I really appreciate everyone who has stuck around after the long hiatus that I took on this story. Also, shout out to all of the new readers that came once I started writing again. You all have been amazing. I'm going to post a one-shot about Shamy's wedding night sometime soon. I make no promises that it will be any good.

Here's the last chapter. Holy cow!

It was the day that Amy had dreamed about for most of her adult life. She had barely slept because her nerves were starting to get the best of her. In just a few hours, she would be able to call herself Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler-Cooper. Her stomach filled with butterflies at the thought.

Penny couldn't sleep much either, so her and Amy spent most of the night watching romantic comedies and talking about what married life would be like while the other girls slept. Amy could not have asked for a better night.

As the sun began to shine through the windows of their hotel suite, Bernadette, Kelly, and Penny's cousin, Lisa, began to wake up. They had an early hair appointment, so the girls quickly got ready before heading to the salon for their wedding makeovers. Penny opted for a lovely up-do while Amy had decided to leave her hair down with just a touch of curls. While the other girls were getting their hair done, Amy and Penny sat and talked about the day ahead of them.

"Can you believe that today is actually the day?!" Penny shrieked.

"It all feels like a dream, to be honest," Amy replied.

"I have to say Ames, I'm really glad that we are doing this together. I don't know if I would have made it this far without you," Penny beamed. Amy felt a smile creep across her face.

"I'm really glad we are doing this, too. I've always felt like you guys were like family and I guess today will kind of solidify that," Amy said with tears beginning to fill her eyes.

"Stop, you're going to make me cry. I love you, Ames," Penny said as she hugged Amy.

Once everyone had their hair and make-up done, the girls made their way back to their suite to finish getting ready. It was still early in the day and they did not have to be downstairs in the courtyard for a few more hours. They decided that this would be a great time to drink some wine and watch a movie or two before they had to get dressed.

It was only a half hour later when they heard a knock on the door. Penny and Amy jumped up and hid in a corner just out of view of whoever was at the door. They didn't want to take a chance of Sheldon or Leonard seeing them before the wedding. Bernadette answered the door and found Raj standing on the other side.

"Leonard and Sheldon sent me to deliver these," Raj said as he handed Bernadette two envelopes addressed to Penny and Amy.

"Oh, I totally forgot that we were doing that," Penny answered once her and Amy we out of their hiding spot. "Here are our letters to the boys." Penny handed over two envelopes addressed to Sheldon and Leonard.

"Thanks. And, might I say that you both look stunning. Leonard and Sheldon won't know what hit them," Raj gushed.

"What about me?" Kelly pouted as she made her way to the door.

"Absolutely beautiful," Raj answered lovingly. He gave her a quick kiss before telling them that he had to go back.

Amy was the first to open her letter from Sheldon and she couldn't fight the tears of joy that swelled in her eyes. She didn't know that Sheldon was capable of such touching and loving words.

My dearest Amy,

I think that it goes without saying that no one thought that this day would come. I have always been a man of science and for most of my life, that was fine. I was perfectly content on my own, dedicating all of my time and energy to my work. But, then I met you and suddenly, everything was different. I found myself wanting to spend all of my time with you. I wanted a life with you, even if that meant giving up my old one. I have changed in ways that I will never understand and it's because of you. You're a vixen, Amy Farrah Fowler, and I'm a better man for it.

All my love,

Sheldon

Amy felt butterflies in her stomach again as her heart began to flutter. She never knew that she could love someone so much until this exact moment. She wasn't sure what the future was going to hold, but she knew that as long as she had Sheldon by her side, they would face the unknown together.

Penny shared her letter with the rest of the girls and it was as touching as Sheldon's. Penny felt tear begin to form in her eyes as she read aloud every sweet word that Leonard wrote.

Penny,

I love you. I knew it the first time I saw you. I knew it when I asked you to have lunch with Sheldon and me. I knew it the first time we kissed. Even when we were apart, I never stopped loving you and now I get to love you the rest of my life. You'll never know how happy that makes me. I'm the luckiest man in the world and there will never be a day where I don't remind myself of that. I'm so excited to spend forever with you.

Love,

Leonard

The girls cried and hugged and laughed. They reminisced about when they all first met and talked about what the days to come. Amy was right, they were like a family and none of them would have it any other way.

Back at the boys' suite, things were in full gear. They were all showering and having a few drinks to calm their nerves. They talked about comics and Howard gave Leonard and Sheldon advice on married life. Raj and Stuart talked about how they hoped that they could one day get married and be surrounded by all of their friends like Leonard and Sheldon.

