Surprise Marriage

The two hours that followed professor McGonagall's announcement were hard on James and Lily. They were both asked to go and talk with professor Dumbledore so he could explain to them the circumstances of their parents' death.

Lily was waiting for James outside of professor Dumbledore's office. He he had been in there for 15 minutes already. She was torn – should she grieve on her parents or should she be a support for James, hold him when he cried.

James suddenly opened the door and strode out of there angrily. When he saw Lily his expression softened somewhat and he held his hand out so she could grab it.

Lily took his hand and he pulled her close. They both breathed shallowly and Lily had a hard time controlling her tears.

"Let's go the Room of Requirements, we can have more privacy there," he said gruffly.

They walked to the Room of Requirements hand in hand, Lily was pressed to James's side and there was a comfortable silence of grieving.

They reached the Room of Requirements and lay down on the comfortable sofa in front of the fire. James had his arm around Lily's waist and they were snuggling into each other, finding comfort and love in each other's embrace.

"I love you," Lily said softly, her eyes glittering with unshed tears.

"I love you too," said James and pressed her even closer, putting his chin on her head.

"I miss them so much," whispered Lily and a few tears rolled down her tears. "They were always supporting me, ever since I was a little girl and did accidental magic, they told me it was ok, and that I'm not a freak like my sister told me I was.

When I got my letter to Hogwarts-" Lily hiccupped "When I got my letter to Hogwarts my parents were so happy for me and said that this is the proof that I'm not a freak and that this is the explanation to all of the weird things that happened to me.

My mom was always so supportive in me; she gave me advice on boys…" Lily smiled warily "Told me that if I will give you a chance that I will see who you really are…" James squeezed Lily and wiped the tears off her cheeks.

"Tell me about your parents," Lily asked.

James took a deep breath and knew that Lily won't let him get away without an answer. "My parents and I- we had a good relationship before I went to Hogwarts. My mom was always home, cooking us meals and playing with us. But when we went to Hogwarts she returned to her old job – an Auror.

After that…we barely saw her. My dad wasn't home as it is but my sister and I were left with a nanny-"

"I didn't know you have a sister," said Lily, looking at James.

James's eyes blazed with pain "I had a sister. When I was 13 my father took her to work one day and there was an attack on the Auror headquarters. She….she was kidnapped and killed the same day."

"Oh James," breathed Lily and hugged him "I am so sorry."

James swallowed "It was a long time ago," he said, swallowing his tears.

"Anyway, my family wasn't the same after she died. My parents drowned themselves in work and fired the nanny."

James tightened his grip around Lily "I don't know what I'd do without Sirius, Peter and Remus. They were all I had after my sister died."

Lily stroked James's hair and James caught her palm and kissed it "You're my life," he whispered, looking down "I can't lose you too…"

"You will never lose me James, I love you," said Lily, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Marry me," James said suddenly and looked into Lily's shocked eyes "Marry me Lily."

"W-What? James, we are only seventeen!"

"I know, but Lily, please…I can't live my life without you and we are already of age, please Lily, think about it…it doesn't have to be now."

Lily sat there is silence, pondering. She saw in James's mind that he is very serious and that he needs her. She wanted it very much.

"I will marry you James," she said quietly and James smiled his first real smile for hours.

"I don't have a ring yet-" he started but Lily silenced him with a kiss.

"Let's talk about it after the funeral, please…" she said after they broke the kiss.

James's eyes dimmed a little and he nodded "Dumbledore gave us the entire week off right? We go to our houses?"

"Yes," said Lily, thinking about her room in Privet Drive.

James kissed her cheek "We better go and pack some bags," he said, with his lips on Lily's cheek. Lily smiled a little and turned her head so she was kissing her properly.

The marauders were a little surprised by James's reaction to his parents' death. He was a lot quieter than before, and that was understandable, but he didn't look especially sad or depressed.

Sirius, who was very fond of Mr and Mrs Potter, who had become somewhat like surrogate parents to him in the last couple of years, looked extremely sad and upset. Dumbledore didn't allow him to go to the funeral and he was livid about it.

Sirius looked up as the portrait hole opened and saw professor McGonagall.

"Where are Potter and Evans Mr Black?" she asked.

"Packing," said Sirius, staring at the fire.

"Tell them to go to professor Dumbledore's office when their finished, they can go home from there."

