Wedding of James Potter I and Lily Evans

The wedding of James Potter I and Lily Evans took place sometime between the summer of 1978 and the autumn of 1979. Their close friend Sirius Black served as best man.

Wedding
Lily's sister Petunia did not attend for she was highly against Lily being a witch and marrying a wizard. It is highly likely that Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew attended, as they were good friends of James. They had a quiet wedding, as this was during the First Wizarding War. Neither of James's parents attended the wedding as both were deceased, it is unknown as to whether either of Lily's parents attended the wedding.

Aftermath
Following their marriage, James and Lily moved into Godric's Hollow. They then defied Lord Voldemort three times. On 31 July, 1980, James and Lily had their only child: Harry James Potter. Albus Dumbledore put the Fidelius Charm on the Potters' house to protect them. Their first secret Keeper was Sirius Black, but this was shortly changed to Peter Pettigrew after Sirius convinced them to change, as little Peter would be a less likely target for Voldemort to assume.

James and Lily made Sirius Harry's godfather. Peter betrayed the Potters' location to Lord Voldemort out of cowardice. On the night of 31 October, 1981, Voldemort went to the Potters' house to murder them, Harry especially, as he believed he would be fulfilling a Prophecy and eliminating his biggest threat. He murdered James, then Lily. Harry survived Voldemort's killing curse, while Voldemort's powers were destroyed and his mangled soul fled the scene.
