Chapter One: The Wedding
"Will you hold still Bella!" Alice snapped for what had to be the millionth time this morning.
"I'm sorry! Can't I just call him?! It's technically not bad luck cause he wont see me!" I pleaded.
"No! Now shush up and sit still while I finish you hair!" She said poking me in the head with another pin.
I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror, this was really happening. I actually wanted to pinch myself to make sure this wasn't a dream, that I was really marrying the man of my dreams. I was definitely getting anxious because the wedding was only hours away, it was going to be held in the backyard. Alice, Rosalie and I sat down one day and thought of a perfect idea we wanted to have the wedding at Edward and I's meadow. We soon realized that would be impossible due to the fact that I wouldn't be able get there without dirtying or ripping my dress. My phone started to vibrate, I jumped for it but of course the pixie vampire got there first.
"Edward! Between you and Bella this is getting really old! You will see each other in a couple of hours!" Alice snapped into the phone.
"It's Edward?! Can I please talk to him?" I asked.
She glared at me before leaving the room, I was so going to kill her later. One thing was sure I was going to have a major head ache by the end of tonight, I had lost count at twenty of how many pins she had dug into my scull. I looked in the mirror, it looked as though she was almost finished, my hair was pinned up and curly in the back. The first thing she did was curl my hair while Rose did my make up, I looked amazing. Rosalie walked in the room smiling, she took over for Alice seeing as she was busy scolding my soon to be husband for calling me.
"Almost done Bella. Breathe." Rose said.
"I'm sick of breathing! I want it to be here already, I want to see Edward." I said looking at my hands.
"Hey, there are only three hours left. I just talked to Emmett, the guys are almost ready." She told me.
"What else do we have to do?" I asked looking at her through the mirror.
"Well, we have to get you in your dress, and then after we will get dressed." She told me.
"I'm glad you and Alice agreed to be my brides maids."
"I'm glad you let me be a brides maid. I wasn't real nice to you when you first started to date Edward."
"Now Rose, we agreed to leave that in the past."
"But I still feel bad."
I just rolled my eyes as Alice walked in, she shoved my phone in her purse before turning around.
"I am keeping your phone hostage until the wedding is over." She told me.
"I love you Alice." I said laughing.
"Done!" Rosalie said smiling.
"EEEEE!!!!" Alice exploded, "This is really happening!"
I rolled my eyes at her sudden outburst.
"Now, carefully stand up and lets get you in your dress." Alice said.
I walked into the other room with Alice and Rose following me, I stripped out of the towel I was in and stood there in my strapless bra and underwear. I had no more problems being in my bra and underwear in front of Alice and Rosalie, especially Alice seeing as I am Alice's personal Barbie doll. Alice took the black dress bag out of the closet, she laid it on the bed before slowly unzipping it, Rose walked over to the bed and helped her take it out. My wedding dress was white, it was a strapless dress that fell to the floor, it was plain white with beading on the bottom of it. It was simple, and that's what I wanted. Alice accepted my choice to be simple, it wasn't real out there like some of the dresses she had picked out, but it was still beautiful.
Alice and Rose held the dress to the ground as I stepped in, they carefully lifted the dress up. I held my arms up so they could zip it up in the back and fix it where ever they needed to fix it. They stood back so I could look in the full length mirror, this dress was surely going to take Edward's breath away, it sure took mine away.
"Wow." Alice breathed.
"Oh Bella, look at you." Rosalie said.
Tears started to come to my eyes.
"Oh no, Bella. Not until after the wedding!" Alice said when she saw my eyes water.
"Alice, I wont be able to not cry when I'm at the alter with Edward." I told her.
"Well, I guess if you have to cry then you can." She told me.
"Gee, thanks."
The next three hours passed by faster then I thought they would, we used the time to finished getting dressed, they touched up my make up because I started crying, and I helped them do their hair. Carlisle and Charlie walked in just as I was slipping my heels on.
"Wow." Charlie said.
"Hi daddy." I said standing up and almost falling over, this was going to be interesting.
