Here is the final chapter. We hope you all enjoy it!

As the ceremony ends, the newlyweds make their way to the main entrance of the church, where they position themselves to receive the congratulations from their wedding guests. One by one, family, friends and colleagues make their way out of the church, giving their best wishes to the bride and groom as they exit the church, some even take a quick photo. Once everyone has left the church, Sharon and Bill exit as well and make their way halfway down the church stairs, where all the wedding guests are waiting for them, throwing rice while the wedding photographer snaps a couple of photos. Then he takes some photos with Sharon and Bill and their children, then Sharon with the maid of honor, Katie, and the bridesmaids, Amy and Andrea. Next is Bill with his best man, Lee, as well as Ricky and Rusty. After having taken a couple more photos with the other guests, a white limousine drives up to the church and stops in front of Bill and Sharon. They both get in and the limousine slowly drives away. The other guests get to their own cars which are parked down the next couple of blocks and make their way to the reception, which is held at The Sunset Restaurant and Beach Bar in Malibu. Sharon and Bill discovered this place on their way back from the El Matador Beach a couple of months ago and knew this would be the perfect venue for their wedding reception after having a late lunch there.

Since Bill and Sharon arrive at the venue first, closely followed by their wedding photographer, they take a couple more photos at the beach, with the Pacific Ocean in the background. The two are incredibly happy, which you can see, for they are both smiling ear to ear. About 15 minutes later, the other wedding guests start to arrive at The Sunset as well, so they go inside and greet everyone again at the entrance.

When the last guests have arrived and everyone has taken their seat, the four course wedding meal is served. As an appetizer, they are serving Butternut Squash Ravioli with Rosemary Browned Butter. Next is a salad which consists of Baby Kale Greens, Asian Pear, Grapes, Candied Walnuts, Gorgonzola and Honey Vinaigrette. For the main course, Sharon and Bill chose White Bean Puree with Balsamic Glazed Lamb Chops. Even though most guests are already full after the first three courses, the dessert is too delicious to resist… Honey Yoghurt Panna Cotta with Blood Orange Sauce. By the looks on everyone's faces, Sharon and Bill know that they made the right decision with the food.

"Mom, that dessert was heavenly. I feel like I am going to burst, but it was totally worth it," Katie says.

"I have to agree on that," Ricky adds in, "the whole meal was truly amazing."

Suddenly, someone clings their glass. It is Lee, who is attempting to get everyone's attention, as he is ready to give his Best Man's speech.

Clearing his throat, he begins, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have come together on this day, to celebrate a truly special day, the wedding of my father, Dr. William Adama and his lovely bride, Captain Sharon Raydor. These two have known each other for over two decades, as my father was Sharon's family doctor and I had the pleasure of going to school with Sharon's kids, Ricky and Katie. Since all three of us have left the nest and moved away to go to college, or start a ballet career in Katie's case, my dad and Sharon hadn't really been in contact. About two years ago, Sharon was diagnosed with cancer and underwent chemotherapy. As the family doctor, my dad was the first to know about it besides her. Having had a crush on Sharon for years, I mean, who can blame him, she is a truly terrific woman, he decided to be there for her during this hard time. So he made sure that he could be with her during each of her chemotherapy sessions, reading to her to take her mind off of the medical procedure. Even though Sharon has had tremendous support by her son Rusty, whom she had adopted not long before she was diagnosed, the relationship with my father started to bloom and together, they made it through this tough time, falling deeply in love along the way. Together, they faced a couple more challenges, but their love for each other was stronger than anything that was trying to spoil their happiness. I really couldn't think of a better wife for my dad than Sharon. She is smart, caring, eloquent, ambitious, affectionate, brave, generous, and a terrific mom. The best part about that, I can now call her mom as well. These two truly deserve each other and I wish both of them the best of luck for their future, although I am sure they don't need any. So please, ladies and gentlemen, raise your glass with me to congratulate the newlyweds."

Everyone does as Lee has asked. "To my dad and new mom, may your life on this earth be a happy one, may your days together be filled with love, laughs and joy. I love you both very much!"

At that, Bill gets up from his chair and gives his son a big hug. "I love you too, son. Thank you for this lovely speech."

Sharon gets up from her chair as well and pulls Lee into a hug too. "What a wonderful speech, Lee. Thank you! I am so happy to add another son to my family."

Lee gives Sharon a kiss on the cheek and then turns to his dad, lightly clapping his upper arm. "Congratulations!"

The other wedding guests start to cheer and clap, although a couple of female wedding guests are busy wiping the tears away that Lee's emotional speech has caused them.

A couple of minutes later, it's time for the newlyweds to share their First Dance as husband and wife. They dance to At Last by Etta James.

While Bill and Sharon dance, Katie leaves the room to change her clothes for a surprise she has prepared for the two. When the song ends, Ricky steps next to Bill and Sharon, ready to make an announcement.

