Logan came up behind Lily and wrapped his arms around her, "Merry Christmas, Darlin'."
Lily smiled and turned around in Logan's arms, "Happy Christmas, Logan," Then she gave him a sweet kiss.
Logan lets go of Lily then gets a coffee mug out of the cabinet, he pours himself some coffee and sits down at the island to watch Lily cook. Lily places a plate of gingerbread men in front of Logan.
"Thank you, Darlin'. I didn't know you knew how to make gingerbread men."
"I didn't, Marilyn gave me the recipe. I hope they're good."
Logan takes a bite, "They're great, thank you."
Lily smiles, "Anything for you, Love."
Logan pulls Lily into his lap, he nuzzles her neck while she takes a drink of his coffee, "So do you need any help with dinner?" Logan asks.
"No, everything is under control," Lily waves her wand, the oven door opens, and the turkey floats into the oven. "As you can see."
"Yeah, that's pretty good, Lils."
"Thank you. Now, let's open our presents."
Lily jumps off Logan's lap. She takes his hand and leads him into the living room. Lily skips to the Christmas tree and grabs a large box; she hands it to Logan, who looks at her confused.
"What's this?"
"Your Christmas present, silly."
Logan raises an eyebrow at Lily then goes to sit on the sofa. He puts the box on his lap and opens it. Logan's mouth falls open at the sight of the beautiful biker jacket, he runs his hand along with the soft leather and realizes that it's not cowhide.
"What's this made of?"
"Dragonskin from a Hungarian Horntail."
"Dragonskin, dragons exist?"
"Yes, here I'll show you."
Lily summoned her book Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them and showed Logan a picture of the Hungarian Horntail. He read the description; he looked up at Lily, "How the hell do they get the skin from a dragon like that?"
"I'm not entirely sure."
Logan grunted, then pulled Lily into his lap, "Thank you, I love it," He tells her then kisses Lily.
"You're welcome, love."
"Now, for your present."
"You didn't have to get me anything, Logan."
"I know, but I wanted to. The only thing is you have to find it," Logan says with a smirk.
Lily rolls her eyes and takes out her wand, "Accio my gift from Logan."
Lily watches as a small box comes off the tree and flies into her hand. She unwraps the box and sees that its a jewelry box. Lily's eyes widen, and she starts to hyperventilate. Logan takes the box from Lily and gets down on one knee.
"Lily, Darlin', I love you with all my heart. You're my mate and the love of my life, and I would be honored if you would become my wife," Logan said, then opened the box, presenting Lily with a diamond ring.
Lily gasped, her eyes begin to fill with tears, then she lunged at Logan, knocking him on his butt. She hugged him fiercely and started crying. Logan laughed and started rubbing her back.
"Is that a yes, Darlin'?"
"Yes, yes, Logan, I would love to be your wife," Lily tells him then wipes her eyes.
Logan stood up and brought Lily into his arms. He put the ring on her finger, then kissed Lily passionately and twirled her around, "Thank you, Darlin', for making me the happiest man on earth. So, when do you want to get married?"
"As soon as possible, Logan."
"Good, because I made arrangments for us to get married on New Year's Day," Logan tells Lily with a smirk.
"My, my weren't you sure of yourself."
Logan grins, "Yes, I was, Darlin', do you think you can be ready in time?"
"With a little bit of magic, of course, I can, love. Would you mind if I invite my friends?"
"You can invite whoever and have whatever you want, Lily, as long as you're happy."
"Thank you, Logan, I'd like to have a magical wedding," Lily tells Logan.
"That's fine with me, Darlin'."
"Then tomorrow we'll go to MACUSA to get our marriage license and get to get someone to officiate the wedding. Do you have anyone you'd like to invite?"
"No one comes to mind," Logan tells his financée.
"Alright then, I'll floo call my friends back home and see if they can come to our wedding,"
Just as Lily was about to make her call, Logan's phone rings, she answers the phone and is surprised to hear Jarvis' voice on the other end.
