"This shouldn't take too long." Chaplin Hudson said. "Colonel, you'll stand
here, Dr Jackson stand next to him." Jack and Daniel moved as instructed.
"General Hammond, Mr Carter, Mrs Carter, Matthew if you'd like to take a
seat and everyone else if you'd please make your way to the back of the
chapel."
Everyone got up from their seats and made there way to the back of the chapel.
"So should we make a run for it and head for the bar?" Jacob asked.
"Dad!" Sam swatted him in the arm.
"I was just asking." Jacob rubbed his arm.
"Give me twenty minutes General." The Chaplin winked at him. "And I'll join you."
"I'd join you but I think it would be against some regulation, the law and my Mom would have a problem with it." Cassie added.
"Too right."
"Let's just get back to rehearsing." Sam suggested.
"Okay. Once the first piece of music begins Mr Murray will escort Mrs O'Neill down the aisle to her seat." Teal'c held out his arm, Annabelle took it and they slowly walked down the aisle. Sam and Jack had been adamant that Teal'c be directly involved especially since he had given her away the first time. "Next it will be Miss Hannah." He crouched down. "Do you know what you're supposed to do sweetheart?"
"I have to sprinkle rose petals as I walk down the aisle. It's right together, left together."
"That's it. Do you want to practise?" Hannah nodded. "When you get to the other end go and sit with your parents, I'll show you to stand when I get back up there." Hannah began to walk down the aisle. "Up next we have Miss Cassandra Fraiser. I take it you know exactly what to do too?"
"Yes." Cassie replied.
"Then get a-walking." Cassie began the aisle. "Dr Fraiser, you're up next ma'am."
"See you at the other end." Janet winked at Sam.
"Once she's got there, the music will switch to the other interesting choice of the day."
"I'm taking it Dad didn't pick the traditional wedding march."
"No."
"Dad, do you want to tell me what you picked?" Sam asked.
"No. So we walk down the aisle and hand her over to Jack."
"Yes sir. Let me get back to my position and arrange the bridesmaids and then you start to make your practice entrance." The Chaplin turned and quickly walked up the aisle and Janet, Cassie and Hannah in height order.
"So why not the traditional music?" Sam asked.
"You're already married besides I thought it should be something to reflex both your personalities."
"So this is one of those situations when it's best not to ask?"
"That would be the one. If you makes you feel better, Selmak highly approves of my choice."
"Not really. Your friends really don't have any taste in music; I have a very strong memory of that." Jacob handed her over to Jack.
"Colonel, take her hand." Jack did as he was told. "I'll say a few words, then you'll repeat your vows, since you've already done we don't need to practice that bit, you'll just have to repeat it after me. Then we come to the part with the rings, we it's time Doctor Jackson, will hand you the Major's ring Colonel, you'll repeat the part about the rings after me, then Dr Fraiser will hand you the Colonel's ring Major."
"That's a point. Sam I need your ring." Daniel said. Sam tugged it off and handed it over.
"Colonel." Janet prompted. Jack reluctantly took it off and handed it to her. Sam glanced down at her hand.
"Something wrong?" Jack asked.
"I've never just worn my engagement ring, the weight feels off balance."
"Don't worry you'll get it back in eighteen hours." Daniel said reassuringly.
"Just don't lose it." Sam warned.
"I won't."
"On second thoughts let Murray hold on to it until tomorrow." Sam said.
"Sam, I promise I won't lose it."
"Daniel you'd lose your head if it wasn't screwed on." Jack said.
"Now I'm feeling really loved." Daniel said sarcastically.
"Keep the ring, just don't lose it."
"Now that's cleared up, they will be a prayer then the whole kissing the bride part. Then you'll turn and walk out to the other piece of music the General choose." Sam eyed Jacob suspiciously.
"What?" Jack asked.
"Dad chose music which apparently represents our personalities; I'm just not sure what it is."
"We're done." The Chaplin said.
"Good." Jacob said. "Let's go to dinner, there is a restaurant three blocks from here called Godelive's. They're expecting us."
"I taking it there will be cake at this party?" Jack asked.
"Probably." Jacob replied.
"No cake Colonel." Janet said.
"Doc?" Jack pleaded.
"No cake today, you can eat as much tomorrow as you like."
"You know you're a pain." Jack scowled at her.
"Don't worry about it Janet, apparently I'm evil." Sam said.
