"I...I'm so nervous, Spencer," you said. Your best friend took your shaky hands and wrapped your arms around himself. 

"Y/N, do you love Emily?"

"Is that even a question? Of course I do,"

"And I know for a fact she loves you, too,"

"It's not that, I...I'm just worried I'm gonna do something wrong." You could tell he'd scrunched up his face in a rare moment of confusion. "Like say something wrong, or something's gonna happen, or—"

"Y/N, nothing is gonna go wrong. This is gonna be the best day of your life,"

"I know, I just want to make sure it's Emily's, too." Spencer hugged you tightly, and you knew how much this meant. He just didn't like hugs, or much physical touch, but he knew you needed it. 

"No matter what, you and Emily are getting married today. You're gonna be together forever. Don't be worried, because Emily loves you so much."

JJ, with Emily, was giving her the same speech. Emily feared the worst, just like you, but prayed for the best.

You'd both refused to get married in a church, so Rossi, ever the generous rich fucker, absolutely shut down the idea of letting you two pay for some venue. 

Henry was the ring bearer, and you'd convinced Garcia to be the flower girl — she was ecstatic about her duties — with JJ as Emily's maid of honor and Spencer as, as Garcia called it in a term Spencer adopted, your "ever-faithful Boy Wonder". 

-

It was a very small wedding, but everyone you needed was there. Half of them were in the wedding party, anyway. 

She was the best part of you. You were reminded of that when you saw each other, both of you trying not to break down. You both reached where Rossi was — he was ordained, apparently — and looked into each other's eyes with adoration.

"You look beautiful," you whisper.

"So do you," she replies in the same whisper. Rossi was the only other one to hear it, and smiled. He started his speech.

"Dearly beloved," he said, and sighed when you and Emily glared bullets into him. "You really wanted me to say 'friends and enemies'?"

"Yes!" you and Emily both laugh. 

"Now get on with it!" your bride said. Rossi shook his head with a massive sigh.

"Friends and enemies, we're gathered here to witness the joyful marriage of Y/N Y/L/N and Emily Prentiss. How these two managed to hide their relationship from us for as long as they did still remains a mystery, but I've hardly seen two people more perfect for one another. I'm keeping this brief, because, as Emily put it, 'Dave, please don't drag this out for a thousand years, but don't make it like your Vegas wedding where you were in and out of the chapel in five minutes.'" We all laughed. "These two are...remarkably professional at work, but it's always clear how deeply they care for one another. While we, as friends, did not get to watch them fall in love, we can see the intensity with which they love each other now. You've each prepared your vows. Y/N?"

You take Emily's hands, and you can feel the sweat on her palms. She sniffles and smiles at you in anticipation.

"Emily...I honestly...I didn't know anything about love until you showed me what it was. I don't think you intended to teach me as much as you have and continue to do, but everything I am, I am because of you. I need to show you how happy you make me, how you've loved me more than I thought anyone ever could love me, and I swear that I will spend my days trying to show it. I adore you, Emily, and nothing I could ever say will suffice because my love for you is immeasurable and would take an eternity to begin to explain. I want to prove how much I love your mind, and your body, and your soul, because you're absolutely perfect. You don't ever believe me when I tell you that, though, so I promise to make you see just how wonderful you are. I need you, Emily, and I will spend the rest of my life loving you until I think I can't anymore. And when that time comes, I will continue to love you because nothing, nothing could ever stop me. You're the sunlight streaming in through the rainclouds, you're...my solace. And I will do anything to show you the extent to which I am completely in love with you, Emily Prentiss."

You had been drying her tears throughout, ignoring your own. 

"And Emily?" She sighed to collect herself and nodded.

"Y/N. My love. I've never loved someone the way I love you. I wish you knew, because there's no way you could comprehend it. You give me life, you make me want to be a better person. Every time you kiss me, or give me a stupid little smile, or tell me that you think I'm beautiful, I feel whole. You're so thoughtful, and your care and compassion and love for me are never in question, and if you could see into my thoughts you would know that. Because honey, you make me feel like I'm worthy of love and compassion. We've both gone through so much pain, but you show me that I'm complete and that I deserve to be loved, and God, do you love me. Through everything. You deserve to be loved, too, sweetheart, and I'm so glad to be the one who loves you. I am going to devote the rest of my life to you, I have to show you how loved you are because there are no words in any language that could ever explain the intense fire burning in my heart for you. I will always love you, darling, and nothing will ever change that. Spending the rest of my life with you, Y/N, is the only way I could ever see it going. I'm ecstatic to see what our future holds and to be the one who gets to hold you and make you, for eternity, as happy as you make me."

There was not a dry eye in the place, not even Hotch. Rossi pulled a tissue out of his pocket and wiped his eyes, before continuing his duties. You were crying like a baby, and Emily just wanted to kiss you and hug you to stabilize you again.

"Well, with that, I think our young Henry has the rings?" Rossi beckoned. Henry handed you each a ring to give to the other. 

"Thanks, buddy," you said to him softly. He smiled and went over to stand with his godfather — Garcia and JJ were behind Emily, and the boys behind you— and JJ looked at him proudly.

"You guys ready?" Rossi asked. You both smiled. "Y/N Y/L/N, do you take Emily Prentiss to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do," you say through tears. You slip the ring onto Emily's finger, and she chuckles to stop the tears. Fuck, it's really not working, is it?

"And Emily Prentiss, do you take Y/N Y/L/N to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"Of course I do." She puts the ring on your finger and kisses the back of your hand.

"Alright, then by the power vested in me, by the Commonwealth of Virginia, I now pronounce you lawfully wedded wives! You may each kiss the bride!"

You were married. All was right for a moment, in the kiss that melted away all but you and Emily and the pure bliss in your souls, intertwined and rejoicing between you.