"Bells, you look amazing. I wish your mother could've came down to see this." He said walking over to me.
"Yeah, but I understand, Phil is just getting going in his career, it's a big time for him." I said.
"I would hug you, but I would probably mess something up." He said.
"Yeah, give Alice one less thing to freak out about."
I laughed as she shot me a dirty look.
"Well, you girls look lovely." Carlisle said giving each of us kisses on the cheek.
"You guys look handsome." I said.
"Thanks. Are you ready to go Bella?" Carlisle asked.
My stomach started doing turns right then and there, it was time. I was going to be Mrs. Isabella Cullen in a matter of minutes. I took a deep breath and nodded slowly, Charlie held out his arm for me.
"Oh wow, this is it isn't it?" I asked.
"Yeah. Are you sure your ready? I'm sure he'll understand if you want to wait another year or two." Charlie suggested.
"Dad! I'm ready."
"You guys are only 19."
"Dad..."
"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry!"
"Okay," I said before taking a break, "I'm ready."
"Good, Edward's probably thinking you ditched on him." Carlisle said laughing.
I laughed before taking Charlie's arm, Alice handed me my bouquet and we started to walk. I was so nervous about tripping and falling from my heels, all l wanted right know was to down the isle without falling. We waited patiently for Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett to walk down the isle before Charlie looked at me. The traditional wedding song came on telling me it was my time to go, butterflies filled my stomach as we started to walk. I looked down the isle trying to see Edward, but someone was in my way. I turned my focus on walking, I glanced over to Charlie and swore that he looked like he was going to cry. Charlie was never the emotional one, he hated telling or showing any form of emotion, except for anger. He showed that real good, especially when it came to Edward, but he was learning to accept him which made me happy. I finally saw Edward as he flashed me my favorite crooked smile, he still managed to take my breath away. I smiled as tears filled my eyes, so much for my promise to Alice about not crying until either the alter or after the wedding. After what seemed to be forever we were at the alter, Charlie took a deep breath and held on to me for a few seconds before handing me over to Edward. I kissed Charlie's cheek before going to stand in front of the love of my life, he grabbed both my hands looking in my eyes. My heart almost melted when he mouthed 'I Love You' to me, I smiled and mouthed it back, I had a hard time paying attention with Edward standing there. I wanted to get lost in his green eyes but I knew that I had to stay focused on the wedding, we had chosen traditional vows which I was glad because I was horrible at making up my own. I glanced at the front row of seats, Esme, Carlisle and Charlie sat there smiling, Esme was of course crying but not as much as I was. I smiled back at her before turning my attention back to her son, I listened as the priest said the traditional vows to Edward.
"I do." He said smiling, I don't think he could stop smiling, I could tell he was truly happy.
"Bella..." The priest said turning to me.
I listened to him smiling and crying at the same time.
"I do." I said my voice cracking.
"I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss your bride Edward." He said smiling.
Edward grabbed my waist and pulled me over to him, he kissed me straight on the lips. The whole world seemed to disappear, I forgot where we were, why we were here, and that there were a ton of people watching us. I stood on my tippy toes and wrapped my arms around his neck as we kissed, he pulled away all too soon for me, he smiled down at me laying a soft kiss on the nose. I smiled as we turned around to face everyone, the sound of clapping and cheering filled my ears as we started back down the isle. Both Edward and I gave our parents quick kisses on the cheeks and hugs before we walked down the rest of the isle receiving congratulations from people, half of which I have never seen in my life.
At the reception:
"And now, welcoming the two newly weds! Please put your hands together for Edward and Bella Cullen!" The DJ announced over the microphone for the whole room full of hundreds of people to hear.
"I am going to kill Alice." I snapped under my breath.
"Relax love, you can kill her after the reception." Edward said patting my arm.
I rolled my eyes at him before we entered the room, I smiled as we were applauded for, the next half and hour was filled with congratulations, hugs and strange people kissing me on the cheek. I excused myself from a conversation about having children with Edward and some people I didn't know, I walked over to the punch bowl and grabbed a cup, I poured some into it managing not to spill any on my dress.
