 Ray " It's almost time" Ray thinks. He stands before a mirror,
straightening his tie and boutonniere. His hands for once are steady,
mirrored by the feeling in his heart. In a few moments he'll slip the ring
on Ben's finger and say the words that will bind them forever. There has
been a lot of hurt this past year. The yelling, the tears, the fights,
families and friends lost. It's taken them a lot to get here but now they
are. It's their time now.

 Fraser "Ben? It's almost time, son." Fraser looks up at Buck, standing in
the doorway, and realizes he's been lost in thought. He stands and adjusts
his uniform. He looks again at Buck, and for a moment he thinks he sees
his father standing there. He fights back a wave of sadness. He shouldn't
be sad, not today, not on the happiest day of his life. As he walks to the
door, he hears a faint voice. " Go and get your man, son." A smile covers
his face. "I will Dad. Thank you."

 Stella "Five more minutes and it will be time." Stella says to the person
sitting next to her. She hopes anyways, because the wooden benches that
they are sitting on are really uncomfortable. She's still not sure why she
came at all. Her Ray hadn't wanted her to, had said it was wrong and
perverted for two men to get married. He hadn't spoken to Fraser since he
had told them about himself and Ray. But Stella feels she needs to be
here, to see her first Ray, to know that he will be taken care of. She
hasn't quite been able to let him go. And now, remarried and a baby on the
way, it's time. It's time to let her old life go.

 Frannie Frannie thinks about time. There was a time in her life when she
would have given anything to be the one standing next to Fraser at the
altar. But those times are done and gone. Fraser had come back from his
adventure with Ray a different man. He had started standing up for
himself, being more aggressive. He had become a friend instead of an
object of desire. She looks over at Huey and he squeezes her hand. Yes,
Frannie thought to herself, it's time for my new beginning. 

 Welsh "It's about time they did this." Thinks Welsh to himself as he
listens to Fraser make a toast. His turn is coming up. He had been
extremely surprised when Kowalski had asked him to be his best man. When
he asked why Kowalski simply stated. "Cause you were one of the few that
stood by us." As he listens to Fraser, he finds himself smiling,
remembering the wacky hijinks they got up to. He'll miss these two when
they go to Canada but it's time for them to go home. And after the wedding
he'll to go back to his desk. It's where he belongs. But now's not the
time for that. Now's the time to celebrate his boys.
