Clary's POV

I sit in my room thinking about how my life has changed in such a short period of time. I mean two and a half years ago I thought I was just a normal teenager until that night in Pandemonium, thinking there was nothing special about me. Now I know the truth about the shadow world and am living the life I was born for. Two and a half years ago I thought that at this point in my life the biggest problem for me would be finding the perfect prom dress and what was I going to do after graduation, not planning my wedding to the love of my life while wondering if he even still loved me. Isabelle had noticed how I had been feeling so with her help I devised a plan to see if Jace still loved me as much as he said he did. I went to bed ready to put the plan in to action.

~The Next Morning~

I woke up refreshed and ready for the day. I am praying the plan works. I got out of bed, got dressed, and headed down to the kitchen for breakfast. On my way down I almost ran into Isabelle.

"Are you ready?" Izzy asked.

"I have to be" I said as we arrived at the kitchen.

"Morning ladies" Alec said as we sat down. Jace seemed to not notice.

"Morning Alec" Izzy and I said. Izzy looked at me and I nodded.

"Are you sure about this Clary?" Izzy asked.

"I am, my mother was right" I said.

"If you're sure I'll go with you" Izzy said.

"I couldn't ask you to do that." I said.

"I am offering, after all it's the last time I'll see you" Izzy said.

"Me too Clary, I know we didn't start of on the good but I wouldn't miss you leaving" Alec said being in on it as well.

"Thanks guys" I said looking at Jace who looked interested in the conversation. I smiled knowing that it was working. Breakfast continued without a sound.

Isabelle's PoV

During breakfast I noticed Jace suddenly gain interest in the conversation once Alec said Clary would be leaving. After that nobody has seen or heard from Jace and it's now passed lunch time. It's not like that boy to miss a meal. I was on my way to the training room for my afternoon workout before having to get Clary ready for her date that she was sure wouldn't happen. Just then I was pulled into another hallway by somebody although I was sure I knew who it was.

"What do you want Jace?" I asked my brother.

"What were you talking about at breakfast?" Jace asked. I debated whether I should tell him or have Clary do it. I knew it wasn't my place to say.

"Why don't you go find your fiancée and find out" I said and walked away. Right as I arrived at the training room I turned to see Jace run up the stairs towards his and Clary's room.

Clary's PoV

I paced around the room. I couldn't believe what I was doing. I was about to tell the love of my life the biggest lie in the world. Part of me wondered if he would even believe it. Just then the door opened and Jace walked into the room.

"What the hell is going on?" Jace asked as the he pushed the door closed. I was nervous hoping my voice would work.

"What are you talking about?" I asked acting like I had no idea what he was talking about.

"You know what I am talking about, your conversation with Izzy and Alec at breakfast this morning" Jace said sounding annoyed.

"Oh that, I'm heading to Idris in the morning" I said.

"And why would that be?" Jace asked.

"To end the pain and suffering" I said. Jace looked at me confused. I decided to continue.

"You see I am in love with this boy and for the last few months it has felt like he no longer loves me the way he says he does, so I am heading to meet with the clave to be stripped of my Runes and have my memories of this world completely taken away so I will not have to forever live with the pain of losing my true love" I said.

"What makes you think that he doesn't love you anymore?" Jace asked looking directly into my eyes.

"Well he acts like he wants nothing to do with me. He never sits by me, touches me, and when we sleep he curls up as far away from me as he can without falling off the bed" I said.

"Does he make you feel the like you are the only two on the planet?" Jace asked.

"He used to, now I feel like he is just stringing me along until someone better comes along" I said. Jace looked like he had had enough of this conversation.

"Well if that's how you feel why are you planning on marring me then?" Jace asked misunderstanding me and starting to yell.

"More like if that is how YOU feel, why are you going to marry ME then?" I asked straight out yelling at him.

"I am getting ready to marry the most amazing person I have ever met, but it seems like she doesn't want me" Jace said yelling also.

"You're kidding me right I want to marry YOU, and spend the rest of my life with YOU but I am not sure you still want ME" I yelled towards him.

"Of course I want to marry you, there is NO ONE in the world I'd rather spend forever with" Jace said still yelling.

"Well then you have a horrible way of showing it then" I yelled. Just then Jace stepped towards me and I drew breath to say something when I felt his lips crash onto mine. The kiss wasn't like the kisses we've shared recently; it was like the ones that felt like he was pouring all his love for me into the one little action like he used to do all the time.

"If I didn't want you, would I kiss you like that?" Jace asked after we pulled apart for air. I shook my head not being able to speak after that kiss.

"What do you want me to do?" Jace asked.

