Kaira woke up the next day after the craziness that was yesterday. She had told the team that she was gonna get married today. They had spent the whole day shopping.
Today, they'd go to the reception hall and get everything set up. Kaira was so excited! She was marrying Eliot today and she couldn't be happier. She met with the team for breakfast and they made the plan. Kaira and Eliot left to go to the courthouse and the team went to the reception hall that was picked out. Kaira was nervous as she and Eliot went to the courthouse. They arrived and Eliot helped Kaira out of the car. He kissed her forehead as the couple put their arms around each other as they walked in. They got their marriage license and walked out. Kaira was smiling the whole way back to the car. So was Eliot. He looked at her lovingly as they got to the car.
"You have been smiling nonstop since we signed it." Eliot pointed out, amused.
Kaira smiled and chuckled.
"Can you blame me? I am married to the most amazing guy I know." Kaira smiled.
"I can't wait for our wedding." Eliot smiled at Kaira as he opened the passenger door for her.
Kara smiled as she got in the car. Just as Kaira went to get in, she heard an old old woman's voice directed at Eliot.
"It's nice to see young love." The old woman said, causing a smile on both Eliot and Kaira to creep on their faces.
"Thank you, ma'am. I appreciate it." Eliot said.
He walked around the car to the driver's side and the old woman spoke again.
"It's also nice to see chivalry's not dead. I wish you, kids good fortune in your future." The old woman said a smile on her face.
She walked away as Eliot opened the door and got in, chuckling. Kaira was too.
"So, Eliot Spencer. Are you ready to have our wedding now?" Kaira smirked, excited for what was happening next.
"Goddamn, right I am, Kaira Spencer." Eliot smiled, pulling Kaira into a kiss.
Kaira let go and smiled as Eliot started the vehicle and drove off to the reception hall.
Kaira texted the group letting them know they were there to meet the new husband and wife at the reception hall. Eliot parked the car and the couple got out, walking in to unlock the door for the others. Kaira went to try the lock, but it was unlocked. Kaira was perplexed as she opened the door and walked down the hall. She found the room where the wedding was taking place and opened the door. It was also unlocked. She opened it and the lights flicked on.
The team shouted, "surprise" as they revealed themselves. Everyone was laughing and the couple was surprised. The room was basically finished and tables and chairs were set up. Kaira then spotted Father Paul. He was in his ceremony outfit and walked up to Kaira and Eliot.
"It's good to see you again, Father." Kaira smiled as she hugged Paul.
"You too, Kaira." Paul said, letting go.
He shook Eliot's hand as Kaira looked at the team who was way too happy.
"Paul, you didn't have to come all this way, you know." Kaira said.
"It's no problem. I owed you one for saving my church. When Nate called me saying you and Eliot were getting married and needed someone to officiate, I flew down as quickly as I could." Paul said, giving a slight smile to the couple.
"Thank you, Father Paul." Kaira said.
"Yes, thank you." Eliot said.
The couple then went back into the kitchen that was attached and started cooking the food for the meal that would happen after the ceremony as the rest of the team finished setting up the reception hall.
After a couple of hours, Kaira and Eliot had the food done and the reception hall was decorated. Kaira and Eliot went to their respective dressing rooms and everyone got dressed. Kaira got on her wedding dress, which was rented for the night. Then she put on her heels as Sophie knocked on the door, offering to help with her hair and makeup. Kaira sat down at the mirror and Sophie put her hair in a half ponytail and curled it. Kaira did her own makeup as Sophie went to get Parker ready. The whole time Kaira was getting her makeup on, she was nervous.
This was the biggest day of her life. She knew her parents and Kasey would be so proud of her. Kaira smiled and composed herself as she got ready for the ceremony, putting on her veil. Kaira waited as Paul, Eliot, and Hardison and Parker walked out. Kaira then waited at the door to walk down the aisle.
She grabbed both Nate's and Sophie's arms, holding her bouquet of flowers in front of her. Kaira nodded to Nate and Sophie that she was ready and they started walking. Hardison had the bridal waltz low and Kaira was shaky from nerves. Eliot had the biggest smile on his face as he saw his wife walking towards him. Kaira saw how handsome Eliot was in his suit and bowtie. She walked up to the altar and Kaira hugged both Nathan and Sophie.
"Thank you." Kaira whispered.
"You're welcome, kiddo." Nate whispered with a smile on his face.
