A/N: Here is the Wedding chapter and I have to say that it is one of my most favorite chapters. It is a long one because I just couldn't end it until I got through the reception. I hope you like all of the different conversations that Paul and Bella have with people they love along with their vows and song choices. I am working on the next chapter from my bed becuase as I stated on my profile that I have the H1N1 and unitl my fever breaks there is not much more I can do besides sleep and write; which is good for all of my loyal readers.
Thank you to everyone who reviewed on the last chapter.
I do not own anything including the songs included in this chapter.
Chapter 28: Wedding Bells!
PPOV
Today was the day that I had longed for since Bella had agreed to become my wife those few short months ago. She was absolutely glowing in her pregnancy even with the onslaught of feeling everyone's emotions with their auras. I couldn't wait to see her in her wedding dress because I knew that she would look just like an angel, an angel that was made especially for my soul.
After last weeks bachelor party, were we just basically hung out in the club and tried to get drunk while trying to one up one another in sex stories, I was grateful that I had the opportunity to know that the party lifestyle was not for me. I was ready to be a husband and a father. The provider and protector of my growing family and I was just counting down the minuets until that minister pronounces us husband and wife.
I was at our house with my groomsmen Jake, and Jared, my best man Sam, junior groomsman Seth, and ring bearers Collin and Brady getting ready. The Cullen men along with Eleazar and Peter were down at the beach per the pixies strict orders of finishing setting up all of the details for the ceremony and reception. Alice may be tiny, but she is sure one scary vampire when she gets into her planning mode.
Luckily Bella had decided on this beach theme wedding so I was in a tan suit with a dark blue colored dress shirt underneath it, also everyone in the wedding party was to be barefoot. That seemed a little weird to me because I had never been to a wedding before where you didn't wear shoes, but she wanted this whole barefoot at sunset thing going on and I was all too happy to make her wishes come true.
I have to admit when I first met the Cullen's face to face I wanted to hate them with a passion for leaving my love in such a way, but as I watched her interact with these vampires that she obviously considered family I began to relax a little around them. Jasper and Emmett are actually like one of the guys in the pack now and when Peter got here he just fit right in with everyone. Esme was like the mother that I wished mine had been after my dad and sisters were killed; and Carlisle was the calm leader that everyone looked to for guidance. I was shocked that beings that we had considered our mortal enemies could now be considered friends, and maybe someday family, but I guess in life there are always surprises around every corner.
There is only one thing that is missing from today and that is my parents and little sisters. I did not invite my step-dad, in fact I had not spoken to him since I phased for the first time. I know that wherever my family is they are looking down on me today and happy that I have found a new family that has healed my broken soul. I wish that they could have met Bella and the boys because they would have just loved her, I know they would have. I miss them everyday, but I am no longer haunted by their memories and the time that was stolen from us. I am healed and Bella made that possible.
It was getting close to twilight and Sam came into the bedroom where I was sitting on the bed dressed and ready to go looking at the wedding band that we had picked out to go with her engagement ring. It was a simple thin band with seven round diamonds set inside of it, to represent every member of our growing family as it stands now. I know that we will probably have more children in the future, if we survive this upcoming battle, but I wanted a physical reminder to Bella that I was not only marrying her on this day, but the boys and our three little ones growing inside of her. (Ring on my profile)
"You ready to go Paul?" Sam asked joining me on the bed.
"Yeah I have been waiting forever for this day." I answered truthfully.
"I know that I am not your father, but as your alpha I consider you like a son and I want you to know that I am proud of you, Paul. You have grown up in so many ways since Bella has come into your life and I am happy that you are getting your forever with your imprint. It is rare that one finds someone that completes them so fully, but you and me along with Jake and Quil have been blessed with just that. Cherish her and never forget how much you love her or how much she loves you, no matter what life throws at you. Remember you will always have a family in the pack, but she is where your true home lies." Sam spoke with such conviction in every word that I was just in awe listening to him speak.
"Thanks Sam, I appreciate that; and I promise to never let her go because I know that I would not be able to live without her. I love her so much that I feel like it is suffocating me sometimes, but then all she has to do is look at me and smile for me to calm down and just bask in the good fortune that fate has blessed me with." I answered shutting the ring box and handing it to him for the ceremony.
"Good, now let's go get you hitched. Everyone is waiting downstairs." Sam said while getting off the bed and walking towards the door.
