I was dead tired on the drive back from the airport. Edward drove in silence, occasionally giving me a glance and a smile. He looked like he was thinking about something, but between already being tired, traveling, and then of course, just flying I was too worn out to pry.

"What's your favorite pie?" Edward broke the silence,

"What?" I chuckled, pulling my eyes back open.

"20 questions remember? So what's your favorite pie?" He grinned.

"Oh…ummm…I guess lemon. But only my gran's and sometimes my mom's." I answered, still chuckling from his randomness. "How about yours?" I asked, resting my eyes again.

"Apple, definitely apple." He smiled. "Your turn."

"Hmmm…ok." I sighed, thinking. "Where's your favorite place in the world?"

"Wow. Let me think." He raked a hand though his hair. "Maybe Italy, because the time I spent here was the easiest. It just made your face so much clearer." He smiled, thinking back. "No, never mind, I've got it. There's this little island off of Virginia, it's called Chincoteague Island. I mean it's Virginia so it's not exotic or anything like that, it's just peaceful. Still small, the beaches are small, nothing is built up. There's only a few restaurants on the island barely any stores, only one bar. There are wild ponies all over the place, they walk on the beach. It's beautiful." He explained.

"It sounds nice. We should go there sometime." I suggested, smiling.

"Definitely" He agreed. "Ok, my turn." His grin was evil, I cringed wondering what he had come up with. "So, what'd you ever see in Axl Rose?" He snickered.

"Oh GOD." I rolled my eyes, fighting a smile. "His name was FELIX, and he was a nice enough guy. I didn't want a commitment really, so he worked for that as well because we had absolutely nothing to talk about. Then there was the guitar, and the tattoos. Mmm." I trailed off for a minute.

"Shut up!" He glared at me! "I guess that's a fantasy of yours, the rock star with all the tattoos?"

"Eh, it used to be." I shrugged. "I'm more into the scruffy, heartbreaking artist type now." I grinned.

"You better be!" He laughed. "And sorry, but Axl was kinda gross."

"Yeah well you're kinda gross Mr. I lost count of how many people I've had sex with." I glared.

"I'm never living that one down am I?" He groaned to himself. "Your turn!"

"Do you really like the meadow?" I asked, wanting him to be honest.

"I love it." He smiled. "I think it's going to be perfect." He laced his fingers in mine.

"Good!" I beamed. "Your turn."

"Ok," He gave me a quick glance. "Do you want to have lunch with my sister tomorrow?" He rushed out.

"What?!" I chuckled, shocked. "Oh, and it's cute how you tried to just throw it in there. Like I wouldn't notice what you were asking." I shook my head.

"Well she called me last night, she heard about the engagement of course. She's been in London, but she's home now and she'd like to have lunch with you." He explained.

"UGH!" I grumbled. "I don't think I have the energy for another battle with yet another woman in your family."

"It's not going to be like that." He promised. "She seemed really happy for me, and she feels bad about what happened when I left. She's grown up a lot." He gave me his best puppy dog look.

"You're cheating!" I accused at his protruding lip, and he pulled the pout further.

"Is it working?" A grin threatened on the edge of his lips.

"Fine!" I glared, "but if she's nasty to me, we're going to Vegas to get married." Damn him and his sexy pouts!

"Deal!" He grinned pulling into our parking garage.

We shuffled our way inside, and after a quick shower I collapsed into bed lost in much needed sleep.


I was sitting at the usual café, nervously playing with the table cloth, and on my third cup of coffee she showed up.

"Bella!" She stopped beside the table smiling at me.

She looked almost exactly the same as I had remembered. Long beautiful blonde hair, a body any woman would sell her soul for, high end clothes. The only difference was this time she wasn't looking at me as though I had the plague.

"Oh, uh. Hi Rosalie. How are you?" I forced a smile, but braced myself for her wrath.

"I'm great!" She her smile got even bigger as she scooped me up in a hug. "Look at you!" She pulled me back giving me an approving once over. "Congratulations by the way!! I couldn't believe it when Edward told me! I'm so happy for you guys!" She gushed, hugging me again.

