Please Don't Leave Me (Edward Cullen Love Story)
Chapter 10
It was the day wedding and I was a nervous wreck. Alice made the wedding at 5pm. Right now it was 12:30pm. Esme made me lunch and I'm eating it. I didn't get much sleep last night. I kept fearing that I would mess up at some point. Trip and fall and everybody would laugh at me. No matter how much I would be told I'll be fine, I still fear the worst. Alice went to pick up my wedding gown with the fur jacket and a pair of white heels. It was very cloudy out and very chilly. Carlisle came up and gave me a hug. "Relax Celeste, everything will be fine!" 'You really think so Carlisle?" "I know so! If it makes you feel any better, Edward's nervous too." "H-he is?" "Yes, he is." "But he'll be embarrassed by me when I trip and fall going down the isle." "You won't trip and fall. I won't let you!" I smiled a bit, but not much. "Thanks Carlisle."
I'm never going to forget how a few days ago, everyone gave me and Edward a surprise wedding gift. Early yes but it was meant to be. Alice handed me a key and Edward and I ran out the back of the house, and continued through the forest as she told us too. Then we came across a beautiful two story cottage. I tried the key and it worked! So yea, me and Edward had that little cottage to ourselves. And today we get married. I continued to eat my food when Alice came back with my wedding dress and ran it up to her room. They already had their dresses but wouldn't let me see them. When I finished eating, Esme took my dish and started to wash it. I stood up and Alice dragged me to her room. Ok so all benches are set up out back and along the sides of each bench are a small bundle of flowers that you chose. We also have a long white carpet rolled open.
That leads up to the arch where you and Edward will be saying your vows. That also consists of the flowers of your choice!" "Uh huh." "Oh and when Alice went to get your dress and heels, I did a little shopping!" "What did you get Rose?" "Well I found some cute wedding decorations that we can hang up outside and around the house. First I bought tons of lights to be set up outside." "Ooh Rose perfect! Start by setting them up along the long benches. And if you run short, I'll run up to the store. Cause they should also go around the arch to." "I might have enough Alice cause I bought tons." She nodded. "I'll get Esme to help me set them up." "Ok I'll keep an eye on Celeste to make sure she doesn't leave the room." Rosalie laughed and nodded. "I should get stuff to decorate the ball room with." "Ballroom?"
"Yes Celeste, that's where the wedding reception is going to be! I should go by some streamers and other stuff. Including center pieces for all the tables." "Guys, don't you think you're both going a little overboard?" "Never! Your wedding must be perfect! It'll be like the wedding every girl has dreamed of having!" I laughed as I shook my head. "I'll be back, I'm going to call the ballroom, see how everything's coming." "Ok Alice, I'll stay with Celeste here." Alice quickly left the room and made a phone call. "You should be happy Celeste, this is your big day!" "I know Rose but still, what if I mess up? What if I trip and fall? Or worse, forget my lines at the altar?" "Celeste, relax! Everything will turn out fine if you can just relax." "It's easier said than done." "Come on Celeste, cheer up!" "If I fall…then Edward would laugh with the other people coming.
Or he would be angry because I embarrassed him." "He won't Celeste! Now quit being so sad and cheer up!" "How do you know Rose? How do you know he won't?" "Alice told me before that she had a vision of the wedding working out perfectly and that nothing would go wrong! And it's rare that her visions change." "She…really?" "Yes Celeste! Plus, Edward loves you so much." "Yea I know. And…can I ask you something?" "Of course!" "Well...is it normal…to feel so…nervous?" "Yes it is! Even for a vampire!" I giggled. "Alice wanted everything to be a surprise but would you like to see the bridesmaid dresses Alice had made? Though you chose the length, color and well basically everything ha ha!" "Umm I want to be surprised!" "Ok!" Then Alice walked in. "Ok, the owner told me everything is set up! The tables, chairs decorations, everything!"
"That's wonderful Alice! I'm going to go get Esme and have her help me set up the lights!" Rosalie grabbed the bag that had the lights in it and left the room. "I'm actually kind of happy Alice!" "You should be! It's your big day!" "Ha ha ha, yea!" "It's 1:45 now. I'll start getting you ready one." "Ok!" "You know what actually let's get ready now!" "Go shower and afterwards just slip something comfortable on." I raised my eyebrow but obeyed. I went to mine and Edwards room, shut the shades and grabbed my towel. I walked into the bathroom, quickly stripped down and showered. I was in and out by 2:05, it didn't take me long. It stayed dark out. I quickly got dressed and slipped on sweat pants and a loose fitting shirt. I walked into Alice's room and her and Rose already had their own hair done. I walked in and sat down in a chair. "Let's begin on your hair!"
