I own nothing not even the wedding vows.

Going To the Chapel of Love

Bells will ring, the-e-e sun will shine, whoa-oh-oh
I'll be his and he'll be mine
We'll love until the end of time
And we'll never be lonely anymore because we're

~Dixie Cups

The Beginning of Our New Life 1 Year ago

BPOV

I began taking deep calming breathes because day was the day I dream about since I was a little girl.

The only differences about the way I planned this day were that my father couldn't be here; however I know he's watching over me today.

I wiped the tears that escaped me when someone knocked on the door "Come in" I called out.

Two of the four most important people in my life came walking in. "Bella dear please tell me those are tears of joy?"My mother said sitting next to me on the bed pulling me into a comforting embrace.

"I was just thinking about how I wished dad was still here." I whispered

"I know baby" my mother said soothing me

I felt the bed dip beside me as another arm was placed around me. I looked up at the person to my left and smile lending into them "To think in just a few short hours I'll be your daughter in law. You sure you want that?" I mumbled jokingly to lighten up then mood

Both my mother and Lizzy began laughing until Lizzy became serious for a moment "I couldn't ask for a better woman for my son to marry. I watched you two grow up together and I knew this day would come one day. You complete each other in so many ways Bella. The love you both share is the type of love that does not come by everyday because it's everlasting and all consuming." She said while reaching into the pockets of her robe and handed me a long flat gift box.

I opened the box and saw the most exquisite piece of jewelry ever. I trace my finger over the necklace and I began to protest "Elizabeth you've given me so much throughout the years I cannot...."

Lizzy pinched my lips between her two fingers cutting me off. "I know you do not like people spending money on you but this however is a family heirloom that's been past down to woman in my family since the early 1900's. As you know Edward is my only child but I've known you even before you left the womb. You may not be my daughter by blood but you are in every sense of the word since the day you were born. Only difference is today it becomes legal."

I looked up at her with tears in my eyes hugging her "Thank you Lizzy this means so much and I love you"

"I love you too, Bella dear" She told as she pulled out my embrace

I turned to my mother as she placed another gift into my lap "Before you protest this was given to me by your grandma Marie on the day I married your father."

I opened it to find a beautiful sapphire hair clip.

"I love you momma" I whispered as I hugged her

"I love you too baby, now let's save these tears till it's time to exchange your vows."

I smiled at the statement falling backwards onto the bed squealing "I'm getting married today"

Both my mom and Lizzy shared a laugh over my excitement for today as they left the room.

After squealing like a five year old I shot out of bed and began to get ready for my big day.

As I opened the bathroom and the scent of lavender and Jasmine assaulted my senses. I turn to the tub and saw a steamy bath already drawn with flower petals in the water with various incenses and candles lit within the bathroom.

I thought it was either my mom, Lizzy or my maid of honor that would set up such a relaxing setting for me. However those thoughts were quickly pushed aside when I saw a silver tray with an envelope that said "To My Blushing Bride"

I picked up the envelope smiling, Edward always find some type of way to surprise me.

After taking off my clothes I step into the tub carefully, Lord only knows that I'll be the bride who ends up saying 'I Do's" in the ER. Once settle in the table I opened the letter for my love.

My Darling Isabella,

My every breath I breathe! My heart beats for you and I find myself falling asleep and waking up thinking of you. The sun shines and the sky is blue. The birds sing to the tune of my everlasting love for you. I want you to know on this special day and in doing so always remember forever,

till the end of time that no matter when, or where each time you look around and beyond or up in the blue sky above, be it midnight or midday my love will always be there. Each star you count each song you sing. May it bear the three magical words; I would want to say, over and over,

And yet afraid that they may lose their magical charm but my heart soars with love for you in undimensional ways. O! HOW I LOVE YOU! If I had one wish, I'd ask for wings to fly you

to the sensational peaks and heights of my love. I'd carry you atop my wings and show you the flight of the Phoenix and in doing so just maybe, you would know the depth of my love.

And if we should fall, a floating cloud would catch us and as long as we are together

the warmth of our true love will see us through reminding us as we go along that no matter

how hard the fall. We will survive it all, afterall! You are my reason for living, and you are the power beneath my wings. So darling, let us soar like the awesome phoenix, and dance on the cloud of love, wrapping ourselves in the rainbows of heaven. Experiencing the meaning and magic of...TRUE LOVE!

I remember a few years ago we were sitting in our living room reading to one another and this poem had always held a place in my heart whenever I thought about you and our love. Bella, Bella, my precious lobster I'm lost without you. Last night was one of the most difficult nights for me, I've grown accustom to having you by my side every night; However spending one night without you is worth it when we're about pledge to each other for eternity. I love you and I cannot wait to see you walk down the aisle in all your beautiful.

Till We Meet at Twilight My love

Edward

P.S tell Sara I owe her for setting this up for me

Edward's letter had me in tears and bursting with even more excitement to meet him at the altar. I got out the tub drying myself off and putting on my robe to join the others in the other room for breakfast. "Someone looks like they just got dazzled" Sara sung in a songlike voice.

