Chapter 51.

Epilogue

The day of June 16 dawned clear and perfect. Cory took her time in waking up, realizing that she would need every moment of peace she could get before getting ready for Lindsay's wedding. She rolled over in her bed and stared at Danny, who was sleeping peacefully beside her. He had moved in with her about a month earlier, saying that it was just easier since he spent all of his time there anyway.

Carefully she got out of bed and began to get ready. She put on a button up shirt and a pair of jeans. She had picked up her bridesmaid dress the week before, so she started gathering her accessories for it.

All of the women had matching dresses, but hers was a different color since she was the maid of honor. Hers was an aquamarine, while the rest of the bridesmaid's dresses were a pale green.

Just as she had finished getting her make-up, jewelry and shoes together, she heard Danny sigh. She smiled. He had gotten home from the bachelor's party at about four in the morning. She walked softly into bedroom. "Mornin', sweetie. How's your head?"

Danny groaned. "Do you have to talk so loud?"

Cory stifled the urge to laugh. "Sweetie, I'm barely whispering. I made you some coffee, but I really have to leave now. Please make sure Flack is at the church on time!"

Danny grunted and nodded to her. "Okay. What time is it?"

"A little before nine. Our hair appointments start at eleven, so I have to go pick everyone up. Y'all have to be at the church by five. The wedding starts at six. Trust me; you don't want to mess with a woman or her bridesmaids on her wedding day. Lindsay's likely to kill you if you are even two minutes late. Don't forget, we know how to hide the body!"

Danny just laughed as he watched her gather her things and leave.

(The hairdresser's)

Cory led Stella, Lindsay and Julie into the upscale salon. "Don't worry. Sebastian is the best when it comes to hair! My hair girl in Dallas gave me his number when she found out I was moving. I've been here a couple of times and he is great. His boyfriend is the one that is going to do our make-up."

The other three women were silent as she led them through the maze of hallways to a small room in the back. Cory knocked on the door then went in. "Hey, Sebastian! How's life treatin' ya?"

The drop-dead gorgeous blonde in the room looked up as she walked in. "Hey. If it isn't my favorite FBI agent! Life is fab. How's yours goin'? Move in with your hottie yet?"

Cory blushed slightly. "Yeah. He moved in with me last month. I'd like to introduce you to everyone. Okay, here's Lindsay. She the bride. This is her sister, Julie." Cory pointed to the woman who looked a lot like Lindsay, only with blonde hair. "And this is Stella."

Sebastian looked over the women. "Man. If I was straight, you three would be in so much trouble! I've never seen cops who look this good. Why can't you guys pull me over when I'm speeding?" He grinned.

The other women felt at ease with him immediately. He looked at them. "So what are we doing with your hair?"

Lindsay thought for a moment. "I want all my bridesmaids to have up-dos. Mine, I don't know. It just needs to look good both under the veil and by itself, since I won't be wearing the veil at the reception."

Sebastian looked at her. "Why don't you look through these magazines and see if you see anything you like. You did bring your veil, right?" At Lindsay nod yes, he continued. "I'll work on everyone else first and we'll save you for last."

Sebastian gestured to Julie first. He quickly went to work on her shoulder length hair, putting hot rollers in her hair to curl it. Then he gestured to Stella. "You, my dear, have gorgeous hair. Let's see. I'll do both your hair and Julie's hair the same way, except I don't have to curl yours. Cory? Didn't you say something about you guys having flowers in your hair?"

Cory nodded and opened up a paper sack she had brought in. "It's just baby's breath. I brought plenty, I hope." She withdrew the flowers from the sack and set them on the counter.

Sebastian nodded and began to work on Stella's hair. He pulled it back from her face, leaving a few stray curls. Then he began twisting it into individual curls and pinning those into place. It took him about thirty minutes to pin all of it back, adding the baby's breath last. He did the same to Julie's hair.

Once their hair was done, he looked at Cory. "You, my dear, have too much hair to do in that style." Cory had grown her hair out even longer. It was almost to her butt. He paused to think about what he wanted to do with her hair. "I know. I'll French braid most of it, and leave a few tendrils around your face."

