(Chapter Fifteen)

Pen and Charlotte had already checked into Boston Park Plaza where the reception was going to be held in the Grand Ballroom. They had been there since Wednesday night to over see that every detail was taken care of. Morgan and Rossi were also coming by the hotel in the mornings to attend meetings on security around both the theater and ballroom. The security presence had to be tripled given the prestigious guest list of high ranking and famous people coming into the city for the wedding. All agencies were required to have people guarding both venues with the BAU in charge of protecting the couple.

Of course with the wedding being so publicized there were also set protest arranged by some local churches but they were being kept several blocks away from the theater and plaza thankfully. Emily was really surprised at her mother wanting such a big display for her wedding but decided not to really concern herself about it anymore. The press wanted to have cameras in the theater and ballroom which she promptly refused. She did have Jennifer hand pick five journalist to cover the wedding since it was such a public event but they would provide the photo's that would be allowed to be used since many on the guest list had to remain anonymous.

Emily spent a lot of her time with Pen and Raphy who were the ones in charge of the technological aspects of the wedding. Raphy was the only one who totally knew the whole lay out of the wedding. There were surprises even for the couple that the Ambassador had Pen program in and then there was the surprise guests that Charlotte had coming to do the opening song for the couple. Then there was the videos that Emily wanted her to do without telling her about the content from JJ and Jane. Then there were the ones that Emily wanted done herself that she had Raphy working on. This drove Pen crazy... the not knowing what they were for or where they were going in frustrated her totally. Emily told Raphy where to load them in for where she wanted them in the day. She did a lot of assuming and guessing since that is all she could do. For the first time she totally got Jane. But she had to admit that watching Emily was amazing because she had everything planned even down to the lighting she wanted for everything that was happening on stage.

"You sure you weren't on Broadway in a former life?" Pen asked after listening to Emily telling the lighting people what angles and degrees of shading she wanted and at what times. She also gave them cue words or events so time tables would match that part of the ceremony. She had to use that method since she said, "the middle was just going to evolve," what ever that meant.

"I do not think so but Maura and I have experience with these things since we did plays and dances in school."

"You remember all this from over twenty years ago?" Pen said looking at the woman in awe.

"Pretty much but I have brushed up on somethings through reading."

"Brushed up hum... I'm going to have to start calling you Reid Jr."

"I'm not even in that ball park Pen. I have always enjoyed the mechanics of putting together plays and what it entails... so I read about it."

"Um hum..."

"What are you two going on about now?" Morgan asked as he approached the ladies on stage.

"Emily was telling me about how she has become Joe Mantello by just reading a few books."

"You are comparing my simple skills to the director of "Wicked..." no way... but thanks for boosting my ego with the complement." She said shaking her head and walking off.

"What has you on my stage this afternoon my manly stud muffin?" She asked while turning her full attention to Morgan.

"I'm here to see that all the beautiful ladies on this stage tomorrow will be safe." He said smiling cheekily.

"Awe... always my knight in shining armor."

"You know it." He said as he started viewing what the people on stage would see and deciding if there was a need for people in the wings just in case anything happened.

"Are you thinking something will happen during the wedding?" She asked now looking concernedly.

"We do not have any entail saying that anything is planned but with that woman..." he said pointing in the direction that Emily had walked away in, "...I've learned to just be prepared for everything."

"I hear you on that one... but it's a good sign that we haven't heard anything..." She said pausing and thinking, "... Ian is still locked up in Australia... right?"

"I would say he is since Emily seems so relaxed but I'm not for sure on it. Besides..." he paused, "... you do know... that we are waist deep in high profile folks coming up in here for this shin dig?"

"Yeah... there is that." Pen agreed and started thinking again.

"Don't worry your pretty little head about anything momma... we got this city locked up tighter than a drum."

"You better have... because this is the closest thing to a fairy tale wedding that I will probably ever get to be a part of and it needs to be perfect mister." She said and stormed off towards the engineering booth to talk to Raphy about Charlotte's surprise.

"It will be Cinderella." He yelled at her back grinning as she raised her hand in a backwards wave.

Okay I haven't posted in a few days so I thought I would throw this out and I plan on posting more within twenty four hours. Life showed up in my world and I had to put the pen down a moment... but the pen is now back in my hand again. :)
