Before I start I would like to give a shout out to my editor who happens to be my BFF, so give it up for Satchelle!

Preparation
Telling Renée wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, she took it pretty well. She cried a little, and said we were too young only once. She did demand to talk to Edward though and I couldn't tell what she was saying and Edward wouldn't tell me.
We were at the Cullen's house about 20 minutes after talking to Charlie and Renée. The others were out hunting. I was curled up on the couch in Edward's arms when we heard the door open. I jumped at the sound, of course Edward knew they were coming just by listening for their thoughts. He could have at least warned me. I had been so caught up in his eyes I hadn't even noticed when he had put a blanket over us.
Alice was the first in the room. She looked at us standing there, Edward with his hands around my waist and me with my hands behind my back. She smiled at us a little questioningly. Jasper came into the room next. He blinked for a second, I knew he could feel how awkward and nervous I felt. Following behind them was Emmett and Rosalie. Emmett took one look in the room and started laughing; Rose just rolled her eyes and went to sit on the couch behind us. As she went behind us we moved so that our backs were to the fire place, now no one was able to see my hands. Carlisle and Esme came in after them and just raised their eyebrows.
I looked up at Edward as he looked down at me and smiled my favourite crooked smile.
He nodded to me, answering my unspoken question. They already knew that we were going to get married but they didn't know that we had made it final, well, perhaps Alice did, though she didn't look like it.
Slowly, very slowly, I brought my hands out in front of me. But I kept one in the other so they still couldn't see my ring.
"Oh come on you two just tell us already! Either get it over with or go away so I can watch the game." Emmett said to us. I glared over at him the same time Jasper backhanded him.
"Let them talk Emmett. Can't you see that they're nervous?" Jasper snapped at him.
"Not everyone can feel emotions man, only you..."
"Enough you two, let them talk." Carlisle injected. I smiled at Carlisle.
I was shaking badly and my right hand was holding on to my left so hard that the circulation was cut off. Edward saw that I was scared, so he reached over and slowly pried my right hand away from my left and held it gently. My left hand just sort of stayed were it was, it didn't fall to my side or anything, it was just suspended in the air in front of me.
They all just stared at us for a minute. Then Alice started being...well Alice. She started dancing around and singing gleefully.
"There getting married, there getting married."
"Alice please stop it." I said a little annoyed. She had decided to grab my hands and attempted to make me dance around the room as well. Luckily Edward had a good grip on me and refused to let go.
Jasper
stepped forward and pulled Alice into a kiss. She immediately stopped
dancing. Jasper then pulled away when he felt her calm down, and
looked at me.
"What's wrong Bella?" He asked.
Shoot I forgot he could feel what I was feeling.
"I'm fine Jasper, really I just...Well I don't know, I feel nervous... excited...overwhelmed." I stuttered looking at the floor.
"Bella none of those is what I sense. I sense do..."
"Drop it Jas." Edward snapped. I looked up at him to see that he was glaring at Jasper. "What she feels is none of your concern."
"Well. It looks like we have some preparation to do now don't we." Esme said and walked over to give me a hug. "Congrats Bella and take care of him, you know how he gets." She whispered in my ear.
Edward raised his hands as if to say why? "You know I can hear you, right?" He said and we all laughed.
Emmett was smiling evilly. He walked over to Rose and put an arm around her waist. "Rose you haven't said a word yet what are you thinking?" He asked her.
She looked up at him and smiled. "I was wondering what they would do for a honey moon." She said slowly so that we could all understand what she meant.
Emmett laughed "You know I was thinking the same thing." He said and then kissed her. "Well you all have so much to do so I'm going to go upstairs and..." He stopped with a look from Alice.
"We are all going to help, that includes you and Rose." She snapped at him. She then disappeared for a minute and came back down with a clip board in hand. When did she get a clipboard? "Now Rose I'm going to need you to deal with the flowers and helping me with Bella's dress..."
"Alice please don't forget about yours and Rose's dresses." I cut in. "You are the bridesmaids and Alice you're the maid of honour..."
"Don't you mean the maid of horror?" Emmett said under his breath even though we all could hear him.