"Oh…umm, yeah thanks?" I wiggled away from her grip and sat down, confused.

"I'm sorry." Her face fell. "I know the last time we met, I must have come across as a horrible vapid bitch." She sighed.

"Well, no…I mean…it's ok." I shrugged, not wanting to just out and say she was horrible and I loathed everything about her.

"It's ok," she waved her hand. "You're not going to offend me, I know I was horrible. I'm so sorry Bella. I'm just happy you and Edward found your way back to each other. He was a mess after that weekend, you should have seen him, it was awful." She looked ashamed. "I honestly didn't notice much then, I mean Tanya and I were best friends, and I wanted them to be together. Not because she made my brother happy, because she didn't, but because I was selfish." She looked at me, obviously hoping I could forgive her.

"You and Tanya were friends?" I asked, wondering what could have happened.

"Yeah, we haven't spoken in nearly two years." She rolled her eyes. "I finally got to feel first hand how you and Edward must have felt that weekend at our parent's. I'm so sorry." She apologized again.

I just sat there, my mouth hanging slightly open, in complete and total shock at the woman sitting across from me. She was nothing like the nasty hateful girl I had met in Vermont four years ago. Finally, I noticed her looking at me, seeming like she expected me to respond.

"I'm sorry." I shook my head. "You just caught me a bit off guard I guess. This just isn't what I was expecting." I chuckled.

"I'm sure it's not." She snorted. "Let me explain," she smiled. "I moved to London about a year after that weekend at my parent's. I've always wanted to go to school abroad and finally got to do it. Not long after I was there, some girlfriends and I took a weekend trip to Italy. That's where I met him." Her whole face blushed. "His name is Demitri, he's amazing. He's sweet, funny, charming, smart and oh God, so hot." She giggled. "So, I met him about the same time that Edward broke up with Tanya. She really was heartbroken, not for any of the right reasons, but still. She came to visit about a month later. Demitri and I were pretty much joined at the hip immediately after meeting, he'd either come to London on the weekends or I'd go to Italy. The weekend Tanya go there was my weekend to travel to him, so I of course took her along, thinking maybe she could distract herself with one of his friends. She hated him immediately. I was already in love with him and it didn't even occur to me that his family didn't have the sort of lifestyle that mine had. It didn't matter to me, nothing mattered but him. Tanya of course couldn't have thought more differently. She was so rude, and just all around nasty to him. It really hurt his feeling and it pissed me off." Her eyes glared at the memory. "I asked her to leave after the first day there. Edward called me about a week later to tell me that he would be coming to London and that's when it occurred to me. I could hear in his voice how broken he still was, and for the first time, it all made sense. The way we had treated you, and I felt horrible. I knew how much Tanya had hurt Demitri so I knew how you must have felt. And then I thought about the choices my mother had given Edward, and just couldn't imagine her doing the same with me and Dem. God, I'm so sorry Bella." She reached for my hand across the table.

"It's ok." I smiled, seeing she actually was different now. "We found our way back, so I guess that's all that matters."

"I know!" She squealed, reminding me so much of Alice. "I'm so excited for you two!! Have you set a date yet???"

"April 13th." I blushed a little, feeling silly at finally being excited over the wedding. "We're getting married outside of Boston, we just got home last night from going to look over the place and doing some planning."

"I know, Edward was telling me about the meadow, he says it's perfect." She smiled. "You should hear the way he talks about you. Oh and the way he gushes on about the wedding, I swear he's like a little kid on Christmas. It's so nice to have my brother back, to hear him sounding happy."

"How long are you in town?" I asked. "Will you be here for the wedding?" I couldn't believe I was actually hoping she'd say yes.

"Just for the holidays unfortunately, I fly back to London on January 2nd, but don't worry I'll definitely be back for the wedding, if I'm invited of course." She chuckled.

"Of course you're invited!" I laughed.

"Great!" She chirped. "I'll bring Demitri with me, I've wanted him to meet my family for so long, it will be perfect!" The way she was bouncing in her seat I knew she was going to fit perfectly into my life, another Alice.

"So, does Esme know you're here?" I cringed at her name.

