One Year and a Half Later...

The cold night spring wind traveled into the bedroom of Angelina. In that room, Angelina was helping Jazlyn get ready for her big night. Jazlyn was wearing a white long silk robe that covered her dress so no makeup can ruin the beautiful dress that Angelina made for her. She also made her own dress. It was a long dark burgundy dress with a sweetheart neckline and straps that traveled down the bare back, creating a V. Her hair was down and had a natural wave look to it.

Jazlyn's knee bounced with anticipation for the wedding ceremony to start. She hasn't seen Harry for three days straight. The reason why was because the boys took Harry out for a bachelor party. Harry promised her that there wouldn't be any strippers. Only five best friends spending time together before he entered the marriage life.

"You're almost done," Angelina said as she swiped a powder brush along Jazlyn's face, "With the makeup at least."

"Is everything set up?" Jazlyn asked her. "Are you sure nothing is going to go wrong?"

"Everything will be fine," she assured Jazlyn. "Trust me, this wedding is going to be perfect, especially since it was a planned one."

Jazlyn laughed, "Well, you could always remarry Niall if you want a real one."

She shook her head, "No, the first one will always be the best. Maybe we'll renew our vows when we hit our five thousand year anniversary." Angelina set down the brush and moved to Jazlyn's hair. She began to remove the rollers and skillfully set it in place. She swept the hair to the side, gathered half of the hair, and pinned it. For the final touch, Angelina placed three red roses in the mid section of Jazlyn's hair.

Jazlyn looked in the mirror and smiled. Her skin glowed beautifully, all features were revealed perfectly, and making Jazlyn seem angelic. Her eyeshadow was a modest smokey eye effect and her eye lashes were bold and beautiful. The lipstick was a shade darker than her natural lip color and shined with gloss. Her hair was delicately fixed with large curls and draped over her shoulder. She smiled at the sight of the roses on her hair.

"I love it," Jazlyn gushed. "Am I finished now?"

Angelina shook her head. "I have something for you." She handed her a small box that was wrapped in a white gift wrap and a beautiful bow.

Jazlyn squealed excitedly as she picked up the box. She unwrapped it and opened it. She gasped and looked at Angelina. "They're beautiful!" Inside the box was chandelier earrings with marquise diamonds and a pearl at the very end.

Angelina smiled and slipped them on Jazlyn. "They're yours. Consider it a wedding gift out of the many I have for you."

"What do you mean?" Jazlyn frowned. "How many gifts did you get us?" The guest list was meant to be small. It was only the coven and the girlfriends that were to attend the wedding.

"Well, everyone got you at least three gifts. Niall and I decided to spoil you a little more and got the two of you more than one gift."

"Like what?"

"For you, I know how much you love lingerie and night dresses," Angelina glared at Jazlyn, remembering how Jazlyn went into Angelina's closet and took Angelina's garter and night dress. "So, I bought you many of them. They were sent to the island so it will be ready and waiting for your honeymoon. I also got you summer outfits."

Jazlyn smiled and hugged Angelina. "Thanks for this. I don't even know how I would repay you for all of this."

Angelina shrugged, "Don't worry about it. Even though it was short lived, my honeymoon with Niall was perfect."

"Yeah, it should have been since you were gone for a whole year instead of six months!" Jazlyn laughed.

Angelina giggled, "We were having too much fun. Besides, it was much needed. I'm going to see how Harry is and see if the ceremony is ready to begin. No crying, Jazlyn. I don't want your makeup getting ruined. Don't forget your bouquet!"

Jazlyn nodded, "I'll try not to." Once the door closed, Jazlyn sighed and stared at herself in the reflection. She smiled at the thought of what Harry would think of her when she walked down the aisle. Jazlyn slipped off her robe and stared at herself in the mirror and grabbed the bouquet. She couldn't help but smile at the reflection. If she was able to smile at her own reflection and from how beautiful she looked, then Harry will smile too.

Angelina knocked on the door to Harry's bedroom. Harry was spending hours trying to tie his tie properly, but he was so nervous that he kept messing up. When he said come in, Harry smirked at her. "Well, you look beautiful."

"Not too beautiful I hope," Angelina smiled. "I'm not the bride."

"How is she?"

"She's nervous, but excited."

Harry sighed and loosened his tie. "Can you?"

