I absolutely adore this, it's just so lovely to think that though only five people were supposed to attend, many others turned up to show their support.

Fred and George's little song did make me squee a little. I can't help but adore this little rendition, I think Harry missed a damm good, hectic little ceremony ;___;

Thank you for the kind words! I'm sure Remus and Tonks' friends must have done something to mark the occasion and the day for them, even if the wedding itself did, of necessity, have to be very quiet - but I couldn't resist the idea of this little scene (or of letting the twins run loose with their idea of 'appropriate' wedding songs). Particularly because as well as supporting R/T, it rather pointedly has a dig at the Ministry at the same time.

Thanks again. Glad you enjoyed it! And that's an excellent icon you have there.:D

oh this i just excellent :) and Fred and George's song still has me giggling.

gilpin25 July 22 2010, 20:56:12 UTC

Aw, thank you very much!:D I would like to imagine it was exactly like this, and obviously all weddings should have Fred and George accompanying them? ;)

What a great story.
I couldn't helpbut smile when I read this. I loved theMolly with her food and the twins singing.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks so much for reading and the kind words!:D It would be nice to think it was a little like this, as I'm sure their friends wouldn't have let the occasion simply go by. Though I may have gone a bit OTT with Molly and the canapés, lol.

No. It is so what Molly would do. She always gets herself involved with everyone else's life whether they want her to or not.

I’m starting here - thanks to crack_broom. I never thought I could enjoy a (Remus/Tonks) wedding fic this much! It’s wonderful how you bring all these characters along and make their presence vivid and significant in such a small space:) And the bride and groom are adorable - as portrayed in the song, too.

Aw, thank you very much for following shimotsuki's rec, and especially for the very kind words! There was a word limit for these drabbles, as you've probably guessed, so it's lovely to hear you thought all the characters featured played a significant role. It would be nice to think their family and friends did mark the occasion for them in some way, even if it didn't go quite as far as taking over Ministry offices with canapés and balloons as suggested here!

Thank you again. :)
