(About two weeks or so later)
5th July 2007 (I forgot to mention that before, but this story starts in 2007)
5th July was a special day. Especially for Ryan and Calleigh. Want to guess why?
Well, it was their wedding day.
And the gun range at MDPD was decorated with all sorts of lovey dovey things. It was less then ten minutes left before Ryan would see his beautiful bride walk down the aisle.
Ryan's uncle Thomas Wolfe was going to wed them. He had been a priest for almost twenty years.
There were many chairs set out on the range, and Thomas was standing infront of a big piece of paper wall on lane 5. There were bullet holes in the wall, in the shape of a heart.
The wedding reception would be held in Calleigh and Ryan's house. Calleigh's cousin Jeremy and his band would provide the music.
The whole lab was of course at the gun range. And all Delko's sisters with their husbands and kids. Ryan's parents, grandparents and a few very close cousins.
Calleigh's father was there, her brother and his wife, and two cousins that she stood very close to. Not Calleigh's mother though.
And of course Eric, Frank and his family, Alexx and her family, Natalia and Horatio were present.
Horatio was helping Ryan with his tie. He and Eric were the two best men. Horatio was the one taking care of the ring for Ryan. And Valera was taking care of the ring for Calleigh.
"Ryan, stop jumping around or I can't fix the tie for you." Horatio said.
"Sorry. I'm just so freaking nervous." Ryan said.
"Calm down. Everything will be alright." Horatio smiled.
"I'm so glad that I brought my camera with me." Eric grinned. He was sitting in a chair filming the very jumpy and nervous Ryan Wolfe.
"I bet you are." Ryan chuckled.
"Do you got your vowel?" Horatio asked.
Ryan nodded, "I know it in my head."
"Okay, good." Horatio smiled, "Evyrthing will be fine."
Ryan nodded and gave Horatio a friendly hug.
"I'm ready." He smiled.
A few minutes later he stood next to his uncle. Everybody were seated, except Calleigh and her bridesmaids, Eric, Horatio and Calleigh's father. Kenwall would be giving his beautiful daughter away.
There was a small piano in the range too. And a young guy started playing. Ryan took a deep breath and prayed that he wouldn't pass out, or worse, throw up.
Soon Alexx and Valera walked down the aisle. Behind them walked Calleigh and Duke.
Alexx and Valera were wearing long, light blue dresses and looked absolutely beautiful.
Calleigh was wearing a long white dress. It was strapless and Ryan looked at Calleigh's beautiful neck and shoulders.
She was also wearing a vail.
Kenwall was smiling widely. He had dreamt of this day. The day that his daughter would get married.
Kenwall gave Calleigh away and she now stood infront of Ryan.
Uncle Thomas started talking about weddings and many other things. Ryan and Calleigh didn't hear what he said. They were so focused on each other.
After a while Uncle Thomas cleared his throat.
"Ryan, it's time for your vowels." He said.
The guests snickered a bit. Ryan blushed. He took a deep breath and Horatio gave him his ring.
"I had though of so many things that I wanted to say to you." He started, "But when I saw you walk down the aisle I completely forgot all of it."
He took another deep breath.
"The best way to describe how much I love you is by speaking from my heart. Every time I see you my heart skips a few beats. I always have to pinch myself to make sure that I'm not dreaming. That I'm really looking at the most wonderful woman in the world. The only woman that can make me feel whole. The only woman that I love more than life itself. And that woman is you Calleigh. I love waking up next to you everyday. I love holding you. I love kissing you. And I can never get tired of that. There is no one else that I'd rather spend the rest of my life with than you Calleigh." Ryan smiled and put the ring on Calleigh's finger.
Calleigh shrieked and threw her arms around Ryan's neck and kissed him hard.
"We're not at that part yet." Thomas chuckled.
Calleigh blushed and parted form Ryan.
"Sorry." She said. The guests were all chuckling. Alexx and a few other women were crying. It also looked as if Frank was holding back some tears.
"Calleigh, it's your turn now." Thomas smiled. Valera gave her the ring.
"Ryan, you are the love of my life. When I see you my heart rate goes up fast, and nothing or no one has ever been able to do that to me. Not even my gun vault." She smiled.
"I love everything about you. And being held and kissed by you is something I wouldn't trade for anything in the entire world. I love you so much that it hurts. But it hurts in a good way. Before I met you my life was so boring and dull. I never though I'd find love. And then there you were, a newbie. I knew that there was something special about you from the very beginning. And I was right. I can't wait to call myself Mrs Wolfe." Calleigh smiled and put the ring on Ryan's finger.
"Calleigh Duquesne, do you take Ryan Wolfe to be your lawfully wedded husband from this day forward. For better or worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?" Thomas asked.
"Yes, I do." Calleigh smiled.
"And Ryan Wolfe, do you take Calleigh Duquesne to be your lawfully wedded wife from this day forward. For better or worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?" Thomas asked.
"I do." Ryan smiled.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife."
Ryan smiled and pulled Calleigh into his arms and kissed her.
The guests clapped their hands and cheered. Calleigh and Ryan parted.
"Thank you so much." Ryan smiled.
-I-
About an hour later the party was going on in the Wolfe household.
The cake was now being brought in. Calleigh and Ryan laughed when they saw it. The cake was decorated with small black circles, bullets. And red worm-like things, fibers. On top of the cake stood a small couple. The female doll had a white dress on her and was holding a gun in one hand. The male doll was wearing a tuxedo and holding a tweezer in one hand.
"Wow!" Calleigh smiled, "Nice job!"
