On their wedding days brides have the tendency to get nervous. They pace and freak out because what if they're making a huge mistake? What if it's too soon? What if he's sleeping with her sister? Are the flowers right? Will everyone be on time? There was so much to worry about!

Except for Luna there wasn't. The worst had already happened to her and George and they had survived it. Saying no had been a huge mistake. Getting married felt so right and she was excited to walk down the aisle. George should have been the man she married the first time around and after years of being together no one could argue it was too soon. Unfortunately Luna didn't have a sister or any blood relatives to invite to the family, let alone for George to sleep with and she certainly wasn't sleeping with his. Ron and Ginny were the only siblings of his that she saw on a regular basis but that didn't matter. Since that summer spent cooped up in The Burrow caring for George he had been the only one she could ever truly love. Now her dreams were coming true. What did it matter if the flowers were wrong? Flowers couldn't even be wrong! Nothing mattered but saying "I do". Nothing mattered but uniting their family.

How much longer would she have to wait? If it weren't for the fact that the twins needed feeding Luna would have rushed out of Ginny's house and run to the chapel to start the wedding early. Sadly the twins weren't quite one yet and so definitely still needed to be fed by others. Patiently she helped Lorcan with his bottle whilst Hermione fed Lysander. A baby bump of her own was growing which made Luna smile. Ginny had recently had hers which was why she was out of the room. James Sirius Potter was a little poop machine whose nappy needed changing every ten seconds it seemed.

"No, Freddie, don't!" Mrs Weasley called, chasing the tot about the room.

Somehow he had shimmied out of his little suit and was running about naked around the room. Luna laughed because this was the third time that day he'd managed to worm his way out of clothes.

"Freddie, do as Grandmama says!" Luna laughed.

As he passed by she lifted her foot so he ran into her leg and bounced backwards into Molly's arms. Freddie pouted but otherwise did as his mother bid him and let his grandmother put his clothes back on.

"How much longer?" Luna turned to Hermione who just smiled.

"Not long now." Was her answer.

She was right. Compared to the years she'd had to wait to arrive at this moment it wasn't long at all.

As Luna walked down the aisle she struggled to remember to breathe. George stood at the front of the chapel alone other than the squat minister who seemed to be the only wizard religious official in the whole of England. Hermione and Ginny were off to the left slightly by the alter in their matching plum bridesmaid dresses. Luna smiled as Freddie freed himself from Ginny's grip and rushed over to her.

"Mummy, mummy!" He giggled, hugging her legs.

Luna ignored everyone watching her and bent down to Freddie's height.

"You do look very handsome in those clothes," She told him with a smile. "Did you want to walk me down the aisle?"

Freddie nodded and Luna's heart swelled. There was no one to give her away. There never had been until her son, blissfully unaware as he was, decided to be cute and that just made everything a whole lot better. Standing back up again Freddie grabbed Luna's hand with his own small one and together they finished the walk to George. When it was time to let go Freddie walked over to his father and hugged him too before wandering off to go sit with Bill.

Together Luna and George laughed before turning to the minister hand in hand. Everything was going to be alright from then on. She could feel it.

The ceremony didn't last long which was for the best. They had gotten married in the church where Fred's funeral had been held after all. George was okay though, or as okay as he could have been. He did all his crying during the planning when Luna suggested that Fred be his best man as had always been the plan since before his twin died. It was such a sweet gesture that George had broken down upon hearing it. He agreed though in the end which Luna was thankful for. She knew on that day of all days George might need his twin brother.

It was never going to be a big wedding because Luna and George didn't really have many friends outside of their family. Of course all the Weasleys and their own families were there which greatly swelled their numbers. Neville had travelled down for the weekend from his teaching post at Hogwarts to join the festivities, as had Hagrid. Dean Thomas, Alicia Spinnett, Oliver Wood, Katie Bell and Lee Jordan all made it too so Gryffindor was truly represented during the reception but again, Luna was lacking a little. Ms Dockety was growing old very fast it seemed and she sat in a corner gossiping to Mrs Weasley. Several of the shop assistants were cooing over Lorcan and Lysander as the slept under the watchful eye of Ginny.

Despite the small size of the wedding party it was still wonderful. Once they were officially united George didn't let go of Luna all evening. If they weren't holding hands he had his arm around her waist or his hand on the small of her back. George's constant touch was a reminder to Luna that she wasn't dreaming, that this was really happening. She couldn't have been happier.

"Come with me," George whispered in Luna's ear while everyone was on the floor dancing.

With a nod and a smile that made Luna feel like a teenager again, she took George's hand and followed him out of the gazebo into the night. George twirled Luna under the stars before kissing her.

"I love you and I promise never to let you go again." He told her.

And that was a promise he kept for the rest of their lives.
