Olivia looked at Elliot and told him "you know this means we have a lot of stuff to do." He looked at her and said "yeah I know but we have people to help us right."
"Yeah" Olivia responded.
So they continued with their dancing.
A month later everybody began to get ready for the wedding. They already had the cake, the decorations, and the tuxes for the guys. Then it was time for the girls to get there things, such as dresses, and accessories. When the girls went dress shopping Olivia didn't want an extravagant dress she wanted something simple and plain. But of course Alex and Warner had bud in.
At the dress shop Olivia looked at the dresses that were plain and simple. Meanwhile Warner and Alex were looking at extravagant dresses. Alex was looking through the dresses hanging on the racks and found it the perfect one for Olivia. She took it off the rack and let Warner look at it Maureen joined them and then walked over to Olivia with it. Olivia looked at it. It was a strapless, satin, A-line dress with lace-up back that was rose petal pink and a sweep train. It was beautiful, she wanted it. After awhile of looking Olivia found the maid of honors dress who was Alex. It was a rose petal pink, strapless, ruched, satin, embroidered ball gown. With the color pink in mind Olivia found the bridesmaids dresses. It was a rose petal pink, side-ruched chiffon dress with beading. For the flower girl dress Olivia found one. It was a duplicate of Olivia's wedding dress. The dresses were perfect. Now shoe shopping.
At the shoe store Olivia found a pair of shoes they were sandal with rhinestones on the strap up the heel the shoes matched the other girls. The flower girl though she had a pair of strappy sandals with a small heel.
The wedding was 2 months away and everyone was excited. Elliot had the pre-wedding jitters. Elliot was more nervous than Olivia and he had done this once before and she hadn't.
The day of the wedding the girls went and had their hair, nails, and make-up done that morning. In the hotel Maureen and Alex helped each other with their dresses. Warner helped her daughter who was the flower girl with her dress. Olivia sat on the bed nervous. Alex, and Warner helped Olivia into her dress. She looked at herself in the floor length mirror and smiled. When she turned all the girls were looking at her and smiling as well. After about 30 minutes their was a knock on the door. Maureen went over to the door and opened it and saw Cragen standing there.
"Girls they're ready" Cragen informed the girls in pink. They walked out of the room followed by Cragen and Olivia. Outside of the hotel the limo was waiting in the front circle. They all climbed in and left for the park. Once they arrived at the park Olivia could see all the people talking, smiling and laughing. She saw Munch, Fin, and Dickie waiting for them they looked so handsome. The driver opened the door and let the girls out. One by one the poured out of the limo. When the girls were standing out by the men they began with the wedding. Maureen walked over to Dickie and he took her arm under his and walked down the aisle. Monique met up with Fin who looked so happy and walked down the aisle. When Munch met up with Alex as they were walking down he started to whisper something.
"Hey Alex there is something that I want to ask you after the wedding" he whispered. Alex didn't look at him.
"Okay" she whispered back not looking at him. Once Munch and Alex were down the aisle they separated and waited for Olivia and Cragen. Cragen took Olivia's hand as she climbed out of the limo. As she stood next to Cragen she couldn't help but smile. Olivia looked at Cragen.
"What are you thinking?" she asked smiling. He looked at her let out a soft chuckle.
"When I first met you were very shy but as the years progressed you fit right into our little family." he told her. She hooked her arm with his and walked to the beginning of the path and whispered.
"Thanks dad" he smiled and she saw a tear roll down his cheek. As they walked down the aisle together people rose and turned to watch. At the end of the aisle they stopped.
"Who gives this woman to be with this man?" the preacher asked.
"I do" Cragen answered before he lifted her veil and kissed her on the cheek. He sat down in the front row and smiled. The preacher began with the ceremony and then onto the vows. The preacher looked out into the crowd.
"Does anyone have a reason why these two people should not be married if so speak now or forever hold your peace" when the preacher said that immediately Munch and Fin looked into the crowd. Nobody said anything.
"Well then by the power invested in me, witnessed by your friends and family and by the state of New York I now am happy to pronounce to you Mr and Mrs. Elliot Stabler you may now kiss the bride" the preacher pronounced to the audience and the couple standing in front of him. Elliot wrapped his arms around Olivia and kissed her. Everyone stood up and clapped and cheered. Olivia turned and took her bouquet from Alex who was almost in tears. The couple walked down the aisle followed by the flower girl and ring barrier and then Alex and Munch then Warner and Fin and then Maureen and Dickie. After everyone left the park Cragen stood on the path and looked up to the sky and grinned.
"They did it" he laughed and walked down the path.
