"They say you marry your father

I hope that don't reflect on me

They say you marry your mother

I hope that don't put you in her company

I am in love

I am in love

And I am a fool

There is no other

I am in love

I am in love"

- I am in Love, from Afterglow, 1999 (but written much earlier)

Imagine if Booth and Brennan were "one of those couples" in those little vignettes in 'When Harry Met Sally?' I thought we might have a little fun with this one. Just imagine the interaction between them in your head, and don't forget the long, lingering looks... ;)

It also made me realise what a completely ridiculous series of life events they've had! Only on a TV show...

Off screen producer: - "Roll the tape... So, can you tell us about your wedding?"

"You want us to just talk for a little?"

- Please.

"Do you need specifics?"

- Whatever you like.

"Well, we didn't wait around long."

"Just the nine years, Booth, although that doesn't include the year when we first met and I couldn't stand the sight of you after our first case."

No, I mean, once we were engaged, we had the wedding pretty quickly.

"That's true. It was a beautiful wedding. Angela exceeded expectations."

"Yeah. I couldn't keep my eyes off you. You looked stunning. Took my breath away, but then, you've been doing that for a long time."

"Nor I, You. You were very handsome. I mean, you are always very well structured, but you were dressed in a tuxedo on our wedding day, you looked very alluring."

Who's Angela?

"My dearest friend. I'd known her for about 10 years back then."

"She's a good person, although I was annoyed with her for taking over the planning at the time... but she came good."

"So when the church burned down, she came up with a plan to have us married in the garden in the Jeffersonian. Booth thought she'd convinced me to have us wear pseudo-tribal ritualistic wedding headdresses."

The church burned down?!

"Erm, yeah. I was joking about the headdress thing by the way."

"Booth is convinced that my deceased mother didn't approve of the marriage, and the candle he and my dad let for her caused the church to burn down. I know it's preposterous because aside from the fact that the authorities confirmed that it could have been any of the candles already alight that caused the blaze, my mother would have loved Booth and there is no way she'd have tried to prevent our getting married, by supernatural means or otherwise. I would never make you wear a headdress to get married, Booth."

"Thanks Bones."

"I am only telling the truth, Booth. You are a very good man."

"Well, you are a remarkable woman."

"We're a remarkable team. Highest solve rate in the history of the FBI homicide investigations, any era."

"Highest solve rate, always makes me proud. I have cuttings."

- How about the ceremony?

"It was quite traditional, but then it wasn't."

"I wore ivory, which is common in the majority of modern brides who are not virgins before they get married."

"We have a daughter. She was two then."

"We wrote our own vows. I actually wrote mine when I was trapped in a car underground by a serial killer. Although I didn't know they would be my vows at the time."

"...But they were beautiful words."

"Well I am a published writer of many best-selling novels, I would hope to get that right. But it pleases me that you liked them.

"I loved them. I had mine all ready, wrote them a week before, but when I saw you standing in front of me, I tore them up. I spoke from the heart."

"You were very romantic. I spoke from my mouth."

"You always do, Bones."

"And then we kissed. Once we'd established with Aldo-"

"-My former priest in the military-"

"-That it was OK for Booth to kiss me. I knew already of course."

"She knows a lot about a lot."

- And after?

"After the ceremony, there was a buffet. Even though Bones is vegan, we had pigs in a blanket. God's food. It was a very varied selection."

"Well, it's important to be flexible in a marriage."

"Especially on your wedding night, heh heh."

"Yes, that was particularly satisfactory. I especially enjoyed it when we engaged in-"

"- I don't think they need to know about that part."

"Oh."

"I was joking."

"But it's true."

"Yes, it is."

"I find that I would like to re-enact that with you later."

"Are we done?"

Reviews, as always, much appreciated.
