Cedrella tuts in disapproval every few minutes she can't help herself. She doesn't want to be here at the Burrow and the moment Arthur and Molly are married she's going home.
She had never liked this place yet Septimus and her sons had always loved it, probably because it is one of the few properties the Weasley family have left. The rest have been sold and the money long gone.
One look at Molly's swollen belly and everyone knew why Arthur had to get married. Both of them barely out of Hogwarts having to get married because they had a baby on the way.
She likes Molly and would love grandchildren, but Cedrella knows that being married to a Weasley and raising children is not an easy task. The Weasley men were not cruel men, but they were dreamers who never earned enough money to feed the many mouths that they created.
Yet everyone here is happy and laughing, excited about the big day without thinking about what happens the next day or the day after that.
Then again its three pm and most of them have been drinking since nine am they probably don't know what day of the week it is let alone think about what's going to happen the next day.
That's another thing they have a baby on the way Molly and Arthur ought to be saving money to provide for the baby not forking out a lot of money for this wedding.
Cedrella is sure that half of the money that was spent was done to annoy her just because she suggested that they put the baby up for adoption when she first found out that Molly was pregnant.
The suggestion hadn't been made out spite, but because Cedrella was being practical not that Arthur or Molly could see that. No, they took as she didn't like Molly which wasn't true.
She's not sure if she was invited to this wedding to heal the rift or if basically a way for them to tell her they will do whatever they want.
That's the problem with the young they think they know everything and everyone else is wrong. She'd been the same way she told family, she was marrying Septimus and that was that.
All that had gotten her was blasted of the family tree, children she struggled to raise and husband who died leaving her penniless.
So if they had invited her to the wedding just to basically show her they would do whatever they wanted then she had one thing to say "Welcome to the family Molly.".
Because if they are too stubborn to listen to her then its on them not her.
The worrying about not having enough money or when the next baby comes how to cope with another hungry mouth to feed is all of them. molly will become like every other Weasley woman before her, tired and forever running around after children.