"Yes, Professor," said Sirius, still staring at the fames.

McGonagall shot him a pitying look and left the common room with a deep sigh.

Lily was the first to come down, her eyes were red-rimmed but she looked presentable and tidy. She was holding two big bags and came to sit next to Sirius.

"Is James down yet?" she asked him.

Sirius shook his head and Lily probed into his mind. Tears pooled her eyes at the sadness and the horrible aching in his heart. He wanted to be there.

Lily hugged the surprised Sirius and he hugged her with equal fierceness as a few tears left his eyes.

"They were like parents to me," he said "But Dumbledore won't let me go there."

"I am so sorry Sirius," Lily whispered and saw James coming down the stairs.

She broke the embrace and Sirius looked up to see James standing there. Without another word Sirius stood up and hugged James like a brother.

Lily saw that James was struggling to cry and lifted her bags. She couldn't be here anymore.

As James saw her getting up, he broke the embrace and picked his bags from the floor. "I'm sorry you can't be there mate," he said and smiled a weak smile.

"I'm sorry I can't be there for you," said Sirius gruffly.

"Coming, Lily?" James asked. Lily nodded and they went silently to Dumbledore's office.

"We should meet sometime during the week," James said, looking at Lily from the corner of his eye.

"I'll come to your parents' funeral and you'll come to mine right?" said Lily.

"Of course, but I'll come earlier, I don't have anything to do in that house, I'm alone," he said without a trace of sadness.

"Dumbledore won't let you," said Lily.

"We can't do it without Dumbledore knowing," James said and smiled a little "You forgot you are talking to a marauder."

Lily rolled her eyes "Well, what's your plan your highness?"

James grinned "Well, you'll Floo home first and I'll just remember the address and after I get to my parents' house, I'll Floo to your house."

"You do that," said Lily. She was secretly pleased that she wouldn't be alone with Petunia for the entire week.

"Sugar quill," said James. Lily was startled out of her thoughts by James's voice. They entered Dumbledore's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in," said Dumbledore's voice from the office. Lily and James entered the office and stood silently.

"You can go first Ms Evans," said Dumbledore and handed her a bad with Floo powder.

Lily took some powder into her hand and threw it into the fire. The fire immediately turned green and Lily stepped into her.

She looked into James's eyes and said clearly "Number 4, Privet Drive Surrey."

James watched her disappear before taking some powder and saying clearly "Potter Estate, Cheshire."

James landed on the floor and hastily got up. Looking around he saw that the house was clean, but horribly empty.

James heard a little 'pop' behind him and turned. He saw the family house-elf Dilly standing with a towel in her hands, her eyes looking red.

"Master James," she said weakly "You are home."

"Yes I am Dilly. Can you do me a favour?" he asked the elf.

"Of course Master James. What is it that you need of Dilly?" squeaked Dilly.

"I need you to clean the house in Godric's Hollow. I'll be moving there soon with my fiancée."

"Master James has a fiancée?" said Dilly and her face seemed to brighten.

"Yes, Dilly. And we will be moving there by the end of the year, maybe even earlier. So I need you to clean it and prepare it for us, all right?"

"Of course Master James. What about this house?"

James's face darkened "This is my parents' house. And since my parents are dead, I don't want to live here anymore. I'll be living in Godric's Hollow."

"Whatever Master James says," said Dilly and bowed.

"Can you move all my things there too? To the Master bedroom?"

"Yes, Master James."

"Ok, I'll be going now, ok Dilly?"

"Ok Master James," said Dilly and disappeared with a small 'pop'.

James sighed and looked around before tossing some Floo powder into the fire and yelling "Number 4, Privet Drive Surrey!"

James landed in the heap on the floor and heard Lily giggle.

"Gracious aren't you?" she said and helped him to his feet "What took you so long?"

"I was telling my house-elf to prepare the house in Godric's Hollow, so I can move there after school is finished."

"Umm…" said Lily "Would you like to meet my sister?"

James wrinkled his nose in distaste and Lily laughed, "I know what you mean. I wanted to rip her head off for what she did to Harry."

James didn't even think about it, but he would never tell Lily that.

"Lead the way."

"Petunia!" Lily called "Petunia, we've got a guest!"

"Coming!" James heard a distant yell.

Petunia walked down the stairs with a plastered smile. When she saw James, her fake smile slipped off her face and was replaced with a sneer.

