Chapter 12
Angie
It had been about two weeks of wedding planning. Mrs. Weasley had been a big help…she seemed excited about having another wedding. It wasn't going to be big just a few family and friends. Ginny and Alicia Spinnet were to be my bridesmaids. Not many people knew it but Alicia and me had gotten close over the summer after we'd left Hogwarts. She'd been very supportive about my feelings for Fred…and my thoughts about Katie. I thought it would be rude not to invite Katie…but she had no place in my wedding. Fred's best man was George…because quite frankly there was no one other
Then George to fit the part. I was wearing my mothers wedding dress. I had kept it for my wedding day…hoping it would fit me. Luckily Madame Malkins had no problem with loosening up the bust a bit which strangely had been a bit tighter then it had been a month ago. I had Ginny and Alicia dressed in halter neck yellow dresses that seemed to fit both of them perfectly.
I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My mothers dress was a long slim dress with a sweet heart neck line. It had a small train and corset that all fit me perfectly.
"ANGELINA!" Screamed Alicia excitedly running into the bedroom I stood in. She dropped her suitcase on the floor and ran towards me with open arms. I'd written to her in Egypt where she was traveling. I'd asked her if she could come home for my wedding and she had graciously put a stop to her trip for a month just to come down.
"Oh Alicia!" I said holding her tight to me. "Its so great to see you again!" Alicia pulled away and gave me a look up and down.
"You look amazing Angie! You and your beautiful curves" I blushed a little bit embarrassed with all the attention.
"Well throw on your dress…we have twenty minutes till the wedding" Ginny walked into the room already dressed and I gave her a big smile. "Great!" I said excitedly. "I have two gorgeous brides maids now all I need is a husband" Ginny chuckled a little and tossed me my bouquet. It was an assortment of flowers Ginny had found in the meadow me and Fred loved so much. Daisy's, Tulips, Roses everything was so beautiful. Ginny and Alicia only had bouquets of Daisy's but never the less every thing was gorgeous.
"I think we should head down to the meadow now…mum will have a cow if we're late" I gave Ginny a wink and we headed down towards the meadow.
Tears filled my eyes as I saw the beautiful alter decorated in colourful flowers. I could point out faces in the crowd of guests…faces I hadn't seen in years. Lee Jordan, Demelza Robins, Oliver Woods, Jimmy Peaks, and ofcourse Katie Bell… Fred's family was also there and some other friendly faces I recognized but it was nothing big. Some music came on signaling Fred and George to walk on.
"That's our cue" Alicia said passing me a wink as her and Ginny headed off down the aisle. I took in a deep breath. It was going to be alright I told myself. I felt a little dizzy all of a sudden and I suddenly thought of something I'd been avoiding all day…my parents weren't here. My dad should have been by my side right now walking me down the aisle but he wasn't…I was all alone. I would walk down that aisle solo... I took a few steps forward approaching the aisle and stopped as tears started to stream down my cheeks. Luckily I had water proof mascara on but still…they weren't tears of happiness. Getting married was supposed to be the happiest day of my life…instead I felt lonely and sad. I wanted my daddy…and my mom to be here. I wanted my mom to smile up brightly at me and say "I'm so happy for you." I started to walk down the aisle and everyone looked up at me with concerned eyes. I thought I might break down I just couldn't stop crying. I looked up at Fred who was giving me a sympathetic smile. When I finally reached him he grabbed my hands and gave them a squeeze.
"You miss you parents?" he whispered. I nodded and tried to wipe away my tears.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to celebrate the love of Fredrick Gideon Weasley and Angelina Elizabeth Johnson" I smiled at Fred as the minister went on. "Fred do you take Angelina to be you lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health till death do you part?" Fred nodded.
"I do, " he said giving my hand an affectionate squeeze.
"And Angelina do you take Fred to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health till death do you part?" I smiled at Fred.
"Of course…I do!" So that was it. I was Angelina Elizabeth Weasley, till death do us part.
