Chapter 14:
Half an hour later Lupin and Ginny walked out of their room and into the kitchen where to there amazement, a large breakfast was waiting for them, Mrs Weasley looked at them and smiled weakly, " Have something to eat please you will both need your strength today." She said as she placed a plate of food in front of them.
Tonks and Harry arrived at the house a few minutes later to see Mr and Mrs Weasley, Lupin and Ginny all sat at the table eating in silence.
Mrs Weasley looked up and smiled, "there is plenty more on the stove, why don't you get some plates and join us."
Tonks and Harry did as suggested and sat at the table to eat, the silence continued until Ginny told Tonks of the morning plans.
"After breakfast we need to go and check on the dresses, I have put them away so that they could not be found by any males." She said looking at Lupin and Harry with a sarcastic grin on her face.
Tonks nodded with a smile. So Ginny continued.
" Bill and Charlie will be here in about an hour to start setting up the tables and things for the reception and for the wedding ceremony, dad could you please let them know that the ceremony is being held out the back under the beautiful gazebo that Harry made for us?"
"Sure Sweet heart," Mr Weasley replied smiling.
Once breakfast was finished, Harry and Lupin made there way to Grimuald place where they had put the wedding attire and sat down at the table.
"Want a drink?" Harry asked
"You bet, I think my insides are going to fall out if I don't, they're doing back flips." Lupin responded.
Harry smiled and conjured up some drinks, "I think they are called pre wedding jitters," Harry said as he passed the drink.
Mean while back at the house Ginny and Tonks were in Ginny's room with the dresses, Ginny started to tell Tonks about what had happened this morning.
"No wonder they were not really sociable this morning, it would have been very embarrassing for them to see that, especially under the circumstances." Tonks said smiling.
"You're telling me! I thought I was going to die when I heard my fathers voice, considering we were not all that dressed, in fact I think he would have seen more then anyone of us would have liked them to see," Ginny replied Giggling.
They went through the day's events and when they looked at the clock it was three in the afternoon. They started to dress and Tonks and Ginny then had their hair and make up done.
They could hear the guests start to arrive at around five o'clock; they finished the last few things and then had a glass of champagne to toast the night that would come.
Outside things were looking great, the gazebo was full of flowers, all different colours, and the candles had been put in place to be lighted just as the sun was going down, there was silver ribbon wrapped around some posts to create a isle between the guests chairs, and all the seats were nearly filled, Albus Dumbledore stood at the front under the gazebo, he would be performing the ceremony.
As soon as the remaining guests had seated themselves the men had arrived. Harry was in a tailored black and white suit, and Lupin was in the same, they both wore white roses on their suits and had large grins on their faces.
The sun started to set and music started to play, this had been the signal they had all been waiting for, the candles lit themselves, and Tonks started to make her way down the isle, she was a vision in pink, it was a long gown that had been made out of satin material, it was embroidered with small white diamantes in the centre of some blue roses, it had shoe string straps and was completed with silver high heals that also had small white diamantes. In her hands she held a bunch of roses, a mixture of white and red, white for purity and cleansing of the ceremony and the red to symbolise the eternal flame that is love.
When she reached the end of the isle she smiled at both Harry and Lupin before moving to stand in her spot.
It felt like forever to Lupin but was actually only a few seconds before Ginny and her father started down the isle, Lupins jaw dropped as he saw the most beautiful woman he had ever lay eyes on walking towards him.
Ginny was wearing a strapless white gown, which was also satin, it was also embroidered with light blue roses across her upper chest, she had slightly curled her hair and it flowed around her shoulders as she moved, on the top of her hair she wore a ring of flowers, from a distance they were a blur but when she got closer to the man she loved, he realised that they are also roses, red and white as in Tonks' bouquet, Ginny also held her own bouquet of flowers, she had roses and one single orchid amongst them.
She smiled as she walked closer to Lupin, when she finally arrived in front of him he held out his hand, she immediately took it had to stop herself from loosing control and kissing him passionately right then and their.
Her father went to join her mother and she handed her flowers to Tonks and let Lupin take both her hands in his.
The ceremony started and they had skimmed past the objections just in case anyone had a change of heart, Ginny and Lupin did not want anything to ruin there day or night, as it happened to be.
When it came to the vows Ginny and Lupin had written their own, Lupin was ushered to go first and so he took a deep breathe and looked into Ginny's eyes.
