Chapter 19
They quickly drove to the outdoor gardens where Mycroft and Lestrade would be getting married.
John examined Greg to make sure Greg had no severe damage, which, thankfully, he did not.
Mycroft gently cleared the blood off of Greg's face. Mycroft noticed Greg was staring at him, so he brought his eyes up to meet Greg's. The two smiled at each other, glad to have the other back.
John and Sherlock leaned in close to each other, and sorted out the remaining issue, the one that neither Mycroft nor Greg seemed to acknowledge.
They finally pulled up at the beautiful garden area, alive with bright, vibrant flowers and the chatter of those who came to celebrate Mycroft and Greg's marriage.
Greg groaned, just as he was about to get out. ''My, we don't have our suits!''
''Don't worry about that,'' John interjected.
''We had Mrs. Hudson bring your suits along,'' Sherlock added, as Mrs. Hudson came up to the car, and tapped on the window.
Greg quickly opened the door and took the suits out of her hands, thanking her with a kiss.
Sherlock and John got out of the car and followed Mrs. Hudson to their seats, as Mycroft and Greg got changed into their suits.
''Are you ready for this?'' Greg asked Mycroft with a nervous smile.
''Yes. Are you?''
''Yes.''
The two got out of the car and began walking hand in hand up to the alter, the others hushing as the music played.
They got up to the alter, and the marriage celebrant smiled and began the ceremony.
They had exchanged rings and came to the vow exchanging part.
''Gregory, you may say your vows,'' the marriage celebrant told him.
Greg took a deep breath and smiled at Mycroft. ''Mycroft. Right from the very moment I met you, I knew you were something different... Something special. I knew right from that moment that I loved you. There is nothing that I don't love about you and I am so pleased and so honored that I am fortunate enough to be able to spend the rest of my life with you.''
''Thank you, Gregory. Now it is your turn, Mycroft.''
''Gregory. I spent my whole life believing that caring was not an advantage. But as soon as I met you, all of that flew out of the window. Never have I been so wrong. Caring IS an advantage. To my well-being at least. Words cannot explain how much I love you, or how happy you make me. You have changed my life, in the greatest way possible, and for that I thank you.''
The two men felt tears well up in their eyes.
''Gregory Lestrade, do you take Mycroft Holmes to be your lawfully wedded husband?'' The celebrant asked.
''I do.''
''Mycroft Holmes, do you take Gregory Lestrade to be your lawfully wedded husband?''
''I do.''
''You may now kiss,'' the celebrant announced, as the two men kissed.
Everyone cheered for the two, and they were in their little bubble of happiness. Everything was absolutley perfect.
After taking the wedding photos, there came the reception.
There was a lot of dancing, speeches, amd socializing, and John literally had to drag Sherlock around in order to get him to mingle and then had to make him congratulate his older brother and new brother in law.
''Congratulations Mr. Holmes and Mr. Holmes!'' John congratulated the newly weds.
''Thanks, mate!'' Greg -who now can't be called Lestrade anymore- said, giving John a hug.
''Yes thank you, John,'' Mycroft said, allowing himself a smile as Greg snuggled himself into Mycroft's chest.
''Congratulations,'' Sherlock mumbled.
''Thanks, Sherlock,'' Greg said.
Mycroft nodded his thanks before looking at his watch. ''Love, we really must be going. Our plane leaves in little under 3 hours and we have to get out to the airport.''
''Okay, thanks again, guys,'' Greg said.
Mycroft and Greg quickly said their goodbyes and thank-you's to everyone before they leftbto catch their plane.
Back at the reception, John and Sherlock stood in a tight embrace.
''What happened to Nathaniel?'' John asked.
''He's in hosptial right now with serious injuries. When or if he gets out he'll be off to prison,'' Sherlock replied.
John nodded. ''By the way, I love you, Sherlock.''
''I love you too, John."
