A/N: Never again will I write vows for a fictional character. EVER. That was just ridiculously hard. I'm almost positive that this doesn't top Jace' proposal speech but I honestly tried!!!

During shadow hunter training, you learn to blend in a crowded scene. You learn to be calm under pressure, to not positively freak out every time someone screams, bleeds or demands far too much out of you. You just pull out a seraph blade; stab the SOB threatening you and your fellow fighters and move on with your life.

Unfortunately, this training doesn't work so well on the big day.

It's only ten-thirty in the morning and I've been under the limelight, something I do not enjoy by the way, for five hours. I've been waxed, shaved, shampooed, dressed, undressed, redressed, curled, and smothered in enough make up for a courtesan house.

"You look gorgeous honey!" My mother said and she rushed to go find my shoes. The wedding was in just a few minutes. My heart was going faster than a Ferrari and I was wondering how fast a shadow hunter's heart could go before it burst. Isabelle would be horrified that I ruined the dress so I guess I better calm down, huh?

"Jace is nervous too, don't worry." Simon reassured me. I glanced over surprised that he was there. I was kind of curious how he got there too without Isabelle decapitating him with one of those deadly heels of hers. The reception wasn't at the Institute; it was in Alicante actually, so it wasn't like it was physically impossible. But Simon was supposed to be outside, manning the door from Jace, since he'd already tried to sneak in four times.

"Magnus put a spell over the door so Jace can't even get near it." Simon winked. Clever.

"You do look beautiful by the way. Jace is a lucky man." He said, walking closer to me. He was in a tuxedo, looking rather dashing himself. I grinned and kissed his cheek thank you.

"I better get going. I'm supposed to walk Maia down. Alec is walking Isabelle and by the looks of it, he's being dragged out by his hair. Good luck. Don't trip." Simon called as he jogged out of the room. My breath was sucked from my chest again. Crap. Is there a reason why I can't walk barefoot down this aisle?

"Breath Clary. You haven't taken a breath since I led you out of that room." Luke whispered. I glanced up, wondering where he came from. I was so out of it today, this couldn't have been good.

This was ridiculous. Me, Jace Lightwood, was completely in full panic attack mode. Me.

The pianist began playing a soft melody and the doors opened, my breath being sucked up like a vacuum. Two wolves, Luke's first and second command loped in, Angela and Max on their backs, tossing rainbow colored roses in every direction. Even the wolves held bouquets.

Simon and Maia came in next. Maia was in a red dress and Simon in a black tux with an orange tie. I really had to resist rolling my eyes. I knew letting Isabelle and Magnus plan our wedding and actually agreeing to a rainbow theme was a horrible idea. But between whips and magic sticks, I'm sure they would have won anyways.

Isabelle and Alec came in next. Isabelle looked radiant, like the midday sun. Alec, poor Alec, was trying to smile and be happy but he looked mortified. He hadn't attention on him and oh boy, was all eyes on my brother. He got lucky though, a black suit, but he wore a lime green tie.

Magnus pushed open the door and I had to bite my tongue. It was just too much. He had a suave, slightly sparkling blue suit on. Even his hair was blue. Again. Jocelyn, who winked reassuringly, was in a dark purple dress. Well that ends the rainbow.

The music changed and my heart paused. I gulped and watched the door with a hawk-like gaze. Alec patted my shoulder comfortingly. "Clary doesn't bail on anything. She'll walk through those doors." He said. Of course she would.

And she did.

I was focused on not tripping, smiling, and breathing all at once when that door opened. Do you know how hard that is? Especially when I saw Jace, the last one halted and stayed at the station.

Luke squeezed my hand, mimicking the breathing exercises. I elbowed him nonchalantly and took a deep breath. It just didn't come back out.

Jace, oh my, Jace looked amazing. He had a black suit on but, much like my sash that Isabelle changed to gold for some crazy reason, his tie was the same. His smile was so big his eyes were crinkling. The look in his eyes oddly reminded me of years ago when the angel brought him back. The relief, the overwhelming love, and wonder on what exactly was going on.

I felt like running, this pace was just too slow, to him. But Luke kept me at the same agonizingly slow pace.

Apparently, Jace found this pace too slow too.

"LUKE. MOVE. FASTER." He hissed beneath his breath. Luke chuckled and Isabelle smacked Jace with her bouquet, petals falling to the floor.

"You ruin this wedding, I'll ruin you. Shut it!"

I knew this wedding wouldn't be lacking sibling violence and a few threats.

"There, you happy?" Luke asked quietly, handing me over. Jace kissed my cheek, winking at Luke. "Very."

"Dearly beloved…" The preacher's words kind of blended after that. I blame Jace's eyes and that stupid gold tie.

"Clary?" Jace whispered. I shook my head, clearing my non-existent thoughts, and really looked at Jace.

"I know I'm pretty but I have to say my vows now and I would like you to hear them." He whispered. Giggles came from the audience and I blushed. Isabelle made some comment about me being a real bride now.

"Once upon a time, I lived in a world full of shadows with even darker secrets hiding in their depths. My life was nothing but a blur of black and blood. And I believed I was satisfied with this life. I would have walked through the darkness alone every day, blind and numb, willingly. And then I met you." This is the part when the tears started to ruin my make-up.

"Suddenly every corner was lit and I could feel, actually feel. I could see what lived there but it didn't frighten me. I had courage and strength I didn't even know a person could be capable of. Nothing was impossible, as long as I had you right there to light my path."

"Since the day I met you, I've never wanted to leave your side. Even," Jace had to stop for a second and take a breath and I realized his hand was shaking in mine. He was nervous, just like Simon had said.

"Even when I knew it was wrong, I wanted to be the one that made you as strong as you made me. I love you Clarissa." Jace finished softly, his hand coming up to wipe the tears that streaked down my face. I let out a very unsteady breath and prepared for my part.

"You always make these speeches hard to top." I whispered. Jace let out a shaky laugh and cupped his hand around my cheek.

"I can't guarantee a speech like that. I've never been as poetic as you or even great with words, but I do know one thing, one simple thing that has never changed. That I'm in love with you and I will always love you. And that's what these vows are supposed to be, right? Me telling you that I love you? And I don't know any better way then for this guy over here to ask me the question already and let me marry you to tell you that I could never love anyone else but you."

The church was quiet and Jace's face was twitching in that way that it does when he really, really wants to do something but he doesn't think it's the best idea.

"Do you, Clarissa Support Morgenstern take Jonathan Christopher Lightwood as your lawful wedded husband?" The preacher asked. Jace's face mimicked mine in confusion until I saw Simon snickered and give Magnus a low high-five. I am never using that joke again.

"I do." I whispered. Jace's face broke into a relieved smile. Did he really think I'd say no?

"And do you Jon—" Jace broke him off with an I do. The preacher sighed, shaking his head. I think he was tired of us being so pushy and out of it.

"You may kiss the bride." He said. And oh boy, did Jace kiss the bride.

A/N: Well? How'd you like? I hope you got the inside jokes. I was completely stuck on what Clary's middle name was since it was never mentioned. (Actually, only Jace seems to have a middle name…) And, being sarcastic as I am, mentioned it to my mom in my absolute confusion and she said use that! And so I did. Hope you enjoyed!
