[[Wedding]]

Christmas Eve had seemed the perfect time to get married. Elena loved Christmas, a holiday she'd only come to celebrate as an adult and part of the Pack. This would be her first away from them; away from all of the effort Jeremy would go to, making sure Stonehaven was absolutely perfect. Here it was just Clayton and her, her hand drifting to her already curving belly at that thought. It would be their last Christmas alone, that was definite. But without the Pack, without Jeremy, it had made sense to them both that they try and make it as much a celebration as they could.

They'd decided to have the wedding at the house, clearing out the living room to make room for their friends. A crackling fire gave the room warmth, and the tree they had felled together stood proudly in the corner, covered with little lights but nothing else in the way of decoration. On the mantle there was a snow globe with two wolves in it, their only other Christmas decoration and a recent acquisition.

Elena wore the same dress that she'd worn to Hermione's wedding. Beaded and off-white, it didn't fit as well as it had then. By their count she was ten weeks pregnant, but already she looked closer to four months. She didn't care about that, she would have been happy getting married in jeans. The celebrant spoke of simple things; committment and love. Elena knew that they had that already. She knew that in the nearly thirteen years since they'd first come together they'd been through more than most couples could ever dream of. Being turned into a wolf, kidnapping, magic attacks, killer mutts... The list went on and on and that didn't include the things that they'd done together.

When she said I do she could feel the tears welling, and for once she didn't care about that either. She'd grown up needing to be strong and tough, and finally she could let another side of herself show. The side that was scared for what they were getting into, but loved Clayton completely and wouldn't want to have her life without him.

She kissed him and heard the cheers of their friends. It was done. They were now Mr and Mrs Danvers.

Honestly, Elena could have told Clayton that she wanted to get married any day, any time and under any kind of circumstances, and he would have said yes. It was more than the fact that he wanted her to be his wife, he wanted to see her happy. Especially since this day had taken so long to finally come around. It was the right time though, he knew that. They had gone through their ups and downs, nearly losing each other more than once, and they had come through it stronger than ever. Now he knew their relationship and everything they had fought for would work out.

So he said his vows with conviction and every emotion that he felt as he watched her tearing up a bit. He said it all clearly, not grunting or staying silent like he usually did. He wanted her and everyone to know that he meant what he said when he promised himself to her for the rest of their lives. Not that he hadn't made that promise before to her but it felt more real when they slid their wedding bands on.

Once they were done, he kissed her with everything he was feeling despite everyone watching. That moment was only for them, after all. Then he drew back with a wide smile as he kept an arm around her middle and nodded to the people who attended the wedding.

After he didn't venture far from his new wife's side. He did give her some space though as he knew she would want to wander around and talk to people. He was even willing to be a little social himself as he was in a great mood. His only wish was that Jeremy was still there or that anyone in the Pack could have come. Still, he smiled as he glanced around and sipped his drink.

"I love you too." He turns towards her slightly, sensing her before she even starts to speak. That's just how in-tune they are with each other after all this time. Reaching to take her hand, he nods as he links their fingers and smiles when he feels her wedding ring brushing against his. "I'm always happiest with you, you know that."

"I thought I was doing good. I haven't threatened or thrown anyone out yet." He grins a little, a soft thread of amusement in his tone as he looks around at the crowd once more. It's strange to think about how his ring actually feels different to him now despite the fact that he has worn it for so long but it does. It feels stronger, warmer, to him.
