My heart started to race wildly. I thought that at any moment it would burst out of my chest, revealing how small and weak it had become. I waited for the pain to ease, for my heart to return to its usual beating pace, but it never did. It just carried on throbbing inside of me. Every time I gasped for air between my horrific sobbing it felt as if it grew and grew, until there was no room left for it and then it finally stopped.
As I walked down the isle everything stopped, as if somebody had let the air out of my overgrowing heart. Every ounce of my pain just seemed to drift away. After everything that had happened with the newborns and Victoria and my friend, my best friend Jake leaving on account of what I did, it felt so strange to just suddenly feel nothing.
I looked up at him, his beautifully carved face, his glowing pail skin, his shimmering bronze hair and his enchanting gold eyes as they stared back at me. All of his unbelievable features packaged in a black tux that somehow made him look even more perfect than he usually did. He smiled my favourite smile and I gave my best attempt to mimic it, but as usual I failed and the best I could come out with was a sort of half smile that turned up in all the wrong places. I didn't feel the usual sensation I felt when he shone me one of his dazzling smiles.
Once I was at the top of the isle I took a deep breathe before turning to face Edward for him to lift my Vail and reveal my expressionless face. I waited for a couple of seconds before opening my eyes to find that Edward had already lifted my Vail in such a quick swift movement that I didn't even know he had done it. He had such a bewildered look upon his face. I stared back until are gazes were interrupted by Carlisle asking us if we should proceed.
The ceremony continued with verses from the bible and songs of praise, then it came to the terrifying point, where two simple words could change your life forever.
"Edward Maison Cullen, Do you take, Isabella Marie Swan to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Carlisle asked with a smile spread across the width of his face.
Edward turned to me as if he was waiting for something so I smiled reassuringly.
"I do" Edward answered with his velvet voice.
"And you Isabella Swan, do you take, Edward Maison Cullen to be your lawfully wedded husband, through sickness and health, till death d us part?" Carlisle asked.
I laughed to myself as I realised that death wouldn't be a problem once we were married.
I turned to Edward and squeaked out the words "I do"
"You may now kiss the bride" Carlisle said almost chocking on the word bride.
Then I felt it, I could actually feel something. As his lips moulded into mine and were not in a hurry to part from them. I felt I'd forever be loved.
