Chapter 12
Bella's POV
I can't begin to describe the feeling of waking up and remembering everything that has happened to you; even the attack. I got out of bed and was
one a mission, I had told Edward that the wedding was off, well, news flash! The wedding is not off and I know a few people who won't be there.
"Bella, I hope you reconsider what you said," Edward said when he saw me walking down the hall; apparently my dad hadn't told him.
"Edward, I love you so much," I said catching him off guard then smiled, "Oh, it feels so good to say that!"
"You remember?" He asked walking slowly towards e, I nodded "I know this shouldn't be my first question but..."
"Who attacked me?" I said finishing his sentence, "This is hard for me to say because one of them was, is, a good friend to me."
"One of them? How many were there?" I thought back to the day I was attacked.
"4. It was an inside job. Aro was there, he hypnotized me at Jake's order, Tanya was there, she and Jake were the masterminds."
"That's only 3, who was the fourth?"
"Rose."
"What?" I knew it must have been hard for him to accept that someone who was family to him would do this to me.
"I remember she apologized before I was hypnotized, she said she needed the money."
"Not that bad, she could have asked us."
"Whoa! You two will have plenty of time to talk later, she has to come with me," Alice said grabbing my hand and pulling me back to my room.
"Alice, I remember," I said when I was sitting in front of the makeup mirror; she smiled and began brushing my hair.
"Your dad told me, let's not talk about that right now, I have to get you ready," Alice said and began to put it up into a ponytail; I never questioned
what she with hair because it always turned out amazing.
"Hello ladies," I turned and saw Esme walking in with a tiara on a pillow, "Bella, Edward told me everything, he's taking care of things."
"What will happen to Johnathan?" I asked.
"He still has Emmett, and they'll come and live here," Esme said then looked around, "This is your tiara for the wedding; you'll get mine when you and
Edward take the throne."
"Thank you so much," I said touching it gently before smiling, "I guess I should get my dress on right?"
"Here ya go," Alice said handing me the zipped up bag that contained my bag and pushed me into the dressing room to change. As I got into the
white dress it hit me that I would be Bella Cullen in less than three hours! I would also be queen of Denmark in 2 weeks, can someone say yikes?
"Is everything alright?" I snapped out of my thoughts, zipped up the back, and walked outside.
"Whoa! You look like Cinderella!" Alice said with a smile, "I am so proud to be the maid of honor."
"You do look beautiful Bella, Edward is one lucky man," Esme said with a small smile, "Alice, will you do her makeup?"
"Of course! Let's put this robe on so we don't get any makeup on your beautiful dress," Alice said handing me my 'IMC' robe.
"Thanks," I said slipping into it and sitting down in the chair.
"Bella, I need to talk to you.." Alice had just picked up an eyeliner pen when Rose walked in.
"What makes you think you can talk to her?" Alice asked standing between me and Rose.
"It's okay Al," I told her getting up and walking towards Rose, "How could you do that to me? 'You needed money is not a good excuse, because you
didn't just lose my friendship but you hurt Edward too. He trusted you! He accepted you as family and hurting me is how you repay him?"
"I know what I did was wrong, but at the time it sounded right."
"Right? It sounded right to put someone in a coma?" Alice asked, we had been friends for so long, I guess it was obvious because she had voiced my
very thoughts.
"That wasn't supposed to happen! We were just supposed to make her believe she was in love with Jake," Rose said in a defensive tone.
"GUARDS!" Esme said and in second guards were escorting Rose out.
"Do you have to do that a lot as queen?" Good thing I didn't have make up on because I was ready to cry.
"No, not a lot," Esme said rubbing my back, "but it does get easier."
"We have two hours and forty-eight minutes to get your make up on!" To me that was two hours and forty-eight minutes, but to Alice that was, at
max, thirty minutes.
"I will go see how Edward is doing," Esme said then looked at Alice, "Do you work Alice!"
"You remember when we were little girls, we would play dress up and you married Ken, you must have married your Ken doll at least 10 times!" Alice
said putting on some blush.
"Yeah, I never told Edward that he was marrying a married woman," I said with a small grin. Times had changed, that was no surprise.