When we walked downstairs we were met by the rest of the men in the wedding party along with Quil, Embry, and Charlie. Everyone gave me a quick pat on the back before we walked the short distance down to the beach. The guys were just laughing and joking about the women and how they had almost broke the nose of two drunk girls who kissed Jasper and Jake after Bella and I left the club last Saturday. Who knew that quiet little Angela had such a strong right hook? I guess that she left the girl crying and bleeding on the dance floor while Emmett and Rosalie had to hold Alice back from attacking the other girl. I wish I had been there to see that, but not really because at that exact same time I was making my girl scream my name and feel pleasures that only I could produce.
Once we walked down the little pathway that led to the hidden beach we could see all of the work that Alice and Bella had done on the decorations. There were Japanese lanterns lighting the pathway that made it glow in the fading light. As we reached the beach I could see that the platform that I had built for Bella the night I proposed was now adorned with an arch covered in brightly covered flowers; that I did not know the names off. There were rows of chairs that the guest would sit in and alongside the rows there was more lighting that was also Japanese looking with white screens in a box form; so the light source was hidden within it walls. It was absolutely beautiful combined with the soft waves that were hitting the shore.
There were a few people sitting already and I gave a nod to each of them as I made my way up on the raised platform, next to Rev. Weber. The guys took there spots next to me with Sam taking the best man's position. My nerves were starting to get to me and I was trembling. Sam noticed and put a hand on my shoulder to give me a reassuring squeeze. It did help calm me down because I stopped to take a couple deep breaths as the last of the guests were seated as Rosalie started to play the piano that was set on another platform off to the side. The music began and the bridesmaids began to walk down to join us.
This was it in just a few moments I would see the love of my life walking towards me to become my wife. I tuned everything out as I saw Leah, Kim, Angela, Alice, and Emily walk down the sandy beach followed by Brady and Collin holding the flower girl, Claire, as she threw flower petals on the ground.
Finally my world regained focus as I saw my angel all dressed in white on her father's arms walking towards me. She seemed to glow with a beauty that no other could match, she was radiant. She was all mine and as soon as she saw me waiting for her, she smiled the largest and most peaceful smile I have ever seen as she made her way towards her destiny with me.

I am getting married today. By the end of the night I will forever be Mrs. Paul Levi. I never thought that I would be a teenage bride or mother, but now that is within reach I just want to embrace it with every fiber of my being. I love Paul so much and have found so much contentment just in his mere presence that I do not really know how I lived before he entered into my life.
Alice dragged me away from my boys last night saying it was bad luck for him to see the bride before the wedding; I spent the night at the Cullen's where all of my girls and I had a spa party. It was a nice relaxing evening, but when it came time to get some sleep I was wired with thoughts that something was going to go wrong tomorrow. Alice kept assuring me that everything would be fine, but every now and then she would blank out into a vision and look a little concerned. When I asked her about it she would just brush it off as something small, but for some reason I didn't believe her. I think she was trying to make sure that my wedding day was perfect and didn't want to worry me unless it was absolutely necessary.
I spent half of the night tossing and turning in my bedroom that Esme had designed for me and Paul, with a nursery right next door; ready to be decorated once we find out the sex of the triplets. I couldn't foresee us staying many nights at their house, but I knew that Alice, Rose, and Esme would probably want to have the babies over some nights for babysitting duty; and I was all for it knowing that I was going to need a night off every once and a while. I loved that I got to share this special occasion with my mother and sisters because that is what they are to me, forever.
Around three in the morning I decided that maybe some warm milk would help me find some sleep so I trudged my way down the stairs. For a house where no one sleeps it was awfully quiet and I knew that was because all of the Cullen's except for Alice and Esme had gone out hunting. I turned on the lights in the kitchen as I made my way over to the refrigerator; I knew that it was well stocked because of all the meals Esme had been preparing lately. As I was finishing warming the milk I turned around with my filled mug to see Esme smiling warmly from the counter.
"Is there anything I can help you with dear?" She asked getting up from her chair.
"No thank you Esme, I just couldn't sleep. I thought that this might help. Do you mind if I sit with you for a while?" I asked quietly.
"No dear, in fact I am glad I have this opportunity to talk to you in private." Esme motioned me to join her in the living room.
"Sure, what did you want to talk to me about?" I sat on the couch and faced my mother like figure with a curious smile.
