John paced in the small room. "Breath John," Greg said.
"I am." John nearly screamed. He put his head in his hands. "I'm fine."
"John chill," Clara sighed, looking up from her phone, "You get through this and you can have mind-blowing sex with him."
John glared at her. "What if he leaves."
"Mycroft won't let him," Greg said smiling.
"What!"
"You're not the only one with jitters, Sherlock nearly passed out five minutes ago."
John whipped around and grabbed Greg's shoulders. "Is he ok?"
"Yeah, idiot forgot to breathe."
John's face contorted in horror. "What? I'm going to see him." John went to move past Greg but was pushed back. "Greg!"
"You're not going anywhere Johnny boy." Clara cried.
"Guys please."
Greg gave John a sympathetic look. "I get it. I mean I went through it, twice." he smiled. "It was nicer the second time."
"And the sex after," Clara added. Both of them glared at her. "What?" she asked, shrugging.
Greg puts his hand on John's shoulder. "Listen, the Holmes brothers might seem uncaring and emotionless, but they are the most loving people here. They only give it to people they like though. You and I are so lucky. He's not going to leave, he does love you. Besides Clara does have a point about the sex." John slapped him. "Yeah, I deserved that."
"The ceremonies started," Mycroft said from the doorway. "John are you ready?"
"Of course," he said, fixing his bowtie.
He was wearing a white suit with a black bowtie. Sherlock had picked it. John took a deep breath. He could do this. Mycroft nodded, a small smile was allowed on his face for a second.
John stood at the altar. He took a deep breath. The music started, traditional, he had learned Sherlock was very traditional. That was another quirk to add to the list, the long list the John loved. The doors opened up and Sherlock walked in with Mycroft at his side. John almost died right there. He forgot the entire world existed, the only thing he could see was Sherlock in his black tux and white bowtie. Sherlock smiled and gave a little wave. He looked so nervous. Sherlock reached the altar and Mycroft went to stand somewhat behind him. John had the most lovestruck expression on his face, an almost goofy grin with love in his eyes. Sherlock's face was flushed. The pastor was saying something but they could hardly hear it. "You two prepared vows?" The pastor asked.
John blinked and smiled. "Yeah, uh, I'm bad at speeches and even worse at writing them, so I'm winging it," John said, shrugging. "I'm an idiot compared to you and I am so surprised you would even choose me, of all people. A broken soldier, well fixed now, thanks to you. You are amazing and I love you. Again I'm bad at speeches. And I can not tell you how much I adore you, since the beginning. I love you."
Sherlock's eyes filled with tears. "I guess I'll go next?" he questioned quietly, trying to blink away the tears. He held up a finger and reached into his coat pocket, pulling out note cards. John laughed. "Well I had something written and now I can't read it because I'm crying. Thanks, John," he said smiling and putting the cards away. "You broke my walls, you just, I don't know how you changed me. For the better. Thank you. For not getting rid of who I am, for loving the weirdest parts of me. For helping become a better person," he gestured at the people in the pews, "for them," he gestured at John, "for you." he gulped. "I love you?" he said losing his train of thought.
"You can kiss him now." the preacher said.
"Great," John said, grabbing Sherlock's collar, and kissing him.
Vaguely they could hear "I now pronounce you man and husband" in the background.
The sex was phenomenal though.
