Their wedding was two months away from the time when Severus proposed, plenty of time to plan a wedding, but Lucius did not think so. He had grown tired of his friends reminding him he promised to tone it down, and stopped asking for any input from the grooms at all. Harry and Severus had control over their honeymoon only, and were planning on trying for a baby right away, for they were as anxious as Jamie was, to make him a big brother. Harry was still worried at times, but Severus reminded him neither of the children he had lost had been his fault, and with a proper husband, he need not worry alone.
The paper work had been drawn up and the attorneys assured Harry since he had full custody; no one could dispute him allowing Severus to adopt his son, even the Weasleys, for Ginny was gone. Severus told Harry had not needed it, for he would love Jamie as much as any child they may share, but Harry wanted them all Snapes. And Severus was over the moon, for as much as he meant he would support any decision Harry made, he wanted there to be no doubt Jamie was his son.
They were to be married the first weekend in July, so they could be back from a honeymoon, for his birthday. Harry knew he was not even a widower for a year till August but he had the support and encouragement of his family and friends, and he could not wait.
Oliver clapped him on the back as they headed for his bachelor party. “You know I am much happier to be part of tomorrow then I was for your last wedding.”
Harry smiled.”I am happier as well. I am happy you agreed to stand up for me with George.”
Oliver had been at the wedding, but not part of it, last time for he had all of his brothers, for he and Ginny did the traditional, same sex attendants He loved Percy, but had never been as close to him, and though Percy was honoured to be invited, he understood Harry’s choice, and reminded him he was last time. George was the official witness, and Remus would walk him down the aisle, but Oliver was happy to be involved. Actually he and Severus had three a piece, for Teddy would also be with him, and Severus had his new son, as well as Draco and Lucius to serve as his official.
George beamed when he came into the bar. “About time you got here. Thought you got cold feet and ran away.”
Harry laughed and shook his head. “You run away from the wedding, not from the bachelor party. But nothing will stop me from marrying him tomorrow.”
No one had seen Harry this happy, except when his babies were first placed in his arms, and it was jus another sign of why tomorrow was so right. There was not one in the bar who did not think Harry deserved this happiness finally, or so Harry believed.
Bill’s voice had come from behind.”So the rumours were true, I thought you had better respect for our sister. You are such a whore; you need a warm bed so bad.”
Harry turned to look at him.”I am in love and about to marry the man I loved, who has adopted my son. I am sorry my so called family can not support me in this.”
Bill had come into the bar with Charlie, for they had heard rumours Harry was in here for a bachelor party. They had thought it was surely a joke, for Harry would not marry so soon, but even without his words, they could see the ring on his hand.
Percy came over to his brothers.”You’re not welcome here. Harry deserves to be happy and I will not allow you two to ruin his day.”
George put a hand on his brother when the other two left “Don’t let them get to you; you know this is right for you. Those who matter, are happy for you.”
Smiling, Harry assured his brothers he was not about to allow anyone to try and ruin tonight, or tomorrow, for he had waited so long to be this happy. By his second drink he had forgotten about the others, and his mind was on the next day.
Jamie was with Severus, but Remus and Teddy, both his brothers and Oliver helped him dress, even if Percy soon went to join his wife and sons. Harry had no idea what to expect, but after the beautiful proposal in Rome, he knew to expect amazing. He got ready at Malfoy manor, but he was apparated after, to where they were to be married, and this time found himself at the top of tower bridge, in one of the enclosed walkways, with some of the most beautiful views of the city. There was enough room for an aisle, with two chairs to each side, and his groom and their witnesses at the other end, Jamie a little jumping bean as always.
The minister smiled. “We are gathered here to unite these two men in marriage. Who gives the junior member into this union?”
Remus smiled “His son and I do.”
“Do you Severus Tobias Snape, Lord Prince, take Harold as your husband and bond, united in body and soul till divided by death?”
“I do.”
“Do you Harold James Potter, Lord Potter-Black take Severus as your husband and bond, united in body and soul, till divided by death?”
“I do.”
Lucius handed a ring to Harry. “Take this ring and claim my brother as your husband while I stand witness.”
Harry slid the ring on.”With this ring I claim you as my husband and bond.”
George handed the ring to Severus. “Take this ring and claim my brother as your husband while I stand witness.”
Severus slid the ring on. “With this ring I claim you as my husband and bond.”
“By the powers that be I pronounce you husbands. Severus you may kiss your groom.”
Happily, Severus pulled Harry into his arms for a long warm kiss, as everyone else began to clap. Jamie jumped into their arms, and when they signed the forms they became Harry and Severus Snape, and Severus officially became Papa legally, a title Jamie started to call him since Rome.
The reception was officially in the beautiful Bridgemaster’s dinning room, with its beautiful history and views of the city, had needed little decoration. The only major was center pieces of lilies, and dinner felt food wise more like same relaxed cocktail party, then some stuffy wedding reception. The chairs were removed from the ceremony place for a dance area, even if an odd shape, and when the sun went down, was the best place for the views.
Jamie claimed Severus for the second dance. “I want to dance with Papa. No fair hogging him Daddy.”
Harry kissed his son. “I guess since I am stealing him for two weeks for a honeymoon, I will have to let you have him now.”
Harry happily danced with Andromeda, and he could not help but smile as he watched his husband an son dance. They were worried Jamie would not want to be left, but he had been assured by Grandpa they would have far more fun then some boring honeymoon. Besides he wanted his dads to work on making him a big brother.
Harry was amazed even in muggle London when there was a show of fireworks and George kissed his cheek “A reminder of those who can’t be with you today.”
The fireworks were Fred’s idea, and some of the works reminded him of other loved ones gone. “Thank you. This was a perfect ending for my wedding.”
After they cut the cake, and said their goodbyes, especially to Jamie, who reminded them to make him a big brother soon, which they hoped for as well. Harry had never felt like it with Ginny, and he could not wait to make love to Severus as his husband for the first time an when they returned, live together finally.
Severus kissed him when the portkey arrived “Welcome to Brazil my love.”
