Chapter Text
Mac and Riley’s place...
This was the day that Mac and Riley were looking forward to. This was the day they will become husband and wife. Weeks before, the couple had written their vows but Riley did tell Mac that she wanted to change her name to Riley Davis-MacGyver when they get married. Both of them are looking forward to spending the rest of their lives together. It was a bright and sunny morning when Mac woke up next to Riley, who was still asleep. Seeing her lying there, fast asleep made Mac smile as he watched her.
“Today is the day, babe. Today, we get married and spend the rest of our life’s together. How did I get so lucky ?” Mac thought to himself. He thought about their history together, from how they met, how he and Jack asked for her help, to Riley then joining Phoenix and becoming his friend and colleague. He also thought about the years, the ups and downs, the pain and joy they’ve experienced together before they finally got together and they’ve been that way since.
Mac didn’t want to wake Riley up. He wanted to let her sleep in for a bit longer, since he got up early and decided to get dress and wait for Bozer, who was going to pick him up and take him to Jack’s place, where they would both change into their wedding suits. Mac had a shower and got dressed in his casual clothes. He writes a letter for Riley and leaves on his pillow next to her, so she can see it when she wakes up. He kisses her on her forehead before he goes. Mac exits his home quietly, holding his wedding suit in a garment cover and waits for Bozer to pick him up outside. A few minutes pass before Bozer eventually arrives in his car. Not wanting Bozer to shout in case he wakes up Riley, Mac put his finger on his own mouth, signalling to Bozer not to say anything, to which Bozer complies with. Mac enters Bozer’s car and puts his garment cover in the back next to Bozer’s, which has his suit inside of it as well. Mac turns to see Bozer all eagerly excited.
“Today’s the day, man. My best friend is getting married. You ready ?” Bozer whispered.
“Definitely. Let’s go.” Mac whispered back to him. The two men drive off and head to Jack’s place, who is waiting for them.
Jack’s place...
Mac and Bozer enter Jack’s apartment and see Jack nearly full dressed in his wedding suit. They see Jack has already started the celebration a bit early as he has music playing on his radio and a bottle of whiskey ready for him and the guys to drink before they head to the church.
“There he is. The groom to be. Bring it in.” Jack says, wanting to hug Mac, who gladly accepts the hug.
“Thanks Jack.” Mac says as they hug and smile.
“A bit early to bring out a bottle of whiskey, don’t ya think, Jack ?” Bozer says as he put his and Mac’s garment covers on Jack’s couch.
“Bozer, my friend, today is a special day. Today, our boy here becomes a bachelor no more and marries our lovely Riley. Before he does though, I suggest we toast a drink for just us guys here and that’s what the whiskey is for.” Jack explains.
“You do know I was never a bachelor, right ? I actually tried dating for years and then I got with Riley. I didn’t have one night stands or just went on one date with women, unlike a certain someone...” Mac says, directly looking at Jack, to which Bozer can’t help but laugh.
“Ok, fair enough. You may have not been a bachelor like yours truly but I still think we should toast to the three of us and to your marriage to Riley.” Jack says while smiling.
“Thanks Jack but i’m gonna have to pass. I want to be fully sober and not have my breath stink of whiskey before I marry Riley.” Mac tells him. Jack then looks at Bozer.
“What about you, Boze ?” Jack asks.
“Gonna have to pass too. Leanna will probably kill me if my breath stinks of whiskey as well.” Bozer replies. Jack then looks at his whiskey bottle.
“Well... more for me I guess.” Jack says, to which Mac and Bozer laugh. Later on, the boys get all dressed up in their suits and head outside. Instead of taking Bozer’s car, Jack suggests he leaves his car here and they take Jack’s GTO.
“We’re gonna arrive in style, boys. Hell yeah !” Jack shouts as they get in the GTO and drive off and head towards the church.
Outside of the church...
Mac, Bozer and Jack arrive at the church, to see Matty, Russ and Desi waiting for them. Matty is wearing a fancy black dress she bought especially for the wedding, Desi is in a green smooth dress and Russ is wearing his well known white tuxedo.
“Hey guys.” Mac says as he greets them.
“Looking good blondie. You all set and ready to go ?” Matty asks him.
“Absolutely.” Mac replies.
“Good. Let’s head inside shall we before the bride arrives.” Russ suggests. All of them head inside.
Inside the church...
The church is filled with people who work at Phoenix. Mac and Riley didn’t want a big wedding but they invited several people from different teams who work at Phoenix, from the IT department to other field agents. While Mac waits at the front of altar next to Bozer, he looks behind him to see the seats being filled up. He spots Matty, Russ, Desi and Kai sitting at the front row seats, with a few spaces left for Leanna, Diane, Elwood and Jack who is currently waiting in the middle of the church so he can walk Riley up to Mac when she, Leanna, Diane and Elwood eventually arrive. Mac smiles before turning around to see Bozer.
“You ok, man ? Not nervous at all ?”
“Not at all. Just excited and happy. You’re not gonna be nervous when you and Leanna eventually decide to get married, are you ?” Mac asks. Bozer looks at him with a straight face.
“Don’t even joke about that, man.” Bozer says, which Mac cracks a small laugh. Eventually, everyone hears that the bride has arrived and is about to enter the church. Traditional wedding music starts to play as everyone gets up from their seats while Mac and Bozer stand firmly still on the right side of the altar, watching the door that Riley will enter. The door eventually opens. Leanna enters first, wearing her maid of honour dress and walks up to where Mac and Bozer are. She takes her place by standing on the left side of the altar. Diane enters nexts, to which Jack smiles and winks at her. Diane can’t help but smile and wink back him as she goes pass him. A minute passes before Elwood enters holding a beautiful woman dressed in white in his arm. Everyone smiles and stares at the woman, first noticing her wedding dress as soon as she entered but for Mac, it wasn’t her wedding dress that he first noticed and looked at. The first thing he noticed was Riley’s beautiful smile...
