Ch. 1 The Wedding Day.

Jasper's POV…

Warren and Lissy are getting married today, seven years to the day Warren came to meet us. They became an instant addition to the family. Carlisle and Esme adopted Lissy five years ago. She kept her Hale surname, becoming to the publics' mind a long lost little sister to myself and Rose, since she already looked so much like us. Warren adopted the Cullen surname after we found out that his father had joined hers in his search for the daughter he wanted to make a weapon. We've already fought with them both, and won. Christian Peace was no more, I killed him myself after he'd managed to kidnap Alice and Lissy while they'd been out shopping. When they realized they couldn't physically damage Alice, they hurt Lissy. Beat her till she couldn't fight back and gang raped her. All the while one of their gifted ones, held Alice in place, forcing her to watch. It took a long time for either to return to how they'd been. Carlisle, Emmett, Edward, and myself took out many of their fighters, and it's been four years since that awful day. However traumatic those events were for us, some good did come out of it. In the form of Rosalie's personal one eighty. Once she learned what Lissy had endured, she thawed to our newest sister. They've been close ever since and today both she and Alice, as well as Bella well serve as bridesmaids. Us guys will be groomsmen for our new brother. Warren. Who is pacing a hole in the floor in his nerves. I sent him some calming waves. He stopped pacing to smile at me. The last wedding in this family had been Edward and Bella's, and like then Alice was appointed planner. Of course Lissy was more able to stand up to Alice, so the colors and décor had all been approved per her wishes. Red was her main color, so all the bridesmaids dresses are red. Me, Edward and Emmett all have black pants, white shirts, emerald vests, red ties and black jackets. Warren's is the same almost. His vest and tie are both red and his shirt is black. With his hair back in a low ponytail, and the fitted suit, I have to admit Lissy will love it. I can hear her upstairs, getting ready with Esme and Alice. Rose did her hair, and Alice has been working on her makeup.

Lissy's POV…

It's been seven years to the day Warren came to the Cullen house in Maxville. We graduated Sky High early and went to Dartmouth college with Edward, Jasper, Alice and Bella. Five years since Esme and Carlisle adopted me. Now here I am, about to marry the love of my life. Warren Michael Peace-Cullen. He too has been adopted. After a run in with his now dead father, and some horrible things happened to me and Alice. I shake my head, forcing ugly thoughts away. Today is not the day to think of them. Alice is doing my makeup, and Rose did my hair. I haven't seen myself yet, but I know they will make me look good. Esme came in with Carlisle, and she has a box in her hands.

"Already you look beautiful dear." Esme says, hugging me. I can see the love and pride radiating off of her and Carlisle. I have to admit the dress I picked for her to wear looks wonderful on her. As soon as I saw it, I knew it's be perfect for my mother. Even though she's not biologically so, she is in every way that matters.

"Thank you Mom. You look perfect yourself. I knew that dress had your name on it." I feel the tears well.

"Daddy." I squeak, as he too hugs me.

"We have something for you." he says. Reaching back to take the box, Esme holds out.

"Daddy." I start, ready to protest them doing more then they have. His finger to my lips stops me.

"Now pumpkin, this means a great deal to your mother. Please." he says no more, and puts the small box in my hand.

"Alright, you win." I sigh, only pretending to be resigned. In actuality I'm excited as I open the box, to see a hair comb, encrusted with pearls and rhinestones. It looks old, and I love it.

"Momma. It's beautiful." I have to hold in the tears.

"I'm glad you like it, and it'll go wonderfully with your dress." she replies, hugging me and snagging the comb out of my hand at the same time. In a second she has it in my hair. The comb slides into the updo and out of sight. She and Carlisle each embraced me one last time before Alice shooed them out the door. I knew Carlisle wouldn't go far, since he was walking me down the aisle. She had my dress bag open, so I stood and pulled off the robe I'd been wearing. I pulled on my garter, and Alice helped me into the dress after she double checked the fastenings on the back of my white corset. Rose came in, looking stunning her red bridesmaids dress. Alice went to put hers on while Rose did up the back of my strapless A-line gown. It fit like a dream, and the red ribbon on the front matched the color theme. Bella came in with Alice, and I noted how beautiful they looked in their dresses. Rose had my necklace in her hand, and Bella the earrings that went with it. Bella gave me a hug, then stepped back so I could put the earrings on. Carlisle came in a second later.

