CH 39

The pub was full of both navy and SAS personal and they notice some other people that look like they might be Mike's family. Getting themselves a drink, they walk over to join the group.

"Jim, June, I see you both made it," Mike said.

"Yes, and I see that everyone's here. So what were you all laughing about when we arrived?" Jim asked as he sat down with MacGyver sitting on his lap.

"I was telling everyone about what Mike did when he was twelve," his mother said smiling.

" To impress a girl he liked?" MacGyver said.

"Yes," they all said in unison.

"Please, do tell," she said smiling. Mike's mum told the story causing everyone to laugh.

Then other family members shared a story about what Mike was like while growing up.

An hour later the women left the men alone. Nav and MacGyver set it up and they had the women go around to Kate's where they gave Kate a hens night party with plenty of drinks, food, games and gifts. The four bridesmaids put their money together and got Kate a white see-through nightgown for her wedding night and two sets of bikinis and wraps.

Then everyone gave her a gift, some were funny including an apron where it saws 'Kiss the Sexy Chef' and 'Kiss the Naked Chef'. Kate showed them off and everyone laughed.

"Kate, if you did do that, make sure you turn the stove off when he walks into the kitchen," MacGyver said.

"Why?" Everyone was laughing.

" 'Cause he will have only one thing on his mind and its, not food," Nav said.

"Oh, good point!"

With the men, the ones who are married give Mike pointers on how to keep Kate happy, some of which make everyone laugh.

"Jim, have you got any advice for Mike?" Charge asked.

"Don't go to bed angry, and apologise to her if you did something wrong and make it up to her with flowers, chocolates… milk not dark." More laughter.

"And... if she does forgive you the best part is makeup sex," they all agree.

"Has that happen to you and MacGyver?"

"Yes, but at least we talk about it and not shut each other out."

"That's all true," Mike's father said.

"Sir, you know what is called for..." Charge says making Mike smile.

"Guava Mojo!" Mike said, Hammersley's, crew cheered as Mike laughed.

"Yep! So who wants to help me with the drinks?"

"I will," ET said.

The guys talk about other buck's nights that they have been to.

Half an hour later everyone heard ET call out, "Hey there's a woman at this bucks party!"

Then he steps aside and the guys all laugh when they see Spider dressed up as Kate strutting towards Mike saying... "You have been a very naughty, naughty boy Commander Flynn. You should be punished."

Then he pulled out two toothbrushes from between his balloon breasts and passed them to Mike making the guys laugh at what Spider's performance. The bar owner was watching the show and laughing and shaking his head when he saw what was happening.

It was late by the time Jim crawled into bed and snuggled up to MacGyver's back.

"How did the Buck's party go?" she asked and she rolled over to kiss him.

"Very entertaining."

"What happened?"

"Spider dressed up as Kate telling Mike that he had been a naughty boy and then handed him two toothbrushes," she laughs.

"Oh my gosh, if Kate was there, I don't think she would be happy about that."

"No, she probably wouldn't, but the guys sure enjoyed themselves. They gave Mike tips on how to keep Kate happy and also shared about happen at some buck parties they been to."

"How about you, did you share any Buck's party stories?"

"A couple. So how was your night?"

"Very interesting evening, we had food, drinks, games and of course gifts for Kate and sharing stories about other hen parties that the others went to."

"Ok, did you enjoy yourself?"

"Yes I did"

He gives her a kiss, "I'm pleased that you enjoyed yourself."

"Thanks, at least we didn't go to any night clubs."

"Same with the guys."

"Let's get some sleep, we both have work in the morning."

They kissed once more before she snuggled down against Jim falling asleep.

The next day Jim showed up to work finding some of the men a bit hungover. MacGyver showed up on Hammersley for morning shift with one of the hungover crew members.

The following day was full-on since it was also the wedding day for Mike and Kate. MacGyver went around to Kate place with her dress and accessories as she and the bridesmaids are meeting there before heading off into town for breakfast and a spa treatment. They talked about the Hens and Bucks night.

"June, did Jim tell you what happened at Mike Bucks night?" Nav asked.

"Yeah, did Buffer?"

"No, he wouldn't tell me anything."

"The guys were giving Mike tips on how to please Kate."

"What? Your joking!" Kate exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, and also some advice on what to do if you ever argue."

"You're kidding! " Nav said

"Nope and the entertainment... well it wasn't your normal entertainment."

"What happened?" one of them asked.

"Spider dressed up as Kate wearing the old overalls. Full dress up, I'm talking about a wig, bra,... everything and then telling Mike that he is a very naughty boy and should be punished."

"What did Mike say?" Kate asked.

"He was laughing like the rest of them once he got over the shock, especially when Spider handed him two toothbrushes from his cleavage," they all laughed at this.

"Well Spider is right about Mike being a naughty boy. Kate, remember the Feds and Gallager?"

"Yes I do, but still..."

"Kate, it was harmless fun. After all, Mike is marrying you, not Spider and you are much better looking than Spider is," they laugh.

"Ok, that's true," then Kate's phone rings.

"It's Mike," she announces and then she answered it.

"Morning Mike."

"Hey! How are you feeling this morning?"

"Happy and excited, you?"

"Same, the guys and I are heading to the golf course to play a round."

"Mike Flynn! You naughty, naughty boy!" MacGyver said since Kate put the call on speakerphone making everyone laugh.

"MacGyver! Kate! Have you got this on speakerphone?"

"Yes, I do."

"Great... MacGyver, why did you say that I was naughty?"

" 'Cause of what you said, that you were going to 'play around', on your wedding day." Kate caught onto what MacGyver was saying and laughed.

"She's right Mike."

"Very funny, it's golf. So, Jim told you."

