Senior Year-Ch 48

Derek felt his heart beating faster and faster the closer Penelope got to him, he couldn't help but smile when he saw her mouth the words, "I love you handsome". Derek winked at her and mouthed the words, "I love you to baby", Penelope tightened the grip up on her daddys arm the closer they got to the front of the church.

When they finally reached the front Julio put Penelopes hand in Dereks and smiled and said, "I love you baby", she tried her best to hold back the tears as she said, "I love you to daddy". Julio then walked over and sat down beside Monica and put his hand in hers and kissed her cheek as Penelope and Derek turned to look at the preacher.

The preacher smiled as he looked down at Derek and Penelope, he looked over the crowd of people and said, "love is what brings us all together today,
the love of this man and this woman". Derek gently squeezed her hand and rubbed his thumb over the top of her hand, JJ smiled when she noticed Reid staring at her, Emily leaned in and said, "I bet you and Reid are next".

Derek smiled when the preacher said, "who gives this woman in marriage to this man today"?, Julio said, "her mother and I do", the preacher then asked for their rings. JJ and Reid handed the rings to the preacher who said, "please bow your head as I give a blessing over this wonderful couple", a few seconds later everybody bowed their heads.

The preacheer said, "please watch over this couple as they start their lives together today, they know that life has it's up's and it's downs but please bless them with love, joy and happiness throughout their lives together, Amen". He looked up and said, "I understand that the two of you wish to say your own vows is this correct"?, they look at each other and then at him and say in unison, "yes sir".

Preacher Bond said, "Derek put the ring on Penelopes finger and recite your vows to her", Derek put the ring between his fingers and slowly slid it on her finger and said, "Penelope, you are my friend, my rock, my guiding light, my lover, the mother to my unborn child and today you become my wife. She felt tears start streaming down her cheek as he took a deep breath before continuing.

He smiled at her and said, "you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, I promise to treat you like the princess you are and I will show you everyday how much I love you". Derek smiled happily at his baby girl and winked at her as she turned her head to look at the preacher.

Preacher Bond said, "Penelope put the ring on Dereks finger and recite your vows to him", Penelope slid the ring on his finger and said, "Derek, you are the love of my life, the other part of my heart and I can't imagine my life without you in it". Derek ran his thumb over the top of her hand and smiled when she said, "our lives will be filled with love, joy and happiness and I can't wait to tell you everyday how much you mean to me".

Derek smiled when the preacher said, "if there is anyone here that can show just cause why these two cannot be lawfully joined in matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace". After a few seconds he said, "by the powers vested in me by this state, I now pronounce you husband and wife",
he looked at Derek and said, "Derek you may now kiss your bride".

Derek raised her veil and leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers when they pulled apart he smiled and said, "I love you Mrs. Morgan", she wiped away a tear that was running down her cheek. She smiled and said, "I love you to Mr. Morgan", they intertwined their fingers and smiled as the preacher said, "ladies and gentlemen it is my honor to introduce to you for the first time Mr and Mrs. Derek Morgan", the room was filled with applause as Derek leaned in for another kiss.

As the happy couple looked around the room they couldn't help but smile at all of the happy smiling faces that were standing in front of them, Penelope sighed happily as she looked over at her sexy husband. Husband she loved to say that word, she had loved this man for years and she knew that he was it for her, there would never be another man for her.

Derek smiled and said, "Penelope and I want to invite everybody to please stay for the reception that is going to take place in the dining area", he then intertwined his fingers with hers and smiled as they started back up the aisle .
