Pretend that Ginny went shopping for everything, that she came home from the hospital, and that the months of being engaged were lovely! And that they were having the time of their life, being all lovey dovey and goshy!lol
Chapter Twelve: The Wedding
"So? Are you ready for your big day tomorrow?" Hermione asked in a teasing voice as she, Ginny, and Fleur sat around the kitchen table, painting their nails.
Ginny took in a sharp breath of excited air. "Yeah. Ready as I'll ever be. I can't wait." Ginny said in a dreamy voice.
"So? What do you guys have planned for your wedding night?" Fleur asked teasingly.
Ginny's cheeks went pink. "Well, I can't really say too much. I mean we did have three kids. No matter what the out come was…" Ginny said, looking depressed.
Every now and then she'd get depressed about her son, and she'd feel the need to be alone and cry, or go and spend time with the other kids. But tonight she couldn't cry…she was too excited…she was getting married in the morning! And she could go hug Charlie or Sophia-who were now four years old-because they were over at grandma and grandpa's house tonight.
"Come on Gin, don't get depressed right now. You're getting married in almost 13 hours!" Hermione said happily. And that made Ginny smile.
It was amazing. Tonight was the last night she'd have to spend in an empty bed. By tomorrow night she'd be held tightly in Harry's arms.
Later that night, she said good-bye to the girls and went off to bed.
Ginny hadn't fallen straight to sleep like she had hoped. But instead, she lay in bed with worries of what tomorrow may bring, and the joy it also promised…
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Hermione said, jumping up and down on Ginny's bed.
Ginny slowly opened her eyes. "Nice of you to wake me!" she joked.
"Come on. Fleur and I did all the work. We took the liberty of taking everything you'll be wearing and things that you'll need and we took them to the church. So now all you need to do is get your lazy arse out of bed!" Hermione laughed.
Ginny threw a soft pillow at Hermione and laughed. "I'm coming!"
She may not have sounded it so early in the morning, but inside she was about to erupt with excitement. Ginny ran downstairs to find he mom, dad, Fleur, a six year old Emma, and her five year old children…Sophie and Charlie.
"Hey babies. Did you miss mummy?" Ginny asked, bending down, and opening her arms wide for a big huge hug as they came running towards them.
"Mummy! Mummy!" they chanted.
"So? You ready for your big day?" Molly asked her daughter.
"Yup. But I better get ready. What time is it?" Ginny asked looking over at Fleur.
"It's fifteen till eight." She answered as she let Emma run over to her aunt.
"Gin! Auntie Gin! Look, I get to wear a pretty dress mummy told me." Emma said.
"Yeah, we're gonna get dressed in a minute. Let me just say bye to your grampa." Ginny said and she turned to her father.
"My little girl's growing up." He said.
"Oh dad." Ginny said, half laughing. "Now why didn't you say that when I told you I was having triplets?"
"Because you were still my little girl. But today I'll be giving you away to Harry.' Arthur laughed, wrapping his daughter into a huge hug. "Listen I love you and I'll see you later. But I bet Harry and Ron are gonna be needing my help with getting ready. So I gotta go." He kissed his daughter, said good-bye to everyone else, and then apparated away.
"So? We leaving?" Molly asked.
"Just as Gin gets ready to leave." Fleur smiled.
"You ready to get dressed?" Hermione asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be." And with one last smile she headed upstairs to get dressed. Once she had some close on they got in Hermione's car and drove down to the church so that they can all get dressed.
There was a big room at the end of the hall that they had rented for today. Inside were one big room full of mirrors at one end, two bathrooms, and another small room towards the back.
"Okay, well, let us get dressed first sweetie, then we'll help you into your dress." Molly said.
"That's fine. Gives me time to help the kids into their outfits." Ginny said, and they all started to get ready.
Sophia and Emma were to be the flower girls so they got to were cute little dresses, that Emma loved, but Sophie hated.
"I don't like the dress mummy." Sophie complained. "It makes me itchy!"
"I like it." Emma said.
"Do I have to wear a tie?" Charlie asked.
"Come on kids. I'm getting married. And I'm sure you don't know what that means but it's very special, and we have to look nice." Ginny said as she finished getting the kids dressed.
"So? How do I look?" Hermione asked coming out of her dressing room. Hermione was dressed in a little sky blue silky dress that showed off all her curves, without the fancy gloves, but her hair was done up in a bun, a small pearl necklace and bracelet, and she wore matching blue heels.
"Oh my god, you look beautiful!" Ginny shouted.
