A/N: Ok, so I was going to go into all the same-sex marriage business but to be honest it's not worth it! In my eyes (and for the purpose of this fic) it's legal everywhere! Anyway, I also realized that Mark has been missing from this! So I've decided that he moved back to New York after the ferry crash, before everyone found out about Meredith and Addison! Also, I've started the epilogue to this fic and I'm really happy with it but I feel like there needs to be another chapter before it but my brain is pretty much dead when it comes to this story, so it might take a while! Anyway I'm rambling again so I'll leave you too your reading!
REVIEWS PLEASE!

5 months later….
"How about we do it at Joe's, we're already going there for the party so why don't we just do it there? Izzie's breathing down my neck for a venue, its the last thing on the list when it probably should've been the first" Addison groaned "Don't you dare say I told you so"
"I'm not gonna say it, I promised I wouldn't" Meredith laughed "But yeah, Joe's is a great idea"
"I have good ideas Mer thats why you love me, Joe can be our 'minister', we'll go and see my lawyer the next day to get all the paperwork stuff sorted and then we'll fly off to Paris for a week the day after"
"Paris? What are you talking about?"
"Well, we need a honeymoon Mer and I've already booked our flights" Addison said waving two tickets in front of Meredith's face.
"But what about work?"
"We both have outstanding holiday, Richard has sorted everything don't worry"
"Oh Addison I love you" Meredith squealed throwing her arms around her.
"I know! Now back to wedding plans please Mer, we only have a month left to organize everything!"
"Ok, ok, so are we going to change our names?"
"I didn't think you'd want to"
"Well I do, like I said before, whats mine is yours and whats yours is mine so that means we're going to share names OK?"
"Ok, But how would we do it? I already have 2 last names Mer!"
"You only have one at the hospital and you had 3 when you were with...well you know"
"True but how would we fit them together"
"Forbes Montgomery-Grey"
"I like that, what about at the hospital?" Addison smiled.
"Well you're just Montgomery so how about Montgomery-Grey?"
"Both of us? Won't that get confusing?"
"Possibly but its not like we work together that often"
"I suppose you're right, Montgomery-Grey it is!"
1 month later….
"I would like to welcome you to the commitment ceremony of Dr Meredith Grey and Dr Addison Forbes Montgomery" said Joe happily "I'd like to hand over to Addison to make her vows"
Addison took Meredith's hands in hers and looked deep into her eyes.
"Meredith Grey, you are my best friend, my love and my inspiration, when the times are good and when they're bad I will be by your side. You once told me you were nothing more than ordinary but I promise you, you are the most beautiful, gorgeous, extraordinary woman I have ever met. You are the piece I was missing and now, I feel whole. I want to share every moment of my life with you, I want a family with you, I want to grow old with you. I love you, forever."
"And now Meredith its time for your vows"
"Addison, my Addison, Addie, I think I'm not the only one in the room to admit that this was all a surprise, from the moment I met you my life has been full of surprises but I've come to love your surprises. I have an endless list of the reasons why I asked you to do this, why I wanted to be committed to you forever, not only are you the most beautiful woman I have ever met but you are the only person who has made me feel complete, the only person who can make me smile everyday and the person who I will love everyday, you are my family Addison, you are my forever"
Meredith brought Addison's hands to her lips and kissed them softly.
"Ok, so if you're ready its time to exchange the rings, Meredith if you go first"
"Addison, I give you this ring to symbolize the piece of me that fits with you, forever"
"And Addison.."
"Meredith, I give you this ring to symbolize our future together, forever"
"OK, now you may kiss….each other"
Addison and Meredith kissed passionately, Meredith jumped up and wrapped her legs around Addison's waist. Everyone clapped, whooped and wolf whistled, there were also a few tears, mostly from Izzie but that was to be expected.
"We did it" Meredith laughed.
"We did it!" Addison smiled back.
One week later….
"Well hello Drs Montgomery-Grey, welcome back, how was Paris?" Miranda Bailey smiled.
"It was amazing!" Addison smiled.
"It was perfect" Meredith added.
"Good to hear, now you both need to go to Human Resources and get your new ID badges and lab coats and then you can get to work"
"I want to work on your service today" Meredith said as they walked away from HR clipping their new badges to their new lab coats.
"What and confuse the patients with our ever so similar names"
"That and I haven't done anywhere near enough work in your speciality yet"
"I'll talk to Bailey"
"Thank you" Meredith cheekily smiled.
"Hi Mrs Wood, I'm Dr Addison Montgomery-Grey and I'll be performing your C-section" said Addison.
"And I'm Dr Meredith Montgomery-Grey and I'm going to be prepping you for surgery"
"You're both Dr Montgomery-Grey"
"As of last week yes we are" Addison smiled.
"So you two are…"
"Together yes" Meredith finished.
"If its a problem we can…" Addison said curiously.
"Oh no, no problem, congratulations!"
"Thank you, to make it a little bit easier just call me Addison"
"And call me Meredith"
"We're still getting used to it ourselves" Addison smiled.
"Do we have time for lunch sweetie?" Meredith asked as they scrubbed out of a successful C-Section.
