I totally forgot about one thing in my first two chapters – the disclaimer *stupid me*
So I am not S. Meyer, all the Twilight saga belongs to her. I am just writing this for fun :)

Chapter 3 – Do you seriously want me to wear this?
JPOV
I had slept for a long time. And because the house was crowded with workers, florist and whoever else, I just grabbed something to eat for light breakfast, okay, better lunch and went to Edward's house. He lived on the other side of the town in a semi-detached house, one occupied by his family, the other one by his aunty and uncle who happened to be Emmett´s parents – so Emmett was Edwards's cousin. As I mentioned before we three have been best friends since early childhood and we had made every single experience together, annoying school and teachers, first kind of girlfriends, first hairs not growing on our head, and the Emmett/Rosalie love, what was a bit weird for all of us at first but actually she couldn't have a better guy.
I rang the bell of the Cullen house but nobody answered. I guessed that Edward was still sleeping and his parents at work. His dad was a doctor in the local hospital, his mom an interior designer. So I pressed my finger against the pressure of the bell and I wouldn't stop pressing until Edward would open. That was a thing I always did.
While I was waiting, the door from the other half of the house swung open and Emmett emerge from inside, saying while going: "Bye mom, dad. See you later at Rosie´s house." Then he saw me, smiled and came over. So I gave up ringing Edwards's door. Time for So-In-Wedding-Mood-Emmett.
"Hey, best man. What´s up? Coming to see Edward?" I simply nodded – after my fancy he was in a too good mood.
"Man, I guess he is sleeping. I hope you don't mind but I have to go, Rosie told me to be there soon because her bridesmaids are about to arrive and I haven't seen them in a while."
I nodded again. "'Kay, then. See you later. Don't forget we need to go to Port Angeles for the suit fitting!" I nodded the third time and off he went. Oh yeah, I couldn't wait for getting pressed in a suit. I did not like dressing up, probably because of my dislike for big events including me.
I sighed and started to press the bell again and this time Edward opened the door. He was looking sleepy, but smiled. "Hey man, come in…we got some best man speech writing to do!"
After researching in the internet and managing to get a so-so speech, we both were satisfied. Now I just needed my dad to read over it, do some slightly changing, I know he would find things to change. I decided to outstrip this whole speech thing. So I went back home and searched for Dad. Someone told me he would be in the backyard so I headed there. I asked a florist girl standing around but she couldn't help me. I spotted Rosalie sitting on one of the tables, with two girls, I guessed were her bridesmaids. One girl with long brown hair was sitting with her back towards me, the other one, who had dark brown short hair, was talking to Rosalie and then looking to me.
I just heard Rosalie saying: "That is Jasper." Then she turned towards me. "Meet my brother, girls!"
I rolled my eyes, tried to smile at the girls and got hit - hit by the beauty of this short haired girl, excuse me, woman who was sitting there. But I tried my best to hide my pleasant surprise. "Rosalie, where is Dad?"
She jumped from her seat, grabbed me in her arms and looked at me angrily – just playing though, but still. "Jasper, sweetheart, where are your manners? Say 'Hi' to Bella" she pointed at the long hair girl, "and Alice." Alice?! Nice name…
"Uhm," I run my hand through my hair, "Hi." I got a playfully slap from my sister and that brought me back to reality.
"Jasper!" she hissed "You could be a bit more talkative!" And to the girls she said. "He isn't always like this! I'm sorry. I guess he is a bit nervous because he will be the best man for Emmett." You could hear that she was proud of this.
"So, Rosalie, have you seen Dad, or not?"
"Uhm, no. Sorry. Mom should be in the kitchen; go and ask her." She sounded like she was talking to a little child but I wasn't in the mood to playfully fight with her as a big brother and so I just nodded and was about to walk away as I heard her say "Jasper, don't forget that we have to go to Port Angeles in half an hour. You will drive us! Emmett will drive the moms. Thank god the dads are already done with the fitting." And, again, she was in wedding-preparation-mood. I looked at her, but then I yielded to her and simply nodded before I walked into the house to find Mum.

I couldn't stop starring secretly at him and admiring his dirty blonde hair that wasn't too short, no, it surrounded his face perfectly without being too long. I couldn't see his emerald eyes properly while we were driving to Port Angeles. Bella and I were sitting in the back seat while Rosalie was sitting in the passenger seat next to Jasper, discussing with him about the wedding menu or whatever. I wasn't listening, just secretly starring.
After a time that couldn't have been long enough we reach Port Angeles and the bridal store. I had no idea what Rosalie was going to make us wear but I was sure it would be perfect. I knew her taste, it couldn't be wrong. I knew it because we talked a thousand times about our weddings as we went shopping – and of course we would always follow the dress code – the bridesmaid's dresses would never be longer then the bride's dress. I also haven't had seen Rosalie's dress, she just had described it to me on the phone as she ordered it – of course Rosalie wouldn't wear a dress from the rack and so she would never choose from the rack for the maids as well even if it would cost her a fortune. It was just one day in her whole life and it needed to be perfect!
