Jae-Quills marriage prompt: wedding toast/the groom's toast I combined the two!
Written for: ineffably_roma and leo_draconis
Also written for: hump_day101 #8 - lose a few (fluff week)
Summary: Harry says it all.
After Ron and Blaise had entertained the guests and embarrassed the grooms with their toasts to the newlyweds, it was Harry's turn to stand up and raise his glass.
"Thank you all for coming today," he said. "It means the world to us that our family and friends could be here to help us celebrate our wedding day." The guests applauded, and Harry waited until the din died down before he continued. "In life, we win a few, and we lose a few. In my case, I lost my parents, but I gained a family." He saluted the Weasleys with his flute of champagne. Molly giggled and waved back, sloshing champagne out of her glass.
Harry beamed at her and went on. "I lost some battles, but I won a war." Here, the crowd erupted into cheers, and Harry had to pause until they quieted again.
"Most important, however, is that I lost my heart to a certain brave and clever Slytherin." Harry turned a fond smile on his new husband. "I won his heart in return, however, and I reckon that's more than an equal exchange."
The guests applauded once more, and Draco stood up planted a hot snog on Harry's lips. Polite applause turned into raucous catcalls. Harry and Draco broke apart, flushed and grinning.
Harry leaned close to Draco and whispered, "I don't know what else to say."
"You've said it all," Draco murmured in reply. He picked up his glass and raised it, and the guests mirrored the action. "To you, our family and friends," said Draco. "Thank you for your unwavering love and support." He clinked his glass to Harry's and drank, and the guests touched their glasses together and followed suit.
Harry and Draco sat down again, and Harry squeezed Draco's knee under the table. Speaking low enough for his husband's ears only, he asked, "Honeymoon now?"
"Patience, love," replied Draco. "First, we must dine and dance, and then we can make our escape."