"What is it, bullets, fibers?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah, and in the middle of the cake we put a chocolate gun." Natalia said.
"Wow, that's awesome!" Callleigh smiled.
"Let's cut the cake." Ryan smiled.
He and Calleigh cut the cake, and then everybody else took a piece too.
Once everybody were seated, Horatio stood up to hold a small speech.
"Calleigh and Ryan. You certinaly made alot of us here jelous today. To have such strong love for each other as you do is something we all want. I know that you two will be very happy together in the many years you have before you. And I wish you a happy marriage and all the luck in the world." Horatio smiled.
Ryan and Calleigh gave him a hug.
Throughout the evening a few more people held speeches.
Calleigh and Ryan danced to the song, You are the sunshine in my life by Stevie Wonder.

Around nine in the evening Kenwall and Calleigh took a small walk outside the house.
"Are you happy for me dad?" Calleigh asked.
"I sure am." Kenwall smiled, "I know I haven't always been the best father."
"Dad."
"No wait, hear me out." Kenwall said, "I know that I have let you down many times and that I should have been a better father. But I just want you to know that I love you very much. And I am proud of giving my daughter away to such a strong and caring man. I don't know what the future might bring Calleigh, but I will try to be there for you as much as I possibly can. I wouldn't have missed this day for anything in the world." Kenwall smiled.
Calleigh gave her father a huge smile and hugged him.
"I love you daddy."
"I love you too sweetheart."
"Dad, I wouldn't ask for a better father than you." Calleigh said, "I may not like the fact that you're drinking, but I love you. And that you haven't even touched the wine glasses tonight is something that I appreciate very very much."
Kenwall smiled, "I wouldn't want to ruin this day for you."
Calleigh smiled and gave her father a kiss on the cheek.

"So I guess that our war will have a temporary stop while you're on your honeymoon." Frank said.
"Yeah, but when I get back I'll kick you ass." Ryan grinned.
"You wish Ryan, you wish." Frank chuckled, "Well, Ryan now that you're married. You're captured now."
"Captured?"
"Yeah, stuck in the marriage. No more fun for you." Frank grinned.
"Frank stop scaring my baby." Alexx said and slapped Frank, "Ryan don't listen to him."
"I'm not." Ryan smiled, "This is the happiest day of my life."
"Yeah, you say that now, ouch Alexx... but you won't say it after ten years." Frank said.
Ryan chuckled. He saw Calleigh coming back inside with her father. They were both smiling, that was a good sign.
Though he knew that Calleigh was a little bit sad too. She had wanted her mother to be there, but her mother had never even answered the invitation.
"Are you okay Calleigh?" He asked her.
"I'm more than okay Ryan." She smiled and gave hima soft kiss.
-I-
Eric knocked on the door. It was only seven thirty, but Ryan and Calleigh's flight to Hawaii would leave in two hours.
"Hello! Guys, you need to wake up!" Eric shouted.
He heard someone run towads the door and soon a sleepy Ryan opened it.
"What time is it?" He asked.
"Seven thirty." Eric said and walked inside.
"What are you doing here at seven thirty?" Ryan asked and yawned.
"You're flight leaves in two hours. And the way I see it now it will take at least thirty minutes before we can leave your house." Eric said, "Don't stand there Ryan, get dressed and wake Calleigh up."
Ryan nodded and disappeared inside the bedroom.
Soon Calleigh was running around i the house, getting dressed, freshing up in the bahtroom and on the same time trying to pack down some things for the honeymmon.
Ryan did the same thing, only much more calmer. Eric sat in the living room, just watching. He would have helped but Calleigh seemed to have control of everything herself.
"Ryan hurry up!" She shouted sometimes.
Ryan just yawned and dragged his feet towards the bathroom to freshen up.
--
Forty-five minutes later they were all in Eric's hummer on their way to the aiport.
"How late did you stay up last night?" Eric asked, "All the guests left at eleven."
"We got to bed around 2am." Ryan yawned.
"Okay, so you were just playing for three hours." Eric smirked.
Calleigh slapped him.
"Are we there yet?" Calleigh asked.
"No, Calleigh, you know that it takes thirty minuutes to get there from your house." Eric said.
"That's without the sirens on." Calleigh said, "Turn them on."
"Is this an emergency?" Eric asked.
"Yes, Eric." Calleigh said.
Eric chuckled and turned the sirens on.
There wasn't alot of traffic on the streets, and only fifteen minutes later they arrived at the aiport.
Calleigh and Ryan checked in and then just waited outside their gate. Eric waited with them.
"I can't believe that you two will be enjoying two weeks in Hawaii, while the rest of us have to work our butts off with new crimes." Eric grinned.
"Get married and you'll have a honeymoon to enjoy too." Ryan said.
"I will one day." Eric smiled.
"I've never been to a gay wedding before." Calleigh said.
"Well, the day that H and I get married, you will." Eric said.
"Why don't you ask him?" Ryan asked.
"Nah, I want him to do it." Eric said.
A speaker voice told everybody that it was time to get on the plane to Hawaii.
"Okay, that's us." Calleigh smiled.
"See you when you get back." Eric smiled and gave them both a hug, "Take good care of each other."
"We will, bye." Ryan said.
-I-
The next day Horatio, Eric and Nat arrived at a crime scene in a small alley.
"Hey." Frank greeted them, "We know this victim."
"Really, who is it?" Eric asked.
"Derek Alperton." Frank said, "The guy who was supossed to witness against Raquel in two weeks."
