MARRIAGE

Carlisle Placed His King Next To My Knight.

"I Shall Ask Esme To Wed Me Tonight…But How? When?..."

I Interrupted His Thoughts, "Perhaps Take Her Hunting And Surprise Her With A Ring And Your Question?"

"But What Can I Do With Her To Keep Her Entertained?" "Watch The Sunset? Bird-Watch?"

"Brilliant, Edward! I Will Do Just That!" "Here Whenever You Need Me Carlisle." Carlisle Sighed As I Beat Him In Chess. "I'll Never Check-Mate You, Edward." I Chuckled As He Said This. "May I See The Ring, Carlisle?" "You May." Esme Was On A Hunting Expedition. Carlisle Opened His Box, Revealing A Beautiful, Sterling Silver Encrusted Band With A Crown On Top, A Sapphire Stuffed In The Center, With Esme & Carlisle Engraved In The Sapphire, The Engravement Filled With Diamond. I Stared In Awe. "What Happened To Gold And Normal Diamond?" "I Want It To Be Special." "Will She Like It?" "Of Course, Carlisle, She Will Adore It!"

Esme Came Back At Approximately 4:52 AM. When She Entered She Smiled Her Dimplish Smile And Said, "Hello." I Noticed Her Amber Eyes And Glowered At She. "Esme, Who Have You Drunk From?" "Oh, Just A Group Of Hikers, No Trouble." "Esme, This Is Wrong, You Know You Must Not Drink From Humans. I Am Ashamed Of You." "Please Forgive Me This Once, Carlisle, Edward; I Could Not Control My Thirst."

She Looked At Us With Puppy Eyes And I Said," Fine, Esme, But I Will Never Forgive You Again If You Lose Control." Carlisle Glanced At Me, Then Esme. "As Do I, Esme." She Once Again Smiled When I Heard Carlisle's Thoughts: "Now, Edward? Do I Take Her Hunting?" I Nodded.

"Come, Esme. Let Us Hunt." "Oh My God, He's So…Beautiful. I Believe I Have Found My Mate. But How Will He Be Mine?" I Smiled As Esme Thought This. They Were Made For Each Other. I Strolled To The Piano, And Began To Play The Bridal March. I Can Not Wait For Carlisle & Esme's Marriage. I Was Interrupted By The Horrible Pain Of Thirst. I Burst Through The Entry-Way, Running Into The Forest, I Met Up With A Human, Not Too Old, But I Could Not Resist The Urge To Drink Her. I Sauntered Towards My Prey, Ready To Kill Her. I Lunged Towards Her Throat At Inhumane Speed, And Bit Her, Drinking The Impossibly Sweet-Tasting Fluid.

I Released A Low Cackle, Remembering Her Fluid. Her Body Was In My Hands, Dry, Pale, Life-Less. Carlisle Would Be Ashamed Of Me. But Who Gives A Damn.

Carlisle And Esme Walked In, Holding Hands, And Esme Wearing Her Engagement Ring. Esme Was Smiling, Her Thoughts Full Of Happiness & Repetitive Screams. "Edward, Esme And I Are Wedding Each Other." I Smiled. "And Esme Wants You To Be My Best Man." "I'd Be Honored, Carlisle." Esme Chuckled. "Carlisle And I Will Wed August Eighth." "In Two Months."

"That's Great, Carlisle, Esme."

TWO MONTHS LATER

We Were In The Forest. It Was Even More Beautiful Through Vampire Eyes, You Could See Every Little Dust Particle, And The Tiniest Of Flowers. I Was Next To Carlisle, Playing The Bridal March In D. Esme Was Proceeding Down Her Aisle, Her Orange Gown Flowing Gracefully Behind Her, Esme's Veil Covered Her Face, And Her Gown Perfectly Hugged Her Body. She Was Now Under The Lilac Arch With Carlisle, As He Said His Vows:

"Many people spend their lives searching for their soul-mate, their one true love. Some people are lucky to find the person they can truly call the better half of themselves, while others spend the rest of their lives searching and never finding. I am happy to count myself among the lucky ones, because I certainly found you.

I love you, Esme Anne Platt Evenson. I know that you are the only one for me, my one true love. I am happy and I am grateful that you came into my life, that where others have spent their entire lives looking for the one, I have found you. And now that I have found you, I shall never let you go. I promise you, Esme, that I shall hold you and cherish you and give you my heart, that I shall support you and care for you. Faithfully, I shall always stand steadfast at your side with your hand in mine, regardless of what existence would bring to us. I take you now as my wife, and I shall remain so for the rest of my existence."

It Was Esme's Turn:

"In your eyes, I have found my home.
In your heart, I have found my love.
In your soul, I have found my mate.
With you, I am whole, full, alive.
You make me laugh. You let me cry.
You are my breath, my every heartbeat.
I am yours.
You are mine.
Of this we are certain.
You are lodged in my heart.
The small key is lost.
You must stay there forever."

They Kissed, And Carlisle And Esme Were Now Husband And Wife.
