Disclaimer: I don't own Bones, but I hope my wedding for them doesn't copy theirs. We all need our own vision to keep the FF authors on our toes.

Okay, folks, the chapter you've been waiting on. Enjoy...


JEFFERSONIAN MEDICO LEGAL LAB – 11:30 PM

Booth's bachelor party was in full swing at the lab. Good by Better than Ezra was playing on a nearby IPad as several air hockey tournaments were being played on the platform on tables covered with air hockey boards to not damage the equipment.

On the ground was a buffet table with nachos and other munchies made in Hodgins' incubator. Nearby was a bowl of tequila and a micro beer made from more of the entomologist's lab equipment.

Max put down a shot of the tequila after arriving back from running Pops back to his apartment. Sweets picked the elder man up earlier to surprise Booth. The agent's grandfather had a blast at the air hockey tables. However, between the late hour and the sampling of Hodgins' beer, he got tired. He decided to stay with Brennan's father to avoid the bridal shower tonight.

On the platform, Wendell was playing Fisher on one table. Arastoo was up against Aldo in another game, while Hodgins was playing Max. In chairs below the platform sat Booth and Sweets, who were 'eliminated' earlier. The agent was drinking the beer from an Erlenmeyer flask while Sweets was sampling Hodgins' tequila in a Graduated flask.

"Oh wow, this stuff is good…..do I want to know where he got the agave?" Sweets asked

"Nope" Booth replied. "Just like I am not asking where he got the hops and other items for this beer. This is really, really good."

Setting down his beer, he grabbed a bottle of Hodgins and Finn's hot sauce from the floor and dumped some on his nachos before taking a bite. "Damn this really is the best hot sauce I've ever had. Hodgins gave me a year's supply for a wedding present. Gotta try this stuff."

Unsteadily, Booth waved a nacho dripped in cheese and hot sauce to Sweets. The younger man took a bite and a moment later grabbed his flask of homemade tequila to wash away the burn.

Booth started laughing. "You're going to regret that. That is potent shit. That is why this is my last drink of the night. I'm 42 years old and I am buzzed off three hits of tequila and three beers. Getting too old for this shit."

"It can't be that bad….whoa." Sweets groaned as he started feeling the alcohol. "Okay, all done with that."

Booth sobered himself up enough to ask the question he had wanted to ask all night. "Sweets, I need a favor."

Sweets was leaning back in his chair. He was sober but wouldn't be much longer as he was starting to have problems with focusing. "Sure, Booth, how can I help you? Did you know that there's two of you?"

Seeing Sweets start to feel the effects of the alcohol he chugged, he made it quick. "Will you be in my wedding? Parker is my best man and Hodgins is standing up also and I would like you up there also if you are interested."

Sweets sat stunned, Booth's question momentarily sobered him. "S-Sure, Booth. I am more than happy to sub for Jared, but I need a tux."

"Yeah, Angela hacked into where you bought your last few suits and got your measurements. It's waiting for you tomorrow." He hesitated, but continued. "Sweets, I am not asking you to substitute for my brother. If Jared could be here, he would be a guest. I love my brother very much, but we don't have the best relationship…"

He inhaled and spoke fast. "…and you're the little brother I never had even you are annoying as shit."

Sweets sat in stunned silence as Booth chugged his beer. The man he looked up to said he considered him a little brother and cared about him. "Booth, do you really—"

"Sweets, if you get all touchy feely and keep talking about it I will take it all back."

Sweets knew to quit when he was ahead. "Sure, Booth it would be an honor."

"Thanks."


JUNE 13 – 9:30 AM

"Come on, Man why can't I make the call?"

"Because you will probably spout out some freaky shit and they'll all know it's you calling. If we mess this up, Dr. Brennan will have our heads."

"I will do it."

"No way, why does she get to do it?"

"Because she has the gun and we don't."

"Fine." Fisher pouted. When he was out of earshot, he muttered, "I got them the rooms, I should make the call."

"Thank you." Wendell said while ignoring his colleague's last words.

The intern gave the burner cell to Genny. She dialed a number and when she got an answer, she stated her rehearsed response before quickly hanging up. The three of them couldn't help but laugh before running off from the alley and down the city blocks towards the Jeffersonian.

