AN: And here is Lestrade! I'm not sure where the story is headed now... I might do a chp of them texting through-out the wedding - but I'm undecided on that.
Thank You! To everyone who has alerted/favorited the story and HUGS to everyone who has taken a moment to review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock Holmes. John Watson has that honour.

Are you going to make it to the wedding?
JW
1:12
You're really getting married? I thought it was a gag.
GL
1:13
Why is everyone so surprised?
JW
1:13
Well it's you and Sherlock – how can we not be?
GL
1:14
You guys weren't like this when you found out we got together.
JW
11:15
We thought you were together long before though.
GL
11:15
Yes – I remember.
JW
11:16
Looking back it's rather funny; don't you think?
GL
11:16
I suppose it is.
JW
11:17
I think under the word Denial in the dictionary there is a picture of you two.
GL
11:17
Hey – it wasn't denial!
JW
11:18
Really? Cause I seem to recall hearing nothing but "I'm not gay." from you.
GL
11:18
I'm not.
JW
11:20
... I've missed something apparently.
GL
11:20
I love Sherlock and I'm attracted to him – but only him – no other men. So – not gay.
JW
11:21
Guess that makes sense.
GL
11:22
Glad we've cleared that up.
JW
11:22
Yeah – Guess I should cancel the male-strip dancer I hired for your Stag party.
GL
11:23
I sincerely hope you're being sarcastic.
JW
11:23
What? Doesn't sound like fun?
GL
11:24
Need I remind you that I have a gun?
JW
11:25
Threatening an officer? Not a good idea, John.
GL
11:25
I'll take my chances.
JW
11:26
Well I was kidding – so no worries.
GL
11:26
Thank god.
JW
11:27
Mike and I would like to take you out to the pub though.
GL
11:28
Sounds good. What about Sherlock?
JW
11:28
Do you really think he'd want to tag along?
GL
11:28
Not really.
JW
11:29
Didn't think so.
GL
11:30
When do you want to go?
JW
11:31
Night before?
GL
11:31
Sounds good. I may be marrying a man, but I'll have myself a proper Stag party hang-over for the wedding!
JW
11:32
That's the spirit.
GL
11:32
Sherlock is going to hate you for this.
JW
11:33
Probably. Oh – what should I get you guys?
GL
11:33
Get us?
JW
11:34
Yeah – wedding gift?
GL
11:34
Oh! You don't need to get anything.
JW
11:35
Well I want to.
GL
11:36
I don't know – just pick something. I'll appreciate it no matter what.
JW
11:36
I like how you specified that you will appreciate it instead of say "we will appreciate it"
GL
11:37
You know how Sherlock is.
JW
11:38
Yes I do. Makes him easy to buy for though – if he never appreciates anything then you can't really go wrong.
GL
11:39
Never thought of it that way. Actually he usually appreciates what I give him.
JW
11:40
Too much information
GL
11:40
Not like that! I meant material gifts – I got him a book on bees once and he loved it.
JW
11:41
Bees?
GL
11:41
Yeah – Bees.
JW
11:42
Who knew?
GL
11:42
Well it was relevant to a case at the time – so it seemed like a good idea.
JW
11:43
Does he have any cases at the moment?
GL
11:44
Nope. He's busy experimenting with some liver and tonsils he got from Molly.
JW
11:44
Charming wedding gift.
GL
11:45
I doubt she meant it was one.
JW
11:45
I'm sure she didn't. She'll probably get you something nice for the flat.
GL
11:46
I hope not.
JW
11:46
Why?
GL
11:47
Well I just don't think her style really fits with our flat. She likes cats and pink.
JW
11:48
You don't think her style fits with the flat? Are you sure you're not gay?
GL
11:49
Shut up – you know what I mean.
JW
11:49
Not really. You're flat is such a mess I don't think anything would look out of place there.
GL
11:50
Fair enough.
JW
11:52
I've got an idea for his gift!
GL
11:52
What?
JW
11:53
I'll have a badge issued for him.
GL
11:54
A badge? Like make him official?
JW
11:54
Something like that. It won't be official – but it will look it.
GL
11:55
Are you sure that's a good idea?
JW
11:55
Better than him nicking mine all the time isn't it?
GL
11:56
Good point. He will be thrilled.
JW
11:56
Great – that's settled then. Can you get a picture of him for me?
GL
11:57
Sure – I'll send it later on today.
JW
11:58
Thanks. Mazel tov.
GL
If convenient please review; if inconvenient review anyway.
