Chapter 4
Bella
My wedding day, holy shit! I'm getting married to the man I don't even love! Shh, Bella calm down Bella, you'll only be married to him for a month, and then you can go and live happily with Jacob. I just hope that day comes fast! Father time please hurry this thing up! I know your not real but please! Come on! I paced around in my room with Alice trying to get me to stay still so she could finish my hair. "Bella, stay still!" she scolded.
"How can I? I'm getting married to a man I don't love and the man I do love I can't marry till I'm divorced!" I yelled. I hope my mom didn't hear that. I'll be so dead if she did.
"If you held still we could get out faster, get you married, then all you have to do is wait a month, divorce, leave, then when the divorce is official marry Jake! So calm down!" she yelled back at me. I really hope that my mom didn't hear that because that's the plan and if she finds out she'll mess with it!
"Okay." I took a deep breath.
"Count to 10, it always helps Jasper." advised Alice.
"Okay, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." I said slowly, taking deep breaths between each number.
"Okay, finito! Fantastico!" she said in Italian.
"Grazie! E 'impressionante!" I responded in Italian, looking at myself in the mirror.
"La vostra accoglienza! Sapevo che lo amo!" she smiled. (Translations at the bottom)
Oh, did I forget to mention we went to Italy before (Alice too) and we spoke in Italian all the time I guess it stuck with us.
"Okay, help me with the veil please." I said trying to put the veil on my head.
Alice helped me with the veil, and then finished up my make-up.
"Okay, now all you need to put on is the shoes and your set." Alice said putting the finishing touches on my face.
"Here the shoes." she said tossing me the white heels.
"Put them on while I get your mom and Esme." I nodded.
I slipped on the shoes and walked to the large mirror that showed me from head to toe.
I looked pretty, actually I looked beautiful. My make-up was perfect, my lips were glossy I'm not a girl who wears lipstick, my face looked as if it was glowing, my brown eyes stood out, the strapless dress clung to my body from my chest to my waist, then went puffy and princessy from my hips down, my shoes matched my dress perfectly, my veil hid my hair, but I could see it was in a bun with my bangs made into braids tied to the bun, just like Bella from the Beauty and the Beast, okay, that's just weird. It's like I'm the beauty, who doesn't consider herself to be beautiful, and Edward is the mean, old beast. That's weird, extremely weird. I looked back at the mirror and smiled, "I look like a princess." I giggled. I have never thought of myself looking beautiful or like a princess, but right now I have to admit I do look like a beautiful princess. I giggled again, and then I heard the door open and close. "What are we giggling about my beautiful daughter?'" smiled my mom, pushing my veil back.
"I was giggling because I look like a princess." I smiled, fixing my dress.
"You do, you look like a goddess." said Esme, I blushed.
"It a good thing Alice didn't put on blush, your natural blush beautiful enough." said Esme, touching my cheek.
"Look at my baby girl, just yesterday she was a little girl, now she's a woman." smiled my mom. I smiled back, but it didn't reach my eyes, I would be hurting Esme and my mother if I divorced Edward after a month, look at them they're practically praising me.
I looked down and played with my fingers, I played with the promise ring Jacob gave me. My mother saw and said, "Bella, forget Jacob, your getting married you need to take that ring off." she made a move to take it off, but I pulled my hand back.
"Bella, you have too." said Esme.
"No, I promised I wouldn't take it off no matter what. I promised him I would stay his friend." I lied.
"You can stay friends, but you have to take that ring off." trying to grab my hand but I pulled back again.
"No, if you love me you'll let me keep the ring." I begged, she thought for a minute.
"Okay, but for now put it away, put back on after the wedding and reception." she said.
"Where do I put it?" I asked.
"Here, I'll carry it in my purse. When we get to my house I'll give it back to you okay sweetie?" said Esme, rubbing my back.
I hesitated, what if she sees what's written on the silver band? It's says, 'I will luv u 4ever & always- Your Jake 3'but there is a fifty percent chance she might not see it. I just hope see doesn't see it. God please don't let her see it. I took off the ring and placed it in her waiting hand.
"Please don't lose it; it's very important to me." I whispered, looking into her eyes.
"I promise." she smiled, putting it into her white purse.
"Thank you Esme." I hugged her.
"You're my daughter in-law I would anything to make you happy." she hugged me back.
I almost broke down into tears, Esme was so happy that I'm going to be apart of her family and I would be breaking her heart if I divorced, but I love Jake not Edward and Edward loves Tanya not me. What was I supposed to do? Be single for the rest of my life? I shuttered and shook the thoughts away.
"Bella are you ready?" asked my dad, walking into the room with a smile. Oh no please don't tell me he's happy that Edward's going to be my husband. I don't want to hurt a 3rd person.
