Bodie. Beautiful, bashful (sometimes), blue eyed Bodie.

Until I met beautiful Bodie, I had no one. Oh, I had my mum...but you can't kiss and cuddle your mum, not like you can Bodie.

He's my life, my soul, my always and forever. They'll never be anyone else, not for me.

I don't think he's aware how deep my feelings run. How, if anything happened to him, devastated I would be. My life would be in ruins. Cowley would lose two CI5 agents that day.

My beautiful Bodie.

What's that? It's time to go? To enter that dark, forbidding Church? Because you see...my beautiful Bodie is waiting for me there.

Waiting. Even in the dim light, I can see his beauty shining out.

Oh god, Ray. Don't cry. For Cowley's sake, please don't cry. Not in front of all these people. Our friends and family. Chin up, old son, for their sake. For his sake.

I near the place where Bodie is, and I can't stop shaking. I don't think I can do this. I semi-turn, but catch sight of Murphy. His calm demeanour and gentle nod give me the confidence I need to finish the journey.

I pause - oh shit, he looks...so...beautiful, does my Bodie. That black suit is his favourite, I know. Was the only thing he could...would wear.

I love him so damn much. And the tears start falling. I couldn't have stopped them, even if God himself had been standing here.

My beautiful Bodie. Through the tears, I see him.

"Are you ready?" I hear the vicar ask, softly. I can only nod. I cannot take my eyes of that dark haired lover of mine. I vaguely hear the vicar's next words...

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to witness the joining together of these two men..."
