Tony was right; Gibbs hit him on the head shortly after he announced that Kate was his fiancée, which make her laugh. Their co-workers, including Gibbs who had hit Tony for another reason entirely, were happy for them. Then, while they worked on their various assignments, they also planned their wedding and honeymoon.

They married in late spring, about a year from the time they had begun dating. Abby was the maid of honor, and she actually wore a dress. McGee was the best man, which was surprising to some, but as Kate put it, "It's just because he doesn't have friends outside of work, that and he does like McGee."

Their friends and family filled the church, and the following reception was also filled with their loved ones.

Kate's dress was a strapless, floor-length gown, with silver embroidery. The dress was backless to just below her shoulders, and her shoulder-length brown hair just touched the edge of the back-piece. She decided not to have a veil, but instead she had baby's breath shaped into a circlet and she wore that. Tony wore a white tuxedo with a black tie. The pair was stunning to see.

As they stood before one another and said their vows, no one could help but be touched at the affection they had for one another.

Tony and Kate made vows for one another, and said them in place of traditional vows.

Kate said hers first. "Tony, I remember when we first met, and the different cases we've worked together, and I remember thinking you were the world's most irritating person. But then I got to know you more, and I realized that I was right. But I also realized that I was falling in love with you, and that irritated me even more. But when I saw you, when you were sick with the plague, I knew that I couldn't live without you. Then a few weeks later you saved my life, and I couldn't imagine life without you. So I went from not liking you at all, to falling in love with you and never wanting to lose you from my life. And I'll always love you Anthony DiNozzo."

"You know, I don't know what to say to compare with that. Kate, you are the most beautiful person that I've ever met. You are full of life and intelligence. You don't judge me even when I behave like a jerk. You stayed by my side twice when I was near death. For that, and for so much more, I will never stop loving you Katelyn Todd."

And with that they were husband and wife. Their reception afterwards lasted long into the night, and they enjoyed it a lot.

Afterwards, they took their flight to the Bahamas for their honeymoon.

And of course, they lived happily ever after.

THE END

I'm sorry for how long it took me to come up with this, and I'm sorry that it's a rather short chapter, but this story was hard to write without the muse that was Kate.

Thank you for your reviews!