"Jarvis, Happy Christmas."
"Happy Christmas, Miss. Evans," There was a long pause, "Miss. Evans, Anthony's parents, are going to a Christmas party this evening, and I was wondering if your offer still stands?"
"Of course, Jarvis, you and Tony are more than welcomed to have Christmas dinner with Logan and me."
"Thank you, Miss Evans, then we shall see you at 6:00. I'll bring the Christmas pudding."
"That would be lovely, Jarvis, but why don't you and Tony come around 4:00 instead?"
"Alright, Miss Evans, we will be there at 4:00."
"Good, and Jarvis, please call me Lily."
"Thank you, Lily."
"You're welcome, Jarvis."
Lily hung up the phone and looked at Logan, "Boss skipped out on the kid again didn't he?"
"Yes, they did. So, Jarvis and Tony will be coming over."
"That's fine with me, Darlin'."
"Good, fire call Alice and Marlene to see if they can come to our wedding, then I'll check on dinner."
Logan nodded then went into the kitchen to get some more coffee and gingerbread men. When he came back into the living room, Logan saw Lily sticking her head in a green flame in the fireplace. Logan shrugged and sat down in front of the TV to watch whatever Christmas program that was on. After a while, Lily pulled her head out of the flames and smiled at Logan.
"So, what happened?"
"Marlene, Alice, and Frank are coming to our wedding. I also need to inform Marilyn, Susan, Christopher, Ernesto, and Aaron about our wedding as well. We can do that tomorrow after we go to MACUSA. Oh and then I have to buy a wedding dress and my bridesmaid's dresses. There so many things we need to do."
Logan chuckled, "One thing at a time, Darlin', the most important thing is the license, the official, and your dress. Everything else doesn't matter."
"You're right; the first thing we need to do is make this the greatest Christmas dinner that Tony has ever had. So let me check on how things are going."
Lily kissed Logan then went into the kitchen to check on dinner. Lily walked into the kitchen; she could see that everything was right on track. Everything was magically being cleaned peeled and cooked, just like Lily wanted. She checked over a few things then left the kitchen. Lily then went into the kitchen and sat down with Logan to watch TV.
While they were watching TV, Lily suddenly got an idea. She thought that she would transfigure a football for Tony out of an ornament so that he and Logan could play for a while. Logan thought that was a good idea, provided it didn't snow. So, Lily gets up, takes an ornament off the tree, and transfigures it into a football for Tony.
At 4:00 on the dot, Tony and Jarvis arrive. Lily opens the door and sees Tony, where the Gryffindor hat and scarf that she gave him the day before. Tony smiles up at Lily and hugs her.
"Hi, Lily, thanks for inviting us over."
Lily hugs Tony back, "Hello, Tony, you're welcome. Thank you for accepting."
Lily looks up at Jarvis, "Hello, Jarvis, how are you?"
"Hello, Lily, I'm fine, especially now that Anthony will not be spending Christmas with just me. Thank you again."
"You are more than welcome, Jarvis. Please come in."
Lily steps aside so that Jarvis and Tony can come in. Jarvis gives Lily the Christmas pudding then takes off his coat. She takes their coats and hangs them up in the closet. Lily then leads them into the living room where Logan is. He stands up and is rushed by an eight-year-old boy.
"Hi, Logan, thanks for inviting us to Christmas dinner."
"No problem, kid, we're happy to have you," Logan shakes Jarvis' hand, "Good to see you again, Jarvis."
"Good to see you, too, Mr. Howlett."
"Call me Logan, Jarvis; you don't need to be so formal."
"Alright, Logan," Jarvis says with a smile, "Well, I think I'll go give Lily a hand in the kitchen. Excuse me, gentlemen."
After Jarvis left for the kitchen, Logan turned to Tony, "Hey, kid, Lily, and I got you a couple of gifts."
"Really, Logan, what did you get me?"
