fChapter 7
"What?"
I was absolutely insane. "Marry me right now."
He wasn't catching on. "How?"
"Why don't we elope?" I suggested.
He smiled wider. "That's how you want to get married?" he asked as if to make sure. It sounded like he was considering it. I wanted to elope. I never imagined myself in the white dress and veil. Maybe I just wasn't that kind of girl. I imagined myself getting married to him but never the fairytale wedding. An elopement seemed perfect for me.
"Yeah that's exactly how I want to get married. I don't want a white dress and roses everywhere. I want to marry you but I don't want to be traditional. We've never been traditional."
He laughed. "If you want to then let's do it. I don't care for the white dress fairytale wedding either." We had completely forgotten that my parents were in the same room.
"Dad?" I asked cautiously.
He smiled to my surprise. "Alice is out hunting, go before she comes back. I can't wait to see the look on her face." He chuckled.
My parents were taking this well. My mom smiled. "Only if I get to come."
"Fine whoever is home can come." I said.
"There's a wedding chapel in downtown Portland." Jacob said. "I saw it a couple days ago."
"10 minutes. No dresses no flowers and one camera." I announced. This was crazy but I liked crazy this was a dream wedding for me. It was outside the box and everyone knows I've never been inside the box, why now?
I walked over to our place. "You're serious about this?" Jacob asked.
"Yes. Why not? I mean really I've never been normal and I don't care to start now. I want to elope, do you?"
He laughed. "I never pictured myself in a tux getting married. I never saw myself having a traditional wedding. Now I know why, let's do this. Parents might change their mind."
"I know." I went into the closet and launched a pair of jeans and a black polo out to him. I picked out dark denim flare jeans and a silver black Hollister shirt, the one I never wore. It was the only shirt of its kind I owned just because of the fact that everyone wore it and I saw no point you were basically paying to advertise their store. I decided I should wear it today. I slid on a pair of silver flats.
I walked back out to bedroom to find a freshly clothed fiancée. "Alice is going to kill me."
"I sure am!" a dark haired pixie stormed into the bedroom.
Jacob and I couldn't contain our laughter. "Wanna come?"
"You're not going to let me plan your wedding?" She was taken aback.
"Nope I love you Alice I really do but I want to get married this way. I'm not that kind of girl, this day will be so much more memorable."
She crossed her arms and shifted her weight to one leg. "I won't forgive you."
"Yes you will, but you won't forgive yourself if you don't come. You can stay if you like." I offered.
"I won't forget this." She threatened.
I giggled. "I won't either, that's the whole point" I walked around her to the mirror.
She sighed. "Fine! Let me do your make up, at the very least."
"You have 5 minutes." I smiled.
Her brow arched. "I can do it in two." She wasn't lying either. She was finished in exactly 2 minutes. "Nessie." She whined.
I shook my head. "Alice no."
"Fine. But I get to give you a wedding present right now."
"O...Okay." I said unsure about what she was talking about.
She disappeared out the door and seconds later she returned. "Jasper and I bought a while back in Rio. He picked it out just for you two." She handed Jacob a small black box.
He tilted it for me to see it. It was a white gold ring and a wedding band. The ring had an average sized diamond and studded with smaller ones. The band was studded with small diamonds. "I can't see your future but I can take a guess. They're engraved." I picked up the ring and inside it read Forever & Always.
"Alice, how……why?" I asked amazed.
"Nessie you are like my daughter the one I never had, you don't only have Bella. You have Esme Rose and me. Jasper Emmett and Carlisle love you as their own as well. Heck we've warmed to Jacob too." It was a touching thing to say pun included. "We figured one day you'd need it and we were right."
I gave her a big hug. "Thank you."
"I appreciate it Alice." Jacob said. Being the loving person she is she gave him a hug. Jacob has been closest to Alice out of the whole family.
"I may like you but you still don't smell so hot." She giggled.
"Dido." He replied.
We walked back into the living room where the whole family had gathered. "I don't think an eloping has so many guests." I laughed and soon everyone joined in. Everyone was dressed formal casual.
Rose, looking as dashing as always in a pair of white-washed skinny jeans, heels and a white top, came over to us. "Well dog you've done it alright. I hope you're happy."
"I assure you I am."
"Woof."
"Lip stick's smeared." He replied.
"You're kidding right?" she asked. Everyone laughed. On the way out she checked out her reflection on the glass portion of the front door.
I wasn't the only who caught that. "Shallow, I knew you'd do it."
"Mhmm." Was all she said.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"I'm completely sure about this, mom." I assured her when we arrived.
She sighed. "You really want to elope?" She asked almost to make sure.
"Yes, I do. It was my idea. Mom you trust me, right?"
"Yes."
Everyone pulled into the parking lot as I got out of the car. My mom and dad insisted we go with them. I'm sure having your whole family there breaks all the elopement rules. I held Jacob's hand as we waited in the entrance of the 'church'. The sign read open until midnight for your marriage needs. It was a nice looking place. I think it was a former Church but then the city began to build around it and it became a place to elope.
Once everyone was out of the car I walked in beside Jacob. There was a receptionist waiting just as we walked in.
"Hello." She said with a red pen tip in her mouth. She looked Jacob up and down, ugh like she didn't know what we were here for. Behind us she spotted the rest of my family file in. Her attention shifted to my dad and uncles. "Are all of you getting married?"
"No just me and him." I clarified.
"Alright it'll be a sec, he's finishing up a couple. Meanwhile how bout you give your names."
"Renesmee Cullen."
"Huh…sorry how is that spelled."
"R-e-n-e-s-m-e-e Cullen."
"Interesting." She said under breath. "You?"
"Jacob Black."
When she finished taking the rest of our information the chapel doors opened. Out came a young couple no more than 18 each. Both teens just about skipped out of the doors. "Busy night." The man said as he saw us all in the foyer. He was dressed in a black suit, he was a middle aged man about 40.
"Nah, it's just them two." The girl clarified.
"This is new, not many people bring their entire family to an elopement."
I wasn't paying too much attention but my dad moved to the front desk and paid inconspicuously. I let it go.
"Come in….everyone."
It was the usual questions and the usual promises. We winged the vows and they came out beautifully. We leaned down and we each signed the paper. Jacob slid the beautiful white gold ring into place as I did his.
"By the power vested in me by Oregon State I now –"The man was cut off
"I object!"
Now who might that be?
I'm sorry if everyone didn't like the elopement I liked it, I actually never myself imagined writing a fairytale wedding for them. If you're upset feel free to type your heart out in a review.
-toodles.
