A/N: Hello,
It took me awhile to come up with this, but really...I haven't had a slight idea what to write. And it only because I've written two weddings in this month. Actually three but the one wasn't for this fandom. Anyway...I do hope you won't be mad, that I focused more in proposal than a wedding. But I decided to do it only because in Magnus's mom wedding I focused more in preparations and in 'One heart one soul. Always and forever' I focused more in preparations and wedding itself. So here I decided to go with proposal more.
And now the answers:
Guest: I'm glad you like it.
malecglitterfan: Yep, Alec is great with kids.
red wolf: Kids are adorable, that's true. And who will know? Maybe they will have a baby or not.
Characters known for you from books belongs to Cassie, the rest are mine.
Oh, and please do look up on YT for 'Anyone' by Elvis Presley. It would help you get into the mood.
Edited: I wanted you to know that there's Germany translation of "Maybe We Are a Fairytale" if anyone is interested, look up here: fanfiktion .de/s/53b06fcb000308feed82597/1/Maybe-We-Are-A-Fairytale-
As well you can find on her profile the translation to "How to say I love you?"
Edited 2: If I'll get more inspiration than I'll write the whole reception in One-shots.
Enjoy reading.
Chapter IV
"Mr. and Mr. Lightwood"
The second anniversary hung in the air and here I haven't had anything planned so far, nor I had a present for Alexander. As always I had struggles in buying him a gift. It's not that there wasn't any nice thing in stores. It's just nothing seemed to be perfect. Running out of the ideas I decided to get some advice from my best friends.
"Buy him a dog" Ragnor prompted making me and Catarina looking weirdly at him "What?"
"Maybe you haven't realized but we have a cat"
"Maybe a weekend somewhere? Just the two of you?" my female friend smiled to me "You said that lately you've barely had time for each other"
"That's…actually not a bad idea Cate" a playful smirk crept on my lips "And I have a perfect place for us"
"See…it wasn't that bad. Now spill where would you take him?"
"Ah, to the city of love again. Just the two of us it's what we need now"
…
I was wandering through the mall some more till I spotted a jewelry store. Involuntary I stopped right in front of the window and looked at rings. They were truly beautiful. With diamonds, topazes, amethysts and much more crystals. Golden, silver, platinum. Whatever your soul desires. I didn't even know when I found myself wondering about me giving some ring to Alec.
Did that mean that I wanted to marry him?
I knew for sure that I wanted to be with Alexander forever. That I never want to leave him. That I want to share my life with him till the very end.
In that second a beautiful vision came to my mind. Me kneeling on one knee before Alexander with a ring in the box. He with a hand on his mouth, tears running down his cheeks. Then he says YES. We're kissing and making love then…
Ok, Magnus stop yourself before you're gonna have a little problem below your belt- I scolded myself.
"Can I help you?" a male voice came to my ears. I looked up from the glass cabinet and meet with green eyes of the seller. "Would you like to look closer at rings? Any specific?"
"For now I'm just looking around. To be all honest my partner doesn't like any jewelry, so it had to be simple" the man nodded and took out one set of rings "Maybe some silver, yeah his family ring is silver too, so I'd like to go with some silver"
"Of course. What size?" I tried to remember the time that I tried on Alec's family ring. It was a size too bigger for me, and I was wearing 9
"I guess 10" he put in front of me seven silver bands with different rocks, a topaz, Rubin, diamond, emerald. The most beautiful from them was the one with topaz. It was a simple ring, and it screamed to me 'Alec', I imagined putting it on Alec's hand, and that vision was very pleasant. "I think I'll take the one with topaz"
The seller took it out and placed in a blue velvet box, after that I paid and left the store with a true grin on my face. Now I needed to plan how to propose.
…
Finally it was the day of our anniversary, and I supposed to be happy. But curse my work now, but I had to stay longer in my music studio. Since I've opened it three months ago, I had so many clients that wanted to learn how to play piano. My music teacher from Julliard helped me with opening my own studio and now he moved some of his new clients to me. I was grateful for it, because it gave me money, but on the other hand I was working so much.
And now I was running home, panting like I'd run in a marathon, to prepare a romantic dinner for me and my beloved. I planned everything in my head. I'd prepare Alec's favorite mushroom ravioli. We'll open a bottle of white wine that we've bought last year during a vacations in Spain. We'll eat, listen to a romantic music. And then I'll get down on my knee and ask
'Will you marry me darling Alexander?'
That was great plan, too bad that I had so little time to do it. holding in a grip my groceries I opened the door. And sweet lord I was greeted with a delicious smell that made me a bit suspicious and surprised at one time.
