The big day

((((i do not own any of the characters or anything else from twilight!! So big lawyer people, NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED!!!)))))

(Bella's POV)

I stood in Edward's room, letting Rose and Alice and Esme dress me and dote on me all they wanted. Then Esme stepped up to me and kissed my cheek.

"Sweetie, you look beautiful!!! Now, do you remember that old rhyme, about something old, something new?..."

"Something borrowed something blue?" I finished.

"Yes!!" Esme exclaimed, clearly pleased that I new the old rhyme that I figured everyone must know.

Then she stepped into the hallway for a split second and grabbed something. "Well," she said quietly, "I have something that I would really like for you to wear, something old, that I used on my wedding day." Esme opened the little black velvet box, pulling out two dazzling, twinkling blobs of diamond. She came up to my ears, and pushed them through the holes. "They look even more beautiful on you than they did on me!!!" she exclaimed.

Next, Carlisle slipped soundlessly into the room, grasping another velvety black box. "I have something new, a wedding present from me to you!" he said, opening the little box. A necklace that matched the earrings perfectly slipped out of the box and into his flawless, waiting hand. He stepped up to me and draped it around my neck, the cool gold slipping over my warm skin. I started to tear up. (necklace on search for wedding charm necklace)

Rosalie came up to me and opened my hand. In it she stuck a tiny charm bracelet with a gown charm on it. "I also wore this on my wedding day. You can borrow it for the wedding, I wanted to at least have a little part of me on you today."

Alice skipped daintily out of the room and down the hall. I heard a drawer open and close and then Alice was back. Out of her pocket she plucked a miniscule ring. A toe ring. It sported a little blue daisy on a white gold band that wrapped twice around my second toe. "and I have the blue! I'm proud to be a part of your family at long last, Bella. I'm so glad that Edward finally got over his little phase of not wanting you to be a vampire!"

"Thank you so much everyone!! I can't believe how benevolent you are all being!!" I said through the tears streaming down my face in long rivulets of warm, salty water.

"Bella, it's the least we could do after you saved Edward from a lifetime of solitude," said Carlisle.

"Plus, we like you!" said Alice. "Now, let's get you to the church before you become a waterfall!" Alice giggled.

When I stepped out of the long, gleaming white stretch limo and onto the frigid concrete of the street, my breath caught in my throat. It was a wet, soggy rainy day, of course, and the clouds were draped lazily over the sun, just as Alice had predicted. The little white church gleamed like the beacon of light from a lighthouse on the foggiest night of the year. I couldn't believe this was happening to my. My arms got goose bumps and my throat became thick as a frog shoved down my vocal chords. Then, after somehow walking up the steps and into the church (I don't remember telling myself to walk!), I saw Edwards shining face.

I knew if he could cry, then he definitely would be right now. His smile was plastered on his face and he was so happy he looked like a clown. I giggled, imagining my Edward in a floppy yellow polka-dotted jumpsuit, big red shoes, and a squeaky red nose. As the music started and Charlie walked me down the aisle, I knew there was no place either of us would rather be. I didn't even notice the radiance of my soon-to-be sisters, much less my mother.

The wedding seemed to be going by in a flash, and after what seemed like only five minutes, we were already to the "I-do" part. It was the best wedding I could ever imagine. When the priest said "I know pronounce you husband and wife" tears started streaming down my face. I thought I might melt and never even get to become a vampire when Edward's sweet lips touched mine.

I never even noticed the women creeping through a side door behind Edward.

A/N--ugh,I know, so short,and not sweet enough! i've been trying to think of a good way to do this chapter for the LONGEST time, and i just can't think of anything! huge writer's block! but i decided you guys needed something, after all, i've kept you waiting long enough. i'm gonna try to get another chapter up soon, if you guys still like the story after this chapter. i just couldn't think of anything. anyways, there will probably only be two or three more chapters until the end, so i'll really try to make them long and better!!.
