this is about two weeks after the last chapter since didn't know where to go from there and thought would throw in the wedding scene
It had been two weeks since the whole kidnapping had happened and after which they had decided would go ahead with the wedding plans to try to get things back to normal. They had decided would be on a stretch of private beach of course with Matt as ring barrier and Grace was flower girl. Danny best man with Chin as grooms man. Kono maid-of-honor and Mary Ann bride maid. The wedding dress was pretty simple and lovely shade of ivory was strapless with a bodice made of a lace fabric covered with small hearts with a small jacket that went over the bodice and simple red embroidery. The pews were lined with roses and flowers covered the surface everywhere and smelled like lilacs and lavender.
Catherine was sitting in a small room getting ready with her mother helping with her hair and there was a knock at the door which Kono walked in wearing a floor length light purple dress, "About everyone is already out there so waiting on you and the guys to be ready of course."
Her mom nodded before leaving, "Thanks Kono."
She handed her a tissue, "Feeling okay?"
Catherine wiped at her eyes, "Just my emotions are going haywire right now."
"One thing at a time and will be just fine," she told the woman who had become a good friend to her and they long ago excepted her into the family. "Been through a lot of things last few weeks and that has never been to good right before a wedding and that all what had happened."
Mary popped her head in, "Am glad that the two of you finally decided to go ahead with this and looks wonderful."
Kono hugs her, "Good to see that you made it."
"My flight was delayed a while but ever the gentleman Adam had waited for my plane to land and took me here."

Danny knocked on the door of where Steve was helping Matt get ready and smirked as see him fuss with the tie. Chin was standing off to the side watching the little boy who was messing with his tie just to mess with his father to try to make him smile but hadn't worked all to well, "You ready in here?"
Matt ran over hugging him, "I look really good?"
They high-fived, "Of course you do little man better than your dad if ask me."
Steve slapped his partner on the shoulder, "Don't make me kill me at my own wedding."
Danny rolled his eyes at him, "Already checked in with Kono and everyone's waiting for things to start."

After the whole thing was over they didn't have to go far to where the reception was being held at a small banquet hall on the same small beach. Everyone was there and seemed that even team Callen had made a small appearance during the ceremony while in town for a case. Catherine soon found him chatting with someone, "Hey sailor."
He wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her into a kiss minding her healing wounds, "You look so wonderful out there."
She pat his chest smiling, "You don't look to bad yourself. As remember someone once said 'very James Bondish' that's for sure."
He was about to lean down to kiss her again when DJ announced the first dance so pulled her to the dance floor, "Sure up for all of this?"
She laid her head on his shoulder, "I am fine just emotions are getting to me tonight more than usual and not sure why."
After the second song Bryan had taken her for a dance and he looked around as Gracie pulled his arm, "Care for a dance uncle Steve?"
He moved her so could dance just fine, "You look amazing kiddo."
"Thank you," she smiled at him, "Danno and you look awesome too for sure."
Danny and Chin were standing off to the side as Gabby was talking to someone about something to do with work, "So you two ever doing this?" Chin asked him.
"I don't know right now with the twins coming and what chaos has been going on around us but am glad that they finally had their chance. Heard been chasing their tales around for the last seven or so years before would even really admit what was going on between them. Broke things off once and look what happened."
"They broke things off and ended up with a good thing in Matt which no one regrets getting him."
Doris had been invited and thought would get one dance from her oldest, "Mind one dance with your mother?"
He turned to face her but didn't know what to think as led her to dance floor, "You look so much like your father the day we got married."
He shook his head of the thought about his father not being there, "Thanks for coming Doris."
She kissed his cheek, "At least could do and not miss your wedding and was wonderful."