We stepped inside the shop and the wedding bubble finally caught me. I couldn't wait to see the dresses.
Inside there were two sections, one for men, the bigger one for women. Emmett was already waiting with the mums and another guy, I didn't know. Jasper walked over to them, quickly hugging his mum and then Emmett´s mum as well and then the three guys were welcomed by a sales lady while another sales lady said hi to us. "Welcome to Adora´s Bridal store. I am Lisa. I hope you are fine. If somebody needs something, I am all yours. So, who is the maid of honor?" She asked Rosalie. "Uh, that is little Alice here." ME? Wow, I was overwhelmed. Rosalie made me her first bridesmaid.
"Thanks Rose." I bubbled.
Lisa caught me, looking at me critically and then she smiled and nodded. "Yeah, that will fit perfectly." She kind of pushed me in a big dressing room where they had mirrors on three sides and a rack with a single red dress. I was asked to undress completely, Lisa left me alone while I should do this and before handed me some silky underwear. Wow, even underwear – that was perfect. I slipped into the bra and panty and looked at myself in the mirror. For being 25 I was looking good I thought. No cellulites, smooth skin and short hair what tended to stand to all sides; a bit spiky after all. My small nose and my hazel brown eyes fitted nicely into my face. I was satisfied with my figure. Lisa came back and helped me into this gorgeous satin dress. It was ruby red, tailored in A-line with being tight around the breast and flowing down to the ground, nearly touching it. Directly under the breast was a small white band which ended in a cute ribbon with long ends on my back. It had an invisible zipper and it fitted almost perfectly, just around the waist it was a bit loose. Lisa put some pins into the fabric to make it perfect.
"Alice? You are done?" Rosalie called from outside. Lisa guided me out to where Bella was already standing, in the same color but in a different style of dress. Hers just went until her knees and was looking great on her. We smiled at each other.
Rosalie had tears in her eyes and muttered "I knew it would be perfect!" Then she hugged us both and went into the dressing room with Lisa.
Bella and I were guided to some smaller dressing rooms to get back in our normal clothes so the tailors could finish their jobs with our dresses.
Then we stepped outside and seated next to the mums who were waiting for Rosalie to come out and finally show her wedding dress. We got some glasses of sparkling wine and were sipping it while the mums told us that Emmett has been send outside the shop so he definitely couldn't see the wedding dress. I loved that they followed this tradition!
And then an angry scream broke the tight wonderful atmosphere we girls were in.
"RO-SA-LIE!!!" An angry Jasper stormed out of a different edge from the big store "YOU DO NOT SERIOUSLY WANT ME TO WEAR THIS!?!"
As she came out in a hurry she was looking stunning, except of her angry face. Her dress only could be described as a gown which was made just and only for her.
But that didn't help the problem. "What the fuck, Jasper. Where is your problem?" She screamed at him. Her mum jumped from her seat, running towards her children. Now Rosalie was looking like she would cry in the next second. Her mum hugged her. "Hush, Rose. You know him. He isn't someone who likes to dress up." She looked at her son and made a face like she understood him, but still facing him angrily. "And maybe, my love, it is really a bit much." Rosalie sobbed. "No, Love, don't get me wrong – it isn't just Jaspers style. We shouldn't overdo it, okay?" She looked into her daughter's eyes and Rosalie nodded hesitantly. "And you!" Now the mum turned to Jasper. "It is HER day, don't be so mean!" He looked at her apologetically and then stepped forward to hug his sister, mumbling something that sounded to me like apologizing and then he stepped back.
The three of us, who were still sitting looked at each other questioningly. We didn't know what to say. Personally, I didn't get his problem. I thought he was looking breathtaking in his chocolate tuxedo with the ruby red cloth in his breast pocket what exactly matched with Bella´s and mine dress. His vest was slightly lighter than the jacket and fitted perfectly with his hair. I couldn't do anything but starring at him. Maybe his mom could convince him to wear it after all.
The rest of the fitting went without anymore interruption, the other guy who was introduced to us as Edward, Emmett´s cousin and another best friend did not make a scene with his suit. He was either fine or just more relaxed. After the fitting we went to have dinner in an Italian restaurant and then we headed back to Forks where Jasper dropped us off at the Bed and Breakfast. The rest of the evening I spent with sorting my presents from my Europe trip, finally wrapping the wedding present and chatting with Bella who kind of couldn't stop to mentioning Emmett´s cousin Edward again and again. I guessed that she got a slight crush on him.
