DISCLAIMER: This event was mentioned during the books, so idk what I own, and what I don't. But I especially don't own the characters.
The Wedding Reception: Remember that speech that was mentioned in the book, about Will giving a speech, thinking that his Cecily was marrying Gideon, not Gabriel? Well, this is it!
This story was made possible by Connie Rose. Thank you so much for reminding me of it! :)
The Wedding Reception
The ceremony was over. They were married. Cecily Lightwood. She would never get tired of calling herself that. Cecily Lightwood. Cecily Light-
Her thoughts were disturbed when her brother, Will, stood up and demanded to make a toast, and a speech, praising the groom. She saw Tessa, barely aware of her surroundings, almost falling asleep sitting at the table.
"Tessa," Will nudged her, "I'm making a toast. Stand up."
Tessa quickly stood up next to Will, and announced, "Yes. A toast. To So-Cecily and Gi-Gabriel. Yeah, that's who."
She sat down, and Will began to recite his very well thought out speech.
"Friends, enemies, and family. We are gathered her today to celebrate my sister's marriage to a very respectable young man. Though we have had our differences in the past, I am pleased to be able to call you my brother-in-law," Will paused, and the audience began talking amongst themselves. They were amazed that William Herondale was praising, yes, praising, Gabriel Lightwood.
Will continued, "I may have called him a bastard in the beginning, for reasons unknown to him, but over the years, he has truly shown his true colors. Once loyal to his father, he has changed his path, and now, I call him one of my closest friends."
A gasp went through the crowd. Was William Herondale highly intoxicated at the moment? But no. His words were clear, his eyes focused, and his movements fluid.
Cecily watched Will with big eyes. Had her brother finally begun to accept Gabriel? Yes, they were more friendly, but not that friendly. She wanted to watch Tessa, for her reaction to Will's speech, but she was asleep, or at least seemed to be, leaning over the table. It would have looked disgraceful, but at the moment, all eyes were glued on Will.
"I know he will make Cecily happy, and I am sure as heck glad that she is marrying him. I would have no other for my dear sister."
Gabriel poked Cecily in the shoulder, "Why is he saying all this? He doesn't like me as much as he is saying. I'm sure, sometimes he still wants to strangle me." Gabriel murmured, as Will kept talking.
"This boy, no, this man, is a brave, young, handsome, though not as handsome as me, shadowhunter. May he live long, and may we give all of our blessings to this happy couple today." Will finally finished, and there was a small smattering of applause.
Upon hearing the applause, Tessa awoke. She saw Will standing up next to her, and remembered that he had said something about a speech. She figured it must not have been a good speech, being that there was a lack of applause, but then again, it was Gabriel. What did they think Will's speech would be like.
Sophie, who was sitting on the other side of Tessa, whispered into Tessa's ear, replaying the strange words of Will's speech. Tessa's eyebrows furrowed, and she stood up to ask Will, what convinced him to make such a nice speech.
"Will," she hissed, into his ear, "Are you quite okay?"
"Okay? I'm just swell. Cecily's married, and to a great man at that. What would be wrong?" he replied, taking a sip of his champagne.
"Cecily married Gabriel. You don't like Gabriel. Why are you praising him so much? it isn't like you," Tessa said, and she saw Will fake surprise.
"Whoops," he announced, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "I thought she was marrying Gideon. I take it all back."
Another gasp echoed through the crowd, and the murmuring began once more. Will grinned.
He didn't notice Cecily and Sophie exchange a glance, and both get up from their seats simultaneously, taking their champagne glasses with them.
He was blissfully ignorant of them sneaking up behind his seat, and dumping the contents of their glasses over his head.
Only then, did he realize his mistakes.
Nevertheless, he smelled champagne for the rest of the reception.
Ugh...sorry it was so short. I tried, guys. I couldnt think of anymore compliments for Will to give Gabriel.
Anyway, I hope you guys have been checking out my other four stories! Yes, I know. Why the heck do I have five stories at the same time? Anyway, I recommend Love Me, Hate Me, Believe In Me for Wessa lovers, and These Modern Days for Jessa lovers. And if you're like me, and you love them both, check out A Real Life Movie, which I'm planning on having Wessa and Jessa! :)
Please review, follow, or favorite! Thanks so much! :)
