A/N: Sorry for the delay but my muse for this story turn a wrong turn down the aisle. Then when I did write something my computer managed to lose it.
They played a country song instead of the traditional wedding march, Sara adopting a 'when in Rome' attitude and the fact that being around Nick so much that she had actually started to like some country music so it wasn't a major problem.
Bill Stokes walked both Sara and Heather down the aisle one on each arm. When they reached the end Bill kissed each of their cheeks and took his place at the front of officiate.
"You look amazing." Nick whispered to Sara.
"You don't back yourself." Sara responded.
"We are gathered here today to unite this man and this woman." He indicated Heather and Bobby. "And this man and this woman." He indicated Sara and Nick. "In the bonds of holy matrimony which is an honourable estate which these people come to be joined. If anyone can show just and legal cause why they may not be joined, let them speak now or forever hold there peace." He paused. "Now anyone willing to give Nick and Heather away finally please raise their hands." There was an emphasis on the finally.
Nick glanced around as his whole family raised his hand.
"Dad." Heather sighed.
Sara couldn't help but chuckle.
"Good." Bill said. "Bobby, Nick will you have these women as your lawful wedded wives, to live together in the estate of matrimony? Will you love her, honour her, comfort her, and keep her in sickness and in health; forsaking all others, be true to her as long as you both shall live?"
"I will." Both men said.
"Heather, Sara, will you have this man as your lawful wedded husbands, to live together in the estate of matrimony? Will you love him, honour him, comfort him, and keep him in sickness and in health; forsaking all others, be true to him as long as you both shall live?"
"I will." Both women answered.
"As Nick and Sara have already completed there exchange of rings, well skip this part for them."
He continued with the exchanging of rings for Bobby and Heather.
"For as much as Nick and Sara and Bobby and Heather have consented together in wedlock, and have witnessed the same before this company of friends and family, and have given and pledged their promises to each other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring, and by joining hands. By the authority invested in me by the State of Texas, I pronounce you men and wives. You may kiss the brides."
Nick kissed Sara.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too."
"And you didn't start laughing." Nick was so focused on Sara that he didn't notice his family clapping and cheering around them.
"There are only so many times you can burst into hysterical laughter when you get married."

The reception was a traditional Stokes affair, lots of food and happy people.
Nick hand a hand looped around Sara's waist when his father approached.
"Nice trying to sell us off there Dad." Nick said.
"I thought it was funny." Sara stated. "And perfect."
"Thank you Sara." Bill replied. "Now tell me do you two step?"
"Of course. I'll see you later." She gave Nick a quick kiss before she went to dance with her father-in-law.
Bill spun her around the dance floor while Sara laughed having fun.
Half way through she felt a tug on the back of her dress.
"Hey Matthew." She smiled.
"You want to cut in?" Bill asked. Matthew nodded. "What do you say Sara?"
"Let's show them how it's done." Sara stated picking him up.
…
"Hey Mags." Nick came up behind her. "I think your son is trying to steal my wife."
"What?" Maggie asked.
Nick pointed her in the direction of the dance floor.
"At least he has good taste." Gibson commented.
"He went and tugged on the back of her dress to cut in." Stacey said having overheard what they were talking about.
"At least he has manners." Lara-Jo stated.
"Since Sara is occupied would one of you ladies like to dance?" Nick inquired.
Lara-Jo looked at Stacey.
"Why not?" She replied. "Just don't tread on my toes."
"Wouldn't dream of it." Nick stated.
