Hey everyone. I promised a certain somebody an outtake or two (maybe three or four) for a certain reviewer and here's the first one I've written. I hope everyone likes it!
SM owns all, I own nothing as always.

Chapter 21: Outtake Part 1
"Seriously dude. Will you quit with the bouncing? You're making ME frazzled and I'm not even the groom."
Jasper snickered as Emmett pushed his hands forcibly down onto my shoulders, pushing me into my chair.
"I can't fucking help it Em. I'm getting married today. I think I'm allowed a little bit of nerves alright." I growled at him.
Yep, that's right. Today I'm getting married, and I'm freaking the fuck out.
Ugh, don't look at me like that. I'm not getting cold feet. My feet are so hot they feel like they're on fire. No, I'm just frazzled as Emmett put it. So much has happened since the day I proposed to Bella.
Bella quit her job indefinitely to finish getting better, Alyssa's starting a new school year, I'm getting a new class, Bella and I just got the keys to our new house, and the worst part?
I haven't had sex in three weeks.
Shut up, I'm a guy. I like sex. I love sex. I really love sex with Bella. However ever since "crunch time" as Bella put it, due to the closeness of the wedding date, it's like we're two ships passing in the night. By day, Bella does her therapy, and I work at the school, by night Bella, and I are calling this DJ, or that photographer, or going to fittings, or taste testing cakes, or Alyssa is meeting up with this friend or needs help with homework or blah, blah, blah.
By the time we get to bed at night we're both exhausted we barely hit the pillow before we're asleep only to wake back up and do it all over again.
Not now though. Oh no, now the wedding is finally here and tonight Alyssa will be going with Grandpa Charlie and Bella and I will be alone, secluded, in a nice big hotel room with a great big bed, a nice big Jacuzzi, champagne, chocolate strawberries, perhaps a little lingerie, one that I can slowly strip from her body, kissing every inch as I…
"Edward… Edward! EDWARD!" Jasper snaps his fingers in front of my face. I shake my head to rid myself of my naughty thoughts.
"Huh?"
"Dude, do you think you can get your mind away from Bella's tits and ass long enough to go meet her at the alter? The wedding's about to start!"
"SHIT!"
I jump out of my chair and race forward with Jasper and Emmett hot on my tail laughing at my stupid ass. I hear the music playing as I open the door and quickly make my way to the alter. As I stand there Emmett slaps his hand on my shoulder making my knees buckle slightly. I turn around and glare until he takes his hand off my shoulder.
"Dude. You need to calm down." He whisper laughs, making Jasper snort.
"Why, oh why, did I make you two my Best Men?" I ask under my breath.
"Because we're the only two you know, dipshit." Jasper snorts, Emmett laughs, and the Preacher clears his throat making us all feel like kids in a principle's office. Their laughter quickly stops as we try to stand taller making us look more 'grown up.'
Yeah. Right.
I turn myself forward and stare down the aisle as I watch my little girl come forward. Alyssa's hair has been curled into ringlets around her face and she's wearing the sweetest little white dress. I'm man enough to admit that seeing her with her big bright smile, her eyes glittering in the soft light, dancing down the aisle, and tossing flowers around her, that I got choked up. I could feel the tears starting in my eyes as she ran towards me and jumped into my arms. I could momentarily hear the laughter of the guests as I rub my nose against hers.
"I love you, Daddy," she whispers as she hugs me tight.
"I love you too, baby." I kiss her temple, my eyes squeezing shut tight as I try to hold the tears at bay. I let her down and she runs over to Grandma Renee, who is sitting beside my mother, both of them bawling their eyes out. Apparently they needed to hold each other up for our wedding day, and sitting on opposite sides of the church wasn't going to cut it.
Rosalie came down the aisle next. I smirked as I heard Emmett whimper quietly. Rose was wearing a long slinky champagne colored dress that looked like the sides wrapped around her and low on her chest. She looked beautiful. She smiled at me and I nodded my head at her as she took her place to the left of the aisle.
Alice came next and I heard Jazz take a deep breath. Alice wore another champagne colored dress. As the Matron of Honor hers was slightly different. Her dress still looked like it wrapped on the sides, but she had two wide straps, the top of the dress was rounded and she had a slight train in the back. Alice giggled at Jasper's look. I turned to look at him and he had his mouth wide open. I quickly stepped sideways and helped him close his mouth. The guests laughed as I moved back into place.
