Hey, guys! We did not reach the double chapter mark, but I've got a better deal. 130 by tomorrow afternoon for two chapters. I'll even start the first chapter early just in case. It's all you guys. Thank you to everyone who updated last chapter, y'all are great!

There are a lot of time jumps in this chapter because I don't like writing out wedding planning and stuff, and I am really bad at it. The good thing here, though, is that all of you get quick snippets of stuff for the wedding.

Hope you guys enjoy!

"What do you think, elegant or old English?" I asked Jasper as I held up two different invitations.

He appraised them with a critical eye. "Elegant."

I nodded with a smile. That was my choice. I set that example aside and wrote it down in the binder I had started for the wedding. It may seem a little crazy to do such a thing, but it sure was helping me. I had stored pictures from magazines, pictures I had taken, outlines of the way things were going to go, where they would be placed. I flipped through the magazine beside me. I was trying to find the right table cloths.

"Here you go, darlin'," Jasper said.

I turned to see him holding out a piece of paper with the guest list. We had been able to talk it out to 250 guests. It was still a lot, in my opinion, but Jasper knew a lot of people, and I was not about to be the reason that they did not get to come. I took it in my hand, and he sat in the chair beside mine, looking over the piles upon piles of things I had stacked out all over the table. I glanced over the list to find family members, school friends, more vampires that I had yet to meet. Man was I in for it.

I set the list aside and began scanning over centerpiece descriptions. I did this for about twenty minutes as Jasper flipped through the binder. I got to the very back of the book and sighed. I shook my head but stopped when something caught my eye. It was a picture in the bottom corner of a glass vase with a wide dark blue ribbon. The bottom of the vase was filled with white marbles that floated in water. Roses stuck out from the top in a beautiful bouquet mixed with tall bright green plants. It was absolutely perfect.

I reached over and, ignoring Jasper's hand, wrote the description and number of the centerpiece with the number I needed. I grabbed the scissors and cut the picture and description out before slipping it into the slot on the page. I gazed back at the rest of the table and dropped back against the chair. I had a lot of work to do. Jasper chuckled at my emotions.

I looked at him and smiled. He pecked my lips before going back to the binder. This was going to take a while, but I was going to have my dream wedding with my dream man. Honestly? I think it will be absolutely perfect.

*** Next Day ***

Rose's POV

If I had been a told a month ago that I would actually begin to enjoy being around a human, I would have laughed loudly and called the person crazy. But now, well, now I did not mind. Bella really was not that bad once you hung out with her a little. She was pretty cool. Sure, I was not happy with her choices in this whole matter, but it seemed like she had gotten more mature with her priorities since she and Jasper got together.

That was a shock to my system, though. Alice and Jasper always felt a little off to one another, but I had always chocked it up to me not knowing a thing about their relationship. Turns out, I was right. Jasper and Bella did hold their qualities together. She kept him in line, and he kept her confident. It was pretty fair trade in my opinion.

But right now it was me, Esme, and Bella, without Jasper, and I was beginning to see the effects. Bella was having fun with me and Esme, I could tell, but look into that girl's eyes and you can see that he is on her mind. Not that I'm surprised, really, but I kind of wanted this to be a special thing for the three of us. Esme was gaining Bella as a daughter, and I was gaining a less irritating sister. Bella held herself differently than me, Alice, or Esme ever do. She had an air of confidence, but she was also extremely aware of her flaws. I liked that about her. She was on a different level than all of us.

Alice worries about her fashion. Esme held her family on a pedestal. I worried about my vanity. Bella thought about everything, in depth. It was fascinating. Her human mind had begun to work like ours in the way that she could think about so many things at once, and she was beginning to use it to her advantage.

Like now, for instance. An image of Jasper was burned into the back of her eyelids, but she was having a lot of fun, it seemed, with me and Esme. We had been discussing wedding plans and such the entire way to the dress shop today, and it had been wonderful. At this moment, Esme and I had been sitting on the entourage couch waiting for Bella to come out in a dress for the past few minutes. Bella was excited about the whole thing, but she was scared stiff by the price of the dress. Jasper had had to convince her numerous times that the price was nothing. Hopefully, she would get that through her thick skull.

Esme turned, and I heard her gasp slightly as Bella walked out in the first dress. The dress was gorgeous, I'll admit, but even now I could see that Bella thought little of it. The dress was A-line, strapless with beading across the sweetheart neckline. A wide band of crystals swirled in intricate designs beneath the bust line. The front of the dress was flat satin. Bella stepped onto the platform and looked at herself in the mirror. The back of the dress was laced. The back of the skirt was ruffled satin with mesh weaved in. I tilted my head and looked at Bella's face in the mirror as she turned to check every angle of the dress.

"What do you think, dear?" Esme asked, as she, too, appraised the dress.

