The next morning Hermione woke up before Charlie and smiled because they were still naked and wrapped up in each other from the night they'd had before. She knew that she'd never get tired of waking up on her lovers chest. Smiling as she thought of spending the rest of her life with Charlie, she started kissing his neck and when he woke up they picked up where they'd left off the night before.

They heard Ginny calling for them just after they'd finished and decided to get up and ready for the day so they could go and retrieve her parents so they could all start planning out their wedding together.

Just after noon, Charlie, Hermione, the Grangers, Molly, Arthur and Ginny were all sitting in the kitchen at the Burrow planning the wedding. The first thing to decide on was the date.

Hermione smiled down at Charlie as she sat on his lap with his arms wrapped around her waist, "what do you think babe? Early or late December?"

"Early," Charlie replied quickly, "but my birthday is the twelfth so we have to avoid that."

"What about the 10th?" Ginny suggested

Charlie and Hermione looked at each other and nodded, and then the date was set; Charlie and Hermione would be married December 10th. The families spent the rest of the day doing the other wedding plans, including making dates to go pick out dresses and tuxes, but overall the plans themselves didn't take very long considering that it would only be family in attendance. Ginny and Molly insisted on taking care of everything for the reception with Hermione's okay on colours and themes so that Charlie and Hermione could put everything together in Romania for the actual ceremony itself. Hermione knew it wouldn't take long and figured she'd just get the right decorations she needed and them cast a few spells to do everything quickly on the day.

Overall their trip went by very quickly and although they were still on a high of getting engaged, they were suddenly even more excited about getting the vows out of the way and becoming husband and wife.

After they went back to Romania the next day, time seemed to fly by. Suddenly it was October and Hermione went to the Burrow for a day without Charlie to go dress shopping with Ginny and to pick out the tuxes, so that when she returned Charlie could go the next day to get everything fitted and then all the planning for their wedding was finished.

When she arrived outside the Burrow she could hear many voices within and walking inside excited to see everyone. She was welcomed with hugs and was then immediately questioned about her pending nuptials.

"Okay Mione, you can be honest, are you nervous?" Ginny said, clearly trying her hardest to get the truth from Hermione.

Hermione smiled, seeing the looks of curiosity on Molly and Ginny's faces and replied honestly, "Actually I can't wait. I'm tired of waiting. I just want Charlie to be my husband already so we can do everything else we want to do together."

Molly smiled at her response, "everything else you want to do together? Does this mean I'll have more grandchildren soon?"

Hermione went a bit red, "Well, not immediately, but definitely eventually," she smiled as Molly grinned like a fool and decided to change the subject, "Gin are you ready to go? I figured that we could go and pick up my mom and that maybe Molly you could come too if you want to."

Molly was very happy to be included in helping select Hermione's wedding dress, and after they stopped to pick up Mrs. Granger, they all went to a wedding boutique in Diagon Alley.

After four dresses that other people had picked out that Hermione hadn't particularly liked, she saw one she loved and put it on right away. The second it was zipped up she new that it was the right dress. It wasn't too insane with elegance, or sexiness, but it was a perfect blend of the two that was appropriate for a cliff side wedding. The girls all got very giddy after seeing Hermione is such an amazing dress, and so they decided to go for ice cream as a celebration once they'd picked out the right tuxes and taken care of any other wedding planning they had to do.

That night Hermione went back to Romania and found Charlie had fallen asleep reading on their couch. She carefully took the book out of his hands and levitated him to bed and put his pajamas on. Seconds after she'd gotten into bed he rolled over and put his arm around her, acting on instinct as he was very obviously asleep. Hermione smiled at his response and relaxed in his arms, dreaming of their wedding day.

One night in late November, Charlie and Hermione were having hot chocolate by the bewitched fire in their tent and reading a book together curled up on a couch when Charlie opened up a relatively new conversation.

"How long do you want to wait after we get married to have kids?"

Hermione was a bit startled but hoped it wasn't obvious, "Wow you didn't even try to segue that one did you?" Charlie laughed a little and waited for her reply, "I never really thought about it to be honest. I mean, I know that I want lots of kids with you and I know that we're okay financially to have a lot of kids, but we also live in a tent right now on a dragon reserve, it's not exactly an ideal child environment."

Charlie got a bit upset at this, "you mean you want to leave the reserve to have kids? You want us to leave our jobs?" he didn't mean to sound so accusatory when he said it but that's how it came out.

Hermione sat up and looked at him, "Okay, you need to relax. I never said that. All I said was that having little kids on a dragon reserve and living in a tent didn't seem like a good idea. I was thinking we should buy a house or something in close enough range to apparate."

Charlie took a deep breath, "Sorry, I was just scared for a second, I didn't mean to snap."

"Its okay baby, I know how upset you'd be if you ever had to leave our dragons," Hermione kissed his cheek. Charlie sat in thought for a few moments and a realization dawned on him.

"It would kind of be nice to be closer to home when we have kids though wouldn't it? For them too, to grow up with their cousins and with family around all the time," Charlie said, sort of surprised at his own words.

"What are you suggesting Charlie?"

"Well maybe we should move within floo and apparition distance of the Burrow and to your parent's house once we start having kids."

"But that would mean leaving Romania," Hermione was surprised at Charlie's sudden change of tune.

"I know that we'll never be able to work with as many dragons or the same variety of dragons anywhere else, but maybe to be around family it would be worth it. I mean even if we take a pay cut we have way more than enough money saved to be very comfortable forever."

"Charlie do you seriously want to leave this place?" Hermione was definitely surprised to hear of Charlie's new attitude.

"It's not that I want to leave Mi, I really love it here, I just wish we were closer to our family."

Hermione nodded, she had to admit she felt the same way, she just didn't think Charlie did.

