Anyways here we go! YAY!
The soon to be Caitlin Dinozzo paced around the room of the church. Her high heels Clicking on the hardwood floor. Two minutes to go. I swear if he's late, I'll kill him. She thought. Just then, a pale Abby rushed in, (Well, paler than usual.) "Oh god, I knew it, he's late!" Kate cried. "I swear, I'm gonna kill him, I knew he would..."
"Kate, something has happened." Abby said cutting her off. "It, its Tony,...his, his limo was hit on the way over, the driver's fine but..."
"Oh my god he's dead isn't he!" Kate started bawling (I would too).
"No, no, it's not that bad," Kate looked up, hope in her eyes. "He's in the hospital though."
"What!" Kate cried. "Oh my gosh! We have to go there now. And with that, Kate was out the door. Abby had no choice but to follow. When they got in the limo. (A/n: it's the means of transportation, give me a break.) Kate ordered the limo driver to drive to Bethesda Naval Hospital
10 min. later
The receptionist looked up from the counter and was surprised at what she saw, a brunette woman in a beautiful wedding dress and a Goth-looking woman standing next to her. The bride looked absolutely terrified, the Goth really pale (though she couldn't tell if that was normal or not). "Can I help you miss?" She asked.
"Yes actually, you can." Kate said. "Can you tell me what room Anthony Dinozzo is in?"
"Just one moment please," the receptionist replied. "Ahh, here we go Anthony Dinozzo, room 102." She said, smiling up them.
A wave of relief swept over Kate. "Thank you so much!" Kate said and rushed off. Abby stayed behind.
"Can you call Our Lady of the Pines Catholic Church and tell them we need Father Andrew over here right away and send him to room 102?" The receptionist nodded. "Thank you so much!"
Kate ran by all the doors looking at the numbers, "98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 10... Wait, 102!" She ran in, Tony was lying there, helpless, "Oh my gosh Tony!" Kate cried, collapsing on the bed in tears. Tony was unconscious, his tuxedo torn, and his head all bandaged up.
"Good thing this isn't a rental huh?" Tony said. This brought a laugh from Kate, albeit a wet one.
"You can always fund something to laugh about can't you, even in the worst situations?" Kate said
"I try my best," he said, "anything to make you happy." He lifted her chin so she was looking at him. "You look beautiful Kate, if only this was our day."
"Oh but it is your day." Abby said from the door, "Father Andrew is on his way, I asked the receptionist to call the church."
"Oh my gosh Abbs! Did you really?" Kate asked, Abby nodded, "Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to us." She cried, running over and giving Abby a hug.
"No problem guys, anything for you two. You deserve it." Then, in Kate's ear she said, "Besides, I have a bet with Gibbs on whether he would be late or not, this way, he can't be." They both giggled.
"What the hel..ck are you two giggling about?" Tony asked, just in time for Father Andrew to walk in.
"Hello Father, thank you for coming." Kate Said.
"Of course my dear Caitlyn, I appreciate you asking me to do this." He replied.
"There is one problem though, I need seven witnesses."
"I'll be one!" Abby volunteered.
"Me too." Tony's doctor said, walking in.
"And me!" Said a nurse. The receptionist was to be one, as was 2 other nurses.
"Well that leaves us with 6, we need 1 more." The Priest said
"I'll be one." Gibbs said, running in. "Sorry I'm late guys."
"Late for my wedding Gibbs?" Kate said.
"Well looks like we have 7 people. Do you want to begin?"
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, We are gathered here today to witness the joining of this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Please join hands." Tony and Kate joined hands, he squeezed her hand encouragingly. Do you Anthony Dinozzo take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and protect her and keep you only unto her as long as you both shall live?"
"Tony smiled and said, "I will."
Father Andrew smiled at him and turned to Kate. "And do you Caitlin Todd take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and protect him and keep you only unto him, so long as you both shall live?
"I will." Kate said, glowing with happiness.
"Who gives this woman to be married to this man?" The priest asked.
" Uhh, I guess I do." Said Gibbs Stepping forward. The Priest nodded. Gibbs stepped back.
"Please repeat after me Anthony. I Anthony Dinozzo take thee Caitlin Todd."
"I Anthony Dinozzo take thee Caitlyn Todd."
"To be my wedded wife,"
"To be my wedded wife,"
"From this time forward,"
"From this time forward,"
"For better or for worse,"
"For better of for worse,"
"For richer or for poorer,"
"For richer or for poorer,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"to love and to cherish,"
"to love and to cherish."
"Till death do us part."
"Till death do us part."
Father Andrew then turned to Kate.
"Repeat after me."
"I Caitlyn Todd take thee Anthony Dinozzo,"
"I Caitlyn Todd take thee Anthony Dinozzo,"
"To be my wedded husband,"
"To be my wedded husband,"
"From this time forward,"
"From this time forward,"
"For better or for worse,"
"For better or for worse,"
"For richer or for poorer,"
"For richer or for poorer,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"In sickness and in health,"
"To love and to cherish,"
"To love and to cherish,"
"Till death do us part."
"Till death do us part."
"May I have the rings please?" Father Andrew asked. Abby stepped up and gave them to him. "Now Anthony, please repeat after me: In token and pledge"
"In token and pledge,"
"Of the vows between us taken,"
"Of the vows between us taken,"
"With this ring I thee wed." Tony said, and placed the ring on Kate's finger.
"Now Caitlin, repeat after me: In Token and pledge"
"In token and pledge,"
"Of the vows between us taken,"
"Of the vows between us taken,"
"With this ring I thee wed." Kate said happily.
"In as much as you have, in the presence of god and these witnesses, declared your intention and consent to enter into the bounds of holy matrimony, by the authority vested in my by this church of god, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." And that they did, very well may I add.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
So, how'd ya like it. Just in case you were wondering, during the vows, the people talking second were Tony and Kate.
