A/N: I don't own Twilight!

Epilogue

Bella

"Mom?" My mom turned and saw me in my white, strapless wedding dress. My dress was long, it had sequins going down my stomach. "Where's dad?"

"Talking with Edward one final time," Renee said then touched my cheek, "Bella, you look beautiful."

"Thank you," I smiled then caught sight of myself in the mirror. I really did look beautiful, I hate to say that because I feel like I'm being vain, but I seriously looked beautiful. Before I could think anything else, Charlie walked back to us and stopped walking when he saw me.

"Aw, Bells," Charlie turned and wiped his eyes before coming to my side. "You look amazing. Edward is a lucky man."

"He knows," I said with a smile then saw my bridesmaids began walking down the aisle. My stomach turned into mush when I saw Alice, my flower girl, walk out with Rose following behind her. Rose was my maid of honor, since she was the one who was responsible for helping us get together. I held tightly to my dad's arm when it was our time to walk out. "Don't let me fall dad."

"I won't," he said and we began our journey down the aisle. The minute we walked out, Edward put his hand to his face and bent down over out of emotion. "You were right Bella, he knows how lucky he is."

"Who gives this woman in marriage?" The Pastor asked, my eyes were only on Edward.

"Her mother and I," Charlie said then handed me over to Edward, but first placing one final kiss on my cheek.

Edward kissed the back of my hand then leaned over and whispered in my ear, "You look amazing."

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to unite this man and this woman in holy matrimony. As Bella and Edward take their vows today, we are privileged to witness the joyous love of a new family - a family that will be nourished and nurtured through the devotion of two separate individuals growing together through the common bonds of love. May their marriage bring them the peace, joy, comfort and contentment that is known in the hearts of all God's children. And may Bella and Edward both look forward to each new season of their marriage - just as the world looks forward to each new season of the year. For all seasons bring with them their own special moments and memories.

An essential requirement of a good marriage is a strong bond of real friendship and trust. Bella and Edward, your love for each other will grow deeper with every passing day, but it's important to remember that your love stands on a foundation of genuine, mutual affection and respect for each other. To truly LOVE another person is to be willing to accept both their strong points, and their weak points, with equal measures of understanding and respect. The vows you are about to exchange, will serve as a verbal representation of the non-verbal emotions that are as real as anything that can be seen, heard or touched. For it is not the words that you will speak today that will bond you together as one - but the strength of the love and commitment found deep within your souls. Let us pray.

Lord, I ask that you look after Bella and Edward all the days of their lives. Lead them where you want them to go. Bless them with a happy life, but encourage them when they feel things are going bad. Amen."

"Amen," everyone chorused then turned to the pastor.

"At this time, I'll ask you, Edward, and you, Bella, to face each other & take each other's hands.
Edward, will you take Bella to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"

"I will," Edward said with a look of determination on his face that I had never seen before. I couldn't imagine what he must be feeling right now. 4 years ago, no one believed in him, he didn't have a job and he wasn't aiming for anything. Look at him now, he was now the head security officer on campus. I couldn't be more proud of him.

"Bella, will you take Edward to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"

"Absolutely," I said. My voice was cracking as I fought the tears of joy that wanted to come out.

"If anyone has a valid reason of why these two should not be married then speak now or forever hold your peace," I held my breath, this part always made me nervous in a wedding. No one said anything so the pastor continued, "Edward and Bella, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

"Oh, I intend to," Edward said so low that I'm sure only I had him. Edward took me in his arms and kissed me more softly and tenderly then he had ever done before. If anything, it drove me even crazier than usual. We broke apart to clapping around us, Edward wrapped his arm around me and led me outside. We decided not to have a reception, neither of us really cared to have one, it was mostly eating, toasts, and talking anyway. Instead, we decided that we would have some sort of gathering as soon as we were back from our honeymoon.

"Bella, I can't believe…" My mom began then stopped due to the crying. "I love you so much." She pulled me to her in a hug and held me tightly.

"I love you too mom," I said then backed away. Edward was talking with his family and glancing at me occasionally.

"Bella, I'm so proud of the woman you've become," my dad said giving me a side hug.

"Do you know where he's taking you?" Renee asked grabbing my hands.

"Paris," I said with a smile. I couldn't wait, we would spend three months in Paris! It was going to be wonderful.

"Ready to go Mrs. Cullen?" Edward asked coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Of course," I said with a smile. Everyone cheered as we walked to our car, they cheered even louder as we pulled away. "I can't believe this."

"Me neither," Edward said kissing my hand then focused on driving. We had a long flight ahead of us, it would be a 9 hour flight to our destination in Paris, then another 30 minutes to get to our hotel. Needless to say, I slept the minute we were on the plane and I was in some comfy clothes.

"Bells, wake up," I rubbed my eyes and saw that our plane had landed. Had I really slept for 9 hours? "You slept for a while my love."

"I was sleepy," I admitted grabbing my bags before walking behind Edward to get off the plane. "Besides, it's not like you want to sleep when we get to the hotel."

"No, you're right," Edward said with a sly smile, "Probably why I fell asleep too."

