They were kids. Fresh out of school, baby faced kids. And, yet, there they were, at the alter, loving each other as much as they could, while they could. Because, if this war had thought them anything, it had taught them that nothing lasts forever, but they weren't going to let that stop them from being the best things in each other's lives.
So, there they stood, their best friends on either side of them, watching this pure unadulterated love pour out of each other, knowing nothing would ever be able to divide them. For James and Lily knew, even then, that they would die together or not at all.
"James Potter. You might possibly be the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I'll admit, when I first met you seven years ago, I thought you were a bit of a prick. But I have soon since realised that you are the most loving, most caring, most compassionate prick I have ever met. So, even though you're a prick, you're my prick. And that's all that matters. Right??"
"Evans. Oh, Merlin. I can't believe I'm marrying Lily Evans – Sirius, what are you – no, I want this to come from the heart. Lily, I love you. You are brilliant. You are beautiful. You are... Sirius, another "B" word??"
"Err... badass??"
"Right. You are badass, Lily. And I love you. You're great. Wow. Umm, this normally works in the films. But, umm... yeah, the point is, Lily I have wanted this for my entire life and I can't believe you're actually marrying but thank you because I love you, Lily, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and –"
She cut him off with kiss, mirroring their first kiss on the Quidditch pitch not too long ago. Lily pulled back, after James didn't respond. He pulled her back in once he'd registered the situation. The kiss lasted longer that it should have done, and they both came up breathless. At the end James whispered, loud enough for only those close to him to hear, "I do."
And she laughed, if only to stop herself from crying she laughed. "I do."
A/N sorry, I've been having major Jily feels this week