"Alec?" a very loud crushing sound and curse came from the kitchen. Alarmed by that I moved into that direction. But I stopped death in my tracks when I went into the living room.
My living room didn't look like usually. Our purple sofa was moved to the corner. The table from kitchen was moved into the middle of living room. Rose petals around the floor. Scented candles here and there on the floor and cabinets. And then the table covered with a white table cloth. Candles on it, setting for two, glasses for wine, a bottle of the white wine next to them.
"You're home earlier, I haven't finished yet" Alec's sweet voice came to my ears. I looked up at him and smiled fondly. He was wearing a red apron and now set down some dish covered with a lid. Nevertheless it smelled wonderful.
"What is this? Why you're home?" his cheeks were pink now
"I wanted to make a special dinner for you and me…a romantic evening." His sweet smile was something that I loved to look at. "And I haven't gone to the hospital today, nor I had much work…so…yeah…" he went silent for a bit "You stay here and I'll go change!"
Before I got a chance to open my mouth and say something, Alec rushed to our bedroom locking the door behind him. Blessing my mind that I remembered to wore nice clothes to work, so I had a suit jacket and a dress shirt already. I moved to the bathroom and opened the cabinet with my make-up stuff. I took out from the behind a box with ring. I knew that Alec would never look to this cabinet. He stays as far as he can from my make-up things.
When I came back to the living room, Alec stood at the middle with a bouquet of red roses in his hands, smiling shyly upon me. He looked dashing. White dress shirt, black tie, dark jeans.
"This is for you" he handed me roses and moved the chair for me to sit.
"Thank you my love"
ALEC POV:
My heart was beating like crazy, as I tried to muster some courage to say what I wanted. It was strange, ten years, hell even four years back in time I'd never thought that I'd like to get married. But here I was, preparing to spill my heart out to the love of my life and ask him to spend his life with me forever. I wanted that more than anything. I couldn't see my life without Magnus. He was my other half, my better half. He was the only one for me, and I wanted him with me forever.
I took out the lid from dish, revealing to Magnus the food. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the scent.
"Oh…Alexander…it smells delicious" he licked his lips "Is that a Salmon with a raspberry sauce?"
"Yes, I remembered that you liked it. I hope it's good enough" we started to eat, and occasionally, ok who I was lying to, I was observing him all the time. I savored every look of his, every small sound of enjoying the food.
"It's wonderful darling"
I poured us another glass of white wine, for myself a bit less than him. I wasn't very much for drinking.
"You know baby" he smiled at me in his beautiful way "I wanted to come home tonight, prepare you a dinner and woo you during it"
"You don't have to woo me, I already love you"
"I love you too"
After the dinner I asked him for a dance. Now we were moving slowly into the rhythm of Anyone by Elvis Presley. We were pressed chest to chest, I could feel his steady heartbeat. Magnus was humming the melody of the song along, and I started to sing it quietly to his ear. We danced some more and then moved back to the table. It was time for a dessert. Strawberries with white and dark chocolate. We were feeding one another, kissing from time to time, making each other more frustrated and a bit horny. But the bedroom was in a later agenda for tonight. Magnus was finishing the last strawberry and I thought that it's the perfect time.
"Magnus" he looked up at me and licked the chocolate off of his fingers "I have to tell you something"
"What is it baby?" the worry in his voice reminded me about events from two years ago.
"It's nothing bad. Just listen to me, ok?" he nodded, as I took three deep breaths. I took his hand in my, brushing it with my thumb, then I placed a kiss on top of it. "Magnus…at first I didn't believe that we will last that long. Hell, I never thought that you could love me. but yet you saw something worthy of love in me, though still I don't know what" he wanted to say something but I shushed him "But whatever it is, I'm grateful for it, because you are my miracle. You're the reason I live. You're the reason why I haven't gave up back then when I was sick. You are my angel. And I love you so much. I never believed that someone could love that much as I love you. You are my everything, my world, my sun, my moon, my safe ground. You make me smile every day. You make my heart beat like crazy with every look you're giving to me. You are my other half, my better half. You're the light of my life. My beautiful fairytale. My beloved Prince Charming. You are the one and only for me. And I need you in my life forever and ever. I want you to be my ever after"
Tears were running down his cheeks, when I kneeled before him and opened the red velvet box with a golden ring with emerald.
"Magnus Bane, will you do me the honor and marry me?"
The reaction that Magnus gave me wasn't what I was expecting. Not at all.
Magnus started to laugh, like really loudly.
I truly didn't know what it meant nor what to do, when he didn't stop laughing. I was almost in the state of tears, and my heart was racing. The feel of nauseas engulfed me, and I felt that I faint in no time.
