Ianto paced back and forth "I'm gonna die... tosh do you hear me I'm GOING TO DIE" he yelled to his friend, who was watching him patiently. "Ianto you're getting married not fighting deadly aliens" she informed him sauntering over and gently straightening his suit. "ALIENS" he exclaimed frantically making tosh jump "what if they ruin our wedding... they ruined gwens ..." he babbled. Tosh sighed "ianto they aren't going to ruin your wedding... okay? Do I need to go and get your sister to calm you down". "NO noooooo" the frantic groom to be exclaimed shaking his head and holding his index finger out towards tosh to show he was serious.

"OWEN I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DONT SHUT UP I WILL SHOOT YOU" jack yelled putting a hand on his gun to prove a point. Owen raised his hands in surrender "okay okay damn calm down all I said was he's not going to leave you standing at the alter". "Look jack" Gwen piped up from the corner of the room ".... what are you doing" she took a detour from her sentence as she watched jack fumble with a bow tie. "I can't do it" he announced giving up. "Well don't look at me" gwen and Owen announced in unison. "There's a reason I wear my ties undone like this" Owen grumbled. "You look good though" came tosh's voice from the doorway. They turned. She was stood behind an amused looking ianto "I knew you wouldn't be able to tie that" he smirked gesturing to the tie. "B-but we aren't supposed to see each other until..." jack whined trailing off when ianto stepped closer "oh shush that's a bride and a groom now let me tie your tie" his practiced hands began to tie the bow tie deftly and with care. As ianto took a step back to admire his handiwork jack took in the view. Ianto had removed his blazer, showing his waistcoat. It was jack's favourite. The waistcoat looked fairly boring from the front, black pinstripe. However the back was the most brilliant Scarlett satin that almost glinted in the light as ianto moved. Underneath this, ianto was wearing a crisp white shirt complete with a red silk tie around his neck. Underneath that? Well let's just say that was for jack eyes only.

"I now pronounce you man and husband... you may kiss the groom". It felt odd, to ianto, to be kissing in front of so many people yet it felt oddly refreshing plus he did love kissing jack. Soon enough they were making their way to a large hall for the meal. The guests were rather surprised to see a traditional looking white and gold 5 tier wedding cake: they would not have expected that from jack and ianto. The meal went smoothly... until it came to Owens best man speech. "I Uh ... shit" his cards scattered to the floor "sooo... jack is a ...man ... evidently Uhm no he's a good man ... a great man. And ianto is also ... that ... sometimes anyway. They love each other .. I mean I hope unless ianto just wanted a promotion.." he paused frowning "yeah that jokes not appropriate for a wedding... OH tosh is that why you crossed it out?!" Tosh hid her face in her hands in embarrassment as Owen carried on "so these.. gays- GUYS! I am so sorry... I miss spoke. They're ..... great together and alone... not that jack should be left alone or the hu- OUR OFFICE would be destroyed" this earned Owen at least one laugh... even if it was from tosh "what I'm trying to say is these two .. humans ... mortal humans ... are great and they deserve each other thank you listening have a great night." He hurriedly sat back in his seat and glanced at rhys giving him a 'help!' Look. Rhys rose to his feet as he also rose his glass "to jack and ianto" he announced. Echos of 'jack and Ianto' filled the room.

Finally it was evening. Time for the party. The one thing they were all good at. As the guests entered the hall for the second time they gasped in surprised delight. The hall that had once been decked in white was now covered in black and red giving it a sophisticated air. The cake had been turned around and the guests now realised that it had two sides. White and boring for the day but for the night... this side of the cake was covered in black fondant and decked with gold brushed red fondant roses. The guests did think it odd however that there seemed to be a small pteranodon modelled out of rice crispy treats and modelling chocolate dangling a fondant, golden stopwatch from its beak as it guarded the base of the tiered cake. "Is that myfanwy!" Owen yelled you jack over the music. Jack just smirked and shrugged leaving Owen to inspect the sweet, edible pteranodon further. The cake itself was, of course, red velvet. Ianto's choice.

As they had the first dance of the night ianto leaned close to jack's ear "thank you" he murmured as others joined them on the dance floor. "What for" jack murmured into the welshman's neck. "I dunno marrying me" ianto murmured back in reply. Jack let out a low chuckled as they continued to dance "you ever gonna tell them?" he asked tilting his head towards Rhiannon and her kids. "Tell them what...? that I'm immortal like my boss slash husband...?? maybe one day.. eventually.... it might shock them though." He whispered into jack's ear. "Well I've got some news that will probably shock them too... you might even freak out a little" Jack confessed quietly as they rocked to the music. The captain felt the welshman's hands running comforting circles on his sides "tell me".
"I was gonna wait until our honeymoon but .... Ianto... I-I'm pregnant". Ianto stepped back from him and for one terrible moment jack thought it had all gone wrong. Except ianto was beaming "for real?" He asked over the music tears glistening in his eyes, jack nodded. He felt himself being pulled into a fiery kiss. Ianto, meanwhile, was feeling electrified. He always knew there was a possibility with jack being from the 51st century and all that but he never thought it would actually happen. Ianto truly did believe in happy endings but this was not one. It was just the beginning.