"I just wanted to tell you how much Carlisle and I love you sweetheart; and that we consider you like a daughter to us. I know that what we did to you after you birthday was terrible; and no matter how much you forgive us I will always carry the hurt inside of me knowing I caused one of my children such heartache. I want you to know that we will always be here for you and your family no matter what because I know that I could not spend one more day separated from you." Esme spoke with unshed tears in her eyes.
"Esme I love you and I do see you and Carlisle as my second parents because I know one day that Charlie and Renee will no longer be around and I will need you all that more. To tell you the truth I think at first when you left I was so focused on losing Edward that I could only concentrate on that part of my broken heart, but as time wore on I noticed that I was thinking less and less about him no longer being in my life, and more about my absent family that I could no longer be a part of. I think that is what really caused me to go into such a state of depression for so long is because I felt unworthy and unloved, but now that you have come back to me after I healed myself I am able to see that you tried to leave me because you did love me. I want you all to be in my life and the lives of my children because I know that then they will be filled with so much love and sense of family with you around. I love you Esme, my forever mom." I finished with shedding the tears she could not and scooted across the couch to her and hugged her tightly.
"I love you too, my forever daughter. I also have a gift for you that I have given to every one of my daughters the first time they got married." She announced as she turned and pulled a black box out of the side table.
"Esme you didn't have to get me anything, I mean you have already done enough for the wedding and the nursery." I tried to persuade her that I did not need anything more than her love for me.
"Nonsense this is a tradition that this family does and I want to continue it." She answered me; and then handed me the box.
I opened it and saw the most beautiful necklace I had ever seen. It had two heart shaped pendants that the end; that upon further inspection were each filled with dozens of diamonds. It was simple, yet classy and perfect to wear with my dress tomorrow. (Picture link on my profile!)
"It's breathtaking, thank you Esme. I promise I will always cherish it." I kissed her on the cheek.
"Your welcome dear, both Alice and Rose received similar ones when they married Jasper and Emmett only in different colored stones. Alice has the emeralds, Rose the rubies, and I have the sapphires, but I thought that your pure beauty that the diamonds would be perfect for you. Every time you look at it I want you to remember how much you love not only your husband, but your family as well. Well I guess I better let you get some sleep; you have a busy day tomorrow. Goodnight sweetheart." Esme hugged and kissed me on the cheek before leaving the room.
"I promise Esme, and goodnight." I said knowing that she would hear me.
I put my now empty mug in the sink and turned out the lights as I made my way up the stairs to try and get some much needed sleep. My head hit the pillow and I was immediately off into a deep sleep dreaming about the future and the love of my life that would be waiting patiently tomorrow to make me his for eternity as his wife.
I was awakened what seemed like minuets later by a way to hyper pixie jumping on my bed screaming at me to get up.
"Come on Bella, wake up, I have only have so many hours to make you look absolutely perfect; so you need to march that pretty little butt into that shower because I need to get to work. Now move it young lady." Alice ordered me in her most serious voice that sounded comical coming from her, but I knew that she was one hundred percent serious; so I stalked off into the large connecting bathroom to take a long hot shower.
Once all of the warm water disappeared down the drain I got out and dried off. It was only a few minuets later that Alice was in the room with me drying and pinning my hair into curlers. Rose joined us and was helping with my makeup. I tried to just close my eyes and let them get as much work done on me while I got a couple more moments of sleep.
It was getting close to lunch time when Esme came in the room with sandwiches and something to drink for me. I had never been more grateful to her than in that moment because I was starving, thanks to my growing pregnancy appetite I could almost eat all of the wolves under the table. Once I was finished Alice took out the curlers in my hair and her and Rose began to pin them back in an elegant half up half down fashion, before she attached the long veil to the back. It was perfect and simple, but just what I wanted.
They kept my makeup fairly neutral with light pinks for my eyes and lips. Once she said that I was ready she helped me put on my necklace Esme had given me along with some diamond stud earrings that Rosalie let me borrow. For my something blue Alice had gotten me a blue garter that I knew Paul would have a grand ole' time removing at the reception, much to my embarrassment. Everyone was going barefoot so I could not have the penny in the shoe, but that was okay. My dress was new and my engagement ring was old so I had everything covered according to Alice.
They helped me into my dress before heading off to get dressed themselves. Angela, Kim, Emily, Leah, and Claire were in the other bathrooms, but soon they had all joined me in mine looking absolutely beautiful in their dresses.
