One Week In Cardiff

A/N Saturday 7th Febuary, day of the Civil Partnership. Okay it took me forever to write this chapter, i'm still not sure if i'm happy with the vows but i can't mess with them anymore or my head will explode! I hope you all like ...

Jack and Ianto were woken by the sound of Jack's mobile ringing, he fumbled for it half a sleep and answered it without even looking at the display to see who it was and had a very excited Gwen speaking into his ear.

'Jack, morning.' Gwen shrieked.

'Hi Gwen, please tell me your not calling because the rift monitor has one off?'

Jack felt Ianto move closer to him and wrap himself around Jack as Gwen answered.

'No, nothing like that, breakfast is served. I let myself, Martha and Donna in with the spare key you keep at the hub and we made you a special breakfast, I hope that's okay? It's ready and waiting for you both.'

'Yeah, hang on a minute.' Jack told her smiling.

'We need to get up.' Jack told Ianto. 'Surprise in the kitchen.'

Jack spoke to Gwen as they headed for the kitchen, her asking him in was excited, he laughed and told her of course he was. When they walked opened the kitchen door they were greeted by the most gorgeous sight and smells. There were two full cooked breakfast and toast and croissants and fresh fruit.

Jack and Ianto couldn't believe that their friends had managed to do all this without waking them up. Putting the phone between his and Ianto's heads they both shouted their thanks down to phone to Gwen, Martha and Donna. Martha told them they were welcome and to eat it before it got cold and they all shouted goodbye to them down the phone.

They took the food into the living room and sat down to eat, amazed they had managed to sleep till so late, it was nearly 9am, but they thought maybe it was because they were so happy the night before, they had spent a long time just kissing and cuddling before finally drifting off to sleep. The ceremony was at 1pm, that meant they had just four hours to get themselves ready for their big day.

After finishing breakfast they both put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and took showers, separately as they didn't trust themselves to not misbehave if they showered together and they were determined to not make love again till they were married, as they were both insisting on calling it. Ianto showered first and when Jack got out of the shower Ianto had all their clothes laid out on the bed.

Both of them just wrapped in towels looked at each other smiling before moving into each others arms and kissing softly.

'It's here, I can't believe the day is here at last.' Ianto told Jack.

Jack nodded. 'I'm so glad we brought the day forwards.'

'I'm praying nothing happens to ruin it.'

'Don't even think it, today is going to be perfect.'

'We should get dressed, time is whizzing by.'

'Rhys and Gwen aren't picking us up till 12.40, we've got loads of time.' Jack said as he kissed Ianto softly on the side of the neck making him let out a soft sigh.

'As much as I love you doing that, I fear it will lead to something else.' Ianto's eyes were closed as Jack continued to plant butterfly kisses on his neck.

'I know.' Jack told him, his voice barely above a whisper in his ear.

Ianto turned his head so he could capture Jack's mouth with his own, kissing him deeply for more than a few long minutes till they broke apart panting softly.

'Later, I promise you we can make love all night.' Ianto promised Jack.

'I'm beginning to wish I hadn't suggested we wait till we were married until we slept together again.' Jack pouted a little making Ianto laugh.

'You'll survive. Come on, we should get dressed.

After another long tender kiss they finally pulled away from each other and got dressed, then discovering they still had another forty minutes or so to wait for their lift to the hotel Ianto wento to make them coffee, just as something to do. While he was in the kitchen Jack's phone rang, it was Rhys.

'Jack? Hi mate, look sight problem with the car so we can't pick you up, but don't worry it all arranged, be outside the flat at 12.40 as arranged and your lift will be there, okay?'

'You are going to make the wedding though?' Jack asked, a little concerned.

'Yeah, no problem.'

'Who's picking us up?'

'Don't worry, you won't miss it.' Rhys told him laughing, then cut the call before Jack could ask him anything else.

They drank their coffee slowly, made sure they had their rings for each other and waited for the clock to get to the time to leave, it seemed to be going very slowly. They were just about to leave when there was a knock on the door, they opened it to find a man dressed as a chauffeur telling them their ride was there. They followed in amazement out to the street and found he had a vintage Bentley adorned with a ribbon.

They hadn't expected anything like this, they climbed in smiling all over their faces, aware that they were being watched by all their neighbours through their windows. As the car pulled away they held hands and sat stunned in the back of the car. When they arrived at the hotel Gwen, Martha, Tom, Donna, Damien, Chloe and the Doctor were all stood outside waiting waiting for them.

'Did you like our gift?' Martha asked them, indicating it was Tom and herself that had arranged it.

Jack and Ianto hugged them both tight in turn, thanking them for such a wonderful present, they chatted happily to them all for a few minutes before it was time for the ceremony. Jack and Ianto followed them all into the hotel, hanging back till the others had all got themselves seated and then they heard the classical music they had chosen start to play, signaling the start of the Civil Partnership.

Jack and Ianto looked at each other smiling, exchanged a chaste kiss and entered the room, walking down between their seated friends and family towards the smiling register. They stopped in front of her, not letting go of each others hands.

'We are gathered here today to join Jack and Ianto in Civil Partnership.' The Register spoke, then they spoke as she told them what to repeat after her.

'I solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment why I, Jack Harkness may not register a Civil Partnership with Ianto Jones.'

'I solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment why I, Ianto Jones may not register a Civil Partnership with Jack Harkness.'

