AN- TaDa! The wedding you've all been waiting for! I do hope it meets all your expectations! Again, please remember that this is one day, told from many views, so the chapters are relatively short. But this one IS longer than the first three!

Oh and I realized I forgot to state the obvious, I don't own anything having to do with the Twilight series, that's all Stephenie Meyers


Here comes the Bride

I was trying to keep a straight face. It was very hard while standing next to Emmett as he chanted don't screw up don't screw up don't screw up in his head over and over. I had never seen him so nervous. His anxiety was actually helping my nerves. If he was this serious about it, I knew he really wouldn't do anything stupid.

I looked around at my family. Carlisle and Jasper were standing with me. Poor Jasper was doing everything he could to keep Emmett from throwing up. Maybe that's why I wasn't a wreck. I must be getting some stray calming from him. I smiled at his efforts. He rolled his eyes, nodding at Emmett and smiled back.

Finally the door to the house opened and the music began to play. My sisters began their march down the isle to stand on Bella's side. Rosalie was first, followed by my favorite pixie, Alice. They were both in sliver dresses, though the color was about all they had in common. Rose's was long and form fitting, while Alice's was much shorter and flowed freely. They both looked beautiful, of course. I smiled at them and their thoughts of how handsome I looked. Alice had dressed me in a tux with a short coat and tails, vintage similar to Bella's dress. Their thoughts also reflected how happy they were for me. As they took their place, I turned to watch for Bella. The seated guests did as well.

When she and Charlie appeared in the doorway, her lullaby began to play. Her eyes widened with surprise, then immediately started to glisten. She locked gazes with me and my already too large grin grew even bigger. She got a funny little smile on her face and blinked away the tears. Alice must have given her strict rules about crying.

As she walked toward me, I found I was having difficulty breathing. Alice had kept her from me all morning. Seeing her now was like a breath of fresh air, yet she took my breath away in the same instant. She was so beautiful. I truly loved the dress Alice had picked out. And she was right, seeing it in her head was nothing compared to seeing Bella now. She was radiant. She was glorious. She was standing right in front of me, dazzling me with her glowing smile.

Charlie gave me her hand and said, "Take care of her."

I looked him right in the eye as I said, "I will." Then lifted the nearly translucent veil and smiled at Bella. "Hello, Beautiful," I whispered. Her eyes began to mist again and she gripped my hand tightly. Again she blinked rapidly refusing to let any tears fall. When she successfully held them back she looked into my eyes again. I became wrapped in the warm, deep brown of her eyes. Then she grinned and winked at me. I was lost.

"Breathe," she whispered, her smile widening as she tried not to laugh at me. I took a deep breath and winked back at her. Her own breathing wasn't exactly regular. Together we turned to Emmett.

He had finally relaxed. Seeing Bella so utterly joyful had reminded him what a sweetheart she is. I had to agree with him.

He cleared his throat and spoke, his deep voice carrying across the crowd. "From the day Bella first fell into Edward's life, she's been turning it upside down." There were a few snickers. "He's gone from having his ways set in granite, to being putty in her hands," more snickers. Bella sneaked a glance at me. I smiled back at her. It was all true. "Much to the delight of his family and friends, she has molded him into a much better man than he once was. By setting him free of his old weight, she has given him wings to fly as we all well knew he could. By blessing Edward with her love, she has truly blessed us all."

Bella was blinking furiously again. I might have to talk to Alice about threatening the bride. Then Bella glanced at Alice and they suddenly both had to bite their lip to hold back the giggles. Alice was suddenly picturing Jasper in ways I shied away from. I would definitely have to ask Bella about it later.

"Today we gather to witness the solemnization of a bond that has always been, one that will be forever more. Edward and Bella have written their own vows for this most joyous occasion." He turned to look at me, "Edward." I smiled at Emmett as he took a deep breath and sighed, his part was done. Then I took Bella's other hand and we turned to face each other.

