Everybody was barefoot, even stiff, stubborn, McGonagall. Lilies hung from an arching trellis, and covered the backs of the white chairs. The isle was lined with sea shells and rocks that the children had found that morning. The waves lapped quietly at the beach. Children ran through chairs and all around anxious for the wedding to be over so they can have cake.

In a small tent put up for the occasion Ginny paced nervously. Her silky cream colored dress swayed about her calves as she walked back and forth. She finally stopped long enough to scrutinize herself in a full length mirror. She wore no make up, and her skin, now tanned from a week in Cancun, shone radiantly. Her long red hair had been gathered into a half pony tail and the rest flowed over her shoulders. A long bang was twisted into a perfect tendril.

Her silk dress was halter and tied behind her neck, leaving pieces of silk fabric resting on her back. In the V-neck of the halter sat her grandmother's necklace, a beautiful strand of costume jewelry pearls. Ginny had always admired them as a child. She had knotted them in the middle, giving them a touch of elegance. The cream dress clung to the smallest part of her waist then flowed away from her body ever so slightly until it came to her mid-calf. She too wore no shoes.

"You look beautiful." Hermione assured her once again. Hermione was wearing a dress similar to Ginny's. It was turquoise blue and sat just below the knee. Ginny had in fact liked the dress so much she bought one for herself. Hermione's bushy brown hair had been tamed and hung long and straight. It looked similar to the way she wore it the night of the Yule Ball. She had a small lily tucked behind her ear and her cheeks were tinted with blush.

"Really Ginny," said her mother, putting her hands on her daughters shoulders, "everything is going to be just fine." Her eyes welled with tears. "I just can't believe my baby's getting married. Married oh my goodness, and to a man the world owes their lives to." She fanned her eyes. "I'm sorry dear. I'm just so happy for you. Harry is a wonderful man. You're incredibly lucky."

Meanwhile in another tent Harry too stood in front of a mirror. He looked quite dashing in his pinstripe tuxedo. It was black and the pinstripes were emerald green. He was desperately trying to flatten his hair, but to no avail. Ron stood beside him with a firm hand clamped on Harry's shoulder.

"You're getting married mate." He said reassuringly. "Soon you'll wake up one morning and she'll want pickles and ice-cream."

Harry smiled weakly. Fred and George sat in the corner whispering, which is never a good sign. All three men were decked our in black suits with green shirts and ties.

"Ron? I'm not rushing into this, am I?"

"Harry, you and Ginny wouldn't have rushed into marriage if you were three and she was two. You two were made for each other. She has a tattoo of your scar on her wrist Harry. What kind of girl does that if she isn't in love? You already told me you're planning to have her name tattooed on you ankle. And you know well enough that you don't plaster something on your body permanently for nothing. You two belong together."

"Thanks man." Harry said, turning around and embracing his best friend.

"Okay, okay, the love fest is over. Sorry Ron but he just doest look your type." Said Fred.

"Plus I hear this kid's looking to get hitched." Added George.

Harry smiled and hugged them both.

Harry stood at the end of the isle next to Ron and watched as the twins led their mother down the isle. They stood on either side of her and both kissed her on the cheek before they seated her in the front row. They then continued up the isle and took their places on the other side of their little brother. Harry glanced at Mrs. Weasley. She was already dabbing her eyes with the handkerchief he had bought her. His eyes darted back up the isle and watched as Sirius and Jake paraded down the isle with Kathryn and Isabelle. The boys looked as if they would rather be anywhere else while the girls smiled and threw flower petals on the sand.

Luna walked down the isle followed by Katie Bell. Both wore some hue of turquoise, in different styles of dresses. Ron smiled brightly as he saw Hermione step from the tent. She carried a bouquet of lilies and the ties of her dress followed, trailing in the sand. She stopped in front of McGonagall and grinned at Harry before turning her attention to the opposite end of the isle.

The crowd stood as Ginny and her father appeared. A small spurt of wind kicked up and her dress fluttered with the breeze. A violin started to play and the duet walked slowly. Ginny smiled shyly at Harry then looked down at her feet. They stopped and Mr. Weasley kissed his daughter on the cheek. Then he stepped forward and shook Harry's hand.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." He said grinning with pride.

The ceremony was conducted beautifully. Having Professor McGonagall there was just the right touch.

"Harry and Ginny have chosen to combine muggle and wizarding traditions in this ceremony. They have prepared their own vows. Harry would you like to recite them now?"

Harry nodded. "Ginny, I remembered the first time I met you. I was young and clueless, trying to get to platform nine and three quarters." He laughed quietly. "I remember sitting with your brother and looking out the window at you as you ran with the train for as long as you could. I couldn't help but wish that I had a family like that, that would run after me. And I know now that I do. Your family has been so special and important in my life. Especially you Ginny. I couldn't have done anything without you. You are my rock. I love you." Mrs. Weasley's joyful sobs could be heard around the entire beach. Ginny's eyes were wet with tears.

"Harry James Potter. I remember looking up at you, lying on a cold stone floor in a terrifying chamber. Your forehead was wet with sweat and your eyes full of fear. That was the first and last time I ever saw that look. Your arm was the bloodiest mess I had ever seen and I could tell you were dying. I was afraid I would lose you forever. And then that glorious bird Fawlks saved your life. I am indebted to the bird for life. She gave me my Harry back. I knew then that I loved you. You saved my life for a reason. That reason was so we could be together. I am standing her because of you. My father walked me up the isle because of you. My brother is standing beside you today because of you. You are part of this family Harry. You only needed me to make it official. And I am more then happy to do that. You're the best thing that ever happened to this family. You're the best thing that ever happened to me." For the first time she had ever witnessed Harry's eyes were brimming with tears.

The couple then whispered a sacred and ancient spell they had chosen to bind themselves forever in matrimony. And when they turned and faced the crowd they were Mr. and Mrs. Potter.

Ron stood at the head table in the reception hall with his glass raised. He banged on it with a spoon and waited for the newly weds to kiss. He then grinned out at the crown and began his duty as best man.

"I've known this man right here since I was eleven years old. He was the dork with the black hair that couldn't get on the platform." The congregation laughed. "We rode to Hogwarts together and unfortunately got sorted into the same house as the smart-ass Hermione, just kidding sweet heart. We went through ups and downs and if I remember he mended a fair few fights between Hermione and me. And she did the same fore us. I've watched this boy stand up for what he believes when the world was against him. I've stood helpless as he was thrown into mortal peril time and time again. This boy deserves every bit of my sister. And she deserves him. To Harry and Ginny, if there was a couple more better suited for each other, I think I'd puke." He threw back a shot of fire whiskey. "And now… their first dance as husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Potter."

Wanting you the way I do
I only want to be with you
And I would go to the ends of the earth
Cause, darling, to me that's you're worth

Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely, and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there in the next train

Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

I always wanted a real home with flowers on the window sill
But if you want to live in New York city, honey, you know I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction from just one man
But if anyone can keep me happy, you're the one who can

And where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

Ginny smiled sweetly into the face of her groom. She was happy she had let him choose the song. She kept her fingers wrapped around his neck and kissed him lightly on the mouth. The family cheered and hooted and she tipped her head back and laughed. She was with her Harry now and forever.
