Authors Note: sorry I took longer to get this chapter up, I've been studying for my school certificate (or at least trying)., plus I haven't been to a wedding since I was 8. Chapter after this is the reception. Where do you guy's recon the honeymoon should be? In America or abroad? Let us know aye. Oh yeah and the vows are really cheesy just to warn you, so you might need crackers (bad joke I know) enjoy.
Chapter 3:
I heard the wedding march being played, and saw everyone turn in there seats. Almost all of forks were here. I only saw four people from La Push Billy, Sue Clearwater, Emily and Sam. when Emily replied to the invitation she told me that the pack were out tracking down Jacob who had run away. They had had no success at all, it were as if he didn't think anymore as if he had turned into a wolf permanently. When Emily had told me this it almost broke the part of the part of my heart that belonged to Jacob. Since then Alice distracted me with wedding plans to the extent that I hardly knew my own name.
As I saw my friends from La Push they smiled though Sam's looked a little forced as I expected. I looked at the rest of the crowed, Angela with Ben, Jess and Mike, even Lauren the girl who hated me with all her being was there smiling. Within a few seconds I had a large grin plastered on my own face, it was infectious. Finally I looked to the aisle and I saw him, Edward in all his perfection a smile on his lips and a glint in his eyes.
I felt myself blush and had no idea why, was it normal to blush walking down the aisle? I couldn't care for long though. I was getting closer to Edward with each step, I could feel Charlie's grip get stronger with each step. I knew Charlie was very very reluctant about me getting married. When we told him he yelled for hours, and then didn't talk to me for almost a whole week. See how sad it made me Alice pulled him aside to talk some sense into him, Charlie never could say no to Alice just like me.
We reached the priest and with much hesitation and a cough from Alice he gave me a big hug and said "I do love you". He then let go and sat down. Right then I was ready to burst out in tears, Charlie had almost never said that he loved me. I always know he did, but like me he wasn't good at expressing emotion.
I turned and faced the priest and Edward, Emmett was standing behind Edward as he was the best man. When we were trying to decide who would be best man of course it was between Emmett and Jasper. We asked them to give them a choice. Jasper bowed out of the running saying he'd rather be on crowd control.
Edward was still grinning; his eyes were on me almost flickering with an electric charge that was somewhat hypnotic, my blush deepened. The priest started the ceremony, but I couldn't rip my eyes away from Edward to look at him. In what seemed like a matter of seconds the priest asked Edward to recite his vows. We'd both kept our vows secret from on another to make it all the more special. As I heard his voice my heart was beating so fast I was surprised it hadn't shattered my rib cage.
"Few things in this world are made to last, as the years pass almost everything will change or die but the one thing that will never change or die is my love for you. Today I stand here as simply me, for all our family and friends to witness but only for you to have" he nudged Emmett at this point, Emmet dug into his pocket, then gave something to him. "Let this ring here" he held up the band then placed it on the correct finger on my left hand "forever be a symbol of the time we have together and a reminder of the love we share" his words sounded like music. He was still holding my hand when the priest asked me to say mo vows.
"Though out my life I had never really thought I was meant for anything in particular, then I came to forks and everything became clear I was in fact meant for something, something very special, you" I felt Alice push the ring into my free hand. "With destiny printed in the chapters of my life I now wish to for fill a very important chapter of it by becoming your wife" I placed the ring on his finger never braking eye contact "I am now ready to begin the happiest part of my existence by you'r side".
For a few powerful moments there was silence, I dared to look out into the gathering and saw several people whipping tears away, including Renee. I turned back to face Edward who had never lifted his gaze from me. The priest said a few words about the holy union which was marriage then took my and Edward's hands. "With the power vested in me by the father the son and the holy spirit I now pronounce you husband and wife you….."
The priest's words were drowned out, as a crying howl of pain that echoed from me woods into the church. As one, the assembly of guests stood up in shock. Edward's gaze had finally left mine. He nodded, I followed his stare to see Sam who was sneaking out the door, at once I knew what or should I say who it was.
After a minute or two, Jasper had managed to calm the gathering down in his special little way. The priest decided to finish were he left off. "You may now kiss the bride"
I blushed; it was embarrassing the thought of kissing in front of so many people. Edward moved closer and lowered his head to meet my lips. As soon as I felt his cold beautiful lips on mine I forgot he people around. Edward lifted his head up and took my hand as I tried to get air back into my lungs, only then I heard the cheers and claps.
I looked out to see everyone clapping; it put the smile back on my face. As I listened intently to the applause I heard what it was masking, crashing in the trees behind us. I gripped Edward's hand tighter; I never wanted to be separated from him again.
Then the crashing coming from the woods was gone, only the sound of the wind whistling through it was left. "May I introduce Mr and Mrs Edward Cullen" were the last words I hear from the priest as everyone rushed up to congratulate us and say they'd see us at the reception. Once everyone but family had left the photographer Alice had hired got to work, directing who was in each picture and so forth.
After an half an hour of posing and smiling we left the church and headed for the reception at the Cullen's.
