A/N: Happy wedding day! So, no lyrics to begin because the song that started this whole story that inspired me to write it is contained in this chapter. I changed some of the lyrics to have it make sense, but when I heard that song it just made me think of this love story about a girl that would be in love with Spencer and how he fit the profile(ha ha ha) of the song. So here it is! Wedding day! I know theres a lot of things that could be in here that I left out but I didn't want this chapter to be 1000000 years long and theres cases and… other things that I'll need to get to !
Caitlyn was awakened by arms wrapping around her waist, without opening her eyes she smiled and let out a sleepy groan.
"Goodmorning." she whispered as Spencer kissed the back of her head, smelling her hair. Caitlyn's heart felt like it was going to explode, yes that was one of the most awful days thinking that she was going to lose him but now they were engaged. She turned around to face him and finally opened her eyes, she loved that his face was the first thing that she was seeing in the morning.
"Goodmorning, I'm definitely going to have Dysania today." he said.
"What?" Caitlyn giggled.
"Dysania is the state of finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning, and you're definitely making it even worse doing that." Spencer informed her as Caitlyn kissed his neck.
"Sorry, but unfortunately we have to. But good thing we have every single day for the rest of our lives to wake up with each other." Caitlyn said, running her finger over the wedding ring on her finger. Spencer leaned over on top of her and pushed her hair out of her eyes, staring deeply into them when they heard a knock at the door.
"Who the hell is knocking on our door this early in the morning? What if we were sleeping?" Caitlyn asked, sitting up and grabbing a bathrobe and tying the tie around her waist as she walked over to the door. When she flung it open she thought she was dreaming, in the doorway were Garcia, JJ and Prentiss.
"What are you guys doing here…?" Caitlyn asked looking at Spencer who had sat up in the bed and was grinning from ear to ear.
"What's going on?" she asked again when Garcia ran into their apartment and pulled Caitlyn into her arms.
"Ahhhh! I can't believe that you guys are engaged! I wanted to congratulate you the second that I found out but there was so much to do and it was so cute and there is just so much love that I'm going to explode with happy." Garcia said quickly.
"But we haven't told…how did…" Caitlyn said still confused and trying to figure out what was going on, she had just woken up and this was way hard to figure out without any caffeine. It was as if Prentiss was reading her mind as she handed her a large latte.
"Reid told us as soon as you said yes." Prentiss filled her in as Caitlyn sipped the foam off the top.
"He also told us that he didn't want to wait, so we kind of threw something together." JJ smiled.
"So that means that we're here to kidnap you and get you ready to marry that genius over there!" Garcia said grabbing Caitlyn by her wrist.
"What!" Caitlyn said looking over at Spencer who had gone from smiling in bed to laughing at Caitlyn's panic.
"Now say goodbye, you'll see him at the altar." Garcia said pulling her out of the apartment.
"Garcia I'm in my bathrobe and slippers!" Caitlyn objected looking at Spencer as she was pulled into her apartment hallway.
"It's fine it doesn't matter!"

Caitlyn had never been so nervous in her whole entire life. Once they had gotten her into the car, Caitlyn threw on some clothes from Prentiss' go bag that were in the trunk. All of the girls went to a small mom and pop dress store. The three women wouldn't really discuss any details of the wedding with her, no matter how hard she tried.
"I can't believe you guys are getting married." JJ said as Caitlyn was in the dressing room to change.
"Yeah, this is definitely surreal." Caitlyn said, fumbling with the dress she was trying on.
"What are you going to say for your vows?" Emily asked, Caitlyn froze.
"Fuck."
"I take that as you don't know what you're going to say." she heard Prentiss chuckle.
"I'm a bad public speaker… I do have this song that I wrote about how in love I was with him like, two weeks after knowing him." Caitlyn mumbled, she heard Garcia gasp.
"That's what you have to do, you have to sing it." Garcia said. Caitlyn played around with the idea in her brain.
"I guess." Caitlyn said as she stepped out with the wedding dress on.
"Wow." All the three said in unison. Caitlyn looked at herself in the mirror and for once didn't have anything to say. The dress wasn't long, it stopped right before her knees and was a white lace. The neckline plunged down, and there were lace sleeves that went down her arms.
"You look beautiful in that." JJ said, her eyes wide.
