There were many people in the kitchen that I had no idea who they were. I recognized some of them as the Cullen's relatives, due to their pale skin and golden hair, but that was just an assumption. I watched Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie mingling with the others, introducing eachother. The back door opened a bit as Alice poked her head in.

"Two minutes." Her voice echoed through the kitchen. I bit my lip. I could feel Charlie's prescence behind me and I spun around to look at him.

"Are you ready?" He asked me.

"I think so." I lied. My legs were trembling beneath my skirt. He must have noticed, because he looked at my curiously.

"Are you sure?"

"No." I answered almost immediately.

"Everything's going to be fine. There nothing to worry about." He had one large hand rested on my shoulder and he leaned down a bit to give me a kiss on my cheek. "Trust me, I've been here before."

"Thanks, Dad." I tried to make myself smile, but it hadn't worked as well as I had planned. I turned around, noticing Rosalie standing in front of the closed door, ready to walk down the isle with her basket of flowers. I walked over to her slowly, trying not to step on the dress.

"Thank you, so much, for doing this, Rosalie." I smiled, for real this time.

"Don't mention it. I'm glad to do it. Anything for my brother and sister." She winked at me. Maybe she didn't hate me after all. Outside I could hear the voices of tons more people than there was inside, and I could hear the organ player practicing his pieces. Then the music stopped.

"Are we starting?" I asked her.

"I think so. Good luck, Bella." She shot me a crooked smile, similar to Edward's, but not nearly as mesmerizing. I sat down at an empty chair at the end of the kitchen table, trying to force my legs to stop shaking. I pressed my palms against the skirt. Outside, I heard the start of a song by the organ player, and Rosalie had her hand on the doorknob. Within seconds, she had opened it gracefully and she was gliding out the door. I heard the snapping of cameras for the second the door was open. Next, it was my turn. Charlie had approached me and held out his hand to help me up. I took it immediately and he heaved me out of the chair, almost knocking me over in the process.

"This is it." He wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Yeah.." My voice was flat. I took deep breaths, focusing on the sound of each inhale and exhale. The music outside slowed and I heard the beginning of a new song, a familiar one. My hands were shaking now, and I balled them into fists. Charlie linked my arm with his and flashed me a smile as he had his hand on the doorknob. I squeezed my eyes shut, taking my last deep breath. Charlie turned the knob and slowly opened the door, the audience being slowly revealed, one section at a time. Soon enough, the door was completely open and I was being stared at by hundreds of people. I swallowed deeply. I was so preoccupied by the other people, I nearly forgot about the most important person in the sea of bodies. At the end of the long stretched isle, I saw him. A god, in human form.

Edward.

I attempted to focus just on him, as I took the first step down the porch steps. He was my goal. Another step. Slowly but surely, I'd make my way to him. No matter how long it took. Charlie was leading me down the white clothed isle, sprinkled with Rosalie's flower petals. Luckily I hadn't tripped yet. Edward appeared closer and closer but each step seemed like it was taking longer and longer. My eyes wandered around the rows of people and sitting in the first row, beside Carlisle, was Renee. She had a crumpled tissue in her hand, blotting it on her face. I flashed her the biggest smile I could manage. She smiled back at me, her eyes red and blotchy. I transferred my eyes to Edward's, which were staring right into me, burning a hole into my face. The world around me was moving in slow motion. Before I could stop it, I was at the end. Charlie was giving me a kiss and he had walked off, the weight supporting me was now gone and I felt like I was going to float off. I snapped out of it and walked the rest of the way, in front of Edward. He had my favorite smile stuck to his face. The music continued. Before the music ended, he slowly leaned over, his face close to mine.

"You look absolutely beautiful." His cool, icy breath swirled around my face, calming me.

"Thank you." I whispered, smirking. The music drifted to a stop. Edward took my hands in his.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," The preist's voice boomed through the tall trees surrounding us. "We are gathered here today, in the sight of God, and in the face of family and friends, to join together Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen, in holy matrimony; which is an Honorable Estate, instituted of God, since the first man and the first woman walked on the earth." He continued slowly.

"Therefor, it is not to be entered into unadvisedly, or lightly, but reverently and soberly." Edward squeezed my hands lightly. "Into this Holy Estate, these two persons present, come now to be joined. If anyone can show why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace." He squeezed my hands tighter and we looked into the audience. Nothing.

