Izzy ran through the doorway and hugged her brother, tears welling up in her eyes that were lined with black. "Ah look at you! I knew the Versace would look impeccable on you." She smiled widely, hands brushing nonexistent dust off Alec's shoulders. Alec smiled back sweetly at his sister, before taking her into a tight hug and nearly crying into her expensive dress. "You're getting married, Alec! I'm so proud." Isabelle's words were muffled by Alec's shirt, and she pulled away from the hug wearing a million dollar smile. "I'm excited but scared, Izzy. I'll cry." Alec huffed, smoothing his hair down as Isabelle fussed over his suit jacket.

Magnus, on the other hand, was stressed. "Raph, what if I don't look good enough? What if he changes his mind? What if Jace does what I did at Lydia's wedding? Raphael I'm-" "Calm down, Magnus. Alec loves you, really. Nothing to worry about. Trust me." The sassy Spanish vamp cut Magnus off, and straightened his tie. Magnus hugged Raphael, and they stood there for a minute or two; silent, excited. "The moment you step into Alec's view he will cry. I know it." Raphael reassured Magnus, patting him on the back. Magnus hugged the vampire tight. Raphael spluttered. "I may not be breathing but I can choke so tone down on the crushing mi amigo." He laughed as Magnus let him go. Magnus had a look that could only be described as 'relaxed stress' when Raphael looked back at him.

Isabelle held her brother by the arms, and brushed off anything that could have accumulated on the suit jacket he was wearing. Despite being the younger sister, she felt a sense of pride for Alec and loved him with all her heart.

Raphael stood back and looked Magnus up and down, nodding before grabbing a handful of something and throwing it on him. White glitter. It was so light that not even someone up close could see that it was there unless he stood under light. Like some cheap Edward Cullen knock off; but prettier. Magnus had taken Raphael in, immortal friends, and Raphael felt so happy for him.

Alec wore all black. Black shirt, black trousers, black tie, black blazer, black shoes. It really suited him.

Magnus wore all white. White shirt, white bow tie, white trousers, white blazer, white shoes. He was beautiful.

Because Alec was nephilim and Magnus a warlock, they couldn't have a shadowhunter wedding. The stele ceremony wasn't able to happen. Magnus' magic would repel the rune, and could hurt him. So Alec was having a wedding like a mundane would, but with a twist on it. Just because Magnus couldn't have the rune didn't mean Magnus couldn't mark them both. It wouldn't be 'proper' as Maryse put it but times change; shadowhunters fall in love with downworlders sometimes. And that's okay.

Magnus was scared of marking Alec. The last thing he wanted was for his fiancé to be hurt. They had decided on a rune-looking symbol, and it was scarily similar to the wedding rune. Alec wasn't scared of being marked. Couldn't be any worse than he'd been through before, right?

Isabelle walked out of the institute holding Alec's hand, and pushed him into the car waiting for him, before sliding in beside him. Jace joined too, squished against the window when the doors were shut. Isabelle had pestered Jace telling him that Alec needed his space.

Magnus made a portal, and it took him and Raphael to the street down the road from where him and Alec were being wed. Alec had insisted the wedding didn't take place in a church, didn't want Magnus to feel uncomfortable in a 'House Of God'. Whatever that meant.

A car sped past Magnus and Raphael, and the vampire swung his hands over Magnus' eyes. The warlock flinched. "What was that for?" He asked, batting Raphael's hands off his face. "Your husband-to-be. Bad luck." Raphael smirked, putting his hands by his sides. It was also Alec's idea to have the wedding at night. He wanted vampires to be able to be there, Raphael was basically Magnus' son and Alec knew how much he meant to him. Magnus' cheekbones flushed a little red and Raphael smiled to himself. "Saying that makes me feel all weird." Magnus sighed, smiling shyly with his bottom lip between his teeth. Raphael chuckled. "That's because you love him, mi amigo."
