Epilogue – 10 Weeks Later
The backyard of Jean and Richard's house was simply stunning. There were chairs lined up in neat rows. Lights were strung through all of the trees casting a light glow over the people in the seats.
Inside the house, a very nervous woman in an elegant white dress looked out the window at the waiting crowd. Jean stood by the woman. "Are you ready?"
The woman smiled at her. "Since the first time I saw him."
Jean stepped out of the house and motioned to the quartet. The sounds of Wagner's Bridal Chorus captured everyone's attention. They all stood and turned towards the bride. Robbie smiled as he heard the familiar strains. His mind momentarily diverted to Morse. Then his attention returned to the beautiful woman walking down the aisle.
He smiled as she stepped to the altar and took the hand of the man waiting for her. They smiled at one another before turning to the Vicar.
The Vicar started the familiar words as everyone who loved these two people watched on. The bride and groom exchanged their vows and rings. At last, the Vicar said, "You may kiss the bride."
He looked down and at her and slowly lifted the veil. "I love you."
She beamed at him. "I love you."
He lowered his head and kissed her. The Vicar looked across the crowd of friends and family. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. James Hathaway."
Thank you for reading. Watch for new stories coming soon, including a fluffy smutty piece about the chicken dinner at Robbie's house from Intelligent Design. I owe this to JennySok for teasing her horribly for the past 106 chapters by leading her to believe Laura would ever choose someone other than Robbie.
