The day has finally come. 

Malfoy Manor was decked out in wedding decorations, Narcissa really went all out for this special event. The ceremony was being held in the central gardens of the manor. There were chairs lined in a few rows, considering there were not that many guests attending. The aisle was a long piece of white fabric laying on the grass in the middle. At the altar, there was a white curtain tied at the sides. There was a chalk sign welcoming the guests as they arrive. 

Severus was upstairs, sitting in the bedroom that Lucius set him up with

Severus was upstairs, sitting in the bedroom that Lucius set him up with. He was sitting at a vanity, taking deep breathes. He couldn't believe it. He was actually getting married. He looked at himself in the mirror, a big smile on his face. He wasn't completely dressed yet as he still had a few hours left till the ceremony, but he was wearing a black dressing robe. 

Hearing a knock on the door, he turns, "Yes?". 

The door opens, Regulus, Rabastan and Lucius walking into the room. Both of them were wearing almost fully dressed, just not wearing their suit jacket. Regulus was holding onto his boyfriend's arm. 

Regulus smiles, "How are you feeling?". 

Severus nods, "Really nervous". 

Lucius walks over, "You have nothing to worry about. Everything will go perfectly. Especially with Narcissa as your wedding planner". 

He laughs, "I know she will". He sighs, "It's Tom I'm worried about". 

Regulus asks, "Why?". 

"I don't know. I just...the voice in my head is making me think he's having doubts". 

Rabastan smiles, "I can assure you he's not. We just went to see him and he has the biggest smile on his face. Constantly going over his vows and now he's running around making sure everything is as you wanted". 

Lucius nods, "There is so much to be exicted about today. Including...". He next to Severus and hands him a piece of parchment, "...something else to look forward to". 

Severus takes the parchment and starts to open it. Regulus and Rabastan smirking, already knowing what it contained. Reading what it said, Severus gasps and covers his mouth. 

He looks up, "Luc". 

He smiles, "After the miscarriage, we didn't know what to do

He smiles, "After the miscarriage, we didn't know what to do. If it wasn't for you and Tom, we wouldn't have survived. And now...consider this an early wedding gift". 

Severus stands, tears in his eyes and gives Lucius a big hug, "Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me". 

Lucius smiles, "Tom had the same reaction". He pulls back and makes eye contact, "I can't think of a better couple to be the godparents of our child. So, we will leave you with your maid of honour to get ready". 

Severus nods and Lucius starts to walk towards the door. Rabastan gives Regulus a kiss and follows him out of the room. As the door closes, Regulus smiles seeing Severus staring at the parchment. 

Regulus walks closer, "The day has finally come. Can you believe it?". 

Severus smiles wide, "This...". He looks around the room, "...is a dream come true. After all this time, I'm finally marrying the man I love". 

He laughs, "And Dumbledore no longer has any hold on you. Now...". He leads Severus to sit back down at the vanity, "...let's get you wedding ready". 

Regulus spent the next two hours helping Severus get ready. Meanwhile, Tom was downstairs with Lucius and Rabastan, walking around the garden. 

Tom smiles, "Everything is perfect. Gives my thanks to Narcissa, Luc. She really put this all together nicely". He turns to the two, "How was he?". 

Rabastan responds, "Nervous, but very excited". 

Lucius nods, "He started thinking you were going to have doubts but we managed to calm him down. Regulus is with him now". 

They come up to where the ceremony is set up. Tom smiles, the day he's dreamed of has finally arrived. 

He smirks and turns to Rabastan, "You know, it's not too late to make this a double wedding". 

Lucius snickers as he blushes, "I hate you both. Why am I friends with you?". 

They laugh and notice their guests starting to arrive. It was time.