"Nothing big," Logan said then went over to the tree to grab the two presents for Tony. Lily had wrapped the football, it was apparent what it was, but she thought that Tony would enjoy ripping the paper off. When Logan gave him the football, Tony rolled his eyes.
"Gee, I wonder what this is?" But he was still excited to tear the paper off, "Thanks, Logan."
"You're welcome, kid. We could toss it around for a bit before dinner."
"That would be awesome, Logan. What's the other present?"
"Open it."
Tony tore the wrapping off, and inside was a pair of Gryffindor gloves and a matching tie. Lily also transfigured a watch for Tony that had the Gryffindor Lion on it. Tony smiled brightly; he ripped off the watch he was wearing and put on his new watch.
Tony hugged Logan one more time, "Thank you, Logan."
"Now, that present is specifically from Lily, so; you may want to go thank her."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Tony takes off running towards the kitchen; He slides into the kitchen just as Lily is putting the Christmas pudding in the refrigerator. The minute she closes the refrigerator door, Tony lunges for her, "Thank you, Lily, I love my Christmas presents, especially the watch."
"Did you read the inscription?"
Tony blinked owlishly, "No, I didn't even notice there was one."
Taking off the watch, he turned it over and read the inscription, To My Little Lion, Happy Christmas.
Tony teared up when he read the inscription; he looked up at Lily with tears in his eyes and hugged Lily again, "Thank you so much, Lily."
Lily wiped away his tears with her thumb, "You're welcome, Tony. Now, why don't you go play with Logan until dinner is ready."
Tony smiles at Lily, "Okay, Lily. Hey, Logan come on let's go play!" Tony yells as he runs back into the living room.
Logan grabs his new jacket and put it own, "Woah, a nice jacket, Logan," Tony tells him.
"Thanks, kid, it's a Christmas present from Lils."
"Isn't she great, Logan?"
"Yeah, she is," Logan says, then goes to the drawer, grabs a couple of cigars, and puts them in his inside pocket. He pops the third one in his mouth and ushers Tony out the door.
"Come on, kid, let's go play," Logan said as Tony put on his Gryffindor hat gloves and scarf on then ran off ahead of Logan.
Jarvis watched from the window as Logan and Tony started tossing around the football in the middle of the empty streets. He smiled at the sight of Tony running down the road with the football trying to run past Logan to score a goal. Logan would grab Tony, pick him up and tickle him. He turned away from the window and continued to help Lily with dinner.
It had started snowing by the time Logan and Tony came inside. They were greeted at the door by Lily with two mugs of hot chocolate, "Dinner is almost ready. Why don't the two of you wash up."
"Okay, Darlin'," Logan said and ushered Tony towards the bathroom.
Logan helped Tony get undressed. He put Tony's wet things in the dryer, then took Tony to the bathroom to wash his hands. When they came out, they went to the dining room where Lily and Jarvis had already brought out the turkey and all the sides.
They had turkey, Roast Potatoes, Stuffing, Pigs in Blankets, which are small sausages that are wrapped in bacon, and often surround the turkey when it is served. Yorkshire Pudding, Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, Brussel Sprouts, Christmas Pudding, and Mince Pies.
They all sat down at the dinner table with Logan at the head and Lily at his right. He carved the turkey, then plated the turkey for each one. Logan would hand the plate to Lily; then, she would load it up with the sides and hand it to Jarvis, who gave it to Tony. Once everyone was served, they began eating. The conversation flowed smoothly between the quartet that was seated at the table. Tony made them laugh with the stories of the pranks he pulled at school, while Jarvis tried to admonish him with little success.
After dinner, Lily brought out the Christmas pudding and the Mince Pies. Logan got several Mince Pies and some Christmas pudding while Tony got a little of each. When their meal Logan and Tony went into the living room to watch It's a Wonderful Life while Lily and Jarvis cleaned up.