When she was finished it was beautiful! My hair was upswept into a loose bun, with curls of cinnamon-gold cascading down in lengthy waves. The delicate tendrils also spilled further down, gently framing my face. Flowers floated throughout my hair, putting Ophelia's final voyage to shame with the grace of design. "Rose, it's beautiful!" "I'm glad you like it!" "Time to do your makeup now!" My hair took about 45 minutes to do. Then she got the white eye shadow, and put some on my eye lids. She then got the eye liner, put that on and then mascara. That didn't take long. Only about 10 minutes. It was now 3:00. "Hmm…some lipstick should suffice." She put on some light pink lipstick, with a layer of gloss on top to make my lips shine. I looked in the mirror and was shocked. "Esme come here!" Alice quickly called Esme and she appeared in the room in a second.
Rosalie stood in front of me so Esme wouldn't see. "Tell us what you think of Celeste!" Rosalie moved away and Esme gasped. "Celeste you look so beautiful dear!" I smiled. "Thank you Esme!" "Carlisle, come look at Celeste!" He also appeared in a second. "You look magnificent Celeste!" "Thank you both so much! But give the credit to Alice and Rose. Rosalie did my hair and then Alice did my make up!" "Good job girls!" They got really happy as Esme and Carlisle then left the room. "Time for your nails!" Alice got out a nail filer and filed my nails; rounding the tips. Then she wiped away the dust that formed and got out white nail polish. Then she started to put a coating on my nails and toe nails. I waited for about 3 minutes for it to dry. Then she put another coating on top and closed up the nail polish. We waited again as we let my nails dry.
And when they were, she put clear nail polish on top which made my nails shine. Time was 3:18pm. I waited for them to dry and when I tried to get up she made me sit again. "You're not leaving this room until it's time to walk down the isle!" "Can I see Emmett or Jasper? Please!" She looked at me for a second and smiled. "Ok!" She texted them and then at the door within a minute appeared Emmett and Jasper. Emmett whistled and I laughed. "Hey Celeste! You're gorgeous!" "Thank you Jasper!" I stood up and he gave me a gentle hug followed by Emmett who kissed my cheek. "How's Edward doing?" "He's fine Celeste, don't worry so much!" I laughed a bit. "You nervous?" "Very, I'm very nervous!" "You'll be fine Celeste, I promise you!" I nodded. "Thank you both!" They nodded. "Now don't think about any of this, Edward can't know!"
Alice spoke and they nodded their heads in understanding. Then they quickly left as the time was now 3:30pm. The time kept inching closer and closer to 5pm which was when the wedding ceremony would begin. And as time grew closer, I became more and more nervous. 3:30 passed and it hit 4:00. I stepped out of the room as Alice and Rosalie got their dresses on. When they were done I had to go back in. "Guys it's exactly how I imagined! They look amazing!" "You chose them! I simply went and got them made!" Still they look great!" "Thanks, now come on over and sit! I need to slide your hair comb in!" "Wait can I see it?" "Mhm!" She opened the box and it was lovely! It was obviously a hair comb but it had fur on the end. "It's perfect, thank you!" I sat down and she took it out of the box and slid it in the back of my hair.
"Come on, lets get you into your wedding gown now!" She helped me pull the shirt over my head carefully and I did the rest as she then slid the gown over my head gently. Being careful not to ruin the hair and makeup. After I was in my long extravagant wedding gown, she pulled the strings on the back and then tied it at the bottom. Yes, it was a lace up back. Then I slid the small fur long sleeved jacket on and sat down, as Alice slid on my heels. I stood up and looked in the mirror and I looked just amazing. "Oh wait one more thing! Lift your skirt!" Confused I lifted it and she slid onto my leg my garter. Then she put my veil on and smiled. "Let's get you downstairs to Carlisle!" I slowly walked out of the room. She handed me my bouquet as her and Rose held theirs, and I slowly turned around.
I gripped the rail and slowly walked down the steps as Carlisle then turned around smiling. "Celeste, you're beautiful!" "Thank you Carlisle!" He put out his arm and I took it in mine as he walked me out to the big open back doors. "Are you ready?" "Yes, please don't drop me." "I wouldn't think of it." The music started and we walked out. As we went around and made it to the isle, everything was so lit up and beautiful. Everybody stood up and faced the isle as step by step, Carlisle walked me down, to where Edward stood. Then it started to snow and I smiled. Each step closer I took to Edward, his smile grew wider. When I reached him, Carlisle put my hand in his and kissed my cheek, stepping away afterwards. I now stood in front of Edward, face to face, both of us smiling. Then he whispered, "you're beautiful!" I smiled as he did the same.
