Chapter 11: Wedding plans

I was nerves about Alice meeting Edward and visa-verse. They were two every important people to me. Once I got home I told Edward how it went then made him rush to get ready while I got things ready for dinner. I made something quick that I thought would go over well. I knew what Edward and Mason liked and I knew Alice but I didn't know Jasper well so I figured that simple is better. Once I was done preparing the food I helped Edward get Mason ready. I didn't bother getting ready because I knew Alice would still think that I don't try. I must have looked anxious or nervous because Edward pulled me into our room and sat me on his lap.

"Bella you need to relax or you're going to go crazy." he said while placing soft kisses on my face.

"I'm just nervous." I said looking at my hands.

"Why?"

"I just want everything to go well. I really want Alice to like you."

"It will. I may not know Alice but I know you and I know what you have told me about Alice. If half the things you've told me are true than she'll like me just fine. Besides if she likes me to much you might have to fight for me and you wouldn't want to fight for something you already won do you?" I kissed him and looked in his eye.

"Thank you for knowing me so well and for knowing how to make me feel better." I kissed him softly on the lips.

"Thank you for marring me. Now lets go and met your friend." he gave me one last kiss before we walked out of the room. Alice didn't show up for another twenty minutes. While we waited Edward and Mason began to play some kind of video game. I sat there and watched. Once Alice and Jasper arrived we sat down to eat and that's when Alice's started her interrogation. I decided to not to interfere with Alice on this because I still felt bad about not telling her.

"Now that we have been formally introduced I have some questions for you. First what are your intentions with Bella?" she asked with a serious expression on her face.

"Well I plan in loving her, making her happy and marrying her as soon as possible."

"As far as getting married I've set the date for thanks giving weekend unless there is some major conflicts to change that. As for the rest you better. Now question two, I know you have a son from your previous marriage but would you consider having more with Bella?" I held my tong on this I felt bad leaving Edward to deal with Alice.

"Yes" He answered quickly my heart tugged with joy that he wanted to have a bigger family with me.

"Good I want more kids to spoil one is just not enough and jasper and I already decided that we wouldn't have any so have like ten more. Now question three, whats my budget for this wedding? And remember that a lot is riding on this answer." He nodded for her to continue. "Whats my budget for the wedding?" Edward stood up from the table and lifted one finger signaling for to wait a moment he went in to the kitchen and brought back a pen and a small note pad. He wrote something on it then looked at Alice.

"Okay I wrote two amounts on this paper. The top amount is what you have as of right now but you can have the bottom amount if you have the wedding at my parents house. My mother has always want to have a wedding there and asked if we would do it there." he pushed the paper to Alice face down. She picked it up and looked at it carefully then smile at Edward.

"Your a good negotiator."

"I'm a lawyer."

"I have to see your parents house but if its half decent then we could do it there." she then turned to me. "You did good Bells" she said then smiled. After dinner was over Jasper Edward and Mason went in to the living room to play video games. While Alice and I talked wedding. Once the evening was we made plans to met over the week end to start shopping for the wedding. That didn't mean that Alice didn't call me every time she had an idea and that our morning coffee was now all about the wedding. Poor Edward had been forced to sit with us.

That weekend spent looking at colors and dresses though we didn't buy anything. Once Alice had idea of what we (which meant her) wanted she just needed to finalize the location. So I made a call to my soon to be mother-in-law and made a plans to have brunch the following weekend at the Cullen house. When I told Alice she was ecstatic. When the day arrived I picked up Alice and Rosalie (who I asked to be a bride's maid) and took us to to the Cullen house. Edward told me that they were having a boys day and we would be guy free all day. I think Alice planned it like that. Once we got to the house Alice was immediately happy with what she saw, but still wanted to see the back yard. We were greeted by a very happy Esme at the door. She showed us in and gave Alice and Rose the grand tour of the house. I followed along only because I didn't want to be alone. When we made it outside I saw Alice's eyes grow wide with excitement.

Esme was happy and excited when Alice said that her back yard would be a perfect for the wedding. I was a little surprised that Esme knew that Alice was in charge of this whole thing but after a quick chat I found out that Edward had told his mom, well everything. I was glad I didn't have tell her what had happened I still felt really bad about lying to everyone.

Once we had finished the tour Esme called for lunch to be served. We sat there and talked about the wedding all afternoon. Okay Alice talked about the wedding we just sat and put in a few ideas here and there. By the end of the day Alice had everything planed in her head and was eager to go home and start planing properly. She called my later that night to inform me that we had an appointment in two weeks for the four of us girls to go dress shopping. I was not thrilled about it but Edward told me that his mother couldn't wait to spend more time getting to know me. As much as I hated spending a day sopping for dressed, I really wanted to get to know Esme better so I didn't complain.

Dress shopping day came faster than I thought. I had tried on about fifty dresses and like none. Either it was to flashy or to tight or to not me at all. The others were a bit luckier. Esme found her dress right away and Alice had found a few dresses she wanted Rose and herself to try on. I was sitting there watching them try on dresses when Rose pulled me aside.

"Bella can I talk to you alone for a moment?" I nodded as she pulled me to the side so no one could hear us. "I know you told Alice that she could have total control over your wedding but I can't wear this dress or any of the ones she has picked out." I looked at Rose and what she was wearing. She had on a burnt orange strapless dress that looked like was made for her. She looked stunning.

"Why you look great? I bet if my brother saw you in that he won't let you leave the house for a week."

"While that may be true, I won't fit in this dress on your wedding day because I'll be seven months pregnant by then."

"Really?" I asked in shock. She nodded and smiled. " Oh my god" I hugged her and we jumped up and down in excitement. After a moment of that we stopped.

"Please don't tell anyone yet. I still haven't told your brother."

"Okay" "Eek, I'm so excited I'm going to be an aunt." I jumped up and down clapping my hands. Rose laughed at me.

"You look like Alice right now." I stopped once she said that and just looked at her after a moment we both started laughing. Once we calmed down I told her that she could pick what ever she wanted and I would handle Alice. It wasn't hard to talk Alice in to the dress that Rose had picked. It turned out that she loved it better than what she had found. She even found one similar enough in the color she wanted in a different length. Even though I didn't find her dress she thought they had a very successful day.

Time flew buy and summer turned to fall the wedding was getting closer by the second. Almost everything was done or ordered. My nerves were starting to wear thin with the pressure of everything and I didn't have half as much pressure as Alice did and she was just as chipper as always.

A/N: First I would like to say that I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I do have a very valid reason this. First the adepter for my laptop broke and I couldn't get my computer on at all so I couldn't get any work done. Then once I did get a new adepter I moved and just know got cable and internet at my new place. But to worry I got good news this was supposed to be the last chapter with the wedding and a bit more but I decided to extend it to one more chapter and an epilogue to wrap up a few lose ends. I also have an out take of Edward and his multiple attempts to purpose to Bella I'll add that at the end of the story. I also would like to add that I have written a few one shots that I will start posting as soon as I can get someone to look over them. They aren't suitable for all ages but I think they are pretty good. So look for them. I hope you enjoyed this chapter please let me know what you think.