"You're impossible," I said hitting his stomach. Edward hailed us a cab and told them to take us to a hotel called L'Hotel, I had no idea how to pronounce it so I was glad that Edward knew! We pulled up in front of a building that wasn't fancy, I looked at Edward and said, "This is where we're spending our honeymoon?"

"Yeah, just wait," Edward said getting our luggage and leading me inside. He told the man at the counter that we had a reservation. No big deal right? He said it in French! "What? I studied so I could impress you."

"Done," I said with a smile and followed him to our room. We were staying on the very top floor in a room called Grand. That was an understatement! This room was bigger than my own apartment in New York! This room was a house, it had 3 different rooms. One was where the bed was, my stomach went to knots when I saw that. Another room held the bathtub and the sink, the bathtub was absolutely beautiful, it had a window right above it where a person could look at the stars or the moon. The last room had the couch, the tv and other things like that. "It's beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you," he said picking me up and carrying me bridal style. "How about we watch a movie? I think it would be appropriate to watch Little Women. It was the first movie we ever watched together."

"You remember that?" I asked as he put me down on the couch.

"Of course, I remember every single thing that we have ever done together," he said and smiled. "How about we change into some more comfy clothes first?"

"Deal!" I loved my dress but I was ready to get out of it and get into my Pajamas. Edward changed into a pair of pajamas and a plain white shirt. "Love, there's a TV in front of the bed. Wanna watch it in there?"

"Sure," Edward said and began turning the covers back for us to lay down. I put in the movie and then crawled into bed next to him. It didn't feel like we were married, it felt like any other normal night when we would watch something. Edward had his arm around me and was stroking my hair when I turned the TV off and looked up at Edward.

"What's wrong?" He asked stroking my hair. I didn't say anything, I reached up and kissed him. I don't know if I startled him or what, but his lips were hesitant against mine. I didn't even know what had come over me to give in so easily, I also knew I didn't exactly regret it either. His lips were warm and smooth as they brushed against my own. I stiffened when his hands planted themselves on my waist, but his light, heart-warming chuckle managed to loosen me up again. Moving his right hand up to the nape of my neck he seized my lips once again with his own only this kiss was more powerful more passionate sending heat to my cheeks, butterflies to my stomach and taking my breath away all at the same time. I didn't want to break contact with him and as if realizing what I wanted my hands moved to ball themselves into his hair. When we finally pulled free, His eyes were wild and I knew they matched my own a smile crept across his face sending a stupor grin a cross my face as well.

"Are you sure?" he asked and I nodded as I got rid of his shirt to look at his perfect body. It wasn't fair for one man to be so handsome. When he caught me staring, he laughed. "You're making me feel self-conscious with all the staring."

"Did you go to the gym growing up?" I asked running my hand down his abs. Edward gave me a look, then sat up and busted out laughing.

"Me? Go to the gym? Bella, love, have you met me? I don't even like walking to the fridge to get food!" That was true, when we would eat at his house he wouldn't want to get up to get a drink. Me being the loving fiancé, I got up and got him something to drink.

"True, now stop talking," I said pulling him to me again and locking our lips together. This was it, we were going forward, and there was no stopping now.

I woke up the next morning cuddled against his bare chest, feeling nothing but bliss and satisfaction. The mattress felt soft and endearing under my body, but I felt laying against his stiff frame and using his arm as a pillow was much more comfortable and preferable. Last night had been the best night of my life. Edward had been gentle, he had guided me every step of the way and whispered how much he loved me throughout the night. I cuddled closer to his side and smiled as I touched my lips, I had never felt anything like this before, it was incredible. I looked at Edward one last time before quietly slipping out of bed and into the bathtub for a warm bath before he woke up.

"Bella?" I was in the bath for a mere five minutes when I heard his voice. My first thought was that I woke him up, I hadn't wanted to.

"I'm in here," I said and heard the door open, bare feet walking against the tile. I opened my eyes and saw Edward sitting on the edge of the bathtub.

"Want some breakfast?" he asked running his finger down my cheek. "I'll be happy to get you something."

"That sounds wonderful," I said with a smile. "Would you mind finding out what they have?"

"Not at all," he kissed my forehead and then walked out to get the phone. I heard him talk with someone for a few minutes then came back into the bathroom. "Okay, so they have scrambled eggs, omelets, cereal, coffee, tea, orange juice, um… ham, cheese, bacon, or salmon."

"Salmon?" I asked giving him a look that made him laugh. "I'll just have orange juice, an omelet, ham, and bacon."

"You got it love, you want cheese in the omelet?" I looked at him and made him laugh. He sure did seem chipper this morning. "Why did I even ask?"

"Edward, why are you so happy this morning?" I asked looking down at my now pruned fingers. Edward sat back down on the edge of the tub and raised my chin so I was looking at him.

"Why am I so happy? Maybe because I had the most wonderful night with the most wonderful woman. Maybe because this is the first morning we've woken up in the same bed. Can I not be happy to be with you Bella Cullen?" He smirked when he said my new last name.

"I sure hope you are," I said and closed my eyes. "Now go get my food, I'm hungry."

"Yes ma'am!" Edward left the room, leaving me to think about our future together. I didn't know what was in store for us, but I was excited to find out.