"Everything, but look at it this way Mike, Kate is much better looking than Spider is." They were all laughing.

"I couldn't believe what he did"

"It could have been worse," Nav said

"How can it be worse," Kate said.

"Having all the Hammersley men dressing up as you, Kate"

"That would be a nightmare," Mike said laughing.

"Yeah," MacGyver said.

"I'll let you play your golf while us ladies relax in a mud bath."

"Ok, enjoy yourselves."

"We will... love you," Kate said and then Macgyver started making kissing noises then the others joined in making them all laugh.

"Love you too, Kate," then they hung up.

"Ain't love grand," MacGyver said.

"So true," Nav said.

After the spa, they all had their hair and makeup done and then they left to go to the hotel with their dresses. When they arrived they were shown to the honeymoon suite. Kate ordered a bottle of champagne and some food for their lunch then they relaxed until their lunch arrived. After they have eaten they got changed into their dresses and then the bouquets of roses arrived.

Mike and his groomsman played their round of golf and then at lunch in the clubhouse at the golf course. Following lunch, they went to get hair cuts. Then they all went around to Mike's place where they took turns in having a shower and shave in one of two bathrooms. When they all were ready they all left in their cars and drove to the Cairns Colonial Club Resort where the wedding and reception are being held.

Arriving they noticed that some of the guests have already arrived. So they walk over to them say a quick 'hello' and then walk down to where the wedding is being held. When it was time, the bridal party left the hotel room and went down to where everyone is waiting for them.

Everyone in their places, the music starts and the bridesmaids walk down the aisle first one by one. Jim smiled when he saw MacGyver walk down the aisle, she smiled back at him. When all four bridesmaids were upfront, Kate started to walk down the aisle.

Mike smiled at her as she walked towards him until she was standing in front of him and holding onto his hand. Everyone watched and listened to Mike and Kate exchange their wedding vows and rings. Then watch them kiss as Mike dips her which had everyone laughing. Then they straighten up and break the kiss.

"I'm pleased to introduce to you Mr and Mrs Mike and Kate Flynn," the minister said. Every one clapped.

They walk down the aisle arm in arm until they reach six of their officer friends at the end of the aisle creating a sword arch then they and bridal party walk under it and then there was a shout, "Go Navy!"

Once the bridal party had walked under the arch it was broken, everyone got up and mingled and offered congratulations to the happy couple.

Jim walked over to MacGyver, "Wow you look amazing in that dress, June."

"Thanks, Jim. I'm pleased Mike and Kate invited some of the others from the Army so you wouldn't look the odd one out," with Jim being in his uniform.

"That was good of them."

"Mike's worked with the Army and SAS before you know."

"I do."

"MacGyver!" Charge calls over to her.

"Yes, Charge?"

"Why don't I take a photo of the two of you with your phones."

"Thanks, that's so nice of you," Jim said.

He got the two phones from his pocket and passed one to MacGyver so she could get it set up then she passed it back to Charge, and Jim did the same. Charge took photos of Jim and MacGyver together then passed their phones back to them.

"Thanks, Charge," June says.

"Thanks Mate."

They mingled for ten minutes or so then she had to join the bridal party for photos.

Mike and Kate had one taken of Jim and June together. Once the photos were done, everyone was still mingling when waiters walked out with drinks and trays of hors d'oeuvres.

Each of the crew members went to their cars and got a change of clothes so that they could change out of their uniforms, and then they returned to the party.

Kate and her bridesmaids returned to the honeymoon suite where they all got changed into the same dress but it was knee-length and Kate changed into a knee-length white dress. After they changed they put the dresses in their cars.

When MacGyver was ready to go to her car she waited for Jim and she didn't have to wait long. Once their bags were in the car and it was locked, Jim pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

"If you look amazing now, I can't wait until our wedding day."

They kissed once more before walking back to where the others were.

Soon it was time to go inside for the evening meal. Everyone was enjoying themselves, laughing, and joking while enjoying their dinner.

When it came to the speeches there was laughter at the different speeches that the crew shared with everyone.

Then it was time to remove the garter and the tossing of the bouquet.

Jim turns to MacGyver, "If I get the garter and you get the bouquet we tell them since they haven't noticed the ring"

"Perfect!"

When Mike flicked the garter, Buffer was the one who caught it. Kate then tossed the bouquet and Nav caught it.

"Looks like you and Buffer are next Nav," Spider said laughing.

"Very funny Spider," Nav replied.

It was time for Mike and Kate to cut their four-tier wedding cake. They fed each other a small piece, and then they went to the dance floor for their first dance. After a minute Buffer and Nav joined in.

"Shall we dance?" Jim asked June.

"I'd love to." They walk onto the dance floor and they dance close as they sway to the slow romantic song. Dancing with their arms around each other, they look into each other's eyes, smiling and kissing.

The wedding was beautiful and everyone had a nice time.

Jim and MacGyver left just after midnight for home, it has been a long day for them. After they arrived home, MacGyver went to have a quick shower to wash her hair because of the amount of moose and hairspray that was in it. Then she joined Jim in bed where they snuggled in each other's arms and fell asleep.

Later that morning they had brunch in town and walked along in the park with their arms around each other enjoying the warm sunny day. "Any idea where Mike and Kate are going for their honeymoon?" Jim asked.

"Tahiti for two weeks"

"Good for them, so is there someone taking over Kate for one patrol is it?"

"Yep, three-week patrol coming up."

"When would you like to get married?"

"I don't know, the crew hadn't been observant yesterday."

"I noticed, but when would you like to tell them?"

"Let's see what happens over the next month and take it from there."

"I can handle that," then he kissed her.

The next day while Jim was at work, MacGyver had duty watch with Spider. They chat about different things as well check the ship over every hour before returning to the bridge.
