Chapter 11
The Reception and Goodbyes
JPOV
As we stepped out of the limo, we saw standing before us two pathetic looking superhuman beings. Edward and Alice were standing there But holding hands while looking incredibly sad and upset about what had happened a few years before. I felt nothing but remorse coming from the pair. I felt anguish coming off of my new bride and that hurt me. It's our wedding day, she shouldn't have any reason to be upset and I wanted to kill Edward and Alice for making her upset. Alice immediately whisked Bella away to somewhere in the house. The only thing I could do was glare at Edward for ruining mine and Bella's big day!
"Jasper, I'm so sorry!" Edward stammered out. "We handled things completely wrong and I'm sorry for hurting her. It seems to have worked though. She seems to be completely and irrevocably in love with you. I sincerely hope that she wasn't a mess for long Jazz."
"Edward, you have some nerve! Showing up here on our wedding day! You couldn't wait to ruin her day could you?"
"Jazz it's not like that! Alice really needed to check in on Bella. She misses her terribly. You know Alice... I couldn't keep her away!"
"You know what, it doesn't matter because our wedding day is ruined! But, since you are already here, you might as well stay and enjoy the reception... as long as it's ok with my wife. Afterall, you are family."
"Thanks Jasper. I know Alice wants to stay."
I suddenly felt a shift in feelings coming from upstairs. I couldn't tell if it was Alice or Bella but I felt excitement and relief. "I'm guessing the girls made up." I stated.
Edward chuckled. "Bella invited Alice to stay."
Just then, the girls emerged from the bedroom and appeared to float down the stairs. They were both beaming from ear to ear.
Bella immediately walked over to me and gave me a huge kiss.

Coming down the stairs, I finally got a chance to look at my wedding reception. Rosalie and Esme did a fabulous job! The main room was decorated in red, black, and white. There was a table setup in the front of the room. It had a white tablecloth and plates and napkins matching the colors. The cake was more beautiful than anything I had ever seen in my life! It was 4 stacked tiers, based-iced in white fondant. There were red and black bows on the cake giving the same vision as my wedding dress. There were roses spread around the base of the cake that matched my bouquet. I suppose that even though we don't eat, Rose and Esme pulled out all the stops to make our day as human as possible.
Esme and Rosalie walked up behind me just then. "So, do you like it?" Esme asked while beaming.
"Esme, Rose, you guys did a fabulous job. Thank you so much! I love you both!"
"What is going on with you and Alice?" Rosalie whispered too quietly for Alice to hear from the other side of the room.
"Relax Rose. She explained why they did what they did and I invited them to stay. They are family, no matter how uninvited they originally were to mine and Jasper's day."
"Ok sis. I was just checking. I don't want you upset on your perfect day!"
"Rose, I'm disappointed in you." Esme hissed. "Alice is your sister too!"
"I know. I just wanted to make sure Bella was ok. It is her day!" Rosalie sighed.

"Ladies, ladies. What's going on over here?" I asked as I slinked up to their anguished and hushed conversation.
"Nothing my love. It's nothing. We were just discussing the beautiful job they did on the house! And Rose was making sure I was ok with Edward and Alice being here." Bella said.
"Ok. I just wanted to make sure that no one was upsetting my beautiful bride." I kissed her cheek.
"Jasper, do you really think Esme and I, of all people, would want to upset Bella any day, let alone today?" Rose asked.
"I didn't say that. I just felt a bit of anguish coming from over here and thought I would check it out."
"Oh ok. Sorry Jasper." Rose said.
"BELLA!" Emmett roared. "I want to dance with the non-blushing bride!"
We all laughed. Typical Emmett.
"OK big bro! Let's go" Bella exclaimed.
"Hey Jasper, dance with me?" Rose asked.
"Ok!" I replied.
We went out to the dance floor and had a blast!

After dancing with Emmett for a few songs, Emmett decided to make an announcement.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, may I have your attention please?" I giggled since the only ones present were the Cullen family and the Denali coven. "I am proud to present the newly married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Hale Whitlock!"
The guests clapped and cheered. Just then, mine and Jasper's song started playing. I looked around and found my husband on the other side of the room. We stared into each other's eyes as we walked towards each other and onto the dance floor. We danced and gazed into each other's eyes for our song and then probably another six. We didn't care if the song was a slow song or a fast song. We continued our slow dance as we stayed entranced in each other's eyes.
After about eight hours of dancing and partying fun, Alice broke up the fun. "Jasper, Bella if you two don't get ready right now, you will miss your flight!" We were ushered up to our room to change our clothes. Alice had already packed our bags since she had seen a vision earlier roughly detailing our month-long honeymoon to Germany... our ancestor's country of origin.
After hugging every single one of our guests, we grabbed our bags and headed to the car.
With that, we were gone!
