The Ceremonial Bonding of Tom Marvolo Riddle and Emily 'Emmy' White
By imafeckingstarr
Summary: You are cordially invited to the ceremonial bonding of Tom Marvolo Riddle and Emily 'Emmy' White. Dress accordingly, preferably white, silver or black. The wedding of Emmy and Tom is finally here, and you're all invited! Will this be the happy day that Emmy has always wanted? And will it go according to plan? Of course it will! Or will it?
A/N: I'm sorry about the lack of updating! All's well, I've updated this, and will (hopefully) be updating The Adventure of a Marauder very soon!
I Now Pronounce You Mr and Mrs!
It's the day everyone has been waiting for, the one everyone's been talking about, the day that Tom Riddle and Emily 'Emmy' White finally tied the bloody knot, and about two hours before the wedding you apparate to Riddle Manor to help Emmy get ready as she loved what you did to the Bridesmaids' hair and make-up earlier in the week. With your own outfit and shoes in a bag, ready for you to change into later, you dump it in Emmy's wardrobe and sit her in a high chair that you managed to Transfigure out of some spare boxes lying around (may as well put them to some use, hm?).
"What kind of look are you going for?" You ask her as you drape a plain black cloak around her front.
"Well..."
By the time you're finished with Emmy, you barely have half an hour to get yourself ready, and you thank your lucky stars that you're not a Bridesmaid, or that would have been awkward. You slip your dress robes on and cram your feet into your shoes and sneak into the main hall where the wedding is to take place, seeing a spot next to Alphard Black and – whom you presume is – his date, you sit there, anxiously waiting for Emmy to arrive. You notice Tom standing at the front with the wedding official from the Ministry, you also notice that there's a strange gleam in his eyes though he looks calm and collective, as usual.
Wedding nerves, you think as you scan the crowd. There are several familiar faces who smile at you when you meet their eye, oddly enough, Professor Albus Dumbledore is there too, looking spectacular in a pair of silver wizard robes that clashed beautifully with his beard, which you noticed looked slightly longer than you remember.
He's growing it out, you muse, quickly snapping you out of your reverie, the traditional wedding march begins to play, and along with everyone else, you stand and watch as the Bridesmaids make their entrance. They look stunning, with their hair tied up in a sophisticated French braid and light, pink make-up. But nothing compared to Emmy, who waltzed down the aisle in her beautiful satin dress, her hair cascading down her back in elegant curls, sparkly blue hair grips securing loose strands of hair. Her eyes were outlined in familiar kohl eyeliner (she wouldn't be Emmy without it!) and her lids were rimmed with shimmery, silver eye shadow. Her smile lit up the whole room, and the moment her eyes met Tom's it was as if the whole world had stopped and it was just those two.
Tom looked stunned, as if he'd never seen the girl he loved look so striking. He almost looked as if the wind had been knocked out of him – almost. The Ministry official shushed the crowd, who were murmuring sweet things about the way the pair looked, and asked them to sit. Alphard, who managed to catch your eye as you fixed your robes, gave you a cheeky wink, you merely rolled your eyes. Date or no date, he still managed to find a way to flirt with you.
"Do you, Tom Marvolo Riddle, take this woman, to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love, honour and protect her? Keep her in sickness and in sorrow and be faithful to her forever more?" The Ministry official asked, and you could feel yourself getting emotional as Tom said "I do". When Emmy proclaimed her love and promised you broke down completely, mascara running down your face.
"I give you this ring in token and pledge as a symbol of all that we share with my constant faith and abiding love. Now that you have joined yourselves in matrimony, may you strive always to meet this commitment with the same spirit you now exhibit. May Merlin bless this union! I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Tom riddle, you may kiss the bride."
Fireworks exploded, literally, behind the newlyweds as they performed the final act of their marriage, their first kiss as a married couple. Sobbing, you throw a little flower at the two as they run past you, Emmy smiled widely at you, giving you silent thanks for everything that you did to help. You smile back, mouthing 'have fun' at the pair, who smirk at you, clearly indicating that they will, indeed, have fun on their honeymoon.
Aw, how romantic! So that was their wedding, and they do indeed, have a lot of, ahem, fun, on their honeymoon ;) Of course, all will be revealed - well, not the sordid details - in "The Adventure of a Marauder" so keep a look out!
I hope you liked reading this as much as I like writing it!
