A Second Marriage
Chapter Two...
Bella's Point Of View
As Rosalie stopped the car infront of the small tent in which Sue could wait for the wedding it begin, Sue smiled at me and I hugged her one last time. We hopped out of the car and Alice led her to the tent. I went to the one next to it, to see my dad. He didn't hear me come in. I noticed he was sitting in a chair, looking at something... very fixated on it. I creeped behind him and looked over his shoulder. He was holding a picture of his mother. My grandmother. I smiled and layed my hand on his shoulder, and with that he looked up at me and smiled. "Bella.. I didn't notice you were there."
"Sorry,
I didn't want to interupt you." I smiled down at him and noticed
his eyes were full of tears. He stood up and straightened his suit.
"Dad.. don't cry." I sighed and hugged him tight.
He
hugged back. "Sorry Bells.. I just wish she could be here. But..
atleast dad's here."
My Nana had died when I was young,
about 4. I didn't know her much, but Charlie and her had been real
close. I couldn't really understand how he was feeling. Both him and
Renee had been present for my wedding. Charlie quickly wiped his eyes
and slid the picture into his pocket. "Dad.. She's here in
spirit. Remember that."
I
smiled, and so did he, then glanced at his watch. "I should get
out there... Sue's due to walk the isle in two minutes."
I
hugged him again. "I"m so happy for you."
"Thanks
Bells."
I kissed his cheek and he left the tent. I did too a
minute later, and slid into my seat next to Alice. There was a seat
next to me, where Edward would join me soon. I glanced back and
smiled as Edward begun to play a special song on the piano. Charlie
and Sue had heard him playing the piano at the Cullen's house and
immediatley asked him to play at the wedding. He gladly accepted.
Everyone stood as Sue walked out of the tent with her father at her
side, and she begun to walk down the isle. Charlie nor Sue had a
'proper' wedding with their first marriages, and they both agreed
they would this time. Sue gleamed as she walked down the
peddle-scattered isle; courtesy of Renesmee. She was asked to be the
flower girl. I winked at Sue as she passed by, and she smiled at me.
She looked... amazing, and so very happy. Everyone's eyes followed
her, as her father walked her up the isle and then handed her off to
Charlie. I couldn't help but smile insanely wide, as Sue and Charlie
stood, hand in hand, the minister in front of them.
"Dearly Beloved," He began.. "We are here today, to watch as this lovely woman, and this courageous man join together, in holy matrimony." The minister smiled at Sue, then at Charlie.
"Charlie
Swan.." He continued. "Do you take this woman, Sue
Clearwater, to be your wife?"
Oh my god, if I could cry right
now, I would be bawling.
"Yes,
I do." Charlie said, as I noticed a single tear ran down his
cheek.
"Do you promise to love her, through health and
sickness, for as long as you both shall live?" The minister
questioned.
"Yes, I do. I promise." Charlie smiled widely at Sue, and Sue smiled back.
Next,
the minister turned to Sue, who was already crying. "Sue
Clearwater, do you take this man, Charlie Swan, as your husband?"
"Yes, of course, I do." Sue choked between sobs.
The
minister smiled at her. "Do you promise to love him through
sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"
"yes, I do." Sue smiled wider than she already had
been.
The
minister smiled wider, "I know pronounce you husband and wife !
Ladies and Gentleman, may I present to you, Mrs. and Mr. Charlie Swan
! You may now kiss the bride"
Charlie lifted Sue's veil and
kissed her gently on the lips. Then, Charlie picked her up in a
massive hug and spun her around. Edward suddenly appeared by my side
with his arm around my waist, and I beamed up at him. "You did
an amazing job on the piano, love."
"Thank you," He smiled, his most dazzling crooked smile. "but I have to go back and play the closing song." He took my hand and led me back to the piano with him. We sat down, and he begun to play, as Sue and Charlie walked down the isle, hand in hand. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