Christopher Pelant noted the three people leave the alley and run down the road. Out of boredom he was going to inquire further, but he heard a beep. Turning around, his monitor showed a Green Card application. He smiled a one sided grin, but suddenly got frustrated when he couldn't get his left hand to type in the sequence he needed for five minutes. When he was finally able to make his hand work, it was painstakingly slow, but the results he wanted were complete.

"Get rid of this enemy, then after a few more things, I will get him out of the way and Dad will be proud of me. No one to compare me to."

Cam was in her autopsy suite giving Daisy some particulates to examine when her phone rang. The pathologist noted the time and quickly ripped off her gloves to answer. "Dr. Saroyan?...when….where. I will right away. Goodbye."

She quickly hung up and walked over to Daisy who was collecting bone particulates from the body on the table. "Ms. Wick that was security. There was a bomb threat called in."

"Oh my God. Doctor Saroyan. We need to—"

'Thank God she's in the dark or we'd be screwed'. Cam thought to herself in silent prayer when she saw the intern's hyper response starting. "Ms. Wick, chill! Now, calmly get the interns and techs together and exit through the main doors. I will go get Doctors Hodgins and Brennan, her niece, and Angela and we'll head out the back way."

"I can help you with getting them out of here. I am you—"

Cam gave her the 'Do it now' look, stopping Daisy in her tracks. Quickly, the intern ran out and got people around before leading them out. The pathologist then made a show of walking to Hodgins' office.

Angela came out and saw the confusion before walking across the hall to the Bone Room where Emma was shadowing her aunt for the day as they examined a clavicle. "Bren, Emma, are you ready?"

The women were removing their gloves when Cam and Hodgins met up with them. The group walked out a seldom used exit which led to a vacant lot with two rental cars. One had Arastoo at the wheel and other one was unoccupied.

Brennan took charge. "Doctor Hodgins, do you know what you and Mr. Vaziri need to do?"

"Arastoo and I are to head over to Max's, grab Parker, and meet up with Sweets, Booth, and Hank. Should we leave Christine and Michael with him for the time being?"

"Yes, Dad knows when to meet up with us later, but Parker needs to make sure his suit fits."

Hodgins turned around to see Arastoo and Cam making out through the driver's side door. "Oh come on, can't you do that later-"

When Cam turned around with a look, Hodgins stuttered. "…ma'am?"

"You're lucky we're pressed for time, Doctor Hodgins. When I get the call from Micah, I will call you guys to return here and we can all set up." Cam said while walking back to the other car.

As Hodgins got into the car with Arastoo and left to complete their tasks, the ladies got in the other car. "Okay, what's first?" Angela asked.

"Get the FBI Crime Scene Van for transporting our items to the Jeffersonian." Brennan said before putting the car in gear and leaving.


JEFFERSONIAN - 6:00 PM

Brennan and the girls were in a room on the lower rotunda floor changing into their dresses. The anthropologist saw Emma in her chiffon dress and was glad she and Russ made the decision they did on who was to attend tonight.

Hayley was ill and needed her family, but Emma deserved experiences of her own at her age. Age fifteen to her was her parents abandoning her. She wanted better for her niece.

She then saw Cam was helping Emma put on her jewelry. Her bridesmaids were wearing the same dress except Cam had tank sleeves and Emma had cap sleeves. The cobalt blue color set off the skin tone of both women beautifully. Brennan appreciated all the help the pathologist gave in the last few days, knowing the risk to herself and Arastoo as well as the entire team from Pelant.

The relationship between herself and Doctor Saroyan had come a long way from their first meeting. They could still butt heads at times, but over time, they grew to have a wonderful friendship. 'My cerebral friendship' Brennan thought.

Brennan then turned and looked at Angela as she was getting her final adjustments on her sage green chiffon dress. She had cried with this woman, yelled with this woman, and even inadvertently was under the influence of methamphetamines with this woman. Much like her relationship with Booth, on paper it was not one that should work, but in real life, each complimented the other beautifully.

'My heart friend.'

When Angela was free, she walked over and hugged her with her left arm. "Thank you, Angela. Thank you for being my best friend and telling me to get off my horse."

Angela laughed. "High horse, Honey. It's 'get off your high horse' and its okay. That's what friends are for."

Seeing the time, she looked over to the other ladies, then over to Brennan as she handed her the bridal bouquet. "Ready, Bren?"

"Absolutely."

When there was a knock at the door, Cam answered it to Max. "Max. Come in."

