-Blaine POV

Blaine sat in Emmett's room. If he had a working heart it would be in his throat. In a few moments he would be walking down the stairs of the Cullen home. Only moments after that he would no longer be Blaine Baca, he would be Blaine Cullen. He wasn't nervous because he of the marriage. In fact he was elated to be joining himself with Emmett.

He was more worried about the ceremony itself. Making sure that everything went right. For witches a marriage was not only a social and legal ceremony, but also a highly religious one. The Gods would be asked to bless the union and one could not make a fool of oneself in such a situation. There was the further problem of Alice.

The female vampire was there now, making sure that Blaine's outfit was perfectly in line and that his glamor was holding.

"I still think you should have gone with contacts Blaine. What if you lose concentration during the ceremony?"

Blaine sighed and for the thousandth time, tried to explain. "The glamour is not a ritual or focused spell. I could be murdered and the glamour would stay."

Alice's face turned into a scowl. "Blaine Baca, if you die before the wedding is over I will have your father resurrect you and then kill you again." Alice said. Blaine had no doubt that she was serious, but then her face broke into a grin. She wrapped her arms around Blaine. "I'm so glad that you're joining the family and that I get a new brother."

Not soon enough it seemed, Blaine was standing next to Emmett at the top of the stairs. They had decided to walk into the ceremony together, as equals. From their position, Blaine could already see all the planning at work.

Streamers of calla lilies hung from the ceiling above the guest seats in straight, vertical rows. Above the wide aisle, rose petals rained down, and obvious touch of his mother. The width of the aisle was explained by the two live lions sitting and waiting for the vampires to come down. Blaine had fretted over the choice between Sam, his father, his mother, or a member of the Cullen family. Finally, it was decided that Constantine would lead Blaine and Carlisle would lead Emmett. Both fathers would be flanked by the lions.

The guests were seated on what looked like puffs of smoke. On the left was Blaine's extended family, which in this case included Emily, Seth, Jacob, a few vampires he was related to by marriage, mortals and witches. Emmett's side was a little sparse though. Blaine understood though, when you're a vampire it's hard to make long term human friendships.

The altar was just that. A grand marble monument to Jupiter and Ganymede. Sitting on top of it were two white doves. Originally, Constantine had suggested a more traditional sacrifice, however everyone else had immediately disagreed with this option. In front of the altar stood a priest of Jupiter with his head covered. He was currently in a conversation with Sam who seemed very interested in the man. It was not every day that you met a priest of a polytheistic religion. This one had come from Rome, and it had been no small amount that his parents had paid.

"You sure you want to do this? You could still turn away and I would let you go." Emmett said quietly, his face a little sad as though he was afraid that Blaine would just turn and run away.

Blaine, however, could only smile and take Emmett's hand. "I don't want to ruin my vows by saying them now, but believe me when I say that there is no place I'd rather be right now than here, getting ready to marry you."

Downstairs, the sound of Canon came from the grand piano sitting behind the guests and Blaine knew that was their cue. Giving Emmett's hand a squeeze the couple started down the stairs. At the bottom the released each others hands and took those of their respective father's When they reached the aisle, the lions rose in perfect timing and set off next to them.

Walking through the aisle, Blaine thought about all that had led him to this moment. Every scratch, every punch, kiss, pain, and pleasure. All the suffering and joy he had been through had been steps to this, this ultimate nirvana.

To the left of the altar, stood Sam. He was wearing a black tuxedo that was close to Blaine's own except that Blaine's had a long tail. Emmett had chosen Jasper as his best man. He looked nervous, standing in a room with humans, as though he might lose control and attack everyone.

When they reached the altar, Carlisle and Constantine took their seats and everyone sat down and listened to the priest.

"Beloved children, we are here today to celebrate the union of these two souls in the presence of the Gods. Marriage is not something that should be taken lightly, nor is it something that should be done without blessing. Therefore, if there is anyone present who can give just reason why these two should not be married, speak now."

Blaine held his breath, hoping that no one would say anything. As far as he was aware, there was no one with any ill will towards him, but if there was, now would be the time they would show it.

Thankfully, the room stayed silent, and the priest continued. "Blaine Baca, Emmett Cullen, you have each decided to prepare your own vows." He waved his hand for Emmett to speak.

"Blaine, the first time that I saw you in the forest, you had my heart. I think that I loved you before that though. I think that everything in my life led to that moment. And when I look at you now, and I see what a perfect man you are, you just make me fall in love with you all over again. I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with you by my side, and I know that no matter what comes in the future, we can face it. We can handle whatever our lives have in store with us, because I'll have you. I swear to honor and love you, every nanosecond, of every day until the sun falls from the sky. I love you Blaine."

Blaine smiled and started his vows. "Emmett, you were willing and able to stand by me through the hardest point in my life. You are my rock and my shelter, you are the reason the sun rises. There has never been any doubt in my mind that you are the one for me, the only one for me. I could live a thousand other lives and never find someone like you. You are everything to me Emmett. I promise to try and make each day better than the last and to be by your side forever."

The priest smiled and raised his arms. "Father Janus, Father Jupiter, Mother Juno, Father Mars, Mother Venus, Blessed Ganymede, look after this couple. Grant them blessings and joy, shelter them from storms, bring them prosperity and peace, enter their hearts and fill them with love."

At this he took the hands of Blaine and Emmett and placed them on top of each other. He pulled out a scarlet length of cloth and tied their hands together.

"Ladies and gentleman, I present before you Blaine and Emmett Cullen. Bound for life by the Gods. You may now share in that eternal sign of love and kiss each other."

Blaine was only too happy to oblige. He pulled Emmett in for a kiss while the audience clapped. The birds behind them on the altar took off and multiplied themselves, before long there was a small flock of doves, flying around the couple.
