"... you may kiss the bride," announced the celebrant, looking at the happy couple.

As the words were said the smile that had been on Cameron's face for most of the ceremony got even bigger, matching the one that was reflected back at him on Anna's face. Cameron kissed his new wife slowly, the kiss deepening as she responded back, putting her arms around his neck as he clasped her around the waist, holding her close as he bent her slowly backwards as the kiss became more passionate. Hearing lots of clapping and congratulating calls, they stopped kissing as Cameron straighten up holding Anna in his arms and lifting her off the ground, both of them laughing with happiness. Cameron put her back down on the ground as they turned to their friends and family, smiling.

As music quietly filled the air Anna moved forward, holding Cameron's hand. Smiling she turned to him, "Dance with me," she said, leading him towards an open space on the grass, and slipping off her shoes.

Cameron laughed. "Ok, Doc, just a sec."

Letting go of Anna's hand, he pulled off his jacket and tie and threw them to one side. "Now I'm ready," he said slipping his hand back into Anna's. Laughing and smiling at each other, they began to dance.

"Would you care to dance Vala Mal Doran?" Teal'c, watching others going up to dance along with Colonel Mitchell and Doctor Shaw, saw the slightly wistful look on her face.

"Why Muscles, I didn't know you knew how to dance," said Vala, slightly surprised. Now this she had to see.

"Indeed. Doctor Shaw provided a demonstration and was most instructive."

"Anna gave you lessons?" Now Vala was really curious.

Teal'c nodded at her as way of reply.

Just then Daniel joined them. "Vala, would you like to dance?"

Vala tried to keep the joy off her face. "Two handsome men, asking me to dance? This bridesmaid job is beginning to look very attractive."

"Speaking of which, you did a good job and you look lovely," said Daniel looking at Vala intently. The truth was he didn't think he had seen her look more beautiful. The simple midnight blue dress brought out the green of her eyes and made her black hair seem even darker.

"Why Daniel, compliments even. Are you feeling alright?" Vala was secretly pleased that he noticed, but still it wasn't like Daniel to be so... well, nice, actually. It was a little unnerving.

"I believe it is customary for the best man to compliment the bridesmaid," said Teal'c, sensing Vala's discomfort.

Daniel turned to look at Teal'c, as if suddenly remembering something. "Of course, I'd forgotten. This is your first wedding. I mean, Earth wedding. For both of you in fact."

"Indeed it is, Daniel Jackson. Doctor Shaw was kind enough to inform me of the details of what is involved."

"Anna's been giving him dancing lessons," interjected Vala, pointing at Teal'c.

"Oh?" Daniel said with a questioning look.

Teal'c couldn't help wondering why they both seemed surprised that he knew how to dance. The movements that Doctor Shaw had shown him had been easy to follow, though he had struggled with the concept of 'feeling the music' that the Doctor had described. The steps themselves were not hard, but it did seem to him that some dancing was a very intimate thing to do. He had been a little uncomfortable when Doctor Shaw had touched him, putting his hands on her shoulder and waist. Still, looking at them now, Colonel Mitchell and her seemed to enjoy it.

"Doctor Shaw informed me that dancing was involved at this type of event. It seemed wise to learn." Changing the subject he carried on, "And I believe that cake is also involved."

"Well, first there's dancing. And you asked me first, so sorry Daniel maybe later," said Vala taking Teal'c hand and leading him to where the others were dancing.

Daniel watched them, seeing Vala take control of the situation. Teal'c was hesitate at first, but with Vala in charge she soon had him dancing along with others. Daniel shook his head slightly, wondering if Teal'c really knew what he was getting into. She'll probably have him dancing on the table in no time, he thought to himself, the smile on his face getting broader at the image that created.

Seeing Jack and Sam talking on the other side of the dancers, he headed their way. Jack and Sam smiled at his approach.

"So Daniel, not dancing I take it?" said Jack.

"No. I think I'll leave it to the others for now."

"They look happy together," said Sam, looking over at Cameron and Anna. Admiring not only their dancing but their ease with each other.

"Yeah, they do." Daniel's voice sounded a little wistful.

As the song changed General Landry went up to the happy couple and began to dance with Anna. Cameron came over to Jack, Sam and Daniel, joining them, grabbing a cold beer on the way.

"She looks beautiful," said Sam noticing Cameron watching Anna, and the big smile on his face.

"Yes, she does," said Cameron, his eyes focused on Anna dancing.

God, she looked amazing, he thought, appreciating the simple dress. The spaghetti straps that went over her shoulders and crossed over at the back giving him a glimpse of smooth skin. The rest of the dress flowed down revealing two thigh high splits in the front as she moved which showed off her great legs, the splits stopping at mid thigh. To complete the look her hair was pulled back from the sides and clasped at the back with pieces of jasmine and pearls, the rest of her hair falling down her back in long curls. She looked elegant and incredibly sexy at the same time. To Cameron she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Turning his attention back to the others Cameron gave Sam a quick look up and down. "You look nice Sam. It was, he thought, only the second time he had seen Sam wearing a dress. She looked good.

Smiling, Sam glanced quickly down at herself. She had been unsure about wearing the dress, but when Jack had said how nice it looked on her, she had decided to give it a go. "Thanks. You look pretty good yourself."

Cameron smiled in response. "So Sir, not dancing yourself?" he asked, speaking to Jack.

"Cameron. I think it's okay if you call me Jack. We're off duty and we've known each other how many years? In case you haven't noticed this is a wedding. Your wedding. I think we can drop the formalities and relax. Okay?"

"Sorry, Jack. Force of habit."

Nodding Jack replied to Cameron's question, "I'll think I leave the dancing to you kids. As Carter will testify I've got two left feet."

"You're not that bad!" said Sam, as Jack gave her a quick smile.

Noticing her empty glass, he went over to the drinks table to get a refill. "Actually, he is that bad," said Sam, once he was out of earshot, lowering her voice just in case, so Jack wouldn't hear, as he came back with two drinks in his hand.

*S***S*

It was now a clear and beautiful evening with the night sky filled with stars. The rest of the afternoon had gone well, with much laughter and talking. For Cameron and Anna, the day had been perfect, getting married to each other, sharing the day with friends and family.

Watching them, Daniel could see how happy they were. It had been a good day, he had even had several dances, sharing a dance with Anna, Sam and Cam's mom. So far he hadn't had a dance with Vala, she had been busy laughing and dancing with just about everyone else instead. Still he was hopeful. But first he needed to talk to Jack.

"Jack. I need to talk to you about something."

"So Daniel, something on your mind, I take it?" Jack had known Daniel long enough to when something was up. As soon as he had seen Daniel at the engagement party a few weeks ago, he had suspected as much. He was just surprised that it had taken Daniel this long to bring it up.

"Look, I know this isn't probably the right place, but I think I've discovered something important... really important" pausing he continued "It could change our entire view of the Stargate system. Of the universe."
