A/N. Hi Sorry i've been a while, but with the madness of the Supernatural convention weekend i went to and some writers block its taken time to get this chapter down. I do have some ideas for where i might go after all the wedding chapters are over. I do enjoy writing this story. :) This chapter takes place during the service (although i don't go into too much detail) and just before the reception. The reception will be the next chapter. This chapter and the next also set down a few hints as to where i might be going with the story. Anyway i'll stop talking now. Thank you to everyone who is still reading, have put this on alert/favourite and my reviewers, i love you all. Kat x.

Chapter 52.

Jamie was nervously waiting at the end of the aisle for Molly to arrive. His best man Ewan was trying to keep him calm, but Jamie was on edge as he wanted everything to go perfectly. He kept glancing over to where Jack, Gwen and Rhys were sitting, talking quietly amongst themselves. Looking at the three of them actually started to make Jamie feel a bit better because if they were there, then the chances of any kind threat being imminent were slim. Jamie was aware he was being paranoid, but working for Torchwood could do that to you. He glanced at his watch for what seemed like the hundredth time that day and saw it was time. The vicar was now stood at the front with them and as Jamie waited he heard the door at the back opening and the music start. They hadn't gone for the traditional wedding march, but a simple instrumental piece, that at that moment Jamie couldn't remember the name of. He looked over and his breathing hitched slightly at the sight before him. Molly walked down the aisle looking absolutely stunning, He was vaguely aware of Ianto by her side and Jess walking behind them as he was transfixed. As Molly reached the end of the aisle she smiled and he returned it as he held out his hand for hers, and they stood hand in hand while the vicar started the service.

Jamie was not the only one who was taken by the walk down the aisle, Jack was too. Jack thought that Molly did look beautiful, but his attention was on Ianto. Seeing Ianto in a suit was nothing new to Jack, but there was something special about this one, and how it fit so perfectly. It made Jack want to just grab Ianto on his way past and do something that would be completely inappropriate in a church. That would have to wait for later.

The service went smoothly, both Jamie and Molly saying their vows without making a mistake. They had gone for the traditional vows. Molly and Jamie were to make speeches at the reception, this was partly because they wanted to tell everyone how they felt, and also partly because Jamie was worried about what his best man might say to try and embarrass him. When the vicar said 'You may now kiss the bride,' Jamie leaned in and gave Molly a chaste kiss on the lips while the congregation applauded. They then went over to sign the wedding register with their witnesses Ianto and Ewan. The rest of the congregation made their way outside, and then formed up each side of the church path so that they could throw confetti as the bride and groom came out.

'Well, so far so good,' said Rhys turning to face Gwen and Jack, leaning in close to whisper, 'No aliens in sight, and no idiot running down the aisle yelling stop the wedding.'

'Ah come on Rhys, haven't you forgiven me for that yet? I was trying to save Gwen's life.' replied Jack.

'That maybe, but that's the worse thing you can imagine someone doing on your wedding day. At least our families don't remember.'

'One day you'll laugh about it.'

'Don't count on it,' grumbled Rhys, and Gwen couldn't help but grin at the look on his face. She took his hand and held it reassuringly.

Before anyone else could say anything Molly and Jamie were walking out of the church to be met with confetti being thrown over them. Molly smiled over at them as she walked past, the smile on her face showing how truly happy she was. Molly and Jamie walked over to have a quick word with the photographer before they headed over to the open space that was surrounded by trees and flowers to have the pictures taken. Usually Molly disliked having her picture taken, but as this was a special occasion she was making an exception, even she needed to have a wedding album to show people.

Ianto, Jess and Ewan followed out of the church just moments after the happy couple to avoid the confetti. Jess went and stood with her grandparents while Ianto headed over to Jack.

'Hi handsome,' said Jack, raising his eyebrows suggestively, as Ianto approached.

Ianto rolled his eyes, 'Jack, we're outside a church.'

'Precisely, outside not inside.'

'We're still on sacred ground though, so whatever you're thinking save it for later.'

'Fine,' answered Jack. 'You do look good though.'

Ianto smiled, 'Thanks. Anyway the reason I came over is because Molly wants a picture with us all. I know we aren't exactly big on picture taking, but it would be nice.'

'That's a great idea,' agreed Gwen. 'We could put a copy up in the Hub.'

'I'll wait here till you come back,' said Rhys.

'No, you're coming with us' said Ianto. 'Molly said to make sure you come too.'

'Really,' answered Rhys, blushing slightly in surprise. He was touched to be included, as he had assumed that she had just meant the team.

'Really, she said you're family too.'