When they finished, Lily brought Logan a glass of eggnog with rum in it while Jarvis brought a nonalcoholic one for Tony. They all sat around and watched the movie. After a while, Tony fell asleep, at that was their cue to leave. Lily helped Logan bundle, Tony, up, and he carried Tony out to the car. Logan put Tony in the back seat with Jarvis, and the driver drove them back home.
Lily and Logan went back up to the apartment. They went to the living room and sat by the fire. Enjoying each other's presence and listening to Nat King Cole sing Christmas songs on the radio.
Logan kissed Lily's head as she snuggled in his arms, "Merry Christmas, Darlin'."
"Happy Christmas, Love."
The next day the couple went to the Woolworth Building to get their marriage license. Lily and Logan walked towards the Magical Office of Vital Statistics, where they issue the marriage licenses. An older lady with her hair in a bun greeted them, "Good morning, how may I help you?"
"Yes, my fianacé, and I would like to get a marriage license."
The lady smiled at Lily and Logan, "Congratulations. Are you both magical?"
"I am, but Logan is a No-Maj; is that a problem?"
"Not at all. The only thing we require from both of you is a drop of blood. When were you planning on getting married?"
"New Year's Day," Logan tells her.
The lady smiles, "Very romantic. will you be having a magical or a No-Maj wedding?"
"A magical one, if possible," Lily said.
"No problem. Do you need someone to officiate?"
"Yes, please."
"Alright then, I'll appoint someone to officiate your wedding. Just give me the place and the time."
"We don't have it yet, but we should have a location and time by tomorrow."
"That's fine, send us your patronus when you have the venue and time. Now, if I could get a drop of blood from each of you on this parchment paper."
The clerk handed a knife to Lily, who then proceeded to prick her finger. A drop of blood fell on the parchment paper, and it automatically filled out her information, including name, date of birth, and place of birth. Lily then handed the knife to Logan, who did the same thing and let a drop of blood fall on the parchment paper. The clerk read the parchment then looked up at Logan with a puzzled look.
"If you're wondering about the date of birth, don't, I'm and Mutant."
The clerk's eyes widened then she nods. Reaching into her file cabinet, she takes out another form, "That being the case, Mr. Howlett, your fianée is entitled to full citizenship to the United States because of your status."
"What do you mean?"
"MACUSA protects mutants, Mr. Howlett, and their spouses. Because of that fact, Miss. Evans will automatically become a US citizen."
"But, I'm Canadian," Logan tells the clerk.
"Then, we'll offer you dual citizenship, Mr. Howlett seeing from your records that you have spent most of your time on United States soil."
Logan raised an eyebrow; they got all that information off one drop of his blood? He shrugged, "That's fine."
"Alright, then I'll get the paperwork done," The clerk waved her wand and filled out the forms. She had Lily and Logan give one more drop of blood on the new parchments then gave them each a copy.
"Congratulations, both of you are now United States citizens in that Magical and Mundane world. And here is your marriage license," Then she handed Lily their marriage license.
Lily and Logan thanked the clerk, but just as they were walking out of her office, the clerk suggested that the couple go to Liberty Lane and talk to a wedding planner there to help them find a suitable venue for their wedding. Lily thanked the clerk, took Logan by the hand, and disapparated to Liberty Lane.
When they arrived, Logan took a deep breath and cleared his throat, "Are you alright," Lily asked.
"Never better, Darlin. So, where do we go from here?"
"Let's head over to the wedding planner's office, and then we'll have lunch at the pub."
Lily took out her wand and cast a point me charm. Once she had the directions, Lily and Tony head off towards the Wedding Planner's office. They go inside and are greeted by a plump woman with long black hair and grey eyes. If Lily didn't know better, she'd say that this lady was related to Sirius Black.
"Good morning, I'm Lisa Simmons; how can I help you today?"
"Good morning Ms. Simmons, I'm Lily Evans, and this is my fiancé Logan Howlett. We were wondering if you can help us plan a small wedding ceremony. The only thing is that we would like to be married on January 1st."
