An Unwanted Marriage, But An Unexpected Love

An Unwanted Marriage, But An Unexpected Love


The next morning after the guys had gone to be fitted for their suits. Hermione her mother and Sara-Jane’s mother, and the others went to the nearest florist to chose and arranged what flowers they were going to have for the wedding.

Hermione chose red and white rose, with Orange tiger lilies, that were a shade caught between dark and light. She also chose pale pink roses. These were the flower she intended to have a medium sized bouquet made of.

For her bouquet, Sara-Jane had immediately been attracted to the dark pink Lilies, which had hints of white and light pink in them. She also liked the yellow, pink, and white roses.

The main wedding colours were to be pale blue, White and gold for Hermione, white, pale pink and silver for Sara-Jane. All these colours combined with their different taste in flowers, promised to be incredibly beautiful and exotic.

Hermione told the florist that she wanted a bouquet with red and pink roses mixed with the orange tiger lilies, and white roses. And she wanted it held all together with white, gold, and pale blue ribbons.

She then allowed Ginny to have a posy made up of pink roses mixed with white roses, held together with gold and pale blue ribbons The pale blue ribbons would compliment her dress perfectly.

Then it was Sara-Jane’s turn. She requested pink lilies mixed with yellow, white and pink roses, held together with silver, white, and pale pink ribbons.

Blaise had been allowed to have a posy of white and yellow roses mixed together, held in place with Silver and pale pink ribbons. She and Ginny had both chosen white roses. That was the only thing their posies each had in common.

Each wanted their fiancées to match them when it cape to their button hole roses. A red rose for Barty, because Hermione had red roses in her bouquet. Sirius on the other hand was going to have a yellow rose, due to Sara-Jane having yellow roses in her own bouquet.

Ron, the twins, long with Charlie, Bill, and Mr. Weasley, Jack Granger and Ryan Delaney, would have white roses. That was something Hermione and Sara-Jane had agreed with instantly.

Harry was to be Sirius’s best man, meaning he would have a yellow rose. Remus agreed to stand up for Barty, entitling him to a red rose. The ushers were to be Ron, Charlie, Bill, and the twins.

And at the last minute Fleur, Bill’s wife was to be bridesmaid, along with Gabriella, Fleur younger sister. She was a friend of Hermione’s and Ginny’s, after she had gotten over her crush on Harry, and had finally moved on.

Tonks and Gabriella decided they liked what Ginny had chosen as far as posies were concerned. Fleur on the other hand instantly loved Blaise’s choice. So in the end, that was settled.

After they were finished with the florist, the nine witches and Gwendolyn Granger went and ate at the nearest bakery. They sat and discussed everything that had been done and still needed to be done.

Hermione took out a list, as she placed her strawberry and cream filled pastry on the plate in front of her, before saying. “Well, that’s the flowers taken care of. Now we need to go back to that bridle shop from the day before, so Fleur and Gabriella can be fitted for their gowns.”

Sara-Jane took a sip of her ice tea with lemon, before she added “Plus we need to check in and see if they managed to find the right shade for my mum’s and your mum’s, and Mrs. Weasley’s two piece suits.”

She bit into her vanilla and cream pastry before commenting “We might have to pay extra in order for the dress maker to make the extra gowns to be ready when the others are.”

She took another sip of her ice tea, and finished “I’m certain she and her assistants would have already made start on our wedding gowns, and Ginny, Blaise, and Tonks’s gowns.”

Mrs. Weasley said “Plus you girls need to take care of the invitations tonight with Barty and Sirius. And then tomorrow we need to find a caterer.” She then took a sip of her own iced raspberry flavoured tea.

Stephanie asked “Speaking of the caterer. Have you two girls decided on what the menu is going to consist of, and of course the joint wedding cake? Have Barty and Sirius approved?”

Hermione shook her head and replied “No. We are going to discuss that later on tonight after dinner, before we tackle the invitations.” She added “Perhaps if we can get the men to agree to an edible menu quickly enough, then we may have time to consider tackling the invitation design the same night.”

Mean while in muggle London, Barty, Sirius, Remus, Harry, and Hermione and Sara-Jane’s fathers, along with the Weasley men, were being fitted and measured for Suits.

Sirius asked “What colour ties did the girls say they wanted us get to go with the Suits again?” Sirius hissed and glared at the tailor, who had accidentally poked him again with the pins, for the third time in the last twenty minutes.

Sirius admitted the first and second times was his fault, but the third sure as hell hadn’t been. Barty smirked, seeing as he hadn’t had been accidentally and painfully poked as of yet.

Barty replied to Sirius’s question “I’m having gold, while you’re having silver. Harry is having silver like you, and Remus is going to have gold like me. Hermione’s father, Jack, and Sara-Jane’s father Ryan, and the others of course, are having a dark shade of blue, to match the girl’s pale blue gowns.”

Sirius nodded and added “I presume the same can be said for the waist coats as well?” Barty nodded confirming what Sirius said to be correct. He added “Although Hermione did mention that she and Sara-Jane wanted the ties to be several shades darker then the waist coats.”

Sirius finished “Sara-Jane informed me this morning that I’m getting a yellow rose, as is Harry. Jack, Ryan, and the Weasley’s are wearing white roses. And Hermione she mentioned that she wanted you to have a red rose, along with Remus.”

Everyone was measured for a black pinstripe suits. That consisted of pants and knee cap length coats. They chose two lightly patterned gold waist coats for Barty and Remus with matching ties, and two matching silver waist coats and ties for Sirius and Harry.

The other guys chose identical blue waist coats and darker matching ties. Plus all were provided with a top hat, a silk white shirt, and finally black polished dress shoes.

Once everything was paid for, the tailor informed them that their order would be ready to be collected two days before the actually wedding.