"I don't think he'll mind," Alice picked up the mascara, "You're really a lucky girl, you've gotten everything that a girl dreams of."
"Edward's a great guy, I can't believe that I'm marrying him today," I said completely honest. Almost a year ago, I was sure he was going to break up
with me for lying to him about who I was, it had taken him a few weeks but he came around and accepted me for who I was, he didn't care if I wasn't royal, he
loved me for me.
"Are you ready Bells?" My dad asked as he grabbed my arm, I gave a shaky sigh in reply, "You may be marrying your prince, know that you have
always been my princess."
"I love you daddy, don't let me fall," I said as the doors began to open.
"Never." The music started playing and we began to walk down the carpet to my Prince Charming, he looked stunning in his black suit, Carlisle and
Esme sat on the front row beaming with pride at their son. When I got to him, he walked down to me and my dad, waiting for my dad to give me away.
"Who gives them woman in marriage?" The minister said with a smile my dad said,
"I do." Edward took my hand and led me up to face the minister.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the face of this congregation, to join together this man and this woman in holy
matrimony. If there is any reason these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace," there was silence as the minister made sure no one
objected, "Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together according to God's law in the holy estate of
matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health? And forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both
shall live?"
"I will," Edward said staring into my eyes, he had hold of both my hands and was smiling the whole time.
"Isabella Marie Swan, wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband, to live together according to God's law in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt
thou love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health? And forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?"
"I will," my voice wasn't nearly as strong but it wasn't because I didn't want to marry Edward, the real reason was because I was about to cry.
"Edward, repeat after me, 'I, Edward Cullen, take thee, Isabella Swan,'"
"I, Edward Cullen, take thee, Isabella Swan,"
"to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse;"
"to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse;"
"in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy law; and thereto I give thee my troth."
"In sickness and in health; to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy law; and thereto I give thee my troth." The minister
nodded and looked at me when Edward had finished.
"Isabella, repeat after me, 'I, Isabella Marie Swan, take thee, Edward Cullen, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward,
for better, for worse;'" I was kind of wondering if he'd ever stop, Edward had gotten the short sentences and I got half of the vow.
"I, Isabella Marie Swan, take thee, Edward Cullen, to be my wedded husband, 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, till death do us part, according to God's holy law; and thereto I give thee my
troth."
"For richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy law; and thereto I give thee my
troth." A tear escaped and I smiled.
"May we have the rings please?" Johnathan handed the minister the ring, "Edward, place this ring on Isabella's left hand ring finger and say 'with this
ring, I thee wed'."
"With this ring, I thee wed," Edward said placing the cold metal on my finger.
"Please kneel," we did so, "Those whom God has joined together, let no man put asunder. … I pronounce that they be man and wife together, you
may kiss the bride." Edward smiled and wrapped his arms around me and kissed me like he hadn't in a long time.
"I believe Carlisle would like to read something from the Bible," the minister said, Edward and I smiled as we stared in the direction of Carlisle. He
was sitting on the bench with a Bible open in his hands.
"Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are, if it is possible, so far as it
depends on you, live peaceably with all." Carlisle closed the Bible and looked at us, "Twenty Five years ago, I was lucky enough to marry the love of my life,
now Edward has too, I am happy for my son and my new daughter, congratulations you two."
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a joyful day, this is as every wedding day should be, a day of hope. Edward and Bella, do not try to change each
other, with this may I introduce Edward and Isabella Cullen."
"You look beautiful," Edward whispered as we danced to 'Eternal Flame' by The Bangles.
"You don't look bad yourself," I said staring at his deep green eyes, "I can't believe this day almost didn't happen."
"But it did, now we have forever together," Edward said pulling me closer to him, "I am so sorry that our honeymoon is going to be short."
"If I'm with you, I don't care, I wouldn't need a honeymoon to be happy," I told him.
"I know, but I would feel better if we weren't worry about the coronation so soon after our wedding."
"Edward, honey, I'm not worried about it, you are," I said kissing him lightly, "I love you, let's just focus on tonight."
"You're right, I apologize, this is the greatest night of my life," he said, we stopped dancing and he kissed my hands, "The night you became Mrs.
Cullen, Princess of Denmark."
