"I know we said we would not be doing vows, but I did have something I wanted to tell you," he said. Hermione’s breath hitched and she nodded. "Hermione, it is no secret that our past was tumultus and trying, to say the least. I promise, that as we enter forth in this marriage, all of my energy will be dedicated to you and proving to you that I am not who I used to be, and that above all else, family is the most important thing to me. As my family, I hope that you and I are able to build something more powerful, magical, and loving, than either of us could fathom. You are radiant, and perfect, and I will spend my life trying to prove myself to you. I hope from here on, our lives will be spent moving forward, together."
