The Big Day

As Ginny stood in front of the mirror in her old bedroom at the Burrow she couldn't actually believe that her big day was finally here. Her mother and friends bustled around the room behind her chattering and fussing but Ginny didn't hear them. She didn't feel it as the tugged at her hair or straightened her dress or finally stood back and admired her. She didn't hear her mother burst into a tearful monologue about how proud she was.

All she could feel were the butterflies dancing in her stomach and all she could hear was the pounding of her heart in her ears. She saw the beautiful woman in the mirror with long red hair and a classy white lace dress but she couldn't quite match her up with the slightly hefty child that she considered herself to be.

Ginny turned around to face the women that surrounded her and she felt her face break into a brilliant smile but it was like her body was reacting without her prompting it. She was so nervous about making this commitment that would last for the rest of her life.

A big bouquet of beautiful rose and other flowers was thrust into her hands and she posed for a few photos with her mother before being hustled out of the house and into the garden. The big white marquee tent had been set up my all her male brothers and cousins and she could hear the chatter from all her family and friends inside.

She took a deep breath as she came to a stop beside her father who took her arm and squeezed it gently she was vaguely aware of her mother slipping into the tent but she was focusing on taking deep steadying breaths.

"Are you okay sweetheart?" her father whispered to her as the music began to play and her bridesmaids fell into line. She nodded probably a little quicker than she should have and smiled gently at her dad. "The prize is in sight sweetie it's all going to be so fantastic for you."

The line of bridesmaids disappeared through the tent flaps and step by step Ginny got closer and closer to the biggest moment of her life. She had no idea if this whole idea could ever live up to the images she had in her head. She had imagined her life with Harry since she was just a little girl and now she was actually faced with the life she had dreamed of she was afraid of it.

With one last squeeze of her hand her father began to walk her down the aisle. Ginny kept her head down for the first few steps terrified of all the eyes glued to her but when she looked up all her fears and doubts melted away.

Harry was stood there at the end of the aisle and he looked just as, if not more, terrified than she felt. He had always been pale but right now he looked sickly. He was wringing his hands together as Ron whispered frantically in his ear.

Ginny couldn't help the fond smile that graced her lips as she watched him look up and meet her eye and as he did colour flushed his cheeks and his mouth parted slightly. Ginny knew in that moment that she was doing the right thing. The fact that the mere sight of each other could calm them both down meant that they were meant to be.

Ginny made it to the top of the aisle and stood facing the love of her life. Her father proudly gave him her hand and the officiant started the ceremony. Ginny remembered all the words, she remembered promising to love and be faithful to this man for the rest of her life and she remembered how happy she felt when they were declared man and wife.

Ginny knew that they were now legally married and the would belong to each other for the rest of their lives but she knew in her heart that no matter what the little piece of paper said she and Harry had always been meant to be.
