Milestone: The Wedding

Harry Potter was stood at the front of the church pacing back and forth, today was the day that he would finally be married to Daphne, after over a year of planning the day had finally come. Only their close friends and family were invited as they wanted their wedding to be private.

Various newspapers and magazines had offered them hundreds of thousands of galleons for exclusive access to the wedding, they declined their offers, but did allow one photo of the both of them to be sold to the highest bidder, with the money going towards charities helping to deal with the after-effects of the war.

"Calm down mate" said Ron, his best man, with a small laugh, "Its not like Daphne's going to leave you at the alter, she loves you" he said with smile.

"I know that Ron" he said as he stopped pacing, "I'm just nervous, I mean, I'm getting married" he said with a huge grin on his face.

The start of music playing announced that the bride was to come in at any moment. Harry and Ron got in position at the end of the aisle. Daphne soon began her walk down the aisle in the arm of her father, a tall gentleman with dark grey hair. Daphne's dress was pure white, with small crystals decorating it. The dress hugged her body perfectly, showing her curves. This had been the first time that Harry had seen it.

Behind Daphne was Daphne's younger sister, the maid-of-honour, Astoria, along with two of Daphne's friend's from school, Tracey Davis and Rachel Pewter who were bridesmaid's with Hermione and Ginny. Hermione was carrying Teddy, Harry's godson, who was pageboy in her arms.

Harry smiled as he watched them walk closer towards him. Stopping in front of him, looked over Daphne closer, she was just as beautiful as always. Shaking her fathers he turned to the priest who would marry them and gave a small nod before facing Daphne.

The priest cleared his throat before starting "Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here to day to celebrate the wedding of Harry James Potter and Daphne Isobel Greengrass" he continued, saying how everyone present has played a part in shaping their lives and will play a part in their future.

"The couple have written their own wedding vow" said the priest before letting Harry start with his.

Harry swallowed nervously before starting. "Daphne Isobel Greengrass, from the moment I first met you I knew that there was something special about you. You have been a good friend, girl friend and fiancé. You have shown complete loyalty to me, even if it meant being against others in your own house. You have been there for me over the last 5 years and I know that you will be there for me for the rest of my life. I love you more than anyone else in the world and it would be an honour to have you as my wife"

Daphne remained silent for a moment, a small tear coming down her cheek before she began. "Harry James Potter, we have been through so much in the past few years. More than most couples ever will in their whole lives. It has made us stronger as a couple and brought us closer together. I know that you feel the same way. I love you more than anything and would love the honour of being your wife"

The whole room was silent for a moment before the minister spoke again, "By the power vested in me, by the ministry of magic, I know pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride". Harry didn't have to wait to be told a second time before he leant in for their first kiss as a married couple. It somehow felt different now, than it did before.

The two of them made their way down the aisle arm in arm as they took their first steps together as a married couple. As they were walking past people raised their wands and sent a shower of multicoloured sparks over them, as they walked past.

The two of them were happy to finally begin their the rest of their lives together. They knew that they would have many more years of happiness ahead of them and were looking forward to what the future will ring for them.
