(Grissom and Sara climb into their limo.)
Sara: I can't believe we did it.
(Grissom takes Sara's face in his hands and touches his nose to hers.)
Grissom: I can.
(Sara smiles as Grissom brushes a stray hair from her face and kisses her passionately.)
Grissom: Do we have to make an appearance at the reception? You know, we could probably get an earlier flight to Italy.
Sara: No Gil!
(Sara playfully pats him on the arm.)
Sara: It would be nice, but we have to be there to see our friends and get our presents.
(Grissom perks up.)
Grissom: Oh! I forgot about the presents! Never mind I want to see what we got!
(Grissom and Sara both smile.)
Sara: Me too. I hope we get a cappuccino maker!
At the Reception
Catherine: Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Grissom!
(Everyone claps as Grissom and Sara enter the hall hand in hand. They head towards their seat at the head table where Warrick, Tina, Greg, Nick, and Brass are already seated.)
Catherine: I was told to keep the speeches short, so I'll start mine now. I've known Gil for many, many years. He has always been a complex man that no one has ever fully understood, except for Sara. When I first met Sara I felt threatened to be completely honest. I thought she was going to take my place as Gil's best friend. After a day of knowing Sara and seeing how she interacted with Gil I knew I had nothing to fear. I knew she would play a much more important role in his life, his soul mate. Sara and Gil have had many ups and downs in their relationship. I know all of us co-workers have tried to help them through it. We all knew they should and would eventually be together. I am so happy for them.
(Catherine turns to Grissom and Sara as she starts to cry.)
Catherine: You two are two of the most important people in the world to me. I want you to know that I will always be there for you and your baby. I wish you both the best life can give you. Well, I think my speech has been dragged out long enough, so now I would like to call on Warrick Brown, Gil's best man.
(Catherine returns to her seat as Warrick approaches the microphone.)
Warrick: I was surprised when Grissom asked me to be his best man. I was happy of course, but wasn't sure why he didn't ask one of his best friends. Jim Brass. Well, it turns out he did ask Jim.
(Everyone starts to laugh.)
Warrick: Jim refused. I later learned of why he declined. He told me he couldn't be Gil's best man for one reason. He said knew Grissom very well, but not so much with Sara. Now Jim knows Sara of course, but said I knew them as a couple better then he did. I was very flattered. So, now I will talk about Sara and Grissom as a couple. Like Catherine, I knew they had a special connection. I always considered myself Grissom's protégé and did not know about Sara until she came to Vegas. At first I thought Grissom was her mentor and I was now shafted, but then I saw her and knew that she must be something more because she looked so good.
(Everyone claps.)
Warrick: You may not believe it, but Sara has had many gentlemen callers around CSI. Actually, most of the guys who have ever worked with Sara have flirted with her, including me.
(Warrick looks over at Grissom who has a sour look on his face and Sara whose cheeks are red from embarrassment which makes Warrick and everyone else laugh.)
Warrick: This is very true. Nick had the first shot with Sara. He would turn Sara's words against her and make it seem like she was flirting with him, but the rest of us knew better.
(Warrick looks at Nick whose cheeks are the same shade as Sara's.)
Warrick: After Nick it was my turn. I tried to woo her with cute comments and little flirts, but nothing happened. Next, there was Hank, who we won't speak of.
(Everyone boos.)
Warrick: Then there was Hodges, and David. They just liked to gawk and never really acted on their feelings.
(Everyone looks over at their table where David is trying to hide his face with his napkin and Hodges is slouching in his chair.)
Warrick: Sara also had a couple of suspects that we're into her like the best man at the Chase wedding. All of the previous men I have mentioned, including myself, tried and failed. My last example also failed, but was the most persistent: Greg Sanders.
(Everyone turns to Greg who let's out a groan.)
Warrick: Greg flirted with Sara so much that Grissom almost killed him a couple of times.
(The whole room breaks into laughter.)
Warrick: Grissom could handle all of our little flirts, but not Greg's because they were so big! Although we all tried so very hard to gain her attention, we all got treated like brothers, except Grissom. She always treated Grissom differently and vice versa. I always noticed their little looks and comments that made their smiles so very goofy.
(Warrick looks over at Grissom and Sara.)
Warrick: I knew they were meant for each other and am glad they are finally together. I wish you guys all the happiness in the world. Could everyone raise their glass for a toast?
(Everyone lifts their glass of wine and clinks can be heard around the room.)
Warrick: I would now like to ask the bride and groom to grace us with their words.
(Warrick returns to his seat and Grissom and Sara head over to the microphone.)
Sara: Hello everyone. Gil and I would like to thank you all for coming to share our special day with us. Thank you all for your encouragement and kind words while we planned for this wedding and our future baby.
Grissom: We would also like to extend special thanks to our co-workers of the night shift. First, Jim, Greg, and Nick for being ushers.
(Grissom turns to Jim.)
Grissom: Jim, you are one of my best friends. There have been many occasions where you have helped both Sara and I. We thank you for that.
Brass: You're both very welcome.
(Grissom, Sara, and Brass all exchange smiles.)
Grissom: Next is Greg.
(Grissom looks over at Greg who looks very scared.)
Greg: You have been annoying, obnoxious, and a thorn in my side for years, but no one has given me the energy, focus, and determination like you have. You have also helped Sara and me through our struggles. Thanks.
(Greg smiles at Grissom and salutes him which makes Grissom laugh. Grissom turns his attention to Nick.)
Grissom: Nick, you are an amazing man. You have survived being stalked, having a gun put to your head, and being buried alive. As if that wasn't enough to deal with you also looked out for Sara and I. From my heart we thank you.
(Nick nods at Grissom and Grissom nods back.)
Grissom: Next, I need to thank my best man.
(Grissom turns to Warrick where he is sitting with his wife Tina.)
Grissom: Warrick, you are a great CSI. It is true what you said, you are my protégé. I was so impressed by your knowledge of forensic science, and the way you did your job, but also by your caring and loving personality. During our hard moments you comforted both Sara and I, and did your best to help us. We wouldn't be where we are today without your support. Thank you.
(Warrick waves at Grissom and he waves back.)
Sara: The last person we would like to extend our special thanks to is my maid of honour. I know you are all probably wondering why I am going to thank Catherine and not Grissom because she is more of Grissom's friend, right? Well, over the past two months Catherine and I have grown even closer as friends. We had a bumpy start as she mentioned, but our friendship has grown over the past six years and this wedding and baby have just brought us even closer.
(Sara turns to Catherine as her eyes start to get teary.)
Sara: Catherine, you have been my rock throughout this planning stage. You have not only helped me plan my wedding, but you have helped me plan to be a mother. I know I can always come you with any problem or favour and you will be willing to help. With that said, I'll let Grissom announce the news.
(Sara wipes her eyes as she moves aside for Grissom.)
Grissom: Catherine, you have always been there for Sara and I and I want you to be there for our child. I don't want to hold anyone in suspense so I'll just say it, Sara and I would like you to be out baby's god mother.
(Catherine throws up her hands and let's out a scream. She runs over to Grissom and Sara to hug them.)
Catherine: Oh! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! I was hoping you would ask me!
Grissom: So do you accept the duty?
Catherine: Duh!
