The family moved from the ceremony area to the long outdoor tables shortly after the ceremony as the sun was beginning to set. Adele and Molly went all out with the feast they prepared, consisting of the couple's favorite foods.

The couple sat down side by side in the middle of the row of chairs, observing the food in front of them. Cordelia's mouth watered at the scent of Yorkshire pudding, steamed vegetables, and shepherd's pie. Fred's eyes were bulging at the sight of fish and chips, roast chicken, beans on toast, and of course, pizza.

"You cooked all of this?" asked Cordelia, looking toward the mothers with a smile.

"Of course, dear," said Molly, bending down to kiss the the top of Cordelia's head before doing the same to Fred.

"We knew you two wouldn't want a fancy meal, so we decided on your favorites," added Adele.

"How did you get pizza?" asked Fred.

"Well, we made it ourselves. It may not be anything like the pizza you brought to us a while ago. We had to make it," his mother answered.

Everyone was sitting down and filling their plates while conversations were being had as everyone ate. Bill and Fleur were at the end of the table, talking to Muriel and Ginny about the garden. Kiana and Lee were on Cordelia's right, talking across the table to Tonks and Remus. George was on Fred's left, talking with his parents. Amos and Adele were having a conversation with Molly and Arthur, the men praising their wives' work.

"So, when are you two having one of these?" Tonks asked Cordelia, rubbing her pregnant belly.

"Not for a long while," answered Cordelia, after sharing a glance with Fred.

"Take your time. Look at how old I am," said Remus, jokingly, causing George and Ginny to snicker under his breath. The age difference between Remus and Tonks was a form of entertainment for the twins and their sister.

"Well, Remus and I were wondering... You could say no if you want, so no pressure... But we'd love it if you were this little one's godmother," said Tonks, her eyes pleading to her cousin with hopeful eyes.

Cordelia's mouth dropped and her eyes widened. "M-me? Really?"

"Yes you," answered Remus. "Harry has already agreed to be godfather. We feel you two would be perfect godparents."

Cordelia grinned as she jumped from her chair and ran around the table, engulfing her cousin in a big hug.

"Should we take this as yes?" Tonks asked with a laugh.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" exclaimed the new bride before she pulled away and gave a hug to Remus. "I promise I won't let you down."
