This takes place about 9 years after Breaking Dawn. Stephanie Meyers owns just about everything except for whatever comes off the top of my head. Lol.


Utter Bliss

Renesmee POV

"I, Jacob Ephraim Black, take you, Renesmee Carlie Cullen, to be my beloved wife. To have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy." I sniffle to help keep back the tears. My hands shake as he places the white gold, diamond-encrusted band onto my finger. I cannot believe this is happening. "In good times, and bad, and to love and cherish you always. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life."

The reverend nods and turns to me. "Renesmee, repeat after me." He speaks the words and I follow as in procession.

"I, Renesmee Carlie Cullen, take you, Jacob Ephraim Black, to be my beloved husband. To have and to hold, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy. In the good times, and the bad, to love and cherish you always. I promise you from my heart, for all the days of my life." His matching white gold band slips easily onto his finger. My left hand quickly reaches up and swipes away a stray tear. We have waited so long for this day, a day that has been anticipated all throughout Forks and La Push.

As soon as I speak the last word, my tears spill over. Jake reassuringly squeezes my hands and smiles from ear to ear. I read his lips as he whispers, "I love you." A smile spreads across my lips as I mouth, "Right back at ya."

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you Man and Wife. Jacob, you may now kiss your beautiful bride."

Joy lights up his face as Jake places his hands on either side of my tear stricken face and slowly kisses me with the utmost passion. We have kissed before, but this is nothing like our usually love fest smooches. Jacob has always told me that he loves me and I would follow with "How much?" Just by feeling his warm lips against mine, I can feel just how much he truly loves and cares for me.

Our family and friends cheer and clap as we pull away from each other. "Ladies and gentlemen," the reverend begins, "I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob and Renesmee Black." Jacob and I turn to face our patrons and lace our hands together just before walking down the steps to the main floor. I tug at the front of my satin ball gown to keep from falling as two of my bridesmaids—who are also my aunts: Alice and Rosalie—each work together to straighten out my train. I smile proudly to each of our guests as we make our way out. The aisle is lined with large bouquets of white hydrangeas and yellow lilies placed on ceramic podiums.

Once we are outside the mirror double doors of the sanctuary, Jacob engulfs me in a hug. His warmth comforts me and reminds me of one of the reasons why I love him so much. He brings his lips to my ear and speaks, "We did it Ness. We are now an 'us'." I can't help but laugh at his striking revelation.

"We've always been an 'us', Jake. Remember? I've been yours since the very beginning," I advise. It was the truth. By him imprinting on me as an infant, I have naturally been his. In the beginning, I didn't quite understand, but as I grew I was able to appreciate the idea of an imprint even more.

"Right, but now it's official. You have the ring to show it." He lifts my hands to his lips and kisses each one gently.

I smile and blush. He always knows just what to do to put a smile on my face. The light coming in through a nearby window catches my attention. The July sun is beginning to set; today just so happened to be one of the sunniest days of the summer. July 24, 2010.

Jake steps beside me and places his hand in mine as we marvel the view. This is the beginning, our beginning. It's the first chapter of our long life together. This is Jake and I against the world. With us being such different beings, there will be challenges, but we will take each day one step at a time.


I really hope you enjoyed the first chapter! This is my very first fanfic that I have written on here, so I was alil hesitant before posting it. I kno this chapter is really short and seemed, not so important, but I promise it will get better. Lol. If you would, please review and tell me what you think! I will post again, possibly Wednesday. It just depends on school and the type of feedback I get from this chapter!

P.S. - I love visuals, so pics of certain things will be posted. The story is also being reviewed and bumped on the Sick Lion Dumb Lamb forum. I have the link in my profile. I will usually let you kno what pics I have posted!

P.P.S - I am currently looking for a part-time beta. I do have one, but she is only willing to help out on certain parts [she is Team Edward]. So, if you are interested and have experience as beta or just an author, let me kno!
