Till Death Do Us Part

(I know it's in third person, but I'm doing first)

I was wearing an almost skin tight black dress and I walked up the red velvet steps. It can down past my ankles and started to flow at the bottom of my butt. The high heels were four inches, the tallest I had ever worn, but Isabella told me they look amazing. My red hair was left in elegant curls down my back. The best part was, I was holding the hand of the man I loved. Jace, with his golden hair and eyes, was wearing a black tux. We had been dating for four years now. It had its bumps, what with us both being Shadowhunters and all.

Tonight he was taking me to this new fancy restaurant in town, Shining Moon. It was specifically for Shadowhunters. He opened the door for me and I blush a little. I walked inside and he talked with the guy standing behind a podium.

"Follow me," the guy behind the podium said. We followed.

He led us to a table, it was pretty, and no one else was around. It had a chandelier handing down from the ceiling and the lights were dimmed a bit. Jace pulled out my chair for me and I sat down, then he sat down. I ordered just water and Jace did the same.

I smiled at him, "Do you like it?" he asked.

"Yes, it's pretty," I said.

Water came and Jace and I talked and talked. We couldn't shut up. I ordered spaghetti and it came out in twenty minutes. I finished eating and Jace did too. I saw him reach into his pocket, but I couldn't tell what he pulled out. Then he looked straight into my eyes, "Clary, you know I love you with my whole being right?" he asked.

"Yes," I answered without hesitation, though he was creeping me out.

"You know that you are my world right?"

"Yes," I answered then he got off his chair.

He came over to my seat and knelt down on one knee beside my chair and pulled out a ring. I gasped and he took my hands in his. I felt a burning sensation in my eyes. "Clarissa Fray, I promise to love you forever and even that won't be enough. I loved you when I first set eyes on you. You are everything to me, my world. Would you do me the honor of marrying me?" he asked.

"No," I said, trying to keep a straight face.

"No?" He asked, his face fell and he looked ready to, I don't even know.

"I'm kidding," I said quickly, putting my hand on his shoulder. "I just wanted to mess with you. Of course I will marry you!" He smiled

NINE MONTHS LATER
"Okay Clary, ready?" asked Isabella, pulling my wedding dress into the bathroom. It was strapless, and flowed out at the waist. It was gold too, traditional Shadowhunter wedding attire. It was my favorite. She helped me into my dress and fastened the pale gold, satin buttons on the back. She handed me a pair of earrings with small diamonds set into them. Then she reached around me and pulled out a pair of eight inch high heels. I groaned.

"Isabelle! If I wear those I will surely fall on Jace as soon as I get up there and break something," I complained, eying the shoes warily.

"Fine!" She grumbled, but instead pulled out a pair of sandals, "But only because I don't want your big day ruined."

I slid the cool sandals onto my warm feet, it felt good. They felt like satin. I felt my stomach flutter with nervousness. "Come on!" Isabelle said tugging on my sweaty hand, "I think I hear the music, you're not going to be late for your wedding."

I laughed a bit and let her tug me along. We went into the backyard of the Institute and I saw the decorations. The flowers were red like my hair and there was gold sating rolled out of the green grass for me to walk on. Isabelle and Maryse had planned almost the whole thing. Isabelle handed me a bouquet of red and gold flowers, they smelled like fresh rain. I shakily stepped onto the silk. Isabelle went first as the music played, she looked like a goddess walking down the aisle. Finally, the traditional wedding ballot started to play, since I had half of my life not knowing about Shadowhunters Jace thought it would be good to include some of the mundane ways. Everyone stood up and looked back at me for the light gold pews. I took a shaky breath and made my way down the aisle. I looked around and my eyes made their way to the most beautiful face the world could know. Jace Herondale.

I stepped up the small stairs and was under an arch made of flowers. I handed my sweet smelling flowers to Isabelle and she smiled encouragingly at me. Maryse was right in front of us, she was going to the traditional ceremony. Jace took my shaky hands in his cool strong ones and flash me a brilliant smile, I blushed. Then Maryse started talking. Jace and I pulled out our steles.

"For love is stronger than death, set a seal upon thy partners heart," Maryse said and Jace and I repeated it.

First Jace, "For love is stronger than death, set a seal upon thy partners heart," and he pulled back my flaming hair and traced the ruin for love and commitment right over where my heart would be. Unlike regular runes this one didn't burn, it felt like being wrapped in love and strength.

I said the words next, my voice strong, "For love is stronger than death, set a seal upon thy partners heart," and I unbuttoned part of the shirt and traced the same rune on his chest. My hand as I traced the rune felt strong and sure. I felt my love for Jace flowing into that rune. All of what I felt, how I felt, and most importantly how much he meant to me. I looked at him and he smiled at me again.

"For thy love on my heart is like no other. Shall we be bound by this rune until death do us part," Maryse said and indicated for us to repeat it in unison. We did.

"For thy love on my heart is like no other. Shall we be bound by this rune until death do us part," we said together, and then the mundane part came.

"You may now kiss the bride," Maryse smiled.

Jace cupped my face carefully and slowly went in for the kiss. On the other hand I was just way to impatient. I met him halfway to the kiss and wrapped my hands around his neck. He jumped in surprise, but kiss me anyway. We untangled ourselves from each other and everyone clapped. Even the Silent Brothers who were sitting in the back row with the Iron Sisters. I twined our fingers together and walked back down the satin on the yard.

That night was most magical. We kissed and did a few unmentionable things, but all the while I could still feel the love swirling inside of me. I was married, but not for long.

How was it? I've been writing this for a while trying to get it just perfect for you. I've decided to do little flicks at the end.

Jace: Well I guess I can't blame you for wanting to kiss me. I am hot.

Clary: (blushing) I-I only did it to get it over with. The Silent Brothers were creeping me out (not convincingly)

Jace: Sure, whatever you say babe.

Simon: Really Clary, you married an idiot.

Clary: Did not!

Simon: Did too!

Jace: You're just jealous of my hotness.

Simon: ...

Clary: Oh would you both just shut up!

Simon: I didn't say anything!

Jace: I WIN!

Clary: (shakes head in annoyance) Boys! (groans)
