I Gotta Feeling: The Reception
Two big white tents had been set up in the spacious backyard. The first tent housed a long white table with appetizers on it. That tent also had many tables with white and purple table cloth with four chairs each, for guests to sit down. One table, at the end, seated Calleigh, Catherine, Lindsey and Natalia. The second tent housed a dance floor that was tiled in black and white and a stage for the DJ. The reception was more crowded than the wedding as both parties had invited friends and family to celebrate. When Catherine ran off to use the bathroom, Calleigh sat there looking at her rings. Both were white gold, her engagement ring consisted of two heart shaped stones, one was her birthstone, the other was Catherine's, both heart shaped stoned were linked with a row of diamonds. Her wedding band had been the most expensive one they had gotten. It was a simple band with a row of diamonds. Both ladies had agreed to spend an insane amount of money on their ringsā¦and they had.
"Congratulations Honey." Alexx said as she walked up to Calleigh's table. "You look radiant!" she added as she hugged her.
"Thanks for coming." Calleigh said squeezing Alexx.
"I wouldn't have missed it for the world, sweetie." Alexx added before going to her table to join the rest of the Miami crew.
"Calleigh," The blonde heard from behind her. She turned and saw Horatio.
"Hey, thanks for coming." She smiled.
"I wanted to congratulate you on your wedding," He said, "We're going to miss you in Miami." He added looking straight at her. Calleigh smiled at him and gave him a hug.
"I'll miss you, too." She said. Catherine came back.
"Hey," She said wrapping her arms around Calleigh from behind. Catherine smiled at Horatio.
"Congratulations, Ms. Willows." He said extending a hand.
"Thank you for coming, I know it means a great deal to Calleigh." Catherine smiled at Horatio. Before leaving, Horatio handed a card to Calleigh.
"This is for you." He smiled before going to join the rest of his team. Catherine and Calleigh sat down and Calleigh looked at the envelope.
"It's Eric's handwriting." She said looking at Catherine. She opened the letter and read it. The letter had only two lines: "Congratulations on your wedding. I hope you're happy." Calleigh smiled on the inside, she knew Eric still cared for her. Calleigh and Catherine watched as Grissom took the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to turn towards the dance floor as the couple takes their first dance." Grissom said inviting Calleigh and Catherine to take the dance floor.
"Is it our first dance already?" Calleigh asked. Catherine nodded. "What song did you pick?" Calleigh asked as they walked to the center of the dance floor. They had agreed that Catherine could pick the wedding song.
"A Celine Dion song, I know you like her." Catherine replied. "I listened to what seems like a thousand songs, before I got to this one, it reminded me of you." She added as 'I Want you to Need Me' started.
"Oh! I love this one." Calleigh whispered as she wrapped her arms around Catherine's neck. Catherine wrapped her arms tightly around Calleigh's waist and they dance to the song as the blonde gently whispered the lyrics to the song in Catherine's ear. Around them, camera flashes were lighting up as people took pictures. As the last lines of the song approached, Calleigh looked deep into Catherine's eyes and smiled.
"I'm happy, are you happy?" She asked.
"More than anything else in the world." Catherine replied as her lips met Calleigh's. The song ended and the rhythm changed to a more upbeat song and the guests got up to dance. Calleigh still had her arms tightly around Catherine when she felt a small tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw Nick.
"May I cut in?" He asked hesitantly.
"Of course!" Calleigh said as she stepped aside to allow Nick to dance with Catherine. But to Calleigh's surprise, Nick grabbed her by the waist and started to twirl her. Catherine turned and looked at Natalia, who laughed and started dancing with her.
"Congrats." Nick said flashing Calleigh his best smile.
"Thanks you!" She replied. Ever since she and Catherine had started "officially" being a couple, Calleigh had grown quite close to Nick.
"You know, you still owe me that dinner." He pointed out. "Even if you are married now, I'm still gonna cash in." he added.
"Oh, I believe you but can it wait until after my honeymoon?" Calleigh asked.
"Of course!" Nick smiled. Calleigh looked over her shoulder and saw that Catherine and Natalia seemed to be having a good conversation as well.
"I can't believe Calleigh's finally found love." Natalia smiled. "She's had it rough, I'm glad she has you." she added.
"I'm happy I have her! Calleigh's incredible." Catherine replied moving her hand.
"Woah!" Natalia said as she grabbed Catherine's left hand. "Look at that ring!" she added looking at Catherine's engagement ring. Like Calleigh's, Catherine's ring was white gold, there were two triangular stones, one was Catherine's, the other's was Calleigh and again, rows of diamonds connected the two.
"I know, Calleigh and I decided to go all out when getting the rings." Catherine smiled.
"Excuse me, everybody!" They heard. The crew turned and saw Lindsey standing on the stage. "Um, I thought long and hard of what I could get my mom for her wedding, but I couldn't think of anything, so mom, Calleigh, I hope this song will mean a lot to you." Lindsey added with a wide smile. Calleigh walked up to Catherine and couldn't help but laugh as 'I Drove All Night' started. Calleigh wrapped her arms around Catherine and they started dancing, remember that faithful Christmas when they were reunited. Before the end of the song, Calleigh spotted Greg on the stage. She pointed him out to Catherine.
"Oh, God! What is he doing?" Catherine whispered, a little worried. She couldn't help but smile as the Celine Dion song faded into 'I Kissed a Girl' by Katy Perry.
"Oh, God! Greg!" Catherine yelled at him over the music. He smiled at her and walked up to the couple.
"My way of saying congrats." He said.
"Then this is my way of saying thanks." Catherine said. She took Calleigh's chin in her hand and placed a big, sloppy kiss on her lips. Greg's eyes went wide and he walked away with a smile. The girls continued dancing and laughing with their friends. Calleigh was singing loudly over the music, making the guests laugh.
"It's time to throw the bouquet!" Grissom said with a smiled as the crowd listened. "Now, since this isn't a traditional wedding, we are going to ask the guys to catch the bouquet and the girls to catch the garter." He added. Nick pulled a chair and told Calleigh to sit down on it. The guys cheered as Catherine took off her blazer, seductively walked up to Calleigh and got down on her knees.
"Are you wearing underwear?" Catherine asked between her teeth. She knew Calleigh was the kind of person to pull something crazy like this.
"Let's just say, don't pull the dress up too high." Calleigh replied with a wide grin. Catherine laughed and slowly lifted Calleigh's dress. Catherine placed her head underneath Calleigh's dress, softly kissed her thigh and took the garter between her teeth. Catherine slowly pulled the garter down Calleigh's leg and took it off. The guys cheered and whooped. Catherine stood with the garter between her teeth. The girls lined up behind her and Catherine threw it over her head. The crowd laughed as Wendy caught it. Lindsey ran to Calleigh and gave her the makeshift bouquet so she could throw it. The guys lined up behind Calleigh and a few yelled comments about her ass to make her giggle. With a wink to Catherine, Calleigh threw her bouquet over her head to the guys. To everyone's surprise, Nick caught it with one hand. Watching Wendy place the garter on Nick's leg gave the entire crowd a good laugh. They spent the rest of the night partying and having a good time.
We hope you liked :D....
