Chapter 1-

Mark and Lucy

The warm orange glow of the sun set crept over my skin, and I couldn't help but smile as I watched Mark and Lucy take their first dance as husband and wife. A sunset is one of the most intriguing images you can ever see. Not only is it stunning to look at it, but it symbolizes the end of a day. In today's case, it symbolised the beginning of a new life for the newlyweds, which made it all the more special.

My name is Isabella Swan. I was born in Forks, Washington. Daughter to Charlie and Renee. I am 5'5; I have pale skin, brown hair and brown eyes and of average build; not much of a "stunner" as some might say, but it doesn't matter, because the only thing I value right now, is my occupation.

I am a wedding planner.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I lead a highly romantic lifestyle filled with candles, flowers and heart shaped candy. Every girl dreams of meeting the guy of their dreams, falling in love and then marrying that guy. Well you're wrong. I have those dreams; I mean who doesn't want a happy ending? But my life consists of making those romantic dreams come true for others. And believe it or not, it's a deeply satisfying feeling at the end of the day.

Now, back to the sunset. I watched silently as the sun dipped into the horizon, as Lucy and Mark's wedding started to wind down. It was a small beach event with only fifty guests, and it was beautiful. The whole wedding went without a hitch, and I've come to believe that it's the most moving wedding I have organized to date. The ceremony was short and sweet and totally devoted to happy couple.

To be perfectly honest it's small weddings like this that hold true emotional value; the ones that are purely focused on the love of two people and not on the size of the wedding cake. Mark spun Lucy around once and kissed her, bringing their dance to an end as the final notes of 'From this moment' by Shania Twain played out across the beach. I clapped along with the rest of the guests as I wondered if I'd ever experience that.

Lucy ran to me, tears running down her cheeks. When she reached me she pulled me into her arms hugging me tightly.

"Thank you so much Bella!" she cried into my shoulder. "I've never been so happy, none of this would have happened if it weren't for you."

"You're more than welcome Lucy. You deserve to be happy." I replied, hugging her back. After our embrace she gave me a quick appreciative peck on the cheek and ran back to join the party.

A smile crept back onto my face as I watched the people around me. Everyone here was enjoying themselves; from the drunken father-in-law, drinking his body weight in alcohol, to the best man flirting with the maid of honour, and finally, the happy couple, who were both glowing with love's warmth and joy. Everyone was content, and with that in mind, I picked up my bag from the table. Giving everything one last sweeping look and smile, I quietly made my exit from the celebrations. Yes, another eventful day, another successful wedding. I may not have any of this for myself, but helping people make memories and granting them immense happiness, even for a day, is one of the many reasons I love my job.