"When I first knew that I loved you I tried to deny it, but before long I knew that if we were truly meant to be that one day fate would bring us back together."
"I don't know how it is possible but I love you more and more with each passing day and with each breath I take, we have had a rocky road but we will always see our way through times like that together and as one. Ginny with all my heart and soul I asked you to marry me, and by some miracle you said you would, you complete me Ginny, if I have to move heaven and earth to be beside you always and forever you got it …"
Ginny felt a tear run down her cheek, and then looked deeply into Lupins eyes to say her vows.
"Remus, I don't need you to move heaven and earth because when I'm with you, I feel like I'm in heaven, as long as you are standing next to me and as long as I can hear your laugh or see your wonderful smile I have something that no one else will ever have, I have your heart beating next to mine, I have that one thing that makes me feel like not one thing could ever go wrong."
Ginny looked over at Tonks and waited as soft music started to play.
"I know I use music to relay my feelings a lot, but I have only one more song that tells you what you are to me and why no one else can see why we are stood in this spot today."
The music grew louder as the song started.
When you love someone
When you love someone - you'll do anything
You'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain
You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone
You'll deny the truth - believe a lie
There'll be times that you'll believe you can really fly
But you're lonely nights - have just begun
When you love someone
When you love someone - you'll feel it deep inside
And nothin else can ever change your mind
When you want someone - when you need someone
When you love someone...
When you love someone - you'll sacrifice
You'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice
You'd risk it all - no matter what may come
When you love someone
You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone
When the song finished Dumbledore asked for the rings, they were placed on the appropriate hands, and a ribbon was intertwined with Lupin and Ginny's ring hands.
Then in a flash the ribbon was gone and a few dozen butterflies flew around them.
There was gasps and awes from the guests, and smiles from Ginny and Lupin.
"Remus, and Ginny I now pronounce you husband and wife, Remus you may kiss the bride." Dumbledore said load enough for everyone to hear.
Lupin took Ginny by the waist and moved in for a soft kiss, but Ginny had other plans, she grabbed Lupin by the neck and kissed him passionately, she felt like she was on cloud 9.
When they finally broke apart, Dumbledore, Harry and Tonks all smiled broadly, then Dumbledore took their hands and looked into the crowd of guests, "It is my pleasure to for the first time; introduce you to Mr and Mrs R.J Lupin.
The crowd stood and applauded the newly married couple, and within a matter of minutes, the guests dispersed and they all walked over to the tables that had been placed around the edging of the yard for the reception.
They danced for hours and were congratulated one by one by their guests.
Luna and Neville came, and most of the order members, the teachers from Hogwarts, and of course Hagrid, other school friends of Ginny's and all the Weasley's, and then some of the people that Lupin had met in his many travels, the owners of many of the shops in diagon ally and Hogsmead had also shown up.
Once many of the guests had left, only the Weasley's, a few Teachers including Dumbledore, and McGonagall, Harry and Tonks, were still mingling, they began to clean up the mess and sit at only one large table to have a few last congratulatory drinks, to honour the night.
After another hour had passed the crowd was even smaller, now it was only Harry, Tonks, Lupin and Ginny that remained, they walked inside there house and got changed into more comfortable clothes, they then sat by the fire and shared their favourite moments of the day.
At midnight Ginny and Lupin bid their goodnights and got up from the fire.
Remus Picked Ginny up and led her to the bedroom, when he opened the door, Ginny saw the most romantic sight, the candles were lit and rose petals had been spread across the bed.
Soft music was playing and a box had been placed on the end of the bed.
Remus put Ginny down gently and closed the door behind them, Ginny ran over and asked what the box was.
"That Mrs Lupin is a wedding present from me to you," He said mischievously.
Ginny opened the box and pulled out a short black satin nightie and a sliver locket, when she opened the locket it had a photo of the two of them inside. She smiled at Remus and went to the cupboard, she pulled out a small box and handed it too him, "This Mr Lupin is for you!" Ginny said also looking very cheeky.
When Lupin opened the box he found a silver watch, it held a picture of them on the front and on the back it was engraved. My Heart Will Forever Belong To You. With All My Love, Ginny.
The put their gifts on and headed to the bed the light dimmed slightly, an hour or three went by and the sun started to rise, embracing each other passionately they lay watching, "I love you Remus." "I love you too Ginny." Were the last words heard in the room, as they slowly drifted to sleep.
