Prologue

B.PV

I silently swore as I tripped over the last step on the Cullen's gargantuan set of stairs. The only reason I tripped was because of the shiny boulder set on a platinum base sitting gently on my left hand's middle finger. It had been exactly two days since Edward had proposed to me in our now sacred meadow...

"Bella!!" Alice's beautiful, musical voice called out. It broke me out of my trance. "Its time to decide which tiara your going to wear on top of your veil!!" Alice hollered. Personally, I thought wearing a tiara on your head for your wedding was ridiculous unless you really were a princess. But since Alice was planning the wedding, I decided to let her get away with it… But anyways, who wouldn't want to make themselves look prettier on their wedding day?

When I finally stumbled down the tortuously long stairs to Alice's downstairs bathroom, Alice was tapping her tiny foot very rapidly. She had already laid out the tiara's on the table. I stared for what seemed like an eternity.

The tiara's were gorgeous, but from this faraway, I couldn't see them very well with these weak human eyes." Where did you get these sparkling things way to pretty for me to wear?" I warily asked the pixie. "Don't worry, they were Edward's mother's and he said to give them to you." I stood their with my mouth open like an idiot, but Alice would not have it.

She quickly dragged me into a high stool in front of a vanity mirror that looked like it belong to a movie star. Alice then pulled out the first masterpiece.

It was beautiful, like an angel sent from heaven. A small tear-shaped diamond was at the very top center and was suspended with a simple frame of silver loops and twirls. It aslo managed to dangle enough that when I took my very clumsy step towards the mirror to see what it looked like, it caught the last of the fading light and sparkled like a vampire. At the end of every loop and twirl was a beautiful sapphire that was round cut. As Alice gently lifted in in my hair, I saw that it was perfect for me. It represented Edward's love for me and my love for him. It was perfect. And whether Alice knew it or not. It was just perfect.

But unfortunetly, Alice had insisted that I try them all on. Alice lifted it off my head and then picked up the other tiara. It was too modern for my liking. It was very fancy and intricate, and with my clumsiniess, it looked especially fragile. It had a beautiful lavender colored gem in the middle, but I thought it was sort of sad looking for a wedding. Alice also agreed with my decision.

The last one was beautiful. The center diamond had a brilliant oval cut while it was surronded by golden arches and loops. It was definetly pretty, but it was kind of like Rosalie. It was beautiful, but it just dind't suit me.

That was finally it. My last touch on my outfit. No more shopping at the malls for the perfect set of shoes or anything. I was finally done. I looked up at Alice with happiness etched onto my face."We're done!!" But Alice suddenly reminded me... I still had to shop for Edward's wedding ring.
