Edward's fingers gently caressed my own, tracing circles in an endless loop on my palm. I could feel the electricity in the air as even that simple act filled my entire body with anticipation. We were sitting in first class of the plane that was heading to Las Vegas and our impending wedding. How had this all happened so fast. One second I thought I had everything under control and I was going to finally get what I wanted when the tables got turned and I ended up engaged. Well this had to be the shortest engagement in history because within an hour we were headed to Las Vegas. I couldn't wait any longer to be Mrs. Edward Cullen and to reap the benefits of everything that came along with it.

The plane started making its ascent and my heart started to beat rapidly. Edward glanced in my direction and smiled my favorite crooked smile.

"Having a change of heart?" he murmured as his lips grazed the top of my head.

Instinctively my heart sped up at that simple contact. I briefly wondered how I would even manage to survive tonight. My heart was a bigger cause of alarm then Edward could ever be. I looked up at him and caressed his face with my left hand. I was momentarily distracted by the diamond sparkling that was now there. I knew with all my heart that this is what I wanted, what I had always wanted. I was Edward's forever and nothing was going to change that. I looked into his golden eyes, as always dazzled by the fact that this man wanted me and wondering how I could have gotten so lucky.

"I am yours for now and for eternity. The wedding is a formality, there was never any question."

He drew his breath in and crushed his lips to mine. All coherent thoughts quickly left my mind. I hoped that he would continue to have this effect on me for eternity. I couldn't bear to think of life without this kind of passion.

"Welcome to Las Vegas ladies and gentlemen. The current weather is 90 degrees and it is a beautiful night here. We know you have many choices when you fly and we thank you for flying United Airlines."

"Well my beautiful fiancée we are here. We have a car waiting for us; it's time to get to our hotel."

We walked out hand in hand to the lobby. We had packed nothing for our impromptu wedding and so we walked quickly to our waiting driver who was holding up a sign that said Mr. and Mrs. Cullen. I smiled and looked up into the glowing face of my soon to be husband. We were whisked away to our waiting limo and although the view inside the limo was hard to drag my eyes away from I couldn't help but look in awe at the bright lights of Las Vegas. Edward just smiled and caressed my back as I took everything in. We quickly arrived at our destination, the Venetian Hotel and were escorted out by our driver. We walked into the elegant lobby and Edward briskly walked to the concierge desk.

"Edward Cullen checking in please." He deftly reached into his pocket for his wallet. "I trust that everything has been taken care of?" He looked to the concierge for confirmation.

"All of your requests have been handled sir and may we offer our congratulations on your nuptials and thank you for choosing the Venetian. Please let us know if you may be of any further assistance." He handed Edward the card key, "The Bella suite is all ready for you."

"Thank you." Edward grabbed the card keys and wrapped his arm around my waist and guided me to the elevators.

"Bella Suite?" I couldn't contain my surprise.

"Just because we are in Vegas doesn't mean that I won't give you all the best that you deserve." With that Edward leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. I could feel the passion within him and knew that this wedding couldn't happen soon enough.

We exited the elevator and walked down the hall to our room. Edward inserted the card key and opened the door for me. The room was amazing. There was a sunken living room and on a raised level a large king size bed with a canopy hanging over it. I felt the color rise in my cheeks just from looking at it and imagining what we would be doing there later on tonight.

"Patience my love, patience," Edward whispered into my ear. He lifted my hair and placed slow lingering kisses up and down my neck.

My heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I knew he could hear it because he just looked down and smiled at me. How did I ever get so lucky? How could I be enough for him? I wanted to marry him now and never give him the chance to change his mind.

"We have one hour to get downstairs. If you look on the bed I believe there are some packages for you. Someone will be up to help you get ready momentarily and I will return in 45 minutes for you. I love you and can't wait for you to become my wife." With another lingering kiss he walked out the door.

I walked over to the bed and looked at the various boxes piled on there. I opened the largest one first and pulled out a gorgeous ivory gown. It was an off the shoulder gown with a fitted bodice and a long flowing skirt. Inside there was a note. "Just because I couldn't be there doesn't mean I can't help make things perfect. It will be wonderful" It was signed from Alice. My eyes teared up as I proceeded to go thru the remaining packages from shoes, jewelry, make up to an embarrassing white corset with a baffling amount of ties and lace. I looked everything over and tried to make sense of it all. Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Madam, I am Helga and I am here to help prepare you for your wedding."

"Oh thank goodness," I replied and hugged her as she walked in the door.

In no time at all she proceeded to help me into my attire and whisked me into the bathroom to apply make up and do my hair. I was both anxious and afraid to look into the mirror, wondering if I would recognize the person who met my eyes.

"Look at yourself," she urged me.

I stood up and walked to the full length mirror. Hardly able to believe my eyes, who was this fairy princess in front of me? I reached out my hand to the mirror in front of me not believing the transformation. As amazed as I was I couldn't wait for Edward to see me.

As if on cue there was a knock at the door. Helga rushed to answer it and I heard Edward's velvety tones and could barely breathe as anticipation rushed thru my body. I finally felt as if I truly deserved this man of my dreams and I couldn't wait to become his wife. I took a deep breath and walked into the living room.

My breath, unnecessary as it was, was stuck in my chest. I couldn't believe that this was my Bella. Her brown eyes shone with love as she looked at me. While always beautiful to me I couldn't even began to put into words how amazing she looked. I couldn't believe that all my dreams were coming true and that this angel in front of me was going to be my wife. I walked over to her and grabbed her hand, raised it my lips and kissed it.

"Bella, I love you more than I ever thought possible. You are my own personal angel sent to earth just for me and I can not wait any longer to make you my wife."

Her heartbeat was faster than I had ever heard it and her eyes glistened with tears. I gently kissed the corner of her eyes and guided her out of the room and to the elevator. I for once was speechless and could not think of the words that would express what I was feeling as we went down in the elevator. I just kept kissing each finger over and over again in anticipation of what was to come.

As we stepped off the elevator all eyes were on my Bella. She stood out like a mirage in the hotel. No one could take their eyes off her. I lead her to the canal where a white gondola was waiting just for us. I helped guide her down to the waiting boat and quickly followed in after her. Our gondolier Pierre and officant Father Brown were ready and the boat gently glided thru the water. I gently squeezed Bella's hand as Father Brown began our wedding ceremony. I could barely follow his words as I was only focused on Bella. I could tell she was in the same predicament as me because her eyes widened in surprise when it was time to say "I Do."

We quickly recited our vows, never taking our eyes off each other and before I knew it, it was time to kiss my bride. I gently placed my hands on either side of her face and brought her lips to mine. Slowly I pressed my hard lips to her incredibly soft pliant ones and kissed her with all the love I had for her. Her arms wrapped tightly around me, pressing me down into her and a sigh escaped her lips. I knew without a doubt that tonight would be unforgettable.