Sophie did the same as she joined the line Eliot had behind him and Nate went behind Parker, who was behind Kaira. Kaira stood in front of Eliot, facing each other. He removed her veil, mouthing hi at her. Kaira mouthed hi back with a smile. Paul started his thing.
"Friends, we are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of our friends, Kaira Newton and Eliot Spencer. Now, if the couple would please say their vows." Father Paul said.
Eliot held Kaira's hands and looked at her, his eyes glassy.
"Kaira Newton, you are the best thing to happen to me. Your smile makes me smile, and I can't get enough. I know I am not a perfect man, and I know there have been plenty of times you could've left, but you've been by my side these past five years. I love you. And I promise to love and protect you till my dying day. I love you, Kaira Spencer." Eliot finished his vows, trying to keep cool.
Kaira was next. She didn't even have anything written down as well. She looked at Eliot.
"Eliot Spencer, where do I even begin with you? You've changed my life. You helped me to become a better person. You are always there for me no matter what happens. I love you so much! Thank you for being the most amazing guy a girl can dream of. I promise to be a shoulder to lean on and watch your back till my dying day. I love you so much, Eliot." Kaira finished.
She composed herself and Father Paul continued.
"Do you Eliot Spencer, take Kaira to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as long as you both shall live?" Father Paul looked at Eliot.
"I do." Eliot smiled.
"Do you Kaira Lynn Newton, take Eliot to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?" Father Paul looked at Kaira.
"I do." Kaira answered, smiling as well.
"Now, the rings." Paul said as Hardison smiled, reaching in his pocket to pull out the ring box.
He handed it to Eliot. Eliot grabbed the box and took the rings out and handed the box back to Hardison. He handed his silver band to Kaira and she held it, smiling.
"Repeat after me. I, Eliot Spencer, give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge; to love you today, tomorrow, forever and always." Father Paul said.
"I, Eliot Spencer, give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge; to love you today, tomorrow, forever and always." Eliot repeated, sliding the silver band onto Kaira's left ring finger.
"And now Kaira. Repeat after me. I, Kaira Newton, give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge; to love you today, tomorrow, forever and always." Paul looked at Kaira.
"I, Kaira Newton, give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge; to love you today, tomorrow, forever and always." Kaira repeated, sliding the silver band on Eliot's left ring finger.
They both smiled as Kaira slid the ring on.
"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Paul said.
Eliot placed his hands on Kaira's face and kissed her passionately. He then dipped her as Kaira started giggling, kissing Eliot. They ran down the aisle as everyone started clapping.
Kaira changed into flats for dancing as they all sat and ate. Kaira was on cloud nine. She was officially Kaira Spencer. She couldn't be happier. So once everyone was done eating, Hardison got the music going and they said bye to Father Paul, as his flight was soon to go back home. They thanked him as he left. They were all laughing and having fun when Hardison stopped the music.
"Hey, people. It's time for the bride and groom to share their first dance as husband and wife. Go on out there!" Hardison called out.
Eliot extended a hand to Kaira, who took and got up. They joined at the floor as Hardison turned the music down slightly. Kaira and Eliot were cheek and cheek as they danced. Kaira chuckled and smiled.
"God, I can't believe this is happening." Kaira said quietly.
"I can't either." Eliot smiled as they shared a kiss.
Before Kaira knew it, the song was over. Eliot went back to the tables as Kaira followed. She sat down as Hardison played another song.
"Now it's time for the father, daughter dance." Hardison announced.
Kaira looked at Nate and smiled. They got up and Kaira and Nate went to the circle. They started dancing and Kaira was smiling.
"You know, kiddo, I wasn't lucky enough to have a daughter of my own. Till you came barreling into my life." Nate smiled at Kaira. Kaira smiled back, fighting tears.
"Thank you, Nathan, for being the father I needed." Kaira said, tearing up slightly.
They finished the dance, and Hardison put the music on shuffle and everyone danced together. They had a blast the rest of the night and enjoyed the night. They sat back down altogether to continue eating and drinking. Hardison got up and went to the table beside the food where the gifts were. He grabbed his gifts and handed them to Kaira and Eliot.
"Hardison, you didn't have to get us anything." Kaira said, looking at Hardison.
"Why wouldn't I get my little sisterr and her man something on their wedding day?" Hardison questioned like she was crazy.
Kaira smiled and her and Eliot opened the gifts. In the boxes were new cell phones.
"These are your new cellphones. Not only do they have the metal detectors in them, they also have my database and live facial recognition, which should mean you don't have to send me a picture of the target that needs identifying." Hardison explained.
