Carol responds:

Yes, I'm banking on this one and hoping for Figgy to show her magical
abilities at last. (I hope she doesn't die in the process.) I'm also
very curious as to what kind of role Snape will play. Assuming tht
he's there, how can he help the good guys without giving himself away?
And how can he avoid doing harm? (Needless to say, I think he's DDM.)

Carol:
Here's the one point on which I disagree with you in this post. I
don't think there's going to be a big, fancy wedding. That would be
foolish in the extreme, inviting trouble. If it's held at the
Weasleys, which is apparently quite secluded, Hagrid and Madame Maxime
could attend, minus ze carriage and ze 'orses, along with the Weasleys
(minus Percy), Harry, Hemione, Lupin, Tonks, and a few other Order
members. And Gabrielle as a flower girl, so Fleur's mother would need
(and want) to be there. But that's as many guests and participants as
they really need. 

The only questionable element, IMO, is the man in black to perform the
service. Would they need someone like the man who conducted
Dumbledore's funeral, or can they marry themselves in a Lighter
version of the Unbreakable Vow (let's not take "Till death us do part"
too literally!). At any rate, I think as few people as possible will
be invited, rather like Harry's christening but not so extreme.
(Wonder what became of the minister or whatever the WW equivalent may
be who performed that ceremony?)

Carol, hoping that the Weasley wedding will indeed be a moment of
unblighted happiness before the darkness to come, as Ron predicted
