"My dearest, loveliest Elena"- Elijah said looking at his wife to be, dearly-"you love me?!"
Elena nodded uttering-
"The moment my eyes beheld you, my heart was irrevocably gone""Oh, and my inexcusable behaviour, horrible shattered everything. My darling, I will be making amends forever more."
"Please let us forget all that happened back then. I do not know why I brought it back. It is all in the past now."- Elena said gazing deeply into the vampire's eyes.
"Yes, it is in the past. Yet still, my heart aches because of all that it has put you through."
"I cannot blame yourself for any of what had happened to me. Even if we found our way to one another back then, I still had to answer the inner call of the Huntress. Married or not."- Elena said.
"I am very well aware of that. But you would not be alone. I would be there fighting with you, shoulder to shoulder."- Elijah now said.
Elena looked at the vampire seriously again-
"And you really - my body is full of scars- and I can't give you children"
"Shshshsh"- Elijah put a finger on the Huntress' lips gently, saying-
"You are beautiful to me as you are, scarrings or not. As I said I do not wish to be parted from ever again."- Elijah said dearly brushing her cheeks.
"I love you."- Elena said again now pressing her lips to his.
Lost in their own moment of love, they didn't notice Jeremy walking in the room.
The hunter coughed a little to get their attention.
Both Elijah and Elena now turned around, acting like teenagers caught doing something they shouldn't have.
"I presume congratulations are in order."- Jeremy said with a little smile.
Elena nodded with a big smile saying-
"Yes, we are engaged."
Jeremy was delighted and now went into a happy hug with her sister. Then shaking hands with Elijah, conveying how thrilled he was that they found their way to one another.

A month later
Pemberly, Mikaelson Estate
" Do you, Count Elijah Mikaelson take Lady Elena to be your lawfully wedded wife and live together forever in the estate of holy matrimony? Do you love, comfort, honour and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse for as long as you both shall live?" - the minister asked.
"I do."- Elijah said looking at Elena lovingly.
"Do you, Lady Elena take his Lordship Count Elijah Mikaelson to be your lawfully wedded husband and live together forever in the estate of holy matrimony? Do you love, comfort, honour and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse for as long as you both shall live?" - the minister asked looking at Elena now.
"I do."- Elena said smiling at Elijah.
The minister now gave a little hint to Klaus to pass on the rings to his brother.
Elijah took the ring and the minister now continued-
"The wedding ring is an unbroken symbol of the everlasting love and commitment between the Vampire and the Huntress. Repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed."
As Elijah put the ring on Elena's finger he repeated the words-
"With this ring, Elena, I thee wed."
Elena then took the ring meant for Elijah and repeated the words as she put the ring on the vampire's finger-
"With this ring, Elijah, I thee wed"
"With the power vested in me by the Gods and the State of Louisiana, I now pronounce you wedded. You may kiss the bride."
Both Elena and Elijah now smiled a little, and the vampire narrowed the gap between them and kissed his bride with all the love that was burning inside of him for so long.
All, the family, as well as friends, cheered now for the couple. Elijah and Elena pulling out of the kiss now let everyone come forward to congratulate them. As they finally got free from all the well-wishers, they walked out of the little chapel on Estate, holding onto one another,
Forever and Always.

P.S.
Bonnie and Kol had already got married in Mystic Falls, as they could not wait any longer.
Jeremy met a fellow Huntress Sarah, and married her a year or so later. They had three children. Elena was a proud and loving aunt.
As for Klaus, he was still fighting to gain Caroline's affections, hoping sincerely she would accept him one day.
Oh, and Elijah and Elena adopted twin brother and sister.
They all lived happily ever after.
