Two Years Later ~ EPOV

Bella was still as lovely as ever and today was her nineteenth birthday. And today.. I figured was the best day to bring up marriage to Bella. And I had the perfect way planned. I had Bella go out and pick a perfect outfit for a great date tonight... so I could speak to the family alone. My family was curious about what I needed to speak with them about. "Edward? What is it?" Esmé asked.

"I... I am.." I took an unecessary swallow and looked at everyone. "I have decided to ask Bella to marry me tonight." Everyone gasped and smiled.

"Good for you son." Carlisle said. "May we see the ring you want to present her with?" Carlisle asked. I smiled and nodded.

"Well... yes." I was going to present her with one of the most amazing rings in my existence. I pulled it out of my pocket and my family crowded around Carlisle as I handed it to him. Carlisle and Esme's smiles grew wider than I had ever seen them.

"Oh my!" Rosalie gasped. "It's so beautiful."

"Thanks." I said. "It was my mothers." Rosalie nodded at me and asked how I received it. "Well... I received a lot of my mothers stuff and before my mother died she wrote a note and placed the ring and note in an envelope... the note... is still in my pocket..." I pulled out the note out and unfolded it. "It says...

My dearest Edward,

You deserve better than this. You don't deserve to be in a hospital at seventeen. You should be out there.

Having fun, meeting nice girls, being happy, safe, and healthy. And hopefully our nice Dr. Cullen can help you.

I know there is no way out of the diesease for me... I am to weak to fight it off much longer. But... my baby Edward...

This ring... is a token of my love for you. The love for my one and only child. And before I pass.. there is one thing I want to ask.

If you make it through this... if you survive, than the day that you meet a beautiful, pleasant, worthy girl of your choice... show your love to her with this ring.

That way, you will always know I love you.

Now... my baby Edward.. my time will be over soon, but I want to let you know.. mom loves you and know that I will watch over you every step of the way.

From your dearest mother,

Elizabeth Masen.

My heart felt warm as I read this and Carlisle smiled at me. "How are you going to do this proposal?" Carlisle asked.

"Well... I have found a special place I like to go and I plan for it to be a relaxing, very happy experience for Bella." I said. I heard sighs come from the women in the room. I chuckled at their reaction and ran upstairs to pack the car with five comforters, a CD player, Claire De Lune, Candles and candle holders, and wooden boxes to hold up the candles. I ran back into the house and ran to my room to change.

For me, there was a new atmosphere of excitement. I felt jittery, and happy, and a little anxious... what if she said no? But, no... Alice saw us get married so why should I fear Bella will say no? Bella was my world and the one who controled my heart... made my heart feel as if it beats again. And that's when I heard Bella pull into the driveway. My family smiled at me as I put the ring in my pocket, and walked outside. Bella came out with a bag and I grabbed ahold of the bag and lead her to my volvo. "Where are we going?" She asked.

"Well... There is something I want to show you." I said and helped her into the passanger side of the volvo and got in the drivers side. I could hear my family's thoughts as I pulled out of the driveway. Mostly they were telling me good luck.

We drove and drove about twenty miles away from the house to this foresty area I would come to when Bella hunted alone... it was so peaceful here and quiet, and the lake made it even better.. adding a natural element to tonight. Bella stayed in the car to change into her outfit in the back seat of the car while I unloaded the car, layed down the comforters, set up the wooden boxes, lit the candles, and put glass bulbs over the fire so the light wind wouldn't blow out the fire. Bella came out of the car in a brown leather jacket, a pair of skinny jeans, and a button up red flannel shirt over a white tank top, also wearing her favorite converse. The true image of perfection. "Bella, my love, you absolutely gorgeous." I said. She smiled and looked at me.

"Thanks... so what's with the special occasion?" She asked. I chuckled and pulled her towards the blanket and we both sat across from each other.

"Well... there is an important question that I want to ask you that could definetely change our lives." Bella got a little excited and worried.

"Well.. what is it?" She asked anxiously. I stood up, pulling her up with me and got down on one knee. I pulled the ring out of my pocket and looked at Bella, with longing, and love.

"My... dearest Isabella. I promise to love and to be there for you for all eternity. I promise to love you forever. I will love you for ever moment of our eternity together. Would you do me the extroardinary honor of marrying me?" Bella's hands clasped over her mouth and I stood up to be at her eyes view. She was smiling happily and wrapped her arms around me and kissed me.

"I would love to be your wife. For all eternity." She said. My body filled with excitement for this moment and I was completely happy... for once feeling I met the right girl and made the right choice as to follow my heart and fall in love with the most beautiful creature in the whole world.

Six Months Later ~ EPOV

I was getting ready in my room. Alice insisted that we have a good wedding. Just inviting a few friends we made here. I liked that better. Bella was upstairs adn I was anxious... more than normal. I didn't.. wasn't doubting anything... but It was just the thought of Bella and I's union and... our honeymoon later. I was excited to know... what it will be like later and I want to try to do this with out Emmet's help.. God! Him knowing this would put me in a position I don't want to be.

For the wedding today Bella wanted to change her last name to Warren for today so people wouldn't get suspisious.

I put on my Tuxedo and used some styling gel to tousel my hair slightly. I could hear Alice in the other room with Bella helping Bella into her dress and Rosalie was in there doing Bella's hair. I chuckled at Bella's irritation with being done up with makeup and doing her hair. It was kind of funny actually. And now.. I had to get to the alter. And now wait for my precious love. And see her glorious face.

Bella came down the aisle five minutes later and we met at the alter and took each others hands in the others. And began to speak our ceremony. The priest was smiling as he began.

"Ladies and Gentleman, we are here to celebrate the union of Isabella Warren and Edward Cullen. Please begin your vows. Mr. Cullen. You first please." I turned to face Bella as a wide smile crept its way onto my face.

"Isabella, I love you. You are my best I give myself to you in marriage. I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you, and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle. I promise to love you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard, when our love is simple, and when it is an effort. I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in highest regardThese things I give to you today, and all the days of our life." Bella smiled and her eyes were gleaming.

"Now Ms. Warren." The priest instructed.

"Edward, I take you to be my husband from this time forward, to join you in this holy union and to share all the memories and laughter to come, to be your faithful wife, to give and to receive, to speak and to listen, to inspire and to respond. A commitment made in love and eternally made new. And because of you, I laugh and smile. I look forward to having great joy, spending the rest of my life with you, caring for you, being there for you, and I vow to be true and faithful for as long as we both shall live." I smiled and the priest looked at me.

"Now Mr. Cullen, do you wish to take Ms. Warren as your lawfully wedded wife?" He asked. With a voice of Conviction and gentleness.

"I do." I said gloriously.

"And Ms. Warren, do you with to take Mr. Cullen as your lawfully wedded husband?" A tear of venom streamed down her face and she looked at the priest.

"I do." She said. I smiled and we both looked at the priest.

"By the law invested me and the state of Alaska I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." I chuckled and looked at Bella... smiling at her. I put my hand behind her neck and touched my lips to hers.

The satisfaction of our holy union was not only great, but it was full of love, and I when we pulled away, Bella's eyes were happy and gleaming as we turned around towards the crowd, who cheered us on. Now next, was a big, big step in our relationship,

The Honeymoon.
