It had only been a few months, and although you and Lucius had reveled in being engaged, you both could sense within each other that there was an impatient feeling; that there was no point in waiting any longer and that you both wanted to finally make things official. You and Lucius had a new-found sense of freedom; a freedom to love each other without any hurdles or without any nightmare scenarios. It was time to make it official.
After many nights discussing the details of the wedding, you both had a thought at the same time. With a smile on both of your faces, as if you could reach each other's minds, you both agreed that you wanted to have a small ceremony; so small in fact that it would just be you and Lucius. And an officiant of course.
The decision to have no one at the wedding, not even your own family, who had always been supportive, just felt right for both of you. The journey you both had in your relationship had always been intense in all ways possible, and with something as special as this was for both of you, you mutually decided that you just wanted to "elope" as it were. However, instead of eloping abroad somewhere, you both knew that you wanted to have it right at the Malfoy Manor, in the beautiful white rose garden which was blooming so stunningly now that you and Lucius had made it so.
And so on the late afternoon of your wedding day in the peak of Spring, you slipped on your gorgeous gown that you had picked out a few weeks prior. It was whimsical, just as you were, made from delicate lace that hugged your body perfectly, and seemed to emulate the plants and roses that you loved so much; the lace of it looking like rose vines winding up the sleeves and around the bodice of the dress. You looked like a beautiful woodland fairy, and you knew Lucius would love it. You could only imagine how he, himself, looked.
You had been getting ready in one of the large guest bedrooms of the Manor, but with one last look in the gilded mirror you knew you were ready. Emily, your beloved cat, had been watching you get ready, the little creature now used to living at either the London mansion or the Malfoy Manor. She gave you a mewl of approval as you scratched her sweetly under the chin one last time before grabbing your bouquet of magical white roses and making your way downstairs so you could head out to the rose garden where Lucius said he would be waiting for you.
Your skin tingled with excitement, passion and a bit of nerves as you made your way through the maze of gardens until you finally reached the entrance of the rose garden where you knew Lucius was just on the other side. Turning the corner into the garden, your heart beat fast at the sight of your Slytherin King, your Lucius. He was elegant as ever, a suit of the finest black velvet fitted to his body perfectly. Over his shoulders was an elegant, rich black cloak of the finest fabric, with a trim all around it in a stunning deep green thread. His hair was tied back at the nape of his neck with a satin ribbon, and you simply adored when he wore his hair tied back like that. In his hand he held a cane which he had attached the silver head snake you had gotten him all those years ago; a symbol of the early days of your love. You touched the snake necklace that you had put on; the very one he had also gotten you that Christmas all of those years ago when you were younger.