Lisa laughs, "Oh, dear, that's not a problem. Did you have a venue in mind?"
"No, we didn't, but whatever Lily wants is fine with me," Logan tells her. Lisa smiles at Logan.
"Well, since this is a winter wedding, I have several venues in mind. Let's go into my office, and we can discuss it."
The couple follows Lisa into her office and sits down. Lisa waves her wand, and several books fly off the shelf and land on her desk. She flicks her wand and the pages open to scenes for a winter wedding.
"Now, these are some of the ways we can decorate the hall for your wedding. I know you said it's going to be a small wedding, but there's no reason it can't be elegant."
Lily and Logan look over some of the halls and see how detailed it is. Logan looks up at Lisa, "Will you have enough time to do all this?"
Lisa smiles at him, "You must be a No-Maj, Mr. Howlett. Of course, we have time; we have magic on our side. All you need to do is tell me what you want, and I'll take care of the rest."
"That being the case, Lisa, spare no expense," Logan tells her.
Lisa nods then begin to show them all the options they have. Once they picked out the style and venue, Lisa spends her patronus to the clerk's office to let her know where the official need to go on New Year's Day. After that, Lisa and Lily start talking about wedding dresses.
"I can take you to the bridal store, Lily, and we can pick out your wedding and bridesmaids' dresses."
"That's fine, Lisa. Logan, do you want to come along?"
"No, Darlin', I think you should do this with your friends if they can join you. What I would like is for you to take me home. I need to see the boss."
"Alright, Logan, Lisa, I'll be right back."
Lily takes Logan by the hand and disapparates to Logan's apartment. When Lily leaves, Logan goes outside, gets in his truck, and drives up to Howard Stark's mansion. He arrives an hour later to the estate and knocks on the door, Jarvis answers.
"Logan, I wasn't expecting to see you soon. What brings you by?" Jarvis says as he invites Logan into the house.
"I need to talk to the boss about taking some time off. Lily and I are getting married."
"Congratulations, Logan, when is the big day?"
"On New Year's Day. So I need that day off and maybe a few extra days."
"Well, Mr. Stark is in the study right now. Let me inform him you're here."
Jarvis goes into the study to inform Howard while Logan waits in the living room. A few minutes later, Howard and Maria Stark come out of the study. Maria greets Logan warmly, "Hello, Logan, I'm so glad you're here I wanted to thank you for having Anthony and Jarvis over for Christmas Dinner last night. Tony couldn't stop talking about it this morning."
Howard gave Maria a confused look, "He did? I didn't know about that."
"Oh, Howard, you gave Jarvis to take Anthony to Logan's house yesterday before we left, remember?" Maria said.
"Oh, that's right. Is that what Tony was talking about this morning?" Howard asked.
Logan ignores Howard, "It was a pleasure to have them over, Ma'am. My fiancée and I enjoyed having them. That's why I'm here. I wanted to ask you, Boss, for New Year's Day off, Lily, and I have decided to get married that day."
"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?!" Tony yells from the top of the stairs. He then comes running downstairs into the living room.
"Anthony, don't shout and don't run in the house," Maria tells him.
"Sorry, Mom. You're getting married, Logan, can I come?"
"Anthony, I'm sure Mr. Logan only has his family and friends going to his wedding. I'm sorry about that, Logan."
"It's alright, Mrs. Stark, I don't have any family and Lily only invited a few friends. Kid, if you want to come and you're folks says it's okay, that's fine with me."
Tony looks at his mother. Maria looks at Howard, who shrugs, "Alright, Anthony, you can go. But Jarvis has to go with you."
"Alright! I'm going to tell Jarvis. HEY JARVIS, WE'RE GOING TO A WEDDING!" Tony yells and runs out of the room.
Maria rolls her eyes and turns to Logan, "Of course you can have New Year's Day off. Right, Howard?"