"You are one of those freaks aren't you? What are you doing here?" she said rudely.

"Actually, he is here on my invitation. Petunia, I want to introduce you to my fiancé, James Potter."

Petunia's sneer faltered for a second but was immediately back "People like you are allowed to reproduce?"

Lily turned beet red, but not because she was angry. She really didn't want to think about reproducing.

"That's not very nice of you," said James coolly. "We are just like everyone else, we are just magical."

Petunia flinched as if beaten "Don't mention that freakiness in here again do you hear me?" she hissed, looking around, as if afraid that someone may hear him.

"Forget about it James," said Lily and took James's arm "We're going to my room."

Petunia didn't answer and James was dragged into Lily's room. His first thought when he entered the room was: 'this is Lily'.

The room was a perfect reflection of Lily's personality. Her walls were painted in soft yellow colour and her furniture was all made of wood. A long mirror was on the wall between her bed and her closet and on the nightstand there was a picture of Lily with whom James assumed were her parents.

Lily entered the room and sat on the bed. She took the photo off the nightstand just as James sat next to her on her bed.

"My parents," she said softly, stroking their faces "It was taken a year ago in Christmas."

After a few seconds of silence James noticed that Lily's shoulders are shaking.

"Lily-" he said and turned her to him. Her head was bent and tears ran down her cheeks. James pulled her on his lap and Lily put her head on his chest as she sobbed. She clutched the picture close to her heart.

"They won't see us getting married," she sobbed, "I don't want to do it without them."

"Lily, they will always be with you," said James softly, stroking her head.

"That's so cliché James," muttered Lily, but a small grin graced her face. James kissed Lily's cheek.

"Don't you have things to organise to the funeral?" he asked softly in her ear.

Lily shook her head sadly "Petunia had it all organised already. She doesn't want me to interfere with the funeral; she thinks it's my entire fault that they died."

"That's not true!" yelped James with a shocked expression.

"She's right you know, if wasn't a witch, the Death Eaters wouldn't have killed them."

"Lily, if it wasn't for you, I would be a very lonely womanizer right now," said James in order to make her feel a little better. Lily giggled.

"If it wasn't for me, you would still be an arrogant, egoistical prat," she said in affection and patted his cheek.

"I'm wounded," said James and grabbed his chest "Me? Arrogant? What gave you that idea? I am just a talented, smart, good looking guy."

Lily laughed, "You are my talented, smart, good looking guy."

"Indeed," mumbled James inches from her lips.

"Break it off, freaks," said Petunia's sharp tones from the door.

Lily sighed and turned to look at her older sister "What do you want?"

"Go and make some dinner, I am not your slave," Petunia snapped.

Lily sighed again and got up, followed by James, who immediately grabbed her hand. James glared at Petunia as they got out and Petunia huffed angrily before retiring to her room.

"What do you want to eat?" Lily asked James as they entered the kitchen.

"I don't know, whatever you want will be good," said James and sat on one of the chairs, watching her as she took out a pan and eggs.

"So…why does Petunia treat you like that?" he asked, trying to sound nonchalant.

"It's like that ever since I got my Hogwarts letter. We were best friends before, but after I got the letter she kind of locked herself in her room for about 8 hours and after that she treated me like trash."

"It's not fair," said James.

"I know it isn't," sighed Lily "But what can I do? She's jealous and now that my parents are…are dead-" Lily swallowed "-she's going to hate me even more. And I bet that's why she treated Harry like that."

"Well, she's got to be stupid if she lets such a thing like jealousy tear you two apart," James said as Lily put the omelettes on the table and turned to cut some tomatoes.

"She is stupid; she is engaged to a man who makes drills," snorted Lily.

"What's drills?" asked James in interest.

"It's a muggle device which makes holes in the wall," Lily explained shortly.

"And he makes that?" asked James in wonder, obviously confused why would someone want to make drills all of his life.

"Yep," said Lily as she took a bite from her omelette "You'll probably see him here a lot."

"Can't wait," said James dryly.

When Lily woke up the next morning, it took her a few of minutes to remember why is she sleeping on the bed in her house and why someone was sleeping next to her.

She turned over quietly, hoping not to wake James. James was frowning in his sleep and his hands tightened around Lily.

"Mom," he breathed out silently. Lily's eyes prickled; he was dreaming about his parents. She, herself, dreamt about her parents tonight. They told her how much they loved her and she sobbed in her mother's arms until she woke up.

