86. Marriage
"I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, take you, Ginerva Molly Weasley, to be my friend, my lover, the mother of my children and my wife. I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity."
Draco took the ring from Blaise, his best man giving him a small wink, and slid the delicate band onto Ginny's finger. The gold ring was thin, perfect, with the simple diamond surrounded by a cluster of rubies. It was small, elegant, and perfectly Ginny.
"I, Ginerva Molly Weasley, take you, Draco Lucius Malfoy, to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."
The ring fit perfectly on Draco's finger as she slid it on, glowing with absolute happiness as she looked up into the loving grey eyes of her new husband. If anyone cared to look, inside the band were five simple words;
I'll always wait for you.