"Good punch?" Someone asked me.
I turned around to see a guy about Edward's age.
"Yeah, thanks." I said smiling as I took a sip.
"You know, Edward's quite the lucky man." He told me.
"He is, is he?" I asked looking over to my husband who was still talking to the people.
"Yeah. You are a very beautiful woman." He said.
"Um, thanks."
"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Evan, Evan Johnson." He said holding out his hand.
"Bella, Bella Sw- Cullen." I said, I would have to get used to that.
"I know. Obviously." He said.
We both laughed a little, this was getting very awkward, I have never seen this guy before in my life. I was starting to get a bit uncomfortable, this was one of the times I wished Edward would come save me. I smiled and walked away slowly to throw away my cup hoping that he would take the hint, but he didn't and followed me. I turned around to find him right next to me, I backed up a little bit but hit a pole, he put his hand by my head on the pole and smiled at me.
"Um, I need to go ask my husband something." I said.
"You can always ask me, I'm a good advice giver." Evan said leaning towards me more.
"No, you see its something to do with something private... I really should go speak with him about it."
"Oh well I just thought-"
"Is there a problem over here?" My angel asked.
It was about time!
Evan turned around slowly, "No. No problems."
"Well, I kind of got the feeling there was, seeing as you have my wife trapped against a pole." Edward said.
I looked at Edward terrified, this guy was creeping me out.
"Now if you don't mind, I would like to have some time with my wife." Edward said glaring at Evan.
"Of course. I'm sorry, I'll talk to you later Bella." Evan told me before leaving.
I was immediately pulled into Edwards arms, I hugged him close to me laying my head on his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little freaked out. Who was that guy?" I asked.
"I don't know. Are you sure your fine?" He asked again.
"Yes Edward." I told him pulling away from the hug.
"Hey." He said taking my face in his hands.
He leaned down and kissed me on the lips, I closed my eyes he was doing his magic, he had a way to get me to forget about things. I gasped for air as I pulled away, I smiled.
"Thanks." I said.
"We better get back to the party before Alice thinks we ran off." Edward said taking my hand.
He offered me his hand and I gladly took it, he walked me over to the dance floor. The butterflies soon returned when I realized what time it was, it was time for our first dance. Edward sensed my fear and rubbed calming circles on the back of my hand, I looked up at him and he nodded.
"Ladies and Gentleman! Gather around because it is now time for the happy new couple to share their first dance together as husband and wife!" The DJ announced.
"I am so going to hurt her!" I mumbled as Edward led me to the middle of the floor
Edward chucked as he set his hands on my waist as I brought my arms around his neck, the music started to play softly. I remember the first time I heard the song, it was right after Christmas dinner, Edward stood up and sang this song to me. The song was called Then sung by Brad Paisley, it shocked me how much it reminded me of us. I smiled and looked up at Edward and smiled, he softly sung the song to where only me could hear. I couldn't stop smiling, tears had been falling down my cheeks but I hadn't noticed until Edward wiped them away with his thumb. The song slowly faded, Edward gently laid a kiss on my lips as everyone clapped, I was attacked out of no where by an excited Alice.
"You guys look so cute together!" She said bouncing.
"She catches on fast." Emmett said his loud laughing filling the room.
I laughed as Alice slapped Emmett in the back of the head.
"Bella." Carlisle said coming over and hugging me. "Congratulations."
"Thanks." I said smiling hugging me back.
"Bella! I am so happy for you!" Esme said hugging me after Carlisle let me go.
"Thanks Esme." I said.
"Please, it's mom now." She told me.
I laughed.
It was now time to eat, all the orders have been taken in advance when people sent in their yeses to coming. Loud clanging filled the room as people hit their glasses with their forks or spoons, in weddings when people were to hit there glass with a fork or spoon the newly weds would have to kiss. I laughed as Edward leaned over to kiss me, I gave him a quick kiss on the lips smiling. The food finally got here, I grabbed my fork and popped a piece of my salad into my mouth, I wasn't even half way through chewing when people started tapping their glasses with their forks. I rolled my eyes and tried to finish chewing quickly but Edward kissed me anyway. I could tell this glass thing was going to become real fun, I went back to quietly eating while Edward and Emmett got into a serious discussion about foot ball.