Lily took her finger and ran it over James's forehead, so his frown would disappear. She managed it – James's frown disappeared, but James woke up.

When he saw her James immediately smiled and leaned for a kiss "I can get used getting up like that," he said, throwing his arm around her.

Lily smiled "You should get used to it, I'm your fiancée."

James's smile grew "Indeed you are," he growled and pulled her for another kiss.

A throat clearing broke their heated kiss and Lily looked at Petunia, who was standing in the door with an expression of sheer disgust on her face.

"Make breakfast and make sure it's enough for Vernon and I too," she said and walked out of the door.

Lily sighed deeply and closed her eyes. James kissed her mouth quickly "Let's go make breakfast," he whispered in her ear.

Lily grabbed his hair gently and pulled him to her so his head was lying on her bosom. James took a deep breath and sent a desperate message to Lily through his head.

Lily grinned mischievously and waited until she felt something hit her stomach softly. She pushed James over and stood up, hearing James groan.

"Better go and make breakfast!" she said and watched as James tried to look normal.

"Yes, you do that…I'll go home and will be back in about half hour ok? I need to take a shower and I don't have any cloths here."

"Cold shower James?" said Lily innocently before shutting the door after her.

James swore, "Minx."

The Evans's funeral took place in an old church near Lily's house. Lily looked better than she had for the last couple of days, because of James's support and care. But she was still crying when they lowered her parents into the ground.

Petunia gave a speech, but Lily wasn't ready or willing to make one. James held her while people talked about her parents. She cried quite a bit and when people came and shook her hand, telling her how wonderful her parents had been, Lily had to use every ounce of self-control she still had, so she would not burst out crying.

"Do you want to get out of here for a while?" James asked Lily, who looked exhausted.

"Yes, please," Lily said weakly.

"Where do you think you're going?" snapped Petunia's voice from behind her.

Lily looked exhausted "I'm going to rest for a bit, Petunia" said Lily.

"No you are not! You are the reason they're dead! If it weren't for your freakiness they would still be alive! You were always the most insufferable child; I cannot begin to understand why mom and dad didn't send you to an orphanage, you would be better there, away from us with your unnatural freakiness, so at least stay here, you insufferable freak!"

Lily burst out crying at the middle of Petunia's speech; the weight of the last couple of days came crushing down at her all at once. She just noticed James was holding his wand when everything turned black.

The feel of something wet on her forehead woke Lily up. Slowly, she opened her eyes to the concerned gaze of James.

"What happened?" she asked weakly, pressing her hand to her head, which was throbbing painfully.

"You passed out," said James and put the wet towel aside.

Lily noticed she was lying on an unfamiliar bed, in a warm surrounding that she didn't know. "Where are we?" she whispered.

"In my house at Godric's Hollow," said James with a slight smile. He sat on the bed and turned his body so he was looking at her.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

"I have a horrible headache. How did we get here?" she asked.

"After you passed out I packed your stuff and flooed here. It's your house too now, Petunia-"James said in distaste "Ordered me to take you out of the house and never come back again. I'm sorry Lily."

"That's ok James," said Lily, tears prickling behind her eyes.

"It's not ok, Lily. She is a horrible person with horrible opinions and you have nothing to be ashamed of. This is not your fault. This is Voldemort's fault!"

Tears were pouring out of Lily's eyes by now "Thank you," she said simply, wiping her tears.

A couple of minutes passed in silence and suddenly Lily looked up with a determined glint in her eyes "Let's elope."

James, who was drinking a cup of water, sprayed the water all over the floor. "W-What?" he spluttered.

"Let's elope, James. We are already engaged and I don't want to wait any longer."

"But Lily- didn't you say that you want to wait?" spluttered James.

"I don't want to wait anymore James. I want to elope now."

James looked at her with surprise etched on his face. When he saw she was serious he sighed, shook his head and nodded. "Ok."

Lily smiled happily and kissed him deeply. "Let's elope today," she landed another bomb.

James's eyes widened "But Lily…"

"Today James," she said, her eyes glittering.

James sighed again, still shocked and stood up. "Let me go arrange it," he sighed and kissed her forehead.

As he walked out of the room he let his confusion show on his face. What made her change her opinion so quickly? And why today?

"Dilly?" he called. A second later Dilly appeared with a small 'pop'.

