Chapter 2: Tying the Knot

"Bella, you are absolutely beautiful!" Squealed Alice as she stepped back to admire her work.

I looked over to Esme. She was speechless! Honestly, I had never seen a speechless vampire, especially one with her mouth hanging wide open.

"Wow," said Rosalie. Hmm…I'm breaking a record on the speechless vampire list!

"Bella! Look!" Squealed Alice, again.

I took a deep breath and turned around.

Okay, so now we have two speechless vampires, a squealing pixie vampire, and a speechless human-soon-to-be-vampire. My jaw dropped. I did look absolutely beautiful. My brown hair was cascading down my back in long tendrils that seemed to never end. My dress was strapless and white, with an apple red colored band at the top. There was also an apple red colored band at the bottom. In the back, the dress split in the middle with an apple red hem, then under the hem was a completely apple red piece that flowed onto the floor into the train. There was also beading along the hems and the color. I could amazingly walk in my heels that Rose picked out for me! My necklace and earrings were strictly diamond. Wait till Edward sees this!

"Hey, wait a minute. What if Edward reads one of your thoughts and sees me before the wedding? Isn't it bad luck?" I asked my own personal group of torturers.

"Okay, first of all, I would personally kick his butt if he read one of our minds and saw you. Secondly, Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper took him far enough away that he couldn't read our minds. Lastly, I would kick his butt again!" Rosalie said, giggling.

I laughed. Rosalie had been really nice lately…ever since she found out that Edward and I were getting married. I guess she realized that she might as well be nice and get used to it. Who knows!

(Edward POV)

"Edward! Stop that! You know you're not allowed to read their minds! We're almost out of range. Could you please contain yourself until then? Geez! Do you want me to punch you?" Emmett cried as the airplane soared over Denver.

The flight attendant gave Emmett a dirty look and continued walking along the aisle. Jasper smirked. Emmett glared at him.

"You too."

Carlisle just rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"I just wish Renee could come." I sighed as Esme, Alice, and Rose got ready. Their dresses were the same as mine, only their colors were the exact opposite.

"So do we, dear. So do we." Esme said in her motherly voice, and laid her hand on my shoulder. Alice looked away.

"Okay guys. We had better get going. The guys should be there by now. And yes, Bella, we are keeping our minds completely blank so Edward can't see. Right Alice?" Rosalie said, looking at Alice, who smiled guiltily.

"I'm trying…I'm just so excited!"

"Ugh." Sighed Rosalie.

"Alright everyone. Downstairs and to Alice's car."

We arrived at the edge of the forest about twenty minutes later. I was slightly confused, because I thought we were going to have the ceremony in the church. Plus, the sun was shining really bright.

"Uhh, guys, why are we here?"

"Because this is where your wedding is. Don't you recognize it?" Asked Rose.

Then it clicked. We were at the meadow. Our meadow. I took a deep breath.

"Ready? Jump on my back." Said Rose, and bent down so I could get on. Alice grabbed the back of my dress so it wouldn't get caught on anything as we ran.

"Wow." I exclaimed when we made it to the meadow. The sun was shining into every square inch of the open meadow, and the water was glistening in the stream. In the middle of the meadow stood a covered gazebo big enough to fit the whole wedding party into it. Then, I understood why it was so big. This way, they won't sparkle. I thought, as I stood in the shadows before the clearing. Emmett and Jasper guided Rosalie and Alice up the covered aisle while Esme walked behind them. Alice was beaming, as well as who was sitting in the front row.

Then, I saw them. I drew in a breath. Renee and Phil were sitting beside Charlie in the front row. Now I understood why Alice looked away when I said I wished they could come. My eyes followed the aisle to the front, where everyone in the bridal party was standing. Carlisle stood in the front (he was performing the ceremony) and Emmett and Jasper stood beside — Edward. He looked amazing! Well, he looked amazing all of the time, but him in that black and red tux—well; let's just say I stopped breathing.

He beamed at me, and then I figured it was time for me to walk up the aisle. I took a deep breath and stepped out into the clearing. Everyone stood to face me, and I saw all of my friends from school and some family members. I also saw the Denali clan seated on Edward's side.

The entire time I was walking down the aisle, I was hoping and praying that I wouldn't trip. But, amazingly I didn't and when I got to Edward, he smiled and took my hand.

The rest of the ceremony proceeded without any mishaps to my disbelief, and Carlisle finally said the words "you may kiss the bride." I had been waiting for this moment all day.

Edward's lips touched mine and my mind went completely blank. It was a short kiss, well at least to me, and when we finished we turned around to face the audience.

"I would like to introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen."

When everyone had filed out of the meadow and it was just Edward and I, I turned to him.

"Bella, I am the happiest man alive today." He said, and kissed me once more.

I took his hand and lead him into the sunlight. It took my breath away the way he sparkled.

"And I am the happiest human alive." I said, and kissed him. "Now, we had better get to the reception before the guests think we stopped off somewhere!" I joked. He grabbed my waist and threw me onto his back.

"Okay Mrs. Cullen!" He said, and beamed.

Now, the wedding went by perfectly, but the reception—well, that's a completely different story.