"I want for you to show me how much you love me" I said. With that Jace kissed me again. Within seconds it had turned into a heated make out. Jace picked me up and walked us over to the bed and laid me down with him guiding himself down on top of me. He continued to kiss me as his hands guided themselves up my sides under my shirt. Jace suddenly pulled away from our kiss. I was going to draw breath to ask why he quit when suddenly my shirt was being lifted over my head and tossed onto the floor. I decided to get even so I ripped his shirt off of him and tossed it onto the floor with mine. We took turns ridding each other of clothing one piece at a time. In no time at all we were both free of the clothes that were becoming restricting. Jace looked at me with love and lust in his eyes. That night he made the sweetest love to me and in that time I realized just how much he loved me. An hour later we lay in bed tangled up in each other.

"Please don't go to Idris tomorrow, I'd never survive without you" Jace said breaking the silence.

"I never was going to, the whole thing was Izzy's idea to see if you still loved me" I said.

"I'm sorry about making you question my love for you" Jace said suddenly.

"Why did you act so distant?" I asked looking up into his gold eyes.

"I was scared you were going to walk away from me" Jace said.

"I would never do that, I could never handle the pain of being without you" I said and kissed him.

"Neither could I" Jace said and kissed me again.

~Six weeks later~

Today is the big day. After that night six weeks ago Jace was always by my side and showing me just how much he cared for me. I woke up in my room and my mom and Luke's apartment. This was the last time I would wake up as Clary Fray. Tonight I would forever be Clary Herondale nothing sounded better than that. Just then there was a knock more like pounding on my door.

"Wake up Clary, we have less than six hours until your wedding" I heard Izzy yell through the door.

"Seriously get up" I heard my mother yell.

"I'm up let me take a shower before you break my door down" I said getting out of bed.

"Ten minutes" I heard Maia say and the three of them walked away. I ran to the bathroom knowing they were serious. Eight minutes later I was out of the shower and was sitting in front of my vanity with my hair in a towel and wearing worn out clothes. Just as I figured the girls walked into my room.

"Okay, five and a half hours to make you the prettiest bride ever" Izzy said. Four hours later I was finally able to look at myself.

"You look stunning" Izzy said.

"Now time for the dress" Maia said walking over me with my garment bag I had handing by my closet. I walked back into my bathroom and changed into my golden wedding dress. I walked out and the girls were staring at me and I thought their eyes were going to pop out of their heads.

"Do I look that bad?" I asked worried.

"No you look absolutely stunning" Izzy said.

"I agree" Mom said.

"Well you all need to change" I said. The girls scrambled and grabbed their dresses and changed in a flash. Just then there was a knock at the door.

"We need to head to Central Park" Luke said opening the door.

"How does she look?" Mom asked her husband as he walked into the room.

"The way any bride would dream of" Luke said walking over to me and offered me his arm. I smiled at him and greatly accepted it. We left the apartment and walked down the street where the carriage would be waiting. We were half way to the carriage when suddenly I saw Berlin one of the popular girls from my old school.

"Wow Fray you actually look nice, where are you going?" Berlin asked.

"Thanks I guess, and I am off to my wedding" I said.

"Who would want to marry you?" Berlin asked back to her mean self.

"Only the greatest guy in the world" Izzy said.

"Yeah, and I'm ugly. Nobody would ever marry her" Berlin said.

"Look, believe what you want, I am no longer part of your petty world" I said and walked away. We arrived at the carriage and rode in silence to Central Park. As soon as we arrived I saw all the guests sitting in the chairs with Jace, Alec, and Simon standing up at the altar with the priest who would marry us. Mom and Luke walked ahead to tell everyone it was time to start.

"No cold feet?" Izzy asked.

"No" I said.

"Well let's go get you married then" Maia said as we walked to the back of the isle. Within minutes Luke was by my side and the girls were walking down in front of me.

"Congratulations" Luke said as the music changed. We walked down the aisle and as soon as we turned the corner all eyes were on me but all I could see was Jace. Once we arrive at the end of the aisle Luke kissed my cheek and gave my hand to Jace. He helped me up the step to the makeshift stage and we turned to the priest. He spoke as any priest would at a mundane wedding for about ten minutes and suddenly pulled a stele out of his pocket.

"Take this and draw the rune of marriage and everlasting love over the others heart. Remember that with this comes great responsibility and a promise to love and cherish each other till death" the priest said as we drew the runes. When I finished I handed the stele back to him and he put it away.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride" the priest said and Jace kissed me like it was the first time we had ever kissed. That night we returned to the institute and retired to our room.

"Good night Jace" I said climbing into bed now wearing my favorite pjs consisting of Jace's shirt and a pair of shorts.

"Good night Clary Herondale" Jace said climbing into bed next to me.

"I love the sound of that" I said snuggling into my husband.

"Me too" Jace said as he turned out the light.
