A/N: MAJOR FLUFF ALERT! You have been warned.

So here it is, the long awaited wedding chapter. I spent a fair amount of time doing research as to get certain parts just right for this chapter. The wedding attire has been inspired by that on the Debenhams website. The ceremony itself was a mixture of both the Church of England's service and the UK's civil ceremony.

There is a moment during the ceremony that was inspired by Roses are Red by Pottermum.

Otherwise, please enjoy this chapter. Only 5 more to go now.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

The months preceding the day of the wedding had been busy for the young couple with not only their wedding to plan but also in terms of their careers. Harry was continuing to rise through the ranks of the Aurors, his training was nearly complete and he was becoming more involved in the cases assigned to the department. Much needed changes were also being made to the department through Harry and Ron's ideas, which were quickly being implemented. Ginny had been promoted from the reserves into the first team and was quickly making a name for herself as the newest starting Chaser for the Holyhead Harpies.

On top of all that, the family had celebrated the wedding of Percy and Audrey in December, Teddy's 2nd Birthday in April and had welcomed baby Victoire into the world on the 2nd anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. The family was beginning to expand and no one could have been happier than Molly.

As dawn broke on a warm June morning, no one was able to deny that it was looking like it would be the perfect day for a wedding. Preparations were in place for a simple, small and private ceremony, with a large and fun reception and party afterwards. Both were to be held at The Burrow as originally planned.

Following the muggle tradition, Harry and Ginny had spent the night apart with Harry, Neville and the Weasley men having stayed at Potter Cottage and with Ginny, Molly, Hermione, Luna, Fleur with baby Victoire, Andromeda with Teddy, Angelina and Audrey having all remained at The Burrow.

With the sun now just above the horizon, The Burrow was full of activity as the final preparations for the wedding began.

Harry took one last look at himself in the full length mirror. He was happy with the choice he and Ginny had made for his wedding attire, despite Molly's protests. Rather than choosing dress robes, they had decided upon muggle attire instead, settling on something simple and relaxed.

They had chosen a light grey three-piece suit with a crisp white shirt but with no tie and the top couple buttons left open. Ron and Neville had the same style but in a slightly darker grey. All the men were to wear a white Calla Lily for their buttonholes. Harry couldn't help but smile as he remembered a similar suit also being custom-made for Teddy. He couldn't wait to see how cute his godson would look and to see how long it would take him to get it dirty.

Harry was disturbed from his thoughts from a knock on his bedroom door. Checking himself one last time, he sighed at the hopeless case his hair was before exiting their walk in closet.

"Come in," he called out.

Ron popped his head around the door and flashed his best mate a smile before coming fully into the bedroom along with Neville.

"Looking good, mate," Ron said cheerily.

"You two look good too," Harry replied.

"Definitely more comfortable than dress robes," Neville said to their amusement.

"I take it that it's time to go?" Harry asked as he put on his shoes.

"If you want to make a trip to the graveyard, then yes," Ron told his best mate. "Dad, Bill, Charlie, Percy and George have headed to The Burrow already, so by the time we arrive, we should be ready to start the ceremony."

Harry smiled widely. "I can't believe I am getting married today!"

Ron laughed as Neville responded," Let's go and get you married then!"

After leaving some last minute instructions for Kreacher, the three friends left the house and walked into Godric's Hollow. Many villagers were out and about and for those who had gotten to know Harry and Ginny in the time since they had moved there, they passed on their best wishes to Harry for his wedding.

"Do you two mind waiting here while I visit their graves?" Harry asked as they reached the kissing gate that led to the graveyard.

"No problem, mate," Ron replied with an understanding look in his eyes.

"Here," Neville said as he held out a bouquet of While Calla Lilies he had been carrying. "I had these additionally made up for you to place on your parents' graves."

"Thanks, Nev," Harry responded with sincerity as he took the flowers and headed into the graveyard.

Harry paused as he reached the intended graves and drunk in the sight of his parents' names. He wished with his whole heart that they could have been here to witness his wedding to the love of his life, but he knew they were watching from wherever they were.

