It seemed like something out of a fairy tale. It was warm outside, the sun shining brightly as a breeze gently passed by carrying the scents of summer.
If there was ever a perfect day, a perfect moment, this was it.
When Lily Evans first met James Potter on the Hogwarts Express, she didn't like him very much. She never expected to become friends with him and refused to even date him, let alone marry him. But then he'd gone and stolen her heart. Looking back now, Lily wouldn't want it any other way. Their relationship had always been push and pull, an explosion waiting to go off right from the start. That's what made it brilliant, why Lily loved James. They were partners, in it till the end, no matter what. And today it was going to be made official.
The ceremony was small, close family and friends, outside in a field near Godric's Hollow. It was a personal favorite spot for the pair, the home of many fond memories together.
Standing just out of sight of the wedding party, Lily took in a deep breath and smiled. It all felt so surreal. Just a few months ago James had asked her to marry him, and without hesitation she'd jumped into his arms and said yes. It felt as though minutes had passed and Lily was waiting, dress zipped, veil on, flowers in hand.
What would the future bring? The War was getting worse everyday, and it was impossible to tell what would happen next. As long as we're together, which we always will be, it doesn't matter. That's what James always said, and it was true. They would always be together.
Suddenly the music started playing, and Lily knew it was her cue: the ceremony was starting. Adjusting her veil and checking her dress, Lily Evans stepped into view of the small crowd. Everyone was there: members of the Order, close friends from school and after, the people that mattered. A Minister stood at the end of the aisle, Alice and Dorcas on one side as her bridesmaids, and Sirius, Remus and Peter on the other as best men, respectively. Green eyes flickered momentarily until she saw him step forward, and after that moment he was all she saw.
Hair as messy as ever, James stood waiting for her. Lily felt her eyes being to tear as she reached her spot and James moved her veil back. She couldn't hear the Minister's words as her eyes were locked with James', and they did not move until it was time for vows. They had chosen traditional vows, and as the wedding band was slipped onto her ring finger, Lily couldn't help but smile, laugh and cry at the same time. Her fingers held tightly onto his as the ceremony continued, and once it all had been said, there was only one thing left to do.
"You may kiss the bride."
Since the invention of the kiss there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.
That day, that moment, was all Lily had ever wanted.
