Happily Ever After

I was so nervous, I was afraid something was going to go wrong, even though all my closest friends told me it was just cold feet. From the beginning I said that I did not want a wedding with many people, only the necessary ones, which were my sister Becca, the Lightwood family, my friends and the shadowhunters who were closest to us.

A marriage between a Shadowhunter and a Dalighter was not well regarded in the past, but since Alec became the inquisitor of Shadow World, things have changed radically. My choices for bridesmaids resulted in Becca and Clary, who were the two most important people in my life, without being Jeca clearly. And Jace's best man would be Alec and Izzy.

Tomorrow was the long-awaited day and I was still finishing decorating the room with Izzy's help. Not that she wanted me to help her, but I insisted so much that she had to let me help. Of course, I had my doubts, but none were about my love for Jace.

"Is everything okay, Si?" Asked Izzy.

- Yes, it's just nerves because of the wedding, that's all.

- Take it easy, everything will be fine. Then you have your bachelor party and tomorrow you are going to walk on this altar and marry the man of your life.

- Wow this is beautiful! - exclaimed Clary when entering the room. - I came to get my best friend to go shopping with me, I really have to buy a dress for tomorrow.

- So the wedding is tomorrow and you still haven't bought the dress? That doesn't even look like yours, Clary.

- I know, but I've been on missions and haven't had time yet. But now you're going to stop bothering me with the brain and hang out with me.

I went with Clary to the mall and two hours later we already had the dress and shoes bought for tomorrow's big day. We went to my apartment where Jace and I lived and went to get ready for my bachelor party at the bar where Maia works.

I admit that I was even having fun with the girls, but I was even more happy when I arrived at my warm and cozy little house. There was already Jace, lying on our bed, but still awake.

I lay down beside him and shortly afterwards we fell asleep. When I woke up I had a note on Jace's pillow saying that I had gone to the institute to prepare and I was also going there, but later a little bit. I got up, put on a tracksuit and went to have breakfast.

I took my car and went to the institute because in a few hours a married man was going to leave. But before, there was something I had to ask a certain person.

"Did you call?" Asked Alec, opening the door to the room where I was getting ready for the ceremony.

- Yes, I know we were never and we are not that close, but I consider you a valuable friend, I wanted to ask you something. Will you take me to the altar?

- Of course I accept, are you kidding? It would be an honor Simon.- said Alec hugging me.- I have to go finish preparing, but before I leave I want you to know that I always considered you an important friend, Si.

After he left my room, I went to the bathroom, but I heard the door slam, although I thought it would be Alec who forgot something.

- Alec, did you forget ... Jace? What are you doing here? Have you ever heard that it is bad luck to see the groom dressed before the wedding?

- I missed you, I had to come and see you and kiss you, or two ... Or even three. You know I don't believe it! And if it were true, which is not, I would marry you in any situation, even if the institute was on fire, I would find a way to marry you at that moment. Nothing and no one will stop me from getting married, in two hours from now, precisely, with the love of my life.

- You do not exist!

- But you like me this way.

- I like it, but if you don't mind here, the groom has to finish preparing for his wedding. Do you know what will happen in just two hours? Well, that's why I love you, I'm glad you came but goodbye, "he said, giving her a kiss on the lips and closing the door in his face.

Two hours later...

It was time, everything was in their positions, the guests in their places, the priest to administer the ceremony and the person who was going to take me to the altar was on my side to calm my nerves. We received a message from Clary saying that we could already come and left the room where I was.

As I walked towards the altar, the music became louder and louder, but I was only able to pay attention to the person standing next to the priest ready to receive me with love and a super smile.

- We are gathered here to celebrate the union between Jace Wayland and Simon Lewis. I heard you both brought your vows, you can read them when you feel ready.

- I can start then. Jace from the moment I woke up on that cold, dark night that I had the feeling that you would be one of the most important people in my life, I don't know if it was because I only saw you at that moment ... But the truth is years later, I noticed you were right! The day I asked you to date was the most stressful and happy day of my life, but it didn't compare to the day you asked me to marry you. I am fortunate to have you in my life and to say that we will always be one. I love you so much Jace Wayland.

- Well, following this is complicated, but I'll try. Before I met you, mundane or vampiric version, I thought that my life would be just connecting with my missions, killing demons, protecting mundanes and maintaining peace among the varied beings that make up this world that almost nobody knows. But when I met you, my life took a 360 degree turn. You changed my life in a way that even I wouldn't know it was possible, but I'm glad you did it because today I feel like the happiest person in the universe and that just happens because I have you by my side every day. You were, you are and you will always be the best thing that ever happened to me!

- Fate intervenes in various ways, but he decided to bring these two people together in marriage, so I ask the audience if anyone has any reason why these two young people should not owe their homes, speak now or be silent forever. Very well, as there were no interventions and with all the power that was attributed to me, I declare to you husband and husband.

The rest of the ceremony and the wedding reception was fantastic and everything went as planned. Today was the happiest day of my life and the beginning of a very happy and complete life with my husband, my family and my friends.
