I don't own Twilight. SM does.
50.
Bella
After toasting the happy couple, we sat back down and Jasper stood up. Edward immediately took my hand again and I couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you so much for joining us on our very special day. My wife and I..." everyone cheered and clapped. "...are delighted to have you here."
Jasper went on to say that he loved Alice from the moment they met, and that he never thought a humble professor like him would end up with a 'shining star' like her. He promised to love her always, and their children in the future and asserted that no man could ever love any woman as much as he loved her.
"...One day I will give you the world, my darling. Or at the very least, that trip to America, where we've always wanted to go. Until then, you have my heart and my eternal devotion."
It brought tears to my eyes. Will I ever be loved that much? Would I ever let Edward love me that much?
Alice stood up and onto her tiptoes, and then kissed him tenderly. Jasper brought his arms around her and lifted her up for a moment before putting her down, dabbing her eyes with his thumb and then picking up his glass.
"Ladies and gentleman, please raise a toast to my beautiful bride, Alice."
Everyone got to their feet and raised their glasses.
"To Alice!"
As everyone applauded, I felt Edward's large palm at the small of my back and his warm breath in my ear.
"Would you run a mile if I told you that I would love you like that one day, if you let me?"
Is he a mind-reader or something?
