Her lips quirked into a small smile as she watched Ron, smoothing her green dress robes over her knees as she sat down, making sure that they didn't wrinkle. Both Ron and his brother looked very handsome in their dress robes and Lavender felt sure she couldn't be blamed for her mouth going a little dry when she had first seen Ron in his robes. Really, there ought to be more occasions for men to wear formal robes.
She glanced around, seeing a couple of people that she recognised. Lavender couldn't remember the last wedding that she'd been to, but this was definitely the first she'd been to since the end of the war.

Love you, he mouthed, his lips curling up slightly.

Love you, too, she told him, feeling a little warm as he looked at her.

"Ladies and gentlemen," she began. "If I may."
The crowd quieted slightly and shifted in their seats, and she lifted her chin toward the back of the room for Morag to begin.

It seemed to take ages to walk down the aisle up to the arch, and she admired the handiwork in the ivy, roses, and fairylights - Terry had only knocked over the arch twice when they were decorating it, and it looked lovely. Everything was very simply decorated, but really, Morag didn't mind. She helped her father move her veil back behind her head before giving him a perfunctory kiss on the cheek.
Turning to Percy, she gave him a tentative smile, hoping he wasn't as nervous as he looked.

He returned Morag's smile briefly, then took her hand and turned towards the Minister, his eyes shining with gratitude. Though he was sorry not to see his mother or Charlie, it meant something to him to have the Minister there to marry them. Particularly as she'd been so supportive of Percy, so unlike past Ministers he'd served. It made the wedding even more important and special.

With a tiny smile he made a thumb's up motion, then looked toward the Minister of Magic, hoping the ceremony would start soon.

He grinned at her. "You look lovely though." She did, in her new black dress robes and little black dress. "You need more material on that thing, but otherwise stunning. And not a bit nervous. You should be, with Fred and I both here. You know that no one is safe, yes?"

Smoothing her robes over her knees, Ginny was grateful to have found something decent at the second-hand shop as she couldn't have afforded anything better. The dress was ages old but thankfully a classic cut and she'd wanted to look good for Percy's sake. "I'm not nervous because I'll hex you both into next week if you even think of ruining Percy's day." Ginny squeezed his hand though.

"Ah, feel the love," he said dryly, squeezing her hand back and then slipping his arm around her and settling in to watch the ceremony. "I'd not know what to do if you weren't threatening me. I'd think you were ill. Brat."

Relaxing back in the seat, she folded her hands in her lap and resisted the urge to sniffle. She was very happy for Percy and just seeing him up there, looking so serious and proper made her eyes mist up. "I would be ill and I'd think you had something to do with it. Prat."

It was show time for Ron, time to play his only real role in the wedding, presenting the wedding ring to Percy so he could put it on his bride's finger. Reaching into the pocket on the left side of his robes, Ron found...nothing, not even a piece of lint. Trying not to panic, he pursed his lips as he dug slightly deeper. That was useless, of course; there was no ring to meet his fingers then either. Realising how embarrassing it would be to have to Summon the wedding ring during the ceremony, Ron took a little breath and dug into his other pocket.
Success.
Well, that could've been a disaster, he thought, smiling to cover up his confusion as he pulled the ring out and carefully handed it to Percy.

Turning, he shook the Minister's hand, giving her his heartfelt thanks. Then he riveted Morag to his waist with his free arm, leaning rather heavily on his walking stick with the other. The long period of standing hadn't been much good for his leg. Indeed, it throbbed rather painfully, but he didn't mind as he limped down the aisle, his beautiful bride clinging to him in a very satisfactory manner.
Now all he had to do was keep her from divorcing him when she met the twins.