"Bella, you are my guiding light, my saving grace, my angel and my life," Bella was already blinking again. I smiled at her and tried to get from Alice what she had said to her, but Alice was thinking of Jasper again, at least this time the images were sweet instead of graphic. "Before you, I was nothing, with you I become something I never dreamed of." I let go of her left hand to take the ring from Jasper. Bella's heartbeat began to fly. "Isabella Marie Swan, with this ring I pledge to you my strength, my love, and my devotion. I will honor and cherish you for the rest of time." I slipped my mother's ring on her finger and kissed her hand. She squeezed my hands tightly, beaming at me.

"Bella," Emmett turned to her.

Bella took a deep breath. I still couldn't believe this was really happening. She is absolutely stunning.

"Edward, you are my North Star." she smiled at me and I went a little weak in the knees, "The bright shining light that guides me home in the darkness and banishes my nightmares. You are my guardian angel. Before you there was nothing. With you, I have everything." She smiled again as she took my ring from Alice. "Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, with this ring I pledge to you my heart, mind, body, and soul." My breath caught again, "I am yours forever." She slipped the ring on my finger. She laughed softly to find my hand was shaking. I had no idea how she had made it through without tears. I had only made it because I was a vampire. We turned back to Emmett, but didn't release each others hands.

"I thought you said you guys were keeping the vows a surprise from each other," he said.

"We did," I chuckled. I was pretty sure, in fact, that Bella hadn't written hers until last night.

"Wow, I guess you two really are the same kind of crazy," Emmett laughed. A few of the guests laughed as well.

"Emmett," Bella whispered, "man and wife."

"Oh! Right!" Emmett cried, "By the power invested in me," he said in his official voice, and in a whisper for only me and Bella, "by the Lil' Chapel of Love's Internet Ministry College," Bella laughed, I thrilled to the sound. "I now pronounce you Husband and Wife!" Emmett finished in his loud voice again. "You may kiss the bride."

I turned to Bella and was immediately lost in the love I saw shining in her eyes. She loves me, and only me, and now she's mine forever. "Ahem," Emmett whispered, "Kiss the bride!" That, I could do.

Putting one hand to her precious face, I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers. Her hand came up to my face as well. As our lips moved together, I could feel the love I had seen in her eyes. I drank it in, becoming intoxicated. I released her other hand to wrap my arm around her waist, bringing her to me. Her newly freed hand came to my neck, her other reaching up into my hair. My hand moved from her face to the back of her neck. I was lost in her; drowning and I planned on never coming up for air.

"Bro," Emmett whispered, "her parents are watching." I didn't care. I would never let her go again. "And I think she needs to breathe, man!" he hissed. Okay that I cared about.

I pulled away and Bella did indeed take a deep breath, smiling giddily. I'm sure I had the same look on my face. There were cheers and a few cat calls from the audience. Bella blushed deeply and I gently touched her crimson cheeks.

"Let's get this party started!" Emmett yelled and directed the guests down to the tents Alice had set up in our large back yard.

"You aren't going anywhere yet, Emmett," Alice grabbed him before he could escape. "We have pictures to take first."


AN- awwww! I know, so much cheese! But you know you love it! At least I hope you do. LOL, I knew everyone was annoyed by Mike, but goodness I didn't know how much! Don't worry, I still have great plans for him. 8P

By the way, being the Gemini with split personalities that I am, this is not the only way I see the wedding happening. This is how we all wish it would happen, which is what fanfic is for right? However, the realist, or cynic take your pick, in me knows that Bella and Edward are too star crossed to have such an idealistic day. So, I have another version of their wedding, one that doesn't go quite as smooth. I was originally going to post it as the same time as this one. Apparently the hopeless romantic personality is my dominant one, because as I wrote the other version, it just didn't feel right. It didn't seem true, if that makes any sense. I still got is more than half done, so if there are those other cynics out there who want to read it, maybe I'll finish it and post it as a one shot. Just don't blame me if it's not as good as some of my other writing. No, it doesn't involve Mike; it's something a little more serious than that.

Also for you cynics out there, who are worried there isn't enough conflict in this little story, remember that this is one little moment of their lives. Even Bella and Edward need a little bit of happiness before it all comes crashing down, don't they? I would go into that, but my author's note is already rivaling my chapter in length. That just isn't right. My bad. 8P