They walked over to Molly and Jamie and after exchanging hugs and congratulations they had a picture taken of the six of them. Ianto and Jack stood next to Molly, while Gwen and Rhys stood next to Jamie. As Molly looked over back towards the church she noticed a tall figure standing just away from all the other people and she made a small gasp when she realised who it was. The others looked in the same direction at this and they too saw the figure, it was a man, tall, well built and in the distinctive uniform of UNIT, red cap and everything.

'Is that your uncle,' queried Ianto.

'Yeah, I'm surprised he actually came. I'll be back in a minute.' Molly replied and headed over to talk to her uncle.

The others tried not to stare as Molly talked to her uncle, but it was hard not too. The conversation looked tense, and they were curious to know what was being said. At one point, Molly's uncle looked over at them, straight at Jack and frowned. This made Ianto, Gwen, Jamie and Rhys turn to look at him, and he shifted uncomfortably.

'Do you know him?' asked Gwen.

'I have been around for a while and I've dealt with a lot of UNIT Generals,' started Jack. 'A few who I've got on ok with and a lot of others not as much.'

'You mean you've pissed off,' supplied Gwen .

'If you want to put it like that yeah, and Molly uncle falls into that category. It was years ago though.'

'Maybe you should have said something to Molly about the fact you've had dealings with her uncle before, especially if it didn't end well.' said Rhys.

'I didn't remember him until I just saw him. Like I said I've dealt with a lot of them over the years, I don't always remember their names, but I do remember faces.'

'Plus you've upset so many, it must be hard to keep track.' said Ianto with a straight face, while the others laughed.

'Hey that's not fair, I do try to cooperate with them.'

'Yeah, and I'm the one that has to smooth things over with them when your attempts fail.'

Molly had finished her talk with her uncle and was returning to stand with the rest of the group. 'You ok?' asked Jamie slipping his arm around her shoulder.

'I'm fine, he's not staying.'

'Really, then why was he here?'

'He wanted to say congratulations and to tell me that he wants to talk to me. I said I'd meet him the day after tomorrow. We're not going on honeymoon until next week, so i thought i might as well get it over with.'

'What does he want to talk about?' asked Ianto.

'I don't know exactly, but I can guess. Anyway, that's not for thinking about today. Come on we have a reception to go too.'

The reception was taking place in a hotel in town, with great views of the bay. Gwen had been there earlier in the morning to make sure that everything was set up correctly. Gwen had been happy to get involved. The room was fairly large and was currently set up with tables of four for the meal that was to start the celebrations. Later there would be a disco and more people had been invited to the evening part of the party. The room was decorated with white balloons, flowers and banners. Jack and Gwen were following a couple of Molly's old friends into the room, and on overhearing the girls conversation they realised they were talking about Ianto.

'I admit that Jamie's cute,' said one girl,' but who was the guy she walked down the aisle with because he was totally hot.'

'Definitely,' replied the other one. 'I am so getting Molly to introduce us later.'

'Not if I get there first,' the first girl answered. They both then started giggling and walked towards their table.

Gwen glanced at Jack and had to suppress the urge to grin at the way he was frowning. 'What's the matter Jack, jealous they're not talking about you?'

'No, they seem to have excellent taste in men, but there's no way their getting an introduction.'

Gwen chuckled lightly, 'This possessive side to you is so cute. You must realise that Molly would tell them they have no chance.'

'I know. It's my own fault really for going out with someone so "totally hot"' he replied mimicking the girls words, but laughing as he did. He knew he had nothing to worry about.

They sat down at their table, it was to be just the three of them as Ianto was going to be sitting on the top table with Molly. They were fine with that though as it meant they could still talk freely without worrying about what a stranger might overhear.

Molly and Jamie were waiting just outside the door while their guests were taking their seats. 'Are you sure you don't want to tell them now?' asked Jamie.

'Yes I'm sure, we don't know what they're going to say and I'd rather not find out right now. Look we only worked this out yesterday.'

'And you haven't said anything to anyone?'

'No'.

'Not even Ianto, you did spend the night with him last night.'

Molly laughed, 'Don't go around saying that will you. What would people think if they knew I spent the night with another man the night before my wedding. Well, two actually as Jack was there as well.'

'Funny,' said Jamie rolling his eyes. 'Didn't answer my question though?'

'No I didn't tell Ianto, and believe me it wasn't easy, I tell him everything.'

'As I'm well aware.'

It was Molly's turn to roll her eyes, 'Come on, I don't think we should have our first marital argument before the reception.'

'Ok, we can deal with everything in a few days.' replied Jamie and leant down to kiss Molly gently on the lips. 'Are you ready Mrs West.'

'Sure, although that name's going to take some getting used too.' Molly then took Jamie's hand in hers and together they walked into the room, and took their places at the top table.