"Oh, and I have you letters right here from the girls," Raj said as he reached into his inner jacket pocket and the envelopes to them.

"Looks like we need some ice. I'm going to run to the lobby," Howard said as he reached for the ice bucket.

"Oh, I'll go with you," Raj said as he started to follow Howard.

"I'll tag along, too," Stuart added as he hurried along behind them.

Sheldon opened his letter from Amy. He remembered how he laughed off the idea of writing letter to each other before the ceremony, but he reluctantly agreed to it once he saw how much it meant to Amy. He just wanted her to have everything that she wanted. He was not disappointed by the decision to cave.

Sheldon,

I know that you didn't want to write letters to each other, but I'm glad that you came around to the idea. You mean so much to me and I love you. You are my other half and I'm overcome with joy when I think of how we will spend our lives together. You are the best thing that has ever happened in my life and I don't know what I would do without you. I can't wait to be your wife.

Love always,

Amy.

Sheldon's heart began to warm as he read the word that his little vixen wrote. If someone had told Sheldon years ago that he would be getting married, he would have laughed at the idea. Then, he met Amy and everything he thought was turned upside down. She came into his life like a whirlwind. He had no intention of falling in love with her. Yet, here he was, on his wedding day, and he didn't know how he ever lived without Amy. She was his rock, his everything, and now, she would be his wife.

While Sheldon read his letter, Leonard read his. He smiled at what Penny had written. It was a short letter, but he knew that it meant so much coming from her. It was the perfect letter in his eyes.

Leonard,

I love you. I always have and I always will. You're the best part of my life and today. I'm the happiest when I'm with you and nothing will change that.

See you at the altar,

Penny

"Leonard, can I ask you something?" Sheldon interrupted Leonard's thoughts.

"Sure, Sheldon. What's up?" Leonard asked as he shifted in his seat to face Sheldon.

"I know that social protocol calls for the newly wed couple to consummate their relationship on their wedding night. I realize that this is something that Amy will be expecting tonight once we are back in our hotel room. But, what if things don't pan out that way? What if my nerves get the best of me and I can't give Amy what she desires?" Sheldon asked, clearly uncomfortable with the topic.

"Sheldon, you don't have to if you don't want to. I've heard that a lot of couples wait since they are usually exhausted from the reception. It's going to be a long day for all of us, especially since we are having two weddings in one day. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Amy has the patience of a saint. I think she would understand," Leonard comforted his friend.

"I suppose you're right. I just want everything to be perfect for her. Lord knows that she deserves it after putting up with me for all of these years," Sheldon said, more to reassure himself. "Leonard, I'm glad we are doing this together. I've always felt like you were a pseudo-brother and I can't imagine not not having you by my side in one aspect or another."

Leonard couldn't help but smile. He knew that Sheldon didn't share his feelings very often so it was always a special occasion when he did. Once Howard, Raj, and Stuart returned, they all finished getting ready. They all looked very dashing in their suits.

The girl had decided that the color scheme of the wedding would be black and off-white with hints of pink and green to represent the two couples. Leonard and Penny were assigned blossom pink while Sheldon and Amy had a subtle leaf green. The grooms wore ties and vest in their assigned colors while the groomsmen alternated between the two colors.

"Alright, who's ready to get hitched?" Howard said excitedly.

The boys began to make their way downstairs. The weight of what was happening began to hit Sheldon and he was getting more nervous by the second. It wasn't that he didn't want to marry Amy, it was just a big change in his life, albeit a good change. He could not wait to meet Amy at the end of the aisle, he just felt like he would throw up before he got there.

Once everyone was downstairs, the guest began to file into the courtyard. Sheldon peaked outside and saw that the girls had decorated it much in the same fashion as they had for Howard and Bernadette's wedding. There were small, twinkling white lights around the reception area and fabric in their wedding color draped all over the place. Sheldon's chest began to tighten at the sight, it was all becoming real to him.

"Faithfully" by Journey began to play softly and the guys took that as their cue to make their way to the altar. Sheldon had no doubt that Penny had picked the song. If it were up to Amy, they would be walking to a song by Neil Diamond. He was her favorite singer, after all. He smiled to himself, but it was short-lived when he began to feel his heart pounding. His nerves were really beginning to kick in.

Not long after the boys made their way to the altar, the familiar chords of Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed" began to play, only it had been slowed down and the singer was female. Sheldon recognized the singer as Jem. He had heard it one night across while Penny played it during a girls' night. It was lovely song and it was fitting for the setting that they were in.

Once all the bridesmaids and such were at the altar and the guests stood up. Sheldon's knees began to go weak as he looked at his friends. Leonard looked just as nervous as Sheldon. This was now or never for the both of them.

