A Love That Knows No Boundaries

47.

It had been two week since Derek returned back from Peru, they were still in New York for the next 6 weeks, and they had both decided that they wanted to get married sooner, rather than wait until they were back in Seattle. Meredith was stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom, running her hand over the ivory dress that she had on, she wore the necklace and earrings that had been her mother's on her wedding day. Meredith was surprised at how calm she felt this time round, there was no doubt on her part, this was exactly where she wanted to be, and after two years it had finally come, it didn't escape her; that Derek had arranged for their third year anniversary of day they first met in Paris, Meredith was surprised it managed to pull it together so fast, she had already had the big wedding, this time she wanted it small and with the most important people in her life standing their beside her.

"Meredith" she heard Lacey behind her.

"Lace" Meredith greeted her future sister in law.

"You look beautiful Meredith"

"Thank you"

"Mom said we have to leave in 5 minutes if we want to made it to the courthouse in time"

"Okay, I'll be out in a moment" Meredith said turning back to the mirror, as Lacey walked out of the room. Meredith took a deep breath, and reached over to her small bouquet of daisies with lavender sprigs, before looking up and whispering, "I wish you were here mom and daddy"

Derek was standing in his old room in his mother house doing up his tie, it would much rather me getting ready at home with Meredith, they had agreed to forego the usual tradition of not sleeping together before the wedding until his mother and sisters practically forced him out of their apartment, insisting that Derek spent the night at his mother's house. Derek tried arguing with her but Carolyn wasn't having any of it. Derek was surprised to find that Mark and Addison had arrived from Los Angeles. Derek was finishing tying his tie; just as Mark walked in the room.

"You ready Derek?"

"More than ever, Mark" Derek said turning around to face him. "Thank you for
coming, this means a lot to me Mark"

"It's your wedding day, Derek. I wouldn't miss this for anything"

"That and the fact Addison would kick your ass"

"Yeah that too" Mark agreed with him, Derek could tell that Mark wanted to say something.

"Spit it out Sloan"

"You sure this is what you want Derek, you always said you would never marry again"

"I know Mark; but that was before I met Meredith, I can't explain it Mark but all I know is that I want to be married to her, no matter what, and after everything we have been through these past three years; I think we deserve it"

"Of course you both do...cold feet?"

"Surprisingly no...I have never been more of anything Mark"

"Well, then, let's get you to the courthouse" Mark said slapping Derek on the back.

Once arriving at the courthouse and signing the marriage certificate, Derek stands outside the judge's quarters waiting for Meredith, his mom and Lacey to arrive. Kathleen, Nancy, and Olivia were already waiting with their husbands for Meredith to arrive. Derek saw his mother first to arrive.

"Mom...where's Meredith?" Derek asked sounding panicked.

"She is here, Derek. Trust me she isn't going anywhere...you will see her when she walking towards you" Carolyn said kissing her son's cheek.
