Chapter 7: Wedding Bells
For the first time in a long time I felt beautiful as I saw myself in the full length mirror. My big round eyes stood out with glittery silver eyeliner, my high cheekbones were layered with foundation as well as my sharp nose, my small lips gleamed with dark red lipstick and my dark hair simply rested at my shoulders. I twirled round to get a good look of the long, elegant white dress I was wearing for the wedding. The dress was a creamy white with a large line of intricate red sequences at the waist made to look like a belt. The dress was sleeveless therefore delicate straps with studded red stones were used. This was a dress you could do anything in!
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" asked Alice puzzled.
She had seen the tear that leaked out. I quickly wiped it a way and said "No, I love it! It's just... I've never actually worn a dress before but this..." I was speechless.
"As long as you like it Taz you only get on chance to make a first impression and all that so you might as well do it in style!" Renessme encouraged.
Both of them had kidnapped me from my room at the crack of dawn to get me ready, for Sam's wedding, I wasn't too happy about it at first but it wasn't that bad and it was worth it in the end. They looked amazing as well, Alice was wearing a long silky white dress with a low neck and it was sleeveless so the shoulders were bunched together. Renessme was wearing a shorter version with a high round neck line but at the back the dress hung loose to expose a bit of skin.
The three of us headed out to meet the others downstairs but both Renessme and Alice had a strong sense of urgency that you couldn't miss they were looking out for something... but what?
"There still here!" Alice whispered.
"We're never going to make it..." Renessme replied disappointed.
"Am I missing something?" I whispered back.
"We'll explain in the car, just follow use." Alice replied with a wink.
We were at the top of the staircase and Jacob held the front door open giving us a thumbs up to signal that it's clear.
"We're almost there!" Alice whispered excitedly.
With that we all sprinted for the front door but we weren't quick enough there was a flash of colour and before us stood Edward, Bella and Rosalie. Blocking the door, shoulder to shoulder arms cross dead serious...
"That makes it 168 to the parents and still 0 to the kids but hay whose keeping score?" Emmet said with a laugh.
"Very funny!" Alice said with a glare.
"Alice you're spoiling her, ever since she was a baby the things you made her wear. Rose has seen sense when will you? No wonder she dresses this way now, I can't believe you're encouraging her. And Renessme how many times do we have to do this when will you take some responsibility? What do you think you granddad would say?" Bella fumed in full parental mode.
"Oh come on Bella don't you think your over reacting." Jacob interrupted.
"I am not over reacting besides this has nothing to with you. Whatever she asks, you do it you're worse than Alice." Bella replied to Jacob.
"Look at her she looks amazing and so pretty. Carlise help me here." Alice pleaded.
"Please don't drag me in to this again." Carlise replied.
"Rose tell her! Look at it for yourself." Alice tried.
"Well I guess is not that bad, it's not full length but it's not too short either..." Rosalie replied examining Renessme.
"I'm not buying it turn around." Edward interrupted.
"Ok who spilled?" Alice asked angrily she looked around the room.
Behind us was Esme, who stood silently overlooking the whole scene.
"Esme! How could you?" Alice asked hurt.
"I'm sorry but it has to be done if we ever want to make it outside the house on time." Esme replied looking guilty.
"Let me have a look." Bella said suspiciously with her eyes narrowed.
Defeated Renessme turned round and Bella gasped she then said "You march up those stairs and you get changed right this minute Renessme."
"We don't have enough time we have to get out right now. Just leave Nessie how she is, she looks beautiful." Jacob said with a smile.
"You stay out of this!" Bella snapped back.
"Let's all clam down can't Renessme just wear a cardigan?" I said pointing to the coat hanger.
She ran over and picked a loose white cardigan.
"It matches! Let's go!" Renessme quickly said and ran out with Jacob.
"Come on guys we don't have any more time I don't what to be late to my own brother's wedding." I pleaded to the others.
"Well I guess it will have to do." Bella said giving up.
We all got out of the house and into the cars while Alice grumbled "She is taking that of as soon as she gets there."
We reached the venue just in time it was the beach, La Push, and it looked amazing. There was huge white tent set up on half the beach with white ribbons, bows and fairy lights hanging from it. On the other half was the aisle with rows of seats facing the sea and at the front there was a high plat form just between the sea and sand. It was perfect.
We took our seats at the back which I didn't mind right now I just wanted to be a face among the crowd. Jacob was the best man so he was off getting everything organised as soon as we stopped the car.
A few minutes later the music started playing dum, dumm, daa, dummm... Jacob and Sam walked down the aisle in time to the music. Sam was tall but Jacob was taller, he was muscular so his suit stretched a bit and he had jet black hair the exact same shade as his eyes. He looked nervous well it was his wedding day but other than that he looked really happy. They took their places on the plat form.
After a few seconds pause the bride came in she looked stunning in her snow white dress which elegantly flowed down the aisle as she gracefully glided through. Her eyes were fixed on Sam's as they filled with tears. A single tear drop ran from her eyes down to her cheek. It was then that I noticed the scar that ripped right across her cheek. How did that happen? How could that happen to someone like her?
She reached the platform where Sam took her hands in his and the wedding vows were said. Sam and Emily said their "I dos" and kissed. Just seeing them together hand in hand told me that they were both made for each other and I wished them all the happiness in the world.