Bella tilted her head and looked up and down at herself. Her eyes met mine in the mirror. "What do you think, Rose?"

I shrugged. "I think the dress was beautiful, but I can't seem to picture you walking down the aisle in it."

She nodded. "Me either."

"Well, we have plenty of other dresses to choose from. Let's go try on the next dress, okay?" Scarlett, the consultant, said.

She lifted the back of the dress as Bella lifted the front and carefully maneuvered off the platform. Even in flats she was a downright klutz. Jasper found it adorable, but in order to keep it from getting in the way of her big day, Bella had decided to resort to wearing flats. Crystal covered ones that were very cute and fitting for the occasion. I had tried her to talk her out of it, but she had said it would be safer. I could not argue with that logic.

The rustle of a dress caught my attention and Bella walked up to the platform. Scarlett smoothed out the bottom of the mermaid style dress and took a step back. The dress was halter with a beaded ribbon across the waist. The top was plain satin and the neckline was very deep. All around the bottom of the skirt was a beaded wave design. The back of the dress was held together with buttons from underneath the shoulder blades to just under Bella's backside.

I raised my eyebrows and could not help myself from embarrassing Bella just a little. "Wow," I said.

Bella looked at me. "What?"

I shook my head slightly. "Oh, nothing, I just did not know you had boobs like that."

Esme and Scarlett laughed as Bella blushed. What? The dress made her breasts look fantastic. Even I could admit that.

"Thanks for that, Rose, I guess," Bella mumbled.

I smiled. "Welcome."

Bella sighed. "Okay, besides the fact that my knockers look better," she gave me a pointed look to which I returned a wide, dangerous smile, "I don't feel like a bride in this dress. It just doesn't work with me. I think it's too…sexy?"

Esme nodded. "I agree. But this proves that you could go that way if you found a dress you liked. You're beautiful in anything, Bella. Now, you just need to find the dress that makes you feel as amazing as you already are."

Bella smiled and lifted the dress, stepping off the platform. "Onto dress number 3."

Scarlett and Bella disappeared into the dressing room. My eyes wandered around the room as I checked out the other dresses. Nothing seemed to fit Bella. The dress needed to be elegantly simple while also being a big statement. Nothing was fitting the bill. I passed over the manikins covered in silk, satin, you name it before my eyes stopped on the perfect dress. I got up and pulled it. I hurried back to the dressing room and tapped on the door. Scarlett opened the door with a smile.

I matched her smile and handed her the dress. "Please, have Bella try this one now."

She nodded. Bella peeked over her shoulder at me. "I will, Rosalie. We'll be out soon."

She shut the door, and I walked back to the couch. Esme looked at me curiously, she had seen my entire freak over that one dress. I just smiled and shrugged. I was ready to see Bella in the dress, excited even. I knew that she would love it. It had her name written all over it.

"You'll see," I told her.

The door opened and Bella walked out, smiling brightly. Esme looked over and gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. My smile was so wide it felt like it went from one ear to the other. Bella stepped up onto the platform as Scarlett walked off to get a veil.

The dress was mermaid style covered in lace with beading mixed into the fabric. The top of the dress cut off at a sweetheart neckline and the lace swept up over her shoulders and down the open back area. Lace sleeves ran down her arms. On the top of her hands the lace form a triangle shape and a small string wrapped around her middle fingers. The back of the dress was see-through lace with beading. Delicate buttons ran along the back of the dress. It was absolutely gorgeous.

I looked up at Bella's face in the mirror to see her smiling at herself with a few tears falling down her cheeks. Scarlett showed up and brushed Bella's hair back to place a long, beaded, cathedral veil in her hair. She pulled the veil and spread it out so it laid on Bella's shoulders lightly. Bella breathed heavily and more tears fell down her cheeks.

"Oh, Bella, you are absolutely stunning," Esme told her as she walked to stand beside Bella.

Bella smiled and continued to stair at her reflection. "Thank you, Esme. Rose?"

I walked to stand on her other side. I looked up at her. She turned to me and wrapped her arms around me. I smiled and hugged her back. She pulled away and laughed a little as she wiped her eyes with a tissue Scarlett handed her. I smiled with her and Esme patted Bella's shoulder.

"The dress is gorgeous, Rose. I'm really, really happy you saw it. It's perfect," Bella said.

I nodded. She turned back to the mirror.

"So, Bella, is this the dress?" Scarlett asked.

Bella looked herself up and down one more time before nodding her head excitedly. "This is the dress." She laughed.

Esme clapped happily. Bella went back to change into her clothes as Esme paid for the dress. Surprisingly, the dress was an exquisite fit, even with the flats, so we got to walk out with it. We placed the delicate dress in the car carefully. We hopped into the car and made our way home. I turned from the passenger seat to see Bella looking out the window with a smile on her face. I looked back to the front, my eyes meeting Esme's.