"If you mean ready by freaking out but happy then yes." I smiled, fixing my dress and veil again.
"Hey, just like your mother on our wedding day!" he laughed.
"Explains why I'm more like her then." I laughed nervously.
"Come on, your husband to be in 10 minutes is waiting." he said looking at his watch then back at me.
"Okay, see you." I waved to my mom and soon to be mother in-law in 10 minutes. 10 minutes, that number and word made me even more worried than the number and word 1 month. I think I'm going to throw up. Bella, calm down nothing to be worked up about 1 month and everything will be fine. Take deep breaths.
I took 3 quick deep breaths; I looked like I was hyperventilating.
"Bella are you okay?" asked Esme, putting her hand on the small of my back.
"Never better, why?" I smiled.
"Well you kinda were hyperventilating for a minute there." she said, a worried expression on her face.
"Okay, that! I was taking deep breaths; I guess I got carried away." I blushed.
"It's okay, now go, Edward is waiting for you." she smiled.
I nodded, and linked my arm with my dads.
"Bella are you alright? You look a bit pale."
"I'm fine, just a little nervous." I smiled, weakly.
"Well don't be, I'm now handing over my job as your father to Edward, I expect him to treat you nicely, buy to everything you want, and be the prefect husband if not I'll rip his head off." he laughed.
"I assure you he'll be nothing but the perfect husband and friend." I smiled, weakly again.
"Good, but if he isn't remember I can always rip his head off." he smiled, but was dead serious when I looked into his eyes.
I laughed, "Fine dad, you can and I won't object."
"Yes." he fist pumped with his free arm.
I laughed, "You're a weird father."
"Thank you and you're a weird daughter." he touched my nose.
I giggled, I felt a lot better with my dad making me laugh.
"Thanks dad, you made me feel a whole lot better then I was before."
"You're welcome, anything for my little princess...oh... I mean my queen." he smiled, stopping at the door to where it led to my last day as Miss. Swan to Mrs. Cullen.
"Here we are, ready?"
"Now, yes." I smiled, my dad smiled, pulling down my veil so it hide my face, then re-linking our arms. He told the man at the door, "Open the door." he nodded, and complied. The room was beautiful and bright, everyone standing and smiling at me, and I knew they couldn't see my face, but I still smiled back. My eyes went to the alter to see Edward looking dashing in a black suit, smiling, I knew it was a fake smile as was mine.
I walked slowly with my dad to the alter, once we stopped, my father put my hands in Edward's, I felt the eclectic current pass through me as it did the first day I met him. I stood in front of Edward, nervous all over again. I took in a quiet deep breath, calming myself.
"Welcome everyone to the marriage of our Isabella Marie Swan and Edward Anthony Cullen. Please be seated." said the priest motioning his hands for everyone to sit. I looked to my right to see my parents smiling, and holding their hands between them. I looked over to Edward's right to see Esme and Carlisle doing the same. Carlisle looked happy that he's son was being married to me, I think I might be breaking a 4th person's heart soon. 4th hearts broken in a month, it pains my heart; I never thought I would be doing this. I'm sorry everyone. I heard Alice whisper from behind me along with Rosalie, "It'll be okay." I guess they could sense my worries.
I closed my eyes, and got ready for the vows.
"Do you, Edward Anthony Cullen, take Isabella Marie Swan, to be you're lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part."
"I do." Edward said confidently.
The priest turned to me and said, "And do you, Isabella Marie Swan, take Edward Anthony Cullen, to be you're lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part."
I took a deep breath and said the words that would be changing my life forever, "I do."
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." Edward pulled away from my hands, and moved to my veil, lifting it up; he placed a sweet, long kiss on my lips. I didn't kiss him back knowing that if I did I would regret it later. He pulled away, looking into my eyes, I swear I saw a hint of love in his eyes; he probably was picturing me as Tanya the whole time.
"Everyone, Mr. & Mrs. Cullen!" shouted the priest, the family, friends, and relatives broke out into applause. My parents came running up to us, Edward held my hand, so it looked like we were in love.
"Oh my god, my baby's all grown up. A married woman." my mother said, hugging both Edward and I tightly, I mouthed a sorry to Edward, he just nodded.
My mom let us go and up can my father.
"My princess isn't a princess anymore; she is now a queen, a very beautiful queen." he smiled, hugging me and whispering in my ear, "I'll always love you no matter what happens." I smiled, knowing my dad would accept the breaking of Edward and my marriage. I felt like crying, "I love you too dad." I said as he pulled away, my voice breaking on some of the words.
