Here it is!!!
Today was my wedding day. It was the
day that I'd been waiting for, for years. Edward and I had been
engaged for two years now and I couldn't wait to be his wife. I
opened my eyes to the crisp Sunday morning and my stomach fluttered.
"Bella?" I heard and I opened my eyes to see Alice and…
Emmett?
"Yes?" I whispered groggily and Emmett chuckled.
"Come
on Ankle Rapist, time to get up" he chuckled as he flung me out of
bed. I sighed.
"Emmett, seriously we came up with ankle rape in
junior year, you think you'd be sick of it by now" I smiled but
he just gave me a look that told me otherwise.
"How can I be
sick of it Bells, I'm allowed to where ankle socks now" he
said and I chuckled quietly. Everyone else had gotten into the habit
of Bella too because of Edward.
"Good point Emmett" I smiled
and flung myself out of bed. I got a head rush and swayed into
Emmett's chest.
"Easy Bella, we wouldn't want you fainting
on your wedding day" Alice chided and just those words sent chills
down my spine. My cheeks heated up and Emmett laughed.
"Just the
mention of your wedding makes you think of your honeymoon ay Bella?"
Emmett winked and I blushed even darker. Edward and I hadn't given
ourselves to each other yet. We were saving that for tonight. My
heart beat sped up as I thought about this because I was so
nervous.
"Shut up Emmett, you're making her blush" Alice
scowled and smacked him on the arm.
"I'm just saying. Plus,
Edward been giddy all morning" he said and shrugged and I stared at
him.
"What time is it?" I said breathlessly and he looked
behind him.
"Nearly 11" he said nonchalantly and my eyes
widened.
"ALICE WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP BEFORE NOW! I ONLY
HAVE 4 HOURS UNTIL THE CEREMONY" I screeched and she giggled a
stream of musical notes.
"I will have you ready in plenty of
time Bella" she smiled and I instantly relaxed.
"Emmett, go
and help my brother. He's been freaking out for the past week"
she instructed and Emmett gave her the soldier salute before leaving
the room. And then I heard his jeep driving off. I turned back to
Alice and she had tears gleaming her crystal blue eyes.
"I'm
so happy for you" she whispered and embraced me in a tight hug.
Alice spent the next three hours
getting me ready and finally I slipped my dress on. It was an elegant
cream bodice with beaded embroidery and a corseted back. The skirt
flowed easily down to the ground and trailed behind me. Even on the
shelf; the dress took my breath away. I looked in the mirror and my
breath caught. The girl in the mirror couldn't possibly be me. She
was just as elegant as the dress; only her eyes matched mine. She had
Smokey eyes and a shimmer of blush. Her mascara was slick and her
lips were glossy and plump. She had happy eyes that gleamed with
excitement and anticipation.
"Alice," I breathed and she
smiled, "Alice, I'm beautiful" I whispered and then I heard my
father's voice.
"Yes you do Isabella" Charlie whispered. He
hadn't gotten the gist of the whole 'Bella' thing. I turned on
my heel- which was dangerously high for me- and walked briskly over
to him.
"Daddy" I whispered as tears studded my tear
ducts.
"You look so beautiful. I'm sorry your mum isn't
here" he whispered. Renee hadn't wanted anything to do with me
after she found out I had psychiatric problems. I still had the
dreams and so did Edward; we just hoped our kids wouldn't have to
go through the constant torture of being mentally ill. Just the
thought of having children with Edward made my stomach
quiver.
"Bella, it's time to go" Alice whispered. I looked
over at the clock and it was 2:30. My eyes widened and I tried to leg
it out of the room but Charlie caught hold of my waist.
"Easy
Isabella, we wouldn't want you tripping just before your wedding"
he said sternly and I blushed.
"Sorry Dad" I whispered.
We made our way to the Cullen's
house. My breathing sped as we went up the driveway. Every tree was
strewn with fairy lights that were twinkling all though it was still
daylight,
"Alice" I marveled, "It's so beautiful" I
whispered and she giggled. For the first time today, I saw what she
was wearing. She'd picked out her dress and it was an elegant gold
colour strapless dress that went down to the floor with a brown sash
under the breasts.
"You look so gorgeous" I smiled and her
eyes danced with joy.
"So do you Bella" she whispered and I
heard Charlie talk.
"Sorry Dad?" I asked and he
turned to me and exhaled sharply.
