Chapter 36 NPOVWedding Crashers

This was one of those nights that I really wished that I could sleep. It's not very often that you have to stay up all night in anticipation of your wedding. Not that I didn't stay up every night as it was, but having to wait for you to be wed to the love of your existence was tortuous.

Peyton and I had decided that we were going to try and stay away from each other a whole twenty-four hours until the actual wedding. We figured it would be all the more fun at the reunion when we would finally see each other again.

But now that I'd been away from her for, oh, roughly twenty hours now, I was wishing that I hadn't even suggested this idea. That's right, I am inflicting pain upon myself. And I was the one who thought of this brilliant plan to begin with. Me, an idiot? I do believe so. Honestly, I'm surprised that I have lasted this long.

I swear it's been longer that we've been apart. After only two hours had gone by, I was sure that it had at least been ten. Perhaps I was a little excited for this wedding I was going to be having? Or maybe it was what was going to happen after that said wedding? There was a very good chance indeed that it was the latter.

The Cullen men tried to cheer me up some, but they were all dreadfully terrible at keeping a person entertained. Emmett wouldn't shut up about how amazing it was going to be that night, which wasn't helping matters at all. As if I was excited about that part of this day to begin with, he had to excite me even more, much to my chagrin.

Jasper was of course trying to help, but he could only do so much. He had been trying for so long, just to keep me happy and keep my anxiety to a minimum, but with Emmett going off on one of his tangents, Jasper couldn't help himself, which made it so that I couldn't help myself. After a while, Jasper just gave up saying he did what he could. I couldn't blame him though. If anyone, it was all Emmett's fault for having such a sick and perverted mind. I swear that's all the boy thought about.

Then there was Edward. He was also a little moody himself. He just kept getting jealous throughout the whole day, and it kept getting worse as the minutes passed. He couldn't help but feel jipped that I was the one getting married today, and not him. He claims that that was the only reason he was moody, but I say it's because he wants Bella more than he'll ever admit to anyone outside himself. I don't even think he'll ever admit to Bella how much he wants her.

Carlisle was, well, probably the most helpful. It wasn't necessarily that he actually did anything that made any of this situation better, but he was in no way making it any worse like other certain family members. He decided to be the nice one, and actually not be a pain in the arse.

Mostly all he spoke were comforting thoughts. "This is a great day for you, son," or, "Everything is going to be perfect, you'll see." I honestly think that he is the main reason that I've been able to live for the past eighteen hours at all to begin with.

"Nate, would you stop worrying about it?" Emmett called over to me from the other side of the family room. "Honestly, you keep fidgeting, and flipping the channels, and it's getting really annoying. So, could you tone it down a bit?"

I looked down at my hands and saw them shaking slightly. I hadn't even noticed, but Emmett was right. I did keep flipping channels repeatedly. I wasn't really paying much attention, which one could easily tell just by looking at me. Last I remembered, I was watching some random baseball game. Now I was on some baking channel, showing how to make the perfect soufflé. I doubted anyone in this household was going to need to see this.

Jasper leaned over across the couch and snagged the remote control out of my limp hands. "Thank you," he said with a chip on his shoulder. Apparently he was pissed off now too. Jerks. Not like it was my fault that the nerves were getting to me. I'm sure they were nervous their first time around getting married also. Why couldn't they just give a brother a break?

"Sorry," I told them, but shut up quickly thereafter receiving a dirty look from Emmett. I guess he didn't want to have to hear my sob story again, which made sense I supposed. I'd probably said how nervous I was at least a good hundred times if not more. I'm sure they were far past sick of hearing it.

I looked over at the clock again like I had an innumerable amount of times today. One o'clock in the afternoon. That meant that I still had three hours until the actual wedding, and at least another hour and half before I had to start getting ready.

I threw my head back against the couch. Could this day get any longer?

I saw Edward look over at me with a grin. I'd say I'd help you make it a bit shorter, but I've decided to be cruel today.

My eyes shot over to him. He has something that I could do for the next while and get some nerves out while also keep myself occupied, and he wasn't telling me. That dick.

Edward, I begged, please, please I'll do practically anything now. Just get me out of this hell hole.

His eyes glinted in the light as his smile turned mischievous. I wished then that I could take back that little bit of a promise I'd just made. I didn't know if I was willing to do what he had planned.

Well, come on then. I need your help with something, and it's got to get done within the next few hours, so hurry it up.

I looked over at him warily. I wasn't so sure I wanted to go now. Um, I don't know…

Oh would you hush, Edward's head hissed at me. Just come. You'll find out what's happening soon enough.

