Rose pushed the door open and stepped outside into the small chapel. Pete was standing at the end of the walkway. She joined him and they linked arms. They slowly proceeded down the aisle, the small group of guests smiling and a few, like Jackie, were sobbing silently. Rose tried to keep a calm face and looked towards the end of the church where the Doctor was waiting in front of the altar, beaming. Standing next to him was his best man, "Captain" Jack Harkness who saluted her.

She couldn't help but smile as she saw the Doctor's face. He looked so happy and it made her happy just to see him like that. In just a little bit, their forever would begin.

As Rose and Pete reached the end of the aisle, the music faded out and the old priest called out, "Who gives this woman to be with this man?"

Pete cleared his throat and said, "Her mother and I."

The priest nodded and Pete left her side to sit in his seat next to Jackie. The Doctor held out his hand and helped Rose step up onto the platform. Behind her, Martha and Donna were standing there, ecstatic. Martha gave her a thumbs up.

Rose grinned and turned back towards the Doctor. The priest began his speech. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today for the union of Rose Tyler and the Doctor as one, together..."

Rose tuned out for most of the speech. She'd been to enough weddings before to pretty much know most of what he was saying. The Doctor was gazing into her eyes and she was gazing into his. Even thought they spoke no words, they both knew what the other was thinking.

Rose barely even noticed what was going on until she heard the Doctor say, "Oh, yes." She smiled.

"Way to be traditional, Doctor," she thought. She snapped back to reality when she heard the priest say, "...Rose Tyler, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do," she whispered.

They slipped the wedding bands onto each other's fingers and the priest prayed over them, blessing their life together, and then he said, "Doctor, you may kiss your bride."

The Doctor took Rose's delicate veil in his hands and slowly flipped it over her head. Then they leaned in and touched their lips together. The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but to them it felt like an eternity. It was full of passion, every feeling they'd been holding back from each other since their fates first crossed.

Finally they pulled apart and just held each other. Rose was smiling up at him with her tongue poking through her teeth. He grinned back.

Finally, the priest exclaimed, "I now declare you man and wife!"

The audience stood up and burst into applause as the wedding bells tolled and the Doctor and Rose ran down the aisle hand in hand. The rest of the wedding party followed soon after.

Right outside the double doors of the chapel, a brand new car with "Allons-y!" painted across the back window was waiting. Rose burst into laughter. "It's TARDIS blue!" she exclaimed.

"Yes, it is. Took quite a while to find one with the right shade, too," the Doctor answered.

He stepped around the car to the passenger side and opened the door for Rose. Gathering her dress up, Rose got into the car. The Doctor came around and got into the driver's seat.

As he put the key in the ignition, the wedding guests poured out of the doors and threw confetti at the car as it pulled out of the drive. The Doctor had one hand on the wheel and the other resting in Rose's hand as they drove out of the parking lot towards the setting sun.

this chapter is a bit short, but there's more coming so don't forget about this story yet! ;)
