"Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr and Mrs Shepard!" The Dj yells into the microphone

Sam and Jessica come running out from the behind the curtain and everyone cheers for the newly wedded couple.

Sam picks up Jessica, spins her around, and gives her a long passionate kiss.

The barn wedding reception was colorful and filled with lanterns, greens, and felt like the right amount of rustic and classy. Everything was so beautiful and even more amazing then Jessica imagined. The energy that filled up the area was the right amount of perfect.

Jessica and Sam danced, drank, talked, ate, and repeated. Even the little ones were having the time of their lives. Sam and Jessica didn't have a worry in the world.

"Isn't this night just perfect?" Jessica says to Sam

"Yes, I couldn't ask for a better night." He smiles giving her a kiss

"When do you wanna have our dance?" He says

Jessica and Sam were having so much fun, they forgot about the first dance.

"Oh my god!" Jessica giggles

"Now?" He asks

They both look at each other and laugh. They ask to play their first song and everyone clears the floor.

Jessica and Sam wanted to play their favorite song "When I Fall In Love" for their first dance. Both of their parents danced to this song at their weddings as well.

Sam and Jessica swayed back and forth together, holding each other. Jessica felt so safe and comfortable. She could feel the beats of Sam's heart as she rested her head on his chest.

"Today, I made the easiest decision of my life." Sam says

"Marrying me?" He asks

"Yes." He says

"You're my everything Sam. Everything I said in those vows, I meant." She says sternly

"They were beautiful." "And Same goes for me." He adds

"Today was the best day. Big crazy fancy wedding or not." She smiles

Everybody sat down and started to make their toasts. Each of Jessica's sisters and Sarah made a toast, along with Sam's groomsmen. Albert has wrote a speech as well for Jessica and Sam. Dorthy helped him write some of it, but she left her husband present it.

"I promised myself that I wouldn't get emotional today, but it's pretty impossible when you have a wonderful daughter like Jessica. Giving away my daughters was never an easy task for me. I'm proud to say that I've given them away to pretty amazing men. I'm even more proud to say that Sam is now my son in law. I've watched Jessica and Sam's relationship grow. It has been quite beautiful to watch. I've seen my daughter fall head over heels for this man. Sam is the kind of man that will be there for you no matter what. He has been there for Jessica as she has been there for him. He has always been there for my beloved grandchildren. He has loved them like their own and has treated them with so much love and kindness. As many of you know, Jessica was in a house fire almost a year ago. Not only was it hard for us as a family but for her, her children, and Sam. Jessica didn't wake up for quite some time. I questioned gods reasoning for putting my daughter in harms way, for attempting to take her away from grandchildren, myself, my family , and Sam. Everyday that Jessica was in that hospital bed Sam was right there. He talked to her, read to her, and even sang. He stayed strong for her and for my family and I.

Sam began to really struggle towards the end. We had a lot of heart to hearts. One that stuck with me is how he expressed how he still hadn't given you the world yet. How he needed to do so much more for you and how much more things you guys needed to accomplish together. He said that you were his everything and the reason he got out of bed every morning.

When Jessica was released from the hospital he helped her recover. It was not easy. But he did it, all while building them their dream home. He got everyone together and did something so amazing for her and those kids. This man amazes me everyday. I'm glad to know that Jessica will have Sam by her side and that one day when I'm not here, he'll be there for her. I love you my sweet Jessie and I'm so glad to have you as my daughter and to have Sam as my new son. Going to bed every night will be easy knowing that you are safe."

Jessica got up from her chair and ran to her father and cried in his arms.

The night was coming to an end. The kids were half asleep when it was time for Jessica and Sam to head out to the airport for their honeymoon. Jessica and Sam changed into less formal more causal clothes before they got in the car to go. Everyone was waiting outside with sprinklers to send them off.

Jessica got in her goodbyes before she left.

"Give mommy all the kisses before we go!" Jessica says smothering them.

"Will you be back?" Wyatt asks

"Yes, honey. In a few days."

"Don't go!" Scarlett cries

Jessica knew they were just tired but she still felt so bad.

"You'll see daddy in the morning and have so much fun. Okay princess?" Jessica smiles

"Okay" she pouts

Jack was fast asleep. Jessica gave him a quick kiss and waved goodbye before they walked outside to the Chaos.

"Have fun you two!" Dorthy smiles

"Thanks, mom." Sam chuckles

"He called me mom!" Dorthy giggles

"Be safe. We'll see you guys soon." Albert says

"Thank you guys for a beautiful day. We love you."

....

"Shall me, Mrs Shepard?" Sam says taking her hand.
