A/n: Hey! Another chapter. Hope you enjoy. I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
Thlayli the Lobster: Thank you. I don't really like guys that are all girly-like, so I don't make my characters like that. I'm glad that you like the way I portray Remus.
George: Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
Chapter 2At dinner, everyone was yelling, "Speech! Speech!" waiting for the traditional Best Man & Maid of Honor speeches.
Sirius sighed as he stood up. "Well, I don't really want to do this, but it's tradition, so I really don't have a choice. If it wasn't tradition I wouldn't do it." Some of the guests laughed. He sighed again. "James and Lily are one of the happiest couples I've ever seen. I know they'll be together 'till the end of their days." He shrugged and smiled as he failed to think of anything else to say. They laughed. Sirius raised his glass, "To Lily and James!"
"Lily and James!" coursed the guests.
Sirius sat down, smiling.
"Wonderful." Remus said, sarcastically. (He was sitting next to him, of course.)
"Shut up." Sirius said. "I couldn't think of anything to say without mentioning you and me, and I'm sure that wouldn't go over well."
Remus nodded. "You're right."
Sirius stared at Stacey. "If I have to make a speech, you do, too."
"Fine." She stood up. She made a speech along the same lines of Sirius's, did a toast, and sat down. "There." She said to Sirius. "Happy?"
"Very." He smiled.
Dinner was wonderful. After they saw everyone was done, James and Lily stood up. "Time for the traditional throwing of the bouquet!"
"And the garter!" Lily added.
"And the garter!" James agreed.
"There's a balcony over there, James!" Sirius yelled.
James and Lily ran up the stairs to the balcony, and James yelled, "All un-married women toward the balcony, please!" as Lily turned around.
"Go." Sirius said to Stacey.
"I don't want to." She whined. "I'm never going to get married, anyway."
"Go!" Sirius and Remus said as they pushed her toward the rest of the women.
Lily threw the bouquet and it flew right into Stacey's outstretched hands.
Then James yelled, "All un-married men toward the balcony!" as Lily leaned back against the railing and lifted up her leg.
"No." said Sirius and Remus said.
"Go!" Stacey said. "If I had to do it, you do, too." She pushed them into the crowd.
James grabbed Lily leg, took off her shoe, lifted up her dress, slid the garter off and threw it into the crowd. It fell right into Remus's hands.
They walked to Stacey who was still holding the bouquet. "How ironic, eh?" She said. "The 2 people who caught the bouquet and the garter are never going to get married."
"What do you mean?" Remus asked.
"Well, you know I'm in love, but the 2 of us will never get married, so…"
"Yeah." Remus agreed.
"And you're gay, so…"
They laughed in agreement.
"You're right." Remus agreed.
Then James and Lily walked over. "Ironic, eh?" said James, obviously referring to the throwing of the bouquet and the garter. "The two people who caught them are never getting married."
They nodded. "Yes. Very ironic."
Mr. and Mrs. Evans walked over to them. "Oh, Lily." Mrs. Evans said, hugging her daughter. "I'm so happy for you." Tears were in her eyes.
"Oh, mum." Lily, tears forming in her eyes as well.
"My little girl," her father said, "all grown up."
Lily and her father hugged as well. "Oh, dad."
Mr. Evans looked over to James and shook his hand. "You take good care of my little girl, you hear?"
"Yes, sir." said James. "I will, I promise."
Mrs. Evans hugged her son-in-law and said, "Welcome to the family, James."
James smiled, tears starting to form in his eyes as well by now. "Thank you." He said.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Looked at Stacey and Remus who had caught the bouquet and the garter and Mrs. Evans said, "So you two caught the bouquet and the garter?"
"Yes." They said. "We did."
"You two would make the cutest couple."
Looks of disgust appeared on Remus and Stacey's faces. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." and Remus said, "That's them." He said, stepping back and pointing at Sirius and Stacey, a smile on his face.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." They said, looks of disgust on their faces.
"There's nothing between us, I promise." Sirius said.
"There's nothing between us and there never will be." Stacey agreed as Sirius nodded in agreement.
Mr. and Mrs. Evans nodded, agreeing with them, as they didn't know them, smiled and then walked away.
As they walked away, Sirius looked at Remus in wonder.
Then they heard music starting and turned around to find band that they had hired starting to play. "Let's go!" James yelled.
"Let's have some fun!" Sirius cried happily.
James held out his hand for Lily. "Let's dance."
"You actually want to dance?" Lily said, surprised.
"Yes, well, it is our wedding reception."
Lily smiled and gave James her hand. "Let's go." And with that they ran out onto the dance floor.
Sirius held out his hand for Stacey. "Might as well get the traditional Maid of Honor/Best Man dance over with." He did a mock bow. "Would you care to dance, my lady?" He said.
Stacey looked at him and shook her head at him, gave him her hand, pulled him up, and said "Alright, fine. Let's go."
Sirius let go over her hand and looked over to Remus who had already sat down in a chair at the table they were standing near. Sirius walked up behind up him and said, "Now, you don't have too much fun."
Remus looked with a bemused expression. "What?"
Sirius put his arms around his neck and in his ear whispered, "We're going to have our own party tonight."
Remus gasped and Sirius chuckled, then kissed him on the cheek.
"Sirius!" Remus cried. "We're in a public place!"
"Who cares!" Sirius said, loosening up his arms. "It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. You love me, don't you?"
"Well… of course." Remus replied.
"And I love you. So what's the problem?"
Remus searched for words to explain.
"And don't use 'We're both men' as an excuse." Sirius added.
"But Sirius… that is the problem."
Sirius groaned.
"Look, Sirius." Remus said. "You know I love you, it's just that… just that… that… oh, never mind. Forget it."
Sirius smiled, knowing he had won. He squeezed Remus's shoulders before walking out onto the dance floor with Stacey as another song started.
When the reception was ending, James told Sirius that he would write him when he and Lily at the sight of the honeymoon. He said it would take them all night. They felt unsafe apparating there since it was such a long way, so Lily insisted they drive. Sirius said ok and told him that he couldn't wait to hear what happened during their honeymoon, and then he winked.
He and Remus watched James and Lily leave and then they took each other's hands and walked toward their car.
A/n: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I did have fun writing it. I will try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible. It will be very intense, if you know what I mean. I will put a warning on the next to warn anyone who might not want to read stuff like that. (It will be nothing more than rated R, I promise. I don't write anything more than that.) Hope you enjoyed this chapter! R/R!