Kaira hugged him.
"Thank you, big bro." Kaira smiled.
Eliot smiled and hugged Hardison before sitting down again and laid the phone down. Kaira also sat down. Parker got up next and handed her gifts to Kaira and Eliot.
"Guys, you didn't have to get us anything." Kaira said, surprised.
"Of course we did." Nate smiled.
The couple opened up Parker's gifts for them. Kaira had a new lock picking set, as hers were improvised, and Eliot a set of baseball cards he wanted. Kaira and Eliot both hugged her and Sophie got her gift. The couple opened it and saw it was a bottle of red wine. They hugged Sophie and thanked her. Then Nate got up and grabbed his gift. He sat it in front of the couple and sat down. Kaira chuckled as she and Eliot opened it. They pulled out another box, which was a coffee pot. Kaira and Eliot chuckled as they pulled bags of coffee out of the box.
"You two were always using my coffee pot in the mornings, so I figured this would be satisfactory." Nate smiled as Kaira hugged him.
"Thank you, Nathan." Kaira smiled.
Nate did the same. They continued eating and drinking and then they got ready to leave. They all tore down the decorations and cleaned up and went back home.
Before they went home, Sophie took Kaira aside.
"I hate to do this to you, Kaira. Especially on your big day, but I need to tell you something." Sophie told Kaira.
"What is it, Soph?" Kaira asked Sophie.
"I'm going away for a while. I realized that for people to see who I truly am, I need to figure that out." Sophie explained to Kaira.
Kaira was shocked.
"And you and Nate are the most important people in my life, and I have never heard you say my real name." Sophie said, getting sad.
"Sophie, a name doesn't define who you are." Kaira said.
Sophie just hugged Kaira. Sophie left a bit later. Kaira and Eliot put their gifts away and sat at the breakfast nook, drinking the red wine Sophie got them.
"Today was so incredible." Kaira said, smiling.
She may have also been a bit drunk. Eliot smiled and chuckled at his wife.
"I know. This is the best day of my life." Eliot placed a kiss on Kaira's lips.
She kissed him back. She took another sip of wine and looked out the window and the Boston landscape.
"Do you think our relationship would be the same if we were normal?" Kaira asked Eliot.
"Yeah. I'd like to think so." Eliot said.
He took a sip of the wine.
"It's getting late. We should go to bed." Kaira said, going to stand up, setting her wine glass on the table.
"Good idea. As long as I can carry you to bed." Eliot said, setting down his glass and scooping up Kaira, carrying her bridal style as she screamed and laughed.
Eliot sat her on the bed and placed another kiss on her lips.
"You go ahead and get some sleep. I'll clean up and then join you." Eliot said.
"Thank you." Kaira said kinda quietly as she got cuddled in.
"For what?" Eliot asked Kaira.
"For everything. For being there for me, for being you. For showing me how a woman should be treated." Kaira said, her eyes closing shut from tiredness.
"Anytime, Princess. I'm the luckiest guy in the world to call you my wife." Eliot said.
A smile crept on Kaira's face and he placed another kiss on her forehead. He got the glasses cleaned up and went to bed, wondering how he got the most amazing woman to become his wife.
The next morning, Kaira awoke with a killer headache. She looked to see Eliot wasn't in bed. She turned to her nightstand and saw a note with a couple of aspirin and a glass of water. She looked at the note.
Kaira,
Come into the kitchen once you take the aspirin. I got a surprise for you.
Eliot
Kaira smiled and took the aspirin. She got up and walked into the kitchen, where she saw Eliot cooking breakfast.
"Morning, sweetheart." Eliot smiled at Kaira. Kaira smiled back.
"Hey, babe." Kaira said. She walked up and kissed Eliot's cheek.
"I figured I'd cook for you as now you are my wife." Eliot said, still cooking.
"Thank you, husband." Kaira giggled, causing another smile to appear on Eliot's face.
"I'm never gonna get tired of that." Eliot said as he finished cooking.
"I know." Karia smiled.
She sat down with Eliot and they ate. Then Eliot got up and told Kaira to stay put. He brought out small box and handed it to Kaira. She opened it, revealing a gold necklace with a heart pendant that said, "E & K". Kaira hugged Eliot.
"Thank you." Kaira smiled.
She had Eliot help put in on. He kissed her again. They didn't get any calls from Nate saying they needed to go in, so they just enjoyed the day as a married couple.
