Hank gave Erin away at the wedding. Everyone, even Jay and Erin were bored at the beginning, but the vows really hook everyone in.
Erin started with her vows.
"I honestly don't know what to say. I did have something written out but I didn't really like it. It felt like it was fake. I love you. That's how I feel. Everyday, I look into your hazel eyes and I see a future. I see our future. I see children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. I see us becoming old, and bicker like old people do. I see us. I see love. No matter where life takes me, no matter where it takes us, I know you're my rock. I know that you'll always be to the right of me. Sitting in the passenger seat, not complaining that I drive all the time. We joke a lot at work and I like that. It makes it feel like it's not all rainy days and death. Sometimes you have the good days. Sometimes you have great days, like the days where you go to the locker room and make out before going back to your desks. But those days that are bad, Jay, somehow you make them brighter. Somehow, your smile, your laugh, your eyes, you. You make everything okay, even when it's not. And I am so glad that I will have that for the rest of my life. I am so glad that I get to be yours for the rest of my life. I love you so much, Jay."
After Erin finished, Jay smiled and hugged her.
"Erin, I too had a speech that I have now thrown out. But I also have something else. So about a week ago, Nadia's father called me up. He couldn't get it contact with you so he called me. He told me that Nadia used to always wear this necklace. And he said that he knew you and Nadia were as thick as thieves and he wanted you to have it. So I drove all the way up to his house and he showed it me. But he also found so much more. He found pictures of you and her, of all of us with her. I have the necklace with me," he pulled it out of his pocket. "You probably have something borrowed, but here's another thing. I told you yesterday, Nadia is looking over you, now you have proof, now you know she is. She loved you. Almost as much as I love you. I guess my point is, no matter what curve ball life throws at us, I will be your rock. You can lean on me when you are weak. You can come to me when you are in need. I will always have your back. In work and in life. I'm always by your side and if anything ever happened to you, if anyone ever hurt you, I'd make sure justice was served. I love you and you will forever be my partner for life." Jay smiled.
It went on and on until the priest finally said the words, "you may kiss the bride."
And so they did. Erin removed the necklace she was wearing and Jay put Nadia's on her. Everyone cheered as she turned around and kissed him again.
Everyone heard this click, but no one thought anything of it.
Not until someone fell to the ground, blood spilling to the ground.
