     "I can have the getaway car ready in one minute, tops," Dad said as I walked up to him. I laughed and smiled at him.

     "There's no need for a getaway car, Dad. I love him, remember?" I said, taking his arm.

"Right, right." He said. I looked at his black suit as we turned towards the sanctuary doors.

"Did I tell you that you look dashing in your suit?" I said, teasingly.

He sighed and rolled his eyes. I giggled, but when I looked at him, his eyes were pointed up.

"Oh, Dad," I said when I realized he was trying to stop the tears from falling.

I turned towards him and wrapped my arms around him,

"Sorry, sorry. I'm just old and senile." He said, his arms wrapped around my shoulders. He pushed me back suddenly, holding me by the arms.

"Look at you." He said, scanning my dress. I had on a simple square neck dress, the length ending around my ankles. My hair was pulled up into a loose bun, tendrils falling all around.

"You're so beautiful. I've got the most amazing daughter in the whole world." He said, a tear falling. My own tears fell as we looked at each other.

"Alright pull it together, you're going to ruin your makeup." He said, wiping my tears.

Music started playing in the church, which was our cue. The doors opened and we turned quickly towards the aisle. I took Dad's arm and took a deep breath.

"Don't let me fall, Dad," I said, shakily.

"I wouldn't dream of it." He whispered back.

I took one step in front of the other, looking down the aisle at my future.

Aaron stood there in a black suit, his hands crossed in front of him nervously fiddling. Reid and Morgan stood behind him, and Jack was at his side.

Across from them stood Prentiss, Garcia, and JJ. I skimmed the room quickly, my eyes falling back on Aaron.

When Dad and I got halfway down the aisle, he whispered, "The getaway car still stands."

I laughed, my eyes not leaving Aarons. Walking down the aisle felt like an eternity, my hands eagerly waiting to join with Aarons.

Dad kissed me on the cheek and hugged Aaron, and my hands were finally together.

"We are gathered here today," the priest began. I didn't listen, I stared into Aaron's eyes.

Eventually, "you may kiss the bride." Was spoken, and Aaron dipped me before kissing my lips in front of both our families.

We were married.

Aaron took my hand and led us down the center aisle out of the doors of the church. The second we were outside, he picked me up and swung me around.

"I love you." He said as he put me down. His lips crashed down on mine.

"Alright, I've got the booze," Morgan said as he walked out the front doors.

"I'll drive," Reid said.

"And I'll party," Garcia said.

I broke our kiss and looked into his eyes. He gave me a big smile before turning towards the car and leading me into it.

"You look so good in a suit," I said, pulling his tie as Aaron started to drive.

He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "I can't wait until it's on the floor." My cheeks reddened, even though there was no one in the car but us.

Jack and I bounced up and down on the dance floor hand in hand as we sang at each other. Morgan and Garcia were next to us keeping it more PG than usual, and JJ was dancing with Prentiss on our other side.

Aaron came up to Jack and picked him up.

"Can I borrow my bride for a minute?" Aaron asked Jack as he swung him around.

"Only if you bring her back," Jack said, out of breath. Aaron set Jack down and took my hand, leading me out the back door.

We walked onto a stone patio, but he kept leading me through the grass. It was dark and I could barely see anything, I was tripping over my feet.

He stopped and turned towards me, placing his hands around my waist. I pulled my arms up around his neck and we started swaying to the soft music that flowed out from the building.

"Had to make sure no one was watching to dance with me?" I asked, smiling.

"No, I wanted to dance with you under the stars." He said, looking up.

The view took my breath away. You could so clearly see the Milky Way, there was barely any light pollution.

My stars twinkled and shined above us, a moonless and cloudless night making them shine bright.

I looked back at Aaron, his eyes on me.

"I love you," I said, my heart swelling.

"I love you too."

We swayed to the music, my eyes drifting between the stars and the love of my life.
