WEDDING DAY
Kat and Amanda stayed in the apartment. While Olivia stayed with Melinda. They decided to have the wedding in the same banquet hall as Amanda's graduation party and have the party right after. They picked out matching wedding gowns and of course the bridal party was wearing blue. The guys had blue tuxedos and the girls blue dresses. Kat and Amanda headed to the banquet hall first so they wouldn't run into Melinda and Olivia. "Kat I can't believe I'm doing this." Amanda said slipping on her blue Jordan's under her dress. Kat folded her arms, "Hey don't look at me like that I'm ready. How do you like the sneakers? I told you that you wouldn't be able to tell." Fin poked his head in "Baby girl it's time." Fin had double duty at the wedding. He would need to walk Amanda down the aisle, leave her and go grab Melinda. Amanda wanted to be the one waiting for Liv.
The music played and Fin walked Amanda down the aisle. "Baby girl you look beautiful. I'll be back with my girl." Amanda noticed when they were planning the wedding that Fin and Melinda were close, a little too close. She was dropping off pictures of dresses for Melinda and she found her Fin going at it. She promised not to say anything and let them tell it. As the music continued Mike and Kat walked down the aisle and stood beside Amanda. The wedding crowd was small, but Amanda knew everyone there. She saw Munch, Alex, Casey, and a few people from the precinct and Melinda's job. Dr. Hendrix and Dr. Hanover were in attendance. Sergeant Beck even gave Amanda a wink.
Fin and Melinda came down the aisle next. They looked so cute together. Amanda was happy they found each other. Nick and Maria were in the crowd and they took pictures as Zara dropped flowers for Olivia's walk. Kat leaned forward "No turning back now kid." The doors opened and Amanda smiled when she saw Olivia step in with Captain Cragen on her arm. They both locked eyes and never stopped smiling while the music played and they met to hold hands. Cragen handed Liv off to Amanda. "Congratulations, you two."
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the presence of family and friends to join these two together.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
They now have something to say to each other before the vows. Please join hands.
"Amanda fate brought you in my life. I'm so glad that I walked into that coffee shop that morning and met you. You were so cute, confident, and cocky that's what I fell in love with. Amanda you beat the odds and when life pushed you down you got right back up. You are smart, caring, and I know you will make a great partner in my life. You're a phoenix Amanda. You went on a journey through fire and came out on top and I love you to life Amanda Rollins."
"I, Olivia Benson take you, Amanda Rollins for my wedded wife , To love and cherish, For better or worse, for richer or poorer, In sickness and in health. From this day forward."
"Olivia you saved my life. I didn't think anyone could love me and I didn't think I needed anyone to love me. Liv you proved me wrong. I was looking for love my whole life and until I met you I didn't think it was possible. You taught me how to love and trust people again. Because of you I'm not finding love anymore. Liv I've found love. I love you Olivia Benson."
"I, Amanda Rollins take you, Olivia Benson for my wedded wife, To love and cherish, For better or worse, for richer or poorer, In sickness and in health. From this day forward."
Melinda handed Olivia Amanda's ring.
"Amanda, this ring is my sacred gift to you, A symbol of my Love, A sign that from this day forward and always, My Love will surround you, With this ring I thee wed."
Kat handed Amanda Olivia's ring.
"Olivia, this ring is my sacred gift to you, A symbol of my Love, A sign that from this day forward and always, My Love will surround you, With this ring I thee wed."
The minister said "Now you may seal your vows with a kiss."
Amanda and Olivia gave each other a passionate kiss.
"Allow me to present Olivia and Amanda Benson."
Cheers erupted and of course Amanda spoke, "Alright! Who's ready to party!"
Amanda planned the first dance she wanted a mix from her favorite country song and R song.
Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not
Song by Thompson Square
We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof
Talkin' 'bout everything under the moon
With the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume
All I could think about was my next move
Oh, but you were so shy, so was I
Maybe that's why it was so hard to believe
When you smiled and said to me
"Are you gonna kiss me or not?
Are we gonna do this or what?
I think you know I like you a lot
But you're 'bout to miss your shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not?"
It was the best dang kiss that I ever had
Except for that long one after that
And I knew if I wanted this thing to last
Sooner or later I'd have to ask for your hand
So I took a chance
Bought a wedding band and I got down on one knee
And you smiled and said to me
"Are you gonna kiss me or not?
Are we gonna do this or what?
I think you know I love you a lot
I think we've got a real good shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not?"
So, we planned it all out for the middle of June
From the wedding cake to the honeymoon
And your momma cried
When you walked down the aisle
When the preacher man said, "Say I do"
I did and you did too, then I lifted that veil
And saw your pretty smile and I said
"Are you gonna kiss me or not?
Are we gonna do this or what?
Look at all the love that we got
It ain't never gonna stop
Are you gonna kiss me or not?"
Yeah baby, I love you a lot
I really think we've got a shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not?
Liv and Amanda kissed in the middle of the dance floor and The DJ started spinning the track
Amanda started dancing close, really close and grinding Liv. "You're definitely my wildcard."
Adorn
Song by Miguel
She's art dealer chic
Would you be my friend, my freak?
She's (yeah) art dealer chic
Would you be my friend, my freak?
These lips can't wait to taste your skin, baby, no, no
And these eyes, yeah, can't wait to see your grin, ooh, ooh, baby
Just let my love
Just let my love adorn you
Please baby, yeah
You gotta know
You gotta know
You know that I adore you
Yeah, baby
Baby, these fists will always protect ya, lady
And this mind, ooh, will never neglect you, yeah, baby, ooh
And they stay trying to break us down
But don't let that affect us, no, baby
You just gotta let my love
Let my love
Let my love adorn you
Ah, le-le-le-let it dress you down
You gotta know, you gotta know
Know that I adore you
Just that, baby
Oh, let my love adorn you, baby
Don't you ever, don't you let nobody tell you different, baby
I'll always adore you, you gotta know now
You gotta know na-nah-now, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh yeah
The same way that the stars adorn the skies, yeah
(Every night babe)
Now look up sugar (Every night babe)
Now hey hey hey
The same way that my whole world's in your eyes (when I look in your eyes babe)
Oooh and it's time now (It's time babe)
[Chorus 3]
Just let, let my love (do you baby!)
Hey, le-le-le-let it dress you down
You got to know baby, oh you got to know
That I adorn you, yeah
Oh love ain't never looked so good on ya
[Outro]
Oh, put it on, baby
Let my love adorn... You
The newlywed couple sat in front of everyone. They had a great time eating, dancing, talking, and laughing with everyone. Their friends offered well wishes and toast to a beautiful life. Olivia turned to Amanda, "You look really happy baby." Amanda kissed her wife on the lips, "I am for the first time in my life."