My mom had flown into Seattle late last night and I knew that she was just as excited to see her daughter get married as Charlie was. She came into the room already crying and hugged me for a good five minuets before she was able to speak.
"Bella you look so grown up and beautiful. I never dreamed that when I gave birth to you those few short years ago that I would see this day come; and you standing here in front of me with the man of your dreams. I am so proud of the woman that you have grown up to be. I love you sweetie." She whispered in my ear.
"Thanks mom, I love you too; always will." I kissed her on her cheek and just took a moment to think back on all the happy childhood memories I had shared with Renee. It was good thing Alice had used waterproof mascara because I would have for sure ruined her hard work on my makeup by now with all the tears that I was producing.
All too soon it was time to go and I was starting to have a hard time breathing.
"Bella, its okay, Paul is waiting for you. You can do this; everything is going to be perfect." Emily said to me putting her arm through mine as we descended the stairs of the Cullen mansion. We all piled into Carlisle and Esme's matching Mercedes and started the short drive to La Push.
Once we arrived at the parking lot that led to the beach I could already see that it was filled with the cars of our guests. I could also see my father waiting for me at the entrance taking and laughing with his two grandsons. They all looked very handsome in their tan suits. Alice helped me get out of the car with a final touch up on all of the girls makeup and hair she handed all of us our bouquets. Mine had brightly colored Gerber daisies that were a shade similar to magenta; it was paired with coral colored roses and other exotic flowers. The bridesmaids all had similar bouquets only smaller with magenta and coral roses; and Claire's flower girl basket was filled with the same colored rose petals for her to throw. I could also see the guys all had similar roses pinned to the lapels of their suit jackets. Everything looked exactly how I had pictured it and I was already tearing up. (Flowers are on my profile as well, take a look!)
"Daddy," I called out to him as I made my way across the lot. All three of them turned and smiled huge smiles when they saw me.
"Hey kiddo, you look so grow up and so beautiful. I love you Bells." Dad kissed me on the cheek and when he pulled away I could see some tears in his eyes; that he was trying to hide.
"I love you to Daddy." I kissed him back and then went over to my boys and gave them the same. I was so happy to have them support me on this day.
"Bella its time." Alice announced jumping up and down.
"Okay, I'm ready." And I was.
Alice lined us up in the order we were to walk down the sandy pathway and I could hear Rose starting to play the music, signally our entrance. My father put his arm around mine as we waited our turn to go. At last everyone had made their way to the front and the music changed to Cannon in D for my trip down the aisle and I heard everyone stand up and look back to where I was standing.
We both started walking and I looked towards the front still unable to see Paul because of the trees, but just knowing that as soon as I saw him everyone else in attendance would disappear; and they did because once we were out of the trees and on the beach all I could see was my Paul standing there looking as gorgeous as ever waiting for me. I broke out into a huge grin and tried to remain my composure to go at a reasonably slow pace. Finally after what seemed like miles, but was really only a small walk my father placed my small hands inside of Paul's large ones, before taking his seat next to Sue, my mom and Phil.
All I could do was look into Paul's deep brown eyes and see all the love and adoration that he had for me and I am sure mine reflected the same.
"You look so beautiful my love." Paul whispered to me.
"So do you handsome. I love you." I whispered back and gave his hand a squeeze.
"I love you too." He squeezed my hand back as the Rev. Weber began to speak.
"These two people stand before you today to join in holy matrimony; the couple wants to tell their emotions and thoughts to each other before they exchange vows. Paul would you care to begin?" Rev. Weber motioned for him to begin.
Paul turned towards me and grabbed my other hand before speaking, tears were getting close to falling out of my eyes just thinking about what I was going to hear from him, but I wanted to see his beautiful face as he spoke so I kept them in as best I could.
"Bella, my love, the moment I looked into your eyes the world shifted so that the only thing that I could see was you. Before you entered my life I was filled with heartache and loneliness from losing my family, knowing I would never be happy in this life ever again. You changed that broken soul that resided within me and made me one of the happiest men walking on this green Earth. I will forever love you with my entire heart, body, and soul." Paul was speaking, but took a deep breath before continuing; I was just soaking up every word that was coming out of his mouth knowing that he only spoke the truth.