Cory smiled. She knew just how he was planning on doing her hair. She sat in the chair and twenty minutes later he was almost done. Her hair was parted down the middle and French braided into two braids. Then he had twisted the braids into a knot at the base of her skull. The effect was one where it looked like it was all braided into the knot without seeing where the individual braids began. He had left a few tendrils to frame her face, like what he had done with Stella and Julie.

"Okay. I'm done with you guys. Lindsay, have you decided what you want to do?"

Lindsay nodded. "I think so. I really like this effect and I think it will look good with the tiara that the veil attaches to." She pointed to a picture of Ann Hathaway from the movie, The Princess Diaries.

Sebastian nodded his approval. "Excellent choice. Very classic. Do you have your tiara with you?"

Lindsay nodded and Cory drew the tiara from the bag. "Here you go."

Sebastian placed the tiara on her head first and then completed pulling her hair back into the bun. "There. All done and it's only two! I finished quicker than I had planned. Let me set all of your hair with hairspray, so it doesn't fall."

When he was done, the four women admired their hair in the mirror. Cory quickly paid him and then said, "So, you'll meet us at the church at four? That way you can do touch ups and also do the flower girl's hair?"

Sebastian nodded and agreed to meet them there as they walked out of the room. The women left to go get lunch and then head to the church.

(3:30 pm, Trinity Church)

Cory parked her SUV in the parking lot for the church. The women got out of the SUV and gathered their belongings and walked inside. Lindsay ushered them to the bride's room in the back, so they could begin to get ready.

Cory looked at her. "I'm going to do a walk through of the sanctuary, to make sure everything looks okay." Stella said that she would go with her, to give Lindsay and Julie some time alone together.

When Stella and Cory walked into the sanctuary, they both gasped at the beauty of it. Lindsay had chosen spring and summer flowers, including daisies and lilies, to line the pew's with.

"Wow. Lindsay made a great choice with these flowers," Cory said.

"I agree." Stella looked at Cory. "So when are you and Danny going to take the plunge?"

Cory smirked. "About the same time you and Mac do." Stella tried not to look at Cory. "Come on, Stella. I know y'all are dating. I picked up on y'alls body language the last time we all went out together. Don't try to deny it."

Stella felt a blush creep up her cheeks. "Don't tell anyone. No one else knows."

Cory laughed. "I know. Do you know how hard it is to keep this from Danny? I just don't understand why they don't see it? Maybe it's a form of being myopic. You just can't see what's staring you in the face. Believe me Stella, they won't find out from me. Hell, I kept the secret that Flack and Lindsay were engaged for almost four months!"

Stella opened her eyes in surprise. "You knew for almost four months? When did they get engaged?"

"The Sunday that I left, on top of the Empire State Building."

"Don's such a closet romantic. I can see him doing something like that. We'd better go back. It's time to get our make-up done."

(Five pm)

The guys arrived at the church, exactly at five. When they walked in, they were shown to the groom's room. Danny looked at Flack. "So, man. You ready for this?"

Flack looked serious. "Yeah. I love her so much, that this will be a piece of cake. It just feels right. Does that make sense?"

Mac was the one who nodded his understanding. "It was like that when I married Claire. I wasn't nervous at all. I had let her plan the wedding. Her instructions to me were, 'Be at the church at this time and make damn sure you are wearing a tux.' I did and it was one of the happiest days of my life." Mac smiled at the memory.

Flack looked at the men that were with him. Danny, his best man, Mac and Hawkes, who were both groomsmen. They were the people with whom he was the closest. He smiled. "We'd better get ready."

They were interrupted by a knock at the door. Danny was the one who opened it and stared at Cory. "Bella. You look…um…I don't have a word for the way you look. Beautiful doesn't do you justice."

Cory flushed and smiled. "Thanks. I still have to get dressed, but I just wanted to make sure that y'all were here before I did that. Now that I can reassure Lindsay that Flack is indeed here and getting into his tux, we can get ready. Je t'aime, mon coeur. I'd better get back."

