Bella
"Bells. Honey. It's time to get up."
I groaned and pushed my head further into my pillow.
"Come on Bells. Alice and Rose will be here soon and I need to talk to you before then."
Hearing that I flipped over quickly and sat up.
"What's up?"
He chuckled and shook his head.
"What?"
"You. You're getting married today and you don't appear to be nervous at all."
"Well, you just woke me up so my eyes aren't all the way open yet, plus I'm marrying Jasper so what is there to be nervous about."
He smiled at my words and said, "I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. When you brought Jasper home that first time I knew at some point today would happen. You were so happy and I couldn't ask for a better person for you. I know he's going to love and take care of you , he's proven that more times than I can count. Thank you for being my daughter and thank you for giving me a son."
I was blubbering like a baby by the time he was finished and all I could do was launch myself into his waiting arms.
"I love you daddy." I whispered through my tears.
"I love you too baby." He said back his voice choked with emotion.
We hugged for a few more minutes before he pulled back and swiped his thumb across my cheeks.
"No more."
"I have a feeling they won't be the last ones I shed today."
"You're right, but at least stop now so Alice doesn't have a shit fit when she gets here because your eyes are all red and puffy."
"It's your fault."
"I know so stop please. The pixie scares me."
"I think she scares everyone, but I'm good."
"Okay." He stood. "I'm going to run to the diner for breakfast. What do you want and what will the girls eat?"
"Pancakes and bacon for all of us."
He nodded and placed a kiss on the top of my head before starting for the door. As his hand touched the knob he turned and said, "Oh, I kind of have a date today also."
"Really? Who? How?"
"It's Sandra from Thanksgiving. We've kind of been seeing each other."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know if you would be okay with it."
"I'm fine. It's about damn time you found someone you liked."
"Alright."
I gave him a smile as he pulled the door open and went down the stairs.
Lying back on my pillow I let out a little laugh. My dad had a date for the wedding. My wedding. My wedding to Jasper. I brushed my hand beside me where he should have been, but he'd stayed with Jacob last night after we'd driven up from Seattle.
Sitting up I grabbed my phone off the table Alice wouldn't let me see or talk to him until the wedding, but she'd never said anything about sending him a text.
Pulling up the screen I glanced at the clock and typed…
Only eight and a half more hours. Love you.
I hit send and hopped up to grab some clothes for a shower. I'd just grabbed everything when my phone beeped.
Hitting the button I smiled as I read…Too many. Can we change the time? Love you too.
I sent another one causing us to send a few more.
I wish, but no. It will be here before we know it, so we just need to be a little more patient.
True. Just ready to make you mine.
Already yours it will just be official now.
I love you baby.
I love you too. See you soon.
Not soon enough.
I didn't reply again since we would keep going back and forth if we didn't stop now.
Setting my phone down I grabbed my clothes and headed to the shower. By the time I was done and went downstairs Rose, Alice, and dad were sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast.
"Hey Bella," The girls said with a wave.
I gave them a smile and grabbed some coffee before sitting down by dad.
"You ready for the day?" Alice asked passing me my food container.
"Yep. So ready."
All three gave me a smile and I dug into my pancakes.
I ate for a few minutes before asking, "Where are the guys?"
"At the beach. They were going to drop their suits at Jacob's house and then meet everyone to help set up the tents and things. Once they were done with that then half the girls were going to decorate while the other half finished up the food." Rose said looking up and raised an eyebrow before asking, "Why are you crying?"
Reaching up I felt the tears. I didn't even know I had been. "I have such good friends is all."
They again flashed me a smile and we finished up the rest of our breakfast in silence.
Once we were all done dad left to go to the beach to help while the three of us went upstairs and got to work.
Sitting in a chair in front of my mirror they proceeded to curl my hair all over before pulling the sides up using the hair combs Jasper had given me.
When I was done they did their own hair. Alice just did what she normally does and Rose curled hers also, but left all of it down.
