Ok so this is a chapter that's really for the girls who love shopping (ALICE FANS). Shopping in Paris is one of my favourite things to do! Enjoy!
It wasn't long before Alice pulled me from my dad and immediately started talking dresses, cake, guests, shoes ect… she vowed it would be the most perfect wedding anyone ever had in the world.
The next few days were tense at home. Edward was trying his best to hide it but I knew he wasn't happy. Bella wasn't happy either but she didn't try to hide it like Edward.
'You're too young Renesmee, please wait' she pleaded
I just shook my head at her. 'You don't understand' I told her
'No I don't. You are absolutely right Renesmee; I cannot possibly fathom why a sixteen year old girl would want to get married'
'Because I love him, I couldn't possibly fathom why a young girl would become a vampire and leave behind her own family' I snapped back. I instantly regretted it and I could see the hurt on my mother's face as she walked out of the room.
Apparently the next day however I was all forgiven. Me, Bella, Alice, Rose and Esme were all going dress shopping. We would be going to Paris to get my wedding dress and shoes and I was very excited, although we would only be staying two nights I would miss Jacob terribly.
We took a private jet and the flight was long. I was asleep for the most part. Bella woke me when we landed. I had never seen Alice so excited. She had never been to Paris and wanted to go to the most expensive dress shops. We shopped for hours literally, my feet were about to drop off. I had tried on about 1000 dresses and dozens of pairs of shoes, accessories, makeup, everything. Bella was the one to remind them all I still was half human and had to rest and eat and go to the toilet but they weren't very patient. Half the shops we went into I hadn't even heard of before, we went to Monsieur Loubotin, Chanel, Dior, Isabel Marant, Maje and a lot of others. I had liked many dresses there but Alice didn't care for them. She bought me all the shoes I tried on and that she liked and about 100 pieces of different jewellery. When the sky was starting to set and it was beginning to get dark I was beginning to get very tired. Alice said we would have to get my dress somewhere else but I spotted a little dress shop on the corner of the street cosied next to a little hot chocolate shop. METAL FLAQUE it was named and it looked pretty. Alice looked doubtful but we went in there anyway. After all it was my wedding. Everyone else had already had theirs.
There was a kind lady there waiting to greet us, she had bronze reddish hair similar to mine but it wasn't shiny or curly and she was a little plump. She showed us to a rack of dresses at the back and nothing really called my attention until I spotted a dress right on the end. It was white and strapless and it flowed gently with lace all embroidered into a beautiful pattern at the back. It was simple and so beautiful; I instantly fell in love with it. I knew Alice was dead set on Vera Wang or Alexander McQueen designing my dress but I didn't need all that fancy stuff.
'Mom I like this one' I exclaimed as I held it up.
'It's beautiful Renesmee, so perfect, just right for you' she said. Rose and Esme agreed it was beautiful.
Alice held it up in front of her eyeing it
'It's okay Nessie, but it's a little plain, are you sure you want this one?'
I nodded.
'Well, okay, but we can at least put some crystals on it to match you ring and jewellery?'
I frowned. I liked it the way it was but I said yes anyway, it would make Alice happy and I'd look like a real princess wearing crystals. I tried it on and they all told me I was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen, there were a few alters to be made but hardly any, the woman said it would be done by tomorrow night (Alice had paid her extra to get it done faster.) Alice popped off into a shop when we were on the way back to the hotel to buy her diamond crystals which would cost an absolute fortune. She said she wanted to go buy herself so no one made a fuss about the price. She said once we were back home she would attatch the crystals herself.
After a hot chocolate and bagel I was falling asleep soon as my head hit the big comfy pillow on the huge king-size bed back in the hotel. Alice, Esme and Rose were going to go midnight shopping, more things for the wedding I guessed. Bella was staying here with me and she lay right next to me until I fell asleep.
The next day in Paris was fun. I had never got to see much of the world because of my speeding growth. I had had to stay hidden away a lot until I was grown but exploring Paris was amazing. We went all the way to the top of the Eiffel tower, we wanted to jump but Bella and Esme said no in case anyone was watching. We went to Disneyland, we ate at a really expensive French restaurant (well I ate) and then we had a boat ride on Canal Saint Martin. Alice took hundreds of pictures. I had so much fun, it was great to get away from everything for just once in a while and just have fun like the young teenager I was supposed to be. I felt like for the first time in ages I finally was able to be a child. I slept in the hotel again and Bella woke me at 7:00 in the morning, our flight was at 11:00. It took 4 giant crates to hold all the stuff we had bought, Alice had also bought diamond decorations and goodness knows what else to decorate with. I was glad of my time in Paris but I was happy to be going back to Jake now. I also had missed Edward a lot aswell.
I think I was starting to get better with learning to control my emotions, I had learnt to stop crying at everything and to not be so impatient but it was hard. Sometimes my head would ache and I would get stressed. Life is hard when you're supposed to be eight years old yet you're physically sixteen/seventeen and mentally even older! I felt like I didn't really know who I was sometimes, whether I was a vampire or a human or eight or sixteen and it did get me upset. But as soon as I jumped off the plane and saw Jake standing there with his arms open waiting for me I felt complete.
So I thought this was a cute chapter! More wedding chapters ahead! Hope you enjoy and REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! :-):)
