Lovely! I especially like Sherlock's point of view, the slight bewilderment (hard enough to process a single emotion at a time!) and the insistence on having been invited.

"I'm just relieved that we're married now, and whatever happens, we'll at least be married.”
That's someone who has been hanging around Sherlock too much. Though I have to admit I felt that too. Coming up on the wedding, I began absurdly to worry that something would happen before the wedding and I wouldn't be a widow or I wouldn't be buried with him. I don't think I ever told him. You might be the first person I told (followed by your various other readers, I suppose.)

Hee! I think, if I were Molly, I would be absolutely positive that it was going to go horribly wrong. Because this is Molly, who every time she finds happiness, gets slapped in the face by the universe. (Or Moffat).

Aww! I don't think that's unusual. Especially since, I'm just guessing by having talked to you over the years, that you're quite an analytical person, and you'd be incline to prepare for all contingencies. Add a creative spirit to that, and you get a lot of imaginative worries.

Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. :-)

Aww, I love your pinboards.

John was in the first pew, next to Molly's brothers. Sherlock was next to John. He was texting. John took his phone away. Sherlock pouted. Mrs Hudson bawled openly while Lestrade tried to comfort her.

Omg, all of this is so accurate, lol!

Molly straightened up, and returned to Alec. “I hope you like being a wife, too,” she said.

“I love it,” he assured her.

Eee, this is too cute!!! They’re a great couple.

“For what?” Sherlock said, popping the olive into his mouth. “Why does she get something special? I don't want soup. Antipasto was not on my RVSP as a menu option.”

I almost cried with laughter at this. The best part is that you can never tell if Sherlock’s deliberately manipulating Abby into eating or just has that much of a childish personality that he wants the kids’ plate. *loves him* “Backseat parenting” for the win! I also love how Sarah compares the way Sherlock handles Molly to the way he handles Abby. He does his best to be sweet to them both.

Lovely ceremony and reception!

Thanks! I enjoy working on them, and collecting things.

I think for Sherlock, in this verse at least, Molly is sort of a little sister he wants to protect. Especially now that she's just a friend, and not in love with him. It's very much a situation of 'I can tease her and annoy her and bother her, but God help you if you even think about hurting her'.

Lovely ceremony and reception!

Thank you! It was fun to conceive. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!
