So, here's the next installment. As Fred and George do everything else together, I figured it would only make sense for them to do this together as well. I know that JKR says that George and Angelina end up together, but I think that's only because Fred died. In this case, he didn't die, so he is still with Angelina. Hope you all like it.
"All ready, Gred?"
"Ready, Forge."
"Rings?"
"Dress robes?"
"Girls?"
"We better go pick them up, dear brother."
"I think everything's ready."
"I'll see you…"
"In fifteen minutes!" The twins smiled, then both Apparated away to pick up their dates.

Fred appeared at the Johnson residence gate and promptly made his way to the front door. Mrs. Johnson greeted him warmly and led him inside. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson adored Fred. He was a well-to-do businessman, very charming, handsome, a war hero, and he adored their daughter. What more could parents ask for?
They had, naturally, given their consent when Fred asked for Angelina's hand. Both knew that today was the big day, and were having trouble concealing their excitement. At the sound of footsteps, they all turned to see Angelina coming down the stairs. She was wearing a gorgeous set of lilac dress robes her mother had helped her choose that were rather daringly cut in front.
"Wow, Ang, you look amazing!"
"Thanks, Fred, you look pretty good yourself."
"Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, I'll take good care of her. I will guard her with my life." He winked at Mrs. Johnson who smiled.
"Bye Mum, bye Dad. I'll see you later tonight." They walked back out past the gates and Fred Apparated them away.

Meanwhile, George appeared before Spinnet Hall, Alicia's home. He walked through the garden and up the stairs to ring the bell. He was shown in by an elderly house elf.
"Mr. Weasley, ma'am."
"Thank you, Daisy." The elf bowed and disappeared with a crack. "Do come here, Mr. Weasley." George walked over to Mrs. Spinnet, who was smiling widely.
"It's good to see you Mrs. Spinnet. How are you this evening?"
"I'm doing quite well Mr. Weasley, and yourself?"
"I'm doing wonderfully, ma'am. Thank you for asking."
"So, tonight is the big night, I take it?"
"Yes, ma'am. I hope I'll be getting a favorable answer." Mrs. Spinnet smiled.
"I'm quite sure you will, dear." Mr. and Mrs. Spinnet had both formed a favorable opinion of George, though they did no dote on him the way Mr. and Mrs. Johnson doted on Fred. The Spinnets were an old, Pureblood family, and, while they thought George a charming young man, were not as impressed by his money and war hero status as the Johnson's were.
A few moments later, Alicia walked into the sitting room. She was in a pale blue set of dress robes that were fashioned like a muggle evening gown. George thought she looked radiant. He stood and walked over to her.
"Alicia, you look amazing." She blushed.
"Thanks, George. You look good too." George held out his arm.
"Thank you my lady. Shall we go?"
"Yes, let's. Good-bye Mum, I'll see you later."
"Good-bye Mrs. Spinnet. I'll take good care of your daughter."
"You had better, Mr. Weasley." The stern voice she spoke with was rather ruined by her smile. George and Alicia walked out of the house and down to the gates, then George Apparated them away.

The twins and Alicia and Angelina appeared in the middle of an open field within minutes of each other. Fred and Angelina arrived first, and they kept up a flow of chatter until George and Alicia arrived. The twins then Apparated their dates a mile over to where they had prepared their surprise for the girls.
Neither Alicia nor Angelina were surprised to see each other. Both knew that Fred and George just went together. They did everything together and were willing to accept that. They were, however, both curious as to what the night would hold. When they appeared on the top of a hill overlooking a city on one side, and the open field filled with fireflies, fairies, and crickets on the other, they were enchanted. It was so beautiful it took them a moment to take in the picnic laid out.
Fred and George helped Angelina and Alicia sit, then joined them, and called for their first course. This was no ordinary picnic. It was catered by the most exclusive restaurant in England, Merlin's Cauldron. The restaurant had willingly supplied the food and the elves to cater the event. The food was delicious, and Alicia and Angelina enjoyed their picnic immensely.
Fred and George kept their dates entertained with stories of different customers to their shop. After the meal was over, and the elves thanked, they finished up the night with fireworks. The display was magically hidden from view of the muggle village to the west. There was the famous dragon, some hearts, a few "normal" fireworks thrown in for good measure, smiley faces, and many others. As it wound down, both Fred and George spoke up.
"Time for the grand finale." There was a massive explosion and the sky was filled with light. As Alicia and Angelina shielded their eyes, two ring boxes, two bouquets of flowers, and two boxes of chocolates fell into Fred's and George's laps. When the girls could see again, they gasped. Fred and George were kneeling in front of them, holding flowers and chocolates. Written in stars across the sky was the following:
Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, we know we're just a couple of crazy goofballs, but we love you, will you marry us?
The girls looked to their dates who were smiling hopefully, then to each other in amazement, before jumping at their boyfriends and squealing.
"Yes! Yes! We'll marry you!!!" Fred and George were bowled over and they went rolling down the hill, laughing. Angelina and Alicia were laughing as well. The boys helped their dates up, kissed them before taking out the rings. They were matching gold bands with large rubies surrounded by diamonds.
"They don't belong to anyone, but we thought you were too special for hand-me-downs. These will start our legacies." The girls embraced their fiancés and kissed them for their kindness before turning to each other and starting to plan their wedding.
