So the first few chapters aren't going to be the best ever, because i'm not to good at weddings and lemons and stuff, just because of my lack of experience in both areas, but PLEASE, bear with me, i promise you, it will get better.

"You can't be serious
"You can't be serious!" I gasped. "Oh Bella come on, the sooner the wedding, the sooner you can be changed!" Alice repremended. Two weeks though? That is a bit soon isn't it. "I've already finished the planning, and everything has already been bought. All you have to do is let me fix your hair and make up, put on your pretty dress, walk down the aisle and say 'I do'" I nodded. "Fine, two weeks sounds good." Alice jumped up and down and squeeled. "Yay! Now come down stairs and eat something before Edward yells at me for starving you!"
As I sat at the table, eating my cereal Alice continued to jump about beside me, telling me the details of the wedding. "It won't take more than an hour or two to set up the lawn for the ceramony." She explained after she described the extent of the decorating. "Whatever." I said under my breath taking another bite. "Bella!" she scolded, placing a hand over her frozen heart. "Sorry Alice, I just want to get this over with and be changed already."
She nodded in her knowing way. "Don't worry, it won't be long, three weeks right?" I nodded, Three weeks until my eternity begins. What am I going to do?
"Don't worry about it Bella. Everything will work out fine." I could tell there was something she wasn't telling me. "What is it Alice?" She shook her head. "It's nothing Bella." "Alice!" I warned. "Umm, it's just," She took a deep breath. "Your parents aren't going to come; they keep telling themselves that you're dead to them. And after the wedding, you won't be able to see them anymore." She said quietly. I shut my eyes, convincing myself everything would work out. "Ok, that's fine, if I'm dead to them, that will just make everything that much easier once I'm one of you."
There was a cold, strong hand on my shoulder. "Bella." My heart froze in my chest, and my breathing ceased. "Breathe love!" He ordered after a moment. I tried to suck in a breath, but pain ripped through my body.
"Bella? Bella, what's wrong?" he gasped, looking me in the eye. I tried to show him that I was in agony with my eyes. "Oh my god! Carlisle!" He shouted. Carlisle appeared by my side. "What is it?" "She can't breathe, help her!" Edward cried. Carlisle's eyes widened and he stooped down beside me. He put a hand on my back and one on my chest and lifted all the pressure off my injuries, so that I could manage a breath without as much pain." He continued holding me like that so that I could breathe tiny, worn out breaths. "Edward, go grab some Remium from my office!" He ordered.
A moment later Edward was back with a loaded shot of the medicine. Carlisle took it and and shot it into my wrist. The pain dulled immensely, and I could breathe without Carlisle holding me. "Thank you!" I gasped, breathing deep breaths.
"Are you sure you're up for this my love?" Edward asked before sending me off to Alice to get ready for the wedding. "I'm sure love; just you tell Jasper that he's going to be supporting most of my weight all the way down the aisle." I said before turning to Alice. Ever since the breathing incident movement of any sort had become much more difficult, I could barely manage a few steps at a time without the pain coming on hard. "Will do love." He said as Alice pushed him from the room.
Alice carried me into the bathroom and eased me down slowly. "Rosalie will be here in a minute to help me with your hair. She's getting into her dress right now." I nodded then tried to hold perfectly still for her to work on my make up.
"Hello ladies!" Rosalie called, swooping into the bathroom. "Rosalie, you look wonderful." I breathed. Her dark blue dress made her pale skin and hair seem to glow; I could only imagine how it would look with Alice's dark hair. "Thank you Bella! Now let's see what we can do with you." She picked up the flat iron and got to work.
An hour later, I was standing in front of the mirror, unable to believe that the woman before me was truly me. My hair was pulled up into a messy bun, some loose strands falling down to rest on the shoulders of my dress. The make up Alice had so carefully applied was so perfect, with light brown eye shadow that faded into my natural skin color, my eyelashes darkened and lengthened, everything was so great!
"Knock knock!" Jasper called through the door. "Come in dear!" Alice called back. The door swung open slowly, and when Jasper's eyes fell on me, his mouth dropped open. "You look great Bella, Edward is so lucky to have you!" He then turned to his bouncy little wife. "And I am so lucky to have you, Alice." He said softly, wrapping her up in his arms. She hugged him back, and then pushed him away. "Is it almost time?" she asked, bouncing more and more. "Yes love, only a few minutes left now." Alice squeeled and ran from the room, only to appear a few moments later in her dress and make up. "You look great love, now it's time to go."
Jasper carried me down the steps, and into the line up for the ceramony. The music started playing softly, Esme, Rosalie, and Alice walked out with their escorts. Then the song changed. It changed to the lullaby Edward wrote for me in our first year together. Jasper turned to me "Ready Bella?" I nodded and he reached around me and practically held me off the ground all the way up the aisle where he handed me off to Edward. Emmett looked sadly at me before he began the ceramony, knowing he'd caused me all this pain.
