Author's Note: Okay people of this is the big wedding do-over. And I know I'm kinda spoiling some parts in the chapter by saying this, but I had some trouble with the vows. So let me know if I screwed them up. I'm so proud of myself for this chapter though. Oh, and the song that is used in this chapter is "I Loved Her First" by Heartland. And now for your reading pleasure, I present to you...chapter seven.

Disclaimer: Do I look like Stephenie Meyer? I didn't think so. I don't own any part of the best book series in the universe EVER nor do I own the Heartland song. Nor do I want to own the Heartland song. Yeah.

Alice started off towards the wedding venue while Edward and I followed. As we walked away from the Cullen mansion, a loud crashing noise came from the house. I gasped at the uproar and turned around to see a russet tail snaking around the other side of the house. Sigh. I hated hurting him so much, but… No. I would not think of Jacob Black any longer on my wedding day. This day was strictly for me and Edward. "We'll probably have some furniture to replace," Edward sighed passively.

I said nothing, but laughed halfheartedly to myself. Jacob probably had broken something when he phased. The Cullen living room was only so big. Edward, Alice, and I parted then. He went to go wait by the altar and she went to make sure everything was perfect, again, while I met Charlie at the first golden archway, again. "Hey Bells," he greeted me warmly.

"Hey Ch-dad," I smiled back.

He looked down at his shoes, unsure of what to say after the big fiasco. I understood. I didn't really know what to say either. Jacob had caught everyone so off guard. "Bells, I-I'm sorry…'bout what Jake did," he stuttered awkwardly.

"S'okay," I mumbled back. "We talked…"

Charlie nodded his head in understanding, and, thankfully, the music started up, again. Da da da dum, da da da dum. I couldn't suppress the butterflies that now flew inside my stomach. I couldn't hold back the excitement I felt. As Charlie and I hooked arms, I beamed with the brightest smile I could manage without my cheeks hurting. We walked forward, arm in arm, down the shimmery carpet and I smiled even bigger (if that were possible) as I saw my own personal Greek god in front of me.

I smiled Bella's favorite "crooked smile" as she appeared from the side of the house with her father. She was smiling as bright as my skin in the sunlight as she walked towards me, stumbling on her heels slightly. I laughed inwardly to myself at her clumsiness. She looked more lovely than ever, if that were even possible. She was wearing the most beautiful dress. It was white and sleeveless, with antique lace detail on the bodice. The neckline ended below the collarbone, plunging in a deep U-shape. It hugged her upper body, then flowed out slightly at the hips, ending mid-calf. (Sorry, I couldn't remember what the actual dress looked like and was too lazy to get the book from my bookcase and look it up. Hopefully I didn't screw it up too bad.)

Paired with it were tall, silver heels, which matched the silver barrettes in her hair. Her long, curled brunette hair swirled around her heart-shaped face in the breeze, making her even more dazzling. I could hear her heartbeat accelerate with each step as she got closer to me. I smiled again and she returned it warmly. She was five steps away, thump, four steps away, thump, three, thump, thump, two, thump thump thump, one, thump thump thump thump thump. Finally, she was with me. Charlie nodded kindly at me as he released her arm and sat in the front row on the bride's side. I took her hand as she stepped up to me at the altar and the priest began, again.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate this momentous occasion in which we join these two people together in holy matrimony. If there is anyone who believes that these two people should not be wed, please speak now or forever hold your peace."

I waited nervously with bated breath, hoping no other interruptions would come. Then I remember that Jacob had left, and that dimmed my anxiousness a little. The priest started speaking again. "Edward, it is my understanding that you and Bella wish to exchange your own vows."

He nodded, then looked back at me. His liquid gold eyes gazed intently into my muddy brown ones and I felt love radiate from him. I smiled. Jeez, I couldn't stop doing that today. He smiled back and started to talk. "Isabella Swan, I love you with everything I have. I give myself, surely and completely, to you. You are my one and only true love, the reason for my existence. Before you came into my life, I was a hard, lonely, empty shell. I was simply in the world, not having purpose or meaning. But you brought me out of my darkness and filled me with more happiness than I ever thought possible. With you, I am whole. I'm here for one sole reason: to be with you. I love you, Bella. You've captured my heart, and it is yours. Now and forever."

He slipped the beautiful gold wedding band on my ring finger. Set in it were three diamonds; one sparkled in the center while two small, heart-shaped ones twinkled on either side of it. I gasped at its beauty as Edward kissed my hand. Tears of happiness welled up in my eyes. I couldn't keep a few from spilling over and running down my cheeks. I had never heard anything so amazing in my life. Not even Charlie's earlier supportive speech could top that. Edward and I just looked at each other for a moment, caught up in the moment. We were brought back to reality when the priest quietly cleared his throat, signaling me to continue with the ceremony. I choked back the tears so my voice wouldn't break during my speech. I stared as hard as I could into Edward's eyes while I began speaking. "Edward Cullen, I've got your heart and have no intention of giving it back." The audience laughed a little and Edward smiled at my statement before I continued. "You've comforted me in my darkest hours and been the cause of my happiest ones. You complete me. You are my true other half, and I, too, give myself to you completely." I emphasized completely. "I never even thought a love so strong was possible. But I get proof every time I look into your eyes. I could never love someone as strong or as much as I love you now. I choose you, Edward, and I want to spend the rest of eternity with you. You have my heart, my soul, and my love. Now and forever."