Danny watched as she walked away. He turned back into the room. "Flack, if Lindsay looks as good as Cory, you'd better keep your tongue in your mouth. Damn, she looked hot!"

The guys laughed as they finished getting ready.

Cory walked back into the bride's suite. "The guys are here and getting dressed as we speak. You can breathe a sigh of relief Linds. Please start getting dressed now!"

Lindsay did just that. Cory got into her dress and then stared at Michelle, Lindsay's niece, who was the flower girl. Sebastian had done her hair exactly like Stella and Julie's. Cory had voiced a concern at that. "What if it falls? She is a child and children are prone to make a mess of their hair."

Sebastian had reassured her. "Honey, when I'm done with her hair, the only way that it will come down is when it's washed!" He delivered on his promise, Michelle's hair was so secure that Cory decided that only standing under running water would make it fall.

After they were all ready, Lindsay's mom, Janet came in. "Sweetheart. You look so beautiful. You all do."

Lindsay gave her a hug. "Thanks, Mom. I'm just glad that I'm not nervous anymore. This morning my stomach was full of butterflies!"

Janet smiled. "That's a good thing. It was the same with me before I married your dad. We've been married for 37 years, now. I just wanted to give you something. I know that you probably already have your something old, new, borrowed and blue. But my mom gave me to this on my wedding day and I think that it's time I passed it on." Janet handed Lindsay a package. "It is your great, great-grandmother's handkerchief. She made it and carried it on her wedding day."

Lindsay opened the package and pulled out the beautiful, hand stitched, ivory lace handkerchief. Embroidered into the corner were the initials LF. Lindsay looked at her mom in surprise. "L.F? What was her name?"

Janet smiled. "That's what is so amazing about it. Her maiden name was Laura Cooper. But she married, John Freeman. So her married initials were LF. Laura Freeman. This was meant to come to you."

Lindsay felt tears well up in her eyes. "Mom. This is so great! Thank you. I'll carry it down the aisle." Lindsay hugged her mom again. "Okay. I've got to stop crying now."

Cory looked at the clock. "Yes, you do. It's time!"

Janet opened the door and let Lindsay's dad, Paul came in. "Sweetheart, you look gorgeous. Are you ready?"

Lindsay nodded. "I can't wait."

Paul grinned. "In that case, everyone is in the sanctuary and we are just waiting on you."

The group looked at each other one last time. They all nodded at the same time. "Let's go," said Stella.

Julie took Michelle's hand as Janet left to go sit in the sanctuary. Julie led the group to the double door entrance to the sanctuary. There, two ushers were waiting. There would be a double door entrance for each woman, including Michelle. In between when the women were walking down the aisle, the doors would be shut again. Everyone lined up. Michelle was first, followed by Julie, Stella, Cory and then Lindsay.

When the first strains of You Had Me From Hello began to play, the ushers opened up the door for Michelle, who skipped down the aisle. Julie went next and walked at a more sedate pace.

About halfway through the song, Stella began the walk. As she looked up to the dais, she saw Mac standing there in between Danny and Hawkes. Stella felt emotion swell in her chest at the sight of him. "I wish that someday this will be us."

Mac watched as Stella began the walk down the aisle. "She is so beautiful. What did I ever do to deserve her?"

At the three quarter mark to the song, Cory began to walk down the aisle. She smiled in pleasure as she saw Danny standing beside Flack, looking very handsome in his tuxedo. "I love him so much. I can't wait until this happens for us. I am so ready for this to happen."

Danny felt his heart stop in his chest as Cory began her walk. "Oh, my. She looks…amazing! How could I once have thought that she was just pretty? She is stunning. I am such a lucky man. I hope I don't screw up this relationship."

When Cory turned and stood on the dais, the song was just ending. A hush fell over the hundred people gathered in the church. Then the familiar strains of The Wedding March began to play. Everyone in the church stood and turned to face the rear.