"Yes Master James?" squeaked Dilly.

"I need you to find me a place in United States where Lily and I could get married today," said James and after a little thought "And a nearby place for a honeymoon."

"Today Master James?" Dilly's eyes widened.

"Yes Dilly, can you?" asked James.

"Dilly will try Master," Dilly bowed and disappeared.

James sighed and rubbed his eyes. He didn't attend his parents' funeral yesterday. Lily was more important and even though his parents meant a lot to him, Lily was his future, and he could always visit his parents' grave.

James went to the kitchen and started to make pancakes. He couldn't believe he was going to get married today to Lily. He was by all means ready. But he was afraid that Lily would regret it later. They didn't have an engagement period where Lily could show off a ring to her friends.

A ring.

"Crap," muttered James and rubbed his eyes.

"Lily!" he called "Breakfast!"

"Coming!" he heard Lily yell and smiled. He could get used to that.

Minutes later Lily came downstairs and smiled as she smelled the food.

"Smells good," she said and took a seat.

James handed her the plate and put his on the table. "We should go out today," he said with a mouthful of pancakes.

"What for?" she asked, cutting her pancake into squares.

"We need to buy rings," he said, chewing with his mouth open.

"James close your mouth when you eat," but then she beamed "You're the best!"

James smiled sheepishly and took a gulp of his pumpkin juice. "Just taking care of things."

When they both finished their breakfast, James took Lily to a tour in the neighbourhood. She discovered that a few minutes from the house there was a small river, covered with plants all around it. Lily was absolutely smitten with the place.

After the tour around the place, James took Lily to Cheshire and they walked and shopped around the wizarding village for five hours before they found a jewellery shop.

'Madam July' Jewellery Shop was the most prestigious jewellery shop in Cheshire and because it was located outside of the wizarding village, even muggles came there to shop for jewellery.

A little bell rang when James opened the door and Lily's eyes widened in shock when she saw the thousands of glittering diamonds all around her.

"Pretty neat isn't it?" asked James with a small laugh as he saw Lily's reaction.

"Hello dears, need some help?"

James and Lily turned to see a plump middle-aged woman with reddish hair with several grey stripes. She looked very nice and warm.

"Yes please, we are searching for a wedding band for both of us," said Lily, still in awe of the shop.

The woman's eyebrows raised a little and then she smiled. "No problem at all. Any stone in particular?"

"Onyx please," said James quickly. At Lily's questioning gaze he explained: "It's the formal Potter stone. We've used this stone for generations."

Lily murmured in understanding and looked at the options with a slightly open mouth. She really didn't think James could afford any of these rings.

"James-" started Lily "Are you sure we have enough money for any of these?" she whispered.

James smiled "Of course we do. The Potter family is one of the oldest; we have enough money to buy hundreds of those."

Lily had a hard time believing it. "I promise Lily, choose whatever you want."

"Are you sure?" Lily asked hesitatingly. James kissed her in response.

After almost two hours of looking at rings, Lily cut the choice to two beautiful rings: One was gold, with a rectangular black onyx, set between two smaller stripes of diamonds. The second one was gold, rope-style band with twirls holding a black onyx heart in the centre.

Lily asked for James's opinion but he refused to interfere and wanted Lily to choose whatever she wanted the most. He already chose his ring, a simple, broad golden band.

"I think that we'll take this one," she pointed on the first ring and heard both the woman and James sigh with relief.

"Finally," he muttered.

"Do you want any inscription on the ring?" she asked.

"Yes please," said James and passed her a small note. The woman smiled and looked around before taking out her wand and tapping the ring twice.

Both James and Lily gasped, "You're a witch?" Lily asked. The witch just smiled and handed James the ring.

James let Lily look at the ring again when they walked home "All my love, James" Lily said as she looked at the inscription. She smiled happily before kissing him. "I love you," she said.

"I love you too," James said and took the ring.

"Hey!" said Lily.

"Wait till the wedding dear," he teased her. Lily's lips twitched before she laughed. They both entered the house and immediately heard a noise.

"Master James!"

James and Lily turned to see Dilly standing on the stairs. "Hello Dilly. May I introduce you to my fiancée, Lily Evans."

"Dilly is very glad to see Master James's fiancée. She is just as pretty as he always said," said Dilly with a bow.

Lily blushed, "Thank you, Dilly."

