Penelope looked over and smiled at the love of her life and smiled as the minister said, "who gives this woman away in marriage today"?, Dave stood up and said, "her family and I do" before sitting back down beside Fran and intertwining their fingers. As the ceremony continued the minister asked for the rings and JJ and Reid happily handed the rings over to the minister.
After a short prayer for the happy couple the minister said, "I understand that the two of you have written your own vows"?, they looked at each other and then back at him and said, "yes sir" in unison". He then looked at Derek and said, "Derek I need you to put the ring onto Penelopes finger and then recite your vows", he very nervously took the ring into his fingers and smiled at her.
He slid the ring onto her finger and took a deep breath and said, "Penelope, you are without a doubt the best thing that has ever happened to me, our time together means the world to me and I wouldn't trade anything for our lives together". He glanced over his shoulder and said, "I promise here in front of our family and friends that I will love you forever and ever and that the best is yet to come".
Tears streamed down his cheek as he said, "you are my guiding light, the other part of my heart, my best friend, my lover and today you become my wife, my partner and the mother to our unborn children". Penelope reached up and wiped away the tears and listened as he said, "I can't wait to grow old with you and as we watch together as our family grows".
The minister then looked at Penelope and said, "Penelope put the ring onto Dereks finger and then recite your vows", she slowly reached with her hand shaking and took it into her hand. She smiled as she slid the ring onto his finger and after taking a deep breath she looked lovingly into the love of her lifes eyes and opened her mouth and readied to say her vows.
She looked at Derek and said, "Derek, hotstuff, you are the most amazing man, you make me laugh, you make me smile and when we met my heart was broken and when I met you all of that changed". Derek smiled as she said, "you took a shattered heart and put it back together again, you mended this oracles heart and you will always be the love of my life".
After glancing over her shoulder she said, "the people that are here with us today are the most important people in my world, they are some of the best friends that anybody could ever ask for and I love them all with all my heart". She then gently squeezed Dereks hand and said, "one day when we're old and gray we'll look back at this day and smile because you will finally realize just how special you are, you Derek Morgan did the unthinkable, you unbroke a broken heart and now that heart is filled with love for you" causing him to smile.
The minister said, "if there is anyone that can show just cause why these two can't be lawfully joined in the bonds of holy matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace". After a few seconds he then said, "by the powers vested in me by this state, I now pronounce you husband and wife", he looked at the smiling couple in front of him and said, "Derek you may kiss the bride".
He pulled her into his arms and the leaned in and gently kissed her lips and the second their lips touched it was like she was tingling all over her body, Derek then wrapped his arms tighter around her as he deepened the kiss. They pulled apart to the sound of hands clapping and catcalls from their friends, Derek laughed and then claimed her lips with his again.
When they pulled apart this time the minister said, "it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Derek Morgan", once again the air was filled with the sound of hands clapping and cheering. Derek held out his hand and said, "shall we my beautiful wife"?, she giggled and said, "we shall my handsome handsome husband".
As they headed back up the aisle their friends were right behind them as they headed across the yard for their reception
