A/N: Well this is it, its all over, still I apologize for the inconsistent spelling and grammar throughout this story, I really hope you enjoyed reading it. I may not be as brilliant as JK Rowling but I like the way it came out... No way is it spectacular but this is the first (and probably only) story I've ever actually finished. Now we'll get to read the real seventh book in this wonderful series... Thanks...
Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Fairytale Ending.
Finally the big day arrived, both Harry and Ginny were bundles of nerves. As Harry and Ron got ready in their hotel room at the Wizard Majestic Hotel in London Harry couldn't think straight and made no sense when he tried to talk.
'Harry now, don't be nervous this is what you've been waiting for since the day that you and Ginny got together, it's your wedding day, smile for goodness sake' Sirius said to him when he popped in to see him half an hour before they were due to go downstairs in to the convention room they'd booked for the ceremony and reception.
'Yeah Harry I was a complete wreck before my wedding remember, but when I saw Hermione all of my nervousness disappeared and all I could think about was how happy I was to be marrying her and how much I was looking forward to our life together' Ron said clapping him on the shoulder.
'Ready men?' Mr Weasley poked his head in the door; he'd been with Ginny.
'I'd better go and sit down then, good luck,' Sirius said leaving.
Harry nodded and they walked out the door.
Ginny and Hermione were having a similar conversation.
'Ginny, its ok this is going to be a wonderful day, it's your day. This is all about you and Harry, as soon as you see him your nerves will just melt away and tonight you'll be married to the man of your dreams' Hermione said to her friend.
Ginny nodded.
'All ready to go?' Mrs Weasley said, 'Ginny you look absolutely gorgeous, I can't believe that my little girl is getting married today' she said as a few tears escaped her eyes.
Ginny picked up her bouquet; Hermione picked up hers in one hand and took her daughters in the other.
Harry stood behind the closed doors, waiting… as the doors opened music started, he made his way up the isle followed by Ron who stood behind him at the front of the packed room.
Hermione started her walk holding her flowers in one hand and Isabella's hand in her other hand. Her hair was loose but controlled with a silver, sparkling, fake-diamond clad clip on one side, her dress was layered and deep purple in colour, the same as Harry, Ron and Mr Weasley's shirts and pocket-handkerchiefs. The flowers she carried were purple lilies. Isabella was in a lighter purple dress similar to her mothers with a garland of purple and white flowers set atop her head of ringleted red hair, she looked adorable.
Harry's breath caught in his chest when the double doors opened again and Ginny started making her way up the isle arm in arm with her father, smiling widely, eyes sparkling. Her flaming red hair was half up the rest falling in soft ringlets around her shoulders and down her back, she wore a sparkly silver tiara and her veil was two layers the bottom layer fell to the very tips of her fingers, the top layer was about elbow length and covering her face at the moment. Her white dress was strapless, the bodice was sparkling with fake diamonds and the skirt was full length with a train about a meter long, she held in her hands a bunch of purple roses cascading towards the ground with dots of white flowers here and there, she was an angel, to Harry this was the image of perfection.
They reached the front and Arthur disengaged his daughter's arm from his own, kissing her hand he placed it in to Harry's.
'Good evening everyone. We are here to celebrate the joining of these two people in front of me. Harry Potter and Ginervera Weasley stand at the start of their lives together. If there is any-one here who can give me just reason why these two people should not be joined please speak now or forever hold your peace' The officiator said, Harry and Ginny had chosen a different marriage celebrant than Ron and Hermione and he had his own way of performing the ceremony.
Harry held his breath, half expecting someone to stand up or burst through the doors. Someone coughed but no one spoke.
'Ok Harry' Harry took a deep breath and let it out slowly 'Harry James Potter, do you take Ginervra Weasley as your wife? Do you promise to love, cherish and support her for the rest of your life?' The wizard said.
'I do' Harry said squeezing Ginny's hand slightly and smiling.
'Do you Ginervera Weasley take Harry James Potter as you husband? To love, cherish and support him for the rest of your life?' The officiator said to Ginny.
'I do' Ginny squeezed back and smiled.
'This couple have chosen to write their own vows. Harry please proceed' The officiator said.
Harry took a folded up piece of parchment from his pocket and unfolded it, he took another deep breath 'Ginny' he said, 'The feelings I have for you run deep and strong throughout my whole body, I've never loved anyone else as much as I love you. You're my strength, my support and at times, my brain. To me there is nothing more wonderful or powerful than my love for you. I make the promise to you that I will love you for all eternity, to support you on everything and to never take you for granted. You are my one, my only, my true love and I am grateful to you for everything you do for me' Harry read.
Many people, including Ginny had tears in their eyes.