"After we've finished with Mrs Wood we both have time for lunch"
"Good, I was thinking we could meet everyone down there if they're not busy, we haven't spoken to anyone since we got back"
"We did land at 3am Mer" she laughed.
"I know, I know, so are you coming or what?"
"Sure, wonder if we missed anything interesting?"
"We were only gone a week Addie!"
"Yes but this is Seattle Grace, a lot can happen in a week! We proved that 8 months ago"
"This is true, us getting married is old news now" Meredith laughed "I'll just go and page everyone, meet me at the nurses station when you're done"
"Ok honey"
"Hey!" Izzie smiled as Addison and Meredith approached their table, she jumped out of her chair and hugged them both tightly.
"Struggling to breath here Izzie" Meredith gasped.
"Sorry, I've missed you both! I've been stuck with Alex all week in that house, I need the house to smell nice again, it smells like boy"
Meredith and Addison both pulled disgusted faces.
"So...how was Paris?" she asked happily.
"It was amazing Iz, you would've loved it! So romantic, you could lie in the bathtub and see the Eiffel Tower" Meredith answered.
"Wow! And all I can see in my bathtub is mildew"
"Thats gross, so glad we have our own bathroom"
"So, did anything interesting happen when we were away?" Addison asked.
"Not really, oh actually McSteamy's back! He arrived yesterday."
"McSteamy?"
"Oh come on Addie you know about the Mc thing, you were McHot" Meredith smiled.
"Was I really McHot?" Addison smiled "Anyway so who was McSteamy?"
"Mark Sloan" answered Izzie.
"Wait, wait, wait, Mark Sloan, Mark Sloan is here?!"
"Yeah, he's taken his Head of Plastics job back"
"Oh crap" Addison sighed.
"Ooh, I forgot about the Mark thing, does he know….about you guys?"
"Well I haven't spoken to him since he left for New York just after the ferry crash, so not that I'm aware, unless Derek told him but they're not really the type of friends who call each other, not anymore, the Chief could've said something but why would he?"
"Well here's our chance to find out" said Meredith gesturing towards the very handsome man walking towards them.
"Addison! How nice to see you! And you Grey, oh and how could I forget you hot blonde intern" he winked at Izzie.
"I'm a first year resident now Dr Sloan, and my name is Izzie Stevens, Dr Izzie Stevens" Izzie sighed rolling her eyes.
"Right, sorry Dr Stevens" he smirked,
"Erm, it's actually Montgomery-Grey now Mark" said Meredith.
"What do you mean?"
"My name is Dr Meredith Forbes Montgomery-Grey" she smiled.
"What are you talking about?"
"We're married Mark" said Addison taking lifting Meredith's hand to show him their matching rings.
"Is this a joke?" Mark looked around him "Am I being punked?"
"No Mark, me and Meredith have been together for 8 months, we got married last week, we just got back from our honeymoon, Paris, it was lovely, you should go sometime"
"I have the video in my locker, you should watch it, it was beautiful" Izzie added.
"You...and...you, you're together, you're married!"
"Yeah" they said in unison.
"Why did nobody tell me this, my ex and Derek's ex, Derek's exes, are married!"
"Are you ok Dr Sloan? You look a little pale" asked Izzie.
"Its just a bit of a shock! How did Derek take it?"
"Well, he hates us, more me which I expected but yeah, he hates us" said Addison.
"Well that wasn't what I expected, I thought Derek had just pissed you both off enough for you to be friends and bitch about him, he must of done something really bad for you both to start batting for the other side!"
"He didn't do anything Mark" said Meredith "We just, fell in love" Meredith leaned in and kissed Addison softly.
"OK, so thats hot" Mark smirked.
"Shut up" they both groaned.
"Well I suppose I should go and find Derek"
"Mark don't you go causing any trouble, I'll set Torres and Bailey on you" Addison said pointing her finger at him.
"Since when was I a troublemaker" Mark winked as he backed away from the table.
"That actually went well" Meredith said.
"You do realize he'll be begging us for a threesome by next week, that man is all about the sex" Addison sighed.
"Well I'll have to tell him to back off because I don't share" Meredith pouted.
"I don't share either" Addison smiled kissing Meredith's pouted lips.
"Knock knock" Mark said opening Derek's office door.
"Oh don't be that guy" Derek sighed.
"What guy?"
"They guy who opens the door and says 'knock knock' its not cool"
"Nice to see you too" Mark smiled closing it behind him, he stood staring at Derek who was sat at his desk reading papers.
"So when were you planning on telling me that Addison and Meredith got married?" Mark said quickly.
"I don't talk about it" he replied coldly not looking up from his papers.
"Not even to me, I'm supposed to be your best friend Derek, this is something I should know"
"Well if you'd have called in the last 9 months maybe you'd know" he said finally looking up at Mark.
"Yeah, sorry about that, so how are you?"
"Fine, just fine, I'm still a fantastic neurosurgeon, I remain professional at all times even when I want to kill them both"
"It's kind of hot"
"Shut up, ass"
All Mark could do was smirk as he leaned back in his chair "I love this place" he laughed to himself.