Flack forgot to breathe when he saw Lindsay walking towards his on her dad's arm. Her dress was a very classic A-Line dress. It has simple spaghetti straps and beadwork throughout the bodice. She was wearing simple low-heeled shoes that were comfortable. The detachable train flowed behind her while her tiara veil floated down around her shoulders.

Lindsay smile when she saw Flack standing by Danny and the minister. "He looks so handsome in the tuxedo. The butterflies are back." Once they reached the dais, Lindsay turned to her dad. He lifted the veil, kissed her softly on her cheek and put her hand into Flack's. Then he stepped back.

The minister looked at both of them. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the love between these two people. I ask now, who gives this woman's hand in holy matrimony?"

Paul and Janet stood up. "We do."

The minister nodded. "The joining of two people in holy matrimony is a sacred service. It is not to be taken lightly. So I ask now, is there anyone who has any reason to object to this joining? Speak now or forever hold your peace."

The hush remained in place throughout the church. The minister continued. "Lindsay and Donald have written their own vows."

Flack drew a breath. "Lindsay, when I first saw you I was stunned. Your beauty, intelligence and heart all drew me in. I was in a bad place in my life, but you managed to turn it around. I would love you for that alone. Each moment that I spend with you is like a moment in heaven. I love you."

Lindsay smiled. "Don, when I met you I was blown away. You are a wonderful man who brings an amazing mind to everything you do. You restored my faith in the decentness of people. Everyday you bring a joy to my life that I have been looking for. I love you."

The minister smiled and looked at Flack. "Donald, repeat after me. I, Donald, take thee Lindsay to be my lawfully wedded wife." Flack repeated the minister's words. "To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death do us part." After Flack repeated the words, he turned to Lindsay and repeated the sentence.

The minister turned back to Flack. "Donald? Do you take Lindsay to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold from this day forward, till death do you part?"

"I do."

The minister turned to Lindsay. "Lindsay? Do you take Donald to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold from this day forward, till death do you part?"

"I do."

The minister looked at Danny. "May I have the rings please?" Danny handed over the rings. Lindsay turned and gave her bouquet to Cory. "The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. It is a seal of the vows Donald and Lindsay have made to one another. Bless O God these rings, that Lindsay and Donald, who give them, and who wear them, may ever abide in thy peace. Living together in unity, love and happiness for the rest of their lives. Donald, repeat after me." The minister gave Flack Lindsay's ring. "Lindsay, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. With this ring, I thee wed."

Flack slid the ring onto her finger easily and repeated the words.

"Lindsay, place this ring on his hand and repeat after me. Donald, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. With this ring, I thee wed.""

Lindsay's voice shook slightly as she repeated the words and slid the ring onto Flack's finger.

The minister smiled. "In as much as you have each pledged to the other your lifelong commitment, love and devotion, I now pronounce you husband and wife, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder. You may kiss your bride."

Flack leaned in and took Lindsay's lips with his own. The kiss was passionate and drew much cheering from the assembled crowd. As they turned to their assembled family and friends, the minister had one last thing to say. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Mr. and Mrs. Donald Flack, Jr."

(Reception)

The guests from the wedding made their way to the Hilton Millennium for the reception. The bridal party stayed behind to take pictures. That took about thirty minutes and then they, too, made their way to the Hilton.

Once there, Flack and Lindsay stood beside each other, holding hands. Flack looked down at her. "How you holding up?"

Lindsay smiled. "Other than being hungry, I'm fine. Can't wait to start the honeymoon." Lindsay had an impish grin on her face after saying that statement.

The rest of the bridal party along with Julie's husband, William, and Lydia arrived. Cory looked at everyone. "Y'all ready to be introduced?"

Both Flack and Lindsay nodded. Cory looked at the rest of the bridal party and they walked into the reception room. Cory walked up to the DJ and let him know that the newlyweds were ready to be introduced. Cory was glad, she was hungry as well.

(After Dinner)

After everyone had eaten, it was time for the dancing to begin. After the current song ended, the DJ said, "Now it's time for the newlywed's first dance as husband and wife. Lindsay and Don, the floor in yours." He started the song. It was Everything I Do, I Do It For You by Bryan Adams.

