It was the day of Rory and Charlies wedding after Charlie had decided he didn't want to wait. Phoenix had agreed to be one of Rory's bridesmaids along with Tonks, Ginny and Rory's friend Angelina. Rory was hugging Angelina as Tonks, Ginny and Phoenix walked in. Angelina looked at them all before talking.
"We're on freak out number 1 by the way"
"Thanks for that Ang" Rory muttered. Phoenix could only imagine how she felt right now, she was worried about her own wedding which was months away so she had a few months to get over it whereas Rory didn't and had apparently been bottling it all up until now.
"Rory it's normal" Tonks says as she goes to sit on one the chairs Mrs Weasley had put in the room for them.
"Is it"
"Yes, now come on in the chair so we can start working on you" Angelina says pointing at the chair in front of her. Rory sits down as Angelina starts getting the bits ready to do Rory's makeup whilst Tonks starts on her hair and Ginny start's on Phoenix's. "Rory stop thinking, I can see the panic on your face"
"Sorry"
"Right you're done, Tonks you're next" Angelina says as Rory stands up and Tonks takes her place. Ginny moves on to Tonks hair whilst Angelina does her makeup. It's not long before every ones hair and makeup was done. Rory starts pacing again.
"Rory what's on your mind" Ginny asks watching her.
"Yeah you'll regret that question"
"Come on let it out"
"Does this feel too soon to anyone else, I mean we've only been going out for like 2 years, isn't that a bit soon"
"I'll be right back" Ginny says running out of the room.
"Where's she going" Rory asks and the others just shrug. She reappears a few minutes later with drinks and Mrs Weasley.
"How many freak outs are we on" Mrs Weasley asks as she comes in.
"We are currently on freak out number 2" Angelina tells her.
"Right can you girls give me a minute" Mrs Weasley asks the others who all nod and leave. They all wait in the hall whilst Mrs Weasley talks to Rory. When they head back in Rory's hugging Mrs Weasley.
"We finished?" Tonks asks as Rory nods.
"Right we need to start getting you in your dresses, it starts in 30 minutes" Mrs Weasley announces. Phoenix gets her dress on and notices Rory staring at her own dress whilst the others put theirs on. Ginny walks over to Rory before Phoenix gets the chance.
"Come on Rory, let's get you dressed" Ginny says handing her the dress. Rory puts it on with Ginny's help before Phoenix grabs her shoes, which were converse and that suited Rory.
"Wow, you look stunning" Phoenix hears Angelina say as she walks over to Rory.
"Okay 5 minutes everyone ready" Mrs Weasley says as there's a knock at the door. Mrs Weasley opens the door slightly before fully opening it to reveal Remus, she leaves followed by the bridesmaids leaving Rory alone with her godfather. Phoenix smiles at Remus before she walks out shutting the door behind her. Rory walks to where the others with Remus, her arm wrapped around his. The others were stood by the tent waiting to start.
"You look gorgeous Ror" Fred whispers as he sees her, Angelina at his side.
"I agree" George adds before taking his place beside Tonks.
"You really do look beautiful Rory"
"Thanks Harry" He smiles before standing with Ginny. The music starts as Harry and Ginny walk in first followed by Ron and Phoenix, then George and Tonks before Fred and Angelina. Remus walks her towards her soon to be husband before placing her hand in Charlies and walking to his seat. Phoenix smiles at Bill who returns the smile before looking at his brother who was whispering something to Rory.
"Ladies and gentlemen, We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of two faithful souls These two have come together with you, their family and friends, to celebrate their love and commitment they will make to each other today. As we all know, it is impossible to manufacture or imitate love; love is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than human intelligence, than forces of nature. The union we all witness today is built on a true love that runs deep.
Charles and Aurora as you both know, you are protected, in short, by your ability to love. As you make your wedding vows, remember this truth and honour it each day of your marriage. Charles, please repeat after me:
I, Charles Weasley, vow to honour and cherish you, to support you and celebrate you, until the very end."
"I, Charles Weasley, vow to honour and cherish you, to support you and celebrate you, until the very end"
"Aurora now would you please repeat after me:
I, Aurora Potter, vow to honour and cherish you, to support you and celebrate you, until the very end."
"I, Aurora Potter, vow to honour and cherish you, to support you and celebrate you, until the very end."
"Now do you Charles Septimus Weasley take Aurora Nova Potter to be your wife"
"I do"
"And do you Aurora Nova Potter take Charles Septimus Weasley to be your husband"
"I do"
"Then I declare you bonded for life." The wizard waved his wand high over their heads a shower of silver stars fell from it, spiralling around them as they kissed. Fred and George started cheering. "Ladies and gentlemen! If you would please stand up!" They all did so, he waved his wand again. The seats on which they had been sitting rose into the air as the centre of the tent changed to form a dance floor; the hovering chairs groped themselves around small navy clothed tables, which all floated gracefully back to earth around it.
Phoenix was dancing with Sirius when she saw Remus pulling Rory to the dance floor. She sent Sirius a smile as he watched them as well. Remus spun Rory around making her laugh.
"It's a shame James and Lily couldn't be here" Phoenix says quietly to Sirius who was watching Rory with a smile.
"Yeah but they're always with her and James would be happy to see her smiling" Sirius said with a small smile as Phoenix hugged him.
