Lasting Love (a Fred Weasley Fan Fiction)

Wedding Day!

I dedicate this chapter to AlwaysDramione because there's a little something to make her smile ;)
This is one of two chapters for the wedding! :)
*Riley's POV*

The remaining months before the wedding went by in a flash and soon I was waking up to find Hermione and Ginny standing above me with two bags filled with beauty supplies. Fred was nowhere in sight, George probably had woken him up earlier and took the twins while I got ready for the big day.

"So we have to be ready by four, the ceremony is at four thirty," Ginny commented as she started to do French tips on my toenails. "It's almost noon now."

I smiled slightly, "why did I sleep in so late?!" I practically jumped out of bed and looked around wildly.

"You needed a lot of sleep for your big day, Riley. Fred thought it would be best for you to sleep in until ten but then we ran a little late ourselves..." Hermione shrugged slightly.

I nodded and sighed, "good thing I prepped myself last night huh?" I looked down at the white silk slip dress that I would be wearing under my dress today, I couldn't believe that I was going to be married after today.

Hermione laughed slightly, "nervous?"

I nodded, "just a bit. I'm really hungry though."

"Here, something light," Ginny handed me toast with sausage on top of it. "Just be careful eating, we don't need crumbs everywhere on that slip." I stuck out my tongue at her as I took a bite of the warm, delicious food.

Hermione began curling my hair and pinned back a few curls, "just relax, Rye."

I smiled as Hermione continued working on my hair before starting my makeup, "thank you guys for your help."

Both of them laughed slightly, "you're our best friend, Riley. Of course we're going to help you on your big day."

I nodded and closed my eyes as Ginny and Hermione continued working on me, three hours passed before they were completely done with me—makeup and all.

The two glanced at each other and giggled before Ginny turned away, "Riley...I need to add something on your leg...hold still." Before I could object, I felt Hermione's hands putting a strap around my leg and I blushed furiously as Ginny turned back around and took in my whole look.

"Fred won't be able to keep his eyes off you," Ginny whistled as she grinned.

Hermione snickered, "or his hands for that matter."

I blushed as Hermione added the veil to my hair and pulled it out so it went around my shoulders, "and you're finished. You look absolutely stunning."

I grinned at them and hugged each of them, "thank you for your help!"

Ginny looked at the clock in the room, "I'll go see if the twins are dressed and we can go downstairs. We have ten minutes before we should be down there."

I nodded as Ginny left the room, I grabbed Hermione's hands. "I'm nervous, Hermione."

Hermione smiled, "I know you are, if your eyes weren't purple I'd say you look perfectly calm." I looked in the mirror above the dresser and saw what Hermione meant, my eyes were now a deep purple—at least it went with my makeup. I guess I was even more nervous than expected, I thought I had a handle over changing my looks but obviously I was so nervous that I wasn't focusing on it properly. "Don't worry you'll be fine. Just remember, Fred will be at the end of the aisle just under the white altar."