As he placed the flowers down on their graves, he realised that he didn't need to speak to them as he had planned to. They already knew he was getting married and they were probably celebrating with all their friends and family. That thought brought a smile to his face as an image of his father, his godfather and Remus popped into his head of them pulling a prank. He laughed softly at the idea as he imagined Fred joining in with them and his mum telling them all off.

Shaking the thoughts from his head, he looked at his parents' graves one last time.

"I love you," he said quietly before walking away and back to Ron and Neville.

Neither of them said a word to Harry as he reached them. Instead, they all walked to a safe place before apparating to The Burrow.

Ginny took a deep breath and flashed Hermione and Luna a smile before she turned to finally take a look at herself in the mirror. She gasped out in surprise when she saw how she looked. She couldn't believe that it was her. She felt and looked like a princess and could only hope Harry would love it also.

The dress she had chosen was Grecian styled and provided a relaxed fit and look. It was simple and elegant, just as she had wanted. The tasteful V neckline and the high waistline helped to accentuate her curves in a very subtle way. The ivory gown was completed by the use of ribbon for the waistband. She had chosen an emerald green that was a near match to the colour of Harry's eyes and that would complement the light grey suit he would be wearing.

She had chosen not to wear any of her jewellery, bar her engagement ring and the tiara that her Aunt Muriel had kindly lent her. She had chosen a natural look for her make-up and had chosen to leave her hair mainly down in loose curls, just how Harry liked it best, with only enough of it pulled back to keep it off her face.

Her entire look was simple, relaxed and elegant. It was exactly what she had wanted for their wedding.

Ginny turned back to look at Hermione and Luna, who were dressed similarly, except their dresses had halter necks and were of a similar grey to the groomsmen suits.

"Oh Ginny," Hermione cried. "Harry will probably faint when he sees you. You look so beautiful."

"Yes, you do," Luna said in agreement. "I believe your mother is now waiting to speak to you before your father comes to walk you to Harry."

Luna swept out of the room to fetch Ginny's mum, not noticing the amusement on the other two witches' faces.

"I should leave you too," Hermione said to Ginny as she gave the bride a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you down there."

Ginny turned back to the mirror once again and smiled. She still couldn't believe she was getting married today and to Harry of all people. She had dreamed of marrying the Boy Who Lived as a little girl, but the man she was marrying was so much more than that and so much better. He was just Harry, her Harry. The reality was definitely much better than the dream.

"Oh Ginny dear," her mum's voice came from behind. "You look so beautiful."

Ginny turned to face her mum and saw the tears streaming down her mum's face.

"I can't believe my baby is getting married."

"Mum, don't cry," Ginny softly said as she reached for her mum's hands and took them in hers. "You are gaining a son today."

"Harry's always been my son," Molly answered. "Has been since he walked into our home for the first time. I just can't believe my babies are getting married. I'm so happy for the both of you. Now the photographer wants some photos before you come downstairs."

Molly composed herself and cleaned up her face before calling in the photographer.

Harry stood looking at the set up for the ceremony. After many discussions of how they would accomplish his request of no aisle, they had finally decided how they would approach it. Keeping the guest list for the actual ceremony to the bare minimum had been the deciding factor.

Only the Weasleys and their partners, baby Victoire, Aunt Muriel, Andromeda and Teddy, Kingsley, Neville, Luna, Professor McGonagall and Hagrid would be present, with everyone else being invited to join them at the reception. This allowed them to arrange the chairs in a semi-circle around the arch of Calla Lilies and Roses that they were to be married under. Seven of the chairs in the front row had been left empty to represent those who were no longer with them; Lily, James, Sirius, Dumbledore, Fred, Remus and Tonks.

Overall they felt they had achieved their much desired simple and intimate ceremony. Even Molly was pleased.

"Dada!"

Harry turned to see his excitable godson toddling out of the house as he held on tightly to his grandmother's hand and was followed by Molly.