Lindsay and Flack took to the floor, slowly dancing to the music. They didn't need words, the moved together seamlessly. They ended the song with a dip and a kiss on the final note.

"Now it's time for the rest of the bridal party to join them."

Danny and Cory, Mac and Stella and Julie and Hawkes joined the couple of the dance floor. As Danny was leading Cory around the floor he made an observation. "Mac and Stella dance really well together. I wonder…"

Cory looked at him, aware that she was treading on thin ice. "You wonder what?"

Danny looked down at her. "I wonder if Mac and Stella will ever act on their feelings toward each other. They look good together."

Cory mentally groaned. "I don't know. Maybe." As the song moved into the next song, Hawkes began to dance with Lydia. The pair had been officially dating for two months and Cory was happy for them. "One couple you don't have to worry about is Hawkes and Lydia. I knew they would hit it off! I'm glad I introduced them."

Danny smiled. "You are a matchmaker, aren't you?"

Cory raised her eyebrows. "Little bit. What can I say, I'm good at it. I'm the one that introduced Nicole and Henry. I convinced Lindsay and Flack to admit their feelings to each other! Maybe I'm in the wrong career."

Danny laughed at her. He looked at the clock and realized that it was almost time for the toasts and to cut the cake. He reluctantly let go of Cory and made his way over to the microphone as the DJ announced that it was time for the toasts.

Once everyone had a glass, he stepped up to the microphone. "As the best man, it's my job to say embarrassing things about the happy couple. So here I go. Flack, man. I don't know what you did to bedazzle Lindsay, but I never thought I'd see you guys together. I thought we had an agreement, man. She was supposed to be mine!" Danny was laughing as he tried to get that out. "Okay, seriously. I am so glad that Lindsay loves you. It is completely obvious to anyone who looks at you, how in love you guys are. I wish you the best, so here's a toast to a long and fruitful marriage!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank to Danny's toast.

Flack and Lindsay made their way to the cake to cut it. They both gripped the knife and carefully cut into the four tier cake. They each took a piece and carefully fed it to each other. Much to Danny's disappointment, they did not smear it on each other's faces. Then they linked arms and took a drink of champagne.

After everyone had eaten cake, Lindsay and Flack decided that it was almost time to leave. Lindsay nodded to the DJ who understood her cue. "Will all of the single ladies please assemble on the dance floor? It's time for the bouquet toss!"

Cory and Stella grinned at each other as they took their place in the front part of the group. Lindsay grinned at the women as she walked in front of them. She turned her back to them and tossed the bouquet. It sailed right towards Cory and Stella.

Both women began jostling to catch the bouquet, but in the end, Cory won. She held up the bouquet in triumph as Danny groaned softly under his breath. Hawkes looked at him. "What's wrong?"

Danny laughed softly. "Nothing. But now if I don't catch the garter, Cory's going to rib me for it!"

Hawkes laughed good-naturedly as he joined the men on the floor for the garter toss. As Flack lifted Linday's dress to get the garter, she said quietly under her breath, "Make sure that Danny gets the garter."

Flack looked at her. "Why?"

Lindsay grinned. "It's a superstition. The woman who catches the bouquet and the man who catches the garter are supposed to get married. I'm trying to help in that area. I told Stella my plan and she agreed to play along!"

Flack laughed. "I'll just agree with you now." He had finished pulling the garter off her leg and stood up. He took notice of where Danny was standing and turned his back to toss it.

Danny caught it.

The DJ then called for another dance, this time with just Danny and Cory. Lindsay had made sure of the song that would be played for this dance and grinned happily when Amazed by Lonestar came on.

About an hour later, it was close to 11 pm, Flack and Lindsay decided to leave. Lindsay had gone up to a suite that her parents had in the hotel and changed into her traveling clothes. She was wearing a white pantsuit. When she came back down, she saw that everyone was waiting outside. She went and stood by Flack. "Are you ready to begin our life together?"

Flack looked at her. "It's already started and I don't ever want it to end." They kissed lightly as they made their way out the door and to their new life ahead.
