Chapter 2:

The Cullen's massive foyer was where the reception was held. As we got to the doors Edward reached down and lifted me off my feet and said, "Welcome home," as he carried me through the door. What self-restraint I had was gone and I started blubbering like a mad woman.

"Bella, Bella, what's wrong my princess?" asked Edward.

"Nothing is wrong," I cried. "It's perfect."

"They're tears of happiness you goof," said Alice hitting Edward on the back as she walked in behind us with the rest of the wedding party. She handed me a tissue, "I had a feeling you would need this, there's some stuffed in the pockets of Edwards tux as well."

While the rest of the guests stayed out front enjoying the open bar, the wedding party was supposed to assemble inside and then go out back for photos. The next person in after Alice was Jasper, followed by Rosalie and Emmet, my mother and father and then Carisle and Esme. Angela was talking to her boyfriend Ben and would be in a second.

Edward put me down and I ran over to Alice. "Thank you, it's amazing, you were right."

"I know," she said. "And you're welcome."

Jasper was standing next to her and threw I myself into his arms, I felt him tense. Jasper still kept his distance from me after the incident at my birthday. "Jasper, I love you and I want you to promise you will never feel bad about what happened again, the story has a happy ending."

He smiled, "Bella, I have been to many weddings, but I have never felt anything like I am feeling from you right now. I wish it would never end."

As soon as he released me I felt my feet leave the ground and found myself caught in one of Emmett's bear hugs. "My little sister!" he yelled.

"Not for long if you don't put me down," I forced out with what little oxygen I still had. "Can't breathe!" He placed me on my feet and I gasped for a second. I looked up at Emmet who had a big goofy grin on his face.

"My big brother," I yelled and hugged him back. "And thank you for doing such an amazing job on the ceremony."

"I had you nervous didn't I?" he said very proud of himself.

I was a little scared for what was going to come next, I knew Rosalie was there, and she had been trying to be nicer, but of all the Cullen's she was the one I felt the least close to.

"Bella," she said looking down at me. I was awed by her beauty. "You are more beautiful than any bride ever, including me" She whispered that last part. "And I am so happy you are part of our family, I know I haven't always been the nicest, but I love you for you, and not just the joy you brought my brother."

"Thank you Rosalie, I love you too," and we hugged.

"Does a mother get a chance to hug her daughter on her wedding day?" said Renée dragging Charlie over.

"Mom," I said tears starting up again.

"Let me look at you again, Bells," said Charlie. "More beautiful than I could…" and he choked up.

"Bella, when you moved to Forks I never would have dreamed you would be this happy. Where is that gorgeous husband of yours?" she said looking around.

"Right here…" said Edward gliding over with the effortless ease that only he can muster. He put his arm around me and kissed the top of my head and I felt even better than I had before.

"Edward, Charlie and I have something to say to you." Renée said. "We have never seen our daughter so happy, and for that we thank you. And…" she looked at Charlie to prompt him. Together they said, "Welcome to the family son."

"Sorry Bells, it was your mothers idea." My father grumbled while Edward hugged my mother and than my dad.

"It's my pleasure," Edward said. "I think they are about to start the photos so lets head to the back before Alice starts yelling that we are messing up her schedule."

"Not so fast," said Esme. "We want our moment with the bride and groom first. Bella you are stunning. And Edward, you make my heart melt every day but today…"

Carlisle shook Edwards hand and said, "This is the proudest I have ever been of you my son." Then turned to me. "And Bella, I have considered you part of the family for a while now, but now it's official. I hope I am the first to say, welcome to the family Isabella Marie Cullen."

If Edward hadn't been standing there I would have collapsed on the floor. He caught me and pulled me up.

"I'm sorry, I didn't… it's real, it's really real." I muttered. "Bella Cullen… me…" I twisted my body enough so that Edward set me down, and when he did I jumped at Carlisle, "Thank you, Dad."

"It's a good thing you're a surgeon," Charlie said. "Save some money on Bella's hospital bills."

"Dad," I said blushing.

"Picture time," yelled Alice. "Let's move it to the back folks."

We all walked to the backyard where the poor photographer was trying to get everything done as quickly as possible to keep Alice happy. Angela came over and told me I looked beautiful and I thanked her for being in my wedding.

The photos took no time at all and before too long we were being herded into the kitchen. The party had moved into the foyer and everyone was seated at the tables so they could announce the wedding party. Everyone went out until it was just Edward and I in the kitchen, alone for the first time since we said the day before. I gazed up at his perfect face, held on to his perfect arm and waited to for the MC to announce.

"Ladies and Gentleman, I am honored to introduce Edward and Isabella Cullen"

We walked through the doors and on to the dance floor that had been set up.

"And now the happy couple we will have there first dance as husband and wife."

Edward and I walked to the center of the dance floor. I was leaning in to him so hard I would have crushed if he weren't indestructible.

He whispered in my ear, "Just like that night at the prom…" and the music started. Claire De Lune by Debussy. Edward led me around the floor and I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

Eventually both our parents joined in as well, but I barely noticed. Edward always wondered if vampires could go to heaven. I knew the answer before, but now I was sure. I was in heaven, and Edward was right there with me. Question answered.
