A/N phew! wow, this took me SO long to write. Stupid writer's block…anyway, I only have a blant idea of what weddings are like, so don't butcher me too badly about it. I was only in one ever, and that was like two years ago. so…yeah. Enjoy!
(Bella's POV)
A day passed since our little scene in the bedroom had occurred. Just five more days, I thought feebly. Then you will be the happiest woman ever.
Alice was really getting excited, and I couldn't blame her. Her mood was really contagious, and before I knew it, we were happy dancing in the living room together.
"I can't believe you're getting married!" Alice chirped.
"Me neither!" I wooped.
At the time, Edward was upstairs, and he came down to see what all the fuss was about. When he saw me laughing and having fun with Alice, he looked so happy that it might have actually hurt.
"Edward!" I sang. "Come join us!"
He laughed. "That's alright, I'd rather just watch."
I shrugged, and turned my attention back to Alice. "Where is the wedding, again? I don't think you told me."
She smiled. "It's going to be here."
"Really?" I asked, excited. "For real?"
"For real. I'm going to start setting things up tomorrow."
I grinned, turning to Edward. "Oh, this is going to be so perfect! I can't believe we're having it here!"
He came over to me, and wrapped his arms around my waist. "You actually seem like you want to get married. Are you feeling okay?" he asked jokingly.
"I feel fine, silly! I just can't wait to prove to you how much I love you," I said seriously. "It's the only real way I know how."
He pulled me even closer then we already were. "My dear, sweet Bella. There are many more ways to show love than marriage. But, I just want to know that you are mine, and only mine, for eternity. And a wedding seemed perfect."
"It is," I agreed. "So…what are we going to do now? I mean, we still have five days till the wedding." I pulled myself closer to him. "What are we going to do until then?" I whispered.
He looked into my eyes. "Prepare," he breathed.

"Bella!" Alice screeched. "Come on! We have to go to the salon! It's your wedding day!"
My eyes brightened. "When's the appointment?"
"Right now!" She took my hand and led me out to the porch.
"You do know that this will be the only time in my dead life that I will set foot in a salon, correct?" I said.
She rolled her eyes at me. "Get over it, you will be in there many more times, curtesy of me." She smiled.
"Ugh." I leaned back in my seat.
About five minutes later, we arrived at a little place that was called The Boutique. Not a very original name, I thought blandly.
Alice took my hand again, and pulled me through glass doors that jingled when we entered.
"Aliiiiiiice," a woman with a French accent cooed. "How good to seeeeee you again, daahhling!" She floated over to where Alice stood, and they both kissed each other on both cheeks.
"Likewise! Beatris, this is Bella," she said, pointing to me.
"How nice to meeeeet you, Bella. Come sit," she said, pulling me over to a chair.
Alice started to speak to her in French, I assumed. I figured that it was only so that I wouldn't understand. I scowled.
Soon I was being pampered by several different women, some working on my toes, my hair, my fingers. I virtually had nowhere to escape to. I let my mind roam.
More than an hour later, I was allowed to stand up and see myself for the first time since they started. I gasped in shock, and took an involuntary step back. I was…gorgeous…
Alice smiled in familiarity. "I knew you would love it."
She spoke to Beatris again, and I figured it was to say thank you. Then she linked arms with me, and we piled into the car.
"Next stop—our house," she said, turning to smile at me.
I nodded, and a knot suddenly appeared in my stomach. I was getting…married today. The realization finally hit. I was going to be a part of his family…and I was going to make Edward very happy by doing so. A silent tear of happiness rolled down my cheek. Alice looked over at me curiously, but said nothing.
When we arrived home, Renee was at the door. "Bella! Sweetheart, you look beautiful," she cried. "I am so proud of you."
The tears were coming faster now, and I hugged her. "Thank you, Mom. Thank you for finally understanding."
Alice pulled me up the stairs, Renee close behind. We went into Alice's room, and used her bathroom inside. It shouldn't even be called a bathroom, it's so big.
When we walked in I gasped. It looked more fit for a princess than me. There was a vanity type thing with a huge round mirror on it, and there was so much makeup there that it made me want to puke. But only because I knew all of it would be going on me. There was bright lights too, but I knew that they were only for Renee. Stupid awesome vampire vision.
They got to work. I felt that my eyes were being pressed closed, and I could feel a slight brush as one of the two woman put eye shadow on me. I heard a slight rustling.
"Wait!" Alice said. "She won't need blush. She has her own personal arsenal of it." I opened my eyes, and stupidly, I blushed. Alice smiled. "Told you."
After what felt like hours, they were done. I breathed out a sigh of relief, making sure not to look in the mirror. I sat up slowly.
I was dizzy for a moment, and I sat to sit back down. After a minute I was fine, and stood up. Alice was waiting patiently for once.
Renee had tears in her eyes, and I knew that if Alice could, she would be crying too. They looked so happy.
An unconscious smile slid across my lips, and I went over to hug them. "Thank you, for all of this. Both of you have made this day so special for me, and it hasn't even really begun. I love you both so much." I pulled back to look at them, seeing two of the most precious faces in the world.
"Don't thank us," Renee said. "It was our pleasure."
We came out of the bathroom, and Alice sat me down on her bed. She ran into her closet and came out with my dress. It flowed while she walked, and I could just imagine it on me. Alice saw the look in my eye and smiled yet again.
"It's all yours."
Somehow they managed to get me into it without messing up my hair of my makeup. I didn't complain.
"Where's Edward?" I asked.
Alice looked up. "Downstairs," she said. "He's trying to sneak a peek in my mind right now," she added in a much quieter voice, too low for Renee to hear. I nodded.
"Alright!" Alice clapped her hands together. "The ceremony started any minute now! Let's get you downstairs."
We made our way down into the living room, and I stopped at the door. I turned, looking for Charlie. He was suddenly there, and his eyes looked red and puffy. I hugged him tightly.
"It's so hard to believe that you're getting married," he whispered.
"I know, Dad," I said back. "I know."
That was when the music started, our cue to start walking down the isle.