We then moved onto makeup. With it done we headed downstairs for a quick lunch before retouching it and the girls got dressed.
I was so glad I'd found the outfits I did and that they had liked them. I didn't want them to freeze to much. Both had on knee high black boots with chunkier heels so they could walk across the sand. Their bottoms were black pants with a very wide-boot cut leg. The top was peach and form fitting. One shoulder was completely bare while the other had the fabric gathered into one tank top sleeve. It had an empire waist before the bottom was gathered also. I'd also chosen a tight three-quarter length sleeve black jacket that stopped right under the breast area.
It would give them enough coverage while taking pictures and then they could remove it later if they wanted to.
They looked so good and once they were ready to go we pulled out my dress.
My dress was simple. White with spaghetti straps and floor length. It fit my body perfectly. The coat that came with it though was what made me choose and fall in love with it. It was also white and floor length, but had a slight train on the back. The long sleeves had a band of white soft stuff at the ends and then there was more white soft stuff as my collar. Four pearl buttons kept the front together right at my chest while the rest was left open. It also had a detailed inch wide band right above my waist. I would be pairing white ballerina flats with it.
I had just finished getting dressed when the florist delivered the flowers and then not five minutes later the photographer arrived.
We left immediately to take pictures arriving at my cliff a few minutes later. We spent about thirty minutes there before returning to house.
Dad came in soon after and got ready also. When he stepped into my room once he was dressed Alice let out a whistle.
"Charlie you are a major DILF today."
Rose and I cracked up seeing the look that appeared on dad's face.
"Alice," He warned. "You're married; you aren't supposed to say stuff like that."
"It's true though." She said back with a shrug of her shoulder.
I glanced over at dad and smiled. Not that he was a DILF to me because that was just gross, but he did look good. His suit was the same as Jasper, Edward, and Emmett's suits. Pure black with a black tie and white shirt. Black dress shoes completed the look.
Dad shook his head and turned to me. "I'm headed to the cliff for pictures. I'll be back soon."
I nodded and he left.
Sitting down on my bed I took a deep breath and glanced at the clock. An hour and a half to go.
*********
Jasper
Today had been so busy so far, but we'd gotten everything done we needed to do. Now we were standing on Bella's cliff having pictures done and I was getting more and more anxious. I was ready to see my girl and hold her in my arms.
Our texting this morning had left me feeling peaceful and nerve free, so I was able to relax and enjoy the morning getting everything set up for our wedding.
"Jasper."
Pulling myself away from my thoughts I turned to look at Charlie.
"I'm headed back to the house."
I nodded. "Tell her I love her."
"Will do." He said walking over to the cruiser.
I turned to Edward and Emmett and without saying a word we walked toward my car. We drove straight to the beach. The parking lot already had a few cars sitting there. When I stepped out of mine doors opened on two of them.
My family was in one and I immediately walked over.
"Oh honey," My mom said hugging me. "I'm so glad to see you."
"Me too mom." I said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
She hugged me again before my dad and sisters moved over to me as well.
Once I'd given them a hug Edward took them down to the tent. I watched them walk away before turning back to the other people who were standing a few cars away.
I knew immediately who they were. It was amazing how much he looked like Bella. Walking over I saw a big grin flash on his face.
"Jasper?" He questioned.
"Yep. It's good to finally meet you Alec."
"You too." He said holding out his hand.
I shook it and then turned to Phil and stuck out my hand. "Thank you again."
"You're welcome. Thank you for inviting us."
I nodded and introduced Emmett and then Edward who'd just walked back up to the parking lot.
We stood talking for a little bit about when we were going to introduce Alec and Bella, finally deciding to wait until after the ceremony. While we were standing there the parking lot started filling up. I said a quick hey to a few co-workers that had come and a few I remembered from my old school that had come for Bella.
I also spoke to the rez crew and introduced Alec and Phil to them.
