"Ready Bells?" Charlie asked, in a voice that made it obvious he did not agree with my decision.
"Of Course!" I responded quickly, hoping the swiftness of my response would erase some doubt from his mind.
He did not seem comforted, as he began to pull the veil over my face. Neither he nor Renee had taken the news very well. Charlie's reaction to the engagement was definitely better than Renée's. He simply didn't talk to me for a week and half. When I called Renee to tell her the big news, she screamed for about ten minutes then abruptly slammed the phone down. She called back two weeks later to say she would attend the wedding, but she was not happy at all with my decision.
As expected, Alice went way overboard. The one decision I had made was the location of the wedding and reception, the Cullen's house. Other than that it was all Alice.
The colors that were picked were white and dark blue (Edward's favorite), and the flowers were white roses. The ceremony was in the back yard, and everything looked like it was from a fairy tale.
The music began to play, that's my cue I thought to myself.
As I began my walk down the aisle, arm and arm with Charlie, I was stunned to hear what the music was. It was my lullaby.
I glanced across the yard and saw the beautiful creature waiting for me at the other end. He had my favorite crooked smile of his on his face and his eyes were a color I had never seen before, almost a butterscotch color.
As we walked, I gazed into the crowd. Angela and Mike were there, as well as Lauren. Alice invited her, and she gladly accepted remembering my extravagant graduation party. I continued to scan the crowd and was startled when I saw him. Jacob. What was he doing here? I didn't have time to think because at that moment I felt Edward's stone cold hands embrace mine.
He leaned into my ear and whispered "I love you, you are my life."
I stared into his eyes, suddenly feeling weak at the knees. Edward knew the look in my face and quickly put his arms around me in a firm grip, to make sure I wouldn't fall.
"Breathe" he said, trying to hold back his laughter.
He then led me to the alter, not breaking eye contact for one second.
Edward had made one decision in the planning of the wedding, and that was to have Carlisle marry us. Of course, I was overjoyed by this decision.
Carlisle cleared his throat and began.
"Dearly beloved, we are…."
I wasn't listening; I was still staring into those beautiful eyes.
He was staring back at me, looking worried probably thinking I had cold feet. When I realized this, I quickly mouthed I love you so much, after this the worry left his beautiful face.

"You may now kiss the bride" Carlisle stated, and at that the crowd began cheering.
Edward brought his hands to my face and kissed me, passionately and delicately at the same time. When our lips separated he took my hands and we began our walk down the aisle.
When we entered the house, Edward was smiling bigger than I had ever seen before.
He turned to me instantly.
"What are you thinking, Mrs. Edward Cullen?"
I was overjoyed that that was finally my name. I thought for a moment and responded.
"I'm wondering if now is a good time to talk about my one demand." I said with a hopeful grin on my face.
His smile widened "Don't worry; we will take care of that tonight, love. But here is a preview."
Before I could process what he had said, he had me cradled in his arms like a baby kissing me in a way I never knew was possible.
Suddenly we heard Alice, and he broke away. Still holding me though, he said "Alice we are in the middle of something!"
She had the worried look on her face and at the Edward gently let me down. He stared at Alice, she had seen something. His arms wrapped around my waist at once and I knew he was in protection mode.
He nodded once, and Alice scurried back outside.
"What did she see?" I asked in an almost annoyed voice. It was my wedding day, why couldn't the vision have waited?
Edward was still staring at where Alice had been standing when he realized what I had asked. His eyes slowly moved toward mine and I could tell he was debating whether or not to tell me the truth.
"I don't want to hurt you." He said in a somber tone.
"Tell me." I responded.
"Jacob didn't come today to congratulate us."
"Explain." I said abruptly.
