Hi Guys, I just want to say thank you for 200+ reads. When I started this story I didn't think it would reach 100 reads, not 200. Also, I really enjoyed writing this chapter and I really wanted to see something like this in Shadowhunters. Enjoy reading!

Clary was nervously pacing up and down in her room. Light from the late spring afternoon making her engagement ring shine in hundreds of colors. "Clary relax. It's your wedding day, not execution. Mom will bring the dress, I'll make your makeup, Magnus has finished the decoration and Maia has taken care of the food." Izzy was sitting on her bed, examining her nails. "I know, it's just-what if I won't be perfect? What if the wedding won't be perfect?" Izzy exhaled, stood up and put her arms on Clary's shoulders, her parabatai rune visible on her wrist. "Wedding doesn't have to be perfect. It's a celebration of love, not perfection. Gosh, still can't believe my parabatai is getting married" with these words Izzy hugged Clary. "Alright girls, the dress is here." Maryse announced. Shadowhunters got married in gold, so the dress was a long, big golden gown, on the edge lined with runes of love. Straps of the dress were hanging around shoulders. It was beautiful, Clary thought. "Well, I think it's time to get you ready." Izzy said and gave her a reassuring smile.
Jace was playing with the collar of his shirt. He was just as nervous as excited. He was going to marry a woman he loved more than anything in this world today. "Nervous huh?" Alec shut the door behind him. "Maybe a bit." "Trust me, I know the feeling. But when you'll see her walking to the altar all of it will fall away and there will be just her and no one else." Jace gave a quick smile before he returned to his collar.
After Izzy made Clary's make up which Clary was grateful wasn't way too 'Izzy styled' and did something with her hair, which Clary had no idea what it was because her hair looked the same as before, it was time to get dressed. Clary put on the dress and Izzy tied it. When Clary looked at herself in the mirror she felt like one of the Disney Princesses she admired when she was little. But everything changed since then. She never thought she was gonna get married, and if so, she imagined her mom being there. Back then she didn't know exactly who she was or who she belonged to. But today she knew who she was and who she belonged to. She was a Shadowhunter and she belonged to Jace. "Alright Clary, I think it's time for me to go." Izzy announced, hugged Clary once again and walked out of the room. In the doorway, she almost collided with Maia. "Wow, you look beautiful." "Thank you, Maia, it means a lot to me." "So, are you ready?" "Well, only if two of you are." Clary said and glanced from Maia to Maryse.
Jace got more and more nervous every single second. Then the music finally started playing and bridesmaids started coming into the room. First was Madzie, then Maia. And finally, there was Luke, walking Clary down the aisle. She was stunning and not only stunning she was perfect, he thought. Luke took a step back and gave her a quick reassuring smile. When their gazes met, Jace understood what Alec meant when he said what he had said before. There was no one else in the room anymore, just the two of them. All the stress fell apart. When she was about to reach the altar Jace gave her his hand and smiled. "You can start with your promises" Brother Zachariah declared. "I will love you until the day I die..." Jace started. "And until there will be a world in which I could love you. I will accept you for being who you are..." "And won't try to change you. I will walk with you through storms and hurricanes..." "And I'll never leave your side. Every time there will be a piece of you missing I'll give it back..." "And every time you'll fall I'll be there to help you on your feet." "I will love you, always and forever." They both said it at the same time. "Now you can exchange the runes." Jace picked up his stele from the altar and started drawing rune of love near Clary's heart. This rune burnt a much more than another rune, Clary thought, but so did the parabatai one. When he got finished Clary picked up her own stele and started drawing on his hand. When she finished brother Zachariah said: "I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Jace pulled her closer and kissed her, hard, soft, slow, all at once. He urged her harder against him. It was kiss that held so many emotions that Clary thought they were alone floating somewhere in the air. They pulled away and walked down the aisle, hand in hand.
The wedding reception was in the institute's training room. The place held some memories but that's why they chose it, to prove that they cannot be separated anymore. Everyone was having good fun. Magnus, Alec and Madzie, Simon and Izzy, Helen and Aline and a lot of other people. Maryse helped them create a list of wedding guests containing long-time friends of families Fairchild and Herondale. Of course, the list included all of their actual friends and a lot of clave members. Suddenly the music stopped playing and Izzy stepped up. "Alright, dear guests I'd like to announce something. From the powers of the head of the New York Institue, I have the right to choose a new head of the institute. I'd like to announce that I have chosen Clary and Jace Herondale to become new heads of the New York Institute. Cheers on them." "Cheers." went through the crowd. Soon enough everyone returned to dancing and having fun. Soft and slow music started playing, and everyone was swaying in its rhythm. "So, what do you think about your new name? Clarissa Herondale?" Jace asked pulling Clary closer to him. "Well, it could've been better, but I like it. And how about you?" "You know I love it." Clary kissed him, soft and long. "You know, a year ago I would have never even imagined this. Us. Being together, at our wedding reception, being happy. You can never leave me again Clary. Because I could not survive it, I just couldn't." "You know I won't, I can't, remember?" she said against his lips with a smile. He kissed her on her lips, hard and hot. "You know, Jace there are wedding guests. Lots of them. But if you want to we can go upstairs." "Mhm, maybe later." he said playing with a lock of her hair. She hit him on the chest playfully and laughed. She wrapped her hands around his neck, and he has gone to wrap his around her waist, pulling her as close as they could get. The fun took the whole night, and when the sun was about to come up Clary and Jace disappeared from their wedding. Clary would have never thought she would be disappearing from her wedding. When they got to Jace's room, actually now their room, Jace softly settled Clary on his bed. He crawled on top of her, kissing her fiercely. He untied her dress and soon enough it found itself on the floor along with her shoes.
