Chapter 14

The Wedding

[Bella P.O.V.]

"Alice!" I yelled gripping her shoulders, shaking them slightly. "Calm down! Rose and Esme have everything handled. You just need to worry about yourself. This is your day!" Her eyes widened and she nodded. "Okay. Good... Now don't worry on how the rest of us look. We're focused on you! So turn around and face the mirror and stay quiet as Rose and I work on you." Well not really me... more of Rose and Esme...

She nodded and turned to the mirror. "Deep breaths Alice." I said gripping her shoulders. She nodded and did as she was told. "She's ready Rose!" I called out the bathroom door.

Rose and Esme quickly piled into the large bathroom. "Thank you Bella. Now go get dressed." Rose shooed me away and I slipped out of the bathroom without a complaint. I sighed and smiled as I left the bedroom and headed up to the last room which I had come to know very well. I walked in and closed the door behind me. I turned around and smiled and threw myself into his arms.

Edward laughed. "Hello love!" He said kissing me delicately and placing my feet back on the floor. "Alice is taken care of I presume?"

"Yup! I'm telling you, she's really stressing out over it all... I'm just glad Rose and Esme are doing her hair... I wouldn't have been able to do it." I chuckled and looked up at Edward as he looked down and kissed me lightly.

"Alice is normally the one wanting to plan and run the weddings... not the one going up to the alter herself... She'll be fine though..." He picked me up and carried me to sit on the bed as I giggled helplessly. "Oh and guess who's here?"

Uh oh... who could be here...? "I don't know... who?" I asked worried.

He smiled. "Calm down love..." he whispered brushing my hair away from my face. That reminded me... I had to get dressed... "Your father has made it home and is coming to the wedding." He said with a large smile.

I jumped up. "Charlie is here!?" I asked.

He nodded with a smile.

My face lit up and I dashed out of the room, down the hall and taking the stairs two at a time. As I hit the bottom step I tripped and fell into someone. "Ooof!"

The person caught me as I struggled to stand up. I looked up to meet the humoured eyes of my father. "Dad!" I yelled hugging him. He laughed and hugged me back.

"Hey Bells, did ya miss me?" He asked laughing.

I laughed too. "Of course I did! I was stuck with Emmett for three weeks and was stuck being Alice's barbie half the time along with wedding plans and shopping!" I exclaimed laughing. I was surprised by how much I had missed my dad.

"So how did you heard about the wedding?" I asked.

He smiled and nodded up the stairs where Edward was descending. "Edward called and let me know." I released my dad and righted myself as my face lit up looking at Edward. He reached the bottom step and I hugged him around the waist tightly. He laughed and hugged me back.

"Bella, Edward!" Rose was standing at the top of the staircase. "Esme says get dressed. Edward, you're in charge of Jasper and Emmett." she yelled then noticed Charlie. "Hey Charlie, lookin' nice!" She put her thumbs up and disappeared back into Alice's fortress of doom...

I looked at Charlie. "Awe Dad, you do look good!" I exclaimed as I looked at the grey suit he was wearing.

His cheeks turned red slightly and he looked down. I laughed and hugged him again.

He hugged me back. "Go get dressed Bells." I nodded and grabbed Edward's hand as I pulled us up the stairs.

Once the door closed to his room, I kissed him smiling. "Thank you!" I squealed as he laughed.

"Of course Bella. Besides, he would want to see Alice get married as well. You just get to see him sooner than later." he shrugged with his crooked smile. "Now, get in that bathroom and get dressed, your things are already in there."

I nodded and went into the bathroom to put my dress on. As soon as I had slipped it on, someone beat on the door. "I'm also done!" I called out. The door opened and Rosalie slipped in.

"We have 10 minutes to fix that thing you call your hair and face." She said. "Sit." She pushed a chair under me and I fell into it. I closed my eyes and waited until she would finish.

"So when are you and Emmett tying the knot?" I asked relaxing in my chair as she pulled a brush through my hair.

She paused momentarily then resumed. "I don't know..." She mumbled.

I eased open an eye and looked at her. "Rose... what's wrong?"

"I- I just don't think he's going to ever ask me to marry him..." she said quietly as she straightened my hair.

Oh... "Of course he will Rose, he just needs a little pushing about it. My big brother is stubborn, you know this!"

She nodded solemnly. "Enough about me and Emmett... how about you and Edward?" she asked with a grin that I saw through the mirror.