Angelina laughed as she stood in front of Harry and fixed his tie. "How are you feeling?"

"Same as Jazlyn," He answered. "I'm nervous and excited. Nervous because I have a feeling that she would leave me at the alter."

"That's a good one," Angelina scoffed. "The two of you went through a lot the past year. If she didn't walk out during that time, there is no way it's happening now."

"Incoming!" shouted Louis as him and the rest of the boys walked into the room. "He's getting married and he can't tie a tie yet?"

Harry rolled his eyes, "Very funny, Mate."

Liam squeezed Harry's shoulders, "Don't mess up. Don't trip, don't do anything stupid. Please tell me you wrote down your vows."

Harry began tapping at his chest, looking for the vows he wrote for Jazlyn. "Where are they?" Harry checked the inside pockets of his blazer and then at his dress pants. "I can't find them. This isn't good!"

"Just speak from the heart," Angelina shrugged. "There's nothing wrong with that. Alright, do you at least have the rings?"

Harry nodded and held the rings up. "Got them and they're going right back in my left pocket of my pants."

"We'll remember that," Niall promised.

Zayn nodded in agreement and looked at Angelina. "So, can I call dibs on marrying Perrie next?"

Angelina rolled her eyes, "Oh, my God! No!" She started to shove us all out of the room. "Alright, Jazlyn is supposed to be down there in fifteen minutes. So, we need to head downstairs."

Harry wasn't able to see what Angelina did exactly for the scenery of the wedding. He did inform her where they wanted to get married and some ideas that he had planned. She also discussed it with Jazlyn and Angelina told them not to worry.

As he walked with his family, Harry stopped and stared at the beautiful scenery. The pillars of the gazebo were now wrapped with lights and the vines perfectly. Along the seating area, the aisle was white candle fixtures and red petal roses that trailed to the gazebo. Resting along the railing of the gazebo were also candles and even had light fixtures hanging in the inside of the gazebo as well.

"What do you think?" Angelina asked Harry.

"It's perfect," Harry smiled. "Is Duchess Karenina here?"

"Yes, she's in the gazebo."

Harry walked up to the gazebo and bowed. He thanked the duchess for the kindness of her performing the ceremony for them. Angelina informed us that it was almost midnight and that Jazlyn was coming. Quickly, everyone got into their seats and Harry stood at the gazebo waiting for Jazlyn.

When he saw her for the first time in three days, he couldn't hold in the excitement. The dress was a halter with silk fabric and white floral fixtures along it. The torso part of the dress was fitted and showed Jazlyn's hips beautifully. Every delicate floral pattern of the dress was beautifully done and made her look like an angel. The dress flowed out elegantly once it was passed the hips and more delicate floral pieces were perfectly sewn in place. The thoughts in Harry's head raced, wondering how he was so lucky to find a girl that was as beautiful as Jazlyn.

As for Jazlyn, she felt her heart sink to her stomach once she saw Harry's reaction to her. His eyes lit up perfectly and his smile looked so genuine and made her feel even more beautiful than ever. She clutched tightly to the bouquet as she continued to walk down the aisle. She smiled at everyone and finally moved to Harry. Even though this probably wasn't allowed, Harry grabbed Jazlyn's hand and kissed it. Jazlyn couldn't help but smile at him being so romantic.

Duchess Karenina started the ceremony and the whole time, Harry couldn't stop staring at Jazlyn. He should've been paying attention to what the duchess was saying, but he was too distracted by Jazlyn. It was difficult for him to keep up with the ceremony.

As for Jazlyn, she knew that Harry was staring at her the whole time. She wanted to look at him, but if she did, she would be too lost in his eyes and not stay focus on the ceremony. In fact, she would probably demand the ceremony be paused so that Harry and her can have a little time to themselves.

"Harry, present the rings," Duchess Karenina instructed. Harry nodded and gave Jazlyn the ring that she was meant to put on him. "With these rings, your love will show and remain forever eternal."

Harry leaned forward and kissed the new piece of Jazlyn's ring, making her smile. Tears were forming in her eyes as she tried to not let them fall down.

"Together, may your love shine and remain strong forever. Do you have personal vows prepared?" Duchess Karenina asked. They both nodded and Harry gestured Jazlyn to go first.