I walked up to her and gave her a big hug "Thank you so much. His surprise and letter made this day even more perfect if that's even possible."

"Anything for you babes, now let's eat because we have a busy day ahead of us and I want absolutely no fussing either Isabella."

I looked up at her amused "I won't dream of it. Today you have free reign to do your worst because no amount of makeover's or uncomfortable underwear's can damper my spirits. Just make sure you get me to that altar in one piece." I laughed

Everyone joined in with the laughter "Bella agreeing to makeovers and me doing my worst why can you get married everyday that'll make my life so much easier." Sara replied jokingly

"That's the beauty of today in only happens once in a lifetime." I said as I began to eat the fruits on my plate

Breakfast past with everyone in my bridal party laughing and joking followed by a trip to the spa were we all gotten manicures and pedicures.

When we finally reached back to my suite I sat down and immediately went to my happy place while I let them torture me by doing my hair and make up.

Once finish with my hair and make-up I went into my room and began putting on my undergarments.

And stare at the bags hanging up in the closet with my two wedding dresses. Yes that's right I have two wedding dresses but not because I'm vain or trying to show off. No I have two wedding dresses because I'm getting married on the beach, so that after the ceremony the whole wedding party can take pictures on the beach and in the water.

I smiled as my Maid of honor took the dress for the actually ceremony out the bag it was a One-piece, slim line gown with corset closure. The chiffon is gathered throughout a slim line gown and features a ruched Vogue Satin band at the empire waist. With an innovative detachable shoulder strap is embellished with a floral accent. And has a finishing style with a soft illusion train. (A/N Want to see the dress look at my profile.)

Once the dress was one I twirled around looking in the mirror smiling. "You are a vision of beauty" A voice said from behind me

I smiled at Edward's father and ran to him giving him a hug. "Thank you for agreeing to walk me down the aisle today Ed, it means the world to me."

"Bella you have no reason to thank me. I know your father would have been proud and I'm honor to be standing in his place."

My eyes began to brim with tears "Hey hey none of that now. I go an anxious fellow out there waiting for his bride. What do you say we get this show on the road?"

I beamed proudly at Edward's father and just nodded me head thinking to myself soon my love, soon we'll be husband and wife.

The music begun and everyone in the wedding party started walking down the aisle as I began taking deep breathes mumbling "Please don't let me fall"

"I won't dream of it" Edward's father replied

We were up this is it I thought as I squeezed Edward's father's arm gently. As everyone rose to their feet, my eyes locked with the only person that matter right now and with just one look he melted my worries away.

I was never on for attention on me but none of that matter right now as I kept my eyes on the man who would soon be my husband as he mouthed "I love you"

And as he reached out for my hand from his father a spark ignited throughout my entire body. It was like everyone disappeared and it was only just the two of us presence.

The minister cleared his throat breaking us from each as gaze

Let us take a moment of silence to open our hearts to Love's presence revealed in the natural beauty around us, in the earth and sky, in the trees, the breeze, the sounds of the stream, the song of the birds. Also let us be aware of that same presence as it stirs within us, expressing itself through our emotions of joy and happiness… but most especially, as it reveals itself in the radiant love of Edward & Isabella

Edward & Isabella, family and friends, welcome to this lovely location here by the ocean. We're gathered here to celebrate the coming together of your two separate lives, to share with you in this wonderful moment of uniting your hearts, minds and souls into one through holy matrimony.

Simply allow your hearts to become peaceful and quiet now, like a placid pond in the early morning, and rest in the love that has brought you here today. Like the current of this mountain stream that brings life and beauty to wherever it flows, so the current of God's love, the current that "knows the way," has brought you to life and beauty both in and through each other.

It has been said that, "Our real journey in life is interior; it is a matter of growth, deepening and of an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love and grace within our hearts." And this is your journey, Edward & Isabella, as husband and wife, namely learning to bow before the love in your hearts which you have for each other as it guides you into the future.

By marrying today you choose to travel as one to that home which is not a place, but rather an experience carried within you on every breath. An experience born of deep love that takes you each day closer to the one love that you are, to a loving of each other simply by 'being' who you are.

"The moment I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." – Rumi

Opening Prayer:

God of love, you are the power that awakens and draws lovers out of their separateness into a whole new adventure of oneness and wholeness. We give you thanks for Isabella & Edward, for their open hearts, willing spirits, and for the example of love which they embody as a couple for us today. Empower them at this moment and always as they join their lives into one.

