Author's Note : Super, special thanks to Thalia, without whom, this entire work would not be possible. I owe her a lot, and I just want to make it known that though the pairing mentioned in this story might still have existed, it would be nothing interesting without her. All thanks go to her, and a special nod should be given to her characterizations of Cassius Warrington and Kirsten Bundy as well as her help and input in using the character of Seamus Finnigan.

It's my wedding day; I can't even begin to comprehend or understand it. I am no longer Emmaline Laurel Dobbs.

I am Emmaline Laurel Finnigan, and I've never been happier in all of my life.

It's... I remember laughing at Vera and Cecilia and them when they'd have a crush on some cute bloke or another, and jeering at Pinkie (fine, LAVENDER) when she had that silly infatuation with Professor Warrington, but... but this is IT.

Love, and it's... it's more wonderful than words can say. And it's going to be forever. We're really, truly TOGETHER now.

There is absolutely NOTHING that can separate us. I know that Seamus knows this, by the way he's smiling down at me. He squeezes my hand to let me know I've done a brilliant job.

I've been nervous about today since we sat the date after my graduation...and it's finally happened.

I'm finally his wife.

I was so nervous. We didn't want a huge wedding... but there was still a lot of planning, and I was afraid (still am, to a degree) that something would go wrong and things would go up in flames and Kirsten would end up concussing Ron AND Britney AND Chri--RAVENNA... but you know what?

When I'm feeling like this, I know that nothing can go wrong.

There are so many people here, and all of them are happy to see us together! Three years ago, I thought the world was against us. But now, now I feel as though I'm walking on air.

And plushie!Emma just bit Weasley again. Life is good.

Okay. I can take enjoyment in it biting Weasley, can't I?

Of course I can. I just got married. I'm a bride. I can do whatever I want!

Oh, and our kids are going to be gorgeous when we have them. And all their lives, they will be as happy as I am now. I'll make sure of it.