About twenty minutes before the wedding Charlie came pulling in. I didn't know how it was going to be for him meeting Phil and Alec.
When he walked over to the seven of us standing there, Seth and Jacob had stayed, he said, "Bella will be here soon."
I nodded and couldn't stop a smile from spreading on my face before I remembered the introductions I was about to make.
"Charlie I'd like you to meet Alec and Phil. Alec and Phil this is Charlie, Bella's dad."
None of the awkwardness I thought would be there appeared. Charlie stuck out his hand and that was it. Another ten minutes passed and then it was time to head down to the tent.
Charlie stayed at the entrance to the tent to wait on Bella while the rest of us went inside.
As I took my place at the front I checked my watch. Five minutes to go. It was going to be the longest five minutes of my life.
**********
Bella
Twenty minutes to go. Dad had already left to go to the beach and I was just waiting. While I sat there I thought back to when Sue had stopped by and I had to smile.
Alice, Rose, and I had just been talking trying to pass the time when Sue knocked on the door. Alice and Rose had stepped out to give us some privacy.
Sue had taken my hands and looked me over. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks. So do you." I said already feeling the tears prickle my eyes.
She gave me a smile and said, "I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for letting me see you grow up into the beautiful young woman you are. Thank you for giving me another daughter. "
The tears were flowing freely for both of us and brushing them away quickly I said, "Thank you for being my mom. You were there anytime I needed you and you gave me so much. I don't know how I can ever repay you for that, but just know I love you."
"I love you too sweetheart and the only repayment I need is for you to be happy."
I smiled a watery smile and pulled her into a hug. We swayed back and forth for a few minutes before Sue pulled back. Giving me a kiss on the cheek she squeezed my hands and headed out the door.
"Bella." Alice said bringing me out of my thoughts.
Looking up I found her and Rose smiling at me.
"What?"
"It's time to go."
I shot up off the bed and grabbed my flowers earning me a laugh from both of them.
"Anxious much?" Rose asked.
"Hell yes. Let's go."
We trooped down the stairs and outside getting into Edward's Volvo.
Rose drove like a fucking maniac, but I didn't care; the sooner we got there the sooner I could see Jasper.
We pulling into the parking lot of First Beach and I stared in awe at all the cars. Did I really know that many people?
Rose opened the backdoor for me and helped me slide out making sure I didn't rip my dress or anything. Looking over toward the tents I could see my dad standing by the closed entrance.
I made my way slowly down the stairs leading to the beach with Alice and Rose's help. Dad met us half way between there and the tent.
Holding his arm out I slipped my hand through and we walked together.
"Excited?" He asked.
I bit my lip nodding.
"Nervous?"
I shook my head no this time.
"Did you lose your voice?"
"No," I said laughing.
"Just checking." He said with a shrug.
Rolling my eyes with a smile on my face we stopped to the side of the entrance. I could hear the music seeping through the canvas walls and I inhaled deeply taking in the ocean smells. This was it, what I'd been waiting all day for. Hell all my life for.
Rose flashed me a smile before the tent flaps were moved and she disappeared through them. Alice gave me a quick wink and then sent one to dad before she followed behind. As she stepped in the flaps closed behind her and we stepped over in front of them.
I heard the music, for me, start soon after and I saw the flaps raise and then I only saw him. Nothing else in this world mattered.
He was there waiting on me. His blue eyes sparkling with unshed tears. I wasn't so lucky. As soon as I saw him the tears spilled over. I let them run unchecked it wouldn't have done any good to wipe them away more would have followed.
We made it to the front without my knowledge of us even moving. Dad placed a kiss on my cheek that I barely felt. My eyes were locked with Jasper's and I wasn't about to break away.
***********
Jasper
God she was beautiful. Walking toward me with happy tears running down her gorgeous face and all I could think about was that she was here for me. Taking her small hand in mine the peaceful feeling I'd felt all day only heightened. Nothing else in this world mattered but her. She was my heart, my soul, my life.