Readings:

"When we approach marriage and family life as a sacrament, we encounter the great mystery that is the heart of both love and faith. As a man and a woman come to love each other unconditionally, after shattering habitual roles and abandoning masks, they become at once dearer and more mysterious to each other. Lovers, like true saints, have learned to cherish, trust, and embrace the mysterious other to whom they are joined but may never fully understand. Drinking from the fountain of the mysterious other - the Unknown God, the unfathomable soul, the lover who remains a familiar stranger - passion may be renewed daily." - Sam Keen

Intentions:

Isabella & Edward, you have found in each other that which compliments your life. You stand here as two independent whole people, each bringing your gifts and love to this marriage.

Sharing of Wedding Vows:

So I ask you to join your hands and declare your vows to each other before God and this community of family and friends joined together with you.

Edward began patting me on my hand as I stared deep within his beautiful eyes attempting to fight back the tears as he begun to say his vows.


As I stand here looking in your eyes I am overcome with an inner peace that can only be described as private euphoria. You're an amazing woman and person who challenges me, supports me, and always inspires me. I love you. I will stand by your side giving you the support you deserve and need regardless of the obstacles ahead. I will honor and respect you in all situations forever. Today/tonight I pledge my love and commitment to you and no other.

Isabella, the world is a very unstable and scary place filled with uncertainty. I offer you my hand, my soul and all that I am, and ask you to allow me to be your anchor. So that in those times of hardship we can look to each other for support and I promise you we will weather the storms. I love you and joyfully take my place neither in front nor behind you, but at your side for eternity.

I do not worry about our future together, since we have already touched each other's souls, and affected each other's lives, in so many ways, we can never be totally removed from each other's memory. A Part of me will always be you, and a part of you will always be me. That much is certain No matter what happens. We have a history which is here to stay. Thank You my love, for coming into my life.

Our smiles were radiant as I mouthed "I love you" to him once he finished his vows. Even though I tried to hold them back my tears flowed freely after he just poured his heart out to me. I think I even heard sniffling coming from somewhere behind me but as of right now nothing else mattered it was just Edward and I in our own tiny bubble. I took a deep breathe trying to calmly say my vows without crying.

I 'promise' always to give you the best of myself, And to ask you no more than you can give, I will always accept you the way you are. I fell in love with you for the qualities and abilities, and the outlook on life that you have, and I won't try to reshape you in a different image. I will always respect you as a person with your, Own desires and needs, and to realize that those are sometimes different, But no less important than my own.

I will always share with you, my time and close attention, And to bring joy and strength and imagination, into our relationship. I will always pledge to keep myself open to you To let you see through the window of my personal world, And into my innermost fears and feelings secrets and dreams. I will always promise to grow along with you. To be willing to face change as we both change in order to keep our relationship alive and exciting

And Darling I will always love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and with all I feel inside in the only way I know how completely and forever.

I began breathing heavily as more tears flowed down my face but even though I was crying my smile was as bright as the sun. And I just kept thinking to myself 'At Last' were halfway home.

Edward & Isabella have chosen rings as outward symbols of the commitment they make today.

From earliest times, the ring has been a symbol of wedded love. An unbroken and never-ending circle symbolizes a commitment to love that is also never ending.

Isabella, you are my life, my love, my best friend, and with this ring I thee wed. May it be a reminder of my love and the sacred commitment I have made here today.

Edward, you are my life, my love, my best friend, and with this ring I thee wed. May it be a reminder of my love and the sacred commitment I have made here today.

Let these rings serve not as locks binding you together, but as keys, unlocking the secrets of your hearts for each other to know, and thus bringing you closer together forever.

Final Blessing:

Isabella & Edward, by your free choice you have made a marriage. No matter what the demands on your lives and your time, the meaning of your living is now known through your love.

"The same wind moves you, but not in the same way. The same earth holds you, but not in the same place. The same sun feeds you and you share each other's shadows. Now you will feel no rain, for each shall be shelter to the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each shall be warmth to the other. Now you will feel no loneliness, for each shall be companion to the other. Now you are two bodies, but there is only one life before you. Go now to your dwelling place to enter into your days together, and may your days be good and long on earth!" – Apache Blessing

Edward & Isabella, because you have showered our hearts with expressions of your love, and promised each other the joy of all your days, it gives me great honor and pleasure to now pronounce you husband and wife.

Edward, you may now kiss your beautiful bride!

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present to you, for the first time as husband and wife: Edward and Isabella Masen.

The applauses were loud but neither of us cared because we were still within one another's arms kissing.

"I LOVE YOU MRS. MASEN" Edward declared as raised me off my feet and spun me around in his arms

I smiled looking down lovingly at Edward and release all my excitement as I whispered against his ear "As I love you, my love, my number one and most importantly my husband."

After our friends and families came to congratulate us Edward scoop me up into his arms as I looked over his shoulder I saw the entire groomsmen scoop up everyone in my bridal party and ran out towards the shore.

A/N

Okay so their married now. I only added the ceremony because Edward and Bella only have like 1-2 chapters of happiness before it all goes downhill.

The Reception is next, followed by the Honeymoon. I will make part of the Honeymoon tender and sweet but after that DESTRUCTION……

Want to see my vision on their wedding look on my profile.
