Excellent! Thanks for telling me so :)

You hooked me not only withba wedding fic, but a high word count! The whole story made me grin, but I think my favorite part was the invitations. I dont think i had ever seen that done before, and i could absolutely see it happening.

[thesteppyone]

Yay! The high word count was a surprise to me so I'm glad it's appreciated :)

Very happy I made you grin! Thanks for commenting :)

Great work! Thank you for writing this. I especially loved the way you organized the story by using little vignettes from the year of planning. It was beautiful. And congratulations on your wedding!

Thank you and thank you! I tend to avoid writing actual wedding scenes, but writing about them planning a wedding was a lot of fun. And a little cathartic! :)

This was so lovely and amazing!! I read it in stages through a couple of bus rides; it was hard to put it down! Besides the Ron/Hermione interaction, I loved how you included a Hermione/Lavender friendship and Ginny's pregnancy into this. And the hen party was brilliant. Loved it.

I could write Lavender and Hermione's friendship all day long, realmer06 made me believe in an awesome and deep Lavender through one of her fics and I've enjoyed writing her ever since.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the rec on Tumblr :)

[realmer06]

Oh, thanks! :) (also for not mentioning the fact that I *still* owe you a birthday fic from like three years ago that you requested and I never wrote...I'm a horrible person)

I really enjoyed this story, by the way. In the midst of planning my own wedding, it's nice to hear other people's horror stories. And regardless of influence I may or may not have had, I LOVED your Lavender. :)

Glad you liked it, I really do enjoy writing Lavender, she can be a lot of fun and serious, too :)

3 pieces of wedding advice: a) you'll have heard this already but it's a good one, take ten minutes out just to be together and married on your own. We got a drive around in the wedding car to have a good chat and a 'hi, by the way!' moment. Was pretty awesome. b) Have some flat shoes/trainers for the evening if you're wearing heels. Unless you're going for a short dress no one will see your feet anyway and you'll be able to dance while not in pain. c) Last but by no means least, if you have a lot of dress at the back pee facing forward> ... I mean seriously, So. Much. Easier.

This was absolutely brilliant! One of the most cleverly written Harry Potter fics I've ever read 😃😃😃
