Hermione stood in her best girlfriend's bedroom, looking a mirror.
This is like déjà vu... she thought.
She was wearing an incredibly elegant white wedding gown; it was Victorian age looking and it was made entirely of a very luxurious silk. She wore a bolero jacket with three quarter length sleeves (she had specifically requested it that way, as platform nine and three quarters is what lead her to Ron and the entire wizarding world). Without the bolero jacket it was a sleeveless dress and went touched the floor. Hermione didn't want a train, as she thought they were impractical. Metallic rhinestones lined the bodice of the dress and collar and cuffs of the jacket. When Hermione saw it, it became the dress. It became her dress.i
Her makeup was all very natural, very neutral. Her hair was curled and held together with so much hairspray (magically enforced of course, for especially hard to hold hair) that she doubted it would ever by bushy again. Her nails had lovely French tips and her hands had been messaged (an idea Hermione thought was ridiculous but Ginny and Mrs. Weasley insisted) to the point where like looked like they could belong to a model out of Vogue.
The bridesmaids wore very plain, yet elegant dresses. They all had a different color; sky blue for Ginny, Purple for Mary (a friend from work,) and rose for a dear cousin of hers. Hermione had chosen these colors according to what she thought suited those best, the rose was going to go to Ginny, but it clashed with her hair.
"It's time, love" Hermione's father said to her. Her mother broke out in tears.
"Mum! Are you well?" Hermione said bewilderedly to her mother.
"I'm f-fine dear…" her mother said, "just h-happy…" Ginny and Hermione exchanged a look which was risky; they didn't want to burst out in laughter. Once everyone had gained control Ginny looked at Hermione and said,
"You look beautiful." A chorus of agreement followed.
They bridal party marched downstairs and the music started to play. The music started to play and the bridesmaids went down the aisle. When her time came, Hermione's father looked at her and asked her if she was ready. She shook her head.
They began the slow procession down the aisle, all eyes upon the gorgeous girl in white. Hermione blushed, and then looked up at the beautiful smiling redhead that was waiting at the end of the long walk. Waiting for her. Hermione beamed, and Ron smiled back.
Ron and Hermione hardly heard their vows; they were too busy looking at each other. But the priest kept it simple, he said the traditional vows but before that he read a passage of scripture and gave a little history on Ron and Hermione. He talked about the first time they had seen each other, their petty fights through the years, and the things that made them stronger as a couple. When Ron was told to, "kiss the bride" he grabbed Hermione and pulled her down into an old-fashioned-movie kiss. The crowd laughed and cheered and Hermione came out of it flushed.
After the ceremony the yard of the burrow was – for the third time- transferred into a beautiful wedding reception area. The newlyweds were pulled into hugs by family and friends, then they went to say hello to everyone they had not been embraced by. When the time came for the first dance, they were breathless. But somehow they managed to have a tiny conversation.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" Ron whispered into Hermione's ear.
"Yes, I am." Hermione smiled, "are you?"
"Now I am. Now that it's just you and I, I was getting annoyed at having to talk to everyone. "
Hermione smiled and kissed him, which set off a frenzy of camera flashes.
"I am a bit disappointed you would put on a garter. Ginny did it." Ron said, Hermione gave him a stern look and he said apologetically,
"But I know what you said…" they held each other for a few more minutes, and were both sad when the song ended. Ron danced with his mother and Hermione danced with her father. Hermione danced with the Weasley and Ron danced with the Grangers. Everyone danced with everyone and when Ron and Hermione finally made it back into each other's arms they were seriously exhausted.
"Ugh, I exhausted. But I love this. I absolutely love this." Hermione laughed. Ron laughed and spun Hermione around and he kissed her on the forehead.
"It's strange, to think of all that has gone on in the past seven months and here we are. I mean, Harry had a legal problem, and a 'getting killed' thing for the first time in years. We, er…" Hermione blushed but Ron smiled at the memory (it hadn't happened since, so he was looking forward to later this evening). "And now we're married! It just seems like a lot…"
So the night went on. Hermione threw the bouquet (Luna Lovegood caught it), Ron and Hermione cut the cake, nothing went wrong. It was the wedding that Hermione had wanted, totally perfect.
Finally it was time to leave to go to the honeymoon. Ginny had chosen a very honeymoonish yellow dress for Hermione to wear on the flight (It was Ron's first time on an airliner, and he was getting jittery). Her hair was still curly as could be when the couple apperated away with rice being thrown at them.
Hermione guided Ron thought the airport and four hours later they were sitting in their terminal. The plan was to go to Greece, Rome, then down to Italy and back up to France. They would spend a week in each so about a month away from home.
The airplane pulled into the gate and Hermione grabbed Ron's hand. He gave her a nervous look and muttered something about not having much faith in muggle inventions. This made Hermione laugh, which reminded her of one of the reasons she had fallen in love with him.
They got into their seats on the airport and Ron started to squeeze Hermione's hand hard.
"Ron, I'm here. I'm not going to leave you, you'll be fine." She said.
"I know love," Ron smiled, "that's what's gotten us this far. And I will never leave you, I love you."
Hermione blushed and smiled,
"I love you too."
