Sorry, it took so long for me to update. I've been super busy.
Thanks, somuchfandomsolittletime and PhantomxK for reviewing.
Also, Intoxic suggested that I write a chapter about wedding preparations, so here's the preparations and wedding.
Wedding
Magnus Bane was freaking out. Today was February 14th, 2016 and he was getting married. When Alec proposed last June, Magnus was ecstatic. However, the closer his wedding date got, the more scared he became. He'd never had a serious relationship. Sure he'd had lovers in the past, but he didn't marry any of them. Alec was first.
Even though Magnus was frightened, he knew he wouldn't back out. Alec was different from his past lovers and Magnus loved the idea of growing old with him and adopting kids. He truly loved Alec. The only thing that scared him was knowing that one day, Alec would die. One day, his husband, the love of his life, would be gone. And Magnus couldn't go with him.
"Magnus?" Magnus turned and saw Izzy standing in the doorway to his room. She was wearing a gold one shoulder knee length dress and her long black hair was French Braided. Izzy was their Maid of Honor while Clary and Tessa were the other bridesmaids. Thier dresses were similar to Izzy's except for the fact that they were longer, going down to the floor instead of their knees.
"Hey," Magnus managed a small smile.
Izzy had been a great help in planning the wedding. She had taken charge which Magnus was thankful for since Alec had no sense of fashion and Izzy normally sided with him. At first, Alec had wanted to do a December wedding with shades of blue for the color scheme. Magnus had agreed, but then Alec's mother had stepped in.
Maryse and Robert hadn't really been open to Magnus and Alec's relationship. They were both old-fashioned and wanted grandchildren, something they didn't think they would get with their other two children since they were both players. However, they truly wanted their son to be happy and would've overlooked the fact that he was marrying a guy and couldn't have children once it became obvious Jace and Clary were getting married. The only thing they didn't like was Magnus. A warlock, a Downworlder, who loved sparkles and glitter.
Eventually, Maryse agreed to come to the wedding, but only if they incorporated Shadowhunter customs. When Alec asked her what she meant, she explained that she wanted the wedding colors to be gold and any other color as was proper and to somehow incorporate the line from the Book of Solomon used when Marking each other.
After a long discussion, Izzy and Magnus decided to have the wedding on Valentine's Day which would help explain why pink was added in the color scheme. Alec wasn't too happy about having pink at his wedding, but he caved after getting the puppy eyes from his sister and Magnus.
"Are you ready?" Izzy asked. Magnus nodded and then shook his head. "Magnus?"
"I don't know if I can do this," Magnus confessed.
"What do you mean?" Izzy moved to sit next to him on the bed.
"I can't lose him," Magnus whispered. "We're getting married and we'll grow old together, except I'll look the same way I looked one hundred years ago. I'll never age and eventually Alec will die and leave me alone."
"It's worth it," another voice spoke up from the doorway. Tessa walked across Magnus' bedroom to sit on the other side of the bed. "It hurt to lose Will and I ran because I didn't want to watch my kids die, but it's worth it. He's worth it."
"I know," Magnus sighed. "I'm just scared."
"Don't be," Tessa said firmly. "Now let's go get married."
Alec was standing at the altar. He wore his black ceremonial gear with golden runes and Izzy had gelled his hair. He was nervous. His mother and father sat in the front, a frown on his father's face.
The ceremony started with Stephen, Jace and Clary's one-year-old, walking down the aisle with the rings accompanied by his parents. Jace wore a black tux with a gold tie and Clary her bridesmaid dress. They went to their places and were followed by Tessa and Jem and Izzy and Simon. As each person came up, the butterflies in Alec's stomach fluttered faster. However, all Alec's worries went away when he saw Magnus. We wore a black tux with a golden, sparkly tie and his black hair was tied back with a ribbon. He looked handsome. Catarina Loss walked him down the aisle and many of the Shadowhunters his parents insisted on inviting glared at her. However, she and Magnus held their heads high. Catarina handed Magnus to Alec before sitting down and the ceremony began.
Magnus and Alec had at first been at a loss for what to do for their vows. Alec's mother wanted him to add a quote from the Book of Solomon and Magnus didn't really want to add a religious theme to their wedding. After much searching, they found vows that would work for them even though they wouldn't be able to add the verse from the Book of Solomon.
"We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Magnus Bane and Alexander Lightwood," the minister announced. "If you object to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace."
The hall was silent and so their minister continued.
"We will start by reciting vows and exchanging rings. Alec, please repeat after me. Today, Magnus..."
"Today, Magnus," Alec stated softly. The rest of the vow continued in this fashion. With Alec repeating: "I join my life in yours, not merely as your husband, but as your friend, your lover, and your confidant. Let me be the shoulder you lean on, the rock on which you rest, the companion of your life. With you I will walk my path from this day forward."
Alec then placed Magnus' wedding ring on his ring finger. Then Magnus recited: "You are my Rock, my strength and with you by my side, I know that we can overcome any obstacles that come our way. You are my best friend and my one true love and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I promise to always nurture our relationship and to respect you and to love you for always." He placed Alec's ring on his finger and they turned back to the minister.
"Alec, do you take Magnus to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The minister asked.
"I do."
"And do you, Magnus, take Alec to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do." Magnus smiled and Alec couldn't help, but smile back.
"Then with the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and husband." The minister announced. "You may now kiss your husband." Many cheered as Alec and Magnus kissed. And all the newlyweds could think was Finally! I am now married to the love of my life.
Author's Note
So, it was really fluffy and short, but I hope you enjoyed it.
*IMPORTANT* I was wondering if you guys would like a timeline or a list of my OC's to keep track of them. I was considering making it a chapter of its own at the beginning. Let me know what you think!
Please review! Reviews encourage me to update faster. Please? *makes puppy dog face*
Ave atque vale,
Malec's Daughter