"Mama pwetty!" Teddy declared as Harry scooped him up into his arms.

"Is she now?" Harry asked no longer uncomfortable by the fact his godson called him Dada and Ginny Mama.

Teddy nodded enthusiastically as Harry took the flowers from Molly that he and Teddy were to place on the chairs as the ceremony began. Both Molly and Andi gave Harry and Teddy a kiss on the cheek before making their way to join everyone else who was now seated.

"You ready to help me, kiddo?" Harry asked as he settled Teddy back onto his feet and took his hand firmly in his own. With a nod and a wide smile from the toddler, Harry looked to Kingsley who gave him a nod in confirmation that he was ready to begin before looking back to the house where he could see Ron giving him the thumbs up that the bridal party were ready to start.

Harry and Teddy calmly walked up behind the semi-circle of chairs before veering off to the right to walk round to the front. Before taking his place by Kingsley, Harry placed one long stemmed Calla Lily on each of the chairs for his parents, Sirius and Dumbledore and then helped Teddy place one for each of his parents. Once Teddy was settled with Andi, Harry took his place at the front under the arch of flowers.

A minute later, Ron and Hermione followed Harry's route, coming to stand next to him at the front. Harry smiled as he watched them hoping it wasn't long before Ron plucked up the courage to propose to Hermione.

Neville and Luna followed next, but instead veered off to the left following the path that would bring them to the bride's side. Harry was happy Ginny had chosen them to stand up for her. They had been her support system through their year apart which made Harry grateful for their friendship.

The music that had been gently playing in the background changed and increased in volume. Harry understanding what this meant took a deep breath before looking towards the house where his gaze settled on his bride who was being accompanied by her father.

Harry's breath hitched as he saw a vision of absolute beauty walk towards him. She had kept her dress simple and relaxed like she had told him she wanted to and all Harry could think was that it accentuated her beauty even further. And as he locked eyes with her, he could see the love she held for him shining brightly in her eyes and if it was possible, then it made her look even more beautiful. Any nerves he may have been feeling just melted away with one look at the love of his life.

As Ginny locked eyes with Harry, she felt like the whole world had melted down to just the two of them. She allowed her father to guide her round to the left of the chairs as she kept her eyes on Harry, only looking away when she placed a long stemmed Calla Lily on a chair for Fred. Finally she reached the front and turned to kiss her father' cheek before he placed her hand in Harry's before moving away to take his seat.

Harry reached over and kissed Ginny's cheek. "You look beautiful."

Ginny blushed in response as the couple turned to face Kingsley who had agreed to perform the bonding.

"Family and friends," Kingsley began. "I welcome you all here today to celebrate the joining of these two faithful souls, Harry and Ginny. May I ask who presents this woman to be bonded to this man?"

"I do," came a chorus of six voices.

Ginny and Harry turned to see that not only Arthur, but all five of Ginny's brothers had stood to speak, much to everyone's amusement. The bride and groom smiled widely at the acceptance they felt from Ginny's brothers. While Harry had long felt part of the Weasley family, he felt that this gesture had sealed it for him.

"Before we begin the ceremony," Kingsley began again once the laughter had calmed down. "Harry and Ginny have asked that we take a minute to remember all those who are no longer with us. They are represented individually by the chairs on which a Calla Lily has been laid."

Every adult bowed their heads as they remembered Lily, James, Sirius, Dumbledore, Fred, Remus and Tonks, the seven people who would have been present had they not given their lives for this moment to be possible.

"It is an absolute honour and privilege for me to be asked to bond these two faithful souls for life. I have watched them both grow as individuals and as a couple. I have watched as they fought a war to ensure a future of love and happiness for those they love, including for each other. Now, in front of those they love and care for the most, they will declare their love for one another as they take the next step in the lives together and become bonded for life."

Harry and Ginny turned to face each other, with Luna taking hold of Ginny's bouquet, and joined hands.

