Fred's wedding went by in a flash. It was a very beautiful flash mind you,
but Hermione and Ron were anxious for it to be over so they could start
planning theirs. Hermione's parents had died earlier so she didn't have any
other family to plan her wedding with. She missed her parents a great deal
but it was much better now that she had a mom and dad again.
When Fred and Angelina got back from their honeymoon they made the announcement. It was a big family dinner this time held at Ron's house. They had a pool party barbeque since Ron didn't have enough room in his flat to accommodate his family. When they were all sitting down with their plates Ron stood up. Hermione laced her fingers in his. "Hermione and I have an announcement. We're engaged!" he blurted out excitedly.
The whole party exploded with screams, laughs, and yells, (from the men) of elation. Ron was patted on the back so many times that he felt like he probably had a big bruise on his shoulders. Harry and Ginny hugged both of them so tightly that they felt like they were suffocating. Mrs. and Mr. Weasley exchanged knowing glances.
"How long have you been engaged?" Ginny asked when things had calmed down.
"We've known since before Fred and Angelina's wedding. We got engaged the day after the big dinner at your house," Hermione answered. "We didn't tell you because we didn't want to take the limelight away from Fred and Angelina," she explained.
"This is so HUGE! I've known you guys were meant to be forever but I didn't think you actually get the guts to ask her Ron," Harry spouted looking like a kid in a candy store.
"Thanks Harry," Ron said sarcastically.
They said goodbye to everyone and retired to their couch to watch a cheesy romantic comedy.
Five months later Ron was standing at the front of a big, white church watching his love walking down the isle with her arm linked with his father. She looked perfect with her sleeveless, poufy dress swaying. Her hair was falling in perfect ringlets from her bun, her veil masking the happy tears that were falling down her face.
The ceremony was a blur, all Ron remembered was: "Ronald Arthur Weasley, will you take Hermione Merriam Granger for your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do,"
"Hermione Merriam Granger, will you take Ronald Arthur Weasley for your lawfully wedded husband?" "I do".
"Let this that God has brought together, never be torn apart. You may kiss your bride," the minister who had baptized Ron said happily. Ron kissed Hermione with a happiness that he would never be able to express in words. "I now present to you Mrs. and Mr. Ronald Arthur Weasley!" Minister Martin exclaimed joyfully.
Ron and Hermione Ran down the isle together and out into the late afternoon sun. They burst through the doors and people through rose petals and released thousands of tiny, blue butterflies into the blue sky. They got into the carriage and rode to Rose Park. They had a tent set up there with lights all around it. The sun was setting and the sight looked even more picturesque seen through rose-colored glasses.
There were rose and china bedecked tables around the perimeter of the dance floor. The dance floor was raised and a band pit was set at the side. Bill had arranged a jazz band for them, his friend played trumpet. After dinner they got up and took part in their first dance as a married couple.
Ron was so happy the whole night that he could barely keep a straight face when he made his speech. His speech was after Harry's, which was thoroughly embarrassing. "First I'd like to thank my family, they've molded me and pushed me to be the best that I can be. I'd also like to thank Hermione without which I could not be the best that I can be. I'd like to thank Harry, my best friend. You've always believed in me, no matter what I did you were always there. Even when I wanted to kill you for dating my baby sister, you didn't hate me. Thanks to all these people and countless others, my teachers included, I am the happiest man on the face of the world," Ron raised his glass to the teary-eyed crowd and sat down.
When it was time for cake Hermione went first. She had promised to not smear the cake on him if he didn't do it to her. She placed the tiny bite in his mouth without getting so much as a speck on his face. He picked up a tiny piece and made it look like he was gingerly putting it her mouth. Then at the last minute, he smeared it over her chin and cheeks. She made a squeal of surprise and grabbed a bigger piece and spread it over his nose. He handed her a napkin as a truce and they laughed.
Ron would look back on this day as one of the happiest in his life. Among those few days that he classified as perfect was the day his son, William Arthur was born; also the day his twin daughters, Dianna Lucille and Hannah Joy were brought into the world. The day his first grandchild was born as well as the days his other grandchildren were born. And finally, the day he and Hermione passed away together. They had spent the day at the beach and when they came home the fell asleep. When they woke up they were walking through the pearly gates of Heaven hand in hand. Their parents were beckoning them toward the Garden.
