Amelia's POV
The first thing that I heard was someone playing the piano version of Utada Hikaru's First Love. The perfect song. The backyard was packed with humans and vampires alike. Once my sisters left my line of vision to take their place, the most beautiful sight was before me. Emmett was standing there, dressed in a tux, arms behind his back, waiting for me. I could feel how nervous he was, but the feeling of his love for me overpowered the feeling of nervousness. The feelings that I felt, feelings that were shared between us, were true love. This is love. Real, true love. Emmett was my soul mate, as I was his, forever and always, until the world ends.
I walked forward, in time with the music. Before I knew it, I was standing side by side with my love. Alice took my bouquet of White Roses and Gold Goddess Lilies. Emmett took my hand in his. The Priest started reading off from the book, but I was not really paying attention. My attention was on the beautiful… God in front of me. Emmett was like my own personal Greek God. My own Ares. Beautiful but tough and strong. All I could do was stare into his glowing gold eyes. They were brighter than normal, but I could understand why. The nervousness had left him. All I could feel off him was pure love and happiness. Within minutes, which seemed like hours, it was time for the Vows.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the couple has decided to write their own Vows. Emmett, would you kindly start?" The Priest asked. Emmett 'cleared' his throat. The congregation of witnesses were quiet.
"Amelia, my love, what can I say to you that I haven't already said? What can I give you that I haven't already given? Is there anything of me that isn't yours already? My body, my mind, my heart, even my soul. Everything that is me belonged to you long before this, and it shall be yours long after this. I will follow you anywhere and everywhere you lead, hand in hand and heart and heart." He spoke. His words were full of sincerity and love. I tried to refrain myself from sobbing. It would look peculiar if I was up here sobbing but no tears in my eyes. There is only two things I wish I could change right now. The first being, I wish my family was here. My mother and father would be so proud. The second being, I wish I could cry. Everyone always cries at weddings but I cannot. Tears will not change this moment. This moment will be the best moment in my life, the past and the future.
"Now, Emmett, place the ring on Amelia's hand and repeat after me. With this ring." The Priest ordered. Emmett done as he was told and placed a traditional, gold band on my left ring finger and repeated the words.
"With this ring."
"I thee wed." The priest continued.
"I thee wed."
"And with all my love." Almost finished.
"And with all my love."
"I thee endow." The Priest finished.
"I thee endow." Emmett said, squeezing my hand. He had the biggest smile on his face. I would have never though Emmett would be one for crying, but this moment proved me wrong. He would be in tears if he could. I smiled, wanting nothing more than to kiss those longing lips. The Priest turned to me.
"Do you, Amelia Rose Styx, take this man, Emmett McCarty Cullen, to be your lawfully wedded husband? If so, answer 'I Do."
"I do." Emmett grinned at me.
"Amelia." The Priest said, directing his hand towards me. I took in a deep breath. Now or never.
"I, Amelia, choose you, Emmett, as my best friend, my love for life. I promise you my deepest love, my fullest devotion, my most tender care, through the pressures of the past and the uncertainties of the future, I promise to be faithful to you. I promise to love you, to commit to you, and support you. I pledge to respect your unique talents and abilities, to lend you strength for all of your dreams. You have shown me what love feels like and for that, I thank you. You are everything I need and at this moment, I know all of my prayers have been answered and that all of my dreams have come true. I praise God for you, Emmett; for all of your love and constant friendship. I know our love is heaven sent, and I promise to be here for ever and always. From this day forward, you shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home.
"Today, as I give myself to you, my mind is clear and my commitment is strong and without reservation. I take you to be my life's partner. I will never leave you nor forsake you; I will spend all my days at your side. We will share a lifetime of eternal, immeasurable love. As I have given you my hand to hold, I give you my life to keep." I finished up. All I could do was smile at Emmett, that's all I could do to keep the sobs from exiting. Emmett had the most adorable smile on his face. A smile full of love and compassion. A smile I will always cherish.
"Amelia, place the ring on Emmett's hand and repeat after me. With this ring." The Priest said, his voice softer than before. I did not hear the quiet crying from the guest that were seated in front of us. It was just Emmett and me, forever. I placed the large, gold band on Emmett's left ring finger, just as he done to me.
"With this ring." My voice was a few octaves higher than it was before.
"I thee wed." The Priest continued, looking at us.
"I thee wed." The loving aura that was between us got brighter. I could feel the love growing stronger.
"And with all my love." The Priest said. I could feel the happiness in his voice. He loved seeing others happy.
"And with all my love." I said, putting an emphasis on all. I had so much love for Emmett. These words could never express how much.
"I thee endow." The Priest finished, his words stronger than before. Almost there. Three more words, Mia.
"I thee endow." I heard my voice crack. Emmett's smile grew even larger, if that was possible. I could see him restraining himself from tackling me.
"Do you, Emmett McCarty Cullen, take this woman, Amelia Rose Styx, to be your lawfully wedded wife? I so, answer 'I Do.'" I waited in anticipation for Emmett's answer.
"I do." He said, his voice booming. I could see my brother's and father behind him, laughing. I smiled at them before returning my attention back to Emmett.
"If there be anyone present who may show just and lawful cause why this couple may not be legally wed, let him speak now or forever hold his peace." The Priest spoke to the crowd. I could feel the rage flash in my eyes. I would kill anyone who dare speak against this. Emmett squeeze my hand, reassuring me. I smiled lightly at him.
"By the power vested in me by God and the State of Washington, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Finally, you may now kiss the bride." Emmett was already there by the time the Priest got out the last words. His lips were attached to mine. Ice on ice, but so warm. This kiss was full of all the love and passion we had for each other. Even though it was just a simple kiss, it held so much emotion in it. I felt it more because of my ability, but I know Emmett felt just as much. And I know Jasper felt it. I could hear him cursing me in my mind. I giggled a little as I pulled away. Emmett smiled down at me before grabbing my hand and turning us toward the crowd. He threw our hands in the air. Everyone laughed as the stood and cheered. This was the best moment in my existence. I know I've said that before, but none of those moments could add up to this one. I turned towards Emmett and pulled him into a kiss.
"I love you." I whispered as I pulled away. He grinned at me before pulling me into another kiss.
"Mmm, I love you more." He said, challenging me. I just giggled and pulled him down the long carpet. Now, the reception must start.