On the side with all my "human" friends, I saw not only them, but Maria, Damien, Bella, Jake and the wolf pack. Then the preacher known as Angela's father spoke. "We are gathered here today on this happy and joyous occasion to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Marriage is a solemn institution to be held in honor by all, it is the cornerstone of the family and of the community. It requires of those who undertake it, a complete and unreserved giving of one's self. It is not to be entered into lightly, as marriage is a sincere and mutual commitment to love one another. This commitment symbolizes the intimate sharing of two lives and still enhances the individuality of each of you." As he spoke, Edward and I stared into each other's eyes.
"Do you Edward, take Celestia, to be your wedded wife?" "I do!" "And do you Celestia take Edward to be your wedded husband?" "I do!" "Then Edward, please repeat after me. I Edward Cullen, take you Celestia Storm to be my wife. To have and to hold from this day forward. For better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, for as long as we both shall live." As he said each line, Edward repeated after him. "And Celestia, may you repeat after me. I Celestia Storm, take you Edward Cullen, to be my husband. To have and to hold from this day forward. For better for worse, for richer for pooer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, for as long as we both shall live." I repeated after him. Then me and E dward were smiling so wide, as we stared into each other's eyes.
"Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!" As it continued to snow, Edward took me in his arms and gave me the most passionate, loving kiss ever. When we turned towards everybody, they all stood up from the front row back, clapping. Girls gathered around and I tossed the bouquet. When I turned around, I saw that Bella caught it and I smiled. Edward knelt down and I wiggled my leg a bit, sliding the garter down to my ankle. He slid it off smiling and tossed it to the crowd, as he stood back up smiling. He leaned in and gave me one more kiss as the crowd ooh'd. We all laughed and smiled. And it continued to snow. Everybody knew where to go after this so they started leaving. Edward put his arm around my waist as we started to leave to. Then we saw a limo parked in front of the house.
The driver was standing outside of it too. On the back of the limo was a big sign that said Just Married! I was so happy. He opened the door for us and we climbed in as the limo driver shut it. Edward put his arm around me and kissed my temple. "You're beautiful!" "Thanks! I chose it all myself including the bridesmaid dresses obviously." They're all beautiful!" "And what made this wedding even better is that it started to snow. And that with all the lights, just made the moment so beautiful!" "I agree, Mrs. Cullen!" I smiled and leaned in to kiss him. "Now for the reception!" He nodded as I leaned against his side waiting for us to arrive. When we did, the driver parked and came around to open the door for us. Edward climbed out and held out his hand. I took it and he helped me out as the driver shut the door. "What time do you need me back by sir?"
"About 10 should be good." "Ok sir! Congratulations on your marriage by the way." "Thank you!" The driver nodded and got back in the limo and drove away. It continued to snow as he put his arm around my waist while we walked up to the doors. We opened one and as we walked inside everybody cheered and all said congratulations. If I could cry, I definitely would have. Edward smiled as did I as we continued to walk in. Seth shook Edwards hand as he gave me a hug. "Congratulations guys!" "Thank you Seth!" Jake ran up and lifted me off the ground a bit and spun me around. When he sat me down he kissed my cheek. "Congratulations cuz!" "Thanks Jake!" Everybody continued to congratulate us as Esme and Carlisle walked over. "I'm so proud of you guys!" They gave us a hug. "Thanks Esme!" Everybody ate food, danced and laughed. All having fun!
Then the dj announced over the microphone, "and our first dance will be to our newlyweds, Edward and Celeste Cullen!" He put on a slow song as everybody sat down; while Edward and I made our way to the dance floor. I put my hand on his shoulder as his hand took my waist. And the fingers on my right interlaced with his on his left hand. We slowly moved, side to side, and back in forth, going in a circular motion. Pictures snapped as I just noticed that the same exact arch that was at the wedding, was here in the ballroom. "So how you feeling right now, Mrs. Cullen?" "Happy, excited, loved!" He smiled as we slowly came to a stop and he leaned down and kissed me. Everyone got excited as they watched. We continued to dance and when the song ended, everybody clapped. People were eating and laughing as they sat at tables talking with each other.
More music came on and everybody was out on the dance floor. I got to dance with Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, Damien, Jake, Seth and the other ones of the wolf pack. I was so happy and having fun as I danced crazily on the dance floor with my friends. Edward watched from a distance laughing. When I looked at him I laughed as well and shrugged. He shook his head laughing even more. Jess and Mike were eating along with others. Edward walked over and put his arm around my waist, kissing my cheek. "You're crazy!" He continued to laugh. "And you're just realizing this Edward?" "Apparently!" I laughed as well. Time passed by quickly since we were having fun. Then a guy working here, rolled out a table that had a five layered cake with white icing and flowers going round for design. "Ok it's time for the bride and groom to cut the cake!"