I chuckled. "He's amazing... but I'm not sure that marriage is anywhere in our line of sight at the moment... especially since we're trying to keep it a secret..." Rose shrugged and I continued. "And for now, I'm content to keeping it just the way it is."

She nodded and just as she had said, was finished with my hair and make-up within 10 minutes. "Hold on Bella... let me go get Edward..." she said smiling at her work as she quickly left the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror... I looked amazing! I touched my hair softly to see if it was actually mine... sure enough, it was. Rose had straightened my hair and put up a small portion of my bangs up in a clip, the rest of my hair hung in strait lines along my pink dress.

My make-up wasn't over the top but you could tell I had on eye make-up. It had a natural look to it that I liked.

There was a small knock on the door. "Come in!" I called still looking at my reflection. The door opened and there was a sharp intake of breathe. I looked away from my reflection to see Edward's mouth agape as he stood in the doorway. I smiled and carefully made my way across the bathroom, I had on heels...

I pushed his jaw back up then did a little, careful, turn. "You like?" My hair and dress picked up in the air, twirling around me.

He smiled and grabbed my waist, pulling me into his chest. "I really like." He replied kissing me. "And I thought that outfit you wore the first time we met was great... I was wrong... this one, is amazing." He whispered as I giggled and did a curtsy.

He kissed me again and lingered on my lips. "Hey love-birds!" A voice called through the bedroom.

"Go away Emmett." Edward muttered kissing me again.

"No! We need to get downstairs." He said coming into my view. His arms were crossed over his chest. "And I don't like seeing my little sister making out with anyone."

I sighed and pulled away, breathless. "Emmett, I always see you and Rose doing it, leave me alone about it."

He huffed and stormed out of the room. "Come on love... he's right, we do have to go downstairs and get in position." I nodded as he grabbed my hand softly and started heading to the doorway.

"Edward... does Charlie know...?" I asked quietly as we left the bedroom.

"Know what love?" he asked confused.

"About you and I."

He stopped. "Oh."

"Does he?" I asked again.

He shook his head. "I didn't want to tell him... I thought you would when you felt like it." He answered simply.

"Should we tell him?"

"That's entirely up to you love." I nodded and we continued on down the stairs. He continued to hold onto my hand as I gently went down the stairs in my heels. Charlie was at the bottom but I don't think he thought anything of it besides the fact that I was going to trip over my own feet... again.

I made it down in one piece, not tripping over anything this time. Now it was for the important part.

[Edward P.O.V]

Emmett and I stood by Jasper on one side of the alter while Rosalie and my Bella stood on the other side by where Alice, my baby sister, would soon be standing.

The wedding march started to play and everyone stood up.

In a pristine white wedding gown, at the end of the aisle, her arm closed around her fathers. My baby sister, Alice Cullen, soon to be Hale, stood smiling brighter than ever. Then she started her walk, the dress gliding across the floor silently. Her eyes were set on Jasper who stood on the other side of Emmett from me. Jasper had chosen Emmett to be his best man and I was the grooms men. Alice has chosen Rosalie to be her maid of honor and Bella was the brides maid. I knew the two had done it that way in order to keep the couples paired up.

Alice and Carlisle reached the end and Carlisle handed her off to Jasper with a kiss to the cheek. Her eyes flickered to mine for a moment and she smiled before turning back to Jasper.

The minutes flew by as the pastor recited the words centuries old.

"Jasper, do you take Alice for your lawful wedded wife, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?"

He nodded and smiled at Alice. "I do."

"Alice, do you take Jasper for your lawful wedded husband, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?"

Alice's face was streaking with tears as she nodded. "I do."

The pastor carried on some more.

"I Jasper, take you Alice, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." Tears were streaking my baby sister's cheeks.

She took in a breathe and started. "I Alice, take you Jasper, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

The rings were then brought out from Emmett's front jacket pocket. More words were lost in my mind as I focused on my baby sister. She was about to be Jasper's wife... she wasn't going to be my little sister any more...

The rings were placed on their fingers. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The two smiled at one another and leaned in for the sealing kiss.

"Ladies and gentleman, I give you Mr. and Mrs. Hale." The room stood up and clapped loudly. Cheering and whistling rang throughout the house. My little sister was married...

I took my Bella's arm as we went down the aisle behind the Emmett and Rose.

Now it was time for the reception... the wedding was now behind us...
