A.N.: Ok, so this is a short one. Just my views of how I think the wedding will turn out. Basically, this was written in commemoration to Edward's 107th birthday. I hope I've managed to keep everyone in character. I think Jake might have slipped a bit too much (I really don't mean to piss the Jacob lovers off, but the fact of him probably being at least a bit out of character, probably has a lot to do with the fact that I try real hard not to pay too much attention to Jake. Sometimes, of course, it's not possible, but I really, truly dislike Jacob Black end of mini-rant), but I must say I'm quite pleased with how it came out.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, I own no one. The only thing I invented was the place of the honeymoon. All the rest belongs to the great Stephenie Meyer.

Warning: This fanfic has really no explicit scenes, but I don't recommend young kids to read it. There are a few… suggestive scenes. Nothing heavy, I assure you, but still, I thought I better warn you, so that no one says I've corrupted you. So, if you're younger than 12, I strongly recommend that you don't read this.

ENJOY!

You don't remember my name

I don't really care

Can we play the game your way?

Can I really lose control?

Chorus:

Just once in my life

I think it'd be nice

Just to lose control, just once

Like all the pretty flowers

In the dust

Mary had a lamb

His eyes black as coal

If we play very quiet, my lamb

Mary never has to know

Chorus

If I cut you down to a thing

I can use

I fear there'll be nothing good

Left of you

Ooooooooh

THE WEDDING

It was the day. The wedding day. I shuddered at the thought. Somehow, I still wasn't used to the idea of getting married. Edward and the word husband just didn't seem to fit together yet.

But I hardly knew the hazardous size my problems would soon assume.

Charlie was nervous. Maybe even worse than me. He kept fidgeting with his clothes, fixing his gown… but now he had already gone. It was just me, Renée, Esme, Rosalie and Alice at home. Somehow, it seemed much more crowded than it should have done. As I arrived downstairs, with Alice holding my 'tail' so it wouldn't drag, the phone rang. I saw Renée roll her eyes and mutter something about impatience. She walked over to the phone, thinking it was Charlie… again. Charlie had called about ten times already, complaining we were late

But what caught my eye was Alice's expression. She seemed upset about something. The reason became clear a few seconds later, when Renée handed me the phone.

I got the phone quickly, trying to hide my curiosity.

"Hello?"

"Bella!"

I recognized the voice and was shocked; "Seth? What's the matter? Aren't you at the wedding?"

"No. I'm on my way, Bella. And so is he."

"He?" I muttered, confused

"Jacob, Bella!" he replied, as if I were stupid

"Oh!" My voice went up two octaves. "But… but why, Seth?" I was confused; I'd thought Jake hated me… then, it hit me. I gasped "He's not… he's not going to try anything at the wedding, is he, Seth?"

"I don't know, Bella. All I know is he's heading to the wedding."

"Okay. Thanks, Seth," I mumbled. This couldn't be happening. I noticed with a pang of fear, that Alice couldn't see what Jacob was going to do… he was bound to take advantage of that fact. I silently cursed myself for telling him about that. "Listen, I've gotta call Edward now… see you later, Seth."

"Okay, Bella."

"Bye, Seth."

"Bye. See you soon."

"Yeah," my head was kilometers away. I tried to think clearly as I hung up and started dialing Edward's cell number. He could just want to see me getting married, I told myself over and over in my head. I hardly noticed the four ominous gazes of the women behind me, boring in to my back.

He answered at the first ring

"Bella?" he sounded worried. I wondered if Jake was close enough for him to read his thoughts already…

"Edward," I gasped urgently "Edward, Jacob is coming"

I heard Alice gasp behind me.

"What? How do you know, Bella?"

"Seth just called," I replied

He muttered something under his breath too low for me to hear "He has the right to come, you know, Bella," he said, loud enough for me to hear this time.

"But… but what if he…"

"If he tries anything, he will be detained, love," he assured me.

"Really?"

"Yes, there's no need to worry, Bella. Just come over quick, this wait is killing me."

I chuckled. "Okay, we're leaving the house now"

"Good. See you in a few minutes, then"

"Love you," I whispered

"I know," he laughed and hung up.

I turned to find Alice, Esme and Rosalie looking at me with worried expressions. Renée seemed out of herself.