Max said before seeing his granddaughter. Walking over to her, he hugged her. "Emma, you are so beautiful."

"Thanks, Grandpa Max."

"Cam, you are lovely, as are you, Angela". When he saw Brennan, he had tears in his eyes. "Tempe, you are so beautiful."

Brennan was wearing a pale gold dress with demir stretch satin that skimmed her curves beautifully with embroidered lace and beaded embellishments in a pale ivory that set off her skin.

Max composed himself and then walked over to his daughter. "Now I know you have something new and borrowed, Angela said."

"Yes, as per the superstitious tradition, I have these new earrings and the toe ring that Angela was wearing when she married Hodgins. Also, my matron of honor painted my toenails blue last night. But no one would let me try to find something old."

"That was my fault, Tempe. It was because I wanted to give you this."

Max opened a box and Brennan was speechless when she saw a sterling silver necklace with a sapphire drop dangling in the center. When she remembered where it came from, tears welled up in her eyes. "Mom's necklace."

Max sucked up the tears forming in his eyes. "She wore it when we got married. Our ceremony was much simpler than this one, but it was so beautiful on her. Now, it's your turn to wear it. Someday, Christine can wear it."

Brennan inhaled sharply to hold back tears as Max put it on her neck. After he kissed her cheek, he turned to the girls. "I will let them know."

Closing the door, Max came down the stairs and entered the rotunda. When he looked around, he saw Booth and Hank talking to the priest. Parker was standing next to him, followed by Hodgins and Sweets. He saw Wendell talking to Agents Shaw and Sparling and Angela's father, who was holding Michael and Christine's hands on each side. Finn and Michelle were conversing with Fisher, Brennan's cousin Margaret, and Booth's friend Aldo. Charlie was talking to Deputy Director Cullen, Doctor Gordon-Gordon Wyatt, and Caroline.

When Booth looked up and saw him, Max gave him the thumbs up as the ladies lined up by the stairs. Booth whispered in Parker's ear, who ran to Wendell, who cued the music from his nearby IPad.

Suddenly the beginning strands of Ho Hey by the Lumineers played as Emma, Cam, and Angela made their way towards the altar 'borrowed' from the Religions of the World exhibit courtesy of Hodgins.

Emma made it down the aisle still in awe of being there. She loved her sister Hayley, but sometimes felt ignored by her parents. She saw her Uncle Booth smile and felt better. He was very nice and was glad he was her uncle.

She was even happier to spend time with Aunt Tempe, who she looked up to. She knew people thought she was mean, but Aunt Tempe always took the time to talk to her and answer all her questions in regards to bones. Someday she hoped to be a forensic anthropologist like her.

Cam made her way down and couldn't help but see Arastoo. He looked at her with such an open look of love it was almost overwhelming. He made her feel safe and secure without sacrificing her independence. Her feelings have only grown since he told her how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and that she was his family now.

When she got closer, she mouthed 'I love you'. His eyes lit up like a 100 watt bulb.

Angela next walked down the aisle and watched her husband standing so proud. 'How did I get so lucky?' She thought to herself.

Jack Stanley Hodgins IV always seemed to surprise her. He did the craziest stuff to get her to notice him, including a message in glowing shrimp and when she did she later almost lost him for good because of her own fears.

'Thank god we got our shit together.' she thought as she saw her father holding Michael and Christine standing nearby. 'Hopefully Dad won't give Hodgins any more tattoos.'

When Angela got to her spot, the music changed to In My Life by the Beatles. Everyone stood and were in awe as Max and Brennan walked down the aisle.

For Brennan, she heard the music and knew she made the right choice for her walk. Her friends were skeptical, but she knew this song described her and Booth perfectly.

'Besides, when did they ever do things like normal people?'

Booth watched his soul mate walk down the aisle and tears started to form in his eyes. She was so beautiful in her dress. After the women returned from West Virginia, Brennan explained why her dress would not be white, arguing that she was not a virgin and it would not be honest. When she finished speaking, he laughed his ass off.

He saw the blue stone hanging from her neck and it was stunning. It brought out the blue in her beautiful eyes. Her hair was clipped at the nape of her neck into a soft pony tail but the results were breathtaking. He never saw a bride or will see one again as beautiful as the one walking towards him.

When she arrived at the altar, she looked to the small amount of guests. They could not invite many people, but only the people closest they could trust. However, the guests there were the ones that mattered.

