Order Only

[alt_rachel]

Bill and I have an announcement to make, and since the next full-Order meeting is a ways off we decided to use the journals.

We were married on Friday.

We told Molly at dinner today (and the Twins, and Charlie) and hopefully the owls to Ginny and Ron arrived before they see this?

It's not a secret or anything, we told my mum (who's a bit inexpert at keeping secrets, at least from that gaggle of fellow housewives she calls her knitting circle) but we did want to tell the Order before we fill out the change-of-family-status forms for our jobs at the Ministry on Monday!

I'm still pinching myself because I can hardly believe it, but I'm so thrilled.

[alt_fred]

Another hip hip hurrah from both of us.

You do realise, Rachel, that you're family now? That makes you fair game for pranks.

[alt_bill]

As long as you realise you're taking your lives in your own hands. She is an auror.

[alt_luna]

Congratulations!

I hope you wore something yellow. Yellow is so lucky for weddings!

Are you Mrs Weasley now, or are you still Ms Lamont? Or Ms Brodie, really?

[alt_kingsley]

You know, the first time I saw you, sitting on that desk, cool as a cucumber with Bill saying, 'Don't hex her!' and then Bill let you hex HIM so you could save some doomed girls....

Well, I had a feeling about you wild and crazy kids.

Congratulations.

[alt_bill]

That was a helluva introduction, wasn't it?

[alt_rachel]

Oh, yeah. Clearly, it was destiny.

[alt_sally_anne]

Congratulations!

[alt_kingsley]

Keep him on his toes, my friend. That's what he needs.

[alt_terry]

Oh, wow, congratulations!

[alt_pansy]

What wonderful news!

Congratulations.

[alt_frank]

congratulations to the both of you.

[alt_alice]

Indeed! All the best wishes to the two of you.

[alt_daphne]

Congratulations! I'm very happy for both of you.

Private Message to Rachel and Bill

[alt_alice]

...And many thanks for the advanced notice. I wouldn't have minded this sort of surprise, but I appreciate the gesture.

I am so very glad for you both.

When I think of how far you've both come... I suppose Tonks was on to something when she called love transformative, wasn't she?

[alt_poppy]

Very best wishes!

[alt_ron]

Nice!

Not original, exactly, but good on you, anywiz.

Does this mean you can't be part of my training, though? I mean, blast. I'll be so disappointed not to be able to do an intensive in MEU. No chance to go into bean counting.

Erm.

Yeah. Congrats!

[alt_rachel]

There's no official rule against it, but we can probably use your status as 'brother-in-law' to maneuver you into other areas for your intensives.

I should've recruited F-F back when I had the chance, he's much more suited to MEU than most.

[alt_charlie]

Still having trouble figuring out the right words to show how happy I am for you both.

Welcome to the family, you.

[alt_sinistra]

Many congratulations, indeed.

Private Message to Daphs

[alt_pansy]

I overheard some chatter at dinner -- are the rumours true? If so, I believe some congratulations are in order for you as well.

Re: Private Message to Daphs

[alt_daphne]

Yes, they are. That's why I was gone this weekend.

Re: Private Message to Daphs

[alt_pansy]

He got approval and everything?

That's impressive.

And quite a testament to you, as well. On so many levels.

Congratulations, Daphne.

Re: Private Message to Daphs

[alt_daphne]

Thank you, but I've a feeling you're the only one from the Order who will extend me those well-wishes.

Well, they'll all find out soon enough.

Re: Private Message to Daphs

[alt_pansy]

I very much hope that isn't the case.

I just know your wedding is going to be absolutely lovely, seeing as how you'll be the one planning it.