"Did I hear properly, sweetie? Is Jacob really back?"

"Yes, mum," I mumbled

"Well, isn't that amazing?" she cooed

"Sure, sure…" I turned to the other three women and said lightly "Edward is getting a bit impatient…"

Esme and Alice exanged a look that didn't please me much. They were up to something.

"Let's get going, then," Rosalie got me by the arm and towed me toward the car.

Me and Rosalie had improved greatly in our relationship. She even seemed to actually like the idea of me getting married to Edward.

"What was that all about?" she hissed as she pulled me toward my black Mercedes.

"Jacob has decided to appear at the wedding."

"And that means…?"

"It doesn't mean anything. But I was scared he might try something… you know… something funny…"

She nodded. Even though I had been only whispering, barely audible to myself, I'd known she'd hear it. Alice and Esme heard me too. Only Renée, with her human ears didn't.

I peeked. I knew I shouldn't have, but I was really nervous. The church was full. It looked like every single person invited had appeared – which probably wasn't too far from the truth…

Then, that so-dreaded song started playing, and Charlie was walking me down the aisle, while Alice danced in front of us. Everyone was standing. I turned my gaze from the guests and looked forward. I regretted doing so nearly immediately, because right there, in front of a little wooden table, behind which, was the priest, was Edward. His extremely white skin stood out in contrast to the black tux he was wearing. His eyes, like liquid gold – very light gold today, – bored in to me, his face pulled up into my favorite crooked smile. I swayed a bit against Charlie as that sight sunk into to me. He looked too beautiful to be real.

When we arrived to where Edward was, Charlie untangled his arm from mine and lightly pushed me toward Edward, muttering something to him while he did so. Edward nodded seriously and took my hand. We turned to face the priest.

I had never noticed how long the priests talked in a wedding. My feet were starting to ache. Then, I heard a sudden noise coming from behind me, as the priest said "does anyone here object?"

I felt Edward stiffen next to me. I didn't want to turn, for I knew what I'd find. I rolled my eyes. How cliché…

Surely enough, as both me and Edward turned unwillingly, I heard a well-known voice shout

"I do! I object!"

Next to me, just a few feet to my right, Emmett tensed. Carlisle shot him a warning look.

Brilliant, I thought. Of course, only my wedding could run the risk of turning out into a huge fight between mythical creatures. I sighed sadly.

Edward looked at me when he heard me sigh. "I told you", I mouthed. He looked pained, but nodded and squeezed my hand as we both turned to look back at Jacob. He was staring right at me, not even glancing toward Edward.

"And you objection is based on…?" the priest asked Jake politely

"I love the bride," he said simply. A murmur rose from the watching crowd. All Forks was there. I could trust Jake to make me be humiliated publicly like this. I groaned in to Edward's chest. He wrapped his protective arm around me, stroking my hair lightly while he glared down at Jacob

"I'm sorry, son, but Miss Isabella…" 'Bella', I heard Edward murmur, his chest rumbling under my cheek "…has consented in marrying Mr. Cullen here. Unless Isabella wants to cancel this wedding…"

"No."I said, firmly, lifting my head from Edward's chest and looking straight at Jacob. "I'm not cancelling anything,"

Edward smiled smugly at that.

"Very well then…"

"But she loves me too!" Jake shouted

"Now, now, young man! I'm afraid..."

Jacob ignored the priest altogether. "Do you deny it, Bella? Do you deny the fact you love me?"

I scowled at him. This was black mail. It wasn't fair. Not at all fair. I groaned again. "I…" I hesitated, wondering what to say. The truth would take far too long to explain and it would raise way too many questions and even doubts... I settled for the lie, even though it'd hurt Jake madly. And me too. "… Yes. I deny it"

I could feel the Cullens' shocked gaze on me, but didn't turn to look at them. I was looking straight at Jacob. His face turned red, and then he became white as a ghost. I heard Edward snicker beside me.

"Can I continue the wedding, or does anyone else have an objection to make?" the priest inquired calmly.

When no one replied, he turned back to me and Edward. Jacob continued in the middle of the aisle, his lost gaze locked on my back, now turned to him.

