After many weeks of Lily's frantic planning, her and James's day was finally upon them. The couple had decided on a smaller wedding but still beautiful wedding. The guest list included family, friends from school and co-workers. As much as Lily didn't like her sister, she still invited her but she was only a guest, not in the wedding party. The wedding party includes Riley as Lily's maid of honor and Sirius as James's best man.
"Riley, I'm so excited I think I'm going to puke." Lily said while Riley fixed her veil. Lily's dress was a simple white satin spaghetti strap that puddles at her feet. Her veil sat at the crown of her head that went to mid-back with her auburn hair in elegant curls. The dress was simple but fit every one of Lily's curve and made her look gorgeous. The dress Lily picked for Riley was a champagne color in the same style as Lily's. The bouquets were made up of white and lavender roses.
"Lily, darling, are you ready?" Lily's dad asked from outside the oak door. Lily took a deep breath and Riley gave her a reassuring smile.
Riley walked down the aisle before Lily. Riley noticed that James was sweating bullets. The wedding march started and the chapel stood for Lily and her father. Riley watched as James's face turned from nervousness to a goofy smile. James stumbled through his vows and Lily tried hard not to laugh. James gently kissed her when the vows were said and the rings were on the fingers.
Riley and Sirius were standing off to the side of the reception watching James and Lily mingle. Riley took a sip of her champagne, "Did you tell him?"
"I couldn't, he was a wreck all week." Sirius looked over at Riley from the corner of his eye, "Did you wear it?"
"No, I didn't want to take away from them." The ringing of the class silenced the room.
"Lily has informed me that it is now the time for the Best Man speech." James announced, "So, Sirius get your butt up here before Lily rings your neck for making us behind schedule." The crowd laughed as Sirius made his way to James and Lily.
Sirius dramatically cleared his throat before he started, "I can honestly say that I have never loved anyone more then James. Sorry Riley." The crowd laughed, "He may not always come off as selfless but James is just that. He took me in when I wanted to give up, he risked his life for a close friend and he would give everything up for Lily; if anyone deserves to be this happy its James and Lily. He has loved Lily for eight years and she's loved him for about two." Their former classmates laughed, remembering James and Lily's past relationship, "I want to strive for the love they share. I wish you both the greatest luck." Sirius raised his glass and the crowd drank to Mr. and Mrs. Potter. After Sirius's speech James and Lily went to the dance floor and Sirius went back to Riley.
"That was sweet but you better have not meant you love him more then me." Sirius kissed her, "That's what I thought."
"Lets dance."
Sirius and Riley swayed to the music in each others arms
"Are you scared?" Riley asked in a hush whisper.
Sirius looked undecided, "I'm not sure. I was with James all this morning and he was a wreck. I can stand here and tell you I'm not but I don't know about later."
