It's about time!

[Ginny Weasly]

((Everyone's invited! Jump in at any time.))

Ginny Weasly paced around the small room, biting her lips. Her red hair was braided around her head, the rest of it falling in soft waves. Her make up was perfect, though she wore little. Her cheeks were pink from being nervous, and she was wringing her hands. Her blue-white dress fluttered around her.

In the room with her were two others. The one was obviously Arthur Weasley, his graying red hair and glasses making the point. He was dressed in his best, looking extreamly happy. He watched Ginny pace, a small smile etched on his lips.
Beside him stood Cody, also dressed in his best. He wore a black tux,, had his hands behind his back and was also watching Ginny. His black hair had finally been cut to a respectable length and his eyes were even more striking now.
"Mom!" He finally yelled out, "Calm down!"

Ginny jerked to a stop, turning and facing Cody, "But I'm so nervous!" She said, throwing her hands up.

Cody sighed, going to her side and taking her hand, 'Don't be. You are marrying Dad. Not some jerk."

Ginny smiled down at Cody, kneeling and cupping his angelic face in her hands. She kissed both his cheeks, "My angel, you are absolutely correct."

Arthur cleared his throat, "Um, we should get going. Before they start without us."

"How can they do that?" Ginny asked, laughing, "I'm the one getting married!" She stood, taking Cody's hand and Arthur's arm. As the left the room, Cody let go of his mother's hand to go through another door, one that lead outside to the garden. Ginny stopped and looked at her dad.

"Thanks Dad." She said softly, "I know you guys had to work hard to put this all together so fast. But I really appreciate it." She threw her arms around her father in a tight hug, "It meas a lot to me for you guys to get it all set up."
Ginny and Xaver had only given a week's notice. But this had turned out wonderful so far.

Arthur nodded, tears in his eyes as he hugged Ginny back.
"Of course, Gin. You are my daughter, and Xaver is a good guy." He kissed her forehead, "I'm so happy for you." Outside, the piano began to play, and the two looked at each other in surprise. Ginny's eyes grew wide, and she seemed just like a little girl.

She bit her lip, and her father took her arm. Slowly, he led her out of the house and up to the spot they had designated for the ceremony. Surrounding them were dozens of kinds of flowers and other plants. It was a beautiful day, not too warm, but by no means cold. There were people sitting in chairs facing the spot where Cody now stood next to Xaver. Cody, it seemed was the best man at his own parent's wedding.

Ginny and Arthur reached halfway up the make shift aisle, when Ginny felt like time froze. She blinked a few times, looking from Cody to Xaver, having one of those surreal moments where they seemed to melt into one being and then back into their separate entities. She swallowed around a lump in her throat. She was terrified, suddenly.
Time had not frozen. Her fear was making it seem slower, however.

[Xaver]

Xaver had never known nerves so bad.

He hadn't been able to down a morsel all day, and not only was it getting harder by the minute to draw a decent breath, his heart was hammering a bruise into the underside of his ribcage, and the pulse in his temples was turning into an unnerving headache. Not once, through the entire morning, had he stopped fidgeting, barely containing himself enough to be fitted into his suit.
The more he thought about it, the more sure of himself and nervous he was, all at once. He'd never been surer of anything in his life - and never more anxious.

Xaver was dressed in tails, and different from the other men; a dark, elegant black suit that was trimmed to perfection down to his shiny, fit shoes, the white dress shirt beneath, and the soft blue handkerchief poking out of his breast pocket. His thick, obsidian hair had grown back slightly from it's brutally short cut - enough to curl whisps about his ears, and soften, slightly, the handsome, sharp angles of his near angelic features. The swell of his full mouth was tipped upward slightly, even as he chewed on his lower lip, the deep, soulful blue oceans of his eyes moving nonstop over the gathered crowd as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other, alone, at the altar. In supple blacks, and pressed, elegant dressings,

  Xaver's long, toned form was the image even angels would envy..
Which, in itself, was more than irony, itself.