I looked down at my feet knowing who I'd see next. My beautiful Bella. I shifted my weight as I heard everyone stand and the beginnings of the wedding march started.
I could feel my heart beating faster and faster, but the moment I looked up, I felt it stop altogether.
There she was. My Bella. Christ, she's beautiful. Standing at the end of the aisle with her arm through her father's was the most beautiful woman I will ever see. I let my eyes stray to her dress. White silk that had a similar wrap shape at the sides of her chest like the other dresses with a satin champagne sash. Her train fell down behind her and flowed like liquid at her feet. I moved my eyes to her flowing mahogany hair that framed her luminescent skin. Her brown eyes were staring straight at me and I watched her take her lower lip between her teeth as we locked gazes.
I felt the tears sliding down my face and could feel the giant smile on my face as I watched her walk forward. After what felt like a millennia they both stopped directly in front of me. The Preacher said some words to which Charlie answered but I couldn't really hear them. All I could hear, see, feel was Bella. Her father pressed her hand into mine and felt her shaking. I lightly squeezed her hand and felt her do the same. Bella's lip slid out from between her teeth as a soft smile blinded me where I stood.
"You are so beautiful." I whispered as I reached forward to wipe a single tear from Bella's cheek.
"So are you." Bella whispered, her voice cracking slightly.
We both turned towards the Preacher and we listened to him pray over us both, before starting the ceremony. Time seemed to go so quickly and before I knew it, it was time to say the vows. Bella and I chose to say our own.
"Edward," he nodded his head towards me and I turned to Bella clearing my throat.
"Bella. I love you with every fiber of my being. I never knew something like this could be true. I never knew a love like ours could exist. And it's because it doesn't. Ours is a love like no other. Every touch, every kiss, every moment spent with you makes me fall in love with you all over again. I promise to love you through any troubles we may have. I promise to stand by you, through any and all obstacles. I promise to love Alyssa for the rest of my life and beyond. These are my promises to you, forever and always." I slowly slipped the wedding ring onto her finger and then kissed her knuckles softly.
"Bella." The Preacher nodded his head towards her and she quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and cheeks before retaking my hands.
"Edward. From the very first moment we met I knew things would never be the same. From the first word you spoke I knew I would fall for you. From the first time we touched I knew that I was ruined for anyone else. You are my life, my love, my soul mate. Your everything I could have ever dreamed of. Your kindness, your compassion, your love for Alyssa. I am so thankful for you coming into our lives. I promise to forever love you. I promise to stand by your side through any and all tribulations. I promise to always be the strength in your heart, and your shoulder to cry on. These are my promises to you, forever and always." She slowly pushed my wedding ring onto my finger, and then kissed my knuckle like I did.
I seriously couldn't wait anymore. I needed to kiss her. I had to kiss her. I turned to the Preacher and quickly spoke, "Now?"
He laughed and nodded. "Now."
"Thank God." I quickly reached forward to hold Bella's face in my hands and pushed myself forward and kissed the hell out of her. Every moment we'd had had been leading to this kiss. It was long and passionate and felt like the very first kiss to the rest of our lives.
"May I present to you for the very first time, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Anthony Cullen."
Bella and I broke apart at the sound of cheering and clapping behind us. I picked Bella up and twirled her around. Hearing her laugh filled my heart and I kissed her again.
I finally pulled back and let her feet touch the floor. I placed one hand in her hair and one around her waist and leaned my forehead against hers.
"Thank you, Bella." I choked out from behind my tears.
"For what, baby?" Bella asked as she held her hand against my face.
"For making me the most happiest man in the entire world. For loving me, for letting me love you and Alyssa. Bella, I swear I will love you until the end of time. Thank you." I picked her back up and twirled her as I repeated 'thank you' over and over again into her neck as the tears soaked us both, hers and mine.
"I love you Isabella Marie Cullen." I whispered into her neck.
"I love you too Edward Anthony Cullen." She squeezed me tightly and we finally broke apart. Alyssa ran at us and I picked her up twirling her around as well making her laugh before holding her tightly in my arms, taking Bella's hand in mine, and leading the three of us down the aisle towards our future.
Okay. So it's shorter than most, but it is an outtake after all. If you guys want something in particular for an outtake, leave me a review and I'll see what I can do. The next outtake won't be up for a while as I haven't written it yet but I will let you know it's a lemon *grins evily*
Make sure to leave me some love or I'll forget about the lemon altogether and I'll leave these two right where they're at. Mwa ha ha ha ha!
Until next time!
