Chapter 9:

EDWARD'S POINT OF VIEW:

I pased out on the couch around 11 last night. Drinking helped put me to sleep, but I woke up with a pounding headache. Atleast I remembered what went down last night. I sat up very quickly after getting cold water dumped on my head.

"What the heck?!?" I yelled at Jasper and Emmett's amused faces.

"Look it is 11 right now and you have to get married at 4. Remember?" Emmett said.

"Of course I remember! Now get me some coffee and advil. Why did you let me drink so much Jasper?" I asked.

"Okay Miss Cullen I will get right on that," he said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes. "And I let you drink because it didn't matter. I was driving and you had all day to sleep."

"Not all day. I have to pick up the tuxe's at my appartment. I am going to walk over there now. Do you guys want to just get ready there?" I said.

They both nodded and I got a call from Alice.

"What?" I answered.

"Hello happy groom! Why are you so grumpy? Did you seriously JUST wake up?!?!" she screamed.

"Lower your voice," I groaned.

"If you are not sobered up when I get there around 2 I am going to be pissed! Get your lazy butt out of bed. I can't believe they let you drink that much!"

"I didn't drink that much and relax I got my people getting me coffee and advil."

"Good. I will be there at 2 and I expect you to be perfect! Bella looks extremely beautiful and I don't want you to look tired and grumpy next to her. What time did you go to sleep?"

"I don't know I think around 11 or so."

"Good you got 12 hours of sleep. You are going to need it since you are driving to California tonight"

"I know," I said smiling. "So Bella looks beautiful? That is not suprising. How is she?"

"She is good. She misses you though. Last night I think we distracted her with picking out-" Alice started and was cut off by my beautiful angel. "DON'T TELL HIM ALICE!"

"Calm down Bella I won't. He will figure that out tonight," she said back to her.

"Tell her I said I love her. Don't let her leave Alice. I can't live without her,"

"You two are both so pitiful! Nobody is leaving anybody! Got it?"

"Yes," I said.

"Now go get ready I will be there in a couple hours."

"Bye."

She hung up the phone without saying anything else. I wonder what could have distracted Bella? I guess that is none of my concern.

"Hey Em is jumping in the shower real quick then we are gonna go over to your place. Mind if I use your shower?" Jasper said.

"Okay. Yeah we can all just get ready in the guest room."

"Sounds good," he said and flipped on the TV. It was supposed to be sunny today. Perfect day for my wedding. Bella is probably jumping up and dowm with excitment. She has an inner child in her. I love her but she can get so bad that it could get to be like Alice.

After about 30 minutes later we were walking out the door. It was 12:30 right now and we had to be ready by 2.

We were walking over to mine and Bella's appartment and heard tires shrieking around the corner. Alice. Oh my goodness she is crazy. But I noticed it was Dad. What was going on? He also had Charlie with him.

They got out and ran over to us. "You guys have got to help us. We have no idea how to get ready."

We laughed at them and told them to go to my appartment. Now we had 4 men taking showers. I got in first knowing my timing was most important. I was out of the shower by 1. I shaked my hair out with the towel and grabbed some boxers. I put on my tux and looked in the mirror. I am getting married to the girl of my dreams today. Could my life get any better? I sat on my bed and started to doze off.

I got woken up by Alice screaming. "What the heck you guys! I told him to be ready by 2 and he is passed out!"

I shot up and looked at the clock. 2:15. Uh Oh!! Alice pulled me out of bed and straightened out my tux.

"Sorry," I muttered.

"I am not going to blame you. It is your wedding day. There," she said while making me look better. She brought her hands to my hair hesitently and then dove right in. She tried and tried and tried, but my hair wouldn't look clean.

"Well, Bella likes it like this anyway...," Alice said and I smiled. She handed me my jacket.

"Okay come on, we have to finish up you guys at the house. The flower for your jacket pocket is there,"

I laughed that she didn't know what it was called. Well I didn't know either so I shut my mouth.

"Edward drive your car and make sure it has a full tank of gas. Got that? I will meet you at Mom and Dad's."

I nodded and headed towards the closest gas station. Everyone I didn't know said congrats to me a lot and it made me happy.

BELLA'S POINT OF VIEW:

Alice left around 2 to go get the boys. I was starting to get nervous. What if he left me in front of everyone? Or what if we got divorced. I started to hypervenolate. Esme came over and put a hand on my shoulder.

"You are going to be fine. I know what you are thinking. Do you really think Edward would do those things?" I shook my head.