We didn't turn toward the pastor. My eyes were locked with hers and I wasn't about to break the connection.
I repeated the words the pastor asked me too, putting all the love I had in my body into them. And every one she repeated back was music to my ears.
I said I Do with conviction making sure there was no doubt what so ever to anyone listening.
The pastor said a prayer and as everyone else bowed their heads Bella and I held our gaze.
As I slipped her ring onto her finger and she did mine we still didn't look away as a quiet understanding passed between us. We were almost complete. Eleven more words were all we needed.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." Letting her hands go I cupped her face and touched our lips together. Completion.
Pulling back I smiled and received one from her. Kissing her lightly again I took her hand turning us toward our family and friends.
"Ladies and gentlemen I introduce to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Whitlock."
Applause broke out and the music started again. Lifting our intertwined hands I kissed her knuckles softly and gave her a wink before we started back down the aisle. Stepping through the flaps I pulled her into my chest and swung her around laughing. She joined me quickly tightening her hold around my neck.
We were interrupted when Rose and Edward stepped through behind us followed closely by Emmett and Alice. They all gave us hugs and then moved out of the way for Bella to be swept up by Charlie and then my dad. Sue and my mom followed and then it was one person after another before they made their way to the other tent.
After Jacob and Leah hugged us Charlie stuck his head into the wedding tent and gave me a quick nod letting me know that only two remained inside before he too headed toward the other tent. Bella started to follow, but I stopped her with a slight tug on her hand.
She looked back with a slight raise to her eyebrow.
"I need to give you your wedding present first."
"Okay." She said a confused expression slipping onto her face.
Walking us to the tent I reached over and raised one side. "It's in here."
She just shook her head and stepped through.
*********
Bella
I didn't know what could possibly be in there, but stepping through the doors though I saw him standing halfway down the aisle.
"Alec," I breathed once again letting the tears come.
"Bella." He whispered and then we were moving.
Our arms wrapped around each other and I clung to my brother crying into his chest. Eventually I got myself together enough to be able to pull back and look at him. He was a cute guy and looked a hell of a lot like me. His hair was brown, but not as dark as mine and he had the same brown eyes. We had the same chin and ears. He was also really tall. Maybe even more than Jasper.
"You're so tall." I said getting a laugh.
"6'2""
"But you're only 15."
"Yeah, so I might get even bigger." He said trying not to smile. "Dad is tall though."
I nodded and at the motion of his head I remembered someone else had been standing with him. Turning around I looked up into a pair of smiling eyes.
"Bella this is Phil, my dad. Dad this is Bella, my sister." Alec said placing his hands on my shoulder.
Phil gave me a bright smile and held out his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Bella."
I looked at his hand for a second and then back up into his eyes. He must have taken my hesitation for unacceptance because he lowered his hand slowly, but that was far off the mark. Stepping forward I wrapped my arms around his waist. He reacted a few seconds later and hugged me back.
"Thank you for bringing him." I whispered.
"You're welcome and congratulations."
I pulled back and smiled and then looked over to my husband who was grinning at me. Moving from Phil I threw myself at Jasper.
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome baby. I love you."
"I love you too."
Dad stuck his head in the tent then and seeing us standing there came in fully.
"Sorry to interrupt, but just wanted to know when you wanted us to start the grills and things."
"It's okay dad. You can start them now and while everything gets going we can take photos."
He nodded. "I'll get Alice and the others if you want."
"Thanks dad."
He nodded again and stepped out returning a few minutes later with Alice and the other three, Sue, Jasper's family, and the photographer.
I smiled when I saw Sue come in because without me even asking he knew I'd want her there.
We spent the next hour snapping pictures on the beach. We took all the typical ones that usually comes with a wedding and a lot with me and Alec.
After the last one of me and Jasper was taken we decided on a huge one with everybody. As the photographer positioned us I glanced up and met eyes with Phil. He was smiling as Alec stood beside me his arm around my waist under Jasper's who was on my other side and dad standing behind me, one hand on my shoulder.