Howard looks up from his paper, "Yes, of course, as a matter of fact, Logan, you can have two weeks paid vacation off. And feel free to use our jet to go anywhere you and your bride want. Call it a Christmas/Wedding present from Maria and me."
"Thanks, Boss, I appreciate that."
"You're welcome, Logan, you deserve it. You've been a loyal employee for a while now and have always been there for Anthony. Don't think I haven't noticed," Maria tells him as she leads Logan out of the living room, "Anthony talks about you all the time, you know?"
"He's a great kid, Ma'am."
"Yes, he is. Thank you for being there for Tony, Logan. I want to add something else to Howard's gift. I want to add the use of our cabin in Aspen for you and your bride if you'd like to use it. I know how much you like the outdoors."
"Thank you, Mrs. Stark, I'm sure Lily would love to go to Colorado for our honeymoon. She hasn't seen a whole lot of the country since she's been here."
"Oh, where is she from, Logan?"
"England, Ma'am. She's here for school."
Maria nods.
"Well, I guess I should be getting back. Got a wedding to plan," Logan says with a smile.
"Alright, Logan, I'll make sure that Anthony and Jarvis arrive on time to your wedding on New Year's. Please give Jarvis the time before you leave."
Logan nods and heads for the kitchen. He finds Jarvis there prepare lunch for the Stark family, "Jarvis, I'm assuming the kid told you you're invited to my wedding?"
"Yes, Logan, he was quite excited. And you don't have to worry about the magical aspects of your wedding. I'll alter Tony's memory afterward."
Logan stares at Jarvis, "You're a wizard?"
Jarvis nods, "I'm like Lily a Muggleborn, I fought against Gellert Grindelwald in WWII."
"Does Lily know?"
"Oh, yes, we had a nice conversation while you and Tony were playing outside yesterday."
"No, shit? What made you decide to become a butler?"
"I too became disillusioned with the British Wizarding World. But since I had no other education, this is all the work I could find. I don't regret it all. Especially since Anthony was born."
Logan smiles, "That's good to hear, Jarvis, you're good for the kid."
"So are you, Logan. Do you know when and where your wedding will be."
"Not yet, Lily is working that out right now."
"Well, have her send me a Patronus with the time and location, and we'll be there."
"Alright, Jarvis, see you then."
"See you then, Logan, and congratulations again."
"Thanks, Jarvis." With that, Logan headed for the door.
Back in Liberty Lane, Lily had floo'd her friends to come to the bridal shop so that they could help her pick out her wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses. Alice, Marlene, Marilyn, and Susan all showed up. Lily introduced her new friends to her old friends, and the girls started talking animatedly about Lily's wedding dress.
It took several hours, but Lily chose a beautiful white long-sleeved mermaid wedding dress with white fur trim. And for the girls, she picked silver gowns with white fur wraps. And for Logan, Lily chose a nice silver suit. Lily didn't bother to pick a tie; she knew Logan wouldn't wear it anyway. Lily had taken Logan's measurements before she left the apartment, so she gave them to the tailor. The tailor told Lily that the suit and the dresses would be ready in a few hours. While they waited for the dresses, Lily and the girls went to the jewelry store to help Lily pick out Logan's wedding band. Lily decided on a simple platinum wedding band. She explained that Logan had simple tastes and wouldn't want anything flashy. But Lily had protection runes added to the ring along with a tracking spell. After that, they had lunch at a nearby restaurant, and Lily told Marlene and Alice a little bit about Logan.
"I can't wait to meet your fiancé, Lily; he sounds like an interesting Muggle," Alice said.
Lily smiled, "Yes, he is. I think you two will love him."
"I'm sure we will, Lily, especially since he makes you so happy," Marlene tells her closest friend.
Once everything was ready, Lily and the girls went back to the bridal shop to pick up the dresses and the suit. Lily gave the bridesmaids dresses to her friends and gave them the time and location of the ceremony. Alice and Marlene said that they would arrange to take a portkey directly to the place and would be there in time to help Lily get ready.