After a while Steve walked back into the main room looking around he could see that Matt was favoring his arm so he crossed the room and led him outside and sat him down on the wall that span quite a bit of the beach around them and handed him some water and Tylenol for him to take, "Feeling okay buddy?"
He nodded and handed him the water, "Yeah, daddy."
"How about a dance with Cath? Get one yet?" He shook his head and found his bride sipping something. "Have seemed to miss an important dance."
She turned and kissed him on the lips and Matt on the forehead, "Think forgot our dance?" he shook his head. "Neither did I but guess dad here can join us. A boy band song had started and quite a few turned to where Danny and Gracie were dancing figuring she was behind the song. "Talk to my folks?"
He glanced over to where her parents were sitting with some of her family, "We had a little talk but he still is mad about you being at Pearl all of the time. Your mom said he just doesn't want to give up on the idea that you will follow in his footsteps and keep raising in the ranks for the Navy and go places."
She kissed him again, "I wouldn't rather be any other place especially with all of you on the island."
Kono had got a dance with him and Grace had found a few times in getting another dance. Matt had mostly not strayed far from Steve who seemed to be attached to since the accident. A few of the kids that were in attendance there had started to get tired so thought best t o cut the cake. The cake was red velvet with white frosting a roses all over it. A bunch of people were gathered around where the cake was on a table as they cut the cake and he thought of something and ended up smashing the cake in her face and she rolled her eyes before doing the same thing as laughter erupted from the crowd.
Danny was going to keep Matt and Bryan over at their house while away and had Matt who was about to fall asleep so Danny walked over to his partner, "Gracie and Matt are about to fall asleep. Gabby is getting really tired to thought best to head home for the night."
They shook hands and Danny hugged her, "Have fun on that honeymoon to where ever your going and don't worry about them."
Kono walked over, "Guess also need to call it an early night for me."
Chin nodded, "Me too since some of us actually have to get up in the morning and head to work."
He watched them say goodbye to Catherine before leaving and he could see she was exhausted and glanced at his watch as walked over, "It's well past midnight and seems that most of the guests are gone so wont mind if we get out of here. Have an early flight in the morning," they said goodbye to the remaining guests before heading to the room her folks had reserved for the night. "Hands around my neck, hold on tight." he told her, and she rolled her eyes at him, but obliged. He bent down and swept her legs out, lifting her up and carrying her over the threshold and into the room. She had expected him to let her down immediately inside, but he carried her to the bed, gently placing her down before turning to close the door.
She got up and reached up to take out the pins that had kept her hair up most of the day. She shook her head and all fell around her shoulders, "I can't believe-"
He stopped her with a passionate kiss, "Neither can I but we are finally."

In the morning he had woken up a while before the alarm was due to go off and rolled onto his side as watched her sleep and couldn't believe the night before he had married the love of his life and in just a few weeks they were going to have a baby together. She loved to be around Matt and Bryan which always reminded him how much he loved her even before they had made it official. He knew that Lexi was a mistake but the one thing good that ever came out of that bad relationship was that he became a father and loved him to death. He went on a short run since had the time and by the time he came back and took a shower he packed up their bags and put them in his truck. He sat on edge of the bed shaking her good arm, "Cath, time to get up."
She didn't open her eyes but smacked his hand away, "Five more minutes."
He leaned over and kissed her, "Sorry but let you sleep longest could but if want to eat and get out of here on time need to get up."
She yawned and headed to take a shower and the ride to the Honolulu International Airport and after getting through security he made her sit down while he got their bags checked in and boarding passes. Catherine looked up from her Iphone to see a man who had a gun in back of his jeans before he grabbed a woman by the arm putting the gun to her back. She walked over to where Steve was standing and told him what she had seen. He ran a hand down his face, "Call Danny and tell him," he grabbed his gun and clipped his badge to his jacket. "Stay here."
Danny was sitting in his office working when his phone rang and looked at the caller id smirked, "Thought had a flight somewhere this morning?"
She rolled her eyes, "There's a man with a gun walking around the airport with possible hostage."
He grabbed his car keys and talked out of the office relaying the same information to Chin and Kono, "Alright be there in 10."
Steve leaned against the wall nearby the man that had stopped as he pulled out his phone sending message to Danny, come in with no lights or sirens
He didn't need to wait long for response, okay but where are you? the gunman?
He sent one back as kept eye on the guy, he's not far ahead of me between gates 23&25
Danny relayed the information to everyone and sent one to both of them,we just got here and headed straight for you