"How long do you want to wait until we have kids?"

"Mi, I want kids with you like yesterday," Charlie replied.

Hermione giggled, and then regained her seriousness, "Wow I guess this is actually going to be a big decision. I don't want you to resent me or our kids if we leave this place Charlie."

"Hermione you mean way more to me than dragons do and our kids will too. I've had twelve wonderful years here and I'm sure there are other jobs that we can do to do with dragons closer to home, maybe its just time to look into our options. We're getting married really soon, and that's going to be here as it should be, because this place brought us together, but we can always come back here and visit too."

Hermione sighed, "I kind of like just having this place all to ourselves. Romania feels like our own little universe, I'll miss that if we leave."

"Yeah I know what you mean, but just because we move closer to home it doesn't mean we have to go to England," Charlie replied.

Hermione's brain suddenly clicked in, "CHARLIE! THAT'S IT! We can go to Ireland! There's a relatively large dragon reserve there too! It's not as big as here, but it's bigger than the one outside of London and it'll be way closer to the family, and it will still be our own. Maybe we could even just buy it and make it bigger than it is now. We'd have the funds to do it."

Charlie smiled and was amazed at her ability to make every situation perfect. He then told her that he'd owl the reserve in Ireland in the morning to see if there were any openings available for a couple of fully trained dragon keepers, or if they place itself was available to buy. It would be strange not to be in Romania, but he knew that some things in life are truly more important.

Suddenly November ended and it was December 9th, the night before the wedding. The family was coming out on the day of the way by portkey, a few hours before sunset and then they'd all head back together once the wedding was over.

Hermione was a bit nervous for her parents to see the reserve, and hoped it wouldn't be too obvious that they basically played with dragons all the time. Charlie seemed to be able to tell that she was a bit nervous, but once she reassured him that it was entirely to do with her parents and that she hadn't doubted for one second that he was the man she was going to marry, he relaxed.

Once everyone arrived outside Charlie and Hermione's tent, Charlie took Molly, Ginny and Arthur through the woods to show them where to decorate while Hermione got ready. An hour or so later he returned and got ready himself and they all, except Hermione and her father, apparated (some side-along), back to the cliff.

The sun was going down and reflected a beautiful pinkish-orange glow off the water of the lake below. Charlie was standing at the alter with Bill to his right and turned around to see Ginny walking down the aisle holding flowers. Once she got to the front and took her place by what would eventually be Hermione left, a "POP" was heard and there stood Hermione, linked arms with her father at the end of the aisle. A tune was conjured by George as soon as Hermione and her father had arrived at the end of the aisle, and they walked down the aisle slowly towards the alter.

Charlie's stomach dropped, Hermione looked absolutely astounding. Bill whispered in his ear that his mouth looks better closed but he barely pulled it together by the time Hermione had arrived at the alter and in front of him. He took her hand in his and they stood in front of all their loved ones, completely lost in each other's eyes.

As they said their vows, a few tears of joy were heard through out the small audience, and Hermione had a single tear running down her cheek. Charlie wiped it away gently with his thumb, ignoring the tears starting to form in his own eyes and remained totally entranced by his beautiful bride.

The vows were over quickly and he was very excited to kiss the bride. He moved towards her and before he kissed her he put his hand on his face and whispered so no one else could hear, "You look more gorgeous today than ever before."

Hermione smiled and they sealed their vows while their family cheered for them. After a few more minutes of congratulations the wedding party took a portkey back to the Burrow where a celebration was waiting.

When Charlie and Hermione arrived in the backyard of the Burrow the entire place was decorated beautifully with a large sign saying "Congratulations Charlie and Hermione" floating in the air through the crowd with confetti dazzling around it.

There was laughter and cheer as the wedding reception began and Charlie and Hermione were called to the dance floor for their first dance as a married couple. Charlie took Hermione's hand and led her to the floor as the song "If We Kissed" came on.

What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away?
Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust,
Spontaneously combust…

Hermione smiled at the song choice, "Did you pick this song for a reason Mr. Weasley?"

"You know I did, Mrs. Weasley," Charlie replied and kissed her softly, "This is the song we danced to the night I knew for sure that you were the one for me Mi."

"God you're perfect," Hermione giggled a little and kissed him again, then placed her head gently on his chest.

"So I got a letter back from Ireland a few days ago…"

This got Hermione's attention, "And?"

"And they have some positions available that I told them we'd take, and the owner and current boss is retiring in a few years so we could probably buy it then."

Hermione smiled and kissed him, "Does anyone else know?"

"Well I told John because he'll be in charge in Romania now, and the person I bought a huge piece of land in Ireland from yesterday knows," Charlie said casually, loving keeping Hermione guessing.

"A piece of land?" Hermione questioned.

"Well I thought we could build a house there. It's overlooking some gorgeous cliffs onto the ocean, you're going to love it," he said with a grin.

Hermione basically jumped into his arms and he spun her around.

"Oh I guess I should be more careful," Hermione said mischievously.

Charlie raised his eyebrows, "and why is that?"

"Well I figured we could start trying for that big family of ours tonight and I'd hate for anything to happen to me before that."

Charlie smiled, "You know that you've made me basically the happiest man on the planet right?"

"Well not yet, but maybe after you see what I bought to wear tonight you will be," Hermione winked at him and he grinned.

The couple danced for a few more songs before sitting down with their family to share the news of moving closer. Everyone was ecstatic, and it was decided that the second they get back from their honeymoon that they would have to start on that house right away.

As the night wore on they all began to get tired and Charlie and Hermione decided to have a last dance before they took off for the night. On the dance floor, Charlie and Hermione locked eyes and knew they were both thinking the same thing; thank god sometimes life doesn't turn out how you plan.