"We can just pull up your hair, I saw a really nice sparkly headband over there that we could work in, you'd look like a princess." Garcia said.
"Are you sure? It's not a long wedding dress and I… no you guys are right I do look good in this." Caitlyn gleamed. It was starting to get close to sundown and the three were apparently on a schedule. Caitlyn purchased the wedding dress and a pair of white pumps, every minute wondering what Spencer was doing and where she was going to be getting married at. Caitlyn was taken back to Garcia's house where she took a shower and sat down like a doll waiting to be dressed and readied. Garcia dried Caitlyn's hair and curled it before putting it up and adding the headband while JJ did her makeup and Emily was on anxiety control. The three helped her into her dress and stood back all smiling ear to ear as they took in the finished product. Caitlyn turned to look in the mirror and started to tear up.
"What's wrong?! Don't tell me you're getting cold feet." Emily said.
"No. No. I've never been so sure. Just… thank you guys so much." Caitlyn said, opening her arms.
"Yay! Group hug!" Garcia cheered.

Caitlyn's hands started to shake of nervousness as she stood, waiting to walk down the aisle. The team had decorated an Italian restaurant that Rossi invested in with an outside lake view, the inside was adorned with flowers and full of catering. The outside, which Caitlyn had yet to see what they decorated the outside like.
"Are you ready?" Caitlyn heard, looking up to see Rossi in a suit. He opened his arms and Caitlyn gave him a hug, he kissed her on the cheek.
"Yeah." Caitlyn said nodding her head.
"You look beautiful." he said, holding her hands in his and looking at her.
"Thank you, and thank you for letting us use this place." Caitlyn thanked him.
"You're welcome, I just wanted to make sure that you were okay. I hadn't gotten to talk to you since you were questioning your future, and I just wanted to make sure that you were still here and wouldn't be pulling a runaway bride." Rossi joked, Caitlyn fake laughed.
"Ha ha. I'm definitely ready." Caitlyn nodded.
"Alright, I'll give them the green light then. Just go when you here the music. See ya, Robertson."
"Not for much longer." Caitlyn grinned as he walked away. She waited behind the corner of the hallway. She had promised not to peek and not to walk down the hallway and outside until it was time. When she heard the music begin she took in a slow deep breath and let it out and began to walk down the hallway and turn the corner. She was taken aback by how beautiful the outside looked. The lake was shining with the lights that were put up, on the damp grass was a beautiful aisle made of white rose petals. Caitlyn looked at the sides, she saw her whole team all dressed up and looking beautiful. Caitlyn's mother was there, she was crying and holding onto her brother. Caitlyn looked and saw more people that she knew from the bureau and Spencer's parents. Finally Caitlyn looked up and saw Spencer standing at the end of the aisle in a black tux with a bow tie. He was standing with his hands crossed and she saw him take a gasp of air when he finally saw her. She wanted to run down the aisle to him, but she walked slowly, smiling so hard that she thought her cheeks were going to pop. When she finally got to the end of the aisle the music stopped and she started tearing up as Spencer took her hand and the preacher began to speak. Caitlyn never took her eyes off of him as he went through the sermon.
"And now, the vows." the preacher said, and Spencer cleared his throat.
"Saying that today is the best day of my life would be a lie. Because ever since I have met you, everyday has been better than the last. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I know a lot, I'm a genius. But you've taught me things that I never even thought to imagine. You make me want to be a better man, you make me feel like I can do anything and I love you with every fiber of my being. We're on a team but you are my partner. Every cell in my body loves you, every minute that I'm not with you is spent counting down the seconds until we're back together. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, I can't wait to be the one who makes you coffee in the morning and gets you out of bed even if you're not the best when it's early," the crowd of people watching the sermon laughed at his joke, and so did Caitlyn who was trying not to bawl as he said his vows to her, he continued, "I'm going to make sure that you're happy and I can't wait to start this adventure and learn even more from you." Caitlyn squeezed his hand when she realized it was her turn.
"I'm trying so hard not to cry and ruin my make up." Caitlyn laughed, wiping her eyes. "I didn't really have vows to say planned, I kind of was going to make it up later. But I never thought that I would be here, but I am so happy that I am. And I love you more than anything in the whole world." Spencer smiled and Caitlyn saw his eyes getting misty as the sermon finished.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."
Spencer grabbed her face in his hands and kissed her lightly as everyone in the crowd stood and clapped.