More than a few Angels had come to the ceremony, to pay witness and respects to their Fallen king and comerade. He recognized them all, in one shape or form - though all, as yet, had refrained from releasing their wings. It was the added tension in the air that Xaver felt, more than saw. His empath abilities tuning them in to their anxieties, as well as his own. There were only a few people in the crowd that Xaver didn't recognize.. And he supposed that wouldn't last too long.. Not anymore, anyway.. Friends of the bride, after all, would soon be friends of his, too..
Or, at least acquaintences.
True friends, he knew dearly, were terribly hard to come by, for him.

Xaver shifted anxiously, bringing his arms before him, and gripping his left wrist with his right hand, trying to still himself, though quite unsuccessfully.
He was not afraid, to be married.
Or of the promises and years that would follow.
It was, perhaps, that age-old feeling... From so long ago. The fear of everything that could possibly go wrong...
It reminded him of years ago.. The first years he'd been around Ginny. Been with her. Been so scared of losing her..
So afraid she'd turn away..

Cody was at his side for a few moments before it even registered to Xaver he was there. He grinned nervously at the boy, and gave him a proud wink, then swallowed, as the music started, and that slow, familiar harmony began to play. His gaze flickered up the long stretch of satiny runway, and fell over Ginny, as she stepped around the corner. His heart quit its destructive strumming, and for a moment, seemed to catch in his throat, as he watched her move. Slowly, impossibly slowly, making her way up the isle. Up, toward him. Toward him, and their future, for better, or for worse.

The nervousness that had entranced him since he'd woken up that morning seemed to fade, suddenly, as a bright, enamored smile tilted his mouth, and lit up his features, an engaging tenderness touching his gaze.
There was no reason to be nervous. Not of this. Quickly, easily, it came to him that this was what he'd been wanting, needing, all his life. And she moved toward him now, all glowing, red-haired beauty.
His sense of home.
The love of his life.

[Ginny Weasly]

Arthur left go of Ginny's arm, and she stepped up beside Xaver. She managed a small smile at him, all her anxiety showing through. She was terrified that Xaver would simply decide this wasn't what he wanted. She looked down at their son, giving him a big smile, and he returned it with one of her own.
His smile sent a surge of strength through her.
He was truly her Angel.

Ginny faced Xaver, and was instructed by the priest (or whatever) to begin her vows. She and Xaver had agreed on writing their own. She took a deep breath, allowing herself to smile.

She began slowly.

"It sounds clichéd, but you are my one true love, Xaver." She smiled at him, "Few people understand the depth of the word love. But between you and I, I think we know."
She winked.

"We know it means living without each other for years upon years and still loving each other with all our hearts."
The time that Xaver had been gone had been the hardest three years of her life.

"We know that it means being able to make mistakes, and forgiving each other for it."
They both made them. Neither was perfect.

"We realized it means that we will always fight and argue, but continue to love each other unconditionally."
All the petty squabbles that came with living together and raising a child together.

Ginny paused, taking another deep breath to calm her quickening heart.
"Between you and I, we know that not everything is solved with a kiss and a promise. We know that such things take work, and nurturing. Just like our child does." She smiled at Cody, who grinned back widely.

"Xaver Aleksander Xian, I love you more than life itself. You mean the world to me and more. I promise to the God's above and below, in front of all those here, our son included that I will be there for you no matter what. I will take care of you when you are sick, I will make you happy when you are sad, and I will make you feel rich when you are without a penny. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side."

She smiled at him, shyly.
"As long as you want me there."

Marriage. The union of two couples. So beatiful.

Albus was sitting in one of the benches, in the middle of the room.
He was wearing his tuxedo, black, long sleeves, and a white suit shirt, and, a long black pants, with thin
white stripes. A big grin was broading his face. Finally, Ginny and Xaver was being married.
The feeling that was spreading through Albus was great. Ginny, his frined, along with teacher, was actually getting married. In his mind, Xaver and Ginny had been married for a long while,
those two being so close, you should think they had been married for tens of years.

Ginny's vows was beatiful. Extremely good. He shifted, feeling he had too move.
His gaze went over to Cody, thinking he was lucky, having such wonderful parents.

It was a day of happiness, indeed.

