Wanting-Ch 35
When Derek saw his baby girl walking toward him he felt his heart beating faster and faster, she was so beautiful in that white sundress, he couldn't help but smile. Penelope grinned when she saw her future husband mouthing the words, "I love you", she took a deep breath and said, "I love you to hotstuff".
Penelope couldn't believe that after everthing she had been through over the past several months that she was now finally getting the man that she had loved for years. She stopped in front of him and sighed happily as she put her hand in his, Derek gently squeezed her hand and smiled as they both turned to face the minister.
The minister smiled at the happy couple and then looked out at the small crowd and said, "we are gathered here today to join in the bonds of holy matrimony Derek Michael Morgan and Penelope Ann Garcia". He said, "marriage isn't an institution that should be intered into lightly", he looked down at a ver nervous groom and grinned.
He looked at the couple and said, "who gives this woman to this man"?, Dave stepped forward and said, "I do sir", he then asked for the wedding bands,
and Penelope said, "I don't have a ring for you hotstuff". Fran said, "yes you do honey it's in JJ's hand" and she turned and saw a beautiful golden band and said, "ohhh Fran is amazing".
Fran said, "it belonged to my James and I know that he would want his only son to have it", JJ and Reid then handed the minister the rings and he put them on his opened bible and said, "God please grant this happy couple an amazing life together filled with joy, love, peace and happiness". He then looked at Derek and said, "Derek do you take Penelope to love, honor and cherish, do you promise to keep thee only onto her in good times and in bad,
in sickness and in health for richer or poorer as long as you both shall live"?, he looked at Penelope and said, "I do".
The minister looked at Penelope and said, "I need you to slid the ring on his finger", she nervously slid the ring on his finger as the minister opened his mouth and said, "Penelope do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband do you promise to keep thee only onto him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health for richer or poorer as long as you both shall live"?, she smiled at Derek and said, "I do".
Fran wiped a tear as she watched Derek bring Penelopes hand up to his lips and gently kiss it, the minister said, "is there anyone here that can show just cause why these two can't be lawfully joined in the bonds of holy matrimony, if there is let them speak now or forever hold their peace". After a few seconds he said, "by the state of Chicago I now pronounce you husband and wife, what God has joined together let no man put asunder".
Derek took a deep breath and smiled as the minister said, "Derek you may now kiss your bride", Derek then put Penelopes face in his hands and leaned in slowly and said, "I love you Mrs. Morgan". Penelope smiled adn said, "and I love you Mr. Morgan", he then leaned the rest of the way in and gently pressed his lips against hers.
They pulled apart when the minister said, "ladies and gentlemen it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Derek Morgan". The small crowd of people stood to their feet and started clapping their hands and whistling, Derek smiled at his new bride as he leaned in for another kiss.
When they pulled apart Fran stepped forward and hugged her son and daughter and said, "congratulations you two", Derek said, "thanks momma", Penelope said, "thank you Fran". She then looked at the family and friends that were gathered and said, "we are having a reception and would like for everyone to please stay and join us".
Derek intertwined fingers with his wife and said, "are you ready to party baby girl"?, she laughed and said, "I am my sexy husban, I am", the happy couple laughed as they headed up the aisle and over toward the waiting celebration.