I took his hand as well, slipping the thick gold band on his ring finger. I simply smiled at him and held his hand in mine, never wanting to let go. "Then, by the power vested in me by the state of Washington, I now pronounce you husband and wife," the priest said. "Edward, you may kiss the bride."

Edward pulled me closer to him and wrapped his hands around my waist. I did the same, wrapping mine around his neck. His cold lips melted into mine as the as the audience erupted with claps and "Awwwww's". We pulled apart and held hands, intertwining our fingers together. The priest continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen."

I turned to look at Edward. "Bella Cullen," I stated quietly, "I like the sound of that."

Edward smiled at my comment, and I did the same. "I like the sound of it too," he said.

We walked hand in hand down the aisle, waving and smiling at all the guests who were now cheering enthusiastically for us. Edward led me to our table. Although all the tables had flowers on them, our table had a large vase filled to the brim with red and white roses and pink petals were spread all along the black tablecloth. We sat down while Alice rounded up the guests to their proper place among the reception. All the white chairs were cleared out and the white carpet was taken away, probably to make room for a dance floor. I turned my attention to Edward, only to find him looking at me intently, his chin resting in his hands. "You know, love," he said, "you look lovely in the candlelight."

I blushed and looked absentmindedly at one of the candles perched precariously in the tree behind our table. Edward fiddled with my hair and stroked my cheek. Suddenly, Alice's soprano voice boomed through the speakers that were set up, amplified from the tiny microphone she held. She waited for the crowd to be silent before saying, "It's now time for the father-daughter dance, so will Charlie and Bella please step forward." She motioned with her hand for us to walk to the dance floor. I looked at Edward anxiously; I knew I would have to dance, but I thought it would be in the safe arms of my new husband. Not in the clumsy ones of my dad. I hadn't even thought about the father-daughter dance. He gave me an encouraging smile and darted his eyes towards the dance floor, where a waiting Charlie was looking at me expectantly. I walked forward slowly onto the grassy dance floor. Charlie grinned slightly, but I saw the nervousness in his eyes too. I didn't inherit my clumsiness from my mother. As I met him he put his large hands around my waist and I put mine on his broad shoulders. The music started up and I gasped as I heard the lyrics.

Look at the two of you,

Dancing that way,

Lost in the moment

And each other's face,

So much love

Your alone in this place,

Like there's nobody else in the world.

Charlie and I moved back and forth, side to side, twirling around and around to the music. My heels, surprisingly, didn't get stuck in the grass. Yet.

I was enough for her not long ago,

I was her number one

She told me so,

And she still means the world to me,

Just so you know,

So be careful when you hold my girl.

Charlie smiled sheepishly as the song went on and we kept dancing.

Time changes everything

Life must go one,

And I'm not gonna stand in your way.

But I loved her first,

I held her first,

And a place in my heart will always be hers.

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me,

I knew the love of a father runs deep.

And I prayed that she'd find you one day,

But it's still hard to give her away,

I loved her first.

I couldn't help the tears that spilled from my eyes as the song went on. I was so happy, but so sad. This would be one of the last memories I'd ever have with Charlie. How could I leave my father alone, crushing him so badly when I "disappeared"? How could I do that to him? I looked up at him to see a worried look on his face, and I smiled reassuringly at him to let him know they were tears of joy. Mostly.

How could this beautiful woman with you

Be the same freckle-faced kid that I knew,

The one that I read all those fairy tales to

And tucked into bed all those nights,

And I knew the first time I saw you with her,

It was only a matter of time.

But I loved her first

And I held her first,

And a place in my heart will always be hers,

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me,

I knew the love of a father runs deep.

And I prayed that she'd find you one day,

But it's still hard to give her away,

I loved her first.

The song was coming to a close and Charlie gave me one final dip and twirl as the song ended.

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me,

I knew the love of a father runs deep.

Someday you might know what I'm going through,

When a miracle smiles up at you,

I loved her first.

I smiled happily and hugged Charlie as hard as I could. "Uh, Bells," he struggled to say.

I pulled away and he inhaled sharply. "Sorry dad."

He nodded, letting me know it was okay. Then I felt two cold arms lock around my waist and Edward's chin resting on my shoulder. "Is it okay if I take over now, Charlie?"

"Take good care of her, Edward. She's my only little girl."

I turned my head to look at Edward's face as he spoke to Charlie. "I will sir." He looked at me then, "I promise."

Charlie walked off the dance floor and Edward spun me around to face him. His topaz eyes sparkled while Alice's voice echoed, "Now, it's time for the first dance of the bride and groom as a married couple."

The music started and the sound of my lullaby filled the backyard. All I could do was look into Edward's eyes as he lifted me slightly off the ground and spun me around and around. I rested my head on his shoulder as he hummed along with the lullaby. Although I knew all eyes were on us, Edward was the only one who existed right now. He leaned down and whispered into my ear, his cool breath tickling, "I love you, Mrs. Cullen."

"I love you too, Mr. Cullen," I replied as I hugged myself closer to him. He gently kissed my hair as we kept whirling and spinning. The song ended all too soon and Edward let go of me, setting me back down on the ground and holding only hand as we walked back to the table. Angela and Ben, Renee and Phil, and all the other couples crowded the dance floor as new songs played. I sighed and watched, contentedly sitting with Edward as he held my hand.

Please review! Npw! I love you...(begging tone)
