First! Beautiful scene. Not as great as the Potter/Weasley wedding, but still. I loved the Jean lectures and then subsequent breakdown. And nice keeping us tuned into the storyline with Victoire's discussion with Hagrid. :)

Aside: This fragment doesn't make sense "including Arthur and Molly (Ginny, a Muggle Studies student at Hogwarts, had done her best to dress the Weasley grandparents in Muggle formalwear, and they both turned out passable)." Do you mean Lily in the parentheses?

[kanedax]

Nah, I meant Ginny. I probably should have tacked "former" in there, or something... I meant it to say that she knows more about Muggle formalwear than her parents because she took the class.

I might go back and fix it, we shall see.

Ah, wonderful. Staunch champion as I was/am of Hermione/Teddy I knew I'd love this scene anyway, but your writing as ever made it a pleasure to peruse.

And of course I loved the reconciliation between the two sisters. I really thought that, when Caroline started her "[i]without you I wouldn't even be here right now[/i]" speech, she'd include the fact that Jean was the only/big reason why Teddy had thought things out and proposed in the first place.

Otherwise a nice full chapter, lots of little details that were a pleasure to note while we were waiting for the bride. Great stuff.

[kanedax]

Well, she hinted at it in the speech, but I made it so vague that it probably didn't stick out. lol

I wish one of my friends/boyfriends would tell me they are magical! hehe

Very beautiful scene between Hermione and Caroline. Makes me want to call up my sister and... wait a sec, I see my sister almost every day and I'm picking her up tonight after work. Good sister = me...check! :)

I'm wondering about Victoire, does she get a man in her future? I know you won't tell me, I'll just go read some more!

"He has a condition."
"alcoholic Uncle Lars"
"I would never have been born if it weren't for you, and how many sisters can say that without sounding completely creepy?"
ROTFL

Very good job of integrating Muggle and wizarding elements and showing the difficulty, but also the humor in the situation. :)
