It was a beautiful wedding. Edward had known that Alice was going all out for Bella's last major "human" event, but he had never thought that it would come to this. He just stood and stared at the decorations filling the small but beautiful church. It struck him for the first time that he was getting married. Sure, Rosalie and Emmett and Alice and Jasper had had their share of weddings. Hell, even Carlisle and Esme had renewed their vows a few times over the years. But it had never been him, never thought it would be him. Just looking at the church the morning of the ceremony made a strange sense of completeness fill him like never before in his near century on Earth.

'Yes,' Edward thought. 'This will be the start of our future together.'

While Edward was contemplating their future, Bella was having a major panic attack. Always fretting that something would go wrong, she stalked around the room she was supposed to be getting dressed for her wedding in. Her wedding. Just the thought of those two words made her cringe. But it was important to Edward.

'The things one does for love', she mused silently. 'Surely this should be counted as a form of torture.'

"Bella, would you just stay still for a minute! Your hair will never be done at this rate!" cried Alice, brandishing hairspray in one hand and a curling iron in the other."Oh Alice, do you really think Edward will care what I wear?" Bella replied but still obediently sat in the chair indicated.

"Of course not. You could come dressed in mud with tree sap in your hair and he wouldn't care, as long as you were there, but Edward isn't the only person out there. Or must I remind you of the near 200 guests that will be arriving in…" Alice paused looking at the watch resting on her dainty wrist, "Less than an hour."

"200! There are two hundred people coming to my wedding?!" Bella squeaked.

Amused, Alice just looked down at Bella's shocked face. "Well, of course. You and Edward were unbearably popular." Seeing Bella begin to rise with a look of panic, Alice took things into her own hands and physically restrained Bella.

"Alice, I can't go out there! They all probably think we're getting married because Edward knocked me up or that we're completely foolish and that this will never last." Alice tried to cut in on Bella's tirade but Bella continued unhearing. "They'll all be staring at me. We all know that there is no way I can walk down that aisle without tripping and falling. Even more likely while wearing these monstrous shoes. Is it really too late to elope?"

"Bella, you wouldn't deprive me of seeing you get married, would you?" Alice asked in a hurt voice that made Bella's heat just ache. "Besides, I know what will happen. Everything will be fine."

"If you say so. I'll just be happy when all of this is over with." Bella said. Adding to herself, she thought, 'This will be the start of our future together.'