I got up off the couch as Edward did, and followed him out of the house. I was sure I was going to get killed, or at least that something was going to happen.

He led me out to his Volvo and told me to get in. I hopped in to the front seat as he climbed in on the drivers' side. He revved he engine and started it up, speeding down our own little lane and out to the main road.

"So, what are we doing Edward?" I asked cautiously.

He sighed while giving me a sidelong glance. "Well. I was thinking," he paused, debating whether or not he really wanted to tell me this, I was sure. I waited for him to continue, but he just sat there.

"You were thinking…" I prodded him forward.

"Yes, I was thinking. And I think that I ought to get a tux too. In fact, maybe all of need to get a tux. Yes, that's it. Let's go get some tuxes for this whole shin dig, and just have one superb time!" he said with far too much fake enthusiasm.

I looked over at him, now somewhat scared. What was going on inside that boys head?

"Um, Edward?"

"Yeah?"

"What's the real reason you decided to take me away from my nice and comfy couch? And don't say some lame excuse about tuxedos. Although I do think that is a good idea, and we are indeed going to get tuxes. But, why did we leave?"

Edward sighed again and stared straight ahead. "Trust me, you just thank me. You would not have liked it had you stayed at the house. Rosalie was… well. In short you wouldn't have been having a very good evening like you plan to had I let you stay there. There wouldn't be much for you to do tonight, because you wouldn't have anything left to do anything. Get the picture?"

My eyes went wide in shock. There was no way. He was lying. He had to be lying. Surely Rosalie wasn't still going on about the prank we all pulled. Granted it was namely Peyton and I, but even so, that was no reason to go anal on us!

"Oh yes, she would have," he told me gravely, answering my unvoiced thoughts. "And you know she would have. You know how she prized that hair of hers. I'm surprised you were stupid enough to actually go through with it. Not that we all weren't in on it, but still. Somehow, I expected a little more sense from you."

I gaped at him some more. This so could not be happening. If Rosalie was willing to do that to me before I was even able to get any pleasure at all from it, what on earth would she be willing to do to Peyton?

I shuddered at the thought. Peyton was so screwed and it would not be by me had I stayed at the house, apparently. Not only that, I'd have to be the one to clean it all up afterwards.

"Well, um, thanks Edward, I suppose. Did she think how, or what…?"

"There were a few things that crossed her mind. Namely, a scalding hot knife, a screwdriver, and the most painful, a spoon…" he shuddered. "Just be grateful that I care about you enough to save you from that hell."

I nodded to him wordlessly. I was kind of in a trance at the moment. I couldn't believe my own sister would do that to me. Psh, she deserved what she got, that little pig-headed brat.

"Well, any other big plans for the next little while?" I asked him.

He looked at me like I was an idiot. I raised my eyebrows at him. "What?"

"What are you, a goldfish? Weren't you just the one who said we were going to go get tuxedos for all us males besides yourself? Let's get to it!"

I mentally smacked myself. I really was an idiot. How could I forget that so quickly? Oh wait, that's right. I'd just been told my sister was planning to take my manhood away from me. No wonder my thoughts got all scrambled up.

…..

I was now getting ready. Edward and I had gotten the tuxedos with ease, and the whole family was getting ready now. I still wasn't allowed to see Peyton, and it was awful. She was only the next room over too. If only I could just-

Give it up Nate. You're not seeing her. Just drop it now.

I humphed.

Stupid brother. Why did he have to be so mean? If I could only just see her, I'd be happy.

Peyton and I had decided that we were going to get married out at our little river meadow, where we'd shared our first kiss. It was going to be straight up perfect. I wouldn't have chosen another place for such an occasion as this.

I pulled my white shirt up over my arms and shoulders, buttoning it up. I grabbed my tie and placed it around my neck, tying it up with ease. Walking over to my chair, I grabbed my suit jacket and slipped my arms through. I straightened out my outfit then dared to look at my hair.

I quickly ran a hand through it and made it have a messy part on the side. I checked my sideburns to make sure they were smoothed out and combed neatly before I walked out my bedroom door and down the stairs.

The rest of the males in the family were already down there, waiting for me. We all were going first so that we could set up last minute things before the girls arrived. Namely my beautiful bride.

We ran there and were at my own little grassy meadow within minutes. I stared at everything in shock. The whole place looked lovely. The girls really did a number on this place. There was a long white carpet leading to an arch of roses and other plants. A few chairs were lined up for some of the family to sit, and there were these lovely candle lights lit all around.

Beautiful was all there was to describe it. The only way it could have possibly been better, was if it could have been at a church.