"But you'll look even better." Hermione said. "The kids are so cute." She added as they played in their outfits, chasing each other around the big room.
"Of course I'll look better..I am the bride!" Ginny laughed.
"What about us?" Fleur and Molly asked.
They were both wearing the same blue dress that Hermione wore, but Fleur looked gorgeous. But that was because she was also half veila. But her long blonde hair was half up in a bun, and her pale looking skin shown bright against her dress.
And Molly didn't look as skinny and slender as Fleur or Hermione did, but looking rather nice.
"Time for the bride." They said with a smile and they helped Ginny into her dress. It was an all white off the shoulder gown. It curved in at the waist, coming out a little puffy, and had brilliant lace flowing down the front, and they back that hung behind her about two feet. They curled her red hair a little putting it back in a bun, but leaving a few strands down. She wore a small silver necklace that Harry had bought her, small white heels, diamond earrings, and last they placed the veil on her head. As she moved the silky dress seemed to dance with her, move the way she did.
A tear of joy ran down each of their faces.
"You have something new…" Molly said fixing the front of Ginny's dress.
"Something old…" Hermione said putting on a small beaded bracelet that she had bought one day down in Hogesmead.
"Something borrowed…" Fleur said slipping one of her rings onto Ginny's pinkie finger.
"And something blue…" they said together as Hermione place a small blue flower in Ginny's hair.
And then Arthur walked in. "We're ready to start." But stopped as he starred at his daughter all dressed up.
"C'mon kids," Fleur and Hermione said gathering the kids. And Ron walked in after everyone else had left.
"Hey sis' can I talk to you?" Ron asked.
"Sure. But no need to worry, I'm an adult and I'm marrying your best bud. Nothin' is gonna happen." Ginny told him.
"I know. But you'll always be my little sister. And I just want to let you know how much I love you." Ron said hugging Ginny.
"I love you, too, Ron." Ginny said with a smile.
Seconds later they were standing behind the huge wooden doors, waiting for the piano to start playing. As they waited Ginny could hear the people on the other side of the door. People like Luna and Neville would be there. Cho Chang, Lavender, Parivati, Dean, Seamus, Lupin with Tonks-they had gotten married only a year or two ago- Moody, lots of old friends and people from the Order old be there. Along with family. And there would be another surprise awaiting Ginny…but it was from Lupin and Tonks…
"You ready?" Arthur asked?
Ginny turned and looked behind her. There was Fleur with Bill at her side, Hermione and Ron-Hermione would be her maid of honor and Ron was Harry's best man-, and she looked in front of her. And she saw her two kids standing next to Emma. And that's when it hit her. She was getting married! She had given birth to three wonderful children and through all she had been through she was getting married to the one man that always made her feel like she was the only woman in the world…Harry…Harry Potter.
She would be Mrs. Potter…
"I'm ready." She said…and they music began, and her father pulled the veil over her face.
As she walked down that aisle she say Harry standing at the altar and a tear ran down her face. The people around her stood up, people that she had once been in school with…people that had once stood at her son's funeral…and now they were standing at her wedding.
She turned at the altar and faced Harry. As the priest went on she took in the whole moment. She wanted to remember the moment for the rest of her life.
"Ginny, when I first meet you that summer in my second year, I knew I liked you from the start. Now that I look at how far we've come together…through school…through Voldemort…through having three wonderful children…the lose we've gone through…I now realize that you're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with." Harry told her. "I never thought that someone can show me the joys of life like you did. You blessed me with a wonderful family. And I would love for you and I to be to share the rest of our lives together. I love you. And nothing anyone ever says or does will change that."
"Harry, from the first time I laid eyes on you I knew I wanted to be your girl friend. No matter how young I was." Ginny said with a laugh. "But I now know that it wasn't just the looks I fell for or the hero you've always been…but the caring heart and loyalty and compassion you have for others that I fell in love with. And I too, want to spend the rest of my life with you. I never thought I could love someone the way I love you, or show me as much joy or excitement like you... And I never thought someone could love me the way you do. I love you Harry."
Okay, I don't know the whole priest speech so bear with bear!
"By the power invested by me…I now pronounce you husband and wife…you may kiss the bride." The priest said, and Harry pulled the veil up and kissed her tenderly as they crowd clapped and whistled.
At the reception people kept coming up and wishing them luck, and congratulating them. And they shared their first dance together as husband and wife…
Ginny leaned her head against Harry's chest. "I love you"
"I love you too..." Harry said, "My beautiful wife..." he added with a smile.