'Ginny it's your turn, please go on,' the officiator said.
She took the piece of parchment Hermione offered her and unfolded it taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly.
'Harry, ever since I first saw you I've loved you, firstly it was a girlish crush, then as a good friend, as a girlfriend and as a fiancé and soon as a wife. As I stand here today I pledge my heart and soul to yours, as I become Mrs Harry Potter. It's still a little hard to believe this is actually happening because I keep expecting to wake up from some wonderful dream, even if this is a dream I'll be happy just to have experienced it. You're my true love and I thank you for loving me back as much as you do' Ginny read.
More people were crying now.
'The rings please' the wizard said.
Ron and Hermione handed over the rings, like at their friends wedding the officiator handed Harry and Ginny each others rings and said 'place these rings on each others fingers and repeat together. With this wedding band I bind, my hand to yours and yours to mine'
They repeated and pushed the rings on they glowed simultaneously.
'I now pronounce you husband and wife. Respect each other and remember your vows always. You may kiss the bride'.
Harry lifted Ginny's veil over her head, she looked gorgeous even with tears running down her cheeks. Harry wiped them away and kissed his wife, they walked back up the isle amongst scattered confetti.
Ginny went off to fix her make up before the photos, after they were taken they told the MC that they were ready and lined up at the closed doors together.
'The wedding party will now make their way back in, Best Man Ronald Weasley, Matron of Honour Hermione Weasley, Flower Girl Isabella Weasley and the Brides Parents Molly and Arthur Weasley!' They walked in to applause 'and introducing Mr and Mrs Harry Potter!' The MC said as Harry and Ginny walked in to more applause, they all sat down at the bridal table.
The room looked spectacular, where the isle and chairs had been and hour before stood several long tables with black and purple layered table cloths, each with two flower arrangements and several lit candles sitting on them, a name tag stood on the tables in front of each chair. Fairies darted around the ceiling like glittering stars, in the middle of the room with the tables arranged around it was a dance floor.
The meal was beautiful, before the cake Harry stood up and tapped the side of his goblet, everyone looked up at him 'Ginny and I would like to thank everyone for coming tonight, we hope you all have a fantastic time' he said sitting down, it was time for the speeches.
Ron got up 'wow, I can hardly believe I'm making a speech at my little sisters wedding. Ginny I hope you are always happy, I wish you all the very best in your marriage and Harry I know you're my best mate but if you ever do anything to hurt my little sister I will not hesitate to kick your ass. Congratulations guys, all the best' he said raising his goblet, everyone else followed suit and chorused 'congratulations'.
Hermione stood up 'almost a year and a half ago, you both stood up at my wedding to give a speech, now it's my turn to return the favour. You two were destined to be together right from the start I could tell. I'm happy that you found each other and I wish you all the very best. If there are any two people in the world who deserve all the happiness in the world it's you two. Please join me in raising your goblets to the bride and groom, Harry and Ginny all the best. To Harry and Ginny' she said.
The rest of the room repeated the toast raising their goblets.
Mr Weasley stood up 'I also find it very surreal to stand up at my only daughters wedding and speak but here I am. To keep it short and simple congratulations and a very warm welcome to the family Harry' he raised his goblets towards them.
The cake was wheeled out after that, Harry and Ginny took the knife together and cut it. The vanilla strawberry ripple cake was glorious along with the forest fruits and cream.
Shortly after the desert dishes had been cleared Harry and Ginny took their first dance together as husband and wife. The whole night was full of laughing, dancing and talking and cameras flashed every few minuets.
A little bit before one in the morning Harry and Ginny went up to the honeymoon suite together, Harry carried her over the threshold. They awoke snuggled up together in the big bed to a bright and sunny day with smiles on their faces.
'Morning Mrs Potter' Harry said looking lovingly down on his wife; he fiddled with the new wedding band on his finger.
Ginny smiled back 'morning Mr Potter' she replied, he lent in to kiss her.
Their breakfast arrived along with the Daily Prophet. After the reception Harry and Ginny had given an interview and had photos done before going to their honeymoon suite. The headline read:
MR AND MRS POTTER: A FAIRYTALE ENDING!
Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley were married last night in a ceremony lasting half an hour. Mr Potter in a simple black suit with purple shirt and pocket-handkerchief, his new wife waring a stunning white dress, the bodice covered in fake diamonds, full skirted with a metre long train, her veil was layered and finger length.
The tears were flowing at the moving ceremony in which the couple exchanged their own vows. The new Mrs Potter is the envy of most young girls today after snagging the countries most eligible bachelor. The wizarding world wishes them all the best and hope that the newlyweds live happily ever after…