"This is the day you have chosen to become husband and wife. We are here, not only to witness your commitment to eachother, but also to wish you every happiness in your future life together." I heard sniffling coming from the front row, and looked over to my mother, who continued blotting her eyes with her tissue. I heard Charlie clear his throat on the opposite side of the isle. I looked back at Edward and I could feel my eyes get damp. I look up to the tree tops to keep the tears in. I pursed my lips and looked back down.

"Within its framework and commitment and loyalty, marriage enables the establishment of a home, where through trust, --- patience and respect, the love and affection, which you have for each other may develop into a deep and lasting relationship. We, who are witnessing you marriage, hope that despite the stresses inevitable in any life," Edward stiffled a laugh. "your love, respect for each other, and your trust and understanding of each other will increase your contentment, and heighten your joy in living." The priest turned to face Edward, as Edward kept his eyes on mine.

"Do you, Edward, take Isabella for your lawful wedded wife, to live together after god's ordinance, in the Holy Estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her, from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her, for as long as you both shall live?"

Edward answered immediately in his breathtaking song of a voice and smiled. "I do." I smiled back at him. The priest began to address me.

"And do you, Isabella, take Edward for your lawful wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance, in the Holy Estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish him, from this day forward, forsaking others, keeping only unto him, for as long as you both shall live?"

I smiled full out at Edward. "I do."

"Please repeat after me." The priest had turned back towards Edward. "I, Edward."

"I, Edward."

"Take thee, Isabella."

"Take thee, Isabella." The way he said 'Isabella' was like a song coming off his cool lips.

"To be my wedded wife."

"To be my wedded wife."

"To have and to hold, from this day forward."

"To have and to hold, from this day forward."

"For better or for worse,"

"For better or for worse,"

"For richer or for poorer,"

"For richer or for poorer,"

"In sickness and in health,"

"In sickness and in health,"

"To love, honor, and cherish,"

"To love, honor, and cherish,"

"'Till death do us part,"

"'Tilll death do us part,"

"According to God's holy ordinance."

"According to God's holy ordinance." The words would flow perfectly through his lips, making no mistakes. He pulled up my favorite crooked smile as the priest turned to me.

"Please repeat after me." I nodded my head and cleared my throat. "I, Isabella."

"I-I, Isabella." I began to stutter. Edward rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb and nodded at me.

"Take thee, Edward."

"Take thee, Edward." Keeping my eyes on Edward would calm my nerves.

"To be my wedded husband."

"To be my wedded husband."

"To have and to hold, from this day forward."

"To have and to hold, from this day forward."

"For better or for worse,"

"For better or for worse,"

"For richer or for poorer,"

"For richer or for poorer,"

"In sickness and in health,"

"In sickness and in health,"

"To love, honor, and cherish,"

"To love, honor, and cherish,"

"'Till death do us part,"

"'Tilll death do us part,"

"According to God's holy ordinance."

"According to God's holy ordinance." I had made it through the worst, as long as Edward was there to keep my feet on the ground. The priest reached over towards Emmett, who was standing on Edward's side next to the arch, and took a small, white box from him and lifting it in front of us, holding in in the palm of his hand. Edward's face was still.

"Lord, bless this ring, that he who gives it, and she who wears it, may abide in your peace, and continue in your favor, until life's end, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen." He removed a ring from the box and handed it to Edward, his delicate fingers holding either side of it. "Repeat after me." Edward began to slide the ring ony my finger.

"With this ring – I thee wed."

"With this ring – I thee wed." The ring was slid halfway up my finger.

"Wear it as a symbol, of our love – and commitment."

"Wear it as a symbol, of our love – and commitment." He slid the ring the rest of the way and I was speechless when he removed his hand from mine. On my left hand rested a silver band with one large diamond in the center, and four smaller ones indented into the band on each side of the larger one. It was more beautiful than any ring I've ever seen. I looked back up to Edward's face, this time I had noticeable tears flooding my eyes. He brushed under my eye with a cool finger. The priest received Edward's ring from Alice. He repeated the prayer and handed the ring to me, as it glimmered, even though the sun hadn't broke through the clouds. For us, this was a good thing.

"Please repeat after me." The priest directed me. I placed the ring at the end of Edward's left hand finger. "With this ring – I thee wed."

"With this ring – I thee wed."

"Wear it as a symbol, of our love – and commitment."

