Epilogue

------------

"Any regrets?"

"No, daddy," Hermione said calmly, "None at all."

"I guess it's time then..." She linked her arm in her father's as he led her out the door. All eyes were on them as he walked her down the aisle. Hermione was simply beaming. People sitting down stood up as they passed and smiled and sighed. She grinned as she approached her fiancé, Ronald Weasley, his best man, Harry Potter and her maid of honor, a very pregnant Ginny Potter. Hermione felt her father's grip loosen. She inhaled deeply and turned to face Ron.

"Dearly beloved," the priest began, "We are gathered here today to witness the bonding of these two in holy matrimony. If you have any reason why these two should not lawfully be wedded, declare it now or forever hold your peace."

Silence.

"Very well." Ron fidgeted. "Ronald, if you could repeat after me. I, Ronald Bilius Weasley..."

"I, Ronald Bilius Weasley."

"Do take Hermione Jane Granger to be my lawfully wedded wife."

"To have and to hold, from this day forward."

"For better, for worse."

"For richer, for poorer."

"In sickness and in health."

Ron grinned. "In sickness and in health."

"To love and to cherish 'till death do us part."

"And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness."

"Hermione, if you could repeat after me now...I, Hermione Jane Granger..."

"I, Hermione Jane Granger."

"Do take Ronald Bilius Weasley to be my lawfully wedded husband."

"To have and to hold, from this day forward."

"For better, for worse."

"For richer, for poorer."

"In sickness and in health."

"To love and to cherish 'till death do us part."

"And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness."

"The rings, please." Ron and Hermione couldn't stop themselves from grinning at each other. Ron took a ring and placed it delicately on her finger. Hermione did the same to him.

"It is my delight and honour to pronounce you husband...and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Ron smiled as he lifted her veil and kissed her on the lips. Everyone let out a sigh and clapped.

"Congratulations, mate," Harry said, clapping Ron on the back.

"Oh, Hermione! Congratulations," Ginny cried pulling her into an awkward hug, seeing as her protruding stomach prevented either of them from fully wrapping their arms around each other. Ron took Hermione by the hand.

"Shall we?" She nodded. They ran past everyone, out the chapel's front doors and onto the front lawn. People were now spilling out behind them including Ron's freckly redheaded family, Hermione's Muggle relatives and a very emotional Dr. Edwin. Hermione laughed, tossed her bouquet of flowers into the crowd and watched it land in Lydia's hands.

"Goodbye!" Hermione called.

"Have fun on your honeymoon!" Ginny shouted over everyone's voices.

Harry strode up to the newlyweds and whispered in Ron's ear, "Don't wear her out on the first night, mate." He flashed Hermione a quick wink and went to join Ginny.

"Oh, God." Ron shuddered.

"What?"

"I have no idea why I'm friends with him." Hermione giggled. They made their way down the sloping lawn to a limo that was awaiting them. "Now," Ron started, "Tell me again why we're taking this Muggle thingy."

"Earth to Ron. My whole family is Muggles! If we took off in some flying contraption...well, you can just imagine what that would be like."

"Ah." The chauffeur opened the back door for both of them to climb in. Ron put his arm around her as the door was slammed shut. She cuddled up against him, ruffling her perfectly ironed wedding dress.

"I love you so much," she sighed.

"I love you too," he whispered, kissing her cheek.

"So...what did Harry say to you?" Ron cringed.

"He said...don't wear her out on the first night." Hermione's mouth fell open and she slapped him playfully on the arm.

"That little bugger." Ron winked and smiled.

"Don't worry, I won't." Before she could answer he pressed his lips to hers. And they drove off, tin cans rattling noisily behind them, towards their very first night as a married couple.
