I'm kind of disappointed because only ONE person reviewed for the last chapter, which was the WEDDING! So HUGE thanks to the AMAZING reviewer KC08TwilightFan!
Now time for the reception. It may or may not be the last chapter!

"Give it up for, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen!" I heard the DJ yell, as the crowd errupted in cheers. We pushed open the door to the reception, with big grins on our faces, and walked into the huge crowd of people. We walked to the long table, right by the dance floor. We took the spots right in the middle, and sat down. There was a huge dance floor that lit up, and a big stage right behind it, where the DJ was set up on the corner of it.
"Bella!" Alice squealed, and gave me a hug sitting down. She was sitting on my right, while Edward was sitting on my left. "Congratulations!"
"Thank you!" I pulled back from the hug and smiled at her.
"You're officially a Cullen. Which means, you're offically my sister!" She squealed.
"I'm just as excited as you." I giggled slightly. I turned back to Edward who was pouring both me and him a glass of champagne. I took a sip, and put it back down on the white table cloth.
"I love you." I turned towards Edward and pressed my lips to his.
"I love you, too." He pulled back, with a grin. "Care to dance?" He asked, standing up from his chair.
"I would love to." I got up from mine, and took Edward's hand that he offered me. We walked onto the dance floor, with everyone cheering in the background. He put one had on my waist, and the other held onto my hand. We moved from side to side, as the song Marry Me by Train flooded through the speakers.
"I never thought this day would come." Edward whispered to me.
"Me either. That was the longest six months I've ever been through." I smiled up at him, as we contiued to sway to the music.
"Now we're married, Mrs. Cullen." He grinned back.
"I love the sound of that." I laughed quietly.
"I do, too." He spun me around, and pulled me back into his arms. I laughed, and swayed again.
"You're a great dancer, by the way." I admitted.
"I've had a little bit of practice." He grinned, and kissed me. I kissed him back, moving my lips against his. We broke apart, and smiled. The song ended, and everyone clapped. I blushed, and we walked back to the long table. I had just sat down when Charlie came up to me with his hand extended for me to take it. I looked at it, then up at him, with a questioning look on my face.
"It's time for the father daughter dance." He smiled, and I took his hand. We walked back onto the dance floor, just as Esme and Edward were making their way there. He grabbed my waist, awkwardly, and took my hand.
"My little girl is leaving me." I saw tears forming in his eyes.
"Dad, I'll always be your little girl. Just one phone call, and I'll be over there with you watching the big baseball game on TV." I smiled.
"I'll remember that one." He chuckled. "So, what are your and Edward's plans for the future?"
"I honestly don't know. We haven't really talked about it. But I do know, we are planning on getting our own house, and start a family."
"He's really good for you, Bells." He said.
"I know." I grinned.
"I'm glad you have him to take care of you. I know I'm getting to old to help you out anymore." He winked.
"Dad, you can't be more then forty." I joked.
"Close enough." He chuckled. I looked out of the corner of my eye, Esme and Edward floating all over the dance floor, with much gracefullness.
"Mind if I cut in?" Emmett said, coming up next to Charlie and I.
"Sure, but make sure she doesn't fall." Charlie let go of me, and let Emmett in my arms.
"Congrats, Bells. Look who got married first out of all of us." He grinned.
"Thanks, Em. I've been wondering when I'd get a dance from you." I smiled. I felt saw him cringe as I stepped on his foot.
"Sorry. I'm not very..." I couldn't find the right word.
"Coordinated. Graceful. Able to stay on your feet." He finished.
"That's the one." I laughed. "So, Em, when are you going to pop the question to Rose?" I asked, with a smirk.
"Soon. Don't worry little Bella, soon." He answered.
"How long is soon? Like a day? A week? A month?" I asked curiously.
"Whenever I find that perfect ring, which shouldn't be long at all." He smiled.
"Good." I said, satisfied.
"How long until we get to see little Bella and Edward's running around?" He winked at me.
"I hope not long." I smiled.
"Hey, Em, I'd like a dance with the bride." Jasper came up to us, with a smile on his face.
"Okay. Watch out, she steps on your feet." Emmett grinned, and walked back to the long table, to get Rose to dance with him. Jasper grabbed my waist, and my hand, and we swayed back and forth.
"Congrats, sis." He smiled.
"Sis?" I asked, confused. If he was calling me sis, and Alice is my sister now that means... "You proposed?" I almost yelled.
"Shh! No one knows yet, and we don't want to announce it yet, since it is your wedding after all." He explained.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you, Jas!" I gave him a big hug, and got back to dancing with him. "When did you ask her?"
"About two minutes ago." He looked over to the long table, as did I, and saw Alice jumping up and down squealing, looking at her left hand, while everyone stared at her.
"Someone is certainly excited." I smiled at her. "So, when is it going to be?" I asked.
"Well, knowing Alice, it has to be sometime in the near future, because you know how she doesn't like to wait."
"True. So maybe two months, tops." I figured. As soon as the song ended, I went back over to the long table, and took a drink of my champagne.
"Excuse me." I looked up at the stage, and sure enough, there was Edward with his guitar, sitting on a chair, with a guitar in his lap. Everyone saw him, and cheered. "Hey everyone. I'm sure you already know this, but I'm Edward Cullen, the groom. I would like Mrs. Bella Cullen to come up on stage right now." He looked out into the crowd, and found me. He smiled, and motioned for me to join him. I got up from my chair, and up to the stage. I stood on the opposite corner of the stage then the DJ.
