Alright, the time has come...the final installment of the story! Enjoy

Tie straight, coat buttoned, flower pinned tight. Looking good, Cooper.

"Hey, Sheldon," Leonard said as he walked through the door.

"Hello, Leonard."

"Are you nervous?"

"Why should I be nervous?" Sheldon raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know, a lot of people get nervous beforehand."

"Oh. Well, in answer to your question, no. I am not nervous."

"What's this on the table?" Leonard asked, picking up a large packet of papers.

"That is a document I like to call The Marriage Agreement. If you have time, could you give that to Penny? She'll get it to where it needs to be."

"Sure thing. I can do that now if you'd like."

"That would be nice. Thank you." Leonard left the room with the agreement in his hand. I can't believe today's the day. Sheldon let out a deep sigh. Fascinating.

"Knock, knock!" Howard said as he poked his head in the door.

"Come in," Sheldon commanded.

"Hey, buddy! Are you nervous?"

Sheldon gave Howard an annoyed look. "Why does everyone think I'm nervous?

"Well, we know you don't do well in front of large crowds and there's well over sixty people in the church right now," Howard replied.

Sheldon's eyes widened. "Oh dear..."

"Stay calm, dude," Raj said. He had followed Howard into Sheldon's dressing room. "All you have to do is repeat everything the minister says and you'll be fine."

"You're right, Raj. It'll be okay."

"Didn't you write your own vows?"

Raj and Sheldon both turned to Howard and glared at him. "You're not helping, Howard. Stop talking," Raj snapped.

"Uh oh..." Sheldon whimpered. Suddenly he collapsed to the floor.

"Great. You made him faint. Nice going," Raj scolded.

It took roughly five minutes for Sheldon to wake up. When he did, Raj and Howard were gone. Leonard had just stepped back into the room after fetching his friend a glass of water. "I thought you might want this," Leonard said as he set the glass on a nearby table.

"How long have I been passed out on the floor?" he asked, slowly standing up.

"Just a few minutes. Don't worry, the ceremony will still run as scheduled."

"Alright." Sheldon took a sip of his water. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Leonard called.

"It's Penny."

"Oh, come on in."

Penny swiftly entered the dressing room holding the same stack of papers that Leonard had left with earlier. "Here's your agreement thingy. Every page is signed and ready to go."

"Thank you, Penny," Sheldon said almost insincerely.

"Sheldon," a voice said from the doorway. It was Howard. "It's time."

"Ooh, here we go!" Penny chimed. "Places everyone!" Everyone filed out of the room and into their designated spots. When the music started, Sheldon walked out from behind a door and entered the sanctuary. He did his best to ignore the crowd staring at him as he went and stood by the minister. Once he was in place, the back doors of the church opened.

First in line for the processional was the maid of honor, Penny, escorted by the best man, Leonard. When they reached the front and before they parted, Leonard gave Penny a quick peck on the cheek. Next was Bernadette, who was clutching the arm of Howard. Following them were Raj and Sheldon's sister, Missy. All of the guests smiled as they watched them strut down the isle.

Sheldon, on the other hand, had been ignoring everyone that walked down the isle. He was trying to keep his eyes off of the people looking at him. His attempt to use kolinahr to calm himself down was failing. Deep breaths, Cooper, deep breaths. When he noticed that all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen were lined up next to him, his heart and his mind raced. The music changed and all of the guests stood up. Sheldon closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a brief moment, he heard Leonard whisper "oh, wow." Sheldon carefully opened his eyes to the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. In that moment, all of his fears disappeared.

There she was, walking down the isle. Amy wore a strapless a-line dress with a beaded sash around her waist. The dress was a crisp white color and the bottom dragged neatly behind her as she walked closer to the altar. A lace veil draped down her back and was hanging from her diamond tiara. She wore a radiant smile all the way down the isle.

Sheldon suddenly found her hand in his as the music stopped playing. He noticed the grin on his face as he listened to the minister speak. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here to day to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony..." Sheldon's mind wandered. He heard bits and pieces of the Bible readings (his mother had requested them) and of the mini-sermon. "The bride and groom will now recite their vows, which they chose to write themselves."

Sheldon snapped back to reality. He turned to Amy."I know our relationship has been a struggle. Before, I never wanted anything to do with marriage or relationships. But the accident made me realize how much I took you for granted. I'll never understand why I was such a fool. I promise to always care for you and to always love you."

"Sheldon," Amy said. "I really want to thank you for letting me into your life. I know it was difficult at first but once you got to know me, it was like you started to become a different person; a better person. I think this relationship has changed both of us in many good ways. I promise to help our relationship grow and for us to grow as people. And yes, I will always love you."

"May I have the rings, please?" The minister asked. He collected the rings from both Leonard and Penny and handed them to Sheldon and Amy. They took turns placing the rings on each others' hands. With smiles on their faces, they turned to the minister and awaited the final words of the ceremony.

"And so," the minister concluded. "By the power vested in me, by God, and by the state of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

Without hesitation, Sheldon pulled Amy close to him and planted a firm kiss on her lips. When they broke the kiss, the minister smiled and said "Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you, for the first time, Doctors Sheldon and Amy Cooper." The crowd erupted into applause. As Sheldon and Amy walked hand-in-hand out of the church, they smiled bigger than they ever had before.

After they had greeted their guests and taken pictures with their families, the newlywed couple hopped into a black stretch limo that would take them to their reception just a short distance away.

"Well, Mrs. Cooper, I'd say we had an excellent wedding," Sheldon said as he wrapped an arm around Amy's shoulders.

"I concur," Amy replied, smiling. "And it's Doctor Cooper, thank you very much."

"Yes, of course. I apologize. I'll have to get used to the fact that there's another Dr. Cooper."

"And I'll have to get used to the fact that I am the other Dr. Cooper," Amy giggled. "Dr. Amy Cooper...alright, I'm used to it."

Sheldon smiled at his new wife. "The name suits you well." He leaned over and gave her a kiss.

"Oh, two in one day? That's a new record."

"Well, if our guests clink their glasses with silverware at the reception, that number is sure to increase."

Amy smiled. She rested her head on Sheldon's shoulder, causing him to smile as well. For the first time in each of their lives, they could truly be happy. Nothing would ever separate them. Everything in the world was perfect.