"Congratulations you two." Rossi said.
"You look great," Hotch complimented.
"She does." Spencer said looking at her as Caitlyn thanked Hotch. Garcia walked up to the newly forming group, holding Derek on the arm and a tissue in her hand.
"That was so beautiful." Garcia sniffed.
"Now we have two Reids. I thought that just one was enough, but congratulations." Derek said, putting his hand on Spencer's shoulder who hadn't stopped smiling since the beginning of the ceremony. Caitlyn heard a microphone squeak from the stage, and Emily tapped the mouth piece.
"Hi. I'm Emily, the Maid of Honor. So I have a duty. I just want to give a toast. To Caitlyn and Spencer. You two work in a way that is so incredible. It gives me hope, and it's inspiring that through all the awful things we see everyday you two are able to make something beautiful. And I hope it never ends. Um, I want to call Caitlyn up here, she has some vows to do." Emily said, holding up a glass of champagne. Caitlyn looked at Spencer and kissed him and went up to the stage where she picked up a guitar that was propped up from the live band that was playing the music. She plucked some of the strings before she started speaking, looking at the faces that were watching her. Her mom, Spencer's, the team's.
"So, I write songs. I always have and always will. And I don't know if any of you know that I sing. Spencer's probably heard me in the shower, I know Derek has heard me rap in the car." Caitlyn laughed, still lightly playing on the strings, "and when I was thinking about my vows, and since Spencer asked me to marry him I've been thinking about the beginning, and not the end. And I thought about how me and Spencer began, four years ago. And then I remembered that I wrote this song, two weeks after I met him, about how in love with him I was. I wrote about how I was so love struck, and now four years later he's my husband. And now this is the beginning for us, a new one. And I wanted to sing this here for you." she finished. She began to play the first chords of the verse, Spencer was looking up at her and she kept her eyes right on him.
"Alright, I'm really nervous so I'm just going to stare at you." she said into the mic, looking at Spencer as she began to sing.
"Tall, dark and super man
He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away
To save the world or go to work
It's the same thing to me
He's got his mother's eyes, a lion's ambition
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him
I hang on every word you say
You'll smile and say "How are you?"
And I'll say, "Just fine"
I always forget to tell you I love you
I'll love you forever
I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world
I'll be around
I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
Tall, dark and beautiful
He's complicated, he's so rational
But I hope someday he'll take me away
And save the day, yeah
Something in his deep brown eyes has me saying
He's not all good like his reputation
And I can't hear one single word they say
And you'll leave, got places to be
And I'll be okay
I always forget to tell you I love you
I loved you from the very first day
I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world
I'll be around
And I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
And I watch you fly around the world
And I hope you don't chase another girl
Don't forget, don't forget about me
I'm far away, but I'll never let you go
I'm lovestruck and looking out the window
Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be
Right here wishing the flowers were from you
Wishing the card was from you
Wishing the call was from you
'Cause I've loved you from the very first day
I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world
I'll be around forever and ever
I watched Superman fly away
I swear, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
Come back down"
When she finished she got off the stage and ran into Spencer's arms, he kissed her and they had their first dance as Mr. and Mrs. Reid. Once their first dance was over, they all drank and celebrated. It wasn't all the time that they could all be together and be so light hearted.
Caitlyn stood outside, Spencer was talking with his mom and she held a glass of champagne in her hand as she looked over the lake. Lifting her face up to the sky she closed her eyes and let out a big sigh of relief, a smile on her face.
"Am I interrupting anything?" Caitlyn heard someone ask from behind her. She turned to see Emily walking up behind her.
"No, just kind of taking it all in. I think this may be the happiest I've ever been and ever will be. I don't want it to end." Caitlyn answered. Emily looked at her friend, she didn't want to ruin this day for her.
"I…I just wanted to say that you sounded really good. And I'm really happy for you." Emily lied. She wasn't going to tell her that she was in trouble, yet.
"Cait! I need to get a few pictures of you and Spencer!" Diana called, already having Spencer her grip and a camera in her hand.
"Duty calls." Caitlyn smiled.
"I'll talk to you when you get back from your honeymoon." Emily hugged her.
"Honeymoon!?" Caitlyn grinned.
"Yeah, you're going to London."
"Oh NO WAY! Spencer!" Caitlyn squealed running to her new husband.