All of us stood there waiting for the girls to come. They had said that they were just right behind us and would be there only minutes after we would be. Well, it had been minutes, and they still weren't here. I was far too anxious for my own good, and I knew it, yet couldn't seem to stop myself from moving my leg about in anticipation.

I glanced at each of my male family members. Carlisle was the one that was going to wed Peyton and I. He had on a more old-fashioned looking tuxedo that was white with a silver tie and vest. The coat was longer than most, but it fit him well.

Emmett, the idiot, also wore a white tux. With the platinum vest and tie, he looked pretty nice though, I had to admit. But why, he, of all people, wore white outside, I couldn't fathom the reason. But his big brawny self did look nice when he decided to actually clean up.

Jasper had on a black tuxedo that reminded me somewhat of a mixture of both Emmett and Carlisle's. It was the length of Carlisle's, but had the folded up top in the front of the jacket like Emmett's. He too had the silver tie and vest. The look of him now made me think back to his older days when he first was changed. I wondered how much different this felt to him.

Edward, my dear brother and best man, looked so much how I would imagine him back in the 1920's. The long coat he wore almost made me laugh. It was black of course, and seemed to fit the man perfectly. Of course he had a dark silver vest and tie on, like the rest of them. His vest though had little intricate designs running throughout it. It made him look even better with it on.

I glanced down at myself, and I suddenly felt very out of place. I was the only male to have red on instead of silver. I had a vest, same as Edward, but mine was a deep read color, along with my tie. I had on a black jacket with two buttons, and I felt extremely weird surrounded by all the silver and platinum colors. I knew that the reason behind this was to show that I was the groom, but it's not like any of us didn't know that already.

I grinned at them all nervously. They all seemed to roll their eyes and laugh at me while I tried to stand still waiting for the women to come.

Finally I saw Esme and Rosalie make their way out from the trees. I stared at them; they looked beautiful, more so than usual in their pretty new dresses. Rosalie had on a sleeveless platinum colored dress that had ruffles everywhere, with the dress cutting off at the knee. Her short hair was curled and she still looked brilliant like that. Why she freaked out so much about losing half her hair was beyond me.

Esme had a type of halter top dress that was also silver, but hers was long and touched the ground. I noticed that they all were matching each other with their respective partners; as well as everyone else. With the exception of me, who had no silver on at all.

Out from among the trees came Alice and Bella finally. Alice looked so adorable, her little short self with spiky hair bouncing her way over to the chair nearest to Jasper. Her dress was another halter top with ruffles all throughout the dress, and it seemed to fit her spunky personality perfectly.

Bella looked amazing as well. She, like Esme, had more of an elegant type of dress. It was a V-neck that criss-crossed down the front, and then laid out smoothly the rest of the way down to the ground. She walked over across from me and stood, waiting for Peyton. Bella was her maid of honor, the more important one if you will.

Alice grinned over at me as she bounced in her seat. If she was excited I guess that I should be too. Not that I wasn't, it was just that I was nervous to see Peyton, and have her see me. It was getting to be too hard to have to wait for her appearance.

Slowly, I saw Peyton's shape evolve from the trees. She walked forward with such grace, I was in awe. She stopped as she finally stepped out from the trees entirely and looked up at me shyly as she blushed, though I hardly noticed at all.

She looked incredible. Her white dress was a v- neck halter top, long and beautiful with a splash of red color going from around her waist to trail down the rest of the dress in the back. I could see, even from here, the intricate bead designs that played across the whole dress. Her hair was in curls and her head adorned a beautiful tiara with a veil. I stared into her eyes and realized that they matched the color of her sash.

She began to blush furiously and play with her hands as I continued to gape at her for long minutes until finally Carlisle gave a fake cough and snapped me back to the present. I turned to him and he smiled at me. I gave a weak smile back, not fully here quite yet.

I turned back to see Peyton starting to walk down our make-shift aisle carpet thing towards me. I knew that if I could, I'd be blushing now. She looked too gorgeous and perfect to be walking to me to marry me.

She came and stood right next to me, and grabbed my right hand with her left one. I squeezed her hand gently and she smile up at me. I gazed down into her eyes smiled down at her too. She was too beautiful.

Carlisle started off with the ceremony with "We are gathered here today…" and then continued onward throughout the whole thing. Then he asked for our wedding vows. I had thought I had this all prepared and thought through and memorized, but now that the moment was actually here, I suddenly didn't feel so prepared. And I was the one that had to go first. I decided that simple was going to be best in this situation.

I gazed into Peyton's eyes and got lost in everything around us. Suddenly there were only the two of us, and nothing else mattered in this world. It was Peyton and I. I opened my mouth and began to spill my heart out in a soft voice.