"Okay! Who's ready to dance?!" The DJ asked after everyone was done eating.
I swear I have never danced so much in my life! I 'm not a good dancer to begin with but I danced with almost everyone, well the guys of course. But I did dance with Alice and Rosalie when a fun song had came on, I ended up taking of my heels after a while.
A Couple Hours Later
"Don't forget to call!" Alice yelled at the limo as it drove away.
I rolled my eyes before laying against Edward's chest, he smiled tangling our fingers together. I was tired, and I think Edward thought that he could get off easy because of that.
"Bella. We can always do that another night." He said for the millionth time.
"No! Edward, it's our wedding night! We are going to do it!" I snapped.
"Okay! Okay, fine. If that's what you want." He said.
"Yes, it is."
It was a long drive to where our hotel was, I decided that I would take a little nap. It felt like I had just closed my eyes when I felt someone nudging me, I moaned and pushed them away.
"Bella. We're here." Edward whispered.
"What? How long was I out?" I asked.
"Two hours." He answered.
"Wow." I said before slowly sitting up.
I grabbed my heels off the floor before Edward helped me out of the limo, one of the hotel employee came out and helped the driver with our bags. I was surprised at hour dark it was, I asked for the time and Edward said it was about eleven at night. That must have been one long reception, it went until nine? Wow. We followed the employee with Edward hanging on to my waist cause I was half asleep, he showed us our room, it was huge! There was big windows across the opposite wall where you could see out to the ocean, I gasped when I saw rose petals everywhere. I looked up at Edward shocked, he was smiling, I saw that there was a path so I followed. The guy set our bags to the side and left to give us some privacy, I followed the path that led to the bed which was covered in rose petals. I turned around to face my wonderful husband, I walked over to him throwing my arms around his neck. He hugged me back tightly wrapping his arms around my waist. I stood on my tip toes and kissed him on the lips, he tightened his grip on my waist and kissed me back. I decided to take things up a notch after about ten minutes of just making out, I deepened the kiss, I felt his hand slide up my back and to the zipper on the back of the dress. I smiled through the kiss as he slowly unzipped me, I helped him take it off by wiggling out of it. He stopped kissing me to lay it on the back of a chair, I gasped in protest, he came back and just stood there looking at me. I felt my cheeks turn a deep shade of red as I tried to cover myself.
"No. Your beautiful." He said grabbing my arms.
He continued to kiss me, his hand went to caress my cheek but hit my head, I gasped in pain as one of the pins shoved farther into my scalp. I had just realized that I had a splitting head ache.
"What?! Did I hurt you? We should stop." Edward said doing his normal thing and jumping to conclusions.
"No. It's just you pushed a pin in my head." I told him.
"Oh. Here." He said.
He had me sit on a chair as he slowly took the pins out, I could feel the tightness in my head release every pin he removed. The final pin count was in the fifties, how could all those pins be in my hair?! I sighed in relief when they were all out and my hair was down, it was still pretty curly. I stood up and remembered that I was in my bra and underwear. Edward smiled coming up and kissing me, see I knew he would want to have sex. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him deeply, one thing led to another, this night was going to be perfect...
Okay. Let your imagination go from there! Okay, this is going to be my new story! For those who have read "Pain and Happiness" and "New Life" I am sorry. But I have just lost interest in it, I ran out of ideas and didn't really know where to stop it. I'm going to try better with this story though and maybe in the future I'll restart the other stories and maybe make them better. But that is a HUGE maybe. Okay, now that that is said... In this story the Cullens are human. I know its technically not "Twilight" Without Vampires but I just want to try something else! I'm sure it has been done before though! I'm thinking about only updating once or twice a week! Just to make people mad xD I might update more if I feel like being nice! Well, review please?
