The wedding day!

The big day was on its way, Bella was nervous, she could hardly believe how much time had passed; the move with Renee was only slightly challenging, finding the house was the easy part, the realator just so happened to be someone she knew from high school, the packing and sorting was another story. Bella's parents really did do what they could for their grown up daughter, they may have seemed happy for her but she knew deep down her mother would never really approve of Renee being with her.

Alice helped Bella find her dress, she insisted on getting her one that wasn't too flashy but still made a good impression, "I don't know if I like being the center of attention" Bella told her as she was trying on her dress in the store."

"Well, it is your big day" said Alice, looking at Bella in the mirror.

"It's not just my big day" Bella reminded her.

"Well, yes of course."

"Did you see Renee's dress?"

"Yup" Alice said while she adjusted the bottom of Bella's dress.

"How does it look? It's better than mine, right?" she asked worried.

"I'm not saying, you'll just have to wait, besides you should know the tradition" Alice wondered if the same applied for a wedding such as this if either woman saw the dress it would be bad luck, "Why would you worry if yours is better?"

"I don't know, I just think she deserves better" Bella frowned.

"Bella, she married once before, you haven't, she looked great. Now it's your turn" she said, handing her some red roses to pose for pictures.

Meanwhile, Renee was having similar concerns about the nuptials, wondering if they were rushing into it too fast, perhaps hold it off for another couple months. Two of Renee's friends from high school were there to give her the confidence she needed.

"You're worrying way too much about this" her friend Janet said as they were working on the last of the invitations.

"Maybe I am, but I need to think about these things. I just want to know that I'm not pushing her into this."

"She said yes. She adores you" said Renee's friend Gloria.

"But her parents, I'm not sure but I think they'll do something to make sure this day doesn't happen."

"We can always take some precautions" Janet said putting her hands on Renee's shoulders.

"Such as?", Janet gave her a look that seemed diabolical, "Bella wants them both there, they made up, everything is fine between them. She wouldn't just turn them away."

"Still, this must be awkward, you were already married to Charlie and now you're marrying his daughter" Gloria exclaimed; she was stopped by a glare from Janet, telling her to shut it.

"I know how it looks, ok. I mean I can't blame them for hating me, I knew it was strange from the moment our relationship started but I knew I had to be there with her, it just felt right."

"Have you talked to them?" asked Janet.

"I haven't talked to either of them since the day they kicked Bella out."

"Talk to Bella, she'll be honest with you if this is the right time and if those two even try to ruin this for either of you they'll have to deal with me" Janet told her straightly.

Of course Bella had no idea if her parents would sabotage them, it seemed unlikely they would try anything that could potentially embarass her and both of them.

The one thing Bella was considering was maybe having the wedding small and not in a church, but by the time she had these thoughts it was too late and enough money was already being spent.

On the big day she was being driven in a white limo, as if she was being taken to the prom she never had; it stopped in front of the church where her parents were waiting. Charlie opened her door and helped her out; he wanted to give her some last minute fatherly advice, her mother did as well except hers was an attempt to persuade her to change her mind about the nuptials.

"Bella, it's okay if you are having second thoughts. Just remember, if anything about this seems wrong in any way no one will judge you."

Bella was in no mood to back off now, she committed to Renee and this was going to seal that deal, nothing was going to stop her now.

She walked inside, everyone was looking at her from their seats, her stomach was in knots, she was really hoping she wouldn't trip and fall. She kept looking forward and saw Renee, she looked so beautiful, her dress was easily better than hers; the dress wasn't too flashy, just the right look for a woman like her, it showed off her curves in a classy way, when Bella got closer she saw the amount of cleavage exposed.

"That's for me" she thought to herself with a smile. She stood next to her, took a deep breath and waited for the priest to proceed.

They spoke their vows, Bella could feel tears forming in the corner of her eyes as Renee promised to cherish her, Alice and Jessica noticed. Saying 'I do' was the biggest relief, it was all almost over and they could move on to the reception.

"I do" Bella said, feeling like she was going to stutter; the two shared a brief, closed mouth kiss and were awarded with applause. Bella's knots were gone and now she had the honeymoon to look forward.

Honeymoon chapter soon!