"It will be perfect," she said so only I could hear.

I nodded my head. Yes, it will be.

*** A Week Later ***

Esme, Angela, and I had been flipping through multiple dresses for the past hour. You would think it would be easier to find the proper bridesmaids dresses, but it was beginning to be irritatingly hard.

"What about this, Bella?" Angela asked as she held up a long black, mermaid style dress that had beading across the top. I turned to Bella as she appraised it.

"It's beautiful, but black is a sad color. Wedding's aren't supposed to be sad. Sorry, Angela," she replied.

Angela shrugged. "It's fine. Worth a shot, though."

Bella wondered over to where I was and started looking through the dresses I had not yet reached. She got through the rest of the rack and moved onto the next one. She stopped and lifted up a dress.

"This is the one," she said.

The three of us walked over to her as she held the dress up. It was a long A-line in dark blue. It had parallel straps with a deep sweetheart neckline. The straps and neckline were covered in crystals. A wide silver band ran just under the bust line.

"Wow," Angela breathed.

Bella smiled. "I know. It's amazing. Here, Rose."

She handed me the dress as Esme and Angela grabbed a dress in their sizes. We each went into a dressing room. I hung up the dress and glanced at the tag. Huh. Right size. I shrugged. Bella probably knew. I changed quickly and zipped the dress up. Perfect fit. I walked out just as the other girls did. Bella was sitting in a chair next to the three-way mirror and gasped as we emerged. We each took turns looking in the mirror at ourselves. The dress worked for each of us.

"They are perfect!" Bella squealed, clapping her hands. The three of us laughed at her, but she waved it off. "Do you like it?"

We all nodded with smiles. They were beautiful.

Bella looked at each of us speculatively before getting up and walking to the attendant. Esme and I zoned her out as she spoke to the girl. The girl disappeared and came back with three bits of black fabric. Bella handed each of us one. I held it up for inspection. It was a short jacket with long sleeves and an open front. We slipped them on and stood side by side in front of the mirror. Bella smiled as she stood next to Esme.

"All of you are extremely gorgeous," Bella complimented us. We passed on our thanks before getting changed. Soon after the dresses were purchased, and the hard work was done. We all chatted about the wedding on the way home. I was getting excited for it. I never pictured Bella in the setting of an extravagant wedding, but that was exactly what she was describing. It all sounded amazing. I knew it would be wonderful. The wedding of the year.

*** Two Months Later ***

Bella's POV

I snapped the phone shut and walked away from the window with a smile on my face. "Done," I announced.

Jasper whipped his head around to me in shock. Emmett laughed as he killed off the last of Jasper's team on the came. I sat down on the couch as Rosalie shook her head as she looked at her nails.

"Only you, Bella, could plan an entire 250 guest wedding in two months with every detail included," she said and dropped her hand.

Jasper chuckled and got back into his game. I smiled at Rose. Jasper snarled as Emmett began to win. I shook my head. They got too competitive sometimes, I had to admit. I had convinced them to take the annoyance level while playing to a dull roar, but I often found myself reminding them of it as their games grew more intense.

"Am I going to get any hints for the honeymoon?" Jasper asked as he played.

I giggled. "Nope." I had been keeping the place of a honeymoon a secret since I had officially made the plans. It had practically driven Jasper up a wall. He had resorted to trying to irritate it out of me as he asked about it everyday, but I was adamant. He was not going to know a thing.

Jasper groaned, both at my rejection to answer his question and his falling men. He dropped the controller on the table and moved over to me. He lifted me up and set me into his lap. Emmett sat their blankly for a moment before setting his eyes on Jasper.

"Dude, come on. You could have gotten me back," Emmett stated.

Jasper nodded. "Yes, I could have, but I would like to spend some time with my fiancee, if you don't mind."

Then, he stood. I hopped onto his back and he carried me piggy back style out the door.

"Loser!" We heard Emmett behind us. We both chuckled.

Jasper walked a calm, but slightly faster than human speed, into the forest. I buried my face into his back as he hopped up into a tree that overlooked the valley. He rested me on a sturdy branch before sitting beside me. I grasped the branch in my hands as I looked out over the valley.

"Is everything ready to go for the big day?" Jasper asked.

I smiled as I watched a small doe stumble through the grass. "Yes." I looked at him. "Everything will be perfect."

He smiled. "I don't doubt it. You've been vibrating with excitement since all the planning started. "

I rolled my eyes. "No, I was stressed. Now, I'm excited because I'm finished."

He chuckled. "You had some stressed moments, but I always calmed you down." He winked suggestively.

I blushed lightly and looked away. He had distracted me alright. But not with his power, oh no. He had decided to distract me in a more intimate way. I shivered. That man was good at everything. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Now was not the time for thoughts like that. I turned to see him smirked. I pushed my shoulder against his.

