Christmas Eve did not find Harry, now half way through his first year as an apprentice and having helped England win the world cup that summer, at a tree opening gifts, they had done that the day before instead. They found him standing at the doors to the gardens of the Manor in Devon, the beautiful coastal home where Harry had found sanctuary after the loss of his daughter, and where he and Lucius were about to exchange their vows. It had been six months since Lucius proposed, and though they had wanted a small ceremony, with quidditch the summer had been busy so they ha chosen to wait, Harry with two weeks off now for a honeymoon. They would miss the holiday tomorrow, so they had celebrated it two days early, as had their few guests for the wedding. Harry had been shocked when Lucius proposed, and touched he had asked Remus for his blessing, and had known this was right. The Weasleys, some of his friends like Neville and Luna, his old quidditch team, the Snakes, and even Severus had been invited, and Filius who he was apprenticing with. Severus had been worried about Harry's reaction, but Harry had assured him he would not deny his fiancé having Severus by his side, though Draco was his official witness. Harry had asked Fred to represent his brothers, closer to him then Ron, to stand up with him, but his official witness was Oliver, who after everything with Lily, he was still closest to.

Remus was there by his side, prepared to walk him down the aisle, wishing James and Lily could be there for their son, and Sirius. Tonks and her parents had come as well, invited by both grooms, as they were family for Lucius through his son. Remus could see how much his son was loved by Lucius, and in love, and though his parents would have hated how it had started, they would have been happy their son was about to marry a good man who he was madly in love with. Harry thought of his parents as well, and though he missed them, he had the only dad he had actually known at his side, and he would not have changed that. He had no idea what to expect, Lucius planning the wedding and honeymoon, leaving tonight for twelve days, without telling Harry. Lucius would be moving into his rooms at school, though they would spend weekends and holidays at the manor.

As the doors opened Harry was amazed, not knowing what to expect from the coast in the winter time, but it was beautiful. The ceremony was right down on the water, a warming spell used to keep them warm, simple rows of chairs facing the water, but Harry realized he arch was made out of drift wood. The aisle was lined not with flowers but with drift wood and shells, and the only flowers were beautiful lilies in the arch above where Lucius stood.

The minister spoke. "We are gathered together to join these two men in marriage. Who gives this young man in marriage?"

Remus smiled. "I do."

He turned to Lucius. "Do you Lucius Abraxas Malfoy, Lord Malfoy; take Harry as your husband and bond, united in body and soul, till death?"

"I do."

And to Harry. "Do you Harry James Potter, Lord Potter-Black; take Lucius as your husband and bond, united in body and soul, till death?"

"I do."

Draco handed a ring to Harry. "Take this ring and claim my dad as your husband while I stand witness."

Harry slid the ring on Lucius. "With this ring I claim you as my husband and bond."

Oliver handed a ring to Lucius. "Take this ring and claim my little brother as your husband while I stand witness."

Lucius slid the ring on Harry. "With this ring I claim you as my husband and bond."

The minister finished. "By the powers that be I pronounce you husbands. Lucius kiss your husband."

Lucius drew Harry into a long warm kiss, happy they were finally husbands, and looking forward to his future. He had been forced to marry Narcissa, and Harry had almost married Oliver out of friendship, but this marriage was one of love and devotion, and there was no doubt. Lucius did not find Harry's former fiancé being his best man odd, Oliver actually engaged, as Harry did not mind having Severus there either.

A beautiful reception which was an interesting mix of sea food and Christmas food, stuffed lobster replacing turkey and other such things, waited. There was a tent, and center pieces but like the runners they were made of shells, driftwood and some lilies, but no formal head table or such formality.

Harry rested his head against his husband as they shared their first dance s husbands. "You have made my dreams come true. This was perfect."

Dinner had been followed by a beautiful cheesecake supplied by Molly, and a beautiful fireworks display from he twins, but Lucius was anxious to whisk Harry off. He had sworn even though his proposal was low key, he would whisk Harry off his feet with wedding and honeymoon. Some might have thought the wedding was low key and it was, but it had been a dream wedding for Harry. Besides the honeymoon which he had planned, would have wowed even the likes of Narcissa. The guests all smiled when they watched the two grooms head off with the portkey.

When Harry opened his eyes when they arrived he stared in wonderment. "Where have you brought me?"

Lucius had known Harry had never traveled and had plenty of choices because of that.. "At a resort in one of he islands of the Maldives."

One of the most exclusive resorts in the Indian Ocean, Lucius had brought Harry here, for some romance in the tropics. The resort had some little villas along the water you could rent instead of in the hotel part of the resort, and he had got them the top villa. They had access to the resort for food, or the pool or such, especially diving for there were amazing reefs and things like whale sharks in the area, but they had their privacy, and a hammock even that Lucius thought they would try out.

There was some champagne and strawberries in chocolate waiting and Lucius toasted. "For making me happier then I have ever been, and to 12 days of romance."

Harry kissed him and tapped glasses. "And hopefully a good start on our first child."

They had decide they would start trying on their honeymoon, and Lucius found Harry made sure to stop him from contraception, as he led his husband to bed. They both would love a few children, and at least one boy but they both hoped for pink. Lucius had always wanted one of each, but Narcissa would not have more, and though when Harry was pregnant with Lily he had hoped for a son, after his loss, he wanted a little girl. But either way, all they wanted was a healthy baby in their arms, boy or girl, Harry just wanted to have a baby to bring home.

Hour later as they lay in each other's arms Harry reached up and kissed him. "As for your toast, I happen to think you're the one who made me the happiest ever."
