Chapter Four: The Perfect Wedding

The sun was shining brightly in the mid afternoon sky. It was a warm spring day and it was also the perfect day to have a wedding outside the Burrow of the Weasley homestead.

Sabrina was checking her reflection in the stand up mirror, adding on the finishing touches. Sabrina's wedding dress was beautiful. It was a simple pure white satin silk and the gown reached all the way down to her feet.

"You look absolutely beautiful," Molly whispered as she gave Sabrina a careful hug so her gown would not get wrinkled.

Sabrina twirled around in her dress and smiled. "Thank you so much for allowing us to have our wedding here, Molly," she said.

"Oh, you are certainly welcome," Molly replied with a smile on her face. "Need some help with your veil?"

"Yes, please," she said as she handed the veil to Molly. The matriarch placed the veil on Sabrina's head and adjusted it to where it would not fall off during the ceremony. Molly checked her watch and it was ten minutes to three.

"We better get a move on," Molly said as she led Sabrina out of the house.

The backyard was filled with friends and family even though the wedding did not begin for another fifteen minutes. Ornamenting everything were white ribbons and little pink roses, the two colors Sabrina wished to be used for the wedding. The weather was perfect with the sun shining bright in the afternoon sky.

Both rows of seats were full with friends and family. Sabrina poked her head out the door of the as she scanned the area with Fred and Bill following behind her. She saw Charlie waiting on the spot where she was supposed to be led down the center walkway to meet her groom.

I wish you all could be here to see this perfect wedding, Alice, Sabrina thought to herself as she blinked back the tears that were threatening to come out as Bill headed out the door to find him a seat.

Sabrina suddenly just stood there frozen in her spot. Her brain was telling her feet to move, but her legs simply did not want to move. Great, she thought. What a lovely time to get cold feet on the day of my perfect wedding.

Fred noticed that Sabrina had not moved from her spot and he walked over to her and asked gently, "Sabrina, are you okay?"

Sabrina did not answer him, she just simply stood there for a moment. She needed some time to herself.

"I need some time to myself," she said as she darted back into the spare room she used for her changing room.

Charlie saw Sabrina dart off and he walked over to Fred and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know," Fred said. "Sabrina said she needed some time to herself."

"Do you know where she went?" Charlie asked.

"I don't know she could be anywhere inside the house," Fred said.

"Her changing room is shut," Charlie said.

Molly came to see what the big commotion was about. "What's going on?" she asked as she looked at her sons.

"To be honest Mum," Fred said. "We are not really sure. We think Sabrina has gotten cold feet."

Understanding dawned on Molly's face and she gently shooed the men from the bridal room. "I'll go check on the bride," she said. "You lot are probably making her more nervous than she already is."

Fred and his brothers nodded and they headed back outside with the others.

Sabrina was checking her reflection in the stand up mirror, adding on the finishing touches. Sabrina's wedding dress was beautiful. It was a simple pure white satin silk and the gown reached all the way down to her feet. Her hair was curled in ringlets around her face. She was debating on whether to stay or run. She did not like big crowds people, and this wedding had many people she didn't know. She was about to turn and Disapparate when Molly came in. She smiled, gently placing a hand on Sabrina's arm.

"Don't worry dear," she said. "You will do fine. Charlie is waiting to take you up the aisle. He will walk you to the front and Fred/George will be waiting there. Then all you have to do is repeat after the priest."

Well when Molly put it like that it made is seem less daunting. Taking a deep breath, Sabrina walked forward, slipping out the door to where Charlie waited for her.

Sabrina shook her head and said, "I can't go through with this. This was never the way I pictured my wedding day without the rest of my family."

"Sabrina," Charlie said gently. "They would want you to go through with the wedding. Your parents and Alice loved George. They always said that you two were made for each other."

Sabrina smiled sadly. "I know," she said as she shook her head. "I was being paranoid."

"It's normal for the bride to get cold feet," Charlie said and Sabrina threw her arms around Charlie and said, "Thanks for everything you have done for me."

Charlie returned the gentle hug and said, "Let's go before George has a Hippiogriff and sends the Calvary after you and then bites my head off for keeping everyone waiting. You two are perfect for each other."

"You really think so, Charlie?" she asked.

"Yes," Charlie said. "I would not have said it if I did not mean it."

Sabrina smiled and said, "Thanks. I needed to hear that."

Charlie hooked his arm through Sabrina's arm and he led her down the aisle.

A collection of great sighs issued from the assembled family that watched as Charlie led his Goddaughter down the aisle. Sabrina glided, with Charlie beaming with pride.

As soon as Sabrina stood beside George, Charlie let her arm go and George held her hand in his.

"Do you, George Weasley, take Sabrina Keira Solo as your lawfully wedded wife?" asked the holy man. "To love and to cherish in sickness and health, poor or rich, till death do you part?"

George looked at Sabrina and nodded. "I do."

"Do you, Sabrina Keira Solo, take George Weasley as your lawfully wedded husband?" asked the holy man. "To love and to cherish in sickness and health, poor or rich, till death do you part?"

Sabrina looked back at George and nodded. "I do."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife," the man said.

George lifted Sabrina's veil and kissed her on the lips.

When they broke apart the holy man smiled. "I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. George and Sabrina Weasley."

Fred, Bill, Percy, and Charlie let out a round of applause and then a Shania Twain country song called From This Moment On began to play and George led Sabrina out on the dance floor for their first slow dance.

George wrapped his arm around her waist and Sabrina wrapped her arm around George's waist and held him close as they slow danced to their song.

After they slowed danced Sabrina and all the bridesmaids gathered around to catch the bouquet. Sabrina turned around and then she threw her bouquet up in the air. When she threw them in the air, Hermione was the first person to catch the flowers and then Harry walked over to where Hermione was and then another song began to play.

"Would you like to dance?" Harry asked.

"Sure," Hermione said.

Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione and slowed danced with her to the next the song that began to play.

Fin!
