"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
James looked Lily in the eye. She noticed a tiny twinkling
as she stared back into his chocolate brown eyes. Oh, no. No, no, no, no,
no! she thought. Not in front on my whole family!
James lifted Lily's veil and grabbed her around the waist.
He kissed her long and hard. Lily got lost in the kiss and dreamt of the life
she would spend with James; the children they would have; the places they would
go.
"Now, now, James!" Lily heard his best friend and best man
Sirius say. James pulled out of the kiss and grinned wildly at Lily as everyone
in the small country church laughed along with Sirius.
As Lily turned to face the crowed, she caught her mother's
eye. Her mother gave a small smile. There were tears in her eyes. Lily's eyes
started to water themselves as she watched her mother.
James offered Lily his arm and she slipped her hand through. She smiled at the crowd, which was made up of mostly James' and her friends and family.
"Toss the bouquet!" teased Lily's friend Jessica.
"You want me to?" Lily replied.
"Yeah!" chorused all of Lily's friends, Muggle and Wizard, who had come.
"Toss it, Lily," James said from beside her. "At least now you don't have to worry about trying to catch it."
"Oh shut up, James!" she replied pinching his arm and grinning evilly.
Slowly, she turned and tossed the bouquet. Then, she turned back around to see who had caught it. It was Rosaline, Lily's younger Muggle sister.
"Rose, Rosie; you caught it!" Lily screamed, losing all the calm she had held. "You'll be the next to wed!"
"Ooh, I'm so excited!" Rosaline squealed, glancing at one of James' friends and blushing.
"Girls," James and Sirius sighed.

Lily and James were just outside their new house. It was a cute little country cottage out in Godric's Hollow, which was near London proper.
James opened his car door and got out. He went around to Lily's side and opened her door too, helping her out. Once she was completely out of the car, wedding dress and all, he lifted her off her feet and strode to the door of the house carrying her.
"Put me down, James Thomas Potter!" she ordered.
"You're not my mother, Lily," he answered, eyes twinkling again. Lily could have melted, she just loved those eyes and that hair, though it could never be tamed.
"Either way, I would like you to put me down, James."
"Oh, alright." He sighed and put her down in the living room.
"I didn't know the house was furnished!" Lily exclaimed, sitting in the blue denim loveseat and pulling out the white pillow that was behind her.
"I didn't either," James replied, slouching down next to her. "Mum and Dad bought everything down to the last brick. And we wouldn't have been able to get here without the car your mum and dad bought for us."
"Did they buy any clothes for us?" Lily asked.
"Who knows?"
"Well, I for one would like to get out of this dress."
"How 'bout we go check out the bedroom."
"Alright, then." Lily and James went to the bedroom and weren't surprised to see a closet full of clothes for each of them. After James grabbed some clothes and left the room to change, Lily got out of the wedding dress and hung it carefully in her closet. Then, she changed into shorts and a sleeveless (the mid-September heat was getting to her), clothes her mother would have probably forbidden had she still been at home.
After finding the bathroom and splashing her face, Lily made her way back to the living room. She sat back on the loveseat, curling her legs beneath her.
"You hot?" she asked, hugging a pillow in front of her.
"Yeah. I'll grab something for us to drink," James said, though he made no move to get up.
"Always thinking of your stomach, eh James? Has been that way since Hogwarts."
"No, I was actually getting nauseas from looking at your face."
"James!"
"A good kind of nauseas! I thought you were so pretty that I couldn't take my eyes off of you. You were in all my classes, always ate meals near me, always hung out in the common room with me; I'd swear I was obsessed with you."
"Keep going," Lily teased.
"Would you like me to?" James whispered, inching closer to Lily.
"Wouldn't mind," Lily breathed, just as James lips came across hers.
* * * * * * * *
"Are you sure you don't want to go see a doctor?" James asked as Lily came out of the bathroom after tossing her cookies yet again.
"I'm positive, James," she replied. "I've probably just caught that flu that was going around."
"From who? Your giggling buddies?"
Lily laughed, letting her hair fly over her shoulder. "Giggling buddies? Is that the best you can come up with, mister?"
"Unfortunately, it is. Listen, Lily," James said, "maybe you should go visit your mum. It's been months since you last saw her. And when was that? The wedding day itself?"
"Be quiet, James. You know we both went over to Mum and Dad's house after we came back from America."
"Ah, yes. Our honeymoon was a classic. Especially the hotel suite, eh?" He nudged her.
"Shut up, James." Lily blushed. "In any case, I guess I can go visit my Mum. Do I look okay?"
"Well, you've looked better…"
"I told you to be quiet. See you tonight!" She Apparated off to her parents' house.

[A/N Would
you like a guy to go nauseas over you? It'd make me feel like I'm ugly or
something.
And any comments about James's middle name: there's this kid in like five of my
classes named tom potter (his middle name is 'J' something too!) so I just
carried the name. We used to tease him about his brother Harry (he has no bro
w/that name but you get the picture).
Can you believe that at first I had all their living room furniture being
leather. Ugh, their thighs would've stuck to the couch! Hmm, the word 'thighs'
looks odd…must just be me.]
