A.N. This is the LAST chapter (I've actually finished something! Phwee!). I hope you enjoyed it.
The Ceremony
As Lily's parents were Muggles and James parents were a witch and a wizard, the wedding was a mixture of both traditional cultures. At Mrs. Evan's request, Lily and the rest of the wedding party wore Muggle formal clothes. The wedding was held in a church, also at Mrs. Evan's request.
Lily and James were walked to the alter by each other's best friends (Gen walked with James and Sirius walked with Lily) as was wizarding tradition. The ceremony itself was a mixture as well.
At the alter stood Remus. A mutual friend was supposed to perform the ceremony and Remus had gladly volunteered. He was dressed up in a tuxedo and his shoulder length chestnut brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail.
The music ended. Remus adjusted his reading glasses and cleared his throat.
"Dearly beloved, family and friends, we are gathered here today to witness the joining of this couple in holy matrimony." He stepped down from the podium so that he was directly in front of Lily and James.
"Do you, Lily Evans, take this wizard to be be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold in sickness and health, for richer and poorer, forsaking all others so long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Lily answered.
"And do you, James Potter, take this lovely witch to be be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold in sickness and health, for richer and poorer, forsaking all others so long as you both shall live?"
"I do," James said.
Remus nodded and Marci stepped forward with an oak box in her hands. Celeste opened it and handed Remus the gold ceremonial dagger.
"James," Remus said. James held out his hands compliantly. Remus carefully sliced each of James's hands horizontally across the palm.
"I love you Lily," James whispered to his beloved as his blood flowed from the cuts.
"I love you too," Lily whispered back as Remus cut her palms as well.
The two of them looked to Remus, who nodded. Slowly they brought their hands together out in front of them and intertwined fingers.
"By the power vested in me," Remus said, "I proclaim you husband and wife."
There was a flash of blinding white light as he said this, Moments later the newly wed couple let go of each others hand and inspected them. There were no cuts, no scars, no marks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, witches and wizards," said Remus, "I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Potter!"
Lily and James turned to face the crowd, their faces glowing with pure love and happiness.
"James," Lily whispered as the audience clapped and cheered. "I'm pregnant."
"Lily?" James asked.
"Yes?"
"I love you!" he exclaimed and threw his arms around her as he kissed her.