Alice went to slap Emmett but Jasper beat her to it.
"Be nice Emmett or I won't help you out with Rose anymore." He growled. We all laughed except for Rose and Alice who just glared at them.
"Anyway!" Alice continued. "So I guess we have to do our dresses too. This is going to be so much fun! Oh, Esme I need you to be in charge of preparing food for our human guests."
Again I cut in. "Um I know you won't like this, any of you really, But um..." I paused not really sure what to say.
"What ever it is Bella I'm sure we can handle it." Carlisle said with ease.
I sighed. "Well I'd kind of like
it if you guys would human food so you don't look so out of place.
And I don't just mean eat a bite and leave the rest I would like
you to eat a full meal, each, if you don't mind." I told them
looking at the ground.
There was a loud groan that came from all
of the young Cullens.
"No, Bella is right. If I have to do it, which I do since its my wedding you all must eat what's served as well. It's not a request." The other's nodded, no one wished to tick Edward off right now.
"Besides you were going to have to all eat a piece of cake anyway. And maybe we can order some stake that's medium rare." He added trying to make it sound more appealing. But one look at me and he changed his mine. "Oops never mind I forgot Bella faints at blood." That had them all upset since Edward had just got their hopes up.
Carlisle walked over to me. "What is it about blood that makes you sick?" He asked curiously.
I looked at him in surprise I heard Edward laugh, I looked up at him again. He nodded at me and hid his smile. "It's the smell." I said which made them all look at me.
"But humans can't smell blood." Carlisle said slowly.
"That's what I said 2 years ago." Edward said. Carlisle was about to say more but Alice cut in.
"Ok can we please continue?" She snapped obviously annoyed. We all went quiet at the sound of her voice. "Thank you. Now, we also have to get a tux for Edward, Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper."
"Can't I just..." Emmett stopped mid sentence with another of Alice's looks.
"Thank you. Now Jasper I want you to get the invitations made. After Edward and Bella make a guest list that is. Besides picking out your outfits that's all you have to do." She addressed Edward and I.
"Um wait, I thought that it was supposed to be the brides' side of the family that plans the wedding." I said just so that she would stop talking.
"Oh but Bella we are your family. Oh and we will have the wedding here of course. And the reception." She started to talk to herself then making arrangements with out even asking us what we wanted. "Bella how many people are you planning to invite from your family?"
"I don't know, enough." I said looking at the floor.
"How many Bella?" She asked again. "We have to know how many chairs to put out."
"Fine, um 10?" I said
"Oh Bella that can't be all." Alice squealed.
"You just said family not friends Alice."
"Ok then how many friends?"
I thought about it for a minute there were my friends here and in phoenix. "20 friends, 10 family?" it was more of a question then a statement.
"Fine that's better. Oh and we can invite Tanya's family. And maybe the Am..."
"No Alice that's not a good Idea. Tanya and them sure but not the others, they drink human blood don't forget." Carlisle said.
"Ok fine." She said looking a little deflated.
"But let's get started. Its only 1:00 pm and we only have until... When do we have until?" Alice asked having just realized that we had not given them a date.
Me and Edward looked at each other and at the same time we answered her. "Three weeks."
"Ha-ha look it's the Siamese twins." My mind was starting to wander and my eyes were half closed but I knew that the only one who could come up with that would be Emmett.
"Shut up Emmett." I said weakly, already half asleep.
"What are you going to do about it Bella? You can barely stand let alone argue." He said still laughing. But he suddenly went quiet and I realized that Edward was not beside me anymore. I wobbled and nearly fell over but then he was back again.
"Come on Bella lets get you to bed before you pass out on us." He said and lifted me up and carried me up to his room. I fell asleep in his arms on the way upstairs.
...
The next morning Alice ran into the room. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of bed and down the stairs and into the kitchen where there were baskets and baskets of flowers. I started at them and then at Alice and Rosalie and all I could think was that this was going to be a long three weeks.
(Well that's chapter 2. Sorry it took awhile to post. I just couldn't think of anything, my editor was slow and well it's a long one. Hope you liked it. Review ok. Thanks. :) )
