Daniel and Teal'c reached Janet's house in ten minutes. "JANET!" Daniel called, pounding on the door.
"What?" A sleepy Cassie asked, opening the door for the madman to come in.
"Where's your mom?"
"At the base. She had to pull an all-nighter."
"Get her on the phone. Sam and Jack are getting married at 10:00!"
Cassie's eyes widened. "What?"
"Yeah. That's what we said."
"You mean they didn't tell anyone, and we're just assuming we're invited, or what?"
"That is not the case, Cassandra Fraiser. They have simply decided last evening over…other forms of entertainment that they wished to engage in the proper nuptials."
"You mean they were…"
"CASSIE!" Daniel shouted, scarred enough by the sights that he'd seen at Sam's house.
"Sorry. I guess I have to get ready for a wedding. Where is it?"
"At the base. You know the way?"
She nodded. "Just get me clearance to get in, and I'm good."
"I'll try."
"I'll call Mom while you two get to the base."
"Great!" Daniel said, running out of the house and back into his car.
Finally, at 9:58, all of the guests were at the base. None of them were properly situated, but they were all there. At exactly 10:00, Thor beamed into the Gate Room. And at 10:04, Sam walked down the very short aisle on her father's arm, toward Jack, who was flanked by Teal'c and Daniel, co-best-men.
Janet and Cassie stood on the other side of Thor, dressed in simple blue dresses that were similar in coloring to Sam's short-sleeved pastel blue dress that was mid-calf in length. The military men were dressed in their dress uniforms, and Daniel and Teal'c wore matching blue suits.
"We gather here today to witness the joining of these two Earth people." Thor began.
"Finally!" General Hammond breathed.
There were a few people dressed in dress blues in the Gate room, and those who were in BDUs stood in the Control Room and in the Briefing Room or in their various places of occupation (Siler had wired the ceremony to be broadcast over the intercom for those who could not be in the Gate Room and it was videotaped to settle the off-base bets).
Not a dry eye could be seen in the entire complex, and when the ceremony was finished, there was much rejoicing and also gnashing of teeth- after all, the bets all had to be settled for better or worse.
