Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on
The next memory was the happiest day of her life, their wedding.
Of course first is the proposal.
They were sitting on the end of the dock with their feet hanging down. Tonks sat in her hot pink polka dot bikini and Remus in his green trunks. They had been dating for 1 month now.
"This time one year ago, I confessed my love for you and then ran like a coward. I'm so sorry Nymphadora."
"For what?"
"Being a stupid coward."
"You weren't a coward. You were just scared for my safety."
"Exactly. But there was a reason I brought you here, love."
"Why?"
"It was in this spot I first fell in love with you. And I couldn't think of a better place to do this."
Remus got on one knee and pulled out a diamond ring.
"Oh Remus."
"Nymphadora Tonks, I love you more than you could know. So I have something very important to ask you. Will you marry me?"
"Yes!" she yelled. He put the ring on her finger and she tackled him in a hug.
Remus just cupped her face and looked deep into her eyes. Then kissed her every so passionately.
Then they sat up again and put their feet on the end of the dock.
"Remus… Can I ask you something?"
"You just did, but yes."
"How did you afford this, not to be nosy? But I don't want you to waste all your money on me."
"No worries. Before Sirius died," he saw the pain in her face, "he talked to me about loving you. He gave me a lot of money just to pay for the ring and the entire wedding."
"That was sweet of him."
"Well, what do you want to do now?" he looked at her and the tears running down her face from the mention of Sirius.
"I don't know." Remus stood up and puller her up with him. Then he held her close to him as she cried into his chest. "I just can't believe he's really gone, and it's been over a year."
"I know love, I know."
They just stood there for a few minutes as she cried. That was when Remus got an idea. He put one hand under her knees and lifted her up, then he started walking towards the lake.
"No Remus. No, don't do it." She clung onto his neck. Then he jumped in.
They both came to the surface laughing. But Tonks only threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. He responded eagerly putting his on her waist under the water. They just kissed for a while. Then Remus lifted Tonks up and threw in the water again.
"UGH, Remus!" she said wiping the water from her face.
"I love you." He said sweetly and kissed her.
"How can I be mad at you when you do that?"
"You can't."
"What do you say? Should we go back to my flat and celebrate our engagement?" she smiled evilly.
"I'd love to." He kissed her again and lifted her legs so they wrapped around him as her hands entangled in his hair.
The wedding was less than 3 weeks later. They knew that they had to do it soon for the war was rising. They also had to do it before they rescued Harry because of the chance of death was high in that battle, if the death eaters knew, if not it would be smooth sailing.
"Dora, sweetie, are you ready to go?" Ted Tonks stood in his tux waiting for his daughter.
Tonks' dress tied behind the back and it was tight at the top, but flowed out after her waist.
"Just one second." Tonks replied.
Then she scrunched up her face, making her hair the same color as Remus', and her eyes turn an icy blue.
"You look beautiful Dora. I love you so much. And I'm so proud of you." Ted Tonks put her veil on for her, gave her a hug, then linked arms, and they started towards the church doors and the aisle. When they got to the alter, Remus took her.
"You look beautiful, I love you." He whispered to her quickly as Ted kissed her cheek.
"I love you too."
The wedding was just like a usual wedding. But it was a lot smaller. Only the Weasleys, Hermione, Kingsley, Mad-eye, Tonks' parents, McGonagall, Fleur, Hestia Jones (Tonks Order friend and childhood friend as they grew up in Hufflepuff together), and Remus' uncle (who raised him after his mother died) were invited.
Hermione and Ginny were her bridesmaids. Bill and George were his groomsmen.
They had their first dance to "A Thousand Years" by Christina Peri.
Tonks smiled at this memory as she ate breakfast and Andromeda fed Teddy.
