20.

Edward asked me to marry him right before my twenty-third birthday.

For us, there was really no reason to wait and we didn't want a big wedding – which was a huge disappointment for Alice, who'd wanted to be my wedding planner for years - so we got married a couple of weeks after.

I had a beautiful wedding dress and Edward wore a tux and everyone else was wearing nice clothes and smiling. We were all just very happy.

Our honeymoon was spent in Hawaii, filled with being lazy at the beach, making love and some sightseeing. The two weeks flew by and soon we were back to work.

Nothing really changed, except for the fact there were now two beautiful rings on a certain finger. And my last name changed from Swan to Cullen, which was just paperwork that wasn't actually necessary since I'd been part of the Cullen family for so long.

But we went through it anyway because the sparkle in Edward's eyes when my name was officially changed was so worth it.