"We're here" he whispered
and I looked up and saw the house that was the Cullens. I got out of
the car in a huge hurry and walked up the porch steps of the house.
Charlie came and got my arm whilst Alice stood in front of me. I
heard the bridal march start and my heart stuttered as the doors
opened.
"Follow ten seconds after me Bella" Alice whispered
and then started walking. I counted in my head. I was up to five when
Charlie talked to me.
"You ready Isabella?" he asked and I
turned to him.
"More than ever" I whispered and then, it was
time. I walked slowly; in time with Charlie. When I turned the
corner; I saw the smiling face of the most beautiful man in the
world. He mouthed the words 'you look beautiful' and I felt my
heart flutter.
When I eventually made it to the end, I took Edward's hands in mine. And then, my dream repeated itself; only this time; it was real.
"Edward,
I promise to love you forever. Every single day of forever. I will
hold you and care for you through good times and bad; through
sickness and in health, until death do us part. I take you as my
lawfully wedded husband; best friend; and soul mate" I whispered as
I slid the ring onto his finger. He looked as though he was about to
burst into tears. He took my ring from the cushion and read out the
vows that he's created and that I was yet to hear.
"Bella, my
love. Every day with you is like a new beginning to my life. Every
smile that breaks across your face brightens my day more than a
million suns could ever dream of. Your love is more than enough for
this man to live on and I know that forever, I will love you. Please
take this ring, as a token of my love for you and to show you, that
each day; each fleeting moment, it is you that I am thinking of.
Through sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, I take you as
my lawfully wedded wife, lover and heart" he whispered and I choked
on a sob. It was so beautiful. He smiled at me and I held him close.
The
reception was wonderful but I was eager to get on with my honeymoon.
I know it wasn't logical to get married at twenty one, but when you
were so in love you could barely stand it; oyu knew it was the right
thing. Edward excused himself from the table and I turned to Angela
and Alice who were my bride's maids.
"You look so beautiful
Bella" Alice whispered and Angela nodded. I told them both how
gorgeous they looked and everything suddenly went quiet.
"I'd
like to dedicate this to my beautiful wife" I heard a velvet voice
announce and I turned to looked at the stage where; sure enough;
Edward was standing at the microphone. He turned and nodded to the
guys behind him and then, an unfamiliar melody started to play.
"You
inspired this one beautiful" he whispered and I blushed. When he
started to sing, I melted away.
"When
I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And
now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold
and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me
I can be the one
I
will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you
forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even
if saving you sends me to heaven
It's
okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are
crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and
nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I
will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you
forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even
if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz
you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please
don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk
away and
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah
Use
me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know
I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I
will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be
there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to
heaven"
He
rushed down to me and I kissed him with all the passion I could
muster.
"I can't believe you actually wrote that" I
whispered.
"It came to me in a dream a few years ago" he
whispered and I smiled.
"I know; I had the same one" I smiled
and he kissed me again.
The
rest of the reception passed and I couldn't wait until later.
Edward and I were sitting alone now on the plane just gazing into
each other's eyes.
"I love you Mrs. Cullen" he whispered
and my heart soared.
"I love you too Mr. Cullen" and with
that, I leant forward and kissed him. Soon, I fell asleep in the arms
of my husband.
"Bella?"
I heard a velvet voice whisper and I smile.
"Edward?" I
mumbled and he chuckled.
"Yes love, we're here" he
whispered. What? We're here? As in at the terminal in France?
"At
the terminal?" I asked groggily and I opened my eyes to see a
luxury room around me.
"How did I get here?" I asked
breathlessly and he smiled again.
"I carried you beautiful girl"
he whispered and leant forward to kiss me. I blushed and returned the
kiss passionately.
"Are you ready or do you want to wait?"
Edward whispered once we finished kissing.
"I'm ready" I
said confidently and his eyes lit up just a fraction more. He was
positively beaming.
"I love you Bella" he whispered and then… It happened. I gasped as he discovered parts of me I never knew existed and the way he put so much love inside me. The way his skin felt on mine and the way I witnessed him cry from the amount of love involved in that tiny, pleasurable act.
Later,
we were encircled in each other's arms and he was playing absent
mindedly with my hair.
"I love you" I whispered as I put my
hand up and wrapped it around his.
"I love you too" he
whispered and that was when I fell asleep in the arms of my husband.
The end (:
Hope you liked it.