The guy handed us a knife as everybody watched. Me and Edward held it as we cut the first slice and out it on a plate. I grabbed a fork and put a piece of it in his mouth as he did the same to me. Then everybody clapped and whistled. We continued to cut pieces and put them on plates. Then more guys who worked here, that were dressed in suits, came out and served the pieces to everyone at the tables with a fork. Then there was tons of soda. Edward poured the Orange while I poured Coke. He also poured Pepsi while I poured Dr. Pepper. "Ok one table at a time can come get their drinks! That way there is no pushing and shoving!" So everyone came up and got the soda that they wanted and went back to their seats. Me and Edward did the same. It was hard to swallow cake since I was a vampire, not human. So it tasted gross. "How the hell do you eat this?"
He laughed and whispered in my ear. "You get used to it!" He kissed my temple and continued to eat it. "I love you Celeste!" "I love you too Edward!" We gave each other a kiss as his tongue explored my mouth for a minute. He pulled away smiling, as he gave me one more quick kiss. Come 9:30, everybody was getting their pictures taken. But the first few were of me and Edward under the arch. Afterwards we went out to the limo, with well…Emmett following us. "Hey can we take a ride in there, please!" He gave me the puppy dog eyes and I always give into those for some reason. I looked at Edward and he nodded laughing. "Woo!" Rose then came out followed by Alice and Jasper. "The limo driver opened the door and they climbed in. Then we climbed in next. They sat across from me and Edward as the limo driver shut the door. Everybody clapped and waved.
Edward pulled me onto his lap and I squealed, giggling at the same time. They all smiled as he leaned in and gave me another kiss, while I put my hand on the side of his face. For once Jasper didn't say anything. I let his tongue explore my mouth as he then moved to right below my ear. He pulled away and just continued to hold me. When we arrived at the Cullen's house, the limo driver pulled off to the side and got out to open our door. They all exited first followed by Edward then me. Alice and Rosalie pulled me into the house and took me to the bedroom. "Ok Celeste, strip!" Going wide eyed she laughed. "Take off the heels and dress and change into these!" I took the dress and heels then went into mine and Edward's room. I took off the wedding dress and heels and slipped on to a tight fitting dress. It was the skin clinging curve hugging type of dress.
It barely passed my ass. But it was a halter top, and was bright red. I slipped on the heels as Alice knocked on the door. I quickly opened it and she walked in. "Looks cute! Let me help you with your hair!" She took off the veil and pulled out the hair comb. She got the flowers out of my hair and took it down. My hair cascaded down my back as I quickly brushed it out. Then she took off the lip stick, and replaced it with bright red lipstick with new gloss on top. My lips shined a bright red, matching my dress. "Thanks!" "Now go!" I laughed and walked down the steps making Emmett's jaw drop. Rosalie whacked him across the back of his head as Edward who was already changed, held out his hand and pulled me to his side. "Oh don't forget your suitcase guys!" She handed us our suitcase and we took it.
We then walked outside and the limo driver popped the trunk as he took the suitcases and put them in, shutting the trunk lid. Then he opened the door for us and we climbed in as he shut it behind us. Edward pushed me back onto the seat kissing me. My lips, my face and my neck. I pushed him off laughing and sat up. "Where are we going anyway?" "That's a surprise! He kissed my cheek and put his arm around me. Minutes passed and the driver pulled into an airport. He opened the door for us as we got out and shut it. Then he popped the trunk and handed us our suitcases. He then got back in and drove off. We went into an air port and caught a private jet. We walked in it and Edward put the suit cases up top and sat down next to me. "You made me the happiest man in the world, the moment you said yes to marrying me, do you realize that!"
"Yes!" He smiled and just hugged me close to him. The plane ride wasn't long. When it landed, Edward caught a taxi which drove quite a long distance before we got out. When we did, he took my hand in his and guided me towards this boat. He lifted me up and helped me on as he then drove towards an island. "That's Isle Esme!" "It's beautiful!" When we arrived on the island, he parked the boat and got off lifting me into his arms making me squeal with excitement! He carried me inside kissing me the whole way and sat me down. "I'll let you look around!" We sat the suitcases down and I took off my shoes as I walked around. "It's beautiful Edward!" "It's nothing compared to you! You're stunning!" I turned around smiling. "Well thank you! You're handsome!" He laughed a bit and kissed my cheek as we were now at the back doors. He took my hands in his and smiled.
"Do you want to take a dip with me?" I smiled and nodded as he went out to the warm waters waiting for me. I watched as he started to take his shirt off and toss it aside. Then I stripped down and walked out into the clear blue, warm waters, as the moon light lit up the night. As I went up to him he turned around smiling as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "Edward, being with you, has never felt so right before. And realizing that the moment we said yes at the altar, that I knew we'd be together forever!" "I love you Celeste!" "I love you too Edward!" And then he took me down into the mystic water of night.
