"This is beautiful mom, great work," I kiss my mothers cheek as I look out over the back yard. A big white party tent is on one side of the yard, in it there are tables ready to be used after the wedding. On the other side on the yard there are benches in rows where our guests will be sitting during the ceremony.
"Do you think Isabella will like it?" Esme asks and I smile to ease her worry.
"How can she not? This is incredible," I say and straighten out my tie. My mom turns around from the window we were staring out from and fix my suit jacket.
"You look so handsome son! Isabella is a lucky woman to have you," mom says and I laugh.
"You have to say that, you are my mom," Esme laughs as well and shrugs her shoulders.
"It's almost time. I have to go down to prepare the last of the food. We will let you know when Isabella has arrived so you can come down stairs," mom tells me and I nod at her. Even if this isn't a 'real' wedding I do believe that a groom shouldn't see his bride before the wedding. I don't know if it's superstition or if it's just that I want to be surprised when I see my bride walking down the aisle.
"Brother, you ready?" Emmett's voice reaches me before I hear him open the door to my room.
"Absolutely," I say and turn around. I have waited for this day my whole life, the day when I get to take over my familys company. The papers have already been drawn up and Eleazar is bringing them here so we can look them over after the wedding.
"Isabella is in the room next door with her mom. It's time to come downstairs so people can start to take their seats," Emmett says and holds the door open for me. I smile at him as I walk by him out the room. Even if this is just something I do to get Eleazars business I feel nervous and happy today. It is my wedding day and I don't know if I will ever get married again so I will treasure this day no matter what. As I walk down the stairs I see people mingling in the living room. I see Rosalie talking to my very excited mom. My childhood friend Jasper with his wife Alice. And of course Eleazar with his family, including Tanya. I start to walk to them when I am stopped by a figure crossing my way.
"Hey, Edward right? I'm Reilly, Bellas brother," a short man with a shaved head says. He reaches his hand forward to shake mine but I make no movement.
"I know who you are. It's your fault that Bella is in this position," I say and look down at him. I am incredibly happy for his foolishness in one way, it lead me to Bella. But no brother should ever get their sister in this situation, forcing her to marry a stranger to pay off his debts.
"I would rather say I'm the one she needs to thank! Look at this place!" Reilly gives a low whistle as he looks around the room. I snort and shakes my head. People like him are impossible to deal with.
"I'm sorry but I have to go get ready," I say and motions out to the back yard with my hand.
"Yeah, of course man," Reilly says and steps to the side allowing me to pass by him. I look up and see Eleazar and his family on their way outside, I guess I'll talk to him later.
"Come on son, I'll walk you to your place. It's time," my father says and put his hand on my shoulder. I nod my head, straighten out my suit jacket one more time and walks with him down the aisle to my place at the end together with the priest.
"Nervous?" my dad asks half way down. I nod and takes a deep breath. This is really happening. "You can still make a run for it," my dad jokes and I laugh nervously. I shouldn't be the one running.
"No, I am ready," I say as I take my place next to Emmett.
"That you are son," dad says and gives me a proud smile.