"This is the time that you have chosen to become husband and wife. We are here not only to witness your commitment to each other, but to wish you every happiness in your future life together. Marriage is founded on sincerity and understanding which leads to tolerance, confidence and trust. We believe that those qualities which have attracted you both to each other, can be best developed during a life spent together. A happy marriage will enable you to establish a home with love and stability where your family and friends will always be welcome."
"Two lives, two people, so very different, yet so similar. Together we stand as one, sharing our future as it comes. The past is that past. Buds are yet to blossom, with care and trust, the best is yet to be revealed. Honesty and kindness, are the fruits of love. Lord bless this day and always to enrich us so our love will never end. Before you are joined together in marriage in my presence and in the presence of these your family and witnesses, I am bound to remind you of the solemn and firm nature of the relationship into which you are about to enter. Marriage as most of us understand it, is the voluntary commitment of a man to a woman and a woman to a man to the exclusion of all others and is entered into with the desire, the hope and the firm intention that it will last for life."
Emmett turned to Edward, "Would you now recite your vows." Edward nodded and looked into my eyes. "I Edward, affirm my love for you, Bella, as I invite you to share my life. I promise always to respect your needs. I will endeavor through kindness, unselfishness and trust to achieve the warm rich life we now look forward to. To this end I call upon all present to witness that I take you, Bella, to be my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health while we both shall live."
Emmett then turned to me, "Would you now recite your vows." I nodded and looked at Edward, avoiding his eyes because I knew that if I looked into them, I would forget everything.
"I, Bella, affirm my love for you Edward, as I invite you to share my life. I promise always to respect your needs. I will endeavor through kindness, unselfishness and trust to achieve the warm rich life we now look forward to. To this end I call upon all present to witness that I take you, Edward, to be my lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health while we both shall live."
We slipped our rings onto each other's fingers, and Emmett told Edward to kiss me. Oh my god, I'm married! I screamed in my head. Edward turned us to face our audience, and Emmett's booming voice sounded behind us. "I give you, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Anthony Mason Cullen!" Everyone cheered as Edward scooped me up into his arms and ran me into the house and up to his room.
"Well Mrs.Cullen, care to tell me why you wouldn't look me in the eye throughout the whole service?" He joked. I smirked at him. "Well Mr.Cullen, it might have been that if our eyes would have met, then I wouldn't have remembered anything, not even to breathe!" I laughed. "Now help me out of this dress and into that one." I pointed to the dress Alice had hung from the closet door. "Yes ma'am!" Edward stood up behind me and unzipped my dress. I could tell he was very disappointed when he saw I was wearing a thick white slip underneith it. "Aww, don't be to sad baby, after everyone's gone." I promised. He nodded as he handed me the other shorter, more functional dress.
"Come on you guys!" Esme shouted through the door just as I slipped on my shoes. "Yes ma'am, we'll be right down." Edward scooped me up into his arms and carried me down the steps and into the reception area.
Edward set me down at the table then lowered himself down beside me. Once everyone was seated, waiters came up behind us and placed food in front of everyone, and to my surprise, the Cullen's actually started eating!
"Edward!" I hissed. "What are you doing?" He chuckled "It would be very suspicious if neither I nor my family ate at my wedding." He took another, minuscule bite.
Once everyone was fed, music started playing again, and Edward pulled me up. "What are you doing?" I gasped. Edward rolled his eyes and stood me up on his feet in the middle of the dance floor. "Dancing with you." He said quietly as he spun me around the dance floor. When the song ended, I tried to get away, but Carlisle pulled me over and set me on his feet. "And what are you doing?" I groaned. He laughed quietly, just as Edward had. "Father, Daughter dance Bella, it's a tradition."
When the song ended, everyone clapped. Carlisle helped me over to my seat, and went over to pull Esme up for a dance. My ribs were throbbing as Edward and I watched Emmett and Rosalie, and Alice and Jasper joing their parents out on the dance floor.
"I'm sorry Edward." I said quietly, leaning in to him. "For what love?" He asked, clearly confused. "I know you want to go out there and dance and I would go with you, really I would, but it hurts to bad." Edward shook his head. "Bella, that is not your fault, do not say you're sorry for it, its fine. We'll have plenty of time to dance later, and trust me; I will take full advantage of that." He smiled mischievously.
After everyone had left, Edward pulled me up out of my seat, "Can you walk?" I shruged my shoulders. "I can try." I slowly moved my legs, as Edward held his hand on my back to support me.
As he carried me slowly up the steps, I looked around. "Where is everyone love?" Edward shrugged. "They went up to Delini so that we can have the house to ourselves; they'll be back in a week for your change."
When he set me down in the room, I kissed him on the lips chastly. "Now stay here while I change!" I ordered, turning into the bathroom. "Yes Mrs.Cullen." He laughed, sitting down on the bed.
