Okay, This is roughly betaed in a rush. Sorry, But at least you have a chapter now :) :) :)

"Dum, dum, dah, dum! Dah, dum, dah, dum!" Remus hummed loudly as he wandered into the guest bedroom.

"Gah!" Sirius pulled a pillow over his head, and Peter fell out of the bed, "Too loud, too bright, go away Remus."

"No, no, up we get. Off to get in line for Beth's hangover cure. We have five hours until the wedding and we all have to be in tip top shape or Lily will kill us."

"I believe that." Peter interjected from the floor.

"How's James doing?" Sirius asked from below his pillow.

"He's doing fine. Beth has already seen to him and now he's pacing around the living room muttering to himself."

"So right on schedule then..."

"Yes, now both of you into the kitchen. Beth needs to get back to Lily, so up and out." Sirius and Peter both begrudgingly dragged themselves out of the room and headed for the kitchen. Remus stopped off in the living room to see James.

"How ya doing mate?"

"Four hours and thirty-seven minutes."

"Yeah. You gunna be okay?"

"What if she changes her mind? What if she thinks I am a bullying toe rag again? What if she doesn't love me anymore?"

"James, do you honestly think she will stop loving you?"

"No."

"Then stop worrying about it. Do you think Lily is freaking out this badly?"

"Probably not." James took a deep breath, and then sighed. "Okay, okay. Thanks Remus. You're right, everything is okay. Just do me a favor and don't let lily know I was silly enough to freak out. "

"Your secret is safe with me James. Don't worry."


"What the hell am I doing?" Lily screamed.

"Annoying your hairdresser. Sit still. I am trying to get this curl just right." Sam tugged a piece of Lily's hair around the tip of her wand.

"This is so stupid. What am I getting married for?"

"Because you are in love. Stop fidgeting."

"so what? I am going to settle down and start a family with James Potter? JAMES POTTER of all people! Do you know how long I hated him for?"

"A long time." Sam had given up on getting Lily's hair done while she was this worked up.

"And now I am going to promise to love him for the rest of my life? What is wrong with me?"

"Nothing is wrong with you. You are in love, you will love him for the rest of your life, and you need to stop freaking out. You're giving me a headache."

Lily sat back down and stared at her reflection for a moment. "You're right. I'm just nervous. Do me a favor and don't tell James I freaked. He'll make fun of me."

"Eh, don't worry about it. Now sit still, we've only got four hours and you've got a lot of hair."


The ceremony itself was short and sweet, mostly because Lily didn't expect Sirius to behave through a long one. Before they knew it they were all gathered in the reception hall eating away.

"Well, I Mrs. Potter I I'm sorry to inform you that I am now the only sane one left." Sam smiled from a couple seats away.

"Eh, you're just jealous." Lily laughed, smiling at James who was all too daintily lifting his fork to his mouth. He winked at her, and Lily's mind traveled back to the sixteen year old boy who brought his face to the food instead of the other way around.

After a few minutes, Sirius stood up and cleared his throat loudly. The small wedding reception turned to look at him.

"Hi guys, as you all know, I've known this poor man since we were eleven year old." Sirius clapped James on the back, "You all know that I consider him to be my very best mate, but he is not my focus today. No, today is about his beautiful bride, Lily. For some reason unknown to mankind this woman pledged her life to being with this man. When she did that, James changed. He became more responsible, more socially aware, and more sensitive. For all of that I only have one thing to say to you." Sirius moved from his chair and got down on his knees in front of Lily's chair. He took one of her hands in his and yelled, "Please! Give James back!" while shaking her arm.

Everyone started laughing and Lily pulled her arm free from Sirius. "I will not." She laughed.

"Good," James interjected, "Because I really am better off with you than Sirius."

"Hmpf." Sirius crossed his arms over his chest, "I'm going to hang out with Remus." He announced heading to the other side of the table, "He still likes me. He named his kid after me. Isn't that right little Sirius junior?"

"Oh? He's Sirius junior now, is he?" Beth asked.

"Yes, I know you say SJ stands for Sirius James but I know the truth." Sirius tapped the side of his nose.

"For the record, you just implied that you slept with my wife and fathered my child." Remus glared at Sirius.

"But, also for the record, I would never sleep with Sirius. No offense Paddy, you're just not my type."

Sirius crossed his arms over his chest again, and stormed away from the table as the band began to play.

James stood up and offered his hand to Lily. Together they walked to the center of the dance floor, where Lily laid her head on James's chest, and James wrapped his arms tightly around her. They weren't so much as dancing as just swaying back and forth with the music, and just enjoying each others closeness.

"I wish we could stay like this forever." Lily whispered.

"I don't." James whispered back, "I want to enjoy our honeymoon. I want to start a family. I want to spend ever last minute of my life loving you." Lily smiled up at James as her eyes began to water. "I love you, Lily Potter."

"I love you, too, James Potter."
