"It didn't take me very long to get my first draft written," Hermione says with a grin. She's always been the sort of person to take a challenge head-on, and to get things accomplished as quickly as she can. "But... I definitely continued to make edits for weeks. About three days before the wedding, I decided that I didn't really want to follow a sheet of paper, that I would simply speak in the moment. Since I'd agonized over the vows for so long, I already had a fair amount of it in my head, but I didn't stick to the letter. I don't think that should be the point."

She laughs, stepping over to the closest table, not wanting to put too much strain on their feet before the dances that would round out the evening. "And, if you promise not to tease Ron about it, I actually came across him yesterday, poring over a piece of parchment. If you ask me to guess, I'm assuming he didn't finish writing his vows until last night. Or this morning. So it really depends. Whatever is most comfortable for you, I'd say, is best."