When Lily got back to the apartment, Logan was already there. She kissed him and told him that everything was already arranged, "I even got a suit for you," Lily tells Logan.
Logan raises an eyebrow. Lily giggled, "Don't worry, Logan, it's not what you think. I promise you you'll love it."
"Alright, Darlin', I'll take your word for it. So, the boss gave me two weeks' paid vacation and the use of his cabin in Aspen. So I have our honeymoon squared away."
"Aspen, where's that?"
"It's in Colorado, Darlin'. You'll love it. Mountains, trees, fresh air. And if you want, we can go skiing."
"Sounds like fun."
"There's one more thing, Tony and Jarvis are coming to our wedding. The kid heard me talking to the Bosse's wife about it and asked if he could go. I couldn't say no."
"That's fine, Logan, we'll alter Tony's memory, so he doesn't remember the magical aspects of the wedding."
"That's what Jarvis said. Why didn't you tell me he's a wizard?"
"Honestly, I forgot, I'm sorry."
"That's fine; he did tell me that when we had everything figured out for you to send him that ghost thing to let Jarvis know when and where to go."
Lily laughed, "It's called a Patronus, Logan."
"Yeah, that thing."
"Alright, I'll send it to him now. Expecto Patronum."
Lily waved her wand, and a silver wolf appeared. It gave a long howl then came and sat in front of Lily. Lily cocked her head to the side, "That's funny, my Patronus changed, it used to be a rabbit," Lily smiled and Looked at Logan, "It changed to a wolf because of you, Logan."
"Me, why me?"
"Because we're mates. It's a reflection of who I am, and now I'm a predator instead of prey," Lily explains. She stared at her Patronus for a minute, "What do they call you, Logan?"
"Wolverine, why?"
"Then, that's what I'll call him, Wolverine," She said, then tells her Wolverine to give Edwin Jarvis a message. She says to her Patronus the time and location of the wedding. The wolf nods and disappears through the wall. A few minutes later, Jarvis' owl Patronus comes through the wall, informing them that he and Tony will be there.
On New Year's Eve, Lily went out with her friends to Times Square, and from there, they were going to go back to the dorms so that Lily could pack her things and stay away from Logan until the ceremony. She left Logan's suit for him on the bed for the next day. Since Lily was going out, Logan decided to go to a bar and have a few drinks then head home.
The next day, Logan went out, had breakfast at his favorite diner, then headed back home. He didn't have anything to do until later on that day, so Logan decided to clean the apartment. When Logan finished that, he polished his black boots until they shined. Looking up at the clock, he noticed the time. Logan got up, went to the bathroom to take a shower. After he finished his shower, Logan opened the garment bag and took out the suit.
Logan smirked when he saw the suit, "She has exquisite taste."
Logan quickly got dressed, put on his black boots then left the apartment. He drove down to the venue where the ceremony was going to be held. Walking into the place, Logan stopped short; he gazed around in awe at the sight of the hall. The wedding hall looked like a winter wonderland in blue. The blue trees hung over the aisle, creating an archway while the ceiling was enchanted to look like the New York Skyline. At the end of the corridor was a brightly light alter, and there stood the official in black robes.
Logan made his way up the aisle towards the official. The official smiled when he saw local. He walked over to Logan and offered his hand, "Good evening Mr. Howlett; I'm Stephen Eckhart; I'll be officiating your wedding today."
Logan shook the man's hand, "Nice to meet you, sir."
Mr. Eckhart put his hand on Logan's shoulder, "Nervous, son?"
"A little."
"Don't be when your bride comes down that aisle. All you'll see is her."
"Thanks."
"I do have to ask you, Mr. Howlett, since you are a Mutant, would you like the ceremony to be done the Magical way or the No-Maj way?"
"How do you do it, the Magical way?"
"I bind your hands together, say a hand-binding prayer. You repeat the vows I give you. The No-Maj way is pretty standard."