[dobby888]

Jessie sat quietly, she was between Albus and Leah, her two best friends.  She loved weddings.  Everything was so well done.  And it was one of those times when you could get really dolled up and still fit in perfectly.  She wore a sundress, striped vertically with rainbow colors.  She had made it herself and it fit perfectly.  Plenty of space to breath and yet it didn't hang off of her.  Her white heels had been shed, sitting neatly next to her feet.  She preferred the comfort that came with being barefoot, and it wasn't like people would notice anyways.

Tears welled up in her eyes.  She loved this.  Ginny and Xaver were finally married.  It seemed as if they had been married years ago, but that clearly wasn't true.  A hard nudge in the side made her look of at her sister who mouthed the words 'You old softy'.  She was nothing of the sort, but this just kind of got to her.  Ginny looked beautiful and all the decorations were perfect.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey was seated on the other side of Albus. She didn`t really feel like she knew Ginny enough to come, but she decided to when Albus and the others where going. Stacey was wearing a blue dress with a sheer dark blue jacket over it. She was clenching her hands together. Ginny did look beautiful. Even though Stacey didn`t know Ginny as well as some of the other students, but she had tears in her eys. She always cried at weddings.

[I loves YOUz]

Before the wedding Billie saw Leah sit down by Jessie, and before Pete could sit by Leah, Billie sat down. She smiled sweetly at Pete. He didn't get mad or anything, but just sat by Billie with out a single thought. Today was about Ginny and Xaver, and Pete wasn't going to make a big deal over a seat.

After Ginny said her vows, Billie had tears of happiness swelling up in her eyes. Billie finally realixed that  Ginny and Xaver were finally getting married. She was so happy for them. Billie wiped her tears away and onto her dress. Billie never wore dresses, but today she did. Her dress went just below her knees. It was a bright green and white dress. Billie moved her feet slightly to remind herself she at least had something of her normal attair. Her bright green converse.

Billie smiled as she looked from her feet around. The decorations were beautiful, and Ginny looked simply stunning. Xaver which Billie had only see once looked much different then when she had seen him, but he looked nice.

Pete just sat there. He had no tears running down his face, but felt the happiness in the air. He had a small smile on his face. Pete wore a pair of dressy black pants, and a white undershirt. His over shirt was a light blue color. His shoes where black vans.

He was very happy that the couple was getting married. He had been to one wedding before this, but this one seemed to be filled with more love then Pete had ever sensed. *They must have a very strong love for eachother* He whispered extremely softly to himself. He didn't want to interupt anything. Pete couldn't believe all the people who had come. Some students, and what he could tell from the red'headed crowd Ginny's family had show'd up. He smiled as he looked over at Billie. He was sort of surprised she was crying.

[potter_fan122]

 Stacey also had a few tears running down her face, she couldn`t help it. Stacey had taken her ring off her right ring finger and was holding it in her hand. It soon became warm from her body heat. Stacey looked at Billie and was glad that she had came along with Pete.

[LavyBrown]

Lavy repositioned herself in her seat. Her hands were resting on her crossed leg and she had one of those cheesy, can't get rid of it grins on her face. She almost sighed outloud that this was finally happening.

It felt like a lifetime ago that they had all met Xaver and Ginny had fallen for him and visa verse. And at the same time it seemed like just yesterday that he, a strange being from another land, had enter all their lives. And now after all this time he and Ginny were getting married. It seemed long overdue.

She began fiddling with the hemline of her knee-length robin's egg blue dress. It felt like forever since she had worn a dress at all. Dresses just where not very convenient when running from an ex for your life. She felt a little exposed, like at any moment she would have to kick off her heels and start running. But she pushed the unhappy feelings away, not wanting to miss a second of her friends wedding for foolish thoughts.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey sighed quietly and looked at Lavy. She hadn`t know her for very long, but she knew about her past. Stacey looked at Billie, one of her first friends. Stacey blinked the tears from her eyes and looked back to the ceremony.

[fudge0604]

((I am sorry Stacey, but, I'll just say this. Wait for the others to reply. Don't reply everytime someone has wrote something. When you do such a thing in an RP where several people are in it, you mess up the whole Rp, which is really now on Ginny and Xaver, so isn't it them that are gonna do the most posting?

