Ah yay, getting such a lovely comment as the very first one is just wonderful (I'd forgotten how nerve-wracking posting the first chapter of a brand new story is!!). Certainly not weird, I promise :)
It's really interesting that you say this chapter felt like a different story! I wanted it to feel a little like a fantasy, like Remus & Tonks' big sparkly happy ending - partly to begin the story on a high (it was fun to write them so happy), partly because that is Tonks' perception. A wedding isn’t an ending of course, it’s a beginning and reality will start biting soon enough.
So pleased you liked the veil and swimming - you're so right about the symbolism there. Remus being tempted into doing crazy things also reminded me of his relationship with the Marauders.
Good question regarding Tonks and motherhood. My personal opinion is that Tonks would never have *planned* to have a baby so she's being genuinely truthful with Remus here.
Milkman!! I really loved that book (this isn't the first time our reading habits have crossed over, is it?) It got some flack for being “difficult” but I actually found it very readable and I loved the dark humour. Let me know what you think!