"No matter what happens remember that I will always be with you alive or dead, I will always be in your heart so will your mother, but she's afraid if she's says that you both will break down crying." he said, laughing at the little joke he made, it's a good thing mom walked away before she could break down crying because I would be crying with her.
"Well I better find your mom before she cries her eyes out." he sighed, walking away.
Next Esme and Carlisle came and hugged us saying that they were so happy that I was apart of their family. I hugged them and said thank you, being the polite girl I am.
"Um, Bella the photographers need to take own wedding pictures." said Edward.
"Okay, let's go." Edward led me to a beautiful arch in front of a beautiful garden of flowers.
"Okay, Mr. Cullen go behind your wife and put your hands on her hips." said the photographer. Edward did as he was told. "Mrs. Cullen lean against your husband." I leaned back. "Now smile." I smiled and the photographer took 3 takes from 3 angles.
"Now Mrs. Cullen look into Mr. Cullen's eyes with loving eyes." I turned my head to meet Edward's eyes, he smiled, and I smiled and the picture was taken from the same three angles.
"This is the last picture. Mr. Cullen pick Mrs. Cullen up bridal style and do the same thing I told you to do before look into each others eye with love." I yelped when Edward picked me up bridal style, he laughed. I was too scared to look down, so when my eyes opened I stared into Edward's emerald green eyes. "You scared?" he smiled.
"Yes, I don't like to be picked up." I confessed, blushing.
"It's okay, it's only a picture, you'll be down in a minute." he smiled, when did he start being nice? Maybe he's starting the act early?
The photographer took the pictures then we took pictures with our families and friends.
When Alice, Rose and I took our pictures we made it goofy. Alice and Rose stuck their tongues out and their eyes were cross eyed, I just looked at them like they were crazy, everyone behind the photographer was laughing their asses off even Edward.
Edward walked up to me and grabbed my hand, "Time for the wedding couple to dance."
I gulped.
"What you don't like dancing?"
"I do, but I haven't ballroom danced in a long time."
"I'm here, I'm lead you through it, make sure you don't mess up, we're being video taped."
"Great that makes me feel a whole lot better." I said sarcastically.
"You won't mess up and if you do I just catch you, look into your eyes and bam! We either look like we did it on purpose or we say you tripped and I caught you making it look like I love you because I actually caught you, if we weren't married I would probably just let you fall and that would be funny to see over and over since it's going to be video taped."
"Jerk!" I slapped his arm.
"Hey I was kidding! Do you actually think I would drop you?"
"Yes." I mumbled.
"I'm hurt." he said putting his free hand over his chest and pretending to wipe away a tear.
"Whatever, let just get this over with." I rolled my eyes.
He put my hand on his left shoulder, put his hand on my waist and intertwined our hands. We moved to the music, a few minutes later someone tapped Edward on the shoulder, my father.
"May I please dance with my daughter one last time before she is all yours?" said my father.
"Yes sir." Edward moved away and my dad took his place.
"So Bella how you likin' the married life?" he asked.
"First of all dad, stop trying to be cool 'cause you know you ain't. And my married life hasn't really even started." I laughed.
"Whatever, I'm trying to be cool and hip like you kids." he laughed.
"We don't say hip anymore, the word 'hip' was cool in the 1960's it's now 2010 so please stop."
"Fine." he slumped
I laughed. After my dance with my dad, I danced with Emmett, who thankfully came and made me even happier because he doesn't like Edward so he wouldn't blame me if I ran off and eloped with Jake. Yay!
After the dances, was dinner. I sat next to Edward and ate, talking to Alice and Rose who thankfully snagged the seats neat to me before Jessica and Lauren the high school sluts when I was in high school, turns out they still are in high school! Talk about dumb sluts! By the way how the hell did they get invited to my wedding? Please don't tell me Edward knew them so he invited them. Please no.
After dinner we got into the limo and drove off to Edward's house.
"Thank god that's over, I couldn't handle all that acting." said Edward.
"Same here, ugh, those girls asking me if I loved you." I shivered.
"Oh, really? What did you say?" he smirked.
"What I'm being force to say, Yes, I love him." I gagged.
"Good, because I don't want you to screw this up." he said
"Me screw it up? What about you? You screw everything up! Driving into a flower shop and almost killing a lot of people? I call that screwing up! No wait I call that idiotic, moronic, stupid, do I need to go on?"
"Me! What about you Miss. Goodie Two Shoes? You never screwed up but soon you will! I just know it."
"Whatever you bastard!" I yelled, crossing my arms and looking out the window.
"Fuck you." he sneered.
Most stupidest mistake I ever made, I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I'm so stupid. I closed my eyes letting tears roll down my cheeks.