"Peyton, I promise to love you forever, beyond forever. You are more than everything to me. These last few months have been the best I've had in my 80 years of life and I cannot imagine spending the rest of this eternity with anyone other than you. I will stand by you with whatever happens to us, no matter if it be good, or bad. I'll stay with you from this day forward, and protect you from any thing that may come in our path. I know that God helped us find each other, though I've waited many years, and that once we're wed he'll see us as one, as I see us now, complete, and whole."

Peyton listened intently as I spilled out everything to her. She smiled on some parts and looked as though she were going to cry if she could. She smiled up at me now, as it was her turn to speak to me, and I was really nervous now.

"Nathaniel, today I'm joining my life in this existence to yours, not just as your wife, but as your friend, your lover, your soul mate. I loved you more than the life I had, and am glad I did this to be with you. I love you more now than I did then, and am more than ready and willing to walk into the dark with you down our pathway of this life. You made me whole when everything else in my life was taken out from under my feet. You are the most important thing to me now. I love you."

I started to choke on some of her words. She had given up her life to be with me. There was no way to even think that I loved her more. She had sacrificed the most important thing for me. Oh, how I loved her so…

We quickly exchanged our rings. They were both very simple bands, neither of us actually wanting to make a big deal out of it. Her engagement ring was good enough for her she had said.

"Well then. With that I present you man and wife. You may kiss the bride," Carlisle said, and I could hear the smile in his voice.

I brought one hand up to cup Peyton's face as the other wrapped itself around her waist, pulling her to me. I felt her hands snake around my neck as I bent down to kiss her. Her lips brushed mine and I kissed her back passionately. She kissed me deeper and it continued for a very short while, but by the time we pulled away, we were both breathing heavily.

The whole family was cheering and screaming and clapping all around. I grinned down at Peyton once again and couldn't help but kiss her once more.

I was finally married to her.

Esme came over and hugged us both and whispered her congratulations to us. Carlisle gave me a satisfying grin and pat on the back and hugged Peyton. Rosalie gave me the biggest hug I'd ever felt from her and gave another to Peyton as well.

"I'll get you two back, don't you worry," she told us as she grinned wickedly, walking off.

Emmett gave us this huge bear hug and cheered right in our ears. Jasper gave me a 'man' hug, and then awkwardly hugged Peyton. She kissed him on the cheek, and told him thanks again for everything he's done. Jasper smiled at her and nodded, walking back away.

Alice bounced over to us happily. She kissed my cheek and hugged me close. I loved this little girl. She was so cute and small; Alice was easily the greatest sister anyone could have. Then she went over to Peyton and hugged and kissed her, and straightened out her dress.

Edward gave me another huge hug and a few pats on the back. "Congrats brother. You're a lucky man. I hope to follow you soon after this." He went over to Peyton and hugged her too. "Who would have thought my old math partner would be my new sister?" he grinned at her, then kissed her cheek. Peyton hugged him again and gave him her thanks. Something about all the things he's done for her.

Bella ran over to Peyton and started jumping up and down with her. "Oh my gosh! You're married! Ahhh!!" they were screaming now and laughing together. "This is so cool!" They started laughing and hugging each other and gave each other quick kisses before splitting off to talk to the others.

Alice then announced that it was time for pictures to be done. I groaned. I hated pictures. But I supposed that it was better to do them the first time around, so that I'd never forget this day throughout eternity.

First she made Peyton and I pose together with our arms around each other, then us kissing with us both under her veil, and then us jumping off of a tree branch, which was, of course, my own idea.

Then we got some of all the men in the family together grabbing our tux jackets and grinning cheesily as we were all lined up together.

She had Edward take pictures of just the girls raising part of the dress up their leg, trying to be mock scandalous. The girls did a million poses together, just having the time of their lives.

Then Alice made Peyton and I go back to being serious again. She made me get some of just myself. She said that if I wanted she could send them in to a wedding magazine to have my picture in it. I told her that would not be necessary, and that it would be okay staying in my own personal photo album.

Then Peyton was posing by herself. She sat down by the river and let her dress wrap around her and fan out across the ground. Alice took the picture and it looked amazing with my perfect beautiful angel that complimented the scenic view background.

After she took who knows how many photographs of just Peyton, she had us come together and hold hands so she could get a picture of just the rings.

Once Alice finally decided that she was all pictured out, everyone started talking amongst themselves. We were all happy and excited and had been bouncing around for quite some time when I noticed Bella and Edward whispering to each other. Then Bella jumped up and ran over to Emmett, pulling him down to her level to tell him something.

