Epilogue- EPOV

It had been a year since that fantastic day. What a brilliant year! At first, Bella and I took it slow, we didn't want to rush into anything too soon. But within four months, I had sold my flat and moved in with Bella and Janey, which, surprisingly, Janey was fine with. She and Emmett took all the credit for getting us back together, and reminded us at frequent intervals that if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be together.

I still had a lot to learn about my daughter, seventeen years worth of learning to do, but we were getting to know each other slowly, and I loved her so much already, so much like Bella, there was no way I could not love her.

Eight months after the day at the restaurant, I asked Bella to marry me, knowing absolutely that she was the one.

-Flashback-

We were sitting in the park one day, and the small blue velvet box was burning a hole in my jeans pocket, where it had been sitting since I hesitantly put it in my pocket this morning, just in case I got the opportunity. Janey knew of my plans, she'd found the wedding ring where I hid it in my wardrobe, she told me she was happy for us and I was severely glad I had her blessing.
Butterflies with ski boots were kicking the walls of my stomach as we sat, holding hands on the bench, watching the world go by.

"Edward? Are you okay? You look a little sick." Bella looked at me worriedly.

It's now or never, I thought.

"Bella." I smiled, "I've known since the day I met you that you were the one for me, and I am totally and madly in love with you." I started.
She smiled, "Aww.. you're so sweet," She said, not getting where I was going with this, "I love you-" She stopped as I pulled the box out my jeans, her mouth dropped open.

As tradition states, I got down on one knee, and saw tears welling up in her doe eyes as I opened the box to reveal the diamond ring I'd spent hours choosing. It was simple, a white gold band with a medium-sized diamond in the centre, I knew Bella would not want a flashy rock.

"Bella, will you make me the happiest man alive and do me the honour of becoming my wife?" I asked, staring deep into her bottomless eyes.
"Yes! Yes, of course I will!" Tears ran down her face, and we kissed, long and lovingly. I wrapped my arms around her, so happy, so jubilant.

I broke it off to smile widely at her. I pulled the ring out of the box and slipped it on her finger and kissed it.

"I love you so much Bella." I said, staring into her eyes.
"I love you too, Edward. More than my own life." We kissed again, pouring all our love into one kiss.

-End flashback-

We threw ourselves into wedding plans over the next few months, neither of us wanted to wait, and I couldn't wait to have Bella as my wife.

And today was the big day. I stood at the end of the aisle, waiting, for her big entrance. People were talking excitedly in the pews, but I couldn't concentrate on them.

"If it wasn't for me and Janey..." Emmett whispered, standing at my side.
"Shut up." I whispered back, not taking my eyes off the mahogany studded door at the back.

The sound of Wagner's March started, and it was time.

The door opened first to reveal Janey, in a beautiful light blue bridesmaid dress, a small bunch of white lilies, she smiled at me and I smiled back. She walked slowly down the aisle, then stopping at the end, turning back towards the door.

The door opened again, Bella. She looked... Indescribable. The veil was over her head, only masking her beautiful features a little bit, her huge smile was clearly visible under the delicate fabric. She wore a traditional white dress, with lace on the bodice that extended around the dress, it was perfect. She was so beautiful, I couldn't believe that this stunning creature loved me, I was not worthy, and neither would any man be, she was too perfect, in every single way.

After what felt like years, Bella finally made it to the end of the aisle. We faced each other and I slowly pulled the veil over her head, my smile growing impossibly, until I thought it might split my face in two.

Her beautiful chocolate pools burned into mine, mirroring the happiness I felt.

"Will you still love me in the morning?" She whispered, her eyes swirling.
"Forever and ever, love."