"Do you, Harry James, take Ginevra Molly to be you wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honour and protect her and be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"

"I will," Harry declared clearly as he smiled widely for all to see.

"Do you, Ginevra Molly, take Harry James to be your husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honour and protect him and be faithful to him for as long as you both shall live?"

"I will," Ginny clearly stated as she smiled at Harry.

"Harry and Ginny have chosen to speak their own vows for their wedding. Harry, your vows if you will."

Harry looked deep into Ginny's brown eyes and saw all the love she held for him there. Taking a deep breath, he allowed himself to see his bride and only his bride as he began to speak.

"Ginny, whatever promise I make to you now, I doubt it would be enough, but I will try my best. I fell in love with you at one of the worst times in my life and as much as I tried to fight it, it was exactly what I needed in my life at the time. In you, I found a reason to see past the end of the war in a way I had never been able to do so before. You became my reason to survive, you became the person I wanted to fight for and the person I knew I would willingly give my own life for. I have already been able to love you from this life to the next and I was then given the chance to come back and love you for an entire lifetime. So that is what I promise you, to love you for a lifetime and into the next great adventure."

Neither the bride, nor the groom saw the tears on the face on every adult present as each person understood the full force of the words that Harry had said as his vows. If it hadn't been clear before that Ginny had been Harry's reason for finishing the war and willingly sacrificing his life, then it was now.

Ginny smiled through the tears as she was reminded of how she was Harry's last thought as Voldemort had thrown the killing curse at him. She fought to get her emotions under control so she could clearly say her own vows, but it was not easy to do after such beautiful words from Harry.

"Ginny, your vows if you will."

Ginny took a deep breath to clear her nerves and kept her eyes firmly locked on Harry's.

"Harry, every day it still amazes me that you fell in love with me. I feel like I have loved you through more than one lifetime, whether it was when I had that horrible, debilitating crush on the Boy Who Lived or when we had those few wonderful weeks together at the end of my fifth year. But it is the man I stand before now that I love the most. You may not have been given as much love as you deserved growing up, and yet somehow you have this astounding amount of love to give and I want to be able to return it in the way that you always give it so freely. So that is what I promise, to love you in the way you deserve to be loved so you never go without being loved ever again."

Harry smiled at Ginny through his own tears that were now running unabashedly down his face. He knew he had her to thank for helping him to understand just how amazing love could be and for making him understand that he deserved to be loved in the way that she loved him despite what his relatives had told him.

"If I can now have the rings you have chosen to exchange please," Kingsley asked having discreetly composed himself.

Ron and Luna walked over to Teddy and helped him carry a little cushion over to Kingsley on which the rings were currently being held. They both knelt down next to the toddler so he would remain in place until his part was done.

"Harry, if you would take the ring you have chosen for Ginny and place it on her fourth finger of her left hand and repeat after me," Kingsley asked once Teddy was still.

Harry did as he was asked and repeated the words he was supplied by Kingsley.

"Ginny, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, trust and commitment to you. As my best friend, my soul mate and the one that I love above all others, I promise to love, trust and respect you for ever more."

"Ginny, if you would take the ring you have chosen for Harry and place it on his fourth finger of his left hand and repeat after me," Kingsley continued.

Ginny did as she was asked and repeated the words she was supplied.

"Harry, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, trust and commitment to you. As my best friend, my soul mate and the one that I love above all others, I promise to love, trust and respect you for ever more."

The couple smiled widely at each other, both knowing the next set of words would make it all official.

"It is then, with my absolute delight, to declare you bonded for life. Harry, you may kiss your bride."

Harry hadn't needed the words from Kingsley to know that as he quickly pulled Ginny into his arms and kissed her to the cheers and catcalls of their family and friends. As they shared their first kiss as husband and wife, Kingsley raised his wand over their heads causing a shower of silver and gold stars to fall upon them before spiralling around their entwined bodies.

As they pulled apart with wide smiles, they turned to face their family and friends as Kingsley announced,

"It is my great honour that I present to you, Mr and Mrs Harry Potter!"
