Wedding Bells

He asked me to marry him.

And I backpedaled.

I suppose most of you are gaping at me right now in absolute horror, demanding to know when I got so scared of matrimony.

The answer is…I don't know.

Don't get me wrong; I love Edward. He's my whole world, for heaven's sake. You read about what happened to me when he left. You should be convinced that I love him by now.

But…marriage?

Why does it sound so scary? Maybe somebody could answer that question for me. Anyone? Well, some of you probably haven't had any experience in the matter, but still…

I do want to marry Edward. I do. Just not yet.

So I put it off.

But don't worry. I'm not going to make a habit of that. There's going to come a day when I'm going to walk down the aisle on my dad's arm, and we're going to say our vows, and he's going to put a ring on my finger, and-

For the record, I don't even care what the ring looks like. It could be plastic, honestly. If it comes from Edward, it's enough.

-And then he'll kiss me and we'll be married.

My knees get weak thinking about it, just so you know.

I hear wedding bells…