Brennan took the hands of the man she loved as she looked into his eyes ready to give herself to him. He looked to her with open adoration.

'This was really happening. Booth and Brennan each thought.

Aldo began the ceremony. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered today to witness the union of Seeley Joseph Booth and Temperance Joy Brennan."


The reception was a tap house/restaurant in Boonsboro, Maryland, about an hour away from D.C.. After a meal that included crab dip, sliders (to Booth's delight), and items off from the dinner menu, Booth and Brennan got on the dance floor and started dancing to Edwin McCain's I Could Not Ask For More.

About halfway through the song, Booth signaled Wendell, who pushed a couple buttons before Hot Blooded started to play.

"Booth….they're playing our song!"

"Yes, Bones they are….now, let's dance!"

Agents Sparling and Shaw were a little mystified by the change in songs for their first dance, but Angela and the others were laughing and clapping. This was the bride and groom's normal and it was romantic to the ones who witnessed their love over the years.

Sweets watched the couple dance and admired where they came from before coming together. He looked around and saw Wendell talking to Agent Shaw and Hodgins take his wife's hand as started to walk out of the room with guilty faces. He watched as his friends all gathered together to applaud as the final notes of Hot Blooded ended to be replaced by In a Big Country by Big Country.

'His family.' he thought to himself before he felt a tug on his arm and was yanked.

"Come on Lance, let's dance!" Olivia said.

The small group of people started moving to the dance floor. Hodgins and Angela turned around and joined the crowd. Max grabbed Caroline and they were dancing as they could. Booth was smiling as Brennan started her crazy dancing.

Not one person sat out as everyone had a blast dancing to the song.


Two hours later, the party was winding down. As the guests finished up their alcohol, Booth and Brennan changed into their street clothes and began telling everyone goodbye. Right before they walked out of the restaurant, Booth turned around suddenly and grabbed Sweets' keys out of his pocket.

"Booth…what the hell?"

"Just in case someone did something to my SUV." He retorted before tossing his keys to Sweets and Agent Sparling. "Hurt my truck, I hurt you."

"Booth, hurry up. I want to go have intercourse before our wedding night ends."

The groom turned beet red. He rubbed his face for a second, then turned around and walked back to her. "Did you have to announce that to everyone? My grandfather? Your father? The kids?"

"Booth, you need to relax. Your grandfather said he talked to you about sexual intercourse and I'm sure my father knows we have sexual intercourse. The children should know it's not a bad thing, but a natural, biological occurrence between two people, or someone and a metaphorical horse."

"Bones!"

She turned her eyes towards her husband. "Let's go, Booth. I want to know about this surprise you have planned. I thought we were going back home until about an hour ago. Give me a hint."

"Nope, Mrs. Booth…Ms. Booth…..?

"I am still contemplating that. However…." She leaned up and whispered in his ear as his eyes bugged out.

Booth turned to the crowd and spoke fast. "Okay, everyone, thanks again for coming. I can't emphasize enough the importance of keeping this day to yourself. If anyone asks, we headed to Antietam early due to the bomb threat. Have a good night!"

Amid catcalls and someone yelling, "You sure will, Booth!", he grabbed Brennan and rushed her to Sweets' Toyota.

Squealing the tires, he took off as he wanted to make quick time to hide Sweets' car before his surprise to Bones. His bride promised him the ride of his life and he wanted it now, damn it.

*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*

"Bones, I can't believe you called in a bomb threat to the Jeffersonian! You know how much trouble you would have been in?" He said as he laughed. "Clever though. Pelant will hear on the news it was closed and gave us an excuse to go into the Jeffersonian without security except for Micah since I put Charlie, Shaw, and Sparling on the case."

"Of course I am clever, Booth. So did you enjoy my gift to you?"

Booth saw the white Merry Widow hanging off the door knob it landed on. The panties it came with were thrown on the floor near his boxer shorts. He then looked down on his new wife. The thigh high stockings she wore remained on. Her wearing them while he made love to her was too hot for words. Seeing his wife with nothing on but her stockings started a familiar feeling as his cock hardened. He lifted his head and looked up at her again, this time like a predator.

For Brennan, seeing that look in his eye confirmed that the choice of wedding lingerie was the right one. It also started stirrings in her as she felt her core heat up. Without words, the couple came together and started another round of lovemaking, forgetting for a while the threat that hung over their heads.