"No, let's do it the Magical way. I think it will make Lily happier."
Mr. Eckhart smiled, "If that's what you want, Mr. Howlett."
While Logan was talking to the official, Jarvis and Tony showed up. Tony looked around, amazed by what he saw, "Whoa, this is so cool!" Tony said.
Logan smiled and excused himself to talk with Jarvis and Tony. He walked down to where they were and shook Jarvis and Tony's hand, "Glad you two could make it," Logan said.
Tony grinned, "Are you kidding, Logan, I wouldn't have missed your wedding for the world," Tony tells him.
Logan lays a hand on Tony's shoulder, "Thanks, kid."
"Especially a magical wedding. Jarvis told me everything. Don't worry, he also told me he'd have to alter my mind, so I don't remember the magic stuff."
Mr. Eckhart heard this and walked over, "That won't be necessary, Mr. Howlett. Is this little boy family?"
"He practically family, yeah."
"Oh, in that case, if you can swear you won't tell anyone about what you're going to see, I can cast a spell that will help you never mention it, and you'll keep your memories."
"That would be great!" Tony said, then he frowned, "Will it hurt?"
"Not at all, young man, take my hand."
Tony took Mr. Eckhart's hand. Mr. Eckhart took out his wand, "Do you, Anthony Stark, swear that you will never reveal the magic you are about to see at this wedding to anyone else ever?"
"I swear," Tony said.
Mr. Eckhart waved his wand; there was a glow between Tony and Stephen, and that was it, "Okay, you're all set. you can keep your memories, but you can never talk about it to anyone who isn't magical."
Tony looked at Mr. Eckhart with excitement shining in his eyes, "Alright, I can't wait!"
"Alright, now that that's settled, kid, I want you to be my best man," Logan tells Tony.
"Really?"
"Yep, but don't lose the ring."
"I won't, Logan, I promise, "

Meanwhile, in the back, Marlene, Alice, and Frank had arrived by portkey, and Susan and Marilyn apparated in as well. Frank greeted Lily and congratulated her, then Alice told him to wait outside so that he could walk Lily up the aisle. Once Frank left, the girls got busy helping Lily get ready.

Once they were ready, Afterwards, Alice went out into the hall and called Frank. He came inside and stopped short.
"You look stunning, Lily."
"Thank you, Frank, and thank you for walking me down the aisle."
"It's an honor to walk you down the aisle, Lily. Are you ready?"
Lily took a deep breath, "Yes."
Frank sent his patronus to Mr. Eckhart, letting them know they were ready. Tony's eyes widen when he saw the ghost horse come up to the official. Once, Mr. Eckhart got the message, Mr. Eckhart waved his wand, and the music started. Everyone took their seats and watched the bridesmaids make their way up the aisle.
A few seconds later, Logan saw Lily being escorted by who he assumed was Frank Longbottom. Mr. Eckhart was right; the only thing that Logan could see was Lily walking towards him with a massive smile on her face; everything else faded away. Lily's smile only grew when she saw Tony standing next to Logan as his best man in a matching suit.
As Lily walked closer to Logan, her vision started to blur. Tears of joy began to fill her eyes. Lily blinked a few times to clear her vision. When they got to the alter, Frank put Lily's hand in Logan's.
"Who gives this woman away?"
"I do."
"And do you accept this woman?"
"With all my heart, yes."

"Blessed be this union with the gifts of the West.
The deep commitments of the lake The swift excitement of the river The refreshing cleansing of the rain The all-encompassing passion of the sea."

"So mote it be."
"So mote it be." Everyone repeated, including Logan and Tony.
"Now, face each other and repeat your vow I am about to give you."
"Ye are Blood of my Blood, and Bone of my Bone.
I give ye my Body that we Two might be One.
I give ye my Spirit, 'til our Life shall be Done."
"Ye are Blood of my Blood, and Bone of my Bone.
