Author's Note: Sorry it took me so long...I had a volleyball tournament, and I'm on Spring Break, so I'm on vacation! Hope you enjoy! :)

I glanced out into the living room of the Cullen's house. Well, it's my house now. All of the furniture had been removed from the area and tables were set up all around the room. It was a stunning sea of golden topaz, the color of Edward's eyes.

The setting was complete with cream colored china and breathtaking vases of freesia. Not only were the tables set up to perfection, but the dance floor was also a focal point of the room. Dancing was so not my thing.

"Are you ready for our first dance as husband and wife, love?" Edward smiled down at me with his crooked smile.

I gulped, and I knew Edward had heard it because he laughed. "Everything will be fine. I won't let you fall…ever. I promise." He led me to the dance floor, and another song that Edward had composed just for the wedding swept over the room. The song represented the two of us perfectly, of course.

I was wrapped in his arms for a long while. We swayed to the music and it felt perfect. We fit together perfectly. His strong arms left the small of my back and one began to trace my spine and the other brushed stray hairs out of my face.

"Have I told you that you look very handsome?" I said while staring in his eyes.

"Have I told you that you look very beautiful?" he grinned and gripped my waist.

"I believe you mentioned it, but it doesn't hurt to hear it again." I giggled as he pulled me closer with his lips to my ear.

"You are the most stunning creature in this universe." He placed small kisses from my ear to my mouth, stopping on my mouth with a passionate kiss. The music stopped and everyone applauded. "Let's get you something to eat." Edward dragged me to the head table and pulled out my chair.

A waiter brought me chicken. I love chicken! Edward saw my reaction to the delicious looking food and grinned. The waiter placed a plate in front of him, also.

"What are you going to do with that?" I whispered.

"Shh, love. We have it under control. Eat your food. You're going to need your strength for later." He grinned at me, and I blushed. Did he really just say that to me? He brushed his fingertips over my cheeks and whispered, "I love it when you do that."

I noticed, as I was eating my food, that the food on the Cullens' plates was disappearing just like everyone else. Then I spotted the napkin on Alice's lap. They were quickly slipping food into the napkins. Those waiters are going to be very confused later. I giggled to myself.

Edward glanced at me, "What's so funny?"

I leaned over and whispered, "I was just thinking of the surprise the waiters are going to have when they find napkins full of food later." He smiled and kissed my forehead.

After I was very full of the amazing food, I slipped my hand into Edward's. Angela, who was sitting by her boyfriend, started tapping her fork against her glass. She smiled wickedly at me as everyone else around the room did the same. I groaned. I really didn't like kissing Edward in front of everyone, but Edward beamed and kissed my smartly on the mouth.

It lasted much longer than many of out kisses. Edward pulled away because he could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks at someone started to wolf whistle, probably Emmett. "I love you," I said as I rested my hand on his cheek. He smiled and retorted, "I love you more."

I rolled my eyes. We have had the argument of who loves the other more many times, and Edward almost always wins. Stupid, dazzling vampire.

Carlisle cleared his throat, and everyone near him quieted and faced him. He was giving a toast, and I could feel the blush already coming.

"The day Bella entered Edward's life, Esme and I knew there was something unique about this young woman." Edward squeezed my hand and Carlisle continued, "She entered our house and was a part of the family from that day forward. Although we may not have realized it at the time, Bella was already a daughter Esme and I. We love all of our children greatly, but to see Edward, our very first child, find happiness was more than we could have asked for. It is written: when children find true love, parents find true joy. Here's to your joy and ours, from this day forward. To Edward and Bella."

There were tears coming down my face. I loved both Carlisle and Esme as if they were my own parents, and very soon, they would be. I got up from my seat and went to hug Carlisle and Esme. "Thank you so much, I love you both more than words could say," I said for their ears only.

If Esme could cry, I knew she would be. My father's voice caught my attention next. If I thought a speech from Carlisle would be hard, a toast from my own father would be much worse.

"Needless to say, when Bella and Edward told me that they would be getting married, I didn't take the news so well. Actually, that's an understatement; I really, really didn't take it well." He smiled at me and continued, "I thought to myself that they were much too young and that they really couldn't be in love. But today, as my only daughter walked down the aisle, I could see it in her eyes. Love, determination, and hope were the things I saw when she looked at Edward. Not only that, but Edward wore the same expression."

Charlie paused for a moment, probably wondering how to phrase the next part. "I was selfish; I didn't want to lose my baby girl." Charlie was going to cry. There was no way I could take it. "But, in reality, I was gaining a son. I know Edward will love Bella for all time." Edward smiled at this and whispered into my ear, "For eternity."

Charlie looked right into my tear-filled eyes, "My greatest wish for the two of you is that through the years your love for each other will deepen and grow, and that years from now you will look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least." I couldn't take it any longer, so I went and wrapped my arms around my dad and whispered, "I will love you forever, dad. Thank you."

"Love you, Bells." He squeezed tighter. I wasn't sure how much more I could take. Thankfully, there were no more toasts. I ruined my makeup enough for one night.

So, awkwardly, Charlie and I stepped out onto the dance floor. I inherited my clumsy genes from Charlie, so I was slightly frightened about what might happen. But, to my surprise, the dance went smoothly. Edward stepped up and took my from my father's arms and Charlie whispered something to Edward, and Edward chuckled and whispered back.

I stepped into Edward's arms and asked, "What was that?"

Edward smiled and said, "He told me that if I ever hurt you, his shot gun would always be loaded. And I told him not to worry, because I'm not going anywhere."

I shook my head. That was very much like Charlie to say that. Alice bounced over and started excitedly, "Cake time! Cake, cake, cake!"

"Alice, calm down. Nothing to get too excited about," Edward said frowning at her.

"Wait and see Edward," she grinned her broad smile and bounced away. "She's blocking me for some reason," Edward said frustrated.

I took Edward's hand and led him to the cake. "Edward," I started, "You can't eat this. What am I going to do?"

Edward smiled, "Don't worry, love. I'll eat it. It may be gross, but I can take a little bit of cake." I nodded my head. Edward and I cut the cake, and he fed me a small piece. When it was my turn, I knew why Alice was excited. I took my piece and instead of putting it in his mouth, I squished it on his cheek. He looked at me in mock horror, and I giggled.

He wrapped his arms around me, and I swiped my finger across his cake smeared cheek. I put my finger in my mouth and smiled. He looked slightly shocked. "What?" I said, "I like cake," I giggled.

I saw the desire build in his eyes, and he kissed me. "Let's get out of here," Edward said.

"Edward Cullen," I tried to stay sternly, but the humor in my voice couldn't be missed, "This party is for us. We can't just leave."

"Oh yes we can." Edward scooped me up and swiftly left the room. I distinctly heard Emmett yell something about a wedding night and another wolf whistle.

I blushed, and Edward said, "Finally, I have you all to myself." He lowered my into a limo that was waiting for us to take us to an unknown destination...well, unknown for me.

"Edward, where are we going?" I asked sweetly, hoping to dazzle him.

Edward kissed my nose and grinned, "You will just have to wait and see." I pouted, and Edward chuckled, "Pouting will get you nowhere, love. I will not say a word."

I pushed myself closer to him and whispered, "Please?"

He laughed again, "Never."

I went back to my seat to pout, but Edward kept a firm grip on my waist. "I love you more than anything." I looked into his eyes. That was a mistake. His eyes were full of passion, love, and a lot of desire. There was no way I could keep pretending to be mad.

"I love you more," I said wickedly.

"Never," he whispered.

Well, there it is. Next chapter, of course, is the wedding night. Rating will probably go up. :) Chels