"Wear it as a symbol, of our love – and commitment." I had finished placing the ring on his finger as I dropped my hands away. Edward gazed at the ring, his eyes peaceful pools of gold. He smiled up at me and I smiled back.

"We pray for all married persons, that they may continue to give, be able to forgive, and experience more, and more of the joy of the Lord, with each passing day. And especially for Isabella and Edward, now beginning their married life together, that they may have divine assistance, the constant support of family and friends, and a long life, with good health. May your fullest blessing come upon Isabella, and her husband Edward, forward, for ever, and ever, Amen." Edward took my hands again.

"I now pronounce you, husband and wife." I did it, despite the thought that I wouldn't be able to, I did it. "You may now kiss the bride." Our eyes were locked on eachother every second, as he reached down, not having to much, as I closed my eyes. Our icy lips touched gently, and I could almost feel some warmth left on them. This kiss felt different than any other we've shared before. It had a different meaning. The meaning of eternity. He pulled away the slightest bit.

"I love you, Isabella Cullen." His lips brushed lightly against mine with every word.

"I love you too Edward."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Cullen." Edward and I pulled away from eachother and looked into the audience, hundreds of people were applauding, for us. My mom and Charlie were full out crying and Esme and Carlisle looked as though they were about to. I smiled at everyone, scanning my eyes over the audience. I was looking for someone. Someone I wasn't sure I wanted to see or not.

Jake.

I didn't see anyone even resembling him, and knew then that he hadn't come. I wasn't going to let that ruin anything. It was my wedding day and I wanted to spend it thinking about the man I love, no one else. Edward took one of my hands and led me back down the isle, as I kept my eyes on his face the entire time. He looked even more handsome today than usual. We reached the porch steps and Edward had swiftly picked me up in his arms. He opened the door and closed it quickly behind him before setting me down on my feet. We stared at each other for a moment.

"Edward.." I didn't take my eyes off him.

"Yes?" He pulled his eyebrows together.

"We're married.." I grinned full out.

"We are." He smilled back, looking so handsome, it was unbareable. I stood on my toes, not needing to much, and pressed my lips to his, more vigourously than before. I wrapped my hands around his neck and he placed his hands on the small of my back. Disturbing our perfect moment, the back door opened. I quickly pulled away from Edward and turned around to face who ever stood in the doorway.

"Mom!" My tone almost horrified. I wiped my mouth with my hand.

"Bella!" She rushed over to me and wrapped her arms around my shoulders in a suffocating hug. "Oh, sweetheart, you look so beautiful! You've changed so much." She had one hand on each of my arms and I was pulled away from her as she examined me. She pulled me to her side and put her arm around my shoulders.

"Edward, I wouldn't choose anyone else for my daughter but you. Congratulations to the both of you." She smiled down at me and thento Edward. She let go of me and approached Edward, wrapping him in a hug. He hugged back, gently.

"Oh, wow! I guess this means I might be a Grandmother sooner than I thought!" She had her hands on either side of her face.

"Mom!" I looked at her wide-eyed and then towards Edwards, who was laughing.

"You won't have to worry about that anytime soon, Renee." Edward comforted her, tapping her on the shoulder.

"Good to hear." She smirked in my direction. The door opened and other guests poured in, including the rest of the Cullens and there relatives.

"You did it, Bella!" Alice was shaking me and nearly shouting in my face.

"I know. It was hard, but I did it." I tried to keep myself balaced when she let go of me. Edward was at my side with his arm wrapped around my waist. One by one, each of the Cullen siblings approached to congratluate us, and then were off talking to other guests. I haven't thanked so many people in my entire life.

Minutes later, Carlisle and Esme were standing in front of us.

"Well, Bella. You're officially a Cullen. How does it feel?" Carlisle asked.

"It feels right." I smiled up towards Edward.

"I knew it would." He dragged his hand up my side and back down to my hip. Carlisle and Esme each gave me a family hug and left Edward and I to our peace, for once. I had just started to notice the throbbing pain in my feet from standing in the heels for too long. I bent down to adjust them, wincing when I did. Edward must have noticed, because he pulled out a chair from the kitchen table and sat down, tapping his lap. An irresisitable invite. I sat on his lap and took the shoes off as soon as I could, letting them drop on the floor. I burried my head in Edward's chest. This lifestyle was going to be easy to used to. Moving in with the Cullen's would be the first step.