Don't get angry at me or something, but, the spotlight is gone from them now...))

[potter_fan122]

(( Sorry Ginny, I didn`t mean to take the spotlight off you! And Albus, I can`t get mad at you for giving me constructive advice.))

[Xaver]

Xaver's heart thudded harder, and faster, with every step Ginny made down the isle. While he was impressive in his suit, she was flawless, and she stole his breath with every movement, as easily as she had stolen his heart, so very long ago. It seemed like ages - and it had truly been years - since he'd come to this place. Reluctance and resistance, however, had been soon to change. He'd gone from barely comprehending the term love, to understanding it, deep within his soul.

Arthur Weasley delivered Ginny to his side, and Xaver's heart pulled as the brilliant smile over his mouth widened, taking her hand as her father stepped back. Releasing his daughter for the last time, as a Weasley. Ginny looked to Cody, standing still by Xaver's side, and pride enveloped him as his two favorite beings in the world shared a grin.

Her vows were beautiful.

They'd decided early on to write their own vows - as well to have a traditional ceremony. There were many alterations that could have been made - and some had - but traditional, and simple, seemed the natural way to go about their joining - and the energy of those about them made certain of that fact. The world, however, seemed so much smaller as he met Ginny's eyes, her gaze seeming to probe far deeper into him than ever before. Brushing the very essence that was his soul.

"Ginerva Molly Weasley," he started in a low, affectionate tone.
"You taught me the meaning of unconditional. You introduced me to love. And a long time ago, I fell unconditionally in love with everything about you. Everything I'd been looking for, all that I've ever needed, and so much more beyond that I've ever dreamed. You changed my life. You became my life. And we created life."

Xaver cast a loving grin to his side, where his best man, his son, stood strong.
When he looked back to Ginny, his heart was pounding, as strongly as ever.


"In sickness, health, trouble, or in joy, I promise to be true, and all that I can be."
He paused, and caught her gaze, holding it, and her hands between his own.
"When I asked your hand, I promised mine, and my soul, and all that I have to give, for all and for whatever eternity fate choses to give us. Ginny, I love you, like nothing and no one else."

His smile was eternal.
"For forever."

[Ginny Weasly]

Xaver spoke, and Ginny's heart basically stopped. She could hear nothing but his words, and they were the most important thing to her right now. She felt his hands around hers and her smile was true. It lit up not only her lips, but her eyes as well. They sparkled with pure happiness, and she seemed almost giddy.

She nodded slightly to him, fighting the impulse to throw her arms around him immediately and kiss him. It was hard, but she managed by biting her lip and looking to Cody. Their four year old stood looking thrilled, somehow keeping from jumping up and down in his excitement. His eyes, which matched Xaver's perfectly, were bright, earnest.

They exchanged silver rings, placing them on each other's hands. The bands were plain, simple, yet at the same time beautiful. They symbolized eternal love, which was what the two of them had for each other.

The pastor/priest/whatever finally nodded to the two of them after what seemed like an eternity.
"By the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. Sir, you may kiss your bride."

Ginny didn't wait for Xaver to kiss her, she gave into her impulse and put her arms around his shoulders, pressing her lips against his. The kiss produced the same results as always.
Tingles up and down their spines.
That all over cold and warm feeling at the same time.
Their hearts speeding up.
Their stomachs flipping.
That feeling of dizziness.

The kisses between them where impossible to define.

[dobby888]

Leah watched Ginny and Xaver and, much to her dismay, she started to cry.  It was impossible to avoid.  They made such a cute couple, and you could see the love radiating between them.  Leah's orange dress had seemed to stick out in the crowd earlier, but now there was no doubt that every eye was on the scene before them.

~~~

Jessie sighed.  She wanted a wedding so badly, but it wasn't going to happen for a while, that was for sure.  She didn't even have a boyfriend.  She resisted the urge to laugh when Ginny practically pounced on Xaver.  What she emitted was probably much worse.  It was a muffled sort of laugh/cry/snort thing, and luckily it was quiet, otherwise her face would have been as red as any Weasley's hair.
