Wedding of Edward Tonks and Andromeda Black

""Andromeda was my favourite cousin. No, Andromeda's not on here either, look. Andromeda's sisters are still here because they made lovely, respectable pure-blood marriages, but Andromeda married a Muggle-born, Ted Tonks, so —"

- Andromeda married Ted The wedding of Edward Tonks and Andromeda Black took place sometime in the 1960s. This marriage resulted in Andromeda being disowned and burned off the Black family tapestry. One result of this union came in the form of the couple's only child, Nymphadora Tonks.

Prelude
At some point during or after her education at Hogwarts, Andromeda met and subsequently fell in love with Muggle-born wizard Edward Tonks, despite her family's steadfast belief in the importance of blood purity.

Wedding
At some point Ted asked Andromeda to marry him and she must have excepted. Nothing is known about the wedding or the reception that followed. It can be assumed that close friends attended and possibly Ted's family as well, but not Andromeda's.

Marriage
In 1973 after the wedding and around the age of twenty, the couple had one child, Nymphadora. Andromeda selected the name, which her daughter strongly disliked and preferred to be known simply as "Tonks". Ted, Remus Lupin, and Andromeda called her Dora for short.

The Ministry soon began persecuting Muggle-borns by forming the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, which charged Muggle-borns with having stolen their magic and their wands from "real" witches and wizards. Ted refused to register on principle and was forced to go on the run. Andromeda as a pure-blood, was safe and stayed with their pregnant daughter. Some time before the birth of her grandson Teddy, Andromeda was left a widow, as Ted was murdered by Snatchers.
