AN: Since I did Ron's thoughts I figured I should do Hermione's. It's not the longest chapter, but I feel it says so much more, than it actually does.
Hermione's Thoughts
I got to the threshold, and waited for my cue to walk down the runway. I saw him, my tall gorgeous soon-to-be husband and I couldn't stop grinning. He was smiling at me, how I love that smile. I saw his eyes glistening happily. I looked around briefly and saw our mums crying together, which only brought more tears to my eyes. Harry stood next to him, trying to hold back tears, while Ginny stood next to my space, she looked at her brother and her smile widened. She glanced back at me and tears fell from her eyes. We were all very, very emotional; it had been a long road for us. My father looked at me and nodded, indicating it was time to walk towards Ronald. Once we got to him dad took his hand and brought him to a hug. I heard him tell Ron 'Take care of her.' To which he replied. 'Always, sir.'
The ceremony started. We took a space to honour Fred, who had welcomed me into the family long before I admitted, even to myself, I wanted to be a part of it. The wedding continued, and soon it was time to say our vows. We had decided I was to go first, because I would become a wreck really quickly.
We stood face to face. We took each other's hands. He looked into my eyes and I felt my heart skip a beat. He looked stunning; his red hair shone, his freckles adorned his face, his smile was wide and his eyes were deep. How I wanted to kiss him, to feel my hands on his hair. It felt like we were the only ones in the world. He squeezed my hand and brought me back to Earth.
I turned to Ginny and she handed me a neatly folded paper, my vows. I took the paper from her and looked back at Ron. I unfolded it, my hands trembling. My heart was threatening of bursting out of my chest. He put his hand on my cheek and wiped the tears away.
"R-Ron," I started to read, my voice shaky. "If anyone had told me I would meet my soon-to-be husband on my first train ride to school, I would've easily said they were mental." He smiled, my knees were shaking. "We weren't immediate friends though. Our friendship grew, as we did, especially you; it grew exponentially. I will never forget when you saved me; which time? All of them. Whether it was from a rude comment or death itself, you have saved me in so many ways it's incredible." He had a tear rolling down his freckly cheek; now it was my time to remove it. "Yes, I have suffered heartbreaks and heartaches; but more importantly I have felt how healing love can actually be. How you can fix me with a couple of words. Ever since our third year, you have influenced all of my decisions, whether you were aware of it or not. You have made me want to be a better person." My voice faltered. He gave me a reassuring glance.
"You have no idea how much I want to kiss you right now." Apparently I said this louder than I thought, because everyone gave a laugh. 'Me too.' He said back caressing my left cheek. "Ron, you get me like no one else does. Not only you put up with all of my mental ideas, you embrace them. You listen to all my crazy rants about everything and nothing at the same time. Even when you pretend you're not listening to me, I know you are. You challenge me in every way possible." I took a deep shaky breath "I'm almost done, don't worry." He smiled 'I could listen to you forever.'
"You are my rock, Ronald. It has always been you, not Harry, not Viktor, not anyone else, but you, my best friend. You are the one that makes me grow. You have taught me patience, kindness, loyalty, sacrifice; I could go on forever… But most importantly you, Ronald Bilius Weasley, have taught me how to love." I looked into his tear brimmed eyes. "I love you, I love you, I love you; I can never say it enough."
AN: Since my cousin got married Saturday I figured why not do this chapter as wedding vows. I hope I did justice to Hermione and her vows. Again thank you for all your support and encouragement it means a heck of a lot!
