Summer Rental-Ch 22

A few minutes later the happy couple intertwined their fingers as they nervously step inside the courthouse, Penelope looked up and saw the rest of her amazing little family walking toward her. Emily said, "you look beautiful", Penelope said, "thank you for being here", JJ said, "we wouldn't miss this for anything Garcie".

Reid smiled and said, "you look so amazing P", she kissed him on the cheek and said, "thank you Spencer", she leaned in and whispered, "JJ looks beautiful",
he grinned as he glanced over his shoulder and said, "yeah she does". Derek walked over to JJ and said, "soooooo, you and Spencer, how is that doing"?, JJ took a deep breath and said, "great, he is an amazing person and I've never felt this way before Derek".

Derek said, "Spencer is an amazing man and I am so glad that the two of you are so happy together", JJ said, "before Spencer and I started dating I never really thought of my future but now it's all I can think of". He said, "that's great JJ, everybody deserves to be happy especially you and Spencer", she grinned and said, "so how are you feeling this morning, are you nervous"?, he said, "definitley but I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with my baby girls".

Reid walked over and said, "we better head to the judges chamber, we don't want to be late", Derek slid his hand inside Penelopes and said, "are you ready my love"?, she winked at him and said, "lead the way handsome, lead the way" as they headed up to the end of the hall. They stopped outside the judges door and Hotch raised his hand and knocked.

A few seconds later they heard, "come in", they stepped inside and Hotch said, "thanks again Judge Harper for doing this for us", he grinned as he shook hands with everybody and said, "you are very welcome Aaron". He looked at the happy couple and said, "how are you two doing this morning"?, Derek said, "great, nervous but great".

Judge Harper stood up and said, "are the two of you ready to preceede"?, they looked at each other and nodded their heads yes, he grinned and said, "we are all gathered her today in the sight of God and these witnesses to join together Derek Morgan and Penelope Garcia in the bonds of holy matrimony". Reid reached over and intertwined fingers with JJ and winked at her as the judge asked for the rings.

The judge looked at Derek and said, "put the ring onto Penelopes finger and repeat after me", Derek nodded his head as he nervously slid the ring onto her finger. The judge said, "I Derek take you Penelope to be my wife", Derek looked lovingly into her eyes and said, "I Derek take you Penelope to be my wife",
he said, "to have and to hold from this day forward", Derek swallowed and said, "to have and to hold from this day forward".

Fran watched as he son nervously squeezed his brides hand as the judge said, "in sickness and health, for richer or poorer and forsaking all others for as long as we live". Derek said, "in sicnkess and health, for richer or poorer and forsaking all others for as long as we live", she reached up with her free hand and wiped the tears away as the judge handed her the ring and said, "put this ring onto Dereks finger and repeat after me".

She smiled happily as she slid the ring onto his finger and he said, "I Penelope take you Derek to be my husband", she said, "I Penelope take you Derek to be my husband". The judge said, "to have and to hold from this day forward", Penelope said, "to have and to hold from this day forward, she gently squeezed his hand and smiled.

The judge said, "in sickness and health, for richer or poorer and forsaking all others as long as we live", she took a deep breath and said, "in sickness and health, for richer or poorer and forsaking all others as long as we live". The judge said, "if there 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".

A few seconds later he said, "by the powers vested in me by this state I now pronounce you husband and wife", he smiled at the happy couple and said, "Derek you may now kiss your bride". A huge grin covered his face as he cupped her face in his hands and slowly leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, when they pulled apart the judge said, "ladies and gentlemen it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you Mr and Mrs. Derek Morgan" and as the room filled with the sound of clapping hands and the squeal of congratulations Derek leaned in to claim his brides lips in another kiss.
