Ch. 2 The Reception.

Warren's POV…

Wow. Just wow. I have no other words to describe how amazing, how beautiful today was. Lissy, my lissabell is now my wife.

"Are we done Alice?" Lissy questioned, as we posed for pictures. Several of her and I had already been done. At the moment I was at the sideline watching the photographer take shots of her both by herself and with her bridesmaids.

"Almost." Alice replied, as she moved Carlisle. Then Esme. Finally Alice moved the whole group, Me and Lissy in the center. Carlisle beside her, Esme beside me and the rest of the party arranged in front, and off to the side.

"Ok done now." she sang. To which Lissy muttered.

"Oh thank heaven, those shoes are killer." which caused all but Alice to laugh. I knew now was the reception, where we'd be introduced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Warren Cullen. I'll admit I liked the sound of that. A lot.

Carlisle's POV…

I couldn't keep the joyous smile off my face. I was sure my skin would crack soon, as I looked over the group while Alice posed us this way and that for the wedding pictures. I think my favorite will be the one I know was taken as I walked Lissy down the aisle. Lissy. My youngest daughter is now a married woman. I glanced at my youngest son, only to see him grinning from ear to ear. It's time now to go into the reception, so we head in as Warren and Lissy will be announced formally. Alice outdid herself, is all I can think, looking at the red draped tables and chairs. Red roses, and white calla lilies dominate the floral arrangements. Esme and I take our seats at the wedding table, even though we won't be eating. As soon as we are seated they start announcing the wedding party.

"Bella Cullen and Emmett McCarty." are first through the doors. And I was positive Bella would be blushing if she could.

"Alice Whitlock and Edward Cullen." was announced and in danced Alice, Edward was smiling too.

"Rosalie McCarty and Jasper Whitlock." was announced and in comes a beaming Rose and in equally beaming Jasper.

"Finally it gives me great pleasure to announce, last but never least, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Cullen." everyone stood to applaud in greeting for the newlyweds. Lissy blushed at the attention, and it reminded me of Bella. She and Bella were one in the same as far as attention went. Dinner was a quick buffet for the humans in attendance, including many of Jacob's pack. Plus some of the friends Warren and Lissy had made in high school. Including Will stronghold and his parents. Luckily all the humans were more supe then human so we didn't need to hide what we were. I noted a pretty red head that came in with Will. Layla I think I was told is her name. She seemed genuinely happy for Warren and Lissy, unlike Will who scowled whenever he thought nobody would notice. After dinner, as the band set up, Warren and Lissy sat at a special greeting area to meet and thank the guests for attending.

Lissy's POV…

Greeting everyone wasn't as long a process as I'd thought, but then I'd insisted on a short as possible a guest list. Something Alice and I agreed on, as she didn't want to draw the Volturi's attention. I was looking forward to the group dances we'd planned. Some of the guests brought presents even though we hadn't asked for anything, and it was as I took these to the side table, Alice had insisted we'd need, and set them there. That was I heard Will's muttered 'what a freak' comment. Scanning the crowd quickly I spotted Warren standing with Jazz and Edward. Jazz's scars clearly visible to his superhuman eyesight.

"Shut up about my brother." I snapped, startling him. I know how sensitive Jazz gets about his battle scars.

"Lisa you looked beautiful." he tried to complement away his remark, but I wasn't having it.

"Don't try and snivel your way out of this. That freak is my brother, and you will not insult him." I put up a shield to keep our dispute from reaching the ears of those concerned. Will opened his mouth to say something, but Carlisle appeared suddenly, and stepped between us.

"Now now, no fighting." he said, pointing his verbal reprimand at Will. He must of heard us, but then I'd only shielded this from the guys. Namely Jazz, who wasn't out of hearing range. I hadn't realized anyone else was close. Will settled for thinking if I was more then a daughter to Carlisle. I knew he didn't like me, but his issues were not anything I concerned myself with.

"That's my father your talking about." I snapped, causing Will to look slightly embarrassed. He'd forgotten I was a telepath apparently.

"I think it'd be best if you leave. My family and I don't need you causing trouble today." Carlisle told him quietly. Will nodded and backed away, still thinking gross things, so I growled at him.

"Now." Carlisle made it an order. Will turned and vanished in the crowd, probably to tell his parents he was leaving. I'd leave Carlisle to ensure he really left.

"It's time to change for the couples' dances. The girls are upstairs waiting for you." he told me, when I'd calmed. I grinned, kissed his cheek and vanished out the door that led upstairs.

A half hour later..

"May I have everyone's attention please?" the bandleader asked.

"If everyone could clear the dance floor, it's time for the bride and groom to have their first dance as husband and wife. So playing a song written by the groom himself, are some of their siblings; Rosalie, Edward and Jasper." He continued once the floor was clear. I watched as Edward sat at the piano, and Jasper took up a guitar. Rosalie would sing. As soon as the melody started Warren and I took the floor, dancing a simple waltz. I could tell by the surprise that darted across his face that this wasn't the song he was expecting. I'd planned this as a surprise for him. Since this was our song, had been since we were kids, I couldn't think of any one better for our first dance as husband and wife. It was a dream come true for me. When the song ended, we kissed.

"Love you." I whispered against his lips.

"Love you more." he returned. I just smiled at him as we made our way back to the family. Next would be the father/daughter dance. Carlisle and I had decided to do a Viennese waltz to the tune of 'I've had the time of my life.' from the movie Dirty Dancing. It was a special song to us, seeing as it was a mutual favorite and the only one we could agree on for this. The song ended, and we went back to the table. Next up was Esme and Warren. They'd also decided to do a Viennese waltz, so as not to be outdone. They danced to the Savage Garden song 'Crash and Burn'. Which like our song held a significance only they understood. Though I had a good idea, cause their relationship took quite a while to get off the ground. Warren had not easily accepted Esme, like I had Carlisle. Jasper came over to me as their dance ended, it was time for the couples' dance. A tango set to Shakira's 'Objection (Tango)'. I'd thought it funny, and I was partnered with Jasper. While Warren was with Rose. Bella and Emmett were partnered as were Alice and Edward. The last dance was to be a group mambo set to the song 'Single Ladies' by Beyonce. The entire family was involved and each partnered their own spouse. After that we were free to dance and mingle as we pleased, though I did get a chance to dance with both Edward and Emmett.
