"Come on, Sara!" Catherine yelled, knocking on the door of the changing room. "You've been in there for 15 minutes!"
"Do you wanna try this this thing on for me? It's a bit complicated!"
"I know, I've tried on wedding dresses before, you know? Why don't I help you?"
"I almost got it," she said. A moment later she opened the door.
Catherine gasped as she saw Sara in the most beautiful wedding gown imaginable. It was whiter than snow and had a small bell skirt. The dress was strapless with A-line bodice and was tight around Sara's thin frame. The train was in a small sweep style and Sara had chosen white elbow length gloves to go with the dress.
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
"So, what do ya think?" Sara asked, spinning in a small circle.
"I think you shouldn't put this dress on for Grissom or he'll want his honeymoon early," she said. They both laughed.
"So you like it?" Sara asked, setting down in the chair Catherine had been sitting in.
"Heck yes I do; you look gorgeous in it. It's perfect for summer too, it's not too heavy or anything."
"It's been my favorite out of the hundred or so I've tried on."
"So is this the one you want?"
"Yeah, I think it is."
Catherine was helping Sara take the dress off and they were still carrying on the conversation. "You know, when I married Eddie I had had my dress picked out for years. I can remember going and trying on dresses after I got off work at the French Palace."
"Really? I could never picture you doing something like that."
"To tell you the truth, I still do it. After Eddie and I got divorced I needed a new hobby, and then he died and I really got into it."
"So do you have a new dress picked out?" Sara asked, stepping out of the dress as Catherine took it and hung it back on the padded hanger.
"Oh yeah."
"Well you might have to buy it soon if you and Warrick keep this thing you two have up."
"I wouldn't go that far, he's still married. And besides, I don't think he wants to get divorced one day and married to another woman the next. I mean, we haven't even…you know…been together yet."
"You haven't?"
"No, he's still married. I cheated on Eddie because he cheated on me, but Warrick and me want to wait, you know?"
"Yeah, I do."
"So have you and Grissom…," she trailed off with a sly smile on her face.
"What kind of question is that?"
"The kind of question I have to know the answer to."
"What do you think we did the weekend after the party?" she said, smiling shyly as she slipped back into her jeans and T-shirt.
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
Catherine smiled. "You two are really good for each other. I don't think I've seen him smile this much since when you first came to Vegas."
"I love him so much. We've only been engaged for a few weeks but it feels like a lifetime; I can't wait until the wedding!"
"I can't either, I'm gonna get so drunk it's not going to be funny."
"Yeah, it was a big mistake putting Greg and Nick in charge of the reception. How many kegs are we up to again?"
"I think two plus a full bar."
"It's gonna be a great party, one for the books."
"Definitely," Catherine said. "So how many guests are you and Gil up to?"
"I think 200 and some last time I looked. I didn't think we could get that many people but once we sat down and started writing the list kept growing. We rented a church that holds 250, just in case we invite more."
"I'm glad you guys planned the wedding so soon, that way it's still warm outside and not cold or anything."
"Me too; the reception is outside, by the way."
"I know, Warrick told me last night at work. I can't wait until you guys are married! I think Greg now owes Warrick and Nick like $200 a piece because they've had this bet going on for 3 years. Greg bet that you and Grissom would never be together and Warrick and Nick bet against him; so don't expect a big wedding present from him," Catherine informed her as they walked out of the dressing rooms and a woman wearing too much makeup wrote down Sara's sizes and the dress she wanted. The said they had the dress in stock and could get it to her by the end of the week and then make sure everything fit all right and then do alterations if needed. Sara had been lucky that she lived in Vegas because no other place could get her the dress in time for her wedding.
"So sweetie," the woman said with an accent from God knows where. "When are ya getting married?"
"In two weeks," Sara replied happily.
"So soon!" the woman said, not surprised at all. "I must say, you two look really familiar. Have we met before?"
"I don't believe so," Sara said. "Where have you seen us before?"
"Well now…are you two on TV or something?" she asked.