I felt terrible, but I knew it was the only way. Later on today, I'd be saying goodbye to my life and embracing immortality, and if he didn't let go now, it would only make things worse for both of us. Maybe like this he'd let go, forget about me… move on. It was a long shot, but I had to risk it.

My thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Edward's lips. A few seconds later, I couldn't even remember what I was sad about… then, all too early, it was over. Next thing I knew, the floor disappeared from under my feet as Edward carried me out of the church. Outside the doors, it was another cloudy day in Forks. As soon as Edward stepped out of the church, with me in his arms, I heard shouts and screams, and people were throwing something white at us. It took me a minute to realize the white stuff was rice. I smiled broadly at Edward and he smiled back.

He carried me all the way to his 'special occasion car' and sat me down on the passenger seat, then he rounded the front of the car and we were speeding off, leaving the multitudes by the doors of the church.

"Was it so bad?" he asked, his voice heavy with mock fear

"No… I guess it could've been worse," I shrugged; a huge smile on my lips "but then, it wasn't like I was really paying attention to anything. How could I, with you standing next to me and looking so… hot… in this tux?"

He smirked. "I'm happy to know I wasn't the only one who wasn't paying attention to that blab of the priest."

"But still… that thing with Jacob was unnecessary…"

He looked strangely sheepish at my words. I gasped

"Do I want to know his thoughts?" I wondered aloud

"No. But I'll tell you, because he asked me to."

I huffed and he smiled at me.

"He was, quite roughly, thinking you looked beautiful in you dress. By the end of the wedding, he was fantasizing he was in my place. Then, he started dreaming about the honeymoon, and…"

"Stop!" I shrieked "Don't say one more word!"

His smile widened considerably, momentarily taking my breath away.

"Your wish, my command"

"Sure, sure. Where are we going, anyway? Aren't we supposed to be in a party?" I frowned. I hadn't been paying attention to where we were going, but when I looked out of the window, I was sure wherever we were, it wasn't Forks. That knowledge made my stomach lurch and my heart picked up a hideously quick pace. Hearing my heart, Edward smiled my crooked smile.

"Nope. The couple had to run, or they'd lose their plane," he chuckled "Or at least, that's what Alice and Esme are saying to our guests"

"So that's why the two of them seemed so smug before…"

He laughed loudly

"You haven't answered my first question yet, though."

Since he didn't answer, I pressed on further "Where are we going?"

"Surprise, love."

I groaned. "Still? How much longer will this be a surprise for?"

"Be patient, Bella. It won't be long. I promise"

Trust Edward to choose the most amazing place for our honeymoon. Even though my heart was pounding unevenly in my chest, I wasn't blind, although it was hard to peel my gaze off from Edward. It was sunny and his skin was sending rainbows in every direction

We were standing in heel-deep bright green grass. To the left of us, trees towered high and menacing, but still completely beautiful. To the right, a huge extension of grass, disappearing on the horizon. On the edge of the forest, and right in front of us, was the sea. Not dark blue, like in the movies. It was an extremely clear-colored greenish blue. Where the sea met the sand, there was a little cave, looking strangely out of place, placed right between the high trees and the huge blue sea. The inside of the cave was probably extremely cozy. The whole thing was breath-taking. I stayed rooted to the spot, staring in complete awe at the beautiful scenario in front of me. It was completely empty, only the two of us and that vast open space.

Next thing I knew, I was in Edward's arms, his cool skin pressing against mine, his beautiful white skin sending rainbows all around us. At that moment, any remnant thought of Jacob was completely erased from my mind. I could hardly remember who I was, where I was, or, even more importantly, why I was nervous. I knew that this might be the last thing I'd ever know. If Edward lost control, it was the end. But now, more than ever before, I couldn't care less what happened.

My heart thumped rapidly as he kissed me slowly, testing his control. He kissed my arms, my neck, my jaw, my entire head, then, finally, his mouth found mine. We were both excited, our breathing coming out ragged. As I slid his shirt off, I knew... At that second, I knew that, if I died now, there couldn't have been a better way to die; I wouldn't have wanted it any differently. I was with Edward. He was mine, and I was his. I was glad I'd insisted in this one specific human experience. This would be, with no doubt, the best day of my entire life.