"Edward is my son and the only person I can say knows him better than me is you. He loves you. He really can't live without you. I promise today will be the best day of your life so far," she said and I hugged her.

"Thank you. I needed that," I said and she nodded. It was 3:30 when Alice came bursting through the door.

"Okay everything is ready now I just need to get in my dress."

We helped her get dressed and then my dad came up and said it was time. I wasn't nervous anymore after Esme's words. I was just excited.

When the bride's march started I started walking.

"I'm happy for you Bella. Love you. Mom would be happy." I smiled knowing Charlie's words were true.

I looked up and saw Edward. He looked gorgeous of course. I am going to look so plain next to him. When my dad handed me over Edward whispered 'Hi Love' to me and I mouthed 'Hi' right back.

When Edward read his vows to me I started crying they were so beautiful. The priest said "You may now kiss your beautiful bride," and Edward happily did. It was a soft sweet kiss filled with much love. Unfortunently it had to end. "And now I pronounce for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Edward Anthony Masen Cullen." I was so happy was complete.

The wedding flowed into the reception perfectly. Edward and I went upstairs so I could change shoes. I was not dancing in these heels they were like a death trap. Edward was holding the back of my dress up while I held the front. Alice would kill me if it got too dirty. I went into Alice's room knowing exactly where to go. When I was done Edward pulled me into his arms.

"You look so beautiful, Mrs. Cullen," he said. The words made me shudder.

"You might want to let go I feel like I am cheating on my husband," I said jokingly. He kissed me and I happily returned the favor.

"We have to go back down." he murmured against my lips. I groaned.

"Why?"

He laughed. "The sooner we go down there the sooner we can get to California," he said.

"Lets go!" I said. I wanted to leave right now. So if I got this over with everything would be complete bliss.

When we walked in everybody clapped and looked at us. We smiled at them. "There they are," we heard Charlie say in the microphone. It was his turn to make a speech. "When Bella was little she would always be scared of being alone. When her mother left for a vacation with her friends one day Bella wouldn't let her go. She would say, 'Mom I can't loose you, I need you' and her Mom would laugh at her ridicule. My point is that Bella lost her best friend the day her mother died and I am glad to know she is not alone. She has a best friend now and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you Edward. I love you both," I felt tears run slowly down my face and stood up and hugged him.

"She would be so happy for you," he said and I nodded not trusting my voice. Edward gave him a hug and then rested his head on my shoulder and wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled and rested my head on his. Esme was next.

"Well I don't how I am going to top that but it is worth a try. I remember Edward going to his Uncle's wedding, whois no longer with us, and he said, 'Mom I am going to marry the perfect lady. She will be my every need and desire and I promise you will love her' I laughed at him and said that I am not going to let him marry just anyone. And I didn't. Bella is your lady and your every need and desire. Thank you for being that to my son, Bella. And don't worry Edward, I do love her," Esme said and I was laughing a little when she was done and I was very touched by her words. I gave her a hug.

"Alright it is cake time!" Alice sang into the microphone. We went up to the beautiful cake and cut the first piece. I shoved it on his face first and he laughed and got frosting on his finger and placed it on my nose. I kissed him while we were laughing hystarically. Our first dance song came on. "Terrified" written by Kara Dioguardi. I felt it described our relationship perfectly. I began dancing with Edward.

"I love you," he said once I got in ear shot. I laughed.

"I love you too," I said.

"It was a long day!" he graoned I nodded on agreement.

"Well now we have a whole week of pure bliss to ourselves," I smiled and he kissed me on the neck.

"Can't wait," he said and then sand the words of the song in my ear and I joined him.

Lala Lala la la
Mmmmmm mmm
You by the light
Is the greatest find
In a world
Full of wrong
Your the thing thats right
Finally made it
Through the lonely
To the other side

You set it again
My hearts in motion
Every word feels
Like a shooting star
Im at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows
Burning in the dark
And Im in love
And Im terrifed
For the first time
And the last time
In my only life
Life

This could be good
Its already better than that
And nothings worse
Than knowing your holding back
I could be all that you need
If you let me try

You set it again
My hearts in motion
Every word feels
Like a shooting star
Im at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows
Burning in the dark
And Im in love
And Im terrified
For the first time
And the last time
In my only life

I only said it 'cause I mean it
Oh I only mean it
'Couse its true
So dont you tear
What I've been dreaming
'Couse it keeps me up
And holds me close
Whenever Im without you

You set it again
My hearts in motions
Every word feels
Like a shooting star
Im at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows
Burning in the dark
And Im in love
And Im terrified
For the first time
And the last time
In my only life
Life, life
In my only life
