What: They are getting married
Where: Parkinson Estate
When: 29th of April, 2000
Rating/Status: G; On-Going
The wedding was finally here. Everything had been prepared and the estate was in a sort of lock down. Ron was completely paranoid, thinking that some Death Eater wannabe would attack. For that reason, they had private security and quite a few of them were Aurors who had the day off. On the other hand, Pansy had the house elves ready to intervene in case that something went wrong. She had instructed them to Apparate out of the estate any guest who caused trouble and bar them re-entry.
Anti-apparition jinx prevented anyone from apparating into the grounds or the estate, but they could only reach the gates. They would be met by security who would let in only people on the guest list and a guest. Any man not wearing a dress robe or any woman not wearing a dress robe or a gown would not be granted access. After being allowed in, the guests would be escorted to the house on carriages. If they so chose, they could walk. On the way over, they would see the animals that lived at the estate, which included elephants, giraffes, rhinos and zebras. Inside the house, only the second floor was open to guests with the salon, the dress corridor, the great hall and the three bathrooms. Anyone tried to anywhere else would be Apparated out of the house.
Once inside, they would go up the staircase to the second floor and into the salon, where rows of chairs were placed on each side of the aisle. Anyone arriving after the ceremony had started would be asked to wait into the dress corridor.
Ron and Harry were dressed in dark charcoal robes that had been spelled with different undertones to match their eye colors. If anyone were to guess the exact colour, they wouldn't be able to. The same could be said of Draco's robe which looked a lot more blue than the other two. Tracey looked radiant in her gown Then again, Tracey could pull off anything with her skin.
Pansy looked radiant in her dress. She'd never had any intention of wearing white. The colour looked horrible against her white skin. More importantly white dresses were a horrible trend started by a Muggle queen. Some called it tradition, but with their life span, a hundred and fifty years was barely a trend, certainly not a tradition, and Pansy had no intention of following what a Muggle had started. Instead she followed the real traditions of wedding gowns where the bride carried the colours of her house. She added her own twist. If Ron could wear a robe with green undertones, she could wear his colours and it just happened that red looked amazing against her skin.
The ceremony was as traditional as they came. Draco gave away the bride, there was nothing made up, no impromptu speeches, there were a husband and a wife who took each other to have and to hold for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. The vows were recited as golden strings magically wrapped around their wrists and the officiant pronounced them bonded for life.
The party was held in the Great Hall. The ceiling had been spelled to show the moon and the stars. Red and white roses decorated the long tables. They had forgone assigned seating, allowing the chance for people to move around. In fact, all plate sets would magically cleaned and replaced when someone got up. There were trays floating with champagne. White and red wines as well as water and juices were on the tables, refilled as soon as they finished.
The menu was varied. There were two displays of hors d’oeuvres: a display on marble of imported cheeses, grapes, berries,and hand cut fresh fruit, French bread, and gourmet crackers and a second one with crudités with assorted dips. Includes an array of fresh vegetables parred and
artfully displayed with a trio of dipping sauces. The passing hors d'oeuvre included prosciutto beggars purses stuffed with truffled mascarpone cheese, gold potato puree with caviar and crème Fraîche, paper cones of mixed regular and sweet potato fries, grilled truffle infused cheese with fig jam and white truffle honey, smoked salmon and chive cream crepes, roasted lamb loin on olive bread with oven dried tomatoes, lobster spring rolls with a five-spice dipping sauce, grilled porcini mushrooms on Parmesan and Cracked Pepper shortbread.
The amuse bouch included osetra caviar, blini, creme fraiche, chopped red onion, quail egg. The first course included choices of squash risotto with sage and Parmesan cheese or roasted heirloom beets, herbed goat cheese and frisee with toasted hazelnuts and citrus-shallot vinaigrette. The second course consisted of pumpkin ravioli with hazelnut-brown butter sauce and crispy sage. The entrees included short ribs with Sherry-mushroom sauce; butter poached lobster with cara-cara orange, buerre blanc; dauphinoise potatoes; asparagus bundle, roasted stuffed chicken; brioche, herbs, sautéed spinach, chicken jus and potato puree or grilled filet mignon with confit heirloom cherry tomatoes, sautéed spinach, Parmesan horseradish tuille and potato galette.
The dessert included miniature pumpkin pies, vanilla bean creme brulee tarts, fresh fruit skewers, chocolate covered pumpkin cheesecake “truffles”, warm Valhrona chocolate cakes with whipped cream and spun sugar, tiramisu cups with edible chocolate spoons, ice cream of assorted flavours, and assorted chocolate truffles.
Finally the wedding cake. As promised, it was covered in chocolate. It was hazelnut chiffon soaked with frangelico syrup, filled with dense chocolate mousse, chocolate buttercream icing and enrobed in chocolate ganache and modeling chocolate with gold colored white chocolate decorations. The topper ended up being George's creation, with a snake and a lion made of light would hiss and roar as the cake was cut. They also got closer as pieces of cake were taken away until they were one.
Finally, at the end of the night, guests would be able to see the fireworks created by George. They were mostly of magical animals, with lots of red, green, blue, white, silver and gold. There was a set of fireworks that mimicked the cake topper. The final act was a griffin spreading its wings. After the fireworks, guests would be escorted back to the gates where they could apparate home.
