It's Nice To Have A Friend

35) A Dive Into The Deep End

The four friends gathered together in the chapel, looking at the wonderful wives to be, who couldn't keep their eyes of one another. Everything about their wedding was plain and simple, they didn't even care on what kind of location they'd promise their lives to one another, as long as they had each other.

So, they had decided to go to Las Vegas, to do the classic elope thing, except for the fact that it wasn't just them running away together, they had their best friends with them and wore the most stunning wedding dresses. They were never ones for traditions anyway, so even a chapel wedding in Las Vegas needed their own signature.

Alice leant a little closer to FP and felt him place his hand above hers before they locked eyes and shared a sweet intimate moment, where looks said more than a thousand words ever could. Poppy gazed at Fred and smiled brightly when he met her gaze, smirking softly as he felt her eyes burning on his face.

"Hermione, you were the girl I always watched in class, the one I couldn't have, the one that would never be mine. You made time stand still every time you passed by, and I could only dream of ever being yours."

"You always gazed back at me, but I thought you just liked me as a friend, or simply didn't know what else to do. But then I remember the day we got together, where you finally revealed to love me back."

"It was almost a little more than a year ago. You saw something was clearly wrong, and you sat next to me. We both knew what it meant, but we couldn't say it out loud."

"You asked me why I was crying, and I told you that I was going to break up with someone that meant so much to me. You asked me why, and I finally had to guts to tell you that I couldn't ignore how in love I was with you."

"Instead of running away, you told me you loved me too." Mary smiled brightly, and Hermione felt her heart jump.

"I expected everything, but that." She chuckled. So much could change in such a short time and it made her wonder how she ever could have been so nervous.

"And you make me happier than I ever thought I could be."

"I fell in love with you at seventeen, and now I finally get to call you mine, forever." Mary squeezed her hand, telling her that it was her turn.

"Mary, my sweet, sweet, Mary. I love how you stand up for what is right, I love you care for our friends, I love how you always make my favorite dinner to cheer me up, and I just love who you are, with every piece of my heart."

"Every single day I went to school, wishing I knew how to tell you that I was so crazy in love with you, but nothing was more frightening than that. You were unreachable, and I couldn't even dare to dream to be with you." Hermione smiled sadly. Things had never been easy for them, but it has all been worth the struggle if it meant ending up here today.

"You know that it hasn't been easy for me to accept myself for who I am, but as soon as you told me you loved me all of that faded away. You are who I want, every single day, for the rest of my life. Loving you is the best part of me."

The vows between the two women were so beautiful, that the four friends who were watching couldn't help but wipe their tears while looking at their own significant other, whether they were together or not. At this moment both Poppy and Fred, and FP and Alice knew what it meant.

They rushed out of the chapel with Poppy and Alice throwing rice over the newlyweds, and FP whistling on his fingers as he looked at his best friends leaving hand in hand with their wedding bouquet in hand.

"They are going to be the mothers of my baby! Look how gorgeous these wives are!" Fred slung his arms around them and grinned from ear to ear, being so insanely proud of their journey and where they were today.