The song changed to the traditional wedding march music as the two brides began to make their way down the aisle. First was Penny, escorted by her father. Leonard's breath was taken away as he watched her glide down in the aisle towards him. Her dress was a beautiful ivory mermaid cut with a lace bateau neckline. Leonard nearly forgot what was going on around him once she made it to the altar and smiled lovingly at him.

The realization hit Sheldon like a ton of bricks that he had not seen his mother since she arrived at the hotel. He hadn't noticed that she wasn't seated with the rest of the family at the beginning of the ceremony. Concern began to wash over him and just as he was about to excuse himself to go look for her, he looked up to the most beautiful sight he had ever seen.

Amy, with Mrs. Cooper escorting her with a proud look on her face, came walking down the aisle. Sheldon didn't think should could have been anymore stunning. Amy's snow-white A-line dress hugged her in all the right places. The vintage lace ¾ sleeves suited Amy's conservative personality perfectly. The curls in her hair fell down her back and Sheldon could have sworn that she was a goddess in that moment.

Sheldon's mouth slight hung open as Amy and Mary finished their walk to the altar. He could not believe the sight in front of him. His mother beamed as she caught the look that he son was giving his bride and she could not have been happier.

"Mom, I don't understand," Sheldon whispered.

"Well, Shelly, you didn't think that I was going to let dear Amy here walk down the aisle by herself, now did you?" Mary whispered back as she winked at him. "She told me that her father passed away when she was young and that her mother wasn't able to make it to the wedding, so I stepped in."

"Thank you," Amy whispered to Mary with a grateful smile on her face.

The rest of the ceremony was a blur to Sheldon and Amy. They vaguely remembered saying "I do" and exchanging rings. The next thing they knew, they were at the reception and everyone was around them, congratulating them and wishing them a happy life.

"I'm glad we opted for the traditional vows. I'm not sure I would have remembered them if I had to write my own," Sheldon told Amy.

"But, you have an eidetic memory…" Amy replied.

"Which does very little good when one is so nervous that they can barely remember to breath," Sheldon retorted.

"You were nervous?" Amy giggled.

"Of course I was. This is a very big moment in my life. I didn't want to mess it up," Sheldon said sheepishly.

"Truth be told, I was nervous, too," Amy replied.

"I fear that my nervousness may only be just beginning," Sheldon mumbled.

"Why would say tha… oh. If I may be honest, I'm quite nervous myself," Amy said as her cheeks turns a light shade of red. "Sheldon, we don't have to do anything tonight if you don't want to. Today was a big day for both of us. Sleeping actually sounds like a really great idea right about now," Amy added with a smile.

"I suppose. Why don't we concentrate on making it through this reception. Once we are back upstairs in our room, we can go from there. I see no reason we should have to make such a big decision like that now when we haven't even cut the cake yet," Sheldon replied in a hushed tone.

"I like the sound of that," Amy said. Just then, Penny and Leonard walked over and Amy stood up from her seat to give her bestie a hug.

"Oh my god, we did it!" Penny said excitedly.

"I know! It's crazy," Amy replied.

"Look at us, We're like one big happy family," Penny added with tears beginning to fill her eyes.

"Speaking of family, if you will excuse me, I'm going to go find my mother. I've barely spoken to her since she got her," Sheldon said as he got from his seat. It didn't take much time before he found Mary Cooper. Once he was in her line of vision, she immediately stood up to give her son a big hug.

"Oh, Shelly! I'm so proud of you. Amy is a good girl and you need to take care of her," Mary told Sheldon.

"That is exactly what I intend to do," Sheldon replied with a smile.

Before everyone knew it, the sun had gone down and the night was starting to wind down. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves, especially Stuart, who had taken a liking to Penny's cousin, Lisa. The pair had spent much of the evening talking and dancing together.

"You planned that, didn't you?" Kelly asked Penny as they watch Stuart and Lisa.

"Of course I did. Raj met you at Bernadette's wedding. I figured, what the hell?" Penny answered with a smile on her face.

"They do seem to be getting along really well," Leonard chimed in.

"Lisa is totally into all of that comic book nerd stuff. She owns a comic book store herself back home," Penny replied, proud of herself.

Everyone laughed and continued on with the evening until it was time to call it a night. It had been a long and thrilling day for all of them. There was a sense of togetherness and family among them. They had all been through so many ups and downs in the time that they had known each other. They all knew that no matter what, they were in each other's lives for the long haul. For better or for worse. In sickness and in health.

For as long as they all shall live.