Smiling to myself I stepped away and walked over. I didn't say anything as I took his hand and pulled him over to the group. Phil just looked at me to make sure it was okay as I positioned him beside dad and I gave him a slight nod. Yeah I barely knew the man, but he'd brought me my brother and as much as I hated his wife he was family to me.
Once I had him in the right spot I returned to mine and felt a second hand settle on my shoulder as the men in my life returned to there positions as well.
The photographer snapped the picture and we finally all headed to the reception tent with dad and Phil veering off to help Billy and Harry at the grills.
Jasper and I mingled around the tables talking to our loved one. I pulled poor Alec around behind us, but I wasn't going to let him go anytime soon. I didn't have much time with him since we were leaving tomorrow for our honeymoon and he would be going back to Arizona.
The food was ready soon after we finished the photographs and we all sat and ate. Alec sat beside me and about halfway through the meal I realized I'd been talking to him the entire time and ignoring Jasper.
Turning in my chair I leaned over and whispered, "I'm sorry I haven't talked to you."
He smiled and whispered back, "It's fine. I'll have you all to myself when we leave here. Enjoy your time with your brother."
I smiled and gave him a kiss which earned us an awww from the table.
We finished our meal and after cleaning our plates away and sitting back down Alice remained standing to give her toast.
Once every eye was on her she started.
"When these two met I had high hopes. After all they were both single, had a lot in common, and had the same friends. Needless to say though that first meeting didn't go as well as I had planned. I think if you had told them that night that we would be sitting here now five years later one or both of them would have punched you in the head and walked off.
"To see and know them now you wouldn't think that at one point they hated each other. But they did and it took three years, a lot of fighting, and a trip to the other side of the continent before they finally realized what was standing right in front of them. A love so powerful and complete and amazing that you have to wonder how it was ever contained.
"I look at them and see not only two of my very best friends, but two people who can make even the most cynical person believe that anything is possible. So please raise your glasses and bottles and join me in saying congratulations to Jasper and Bella. I love you guys."
I smiled and wiped my tears away as she sat down and Emmett stood up. He cleared his throat and shot us an evil smirk. Okay cue the Jaws theme song here.
"I met Jasper freshman year of college while he was trying to get a girl's phone number. She had shot him down and then he said it wasn't a big deal because he'd get it eventually. We made a little bet and at the end of that first week I was not only $200 richer, but I also gained a best friend. I met Bella freshman year as well and she became just as big a part of my world as Jasper was.
"As Alice said before their relationship in the beginning was unconventional, but in reality all the fighting helped them. They'd seen each other at their worst and they were still able to rise above all the anger and come out stronger because of it.
"If you want to see soul mates, look at them. If you want to see true love, look at them. If you want proof that fate exist, again look at them. They've been through more than most couples have to ever deal with and have stuck by each other when the easier thing would have been to just give up.
"Their love is something I have had the utmost pleasure of witnessing and I only hope that I'm there to see the rest of it. Please help me salute them and say that your forever starts now. I love you both."
Emmett sat down and I gave him a very watery smile.
Once all the tears were dried our table stood and I moved to Alice and Emmett giving them both a hug.
"Thank you so much. Emmett your toast was simply….wow." I said. "It wasn't anything like I expected it to be."
"Awww, it's okay Bells. I can do the sentimental shit when I want to because I'm a smooth motherfucker."
"And there is the Emmett we know and love." Jasper said laughing as he slipped his arm around my waist.
We moved to cut the cake then and after everyone had eaten a piece it was time for the dancing.
As everyone milled around the DJ made an announcement.
"Jasper and Bella have decided that they would do a little something different. Both have each chosen a song that represents to them what the other one means. The first dance of the night will be Jasper's pick and the last dance will be Bella's. So please gather around as the happy couple share their first dance together."
Jasper stepped forward and turned to face me, holding out his hand. "Dance with me darlin'."