Jazlyn cleared her throat, "The first time I came here, I wasn't expecting my life to be like this. I was expecting something completely different. The first time I saw you, I thought you were nothing but a monster. After that, you proved me wrong. You proved to me that it wasn't about what you are that makes you a monster. It's who you are that will decide it. There were times where I thought everything would be over. We fought so hard to stay together and this is where we ended up. Before I met you, I didn't know who I was as a person. I wanted a whole new life for me and that's what you gave me. You also gave me love, something I thought I didn't deserve from you for awhile. You treated me so wonderful and I did nothing but lie to you the first time, but thankfully you gave me another chance and I didn't blow it. All the things we've been through before, many would've given up, but not us. Even with what happened with Jacob, we still stayed together. We fought for our love and we never gave up. We stayed strong and that's what made me know that you truly do love me. I promise you, that I will always love you forever."

Harry wiped away his tear and then mine. Harry cleared his throat and looked deep into Jazlyn's eyes. "Just letting you know, I originally had one written out, but I lost it. It was just to make sure I didn't leave anything out and hopefully I don't now." Jazlyn giggled and continued smiling as Harry continued. "The first time I saw you, I knew that there was something about you that I just loved. I don't know what triggered it, but I just couldn't stay away from you. It was impossible for me to do something like that. I'm more than happy to know that this is why. You are my true love, soul mate, whatever you want to call it that is what you are. You're right, there are many people out there that would've moved on and broke up if they were in our situation, but we didn't. You make me strong every day. I need you in my life no matter what, you're what makes me strong. Every day I see you down, I will hold you close and make you happy again. We will spend time together on the island and enjoy our company wherever you want. I will always find a way to make your dreams come true. I will always be there for you, I will find a way back to you always, and we will be together so happily forever. I love you, Baby. And I will never regret it or be sorry for it. You are my forever."

Jazlyn's eyes glistened with the tears that leaked down her face. She couldn't hold them back, making Harry laugh as he hugged her tightly. "Why did you have to do that?" Jazlyn sobbed silently.

"It's what the vows are, Baby. I can't help it."

Louis scoffed, "Just bite the wrists and kiss already!" Eleanor gaped at Louis and slapped him on the arm for interrupting the wedding.

Jazlyn and Harry shot Louis a look, but Jazlyn composed herself. Duchess Karenina gestured them to get their wrists ready to bite. "With this, your love will be unbreakable. Nothing will destroy the bond that you two will forever hold upon one another. Your love will remain forever strong and powerful. Now, forever you will be claimed as yours. Forever, you're eternally a husband and wife. By the power vested in me as Duchess of the Immortals, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss your eternal bride."

Harry smiled as caressed Jazlyn's cheek and kissed her. He gracefully dipped her and continued to kiss, earning loud cheers and applause from his family. They both pulled away from each other and rested their foreheads together, smiling that they were finally together and nothing will ever destroy them again.

Their pure and delicate love was eternal forever and nothing could stop them from loving one another every day of forever...Angelina wrote down in the journal. She smiled at the final page of Jazlyn and Harry's story together.

Niall knocked on the door and smiled at Angelina. "This is where you were hiding?"

Angelina smiled, "Well, Harry and Jazlyn already left to the island and I needed to write down her wedding in the journal." Niall walked over and stared at the writing. He then started going to the first page of the journal. "No! The ink isn't dry yet!"

He smiled and read the first page of the journal. "You even put yours in here."

She laughed and turned it back to the page so that the ink can dry properly. "Along with Louis, Liam, and Zayn," She answered and blew on the page so the ink can dry faster. Once she was certain the ink was dry, Angelina closed the book and put the journal back on the shelf. "Jazlyn's going to have to read that some day. She'll be interested in knowing about our story and how we started off."

Niall nodded in agreement, "Yes, the coven. I'll be upstairs when you're done." He walked upstairs to their bedroom as Angelina smiled at the journal.

As she headed out of the study, her eyes lingered on the journal. Her mind started to remember all the good times and bad times that her and the coven went through. She thought about the times where she met each member of the coven. Angelina smiled and flicked the lights off in the study and closed the doors.

While Angelina walked upstairs, she thought, It would be nice to have Jazlyn read it after her honeymoon with Harry. After all, she is part of the family now.
