All I Want For Christmas Is You-Ch 14
Derek watched as first Emily and then JJ walked up the flower petal path and stood across from him, his heart then sped up when he saw his beautiful bride step up. He smiled as he watched her start making her way up too him and thought, "she's so beautiful, so so beautiful and all mine".
Penelope sighed happily and tightened her grip on her brothers arm as they continued walking, getting closer and closer to Derek, after what seemed like forever Penelope and Payton were finally at the front of the aisle. Payton kissed his sister on the cheek and said, "we love you P", she said, "and I love you, all of you so so much".
Payton then put her hand in Dereks and then stepped back to sit with his wife and daughter, Derek gently squeezed her hand and smiled as the minister looked around the yard at the huge crowd of people. After taking a deep breath he said, "dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God and these witnesses to join together in the bonds of holy matrimony Derek Morgan and Penelope Garcia".
As he looked around at all of the smiling faces he said, "love is what brings us together today, the love of this man and this woman, today they join together as husband and wife". Derek took a deep breath and smiled as the minister said, "who gives this woman to this man"?, Payton stood up and said, "her family and I do sir" and then sat back down.
The minister then asked for the rings, JJ and Reid quickly handed the wedding bands to him and after a short prayer where he wished the happy couple nothing but a joy, peace and love filled life he looked at Derek and opened his mouth as he readied to speak. He smiled and said, "Derek put this ring onto Penelopes finger and then repeat after me".
Derek took the ring into his hand and slid it onto her finger and then listened as the minister said, "I Derek take you Penelope to be my lawfully wedded wife", he sighed happily and said, "I Derek take you Penelope to be my lawfully wedded wife". Next he heard, "I promise to love, honor and cherish you in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad and forsaking all others as long as we both shall live".
Derek smiled and said, "I promise to love, honor and cherish you in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad and forsaking all others as long as we both shall live". The minister then looked at Penelope and said, "Penelope take this ring and put it onto Dereks finger and repeat after me", she nodded her head yes a she took the ring into her hand and slid it onto his finger.
After taking a deep breath she heard, "I Penelope take you Derek to be my lawfully wedded husband", she said, "I Penelope take you Derek to be my lawfully wedded husband". Next she heard, "I promise to love, honor and cherish you in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad and forsaking all others as long as we both shall live".
Penelope felt her heart racing as she said, "I promise to love, honor and cherish you in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad and forsaking all others as long as we both shall live". The minister then said, "if their is anyone here that can show just cause why these two can't be lawfully joined, let them speak now or forever hold their peace".
After a few quiet seconds everybody heard, "by the powers vested in me by this state, I now pronounce you husband and wife", the happy couple stood there looking at each other lovingly. Derek grinned as the minister said, "Derek you may kiss your bride", he cupped her beautiful face in his hands and said, "I love you", she said, "I love you to hotstuff" as Derek leaned in and pressed his lips gently against hers.
They pulled apart to the sounds of hands clapping and their family shouting their congratulations, the happy couple then intertwined their fingers as they turned around and started walking back up the petal covered aisle, thus, heading over to the reception tent. As they stepped into the tent he pulled her into his arms and said, "dance with me Mrs. Morgan", she giggled and said, "it would be my pleasure Mr. Morgan".
As the words to "I Swear" filled the tent they leaned in and shared a soft, gentle and loving kiss while their family clapped their hands and cheered the newlyweds on as they watched them share their first dance as husband and wife.
