Ch 34-Sin City
Next thing you know, it was Friday February 13th and we were loading up Emmett's truck to haul the six of us to Vegas. We would only be gone until Sunday morning, so we didn't have that much stuff to cart around.
Five hours later, Edward and I headed to City Hall to get our marriage license as our ceremony was booked for ten the next morning. We left the other four at the hotel to check in and get situated. We promised to call them to meet up as soon as we had our license in hand.
The line was really long and since it was Vegas, you could drink while waiting in it. Edward and I only had one beer each as we didn't want to get drunk while waiting to enter a courthouse. There were a bunch of people already dressed for their weddings in line and in retrospect getting married on Friday the 13th would have made sense for us.
Two hours later, license in hand, we headed to Murphy's Irish Pub at New York New York to meet everyone else. The atmosphere was pretty laid back in here so we decided to order dinner and hang out for a little while before heading back to our hotel. We all wanted a good nights' sleep before the ceremony.
I smacked the alarm when it went off at eight the next morning. I jumped onto Edward happy that we were getting married. I could hear mumbling from out in the living room area, so I ran out there to find Rose and Alice already awake and showered.
"Get in the shower, B" Alice yelled and smacked me on the ass. I didn't protest too much as we had three boys that needed to get ready as well. I paid special attention to lady scaping while I was in there. I pushed Edward into the shower when I got out.
I made sure that no one else was in the room, shut the door and got into my special 'wedding' clothes. Edward and I had decided to dress alike with matching shirts and black bottoms. I Pulled on some white tights and threw on my long black skirt. I was zipping up my calf length black boots when Edward walked in.
"You look great, baby." He kissed the top of my head and handed me my shirt. We had decided to wear long sleeve black King Stahlman Bail Bond shirts. I knew Alice might say something about it, but as it was my wedding, I didn't care.
When Edward and I joined the others in the living room area, they were speechless. Alice looked us up and down then a smile came over her face. "This would only work for you two." She giggled.
Emmett linked his arm through mine, "Let's go Madam. Your chariot waits." We all laughed and headed to the parking garage. We found the Chapel easy enough and the six of us climbed out and headed to the registration desk.
Once Edward and I had checked in, we were led to a building outside the main one. The inside was done to look like a 1950's diner and it was awesome. The person that walked us out there went to the back of the diner to get Elvis as we looked around. When he came back out he had Elvis with him. Our Elvis was dressed in a red polyester jumpsuit with sequins around the lapels and it was cut almost to his belly button. The best part though, was that you could tell that Elvis shaves his chest as he had stubbles growing back in. It was the right amount of crazy for us.
Elvis instructed Edward to stand at the front and me to the back of the diner. I was met back there with a lady in a black robe, and she handed me a white rose. As we didn't even consider having flowers, this was a nice gesture.
One of Elvis' many songs came on and I was told to walk down the tile, yes tile not aisle as the floor was black and white tile. I met Edward up near the diner counter in front of Elvis. Alice and Rose stood on my side and Emmett and Jasper on Edward's side. As soon as Edward and I caught each other's eye, we almost busted out laughing.
Elvis began his ceremony utilizing as many Elvis song titles as he could into the ceremony. I kept backing away a little bit at a time as Elvis smelled as if he had been on a drinking binge until three minutes ago. I wrinkled my nose and caught Edward's eye again and he stifled a laugh.
Once Elvis pronounced us man and wife, "Viva Las Vegas" came on over the loudspeaker and we all twisted around and danced and sang. It was really fun and had only been a ten minute long ceremony. Edward and I walked back down the aisle together and were met with the lady in the black robe. She was a justice of the peace and actually wedded us legally. We signed the documents and went on out to the parking lot.
The professional photographer met us out there and had us set up in a few different poses as our names were flashed in lights on the sign: Congratulations Bella and Edward Cullen! It was pretty surreal. We headed back in to the diner and took a few pictures with Elvis and everyone else. My favorite picture of the day is Edward and me with our backs to Elvis as he is on his knees pointing to the back of our King Stahlman shirts. Elvis honoring the King was pretty cool.
Once it was all over, we headed back to the hotel so I could change out of my skirt. I was able to find an empty beer can laying around to put my wedding flower in. Edward kicked everyone else out for fifteen minutes so we could consummate the marriage. We met them at the hotel bar later on and we all decided to have a drink at every bar on the strip.
This took hours and we did eat eventually before making it back to our hotel room. We were all pretty buzzed by then and as we were leaving the next morning, we needed water, Advil and sleep. I fell asleep in my new husbands arms.
.Ever.
