The Beginning

Two weeks earlier:

"Ang, for the last time you look wonderful, but we don't want to be late."Ben chided. He was such a worry-wart, we had 45 minutes till the wedding started and a ten minute commute. Anyway, weddings always started late. "Okay", I replied anyway, "I was just finishing wrapping the gift."

We hopped into Ben's car and started to drive towards the Cullens grand home.

"Did your dad say anything about the rehearsal?" Ben asked as we drove past the school. "He said it went quite well. But Bella almost fell down the stairs," I added with a laugh. "He said when he left, she was practicing."

I would have Ben with me at collage, but I didn't know anyone else that was going to the same school as us. I was very, VERY, nervous. But we were going to spend as much time with The Cullens that we could. I had never been much good at making friends and collage was going to be a big challenge for me

When we arrived, about 20 cars were already parked on the front lawn. Emmett showed us to a parking spot next to Charlie's cruiser. As we made our way to the house, we could hear lovely piano music drifting from the door. Jasper helped us to our seats which were next to my mother and Jessica&Mike who, as usual, were not here yet. I looked around and recognized more than three-quarters of the guests. Ben looked rather uncomfortable, in a tux borrowed from his 15-year-old cousin. I too, was getting a little anxious.

Finally, my second-best friend and her on again-off again boyfriend arrived. Soon after, the ceremony began…