"I never believed in fate or destiny, but one smile from you and I knew that I would be forever destined to walk by your side. My love I promise that there will not be a day that goes by in your life where I do not tell you 'I love you' or show you how much you mean to me. Whatever the future may have in store for us we will face it together; side by side for eternity. You are my soul, you are my heart, you are my love, and now you will be my wife. I love you Bella." Paul finished with a quick kiss to my forehead and a couple of tears escaping down his cheeks.
"Bella?" Rev. Weber motioned that it was my turn and I took a couple of deep breaths before beginning.
"Paul I was a shell, who had her heart broken in the most hurtful of ways and I didn't think I could ever break the walls I had constructed around my heart in order to love someone again, but all that changed that afternoon I walked into Sam's house and saw you standing there. From that moment on my past, while still in my memories, did not cause me pain anymore because I knew that my future lied with you. Every heartbeat that beats in my chest, every thought that passes through my head, and every breath that I take belongs to you." I took a shaky breath and could see with my peripheral vision that almost everyone in the audience was tearing up as well.
"My love for you is eternal, written in the stars before we were even born; and while the journey into each others arms was not always pleasant we made it. Now for the rest of our lives we will be together, each sharing an equal share of the others heart and soul. The road may be bumpy at times, but side by side we will face it all head on. Today is just the beginning of our story as husband and wife, and our love will never have an ending that can be written. I have found my heart, I have found my soul, and I have found my home for all eternity. I love you for always." I was barely able to finish with the onslaught of emotions that were taking over my body from everyone, but I suddenly felt a calm energy flow towards me and I knew that Jasper was trying to help me trough this.
"Those were beautiful words full of so much love and hope for the future; and so it seems now is the time for the rings." The minister continued on and we both turned to Sam and Emily who had our rings.
The ring that we had chosen for Paul was a large white gold band that had two rings inside of it that we thought was good representation that their were two individuals joined in this marriage, but we only worked successfully when joined. I had it engraved with 'my love, imprinted on my soul forever'. (On profile)
We exchanged the typical 'I do's' and then proceeded to light our unity candle before Rev. Weber finally reached the conclusion of the ceremony.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife joined forever in a union of love and cooperation that no one can break. You may now kiss the bride." He announced and Paul wasted no time in pulling me into him with a passionate kiss.
I forgot that we were surrounded by dozens of people as we were both consumed with each other and showing how much love as we could to one another through our embrace. I could hear in the background claps and catcalls until we finally had to break apart to breathe.
"For the first time in front of their family and friends it is my pleasure to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Paul Levi." He concluded and everyone broke out into cheers again.
We turned to face everyone with large smiles on our faces as we walked back down the beach pathway. All too soon we were embraced by all the others in congratulations, but all I could think about was Paul's hand that was still entwined with mine. Once the line had gone through the entire wedding party was whisked away by Alice to the get all the photos taken while our guests went into the large white tent that was positioned a little farther down the beach.
Once we were satisfied that we had taken every possible picture we joined our guests. The tent was decorated with more Japanese lanterns, flowers filled each tables, and candles were lit next to them creating low lighting just perfect for the beach atmosphere that viewable on one side of the tent, while the forest was on the other. It was like we were in our own little world, it was perfect. In the center of the dance floor was a large white cake that had more flowers cascading down it many tiers.
We took our seats in front of everyone while dinner was served. Soon it was time for the speeches. Sam stood up and got everyone's attention in the room before turning towards us.
"Bella and Paul, I have had the privilege of being there for the start of your relationship and from that moment on I knew that you two would be inseparable. You both have been blessed with a love that is rare in this world, but that is how fate has willed it; so my words of advice to both of you are to never forget to kiss each other every morning when you wake up and every night before you go to bed. We all at this table consider you both our family and as such it is my duty as spokesperson is to say how much we all love and support you, but if you do anything to hurt her Paul, she has a whole pack of brothers who could easily hide your body in the forest." Sam finished his speech with such a serious face that I knew he was telling the truth, but everyone else broke into laughter at his final statement. We both stood up and Paul gave him a hug, while I gave him a kiss on the cheek whispering our thanks.
"Paul, Bella you have so much love flowing between you two that I feel honored to share this day with you. I consider you my brother and sister, as I know the other girls do as well. We all look forward to seeing your love grow only stronger in the future as the years pass. We all love you and are here for you both always." Emily speech was short, but filled with so much love that we were both in tears. I gave her a long hug, followed by Paul. We had such an amazing family filled with so many unique and colorful individuals, but we knew that even without one it would not be the same.
