The crowd of the progression, the noise level, was nothing unusual for a traditional Bulgarian wedding but it resonated differently here. He once again thought of his parents, but only briefly. The sun was shining in Alicia's smile, and that was all that mattered, his wife and their future together. Her radiant smile warmed his heart and he grinned when she replied, noticing that her inflection was getting better.

Although the pace of the procession was quick, Viktor was mindful not to overstep his stride since Alicia was wearing heels. Dancers occasionally branched off to invite bystanders into the group all the way to the church. Viktor's smile broadened when they turned the corner and the converted building came into view. He could see Shacklebolt standing by the door, there to give his 'official' seal on the union.

Viktor slowed his step, drawing Alicia close in as he turned, spinning her in a small circle with a deep chuckle to the cheers and clapping of his friends. "Only few step more," he said, grinning, as the singing began to die down, though the dancers showed no signs of slowing. Viktor made sure her step was solid again before restarting their walk toward the church as his teammates broke away from the crowd to race ahead, taking their places on either side of the stairs leading up to the church.

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?