At last Magnus stopped laughing and wiped his tears away.
"Oh baby…" he dropped down to his knees next to me "I will marry you. Of course I will marry you."
"Then what was that?" my voice was shaky from emotions. He smiled widely at me, and took out something from his pocket. When he opened his hand and revealed to me a blue velvet box I started to laugh as well.
"I wanted to wait till we'll get to the bedroom, but you were first" we kissed passionately, and when we pulled away and I slid a ring on Magnus's left hand, he spoke "And will you marry me Alexander?"
"Yes I will marry you Magnus"
MAGNUS POV:
The preparations for the wedding went intense. It was one thing to plan mom's wedding, but planning my own wedding was a much bigger thing. Not only we had so little time, only two months. We decided that we'll get married at the end of January, a winter themed wedding. Every day was crazy for both of us and our family.
Every one helped how they could. Maryse and my mom were deciding on menu, according to what me and Alec liked. Isabelle, Catarina, Tessa and Ellie were researching and buying decorations, of course being in a contact with me all the time. I decided that we'll stick to the winter colors such as white, silver and light blue. It won't be a big wedding, only fifty people, the closest family and friends.
As for the place, we chose our family restaurant. Girls decorated it with winter colors and decorations. Simon and Chris put some blue and white lights so it could look more winterish.
All of it looked marvelous.
Finally it was the wedding day. I was freaking out, and every one of my family tried to calm me down, but they didn't succeed on it. But somehow I've managed to not faint and with my mom I moved to the front, where Alec stood waiting for me. The ceremony was taken a place in Manhattan Marriage Bureau. We asked Luke to be the one who'll wed us. Ragnor and Jace were our best men.
I took Alec's right hand in mine and squeezed it a bit, just to make sure that he's really here, that it's not some kind of dream.
I'm getting married! – my mind was screaming.
Alec smiled shyly at me, his cheeks slightly pink, as Luke was talking about love. My heart was racing, my body filled with warmness.
"Magnus" Alec started his vow "On this day, I give you my heart again. My promise,
That I will walk with you, hand in hand, wherever our journey leads us. Living, learning, loving, together, forever. I promise you to stand by you in everything. And I promise you that we'll live happily ever after. I promise to be there when you cry to kiss away your tears. I promise to be there when you're facing your fears. I promise to be there when you need someone to talk to, even if I don't know what you're talking about"
There were some muffled laughs from the room at those words.
"And finally I promise to love you with every single beat of my heart till death do us part"
"Alexander" it was my turn "On this day I give you my soul, so you could hold it together along with my heart that I gave you two years ago. I give you my promise that I will walk with you, hand in hand, wherever our journey leads us. I promise you that I will support you in everything. That I will be the one to fight with your fears, that I will hold you in my arms when you'll cry. I promise that I'll be by your side in everything. I promise to be everything you need me to be. I promise to make you the happiest man alive. I promise to not try to glitter your life…too much"
Even Alec couldn't stop a smile that crept on his face now.
"And finally I promise to love you with every single beat of my heart till death do us part"
"With the power given to me by the State of New York, I pronounce you…" Luke smirked at us "Mr. and Mr. Lightwood. You may kiss the groom"
…
The reception itself was amazing. After some toasts and dinner we started dancing. Alec and I picked our favorite songs. Everyone danced as well, there wasn't a person who was sitting. When the cake time came, Alec tried not cut my fingers off, when we cut it together. At some point, little kids started to play with food, and by that I meant that they threw some cake at themselves. That made us all laugh loudly.
At the end of the night me and Alec went for a car, to go to the hotel. Before our honeymoon we had a one, rather pleasant night to spend. Our wedding night. We went to the Otesaga, one of the prestigious Historic Hotels of America. Our suit was specially prepared.
Red rose petals made a path from the entering to the room straight to the bed. On the bed there was a heart made from rose petals. A bottle of champagne was cooling itself in the bucket of ice.
We went at first for a romantic, bubbled bath together, with a small foreplay. And then, then back in the bedroom, we made love for the first time as married couple. It was blissful, full of love, sweet, slow. Every touch, every sound was savored by us. Just the way it supposed to be.
After all we laid in each other's arms, legs tangled, covered by some light sheet. Alec stroked my hair, and kissed my lips.
"So Mr. Lightwood" he started, looking down at my wedding ring "Are you happy with your new husband?"
"Very much so Mr. Lightwood"
A/N: Did you like it?
Ha! Have you expected me to do such a twist with double proposal? Who would have thought that they will want to propose at the same time?
Anyway...yeah the next one, around next week, hopefully. I'll do my best to bring up the new one in the next week.
Review if you feel like to
Lots of love