"You may have seen us on the news a few time," Catherine said. "We're CSIs with the LVPD."
"Now I remember! My husband is addicted to the news so we watch it all the time!" she laughed. "So who are ya marryin', darlin'?"
"His name is Gil, he's also a CSI," Sara replied happily.
"I think I've heard of him before! Yes, now I remember! He's the handsome fellow with the beard, right?"
"That's him," Sara told her with a smile.
"Well now, ya'll make one cute couple. Good luck to ya both!"
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me, baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spent the whole night in your eyes
Sara and Catherine thanked the woman and left the store. "I can't believe this is really happening!" Sara told Catherine on the way back to Grissom's place; the team was meeting there to go over wedding details.
"I know! It's so great that you guys finally got your heads out of you asses and realized that you're meant for each other," Catherine said through a smile.
"Thanks, Cath. I'll be sure to remember that when I take blackmail pictures of you drunk at my wedding," Sara informed her in an upbeat tone.
The laughed as they parked in front of Grissom's townhouse. Greg, Nick, Warrick and Grissom's cars were parked there also.
Sara let herself in, no longer bothering to knock since she basically lived there now. The guys were sitting around the bar, eating food someone had picked up from a Chinese place.
"Hey, baby," Grissom said, walking over to her and placing a small kiss on her cheek. "Did you pick out a dress?"
"Yeah, but you can't see it until our wedding day so don't get any ideas, Mr.," Sara told him in a way a child might speak to their puppy.
"I won't, cross my heart and hope to die," he pleaded back in the same tone she had used.
"I love you," she whispered in his ear.
"I love you too," he whispered, placing a wet kiss on her ear.
She giggled like a schoolgirl and walked into the kitchen to get some of the delicious smelling food.
"Here, Sar," Greg said, getting up and pulling a box of lo mein out of the brown paper bag. He handed her the food along with a plastic fork and some napkins.
"Thanks, Greg," she said, smiling at her best friend. "So I heard about how you bet against me," she told him.
"What?" he asked, not knowing what she was talking about.
"I know how you owe Nick and Warrick money because you be that Griss and I would never get together," she said, hurling the ball into his court.
His face turned red and he looked away. "Sorry 'bout that," he said.
"I'm just joking with you, Greg. I'm not mad at you. I think it's funny, actually.
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
"Guys, we have a lot of planning to do today," Catherine said, reminding them. "Did you and Sara decide on a wedding cake design?" Catherine asked Gil.
"Yeah, we went and tasted the different kinds yesterday and decided on a type of white cake. We want the three layer cake with the pink roses on it; I'll have to look up the specific name in the pamphlet they gave us yesterday," Grissom informed her.
"And we're going to buy each other's rings tomorrow," Sara explained.
"Good. Greg and Nick, how's the reception coming?" Catherine asked, jotting down notes.
"Great," Nick said. "We sat down with the guy from the catering company yesterday and picked out the menu. It's some fancy kind of baked chicken, Alfredo pasta, a vegetable stir-fry thing, and some other stuff."
"I'll get you the full menu tomorrow, but I promise there is a lot of vegetarian stuff," Greg assured Sara. "Only a small portion of the menu is meat."
"Good, I'm glad. So what's the keg count up to?" Sara asked.
Greg blushed. "Two, plus the full bar and I have another on order just in case we run out."
"And what if we don't run out?" Warrick asked.
"Then while Sara and Griss here are in Mexico, we have a kick ass party at Catherine's place!" Greg informed them.
"Why does it have to be at my place?" Catherine asked, confused.
"Because you have a big back yard," Nick said.
"Great, I finally moved into a nice neighborhood only to get kicked out because we had a keg left over from the wedding!" Catherine wasn't really mad, she was just playing the part; hell, she loved to drink beer.
"Ok, back to the wedding," Sara said. "Grissom made the reservations for the cruise and Ecklie is actually letting us have the time off if you can believe that."
"I think he's still in shock," Nick said.
"Yeah, you're probably right," Sara said, laughing.
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