"That is not funny." I tried to say that in a firm manner, but my smile was a dead give away.

"Oh, yes it is. You know it, too. Besides, it's no big deal. I'll distract any day," he breathed the last sentence in my ear.

I shook my head and jokingly pushed him away. He smiled as he moved away. He looked cocky. I winced shortly.

"I better be the only one you're ever distracting, Major," I told him.

His arm went around my waist, and he rubbed my side. "Don't worry, darlin'. You will always be the only one."

I leaned my head against his shoulder. "Tell me," he said a moment later, "is there anywhere in particular you would like to visit?"

I thought a moment. "Probably Rome. Oh, and England," I replied.

"That all?" he wondered.

"That's all I can think of right now. I'll get back to you if I think of any more."

He chuckled and tightened his hold. "Okay, angel."

"Do you think Edward and Alice will actually come?" I asked quietly.

Jasper was silent for a moment. "I'm honestly not sure." He rubbed my side gently. "Don't worry about it, sweetheart. It's our day, not theirs. It will be best day of the year, no matter what."

I turned my head to smile at him and give him a quick kiss. He smiled as our lips brushed together. I pulled away to breath and rested my forehead against his.

"I feel like I don't say this enough," I said, "but I love you very much, Jasper. I may give you silly nicknames and tease you, but I would do anything for you. No matter what," I whispered.

He smiled. "I love you, Bella. I will give you the best life, I promise. Forever is just the beginning, and it will never be enough time for me to have you by my side."

I smiled sweetly. I dropped my head down so it rested under his chin. His torso was turned towards me so it was still comfortable. I lifted my arms and wrapped them around him under his jacket. I reached under his shirt and rubbed his back. He buried his face in my hair, sighing at the warmth.

"You are much too good for me, angel," he breathed.

"Never," I chuckled.

He smiled into my neck and placed a butterfly kiss there. I giggled a little. He pulled away slightly. My hands passed along his back and landed on his sides as he set his forehead against mine again. He brushed his nose against mine in a very adorable Eskimo kiss. He pulled back and looked at me.

"Bella," he breathed. Our first kiss flashed across my mind as I remembered him saying my name the exact same way now as then.

Just like our first, he leaned in slowly. His lips caressed mine softly before his tongue asked for entrance. I smiled against his lips and allowed it. His tongue brushed against mine as sweetly as the first time it had. I moaned deep in my chest as his vibrated with a quiet purr. I gasped and pulled away as a raindrop landed on my cheek. I looked up through the trees. My eyes met his again.

I smiled widely. "Wow," I quoted him from our first kiss.

He chuckled. "Just like the first time."

I nodded happily.

"Come on. I can't get a cold, but you sure can. We should be heading back home," he said.

He scooped me up and jumped from the tree. He took off through the trees. He put me into the passenger seat of his car in front of the Cullen mansion before materializing in the driver's seat. We waved at Esme and Carlisle through the window before Jasper backed out and drove down the driveway. He hit the highway and floored it. I laughed. He did not drive as fast as the others, but he loved kicking it into gear. He smiled at me widely.

I placed my hand on his thigh as he drove. He glanced at me lovingly. I leaned over and brushed a few short kisses along his neck. I leaned away slightly and brushed my free hand over his cheek as he looked at me, carefully while he was driving.

"Forever," I whispered in his ear.

Suddenly, his smiled at me and rolled down his window. I pushed away from him, laughing as the rain fell into the car.

He leaned out the window slightly. He was still driving perfectly, though, so I was okay with it.

"I've got forever with Bella Swan!" he yelled out.

I died out laughing, holding my stomach. He rolled the window back up, smiling like Emmett when he plays a good prank. I lifted my feet to the seat and raised my arm to push on his shoulder.

"I was trying to be serious," I joked.

He chuckled. "No, my dear, what I did was extremely serious," he stated seriously.

I shook my head and looked up. If he could flood the car, so could I. I opened up the sunroof and lifted onto my knees so my head, shoulders, chest, and arms were out. I could hear Jasper laughing loudly.

"I've got forever with Jasper Whitlock!" I screamed, my head tilted back so the rained soaked my face and hair. I dropped back into the seat and closed the window. Jasper was still chuckling.

"No, my dear, what I did was extremely serious." I winked.

He smiled and grabbed my hand. "I love you." He smirked. "Even though you're crazy."

I rolled my eyes, smiling. "I love you." I copied him. "Even though you always have to make a joke."

We both laughed. Forever like this. How much better could it get?

Unfortunately, I would have to wait and find out. On the bright side, the wait would be extremely worth it. I looked at my happy man. Yes, totally worth it.

So, what did you think? Haha. I hope this was good enough for everybody.