"This song is dedicated to you, Bella. I love you, and I hope you like it." He looked back down at his guitar, and started strumming. I automatically knew the song. Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. I put my hand up to my mouth, and the tears fell. He smiled up at me, and began to sing.
Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
When he finished, I had tears streaming down my face. Even though I was crying, I smiled at him, as the whole crowd erupted in cheers. I walked over to him, and pulled him to me. I kissed him hard on the lips, and he kissed me back. I heard someone whistle from the audience, and I knew it was Emmett without looking. I pulled back and smiled at him.
"You are amazing." I said slowly.
"I love you." He grinned.
"I love you, too." I laughed, and pulled him off stage. After a little more dancing, we decided we were going to have dinner now. The waiters and waitresses came and gave everyone a small salad to begin with. Then everyone had a choice between lobster or steak. When everyone was almost finished with dinner, I saw Alice stand up from her chair, and hit her fork to her class three times.
*Clink*Clink*Clink*
"Can I have you're attention?" She almost yelled. Everyone quieted down. "Thank you." The DJ handed her a microphone to talk into.
"Hi, everyone. I'm Alice, Bella's maid of honor. As the maid of honor, I have to make a speech, which is what I'm going to do. I'm going to try to make it good." Everyone laughed. "First of all, I'd like to congratulate the happy couple for making it almost a year apart. I know I could never do that with Jasper. There's just no way. You guys are the bravest people I know. Maybe not the most coordinated couple, but the bravest. Second of all, I'd like to wish you guys many years of happiness, and I can't wait to be an aunt." She said, and handed the microphone over to Emmett.
"How's your night going so far, people of America?" I heard the crowd mumble a few good's and great's. "Well, that's good. I am Edward's best man, as you should know. I'm going to try to make this speech short, so I can get some cake to eat. Anyway, oh my gosh, you're married now! I'm happy for you guys, and I couldn't wait for this day to come, so I could make this terrible speech. Actually I couldn't wait for this day because I see the way you look at each other. That's all a man needs to see to be able to determine if they are good for each other or not. Congrats, guys." He lifted his glass of champagne in the air, as did everyone else, and took a sip.
Cake time.
Edward and I got up from our seats, and walked over hand in hand, to the cake. It was gorgeous. It was three tiers, and had little roses all over it. The flavor was Red Velvet, which was Edward and my favorite cake.
I grabbed the knife, and Edward put his hand on top of mine. We positioned it on the middle teir, and cut through on one side. We did the same an inch away and sliced it. We took the little spatula thing, and put it on a glass plate. I grabbed a fork, as did Edward, and put a chunk of cake on the fork. Edward put his in front of my mouth, and I did the same to his mouth. I put the chunk of cake in his mouth, putting a little bit of frosting on his nose. He put it in my mouth, and I moaned it was so good. He had a little bit of frosting on his hand, and swiped it across my cheek. I swallowed the chunk of cake, and laughed out loud. I grabbed a napkin and wiped the frosting off my face.
We cut the rest of the cake, and let everyone get a slice. After everyone got fed, we got a slice, and went back to our chairs.
"This cake is delicious." I said, and took another bite of cake.
Once everyone finished eating the cake, I saw Alice grab a chair, and put it in the middle of the dance floor. I groaned at the thought of what was coming.
"Bella! Come on, take a seat." Alice said, and motioned toward the chair. I got up from the long table and sat down on the chair in the middle of the dance floor.
"Okay, men! All of you come stand over here!" Alice motioned to the second half of the dance floor. A lot of the men walked up to the dance floor, and waited there. Edward came over, and kneeled down in front of me. I lifted my dress up to about my mid thigh. He used his teeth, and slid the garter down my leg. I was laughing at him the whole time, because he was so concentrated on gettng the garter down my leg. He got it off, and stood up with it in his hands. I put my dress back down, and saw Edward turn around, and throw the garter at the group of men.
The weird thing was, my dad caught it. I busted out laughing. All the men walked back to their seats, as my dad came up to Edward, and handed the garter to him.
"I don't think I want this." He laughed, and sat down at his spot at the long table.
"Okay, ladies! Come stand over here on this side of the dance floor." Alice called out to everyone. All the girls stood in the same spot as the guys did before. I took my bouqet of flowers, and turned around. I threw it behind my head, and turned around to see who caught it. Esme caught it, and looked very proud of it. All the ladies went back to their seats, and Esme came up to me, and tried to hand it to me.
"No, no, no. You keep it." I said, pushing it back to her.
"If you insist." She smiled, and went back to her chair. I took the chair back to the table it came from, and went to grab Edward.
"Let's dance." I smiled, and pulled him on the dance floor.
We danced all night long, until the early hours of the morning, when it was just Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rose and I. Everyone had already left. Our parents had said goodnight at around midnight, and we had been alone ever since.
"I think it's time to hit the hay." I yawned as Edward wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
"Goodnight, everyone!" I called, as we walked out to the car.
"Bye, guys! Congrats!" I heard Rose yell behind us.
Honeymoon in the morning. Couldn't wait.
