Chapter 8-During
The wedding was only an hour away and Olivia and the other girls were in the back room of the church. Elliot, Fin, John and Brian were in the front room of the church. Don was standing outside trying to collect his thoughts and emotions. Then Olivia goes out to find Don.
Olivia: Hey!
Don: Hey! How are you doing?
Olivia: I am as good as I am going to get. You?
Don: I have waited for this day for the longest time. I just knew that you and Elliot would end up together someday, somehow.
Olivia: Thank you. I love you.
Don: I love you too.
They go inside and the time flies by. It is time for the wedding and Casey (Olivia's Maid-Of-Honor), Alex, and Monique were walking down the isle.
Don: Ready?
Olivia: Ready.
The wedding march begins. They reach the end of the isle and Don kisses Olivia's cheek.
Don: I love you sweetie.
Olivia: I love you dad.
Priest: We are gathered here today to witness the union of Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson. They have decided to write their own vows to each other.
Elliot: Olivia you have been my partner, my friend, my lover and now I am happy to add wife to that list. You are my world. You are my life and I love you. I will love you forever and always.
Olivia: The past few years that we have been partners I knew I loved every minute of them. You are my partner at work and now I am proud to call you my partner in life. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. Through the hard times and the good you are always there for me. I love you for all that you do, all that you did and all of the things I know that we will do together. I love you and I always will Elliot.
Priest: The rings please.
Fin brings the rings over Elliot and Olivia.
Priest: Elliot repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed.
Elliot: With this ring I thee wed.
Priest: Olivia. With this ring I thee wed.
Olivia: With this ring I thee wed.
Priest: By the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.
It was the most passionate kiss of their lives. They turn and look at the crowd of friends and family and smile.