"Master James, Dilly found the perfect place for your wedding," said Dilly. "Do you want me to take you there?"

James smiled "Thank you Dilly, but we need to pack some bags first."

Dilly shook her head "Dilly already did that Master James."

"Thank you Dilly," said Lily softly.

"Dilly is only doing her job Miss Lily," squeaked Dilly with another bow.

Dilly took James and Lily's hands in hers and apparated them to a large hotel. Unprepared for the sudden change of location, both James and Lily fell on the floor.

"Where are we?" asked Lily, looking around as she got up.

"Hawaii, Miss Lily," squeaked Dilly and turned to James "The receptionist will tell you all the details you need," she said and apparated out with a small 'pop'.

Lily and James both took their surroundings in awe. "It's so beautiful here," breathed Lily.

James couldn't answer as he just located the receptionist and was walking towards her. "Hi, my name is James Potter-" James started.

The receptionist didn't wait for him to continue the sentence. She took out a piece of parchment and gave it to James, with a small key.

"Room 160, your stuff is already there," she drawled in a heavy American accent.

"Right, thanks," said James and took the key.

James and Lily opened the door to their room and Lily didn't wait one more second before going to the shower.

James opened the note as soon as she was out of sight.

Mr James Potter,

Your house-elf and I reached to an agreement that you will marry today, January 2nd at Wailua Falls, Hawaii in 8pm. A priest will be waiting for you and your chosen one and a witness on top of the falls.

Your honeymoon period will start as soon as you get to the hotel and end at January 7th at 3pm.

Enjoy your stay,

Paradise Hotel manager,

Gabriel Haili

James drew a ragged breath. They are really going to do this. He was going to marry Lily Evans in- (he looked at his watch) - 3 hours.

But then James noticed that he forgot something – a witness.

"Crap," he muttered. When you eloped, no one was supposed to witness the marriage. That was the idea behind eloping. Now what where they going to do?

"Lily, are you done yet?" he called.

"Yes, I'll be right out!" said Lily. Her eyes widened when she realised she forgot her cloth.

"Er…James…" she said weakly.

"Yeah?"

"I forgot my clothes…" she said meekly.

There was silence in the other side of the door and Lily blushed hard when she realised she will have to come out with towel only in order to take her cloths.

"I'll…I'll just go out for a while…" said James and he sounded a bit chocked.

"Ok…" said Lily in embarrassment.

Only when she heard the door close, she allowed herself to breath. "Oh, thank God…" she muttered and opened the door.

She dressed quickly and went to pick up the note James left on the bed. Her breath hitched when she got to the word 'honeymoon' and just like James, she suddenly realised they didn't have a witness.

"Lily?" she heard James outside of the door "Are you decent?"

"Yes," said Lily and James entered the room.

"I found us a witness," he said as he lied on the bed, next to her. "The receptionist was more than happy to help us…" he muttered.

Lily started laughing and James soon joined her. Having the receptionist as a witness was so ridiculous they just couldn't resist.

When they finally stopped laughing there was a comfortable silence in the room.

"I love you," said James suddenly and Lily looked at him with a smile.

"You should, you are going to see me everyday now, for the rest of your life."

And as if suddenly realising it herself Lily let herself relax on the bed. She refused to get cold feet now. She would marry James in a couple of hours and one day…one day they'll have their own little Harry.

Lily allowed herself to smile on the thought and ran her hands through James's hair. "I should get ready," she said.

"Go ahead, then," said James.

Lily smiled and got up. She was doing the right thing.

James Harold, will you take Lily Rose to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honour her, and keep her in sickness and in health until death do you part?"

"I do," said James, smiling at Lily.

They were standing on top of the falls. Lily was wearing a white dress and was smiling happily as Lily slid the ring through his finger.

"And do you, Lily Rose, take James Harold to be your husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honour him, and keep him in sickness and in health until death do you part?"

"I do," said Lily and slid the ring on James's finger.

"You may kiss the bride," said the priest with a smile.

James leaned forward and kissed Lily happily. "I love you," she whispered as they broke the kiss.

"May I go now?" said the receptionist, who looked quite bored.

"You may," said James and turned to Lily again "I love you too."

Hours later, when Lily lay naked in bed with James sleeping peacefully next to her, Lily smiled. "I know you were with me today, mom…thank you…I love you…" she whispered into the silent night.
