I knew I had to hurry and get dressed, Edward was waiting for me giving my some privacy. We were going to the rehearsal dinner together, Charlie wanted to take me but he was busy with mom and Phil.

Alice had given me a beautiful royal blue, off the shoulder dress. It was so soft against me skin, it felt like millions of caresses when I moved. The shoes were the ones that scared me a little, they were stilettos, the same royal blue as the dress, but what scared me was they were strapy barely there shoes, I was so nervous about them. I had a sinking feeling I was going to end up on the floor more than once tonight.

I was adjusting the strap of my stiletto when Alice walked in.

"Oh Bella!! You look amazing! I knew that dress would be perfect for you! Here let me help you with the shoes." She said excitedly.

"Alice." she looked up at me when I said her name. "Thank you for everything you've done for me. You are truly me sister." I felt tears in my eyes.

"Oh no you don't." she warned "Don't cry Bella, you're going to mess up you make up." Alice looked me in the eyes and hugged me. "I think of you like my sister too. I knew you and I would be like this one day."

"Of course you did, silly, you're a psychic." I said jokingly.

"Well yes but more than that I knew you had changed Edward from the first moment you two saw each other. And of course being psychic helps." she said smiling.

"I think I'm ready, walk with me Alice. I'm not to confident in these shoes you gave me." I said.

Alice took my arm and led me to the stairs, when she let me go I looked at her.

"I'll go down first, so you can make a big entrance." Alice said.

"Alice, Alice." I called but she was gone. I took a deep breath and steadied myself. I can do this without killing myself. Edward was waiting. I just had to keep repeating that to myself.

I took one step down, took another deep breath and descended the stairs. Edward was at the bottom of the stairs talking to Alice, but then he saw me.

He was so utterly beautiful in his black suit. His bronze hair was combed in a neat mess, it was asking for hands to be run through it. Before the end of the night my hands were going to bury themselves in it. He smiled my favorite crooked smile and that was all the confidence I needed. That's all I needed to know I was his and he was mine.

He held out his hand and I took it, he leaned down and kissed me gently on the lips.

"I didn't think it was possible, but you are more beautiful than ever." he whispered.

"Come on you two we're going to be late." Alice said pushing us to the door.

"Alice wait." I said to Alice

"No Bella, psychic remember. You two can resume this later, right now we have to go." she smiled shaking her head.

It didn't take us long to get to the rehearsal dinner, our parents and friends were already waiting for us when we walked in. It was kind of embarrassing because everyone started clapping, but as we took our seats everyone settled down.

I knew I was blushing and my face was bright red. Edward brushed his thumb over my cheek and smiled, "I'm going to miss that." he whispered to me.

After dinner, my dad Charlie stood up with his glass in his hand. I knew he hated speaking in public as much as I did so this was going to be hard on him.

"To my Bella, may she have many years of love and happiness. I only had her for a short time but I know she's in good hands with Edward. To Bella." he said as if holding back the tears. Everyone raised their glasses and toasted.

Next was Carlisle, he smiled at us and something silent passed between him and Edward that made Edward bow his head and smile shyly.

"From the time We've had Edward, we worried he would never find someone special. It took us by surprise when he came home and told us Bella was the one for him. After everything he has been through I'm glad he found Bella." he raised his glass and smiled at us.

Everyone took a turn to toast us, I was in tears and Edward had my head tucked between his head and his shoulder, and my mom and Esme were rubbing my back trying to settle my tears.

"I want to toast the happy couple" I looked up to see Jacob standing with a glass in his hand. He was wearing a dark brown suit, he looked very handsome.

I stood up and waved my hand telling Jacob to go ahead.

"To my friend Bella, may her life with Edward be long and painless. And to Edward may you always know what you have and never grow complacent." he ducked his head, "I wish you the very best." he raised his glass and took a long drink. I was about to go to him when he turned and walked out.

Edward came up behind me and hugged me. "You alright love?"

I smiled and turn to look in to his eyes, "more than alright. I have you."
