NCIS ~ I Will Love You Thru Everything

chapter 44

**a few months later**

The wedding day was finally here! Ziva stood with her eyed closed in front of a full length mirror. Abby's voice came from behind her, telling her not to peek, and she heard the sound of a zipper and rustling fabric. Finally, Abby whispered, "Oh, Ziva.." Ziva opened her eyes. She was speechless. Her wedding drrss was long and white. Abby had done her hair perfectly, letting the veil complete the whole ensemble.

Ziva stared at herself and slowly turned to face Abby. Abby's eyes were filled with tears. Ziva reached for a hug. "Abby, don't cry.."

Abby sniffled. "You've made Tony complete, and you're happy. I've never seen two people more perfect for each other," she whispered. Ziva struggled not to tear up as well.

    

There was a knock on the door, and the wedding coordinator poked her head thru. She smiled when she saw Ziva.

Ziva walked up to the door. She trembled as she heard the chords of the.music drifting thru. She glanced up to see Gibbs smiling. He woild be walking her down the aisle. When she walked thru, Tony would see her im her dress for the first time. Even tho they had only invited friends and family, no extras, there was still a large crowd of people that would be looking at her.

The doors opened..

Ziva took Gibbs elbow and they walked thru the petal strewn floor. She slowly looked up at Tony. What she saw stunned her..

tony's hand covered his mouth, and a tear was rolling down his cheek. He looked at her and his chest rose and fell rapidly.  As Gibbs let go of her and she stood to face Tony, the minister began the vows. She repeated the normal ones, but she and tony had added their own. "I, Ziva..promise to love you with all that I have."..

"I, Anthony Dinozzio..promise to cherish you forever.."

Tony's hand tightened on Ziva's as he repeated the last vow. "I, Tony..promise, under all circumstances, to love you through everything."

The minister backed away. "You may now kiss the bride!" he announced.

Tony's hands slid around her waist. He drew her in, and gently kissed her. Ziva's hands held Tony's face.

After a few moments, they slowly opened their eyes to each other. Tony looked straight into Ziva's eyes. "I will always love you like this," he murmured. He took her hand amd together they faced everyone with smiles on their faces.

Ducky beamed at them. Jenny glanced at Gibbs, a look in her eyes that made him shiver slightly. Gibbs had a feeling that they had been seated together on purpose.

Ziva and Tony mingled with everyone at the reception, giving hugs and accepting congratulations. Finally the last song of the night began on the dance floor. 'Wanted' by Hunter Hayes, the first song they had ever damced to, spilled out of the speakers. Ziva rested her head on Tony's shoulder as they swayed back and forth, getting lost. It was the perfect way to end the reception.
