Chapter 1

BPOV:

Edward was happy that I was going to finally except the wedding. I was a little excited myself, after it had all sunk in. I had the urge to ask Alice what she was planning. Edward and I left and after we got the Volvo we went to Charlie's house.

"He's watching a game. He's really calm, Bella." I realized he was trying to calm me down. He carried me wedding-style up the steps. When he set me down, we entered the house.

"Hey, Bells!" wrapping me up in a hug. "Edward." He nodded.

"Um, Ch-Dad?" I asked.

"What's on your mind?" he asked, looking at my face.

"I- I mean Edward and I would like to tell you something."

"What is it?" I looked at the floor. Edward put his hand on my back in support. I built up some courage and started.

He looked nervous. "Edward and I are engaged to be married."

"You're pregnant!" He yelled, looking shocked.

"No! Dad, I'm leaving for college, and we thought it would be a good idea to not have to wait."

"Out!" he roared. "YOU! OUT! NOW! YOU PUT HER UP TO THIS AND IT'S YOU'RE FAULT! OUT!" He was off the couch now. He was in Edward's face. I was angry.

"Dad! Listen to me! I am marrying Edward and we will do with, or without your approval. I want you to be there, to walk me down the aisle."

"I am not opposed to you getting married. I am opposed to you marrying him." I was shocked. I grabbed Edward's hand and pulled him to the door. I was stopped as Charlie's hand shot out and grabbed my shoulder. "Bella, I -" I shrugged his hand off and opened the door.

"Call Edward's house when you are ready to be reasonable." and I slammed the door. Edward and I went to the car and my ridiculous tear ducts started up again. Once in the car I turned to Edward.

"Give me your phone." he looked puzzled. "I need to tell Renee."

"Are you sure you want to do this now?"

"Better me, than Charlie."

He nodded and handed me the phone. The talk with Renee went sizeably better. No yelling, screaming, and only one fainting spell. After that, she asked a lot of questions about the plans I knew nothing about.


"That went great." I said excited. "I have to talk with Alice." I said her name but she was already at my side in Edward's room. I felt thrilled about the wedding now.

"Change of heart?" she asked.

"Yes."

"Good, Let me tell you what I have planned so far. I was going to have Edward in a top hat but that wouldn't work, we need to see his hair. Also my vision of a perfect wedding might be a bit extreme..."

"Lay it on me." I said nervously.

"So after the 'I do's' and the kissing, You guys will run out dodging rice and laughing, into the carriage." she paused, "Too much?"

"No, actually, It's kind of nice." Edward probably was most surprised by my response. Alice's face brightened.

"What exactly are your standards?" she asked hopefully. I was about to answer when the door bell rang three, quick, impatient times. When we reached the door seventeen rings later, It was a very frightened looking, Angela Weber.
