Gold for a bride in her wedding gown

We were in the shop which sold wedding dresses for what felt like hours.

I was surrounded by dresses in every shade of gold. It was a little odd because when I was a little girl I always dreamed of a wedding in white.

But that didn't matter anymore. I'm a shadowhunter now and I was going to have a real shadowhunter-wedding.

„Try this one, Clary!" Isabelle said and handed me a dress. The gold was a very beautiful one.

„Everything you want" I laughed and went into the changing room. The saleslady followed me and helped me to get into the dress, because it had laces to be bind on the back.

„Ok, turn around" she said and I turned around. I was shocked as I looked into the mirror. The dress was beautiful. It had some strass on the upper part and the skirt was flowing around me.

I loved it.

I exited the changing room with a big smile. Their eyes began to shine the second my mother, Isabelle and Maryse saw me.

„It's the right one, isn't it?" my mother asked exited.

„It is" I said and admired myself in the mirror which hung on one of the walls.

„Of course it is the right one. I was the one who chose it" Isabelle said and hopped around me like a newborn deer.

I was happy and couldn't wait to get married.

The day of the wedding was very hectic. But everyone settled down when the time came for me to walk into the The Accords Hall.

The first thing I saw was that all my friends and my whole family was there.

Then I saw Jace. He wore a black ceremonial gear, which was marked with golden runes.

The ceremony was a blur for me because I couldn't believe that I was going to get married to Jace. I was so happy.

Until the time came for us to mark each other with permanent runes of love and commitment.

„Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death." Jace said and drew the runes. One directly over my heart and one on my arm.

I did the same. I was glad that I didn't massed the runes up because I wasn't able to see clearly through the happy-tears I've shed.

„I love you" Jace said and kissed me. The audience cheered.

„You look beautiful, did I said that before?" Jace whispered to me as we danced slowly around the room.

„Yes, almost a hundred times I think" I whispered back with a smile. This felt so right.

„You know, the lines we said in the ritual aren't right." Jace said all of a sudden.

First I was starteld but then it dawned me.
„I know. Our love is even stronger than death." I said and looked into his eyes.

„Like I said before: I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then."
