Chapter Thirteen: The Wedding
The big day was finally here. The planning had gone down well and they had had some rehearsals so they were all pretty familiar with the procedure.
"Okay so the officiate stands at the altar. The groom and best man enter from a side door and stand at the altar. Bridesmaids and ushers walk in pairs. The matron of honour walks alone. The ring bearer walks alone, followed by the flower girl, or the children can walk together. The bride and her father proceed, with the bride on her father's right arm
At the altar, the bride stands on the left, the groom on the right, facing the officiate. The best man stands beside the groom, with the ring bearer and ushers to his right. The maid of honour stands beside the bride, with the flower girl and bridesmaids to her left. Everyone got that clear?" Thirteen's friend hurriedly briefed them.
"I think they've roughly got it. You talk too fast. Besides, I'm the one supposed to be nervous, not you." Teased Thirteen.
"Can we not have that candle ceremony thing? It sounds really stupid." House muttered grumpily.
"Come on House, I'm only going to get married once." Thirteen pleaded.
"But I don't want…" House trailed off.
"Fine. Let's not have it then. Doesn't make that much of a difference." She gave in.
--Three Hours Later--
Everyone was dressed up. Thirteen looked stunning in her wedding gown. Her white veil complimented her wavy long hair. House was in a smart suit looking neater than usual. Guests would be arriving soon and those involved in the wedding ceremonies had already arrived.
An usher rushed up to House and Thirteen. It was time for them to be at the door to welcome the guests. However, House didn't like the formalities and thought ushers should be able to do that job by themselves.
"Congratulations House." Said Wilson coming up behind House with a smug look.
"Oh don't gloat. Be happy you're even here. Thirteen tried so hard to make me consent to all these people here." Growled House.
"Finally the cold-hearted doctor has found someone to love. Don't worry, I won't ruin it." Wilson walked off.
--
They had started walking down the aisle. The music playing accompanied their walk. Thirteen was praying not to screw anything up and House popped a couple of Vicodin before reaching the altar. House and Thirteen stood together as they listened to the priest.
"Do you Gregory House take Remy Hadley as your wife?" read the priest.
"I do." Muttered House.
"And do you Remy Hadley take Gregory as your husband?" said the priest.
"I do." Replied Thirteen.
"Then you may now kiss the bride." Announced the priest.
House leant down to kiss Thirteen on the cheek while the guests clapped cheerfully.
