࿔ The Wedding (Part 2) ༄

12:30
≪ Regulus ≫

Sirius is grinning madly at Regulus as they take their spots at the front. It is a very, very small gathering with only Fleamont and James there so far. Then there are three small cracks and Euphemia, Remus and Lily enter the marquee.

Mrs Potter makes her way to her husband while Remus smiles at Sirius and takes his seat, next to James, with an empty chair on James's other side for Lily. Regulus grins at them all before glancing at Sirius and giving him a nod as he turns around. He hears the sound of Apparation and he knows that Danica has arrived with Jackson. Regulus takes a deep breath.

≪ Danica ≫

Jackson offers his arm to Danica and she smiles up at him, taking it gratefully.

"He's gonna be so happy," Jackson whispers as he leads Danica to the opening of the marquee.

It has been decorated beautifully. Regulus, Sirius, James and Fleamont have done everything that she asked and more. Gorgeous roses: pale pink, white and blue, line the opening. It is more of a teepee style and fairy lights line the walls, leading up to the ceiling which is being kept up by a wooden pole in the centre. Six chairs are facing the front all but two have someone standing before it, Lily is by the door, waiting for Danica.

The redhead smiles wide as music starts and Jackson walks Danica down the short aisle towards Regulus. Lily walks behind her slowly.

Danica looks him over: a creaseless navy suit, shiny black shoes, and those curls of black sitting perfectly on the top of his head, flowing down to his ears. She smiles softly and she catches Sirius's eye. He is grinning broadly and his lips move as he whispers something to Regulus but she can't make out what he said.

≪ Regulus ≫

"Merlin," Regulus hears Sirius whisper and he looks at him without moving his head. "Incredible."

Regulus smiles widely and fights the urge to turn around until the right time. He just listens to their favourite song and pictures Danica walking up the aisle. When Sirius gives him the signal, Regulus twists around on the spot. His lips part as his eyes land on Danica in a pearl white floor-length lace dress. She is gorgeous - more than gorgeous - there are no words to describe her. She smiles at him, her beautiful, beautiful smile that radiates over her whole face, shining in her eyes. She holds a bouquet of roses and has her arm linked through her brother's. They never break eye contact as she walks up to the altar until she comes to a rest; Jackson kisses her cheek and she passes the flowers to Lily. Then Danica looks at Regulus again and walks the final steps on her own and to his side.

"Hey," she says quietly, almost shyly, her smile never fading.

"Hey," Regulus breathes. "You're... stunning..."

She bites her lip a little and shakes her head.

"Flower," Regulus whispers so quietly. "I'm... speechless..."

Danica blushes a little.

"Shh," she reaches out at the same time that he does and their hands connect. He squeezes gently as the marriage officiant appears at the altar.

"Welcome!" Penelope says joyfully. "Please be seated," there is a pause as everyone sits before she continues. "The most extraordinary moment in life is when you meet the person who makes you feel complete. The person who makes the world a beautiful and magical place. The person with whom you share a bond so special that it transcends normal relationships and becomes something so pure and so wonderful, that you can't imagine spending another day of your life without them."