"Mom, Bill, before we open the dancefloor for the other wedding guests, Katie and I have prepared a little surprise for you." Looking at the door where Katie is supposed to come out from, he sees her already waiting, giving him a thumbs up. He nods at her.

"What are you two up to, Ricky?" Sharon asks.

He takes both of them by the hand and leads them to the side of the dancefloor. "Please wait here."

Ricky walks across the dancefloor again, over to a piano, which Bill and Sharon hadn't noticed until then, while Katie enters the room and makes her way to the middle of the dancefloor. Ricky starts to play and Katie starts to dance, to the melody of A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. Sharon is already about to tear up, when there is another surprise. Amy is singing the lyrics to the song, which only makes Sharon happy-cry even more. She hasn't seen her daughter dance in several years. She leans into Bill's embrace who is trying to hold back his tears, unsuccessfully though. He truly is the happiest man on earth right now. He has not only gained a wonderful wife, but also three amazing new children. Katie is definitely a prima ballerina.

When the song ends, Sharon runs over the dancefloor and embraces her daughter. "Oh darling, thank you so much for this. This is the best wedding gift a mother could ask for." She then gives Katie a big kiss on her cheek, all while the rest of the guests applaud wildly. Sharon takes Katie by her hand and walks over to Ricky with her. She also gives him a tight embrace and a big kiss. Usually, he would be embarrassed, being kissed by his mom in front of so many people, but not at that moment. "Thank you, to both of you. Ricky, I had no idea you still played the piano. I thought you stopped years ago because you didn't like it."

"Anything for you, mom," he states.

"Please excuse me," Sharon says, "I have to go see Amy now. It was such a great idea to have her sing the song. Her voice is wonderful. How did you know?"

"Andrea suggested it when I told her about our plans," Katie explains.

Sharon smiles and gently strokes both her children's cheeks. Then she turns around and walks over to Amy, who is still standing by the microphone, but now surrounded by all her colleagues.

"Amy," Sharon starts, taking both her hands in her own, "your voice is incredible. Thank you so much for joining my kids. I… I don't even know what to say, except that I am so grateful to have you in my life, all of you in fact. When I joined the Major Crimes team, I would have never dreamed all of this would happen. My great team, Rusty, Bill, this day."

"You deserve all of this and more, Captain," Provenza says and the others agree with him.

"Lieutenant, … Louie, I think the two of us have come the furthest, don't you think?"

"Well, yes, it took me some time to see what a terrific woman you are, Captain. Bill really is a lucky man."

"I certainly am," Bill says, who suddenly appears behind Sharon, pulling her into an embrace. "Amy, please also accept my greatest gratitude for joining Ricky and Katie. What a terrific voice."

"It was my pleasure," Amy replies.

Then Bill turns his attention to Sharon. "Darling, I hate to pull you away, but we should open the dancefloor. I think our guests are eager to dance themselves now."

"Yes, you are right, dear. Let's not make them wait any longer," she agrees.

Bill and Sharon walk back into the middle of the dancefloor and make the announcement. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we hereby declare the dancefloor open. Please enjoy yourselves. We will be slicing the cake in about an hour, when everyone has had time to digest that amazing meal."

The music starts playing and the dancefloor is quickly filling up. Before Sharon and Bill continue to dance themselves, they walk over to Rusty.

"Are you having a good time, Rusty," Sharon asks.

"Yes, thank you for asking. That was a pretty amazing performance by Katie, Ricky and Amy."

"Did they tell you what they had planned?"

"Yes, of course. We are siblings, we don't have any secrets," Rusty says with a bright smile on his face. "I am so happy I am a part of this family. Now I don't only have a new mom, but also a terrific dad. Bill, thank you for being in our life and making my mom so happy."

"Oh Rusty, you are playing such a big part in her happiness. Don't you ever underestimate your importance to her and to me as well." Bill gives Rusty a firm handshake and then pulls him into a hug. "Let's go dance!"

Sharon nods and then strokes Rusty's cheek, just as she did with Ricky and Katie before. "You are my son and I am very proud of you. We have been through so much, more than a mother and son should, but together, we are an unstoppable team, don't you agree?"

"Yes, I do!"

All three of them then turn and make their way to the dancefloor, where the party is already in full swing. About an hour later, everyone is taking their seats again, as Sharon and Bill are slicing the cake. After everyone has had their piece, the party continues, well into the early morning hours. The bouquet is thrown and the garter has been slid off of Sharon's leg and thrown into the crowd. Around 2 am, the last of the guests have left and Sharon and Bill are ready to go home as well. Since they won't all have a place to sleep in the condo, Ricky is sleeping in Bill's apartment with Lee and Kara, while Katie and Rusty will join Sharon and Bill in the condo. Katie will sleep in Rusty's room and Rusty has agreed to sleep on the couch. Since he didn't drink any alcohol, Rusty is driving the four of them home.

The next morning, after sleeping in and having had a delicious breakfast, which Rusty had prepared, Sharon and Bill make their way to the airport to start their honeymoon. They have booked a room at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in Hawaii where they will stay for a whole week.
