We arrived at the Cullen house moments later; Alice was already inside waiting for us.
"Bella!" she screamed and then engulfed me in a crushing hug.
"Uh, hi Alice," I chocked, out of air.
"I take it Edward has already told you what we're doing today; they'll be here in ten minutes."
"Okay so we're tasting some of the food today, right?" I asked.
"Well not we, since it all tastes the same bad flavor for us, you'll be doing the tasting."
--Later--
Three hours later I was more full than I would have thought possible. Alice had outdone her normal excessiveness. There were eight different entrees, six different hor'dourves, three soups, three salads, and I had to try them all. Alice, being Alice, insisted we choose our cake today too.
Choosing the design was easy enough, Edward and I decided on a simple three tier wedding cake, much to Alice's dismay, who had her heart set on an ornate six tiered cake with a different flavor cake on each tier. Alice suggested choosing the flavor today as well; I agreed but soon regretted it when she force fed me samples of thirty cakes. I decided on a vanilla cream cake with a whipped butter cream icing layer in the middle. Since our wedding colors are silver and pale blue the flowers would be too.
Finally, feeling stressed and uncomfortably full, Alice left a smiling Edward and a steamed me alone. I groaned.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"So. Much. Food. Alice is taking this way too far. When will the torture-I mean-planning end? I don't know if I can take anymore!"
With my rant over, I tried to gauge Edward's reaction, it surprised me. He was smirking.
"Well you did know Alice before you gave her full rein. But-" he paused, and his smirk grew more pronounced, "-This can be over sooner if you want. Vegas isn't really that far, not with the way I drive," he smiled.
Just as I was about to say how appealing his offer was, we heard a shrieking Alice upstairs. "Bella wouldn't do that to me!" I sighed.
"She's right, as wonderful, as that offer sounds right now," and it was, very tempting. "This is something we need to do."
"I want to Bella, but if you're only doing this for me or for Alice, not because you really want to, then maybe Vegas would be better. You could be a vampire sooner," he teased.
"Unfortunately, bribery won't change my mind. I admit a big wedding at eighteen wasn't exactly what I expected, but, I want to do this right. I have to give Renee and Charlie a proper goodbye. I'm just a little overwhelmed."
He still seemed hopeful, but he changed the subject. "I should probably warn you though. She wants to throw you a bridal shower/bachelorette party."
An overly enthusiastic yell came from upstairs "It will be great Bella!"
"I guess I don't really have a choice. She'll see to it I have a good time, if it's the last thing she does," I muttered.
He laughed. "That's about right actually. But don't worry, from what thought she's put into it, it sounds like a lot of fun," he assured me.
"I'll try to have fun, but you know me and parties don't mix very well."
Oops, I didn't mean to bring up my disastrous eighteenth birthday party. I had meant there would be a fairly large audience if (when) I embarrassed myself. Which I was sure to, being a klutz of my magnitude.
He frowned and looked sullen.
"I didn't mean-" I began.
"I know," he sighed and kissed my forehead. "You'll have fun, but, if Alice goes way overboard and you are truly miserable, I'm just a call away."
