A week later Lord Alex sent an invitation inviting Angelus and myself to dinner. Dinner was a very nice affair and after that dinner I took Jasmine for a walk in the gardens and I just knew that I had to marry her and be with her for as long as I could be. So I asked Lord Alex if I could speak with him about a personal matter in his library. After talking about politics I finally brought up his daughter and asked if I could court her. He spent a few minutes thinking about it and finally agreed that I would be an excellent choice for his little girl. I went to find Jasmine and found her with Angelus; he was telling her stories of his hometown and she was enthralled with all of it.
Finally she looked up at me and just smiled. "Penn, Angelus was telling me about growing up in Galloway. Is there something you want?" "Yes, Jasmine your father has accepted my offer to court you. I thought I would tell you so it's not a shock when your father tells you." Angelus just smiled at this spectacle and thought in his head about how Jasmine would make a beautiful addition to his little vampire family.
The courtship was slightly hard due to the fact that I could only travel and see her at night but I told Jasmine that was because I lived far from their home and had to leave very early to arrive by sunset. If she only knew what Angelus and I really were I believe that she would of killed me right then and there. I had been courting her for a year and I finally mustered all of my courage and asked her father for her hand in marriage luckily for me I had the money for a beautiful ring and told him that I could take care of her for the rest of her life. I didn't really know of Angelus' plan to make her a vampire till I had already asked her to marry me.
Her family mostly her mother threw themselves into the wedding preparation sending letters to half of London and the other neighboring cities to tell of their only child's marriage to me. Angelus laughed at the whole thing while I prepared for the night that I would get married and bring my wife home to this place that would change her life forever.
Three months after I proposed the wedding was ready and I knew that my request to have it at night had confused them but I told the it was a tradition with my family to get married at night and Jasmine just loved it cause it was a full moon and the garden looked spectacular.
I remember the night so clearly like it happened yesterday. She walked towards me in a long white dress with little flowers in her hair and carrying roses and little pieces of jasmine flowers. Her father walked her down to me and all I had at my side was Angelus and she had many friends there but all I could see was how the light caught her hair and then how the candles caught her eyes and they looked so pale and cool but I saw that under that there was a fire that made my heart if it could beat skip a beat.
The wedding was long and kinda boring but finally we were bound to each other by the priest and I knew that our life would start from this day forward till she or I died. I still had hope that Angelus would change he's mind about changing her but when I looked at how he was dancing with my bride I knew that she was going to see us for what we really were. Finally we got into my carriage and left for my house, which was only 30 minutes from her home.
