married today. Why waste time?"
"Are you really sure about this?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah."
"Okay, I call best man. Teal'c you can give the bride away."
"Why would I wish to give Major Carter away?" Teal'c asked.
"Daniel, being our cultural expert would you care to get this one?" Jack suggested.
"Teal'c, I didn't mean actually give her away although there are some cultures which do that..."
"Daniel." Jack interrupted
"Sorry, it's more a symbolic thing. In our culture the bride's father usually gives her away or to the man she is going to marry, so he will protect her and support her."
"Can not Major Carter support herself?"
"Teal'c, forget the whole giving away thing. We just need you to sign a piece of paper saying you witnessed the marriage." Jack said. "Do you think you can manage that?"
"Indeed O'Neill. Is Las Vegas a traditional place for such unions?"
"That and gambling." Jack replied.
"If you drive about ten blocks that way you they have a hotel and casino which is in the shaped of a giant pyramid."
"You been to Vegas before Danny?"
"Spring break senior year."
"I would have thought you'd spent your breaks on archaeological digs."
"I was there was one outside Vegas. You can't dig around in the dark, so gambling was the next best thing."
"If you spent the summer gambling why aren't you better at poker?"
"Didn't play poker, we shot craps. That whole luck be a lady thing."
"I think you've been watching too many movies." Daniel looked at him slightly confused. "'Guys and Dolls'. Sam made me watch it with her. You know for being a scientist and an Air Force officer she has surprisingly girly taste in movies."
"I hate to spoil it for you Jack but she told me that she only makes you watch them because she knows how chick flicks make you uncomfortable."
"She's sneaky."
"She's female." Daniel corrected.

Jack drummed his fingers on the steering wheel as they wait for Sam.
"Jack that's getting annoying."
"What's taking so long?"
"This a woman shopping and you gave her your credit card. She could be all day."
"When I took her shopping for a dress for Sara's wedding it took all of fifteen minutes. She's been in there thirty minutes already."
"I think picking your wedding dress takes a bit longer than fifteen minutes. Would you like me to go and check on her?"
"Please." Daniel got out of the car and headed into the shop. Sam was sat inside talking to the sales assistant. She was dressed in a cream dress with small red roses on it. Her uniform was in a bag at her feet.
"Sam?"
"Hey Daniel. Jack going up the wall yet?"
"Yes. That you're dress?" He asked.
"Yes." She stood and spun round. "Do you like it?"
"It's perfect. Shall we go before Jack organises a raid?"
"It was nice to meet you Helen and thanks for the advice."
"It was nice to meet you too Sam."
"What advice did she give you?" Daniel asked as they got to the door.
"The perfect place to get married."
