vampires!)
Chapter 1- The Wedding
I couldn't believe I was
doing this. Why did time have to speed up when
your dreading
something? Wasn't it just yesterday when I was telling
Charlie
about the wedding in the first place? And yet, all of the sudden,
here I was, standing in front of a mirror in Alice Cullen's room,
in a long,
beautiful, slightly old fashioned wedding dress. Just
minutes away from
being wed to the love of my existence. My name,
was about to be changed to
Isabella Cullen.
I gasped and
stumbled, falling into two small, strong, granite cold arms.
That
last thought caught me off guard.
Alice laughed at the expression
on my face as she set me into a chair
standing next to the
mirror.
"I've heard of getting cold feet," she said,
still laughing, "but this is
ridiculous, Bella."
"I
can't do this Alice." I whimpered as I struggled to get control
of my
breathing again. My heart thumped unsteadily against my
chest as I thought
again about what I was about to do.
"Don't
be silly, Bella." Alice comforted me, her bell-like voice
soothing
me almost immediately. "It will all be over before
you know it, all you
have to do is walk down the isle with
Charlie, and then repeat after
Emmett."
I smiled a little
remembering how excited Emmett had been when we told him
that he
needed to get a clerical license. At least having Emmett marry me
wouldn't make it feel very official.
I looked up at Alice. She
looked stunning in her bridesmaid's dress. The
dress was
strapless, black and white floral. It had a small, black lace
trim
at the bottom. All together it had a beautiful, slightly old
fashioned
look about it, that went along well with the theme of
the wedding.
Alice smiled kindly back before I looked down at the
floor, mentally
preparing myself for what I was about to
do.
Though I hadn't heard her move, I realized that Alice was
suddenly beside
me. She gently placed her cold hand on my cheek
and led my gaze to meet
hers. She smiled warmly at me before she
spoke.
"Bella, please try to enjoy today, you can do this."
Her lovely voice was
full of affection and encouragement. "I
need to go take my place outside,
you stay here and wait for
Charlie."
I nodded slightly, unable to speak, and then she
was gone. She was right. I
could do this. I just didn't want
to.
I sat there for a moment, preparing myself before I heard
Charlie's
footsteps echoing through the Cullens' enormous
mansion.
I took a deep, steadying breath and nodded to myself. I
would do this, for
Edward.
I stood up, walked out of Alice's
room and to the top of the stairs.
Charlie, who looked 20 years
younger in a new tuxedo he'd gotten for the
occasion, was waiting
for me at the bottom. He gazed at me in ah for a
moment before
shaking his head to clear it.
I walked down the stairs carefully
to greet him. He smiled, taking even
more years from his now
young-looking face, and hugged me.
"You look beautiful."
He whispered in my ear, his voice wavering from
emotion.
Charlie
had not been happy at all about the wedding when I first announce
my
engagement to Edward. In fact, we had gotten into a huge argument
about
it. I was happy to see that he seemed to have gotten over
that today.
Although, what kind of father could be angry on his
daughter's wedding day?
"Thanks." I whispered back
before he released me and held up his arm.
I took it and he
carefully led me to the Cullens' backyard, where I was to
be
married.
When we got there I looked around. Alice had definitely
enjoyed herself
when decorating the backyard for the occasion.
There were white flower
petals sprinkling the ground, hundreds of
vases of white roses, and, since
it was going to be a sunny day,
she had 'adjusted' the trees around the
yard, creating a
beautiful, natural looking, canopy over the yard.
I looked at the
people who were there. Renee was smiling blissfully at me
from
the back of the grand piano she was playing. She hadn't been very
happy about me getting married at such a young age either, but
somehow it
seemed she knew that Edward and I would be together
for much longer then she
and Charlie had. So she accepted the
invitation gracefully and even became
excited when I told her
that she would be playing the piano for me as I
walked down the
isle. She too, looked that much younger in a bridesmaid's
dress,
identical to the one that Alice wore, with Phil sitting beside her on
the piano bench, watching her lovingly as she played.
I looked
around to see more people there. Emmett was standing behind the
alter, also in a tux. Jasper was standing near him. Esme was in a
beautiful,
full length, light blue dress, sitting next to
Carlisle, lining the isle. I
saw Alice and Rosalie standing next
to the piano as well. Rosalie had been
shocked when I had asked
her to be a bridesmaid as well, but she accepted
happily. Many of
the kids from school were there too. I saw Angela, in her
pale
pink dress she had gotten the year before, sitting next to Ben
smiling
happily and waving at me.
I saved the best person for
last. Edward was standing next to Jasper. His
skin looking even
paler against the dark fabric of the tuxedo. His golden
eyes,
wide with ah, watched me as I approached him with Charlie. His bronze
hair was waving gently with the slight breeze that was blowing
today. He
the happiest expression ever on his face. I was sure
that it wasn't
possible for anyone to look happier then he did at
this moment. I smiled at
him and he, if it was possible, smiled
even wider in return.
Charlie led me right up next to Edward, then
he went and took his seat in
the front row of the audience.
Emmett began to talk and Edward bent down
next to my ear and
whispered.
"You look absolutely amazing."
"Thank
you," I whispered back unable to hide my flush of pleasure. "So
do
you."
He put his arm around my waist as we listened to
Emmett's speech. When we
got to the vows, we both repeated them.
Then, coming to a close, Emmett
said,
"Well then, do you,
Edward, take Bella to be your wife?"
"I do." Edward
said, smiling even wider, if that was possible.
"Do you,
Bella, take Edward to be you husband?" I took a deep breath.
"I
do." I said as clearly as I could manage.
"Then, Edward,
you may kiss the bride."
And suddenly I was being lifted into
the air as Edward's lips crushed mine
softly. It wasn't like any
other kiss we'd shared together. I locked my
arms around his neck
and tangled my hands in his hair. He held me closer to
his chest.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, Edward set me back down
on
my feet and hugged me. I faintly realized that everyone had
surrounded
us, Cheering and crying. But that didn't matter now,
all that mattered was
that I was officially Isabella Marie
Cullen. And I was surprised to find
that couldn't have been
happier about it.
