Erased But Not Forgotten
Chapter 20
Finally Saying "I Do" and the Perfect Ending
Running hand in hand, Rose and Harry reentered the church, smiling as they walked up the aisle.
"What in the world-" the minister started with a confused look on his face, eyes glancing over their mud-covered clothes.
"We wish to be married, if you please!" Harry called out, grinning as they reached the flustered man. "Quickly please!"
"Why quickly? What's the rush?" Rose inquired curiously, cleaning repairing her mud- and water-stained dress with a flick of her wand.
"I've had to wait an unnecessary two months without you and I don't want to wait another hour wishing I could kiss you when I could have you taking my name within minutes," he replied, smile never wavering. Rose just smiled radiantly up at him.
"Very well," the minister sighed, "Do you-"
"Harry James Potter," Harry added.
"Take-"
"Briar Rose Aurora Thorn," Rose supplied with a grin.
"To be your lawfully wedded wife, for rich or for poor, in sickness and in health and promise to love and cherish, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Harry replied, smiling as he gazed into those smoky green eyes of hers.
"And do you,"
"Briar Rose Aurora Thorn," his Sleeping Beauty repeated.
"Take-"
"Harry James Potter," her Rose Prince said again.
"To be your lawfully wedded husband, for rich or for poor, in sickness and in health and promise to love and cherish, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Rose replied, smiling back at him as she looked into his emerald eyes, "far longer than forever."
"I now pronounce you husband and wife," the minister finished with a small smile thinking only one thought 'Ah, young love.' "You may now kiss the bride," he said to Harry who immediately dipped Rose and kissed her, venting all their pent-up passion, leaving her breathless and smiling.
"I now present: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Potter!" Everyone burst out cheering, some, like Mrs. Weasley and Lily started crying (though Lily managed to do it much more quietly). Hermione produced a flock of silver-white doves before kissing her own husband. Liz seemed to have the same idea, resulting in a very happy James Hammond.
"I love you, Mr. Potter," Rose whispered into Harry's ear with a smile, making him grin.
"I love you too, Mrs. Potter," he whispered back before they were attacked by their friends and family, some old, some new; and, indeed, life was perfect enough to be called…
Happily Ever After.
The End
