♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢
Jace POV (bc all I do is Alec or Magnus anymore)

"Jeez Alec, calm down. It's just the rehearsal. You're not getting married until tomorrow."

I doubt that actually calms his nerves, but he nods and smiles nonetheless. Anyone can plainly see that he is terrified of this. Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. You're just making a tie with someone you already love.

"How were you so calm when you got married?" Alec asks me.

I smile as I remember Clary walking down the aisle in her gold wedding dress, gold ruined decorating her arms, a radiant smile on her face. "I was at first," I answer, "but when I saw Clary walk down the aisle, my fear disappeared and all I saw was her."

"Yeah, but I'm the one walking down the aisle!" he protests. He looks even more pale than usual, his blue eyes even more striking. Wedding nerves.

(A/N: I can always picture Alec being the one to walk down the aisle idk, I don't really know how this whole thing is gonna work yet. :/)

I put a hand on his shoulder and give him a reassuring smile. "You'll be fine. I promise."

Izzy POV

My bridesmaid dress is light blue, a color that Magnus decided looks good on me, Clary, and Catarina. To be honest, we do look good. We have matching blue flowers in our hair, and are waiting for the rehersal to start.

(A/N: Guys I'm getting so tingly writing about this ahhhhhh.)

Magnus walks over, his face red from embarrassment. I look behind his shoulder and see Maryse giving him a steely look.

"What's that about?" I ask.

Magnus swallows. "She threatened that if I screw up in any way, I'm dead. That look in her eyes. . ." he shudders and I laugh.

"Don't worry, her bark is worse than her bite," I reassure him.

"Yeah, well her bark is plenty scary for me."

We all laugh, then get in our places.

It goes by in a blur, but I'm sure tomorrow will be different. I can pick out little details: Alec, looking like he's seen a ghost, Magnus beaming even though this is just a run-through, the bouquet of white lilies I clutch in my hands.

Soon it's all over and everyone is heading to their homes, to sleep or prepare for tomorrow. Alec starts to head back with Magnus, but Clary and I pull him back, laughing, saying they can't see each other until tomorrow.

Alec gives Magnus a pleading look, one that says HELP ME ,before we pull him into the car.

Magnus POV

I've never been so fucking conflicted in my life.

I mean, I'm getting married tomorrow. Of course, I'm excited, who wouldn't be? I get to finally bag my gorgeous Shadowhunter- permanently.

You know, until he dies. Which is why I'm conflicted. I don't want him to go. Because if I marry him, I'll become even more attached, and when he does, it'll be even harder. I don't know what I'll do with myself. He saved me, and after he's gone, I don't know how I'll cope.

I'm so scared of losing him I can't even enjoy the fact that I'm getting married tomorrow- admittedly for the 5th time, but still.

I smile as get into my very empty bed. It's missing Alec of course, and it's colder than usual. But after tomorrow, it'll be nothing but warm.

Now I'm squealing like a teenage fangirl about a mortal boy, a mortal boy with blue eyes and black hair and a shy disposition and an irresistible smile. A mortal boy who makes my whole body feel like it's on fire, a mortal boy who used to be so scared, but was so strong, a mortal boy who I'm getting married to tomorrow.

God, I love being in love.

Alec POV

"AHHHHHHH!" I yell into my pillow. "Get the hell out of here, Izzy! I'm fine!"

She makes a sound of protest, but there is no more knocking at my rune-locked door. I sigh in relief and sit up.

I haven't slept alone for around 4 years. It feels weird. I wonder if Magnus is feeling the same way.

I can't believe it's finally happening. Not only am I getting married, but there is nobody in this fucking screwed up world who wants or can stop me. I am hell-bent on marrying Magnus Bane.

I look at the tux hanging from my closet and smile. There is a light layer of gold glitter on it; it's Magnus's fault for hugging me so many time.

The glitter brings back so many memories, so I just lay back and close my eyes and reminisce about my warlock, and suddenly my eyes are drooping, and then I'm in a Magnus-filled sleep.

Short chapter, I know, but I'm building the shit up to the Big Day.

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS SOUNDTRACK HAS RUINED MY LIFE
My favorites are:
Wait- M83
Not About Angels- Birdy

And I had to play a board game with my family.
I checked the time under the table every five seconds it was so traumatizing.

I will update the last chapter on Friday, because I'm going to:
•write it
•edit it
•edit it
•have someone else read it and get feedback
•edit it

Because I want it to be perfect for all my little readers. *gives big, squishy hugs*

Also, I need book recommendations, something to take my mind off of the amazing COHF.