'Jack and Ianto have written their own vows, Jack.'

'Ianto, I promise to be with you for as long as life allows, I promise to be faithful to you and take care of you as much as is humanly possible and love you, always and forever .'

'Jack, I love you with all my heart and always will, I promise to always be there for you for as long as I am able, to commit to you and you alone, always.'

Jack and Ianto then signed the Civil Partnership Schedule with the Doctor and Gwen as their witnesses.

'They will now exchange rings.'

'I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and and our Civil Partnership today.' Jack spoke as he slipped the ring onto Ianto's ring finger.

'I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and and our Civil Partnership today.' Ianto repeated as he did the same .

'As a token of the contract into which you have entered these rings are given and received and you are joined as partners. By virtue of signing the schedule in my presence as a register of civil partnerships and before the witnesses I declare that you, Jack and Ianto have now formed a civil partnership in accordance with the law. You may now kiss.'

Ianto and Jack smiled at each other as their lips met in a brief but tender kiss, Ianto felt a little flush creep into his cheeks but at that moment in time he was far to happy to care.

Jack and Ianto turned towards their family and friends, and led the way out of the room as more classical music played and walked towards the banquet room where their reception was being held, followed by their guests.

The room was breathtaking, tables draped with deep red tablecloths, red and while candles adorning each one of them and red and white roses arranged around the room. At the end of the room were two tables, one with the buffet and the other, as small one held their cake, iced beautifully with white icing and beautiful deep red roses arranged on the top.

The sound of their guests entering the room behind them bought them out of their trance, as they were surrounded by them. Ianto's mum pulled her son into a hug and kissed him softly on the cheek, her eyes a little red rimmed giving away the fact she had been spilling tears of happiness during the ceremony, then she did the same to Jack. Ianto's dad shook his hand and then hugged him, waiting for his wife to finish hugging Jack before he shook his hand and welcomed him into the family, then as a afterthought hugged him too.

Once Ianto's parents managed to dragged them selves away from them they were hugged and kissed by all, Gwen, Martha and Donna shedding tears of happiness as well as various family members. After what seemed like hours people finally found seats as the DJ announced he would be starting soon and playing three songs for the grooms as requested before 'livening up the joint.' making all the guests laugh. He also told them the Buffet was now open and they they should help themselves.

Jack and Ianto watched happily as their guests helped themselves to the buffet and Ianto's little nieces and nephews ran about. Once everyone had settled down the DJ spoke again as the opening bars of 'Heaven' sung by Bryan Adams started playing.

'Now Jack and Ianto will lead the first dance.'

They stood and moved to the dancefloor, holding each other close they moved to the music, grinning madly at each other, knowing their every move was being watched. As the track ended and 'Moonlight Serenade' started to play Jack's grin widened and he kissed Ianto softly on the lips, making the younger man blush a little again.

Ianto's parents, Gwen and Rhys, Martha and Tom and a few others not joined them on the dance floor. As the song then changed to 'Time of my life.' Jack gave Ianto a quizzical look as Ianto wrapped both arms around Jack's neck and pressed himself against Jack's body.

'Ready for some dirty dancing.' He said shyly in Jack's ear.

'Oh yeah.'

And with out a care in the world they moved their bodies as one to the music, Ianto had been worried he would chicken out from dancing to intimately with Jack in front of everyone, but he was so happy he didn't even think about it. When the track ended they walked from the dance floor and snuck outside onto the patio. Lit only buy a few small spotlights Jack pulled Ianto into the shadows and they kissed passionately.

'Thank you, for making me the happiest man on earth today.' Jack whispered to Ianto.

'I don't know about that, I'm rather happy myself.' Ianto said as he kissed him softly.

'I love you Ianto Harness-Jones.'

'As I do you Jack Harkness-Jones.'

'Just kiss me again.'

'Always.'

They stood there for a very long time, lost in their kiss, blocking out the whole world around them until someone opening one of the patio doors disturbed them.

'Do you two ever leave each other alone?' Martha asked laughing.

'Not if we can help it.' Jack laughed.

'You're being missed, people are looking for you. Your mum says it's time you cut the cake.'

'I'd rather stay here and snog Jack.' Ianto grinned.

'You can do that later, come on, make your mum happy.'

'Okay. We'll be in in a minute.' Ianto told her as he pulled Jack into his arms again.

'I give up.' Martha laughed and went to tell Ianto's mum they'd be back soon.

It was nearly ten minutes before they finally went back to the reception, Ianto's mum hugged them both again and then made them pose for photo's as they pretended to cut the cake, then it was cut for real and they discovered under the icing was a rich chocolate cake. Ianto's mum cut it and passed it out to the guests.

The music was now thumping a dance beat and Ianto dragged Jack back on the dance floor and they lost themselves to the beat, dancing through four or five tracks till they went back to their seats in need of drinks. They chatted to their guests till the early evening, drinking plenty of champagne, both of them so happy that they had made it though the day without a catastrophe messing it up.

As the reception began to draw to a natural close the music slowed down again and they took it in turns to dance with various friends and family, all the time wanting to be back in each others arms. When they finally got to dance with each other again they wrapped their arms around each other tight and danced on the spot, barely moving, just swaying to to music and when Jack kissed Ianto deeply in the middle of the dance floor he didn't care who saw them.
