Valentine's Day- For Sam

[thethirdwonder]

Vegas was awesome. Valentine's Day was sometimes a day to dread on Tabula Rasa, what with foods that had unpredictable consequences. Now, they were in the city of unpredictable consequences and Cassie was having a ball. The lights, the excitement, the over all energy, it was infectious and she was loving it.

After a beautiful dinner, Cassie and Sam were walking down the Vegas Strip, hand in hand. She couldn't stop smiling, both from the atmosphere and the man walking beside her. It was just so romantic and passing so many weeding chapels wasn't helping.

After the third or possibly fourth one, Cassie got a sudden idea. It would contradict a conversation they'd had only recently but she had always been better at spur of the moment as over thinking was her down fall. And she wanted this, she feeling did.

If Sam answered her question first.

"Hey Sam. I have a crazy idea."

Two hours later, Cassie was back at the chapel with Cissie and the boys in tow. Between the two of them, the girls had found a dress that looked fabulous and Cissie had helped get her hair and make up look something presentable. The boys had made jokes but the girls had just punched their arms. Hard.

Amazingly enough, Cassie was still not freaking out. She was still thinking this was a good idea, which admit-tingly she'd worried about and had said so to Cissie. But even standing at the back of a Vegas chapel, in a white dress, waiting for her cue...

She was nervous sure but definitely no freaking out.

Sam wouldn't have said that he was nervous. Okay maybe a little nervous and that was why he was bouncing on the balls of his feet, but he was getting married so he figured that he was allowed to be a little nervous even if he wanted this. It was just all so sudden. Not in a bad way, in an awesomely 'I never thought this would happen' way, but still fast.

At least he had managed to find a tuxedo in time, although in Vegas that wasn't hard. He had even managed to track down Aphrodite to officiate the wedding. The goddess was practically radiant and beaming she was so pleased to be the one to perform the ceremony. Sam thought that was pretty awesome.

Coraline was there to be his best... human being, which was cool. Really, having all of their friends there was cool but Sam had to be honest that he wasn't thinking about his friends.

He was thinking about the girl walking down the isle right now and how amazing she looked. He was thinking about how she was here for him and in just a few more steps she'd be right up there with him and they were going to get married. Holy shit, he was going to be married to Cassie.

The tuxedo was a nice touch, one Cassie hadn't been expecting and it brought a big smile to her face. Sam looked so handsome, not that he didn't all the time, but now especially. On their wedding day.

Holy Hera, their wedding day. And there was still no freaking out. At least of the bad kind. Each step she took towards the alter, towards a future with Sam, there was only an increasing sense of joy and excitement. And she didn't want to be anywhere else.

When she finally made it to the front, Cassie beamed up at Sam as she passed her flowers to Cissie. This was it.

"Wow," Sam said, just staring at her with a ridiculous grin on his face. Words rarely failed him. Sometimes the words that came out of his mouth didn't make any sense at all, but there were usually a lot of them.

This though, standing at the alter with Cassie, left him devoid of words. There wasn't a word in any language that could describe how happy he was right now.

"You look amazing," he whispered. "More amazing than you've ever looked. And I don't know why I'm whispering, everyone is right here and can hear me."
