Comment: Hello beautiful people! :) Thank you so much for all your on-going support. I'm sorry I don't update as regularly anymore. But seeing new favourites and reviews always makes me smile. I will keep posting! Here's a little wedding day goodness for you. I hope you enjoy xx

Robin and Barney meet behind the church. The grass is still wet from the shower half an hour ago, but they don't care.

"Wow," he says as she approaches him, skirt gathered up in her hands. "You look stunning."

"Yeah, yeah," she waves him off impatiently. "Do you have -?"

He pulls a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. She exhales in relief. "Thank God," she says as he lights one for her. "Don't get me wrong, but I really need this to… calm down a bit."

He winks, understanding.

And this is the story of Robin's last cigarette ever.

I know her last cigarette was technically in June 2013, but I decided to not care about canon for a second. :D Thanks for sticking with me you awesome lot!