"Girls, go take your positions. We are almost ready to start." and I took a second to admire the fitted grey pants, white shirt, grey vest, red tie and grey jacket. I'd never seen him so dressed up, but it proved my theory that all the men in my family cleaned up well. When I finally looked him in the face, I saw he was giving me the same once over. Pride and joy filled his amber eyes.

"My darling daughter. You truly are a vision. Warren will be beside himself. I know I am so proud of you. I can't put in words how much I love you, and I am honored to be your father." if he could cry I was sure he would be bawling. I felt a few tears slide down my face at his words.

"I love you too, so much Daddy. And I can't express how proud I am to be your daughter." I replied, emotion thick in my voice. We hugged for a minute, before he pulled a small red handkerchief from his pocket. I carefully blotted at my face, hoping I hadn't ruined Alice's hard work. While I did that, he moved behind me to put on the necklace Alice loaned me. As part of the something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue tradition. Taking a deep breath to regain my composure, I followed his lead out of the room. We took our place in the line that consisted of Bella and Emmett in front. Then Alice and Edward next, followed by Jazz and Rose. She was my maid of honor, and he was Warren's best man. Once in place Bella and Emmett headed down stairs. About a minute later Alice and Edward followed.

"Count to ten and follow us." Rose whispered as she and Jasper went down after them. I heard the music swell and knew that was our cue. Carlisle tucked by hand in the bend of his arm, and together we went down. The aisle was a long red carpet, with chairs on either side. Red and white ribbons held together huge arrangements of white calla lilies and red roses. We'd kept the guest list small, including the Denali Coven as well as Peter and Charlotte. The were several others I didn't know, yet I'd invited them since they were all friends of the family. That and they'd helped the Cullen's out of trouble when they'd needed it. In my book that made them important. Nessie and Jacob would be here also, but I caught sight of Warren, in his black tux, with the red tie. His hair in a low ponytail, Jasper stood beside him looking proud. I felt the waves of joy, and knew such a happy event had to be a buffet to the family empath. I smiled, my eyes never leaving Warrens face. He too was grinning hugely. Finally we made it to Warren, and Carlisle placed my hand in his, kissed my cheek and stepped back.

"Who gives this woman away to marry this man?" the preacher asked.

"I do." Carlisle answered from his spot beside Esme. With that the ceremony began, and soon enough it was time. Alice had found some vows on line and once I read them, we agreed to use them. Warren spoke first.

"I, Warren Michael Cullen take you Elisabeth Grace to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow, and forever. I will trust you and honor you. I will laugh with you and cry with you. I will love you faithfully. Through the best and the worst. Through the difficult and the easy. Come what may I will always be there. As I have given you my hand to hold, so I give you my life to keep forever by your side." he finished, his eyes shining with emotion. I was sure I probably had a few tear trails on my cheeks. It was my turn now.

"I, Elisabeth Grace Hale take you Warren Cullen, to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow, and forever. I will trust you and honor you. I will laugh with you and cry with you. I will love you faithfully. Through the best and the worst. Through the difficult and the easy. Come what may I will always be there. As I have given you my hand to hold, so I give you my life to keep forever by your side." I finished, proud I'd remembered it all.

"Rings please." the preacher asked, and Jasper gave them to him, so he could bless them. His voice was quiet, yet it carried.

"The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. It is a seal of the vows Warren and Elisabeth have made to one another. O Mighty God bless these rings, that Elisabeth and Warren, who give them, and who wear them, may ever abide in thy peace. Living together in unity, love and happiness for the rest of their lives. Amen." he finished crossing himself while everyone in attendance also said Amen. The next part Warren spoke as the preacher directed.

"Elisabeth, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, With this ring, I thee wed." with that the preacher indicated for Warren to put the ring on my finger. As soon as he was done the preacher turned to me.

"Warren, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, With this ring, I thee wed." I repeated after him as Warren had. And at the preacher's nod, slipped the ring onto Warren's finger. The preacher spoke again.

"In as much as you have each pledged to the other your lifelong commitment, love and devotion, I now pronounce you husband and wife, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Warren, you may kiss your bride." Our lips met softly for a few seconds.

"I Love you." he whispered against my lips.

"I love you too." I replied, with one last peck as we turned to the assembled guests, and headed arm in arm down the aisle.
