A/N: We finally come to an end of this journey. It has been fun writting it, and even more fun reading all you guys comments and reviews. Thank you very much for sticking with me throughout this ... um ... slighty bumpy ride =) Told you there would be a happy you. Thanks.

Their wedding was on a Sunday. A bright, sunny Sunday, with only a small list of guests. They both wanted a small and intimate ceremony with only friends and family attending.

Emily and JJ were her bridesmaids with Rossi and Reid acting as Morgan's best men. Hotch gave her away and it was in general a rather emotional and lovely ceremony.

Morgan and her had been looking secretly forward to that day since they actually got together. Thinking back how they had been just three years ago with each other, Penelope not talking to him, being mad at him for lying to her she herself was most surprised they made it to this point eventually. Looking in his eyes that day, or any day over the last two years she could clearly see the love shining in them. The love he had for her and for them. A love that was fully returned from her.

And now they stood here, having just shared the first dance as husband and wife, ending it in a passionate kiss which had their 'audience' clapping and whistle. It took them a while to get here, but in the end they made it and that's all that counted.

A clinging of glass pulled her out of her thoughts when she all of a sudden saw David Rossi getting up, a glass in his hand. Was he actually going to give a speech?

"Penelope Garcia had always been a rather different and unique person. Ever since the first day I met her. She is certainly different in the way she works and acts around you. She is that little bit of brightness in our otherwise dark jobs and I think everyone will agree she certainly makes things a lot more interesting," he stopped for a moment, laughing at both of them. "Derek Morgan had always been driven, by passion, sometimes anger and certainly Penelope Garcia." There was laughter from almost everyone at the table for a few moments. "He always aimed for perfection, in his job and with everything else he was doing. So maybe he was looking only for the perfect woman and that's why he was wrongly labeled as a player or womanizer. But he finally had to realize that sometimes, you can't see the forest for the trees and that perfection might be just right in front of you," David continued, raising his glass towards them. "So, to the bride and groom, to Penelope and Derek, who only needed dating everyone else before realizing what everyone else around them knew already: That they are the perfect match."

Everyone nodded in agreement and raised their glasses. They all seemed to be having a really good time as well. Penelope looked around at each member of the team.

Hotch had spent the whole night talking to Morgan's sisters and mother, probably telling them hundreds of stories of Morgan doing all sort of stupid things. Reid was entertaining a group of friends from Morgan, looking like he was about to quote again some of his rather infamous statistics and Rossi had found himself some female companion for tonight, seeing that he had been spending the last few hours talking to her and keeping her entertained. JJ and Will had to leave about an hour ago, due to her expecting her second child any day now.

And the last two people her eyes fell on were Emily and her date for this event. Shortly after she had told Marcus that things weren't working out between them Emily had another one of her rather infamous dates with another Mr. Wrong and Penelope decided on playing matchmaker between these two. Marcus was a rather nice guy, good looking and exactly what Emily had always been looking for in a guy. She set them up on a blind date, after both of them were rather skeptical in the beginning. Two years on they were still going strong and rumor had it they would be next in line to tie the knot. And Penelope was only too happy for them, seeing that she had gotten her happy end she wanted everyone of her friends to experience that as well.

Maybe they could get there without all the drama that she and Derek had to go through, but in the end they made it, right? And that, after all, is all that truly counts.
