Hey guys... *insert sheepish smile* I told you I would update last week and it's, well, not last week. I am sooooo sorry :( I am giving you guys two chapters to make up for it because I feel like I abandon this periodically. I am going to try to get on a schedule, but my mom just broke her toe so I am helping out more around the house until she's better, which means less time on the computer to do school and stuff... Thanks for sticking with me, and you guys have no idea how much your positive reviews encourage me :) You guys rock. Okay here's the story... please enjoy :)

2 WEEKS LATER

ClaryPoV

"You look gorgeous, even without makeup, Clary."

Izzy told me sincerely.

My wedding dress was strapless with a princess neckline. The bodice was fitted, and it clung to me perfectly. The front of the dress stopped just above my knees, and sloped to the floor in the back. The whole skirt was gathered at the top to make it full. In the front, where the dress stopped, gold, thickly woven flowered lace lowered the hemline to a few inches above my ankles. The lace also created a small train in the back. The dress material was a gold sparkly satin, and I had a thin gold belt slung around my waist. I was wearing a pair of gold strappy sandals, with a 3-inch wedge heel. The strappy part of the shoes came to just below my knees. I also had a pair of gold elbow-length fingerless gloves, with a lace stripe winding from the top of the glove to taper off to a point ending at the base of my pointer finger. Runes of love and fortitude (and a hidden agility because I'm a klutz) decorated my pale skin.

Izzy turned and looked at the clock.

"Time to get you to Magnus' for your hair and makeup!"

She made a portal, and we stepped through.

"Come on in!"

Magnus greeted us at the door.

I walked in and sat down at the vanity in Magnus' and Alec's room, preparing myself for the worst.

Two hours later Magnus cheerfully announced,

"You can look now!"

I walked to the mirror, and gasped.

My eyes were outlined with eyeliner and mascara. Gold eyeshadow faded to red, which reached out almost an inch, giving me vibrant smoky eyes. Where there was red eyeshadow, gold eyeliner made sparkly swirls. I would have thought that would be so much makeup, but it actually looked perfect, highlighting my green eyes and red hair. Oh, my hair! It looked amazing.

It was piled on top of my head in a perfect messy bun, held in place with gold bobby pins. Little curls fell at the back of my neck and some tumbled around my face, framing it perfectly. A little (gold) tiara sat just in front of the messy bun, and my veil hung from the front of the tiara.

I threw my arms around Magnus in a huge hug.

"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!"

He smiled down at me, his cat eyes glittering happily.

"It's your special day, I am only contributing to your natural beauty. Shall we go back to the Institiute?"

I nodded, and we portaled back.

Izzy was my Matron of Honor, while Lily and Maia were my bridesmaids, and Emma (although she was a bit old for it) was the flower girl. Alec and Simon (at my insistence) were both grooms, and Julian (although he too was old for it) was the ring and stele bearer. Magnus, as High Warlock of Brooklyn, was marrying us.

Izzy was wearing a shimmery floor length medium blue gown, which looked radiant on her. Her hair was perfectly straight and let down, a small twist held in place by a silver bobby pin on her right side. Maia had on a violet dress that complemented her cinnamon-colored skin perfectly, her hair left down in its poofy curls. Lily's dress was a vibrant red, perfect with her dark hair bloodred lips and white skin, while her hair was done in a waterfall braid. Emma had a bright pink dress that looked incredible with her blue eyes and blonde hair, which was back in a french braid with strands hanging down on either side of her face.

"You look amazing!"

Izzy rushed up to hug me, and the other three followed suit.

Magnus smiled and excused himself to get ready.

A knock sounded on the door, and Jocelyn walked in. She kissed my forehead.

"How are you honey?"

I took a minute to asses my emotions.

"I guess I'm a little nervous, but mainly happy and excited. I love Jace so much... I will have no regrets ever, I know that."

She smiled.

"As it should be. I'm going to go sit down know, my feet are hurting,"

She guestered at the heels she was wearing.'

"You have about ten minutes, although if Jace had his way it would be right now. I swear that boy is going to explode with happiness."

She kissed my forehead again, and exited, smiling at my friends.

I turned to them, a thought tickling in the back of my head. I pushed it aside for now, I could worry about it later.

"Thanks for doing this with me."

I smiled at them.

"You are thanking us? We get to be a big part of one of the most special days of your life, and you are thanking us?"

Izzy enveloped me in a hug, careful not to crush or ruin anything.

I smiled tearily.

"Love you guys!"

We all hugged eachother, and then the tissues came out.

Alright, give me a minute to type up the wedding and reception, and it will be up for you guys! Thanks for reading, and a review on the way out would be awesome :)