I gave him a big grin and placed my hand into his, immediately recognizing the song as the music started.
He walked us to the middle of the circle and wrapping his arms around me we swayed to Michael Buble's--Crazy Love.
I can hear her heartbeat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open up every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's just where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fun sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
She takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Takes away all of my heartache in the night like a thief
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yes, I need her in the daytime
Oh but I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss and hug, kiss and hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away
She give me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, it makes me feel whole
And it makes me mellow down to my soul
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me, love, love, love, love, crazy lov
eShe gives me love, crazy love
I need her love, love, love, love, crazy love
Crazy love, crazy love, crazy love
When the song ended I squeezed Jasper tighter to me. We stood there a few more moments just reveling in the feelings of being together before a tap on my shoulder pulled us apart.
"Do you mind if I share a dance with my daughter?" My dad asked looking at me.
"Not at all." Jasper said stepping back.
As my dad took my hand I watched Jasper walk over to stand by his family. Smiling I turned my eyes back to dad.
"This is for you Bells," He whispered as the music started.
I'm giving you away
But I'm not letting go
The memories that flood my mind of the little girl I know
Once upon a time
You held my hand so tight
You close your eyes and say a prayer
Then I'd kiss your head goodnight
And as we dance I keep our love deep within my heart
And thank god for giving me this angel in my arms
You're my little angel
So baby don't you cry
It's time to spread your wings and fly
If there's one thing this father knows
The hardest part is letting go
But you will still always be your daddy's little angel
It seems like yesterday
Has come and gone so fast
Now my baby's all grown up
But the memories will last
It's hard to say goodbye when you've always been so near
But for now I'll hold you tight like those times that I hold dear
As we dance I keep our love deep within my heart
And thank god for giving me this angel in my arms
You're my little angel
So baby don't you cry
It's time to spread your wings and fly
If there's one thing this father knows
The hardest part is letting go
But you will still always be your daddy's little angel
When you were young I used to laugh at the funny things you'd say
Right now I just can't help but smile
On this blessed day
You're my little angel
So baby don't you cry
It's time to spread your wings and fly
If there's one thing this father knows
The hardest part is letting go
But you will still always be your daddy's little angel
I'm giving you away
But I'm not letting go
As the song drifted to a close I buried my head in dad's chest letting my tears soak into his shirt. He just stood there and rubbed my back letting my cry myself out.
When I finally pulled myself together I backed up. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked me over to Jasper.
Jasper held out his hand and dad took it pulling him into a hug whispering something in his ear.
I didn't hear what he said, but I heard Jasper's reply of, "Always Charlie."
Dad nodded his head once and moved away.
From then on I was constantly dancing.
I danced with Jasper again and then Alec. Edward, Emmett, all the boys from the rez, Carlisle, Harry, my new father-in-law John, Phil, and even Billy followed with more of Jasper, Alec, and my dad thrown into the mix
It was almost 1 in the morning when I found myself once again back with Jasper and time to dance our last dance of the night.
The DJ came over the speakers again and said, "If you would please clear the away for Bella and Jasper to dance to Bella's song."
Everyone formed a circle around us again and the music started.
You're my world
The shelter from the rain
You're the pills
That take away my pain
You're the light
That helps me find my way
You're the words
When I have nothing to say
And in this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am
Still tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you
Still tangled up in you
You're the fire
That warms me when i'm cold
You're the hand
I have to hold as I grow old
You're the shore
When I am lost at sea
You're the only thing
That I like about me
And in this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am
Still tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you
How long has it been
Since this storyline began
And I hope it never ends
And goes like this forever
As the song wound down I looked up at Jasper and said, "I love you Mr. Whitlock."
"I love you too, Mrs. Whitlock." He said back and placed a kiss on my lips.
Laying my head back on his chest we danced our way into the rest of our lives.
In this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am Still tangled up in you
Tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you
Still tangled up in you
