Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !
You'd better answer quicker than the last time, I really can't wait to read what's coming next !
(Not that I blame you, but the other times, it was way more bearable than this one !)

Anyway, Cheers ! Chiiz.

Amazing! Wohooo! Draco and Harry together!
Question: Did they just decided to be boyfriends during the wedding or before?
I love this! Good job!

I swear the HP fandom is the only one who says 'please' before' review in most cases. :P Thanks for being polite! Nice of you to thank your beta, too. :)

I like how you've set the date in June, the middle of the year, when it's more likely to be bright and sunny- really sets the happy atmosphere for the story, I think. :)

I love how you've captured the celebratory and traditional side of the ceremony, too. It really captures that special, wedding-like atmosphere, that life-changing, wonderful sort of feeling, the feeling that two people happily in love are going to become even closer. :) I like how you describe the part with the mandap and the man throwing holy water into a fire, too. :) Seems you've done a bit of research into wedding traditions in other cultures though, which is nice. Adds to the realism. :) It's interesting to see other cultures represented in fanfic, since I don't see that too often. :)

Aww, that part was sad with Harry and Ginny's breakup. It's made even sadder considering he's at Parvati's wedding watching as she gets married, and then his relationship has just ended. :( It's like one gain, and one loss, if you get what I mean.

I really like the way you described the horse's beauty, and you didn't even need that much description for it. Nice and succinct. :) I like how you've made it seem so beautiful and grand, like Neville really put an effort in. :) The grammar is brilliant, too. :) I also like how Parvati isn't completely absorbed in her boyfriend, too, and how she still she still wants to make sure her parents are okay with the wedding, as well as the happy couple. :)

I love the sense of freedom in the dance, like this wedding is one moment where they can just relax, not worry about what others think of them, and they can just have some fun. I love that atmosphere. :) I like the priest's loud chants, too, like he's full of enthusiasm about the wedding. :D I like how you've kept Draco's apparent distance, too, like all he's going to do is to nod and look away and not look back. :P

I quite like Harry's smirk to Draco- it seems quite cheeky, actually. I'm wondering if Draco asking about the breakup was to see if Harry was free for him, though, considering he asked him quite quickly, and I guessed by an accidental glance at the last line that they shared a moment. :)

I quite like that Harry just doesn't really care what others think of him when he's kissing Draco, as if he's just so caught up in the kiss that he only really just notices that anyone's even looking at him. XD Parvati's comment at the end made me chuckle! :3 I like that Harry and Draco's romantic actions are quite quick, as if Harry really, REALLY wants Draco badly. :P

This was a pretty good story! I enjoyed reading this one. :D

Here is my critique and suggestions for this piece. If you would like me to clarify any points I make in this section, please feel free to ask me to do so and I gladly will. :)

. (It was a beautiful day for an outdoors wedding.) I personally think that the wording of this sentence would flow better if you swap 'outdoors' and 'wedding', remembering to change 'an' to 'a' if you choose to do so. :)
[ It was a beautiful day for a wedding outdoors.]

. (Four pillars guarded the holy ground and a priest sat on the floor chanting and occasionally tossing holy water into the fire that was floating on a pedestal in the middle of the field.) There appears to be a lack of pauses in this sentence, so adding some pauses, like full stops and commas, would work a little better here. :)

[ Four pillars guarded the holy ground. A priest sat on the floor, chanting, occasionally tossing holy water into the fire that floated on a pedestal in the middle of the field. ]

. I personally found Harry's kiss with Draco to be a bit too sudden, since he didn't really appear until the end, and I felt that it could have been foreshadowed some more that Harry showed earlier interest in Draco. :) I think , maybe you could make Ginny make a comment about Draco early in the story, as if she becomes suspicious, hinting at the fact that Harry may have shown romantic interest in Draco before the events of this story-or maybe Harry keeps looking at him whilst they're dancing- or maybe even attempts to dance with Draco. :)

However, to justify, if your intention was to make it look as if Harry is sort of using him just to have someone to go out with after losing Ginny, or if he's just using him to get back at Ginny, then I would suggest keeping it the same way as it is now. :)

I love your succinct descriptive skills and your way of setting the atmosphere, and your characterisation is also lovely. :) Keep up the good work! :D

Exiting! I'm really happy with the way this came out; the flow of it or whatever. I like it.
