"OhmyGod.OhmyGod" It was Saturday morning. The morning of Sam's wedding.
"Sam, calm down and sit down so I can do your hair!" Tracy, her ever-patient hairdresser said.
"But I'm never going to be ready! I've only got another two hours!"
"And you will be ready" Janet said with a mouth full of hair grips. She was in the middle of twisting Cassie's hair back.
"She's right Sam, provided you stay still long enough, I'll have done in half an hour which will give you plenty of time to do your make up to cover that eye and get dressed" Tracy explained. Now it had been logically explained to her, Sam felt much calmer.
"Okay, you're right" Sam said, taking deep breaths.

Exactly two hours later Jack was stood in front of a room full of people he didn't know, waiting for Sam to walk down the aisle. General Hammond was giving her away because Jacob couldn't make it, and Teal'c and Daniel were being the best men. Though Daniel was pale and his chest still hurt, he had begged Janet to let him come anyway, and she agreed. She'd always had a soft spot for him.
Then the music started playing and Cassie walked down first on Teal'c's arm, then Janet was next, on Daniel's arm. But then...
…then came Sam. Jack felt his eyes widen and his mouth open. Allright, close your mouth now Jack, he thought. Her hair was twisted and curled back from her face, with random curls framing her face. Her dress made her look amazing, covering all evidence that two days ago she was close to death, and her simple silver necklace finished it off. He heard a snort of quiet laughter off to his left and recognized it as Cassie. He couldn't look away from Sam though as she walked down the aisle. She was breathtaking.
When she reached Jack, General Hammond gave her a fatherly hug and whispered "You look beautiful, Sam" in her ear.
She whispered "Thank you. None of this would be happening without you" back. Then she turned to face Jack. God he looked so handsome. In his traditional tuxedo and the distinguished grey in his hair. I am the luckiest woman in the world, she thought.
And then Jack took her hand and the ceremony began.

It went past in a blur. After what seemed like only minutes she heard the priest say "You may kiss the bride" and felt Jack leaning over kissing her lightly on the lips. Everyone cheered and then they headed for the reception.
Jack had chosen the venue, and had promised Sam she would love it. He was, of course, right.
It was a picturesque restaurant just outside Colorado Springs. It had ivy covering the outside walls and roses growing just in front of it. As the weather was beautiful, the reception had been set up outside under a white marquee. There was a perfect view of the sun setting and Sam couldn't have asked for anything more perfect.
"Jack" she breathed "this is perfect"
"Told you" he said with a cocky grin on his face
"Shut up" she said laughing. She had never been this happy before in her life.
"I just wish...I just wish Jacob was here. He would have wanted to see you looking so beautiful" Jack said wistfully.
"I know, me too" Sam, her eyes shining, took his hand in hers and squeezed it gently "Come on, we've gotta go cut the cake"
After cutting the cake, it was time for the first dance. When Ronan Keating's 'When you say nothing at all' came on Janet couldn't think of a more appropriate song for his two friends.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may, I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where
ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may, they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where
ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where
ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
The day came to end too soon for Sam and Jack. When there was only Daniel, Teal'c, Janet, Cass and General Hammond left Jack picked Sam up and carried her out into the car before whisking her away on their honeymoon. It was to Jack's favourite place in the world. His cabin.

When they got there Jack realized how lucky he had been. Sam could've died and today, today would have been one of the worst he had ever had. He had just married the woman of his dreams and now he had to show her just how much he appreciated her.
"I think, Mrs O'Neill, that we should retire to the bedroom"
Sam just shot him a wicked smile.
The End