He grinned wickedly, nodding his head enthusiastically. Then it seemed a second later Alice was out and in to a trance like state, obviously having one of those visions of hers.

After a couple of seconds, Alice came back with her face looking appalled. She turned to glare at Edward and Bella, in particularly Bella.

"How could you?!" she asked in disbelief. I looked around at everyone to see if I was possibly the only one that was out of the loop. I guess most everyone else was too as they had looks of confusion on their faces.

Bella and Edward jumped up and stood right before Peyton and me. They were grinning ear to ear as they announced, "We're getting married!"

Nobody but Alice and Emmett seemed to comprehend what was going on. And then it hit me.

The vision, Alice freaking out, Bella and Edward whispering to each other, Bella talking to Emmett and Emmett nodding with joy. It all made sense now.

"Emmett, up here, please," Edward called down to our big brother.

Emmett bounded his way over to us and gently pushed Carlisle, Peyton and I out of the way. That was when he started it all.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…" he drifted off into another ceremony. I pulled Peyton down with me onto the nearest chair as I started to laugh. I couldn't believe they were actually doing this! I dared a glance over at Alice. She was furious. She had so wanted to plan this wedding, she couldn't believe that Bella and Edward would undermine her.

Bella and Edward were grinning at each other wildly. I couldn't believe they were having Emmett of all people doing this. Although, Bella never did like big productions…

I must not have been paying attention, because the next thing I knew, Edward and Bella were kissing, and were now officially married. I started clapping, cheering and whistling at them as did most everyone else in the family. Even Alice clapped and had a small smile on her face, even if it was half-heartedly.

I looked down at Peyton again and kissed her. I couldn't actually believe we were married now. And Edward and Bella too. This day was incredible to say the least.

I glanced down at the watch on my wrist. It was now six o'clock. That meant our rooms would be ready in an hour out in Seattle, which also meant that we could leave now and not have to come back for a few days, maybe weeks even… it could just be one long honeymoon…

I got up and picked Peyton up with me. I turned to my family and began to speak. "Well, I'm sorry to have to leave you all so quickly, but we really must be going. Our room will be ready within the hour, don't want to be late!" I said as I started to walk off with Peyton in my arms. I started to run off before they all could try and convince me to stay for a little while, and so I wouldn't have to hear their jibes at me. I had thought I'd gotten far enough, but then out in the distance I heard Emmett's booming voice call, "Anxious isn't he? He'll probably screw it up the first time."

I glanced down at Peyton, and I knew I'd be blushing if I could. She brought her head up and kissed me. "Who cares what they think? They're just jealous we have time to do this and we won't end up having to stop halfway through."

I laughed at that and hugged her to me. "I love you, you know that right?"

She grinned up at me. "I had an inkling of an idea of that, yes."

I kissed her forehead sweetly and picked up my pace faster to get to the house. I wanted to pull my viper and get it into gear quickly so we could get to our destination quicker.

I rushed us both into the garage and gently placed Peyton into the passenger's seat before quickly getting to my side and starting up my baby.

I pulled out sharply from the garage and sped off down our lane to the nearest highway. I hit 100 within seconds and only continued to increase speed, wanting to get to our hotel faster. I was far too impatient for my own good right about now.

Peyton was grinning at me when she saw the speed and gently scooted herself closer to me and placed her head on my shoulder. I kissed her head sweetly and continued to go faster. I looked down at her and saw she had closed her eyes. I smiled to myself as I turned to watch the road.

This night was easily going to be better than the day, though magnificent it was, I could already feel it. I pushed my car to go faster. We were flying faster than 200 mph now. At this rate, we'd be there within about a half hour or so.

I groaned inwardly. Even that short amount of time seemed far too long for me to wait. My two days were finally up, and now that I was married to her, I could have Peyton.

I felt Peyton reach her lips up to touch my neck. I shivered involuntarily and my hands shook a little on the wheel. She continued to kiss me, my chest, my neck, my face, anywhere that she could reach. I could feel her smile against my skin as she did so, knowing the effect that she had on me.

I kept on driving and looking forward. I knew if I even looked down into her eyes or at her at all just once, I would be a goner. I was already having troubles driving as it was, and I knew if I looked, we'd never get to that hotel.

After what seemed like forever she finally stopped and closed her eyes again as she rested her head on my shoulder. Loads of good that did me. I was already aching, and nothing was going to stop that now. I gave a huff and put the pedal to the metal and floored it. I had to get there really soon.

A/N: Yay, they're married. How exciting huh? Yeah, so maybe I went a little overboard, but you know what? I was bored, and decided that I could make this fun.