A few moments later Paul and I made our way to the center of the room to cut the cake and take more pictures. Of course Paul had to cram the cake into my face, which I promptly returned the favor. Once we had cleaned up it was time for our first dance. Even though we had our song, we both decided that was just for when we are alone; and I had recently heard a song that fit exactly everything that our relationship is.
Paul pulled me into his arms and began to twirl me around the dance floor once the music started, as our loved ones watched on.
Only You Can Love Me This Way By: Keith Urban
Well, I know there's a reason
And I know there's a rhyme
We were meant to be together
And that's why
We can roll with the punches
We can stroll hand in hand
And when I say it's forever
You understand
That you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
But when it becomes too much
You're never far behind
And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
I could have turned a different corner
I could have gone another place
Then I'd of never had this feeling
That I feel today, yeah
Paul sang the lyrics to me like he did at prom before dipping me. I came back up and kissed him with everything I had because the lyrics were right he was always in my heart and always on my mind; and no one can love me like he can.
And you're always in my heart
Always on my mind
When it all becomes too much
You're never far behind
And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
Ooh
And you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
And when it all becomes too much
You're never far behind
And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
Ooh
Only you can love me this way
Once the song was finished Paul kissed me and whispered 'I love you' we were joined by the rest of the wedding party. I had the song I wanted all of the imprinted couples along with Alice and Jasper, and Rosalie and Emmett to dance to almost from the time I started planning the reception. It said everything that what being soul mates is and how you never want to miss one moment of you loves life.
I don't want to Miss a Thing by: Aerosmith
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever, forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
As I looked around at the dancing couples surrounding us I could see the amount of love reflected in all of their faces just like mine and Paul's. It was magical seeing all of these couples that were so complete in their feelings for one another and I was blessed to be a part of each and every one of their lives.
I don't wanna miss one smile, I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you, right here with you. Just like this
I just want to hold you close, feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep
Yeah, I don't want to miss a thing
Once all the couples left the floor I danced with my father, my sons, the pack, Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle, Peter, and Eleazar. Each of them told me how much they loved me and was glad to see that I was so happy. I actually caught Paul dancing with Esme; and was so happy to see him starting to see her as somewhat of a mother figure. After all of the traditional dances were out of the way people began to join us on the dance floor. For around an hour we all just let loose and have a good time with all of the different music the DJ was playing.
Soon it was time to throw the bouquet and I was able with my new found abilities to locate Angela's aura and toss it directly into her waiting hands; knowing full well that Jake planned on purposing as soon as he turned eighteen in a few months. She was so happy; and I saw Jake wink at her from across the room.
Next I had to sit in front of practically every male in the room while Paul slipped his head underneath my dress's skirt to retrieve my blue garter. Of course Jasper had to make everyone feel like they were in a competition as Paul flung it towards them. I was laughing hysterically, along with the rest of the people watching, as Emmett and Jake were in what looked to be a death match for the flimsy piece of fabric. Finally Jasper relented on his torment on their emotions and Emmett was victorious, after which he a Rosalie disappeared into the woods for a few moments. I really did not want to know what they were doing out there.
We spent the rest of the night dancing under the stars and laughing with our family. I have to say it was the perfect wedding and it only got better because I was in the arms of the man I loved forever.
"This is just where I need to be, right here in your arms." I said to Paul as we twirled around on the dance floor for our final dance.
"I couldn't agree more my darling. I love you forever and this is only the beginning, like you said earlier." Paul whispered in my ear making me shiver with desire thinking about what activities lay before us for the next two weeks.
Little did I know that my world would be torn in two before dawn broke the next day?
****So what did you think of the wedding, did I do a good job or not. I thought the song choices were perfect for them. I promise next chapter will be from Edward's point of view so we can see what he has been up to until now. I am warning you now that Edward in this story is not going to be a little different than SM version when he finds out that Bella is in love with a different man, but don't fear he might cause some problems and heartache for Bella, but he will hopefully redeem himself later on in the story. As I stated on my profile this story will have approx. 40 chapters by the time it is all complete; so we still have a ways to go until it all finished.
***Please Review and let me know how I am doing. I am sure that every review that I get will help me get better all the faster and work on getting the next chapter completed shortly.
