Summary: It's the Big Day, her wedding to James Potter, and as Lily walks down the aisle she remembers little flashes of her life and the people in it.

Lily looked ahead and saw James' and hers friends from the Order of the Phoenix. She smiled warmly at each and every one of them, since it was them that were making sure that no interruptions were taken place during the wedding.
She saw Alastor Moody take a quick sip from his hip-flask secretly. She smiled knowing that Moody always had his hip-flask with him full of scotch.
She remembered her first encounter with heavy alcohol.
FLASHBACK
"WE WON! WE WON! WE WON!" chanted the Gryffindors as they made their way up to the awaiting party in the common room to celebrate Gryffindors win of the Quidditch cup.
"Can you believe it Dee!" said Lily excitedly to Dee as the crowd pushed them along.
"YES! You were excellent Lils, AND you didn't bite Potter's head off which is an improvement" complimented Dee smiling.
"He is the captain and I have to admit superb chaser and if I want to keep up my post as Keeper I have to play nice" admitted Lily.
Dee snorted and ducked her head as they entered the common room through the Portrait of the fat lady.
"DRINKS ALL ROUND TO 5th YEARS AND UP!" yelled Potter over the now cheering crowd.
Lily and Dee both grabbed a butter beer each and sat down on the couch, Dee listening to Lily's recounts of the previous Quidditch game against Slytherin.
When both girls had finished their butter-beers they went to join a game of drinking poker for a bit of fun.
An hour later the girls got up and stumbled over to the drinks table after losing every single game and as a result both had skulled many butter-beers.
Now, a butter-beer was a harmless drink when drunk in small quantities but when put to the extreme could make a person quite tipsy.
Dee grabbed another Butter-beer and skulled it and then was dragged off to the dance floor. Lily also grabbed another butter-beer and giggled in delight at her best-friends dirty-dancing with one of the Gryffindor beaters.
It wasn't soon after that Lily was also dragged onto the dance floor.
Many of the Gryffindors were cheering and hooting as the girls danced with their hands high in the air and their hips shaking to the beat of the music. They were the centre of attention at the party as they rubbed their backs up against each other and twisted on the dance floor. They were making quite a show until Dee stumbled and knocked Lily over.
James Potter and Sirius Black, who had been watching the two girls intently, saw this and rushed over to help the giggling girls up. James with Lily and Sirius with Dee.
They carried the girls over to a couch and set them down, kneeling in front of them. Dee let out one loud snort and then her head lolled and she was asleep, Lily heard this and started to giggle madly.
"Lily, how many drinks have you had?" asked James concernedly.
"Silly, Silly boy. How would I know?" slurred Lily shaking her finger at James.
"Li-" James started.
"You know, you're cute when your worried" giggled Lily. She brushed James fringe away from his eyes and stared deeply into them. "You have hazel eyes, with pretty gold flecks in them" she ranted.
James stared at Lily confused, she had finally lost it. She was saying he was cute and commenting on his eyes. Although, he wasn't complaining.
Lily leaned in closer to James and pressed her lips against his, running her hand through his hair.
James knew it was wrong and as much as he loved the way her sweet lips glided over his he pulled away.
"Lily your drunk. You wouldn't want to do this and regret it. I'll take you to the stairs and I'll trust you to walk up them" he said and lifted the petite redhead up and carried her to the girl's staircase.
"Goodnight Lily" he murmured as he placed her down and walked solemnly up the boy's staircase deep in thought.
END FLASHBACK
'That was my worst hangover' Lily thought as she realised how close to the altar she was getting. Her heart started to beat faster gazed up at her soon-to-be husband. His best friend and best man Sirius Black stood next to him smiling wildly at his long-time girlfriend Dee who was in front of Lily.
FLASHBACK
"I DID NOT JUST DO THAT!" screamed Dee as she stormed into the Girls Dormitory.
"Did not just do what?" inquired Lily coming out of the bathroom drying her hair with a white, fluffy towel.
"I did not just do that…I did not just do that…I did not just do that…I did-" chanted Dee pacing around the dorm her hands entangled in her hair.
"DEE! What happened? What did you not do?" asked Lily pulling Dee over to her bed and placing her down.
"I-I-I…I didn't do it" whispered Dee.
"Sandy tell me what you did" Lily said calmly.
"I-I-I kissed h-him" whispered Dee barely audible.
"Kissed who? Who did you kiss" Lily asked impatiently.
"B-B-Black" stuttered Dee
Lily dropped her towel in amazement and her jaw dropped. She got up off the bed and sat opposite Dee on Dee's bed.
"err…wow" she murmured.
"Yeah wow! What am I going to do? Oh no, now he's gonna think I like him!" she spoke her thoughts out loud.
"Do you?" asked Lily quietly.
"Lillian Evans! Don't be so absurd! It's Black…Black!" replied Dee.
"That's not a good reason to hate him Dee. So tell me the truth, do you like him?" Lily inquired.
"I-I-I don't know. I mean he's HOT and sexy and all, but he has crappy pick-up lines" she laughed. It was true Sirius did have crappy pick-up lines to seduce his women. God only knows why he's had so many girlfriends.
"Deeeeeeeeeee" whined Lily.
"Okay, okay. I may like him a bit but what do I do? I just kissed him and ran, what's he going to think of me?" Dee said frantically.
"Ahhhh, don't worry Sirius will get over it, he always does. Both him and Potter want to keep up their rep and won't let that keep 'em down. If he asks you out say yes, if he doesn't in two weeks then I'll see about how we can get you to let him know you're interested" Lily said knowingly.
"oooooh! Thanks lils!" giggled Dee as she wrapped her arms around Lily in a tight sisterly hug.
"It's okay, there's only one more thing I have to ask" smirked Lily.
"What? What is it?" asked Dee worriedly.
"Does Black live up to his reputation as a brilliant kisser?"
END FLASHBACK
Lily was right about Sirius asking Dee out, it happened the next day in front of everyone in the Great hall. Lily had to give it to Sirius; he was a very confident man…and still is.
She looked up at Sirius again and he grinned back.
Lily realised that there were only 4 more pews to go. She looked up at James and stared into his hazel, loving eyes in anxiety.
He stared back at her, looking a little nervous. (A/N: who wouldn't be when a crazy lunatic murderer is out to kill you?) Although very handsome in his tux, Lily had requested that everyone wore muggle clothes to the wedding as she didn't want to be married to a man that wore a dress. (my thoughts exactly)
Lily's pop let go of her arm and smiled warmly at her. She walked up the carpeted steps to the altar and stood next to James. He wrapped his arm into hers and grinned down lovingly at her.
Lily felt safe in James' arms and once again reminded herself that on that night she had made the right decision.
