Walking down the unpaved paths of the Settlement was a great deal easier than Alicia could have feared. The music somehow kept her on her toes, literally, and one of the Babas had perform the small stroke of genius, when she had cast a ward on the hem of Alicia’s dress, ensuring that it wouldn’t drag along the ground. She let Viktor guide her as she looked up at him, marvelling how this proud, solid man fit so perfectly into the elated mood with the loud voices and the festive music. But he did. He was so vibrant and alive, looking happier than she could remember having seen him outside of their home, and good Godric, this was the man she was about to marry!
She had just spotted Kingsley, waiting for them in front of the church, when Viktor drew her close. With a delighted laugh, she looped her arms around his neck, looking down into his beautiful, dark eyes as he spun them around. She felt light and free and only the thought that their next kiss wouldn’t be until they were married, kept her from dipping her head down to show him just how much she wanted him right now. Instead she nodded. “A few more steps,” she grinned back, nodding. “Let’s go do this. I don’t want to wait any longer.”
Once again back on the ground, Alicia smiled as first her mum, then Sam kissed her cheek and went to join Viktor’s team mates, and take their places as her family in this. She smiled up at Viktor and gave his hand a squeeze before they began their walk towards the church and up the stairs. Seeing how each one of his team mates were standing there, supporting them in all this, made her take a deep breath; she was not going to cry today, at least not because they had wonderful people in their lives.
And then they were standing in front of Kingsley, and this was it. She beamed up at Viktor, before she looked up at Kingsley. Supposedly, brides were supposed to be blushing, at least that was the impression Alicia had gotten, but try as she might, she couldn’t keep her smile demure or blushing. There was simply no room for that, and really? Why shouldn’t she show how happy she was today?