"Yes," Rosalie sighed. "She's not thrilled about it. I don't know why she's still holding onto this, after things with her and dad, I thought she would be the first to understand. But it doesn't matter." She smiled. "Edward is my brother and soon you'll be my sister!"

The rest of our lunch was light, we ate and talked. The conversation revolved mostly around the wedding. She waited until I had completely warmed up before she assaulted me with the full arsenal of wedding magazines. We oohhed and aahhhed over dresses and decorations. She told me more about Demitri, and I couldn't help but smile seeing how in love she was. She opened up telling me how much being away from him just for this short time broke her heart, I understood exactly what she meant. I told her how Edward and I had gotten back together, and we laughed over his attempting to be an asshole at first, and then about how Felix had walked in on us kissing. We both swooned when I told her about his proposal. I would have never thought it possible, but I could easily see me thinking of Rosalie as a sister, and I knew she would get along beautifully with my best friends. She and Alice would shop together, and she and Leah were both the sweetest people you could ever meet or the biggest bitch depending on which side you deserved to see.


"How was it?!" Edward jumped off the couch the second I walked through the door.

"Horrible." I huffed, trying hard not to smile.

"What? Tell me what she said!" He demanded.

"I'm joking dork." my smile broke through. "It was actually really nice. I can't believe how different she is. She was really sweet to me." I pulled him back to sit on the couch with me.

"I told you!" He gloated.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." I chuckled, dragging my fingers through his hair. "Have I told you how much I adore you?" I sighed, my heart swelling with just touching him.

"Hmm, I believe you may have mentioned it, but it's always nice to hear." He tilted his head back to grin at me.

"Well," I placed an upside down kiss on his lips. "You are the most wonderful man, and I am still amazed every single day that you picked me. I love you." I smiled, kissing him again.

"Oh yeah?" He gave me my favorite crooked smile. "Well, I happen to think you are the most beautiful, and amazing woman in the world. And I didn't pick you." I pouted a little as he stood up, picking me up from the couch. "It was never a choice. From the first time I saw you, it was just you. No choosing, no picking, just you." He padded through the apartment, carrying me to the bedroom, placing soft kisses all across my face. "Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to show you exactly how much I love you." He grinned, placing me on the bed and pulling off his shirt.

"Not at all." I giggled, taking in his perfect body, and pulling him into bed with me.


The next month and a half passed by in a crazy blur. We had so much going on with the holidays, planning for the wedding. Edward started at the law firm and spent usually three days of the week in the office. I was drowning in work, I wasn't complaining, but was getting a bit stressed from it.

Christmas was nice. We traveled to Charlie's house for the traditional food, family, and friends on Christmas eve. It was nice to have everyone together. Leah and Emmett came since they were staying with her family for the holidays, Jasper and Alice because I begged her, even Carlisle and Rosalie showed up, they made up some excuse about Esme not feeling well, but we all knew why she wasn't there. Alice and Leah were both skeptical of Rose at first, they both knew very well how she had treated me, but it didn't take long before they loved her just as much as I had grown to. She and Alice were planning after Christmas shopping, and Leah quickly invited her into the wedding details. I can't explain what it felt like to see everyone I loved, all of my family tucked into Charlie's small house.

January was fairly uneventful, just work and getting ready for Leah's big day.


It seemed surreal to me that it was February 1st already, only two weeks from Leah and Emmett's wedding. Alice and Jasper had both flown into town for last minute details, I had to practically twist her arm for them to not pay for a hotel, but stay in our spare room instead.

"We have so much to do." Alice sighed, plopping down at the kitchen table as I poured us both a cup of coffee.

"It's not too bad, and I took the next two weeks off so we can get everything done. What all is left?" I sat down, sliding her mug across the table.

"Thanks." She smiled and took a sip. "Well, we need to get everyone together just to make sure everyone is on the same page. Edward, Jasper and Emmett both have their final fitting tomorrow. Leah has her dress fitting Wednesday, and then you and I both have ours next Monday. The flowers are ordered, they'll be there the morning of. The caterers are all set, you'll pick up the cake the night before. It's really just the last minute things, but those are the most stressful." Alice scanned her planner, twirling her ring. Jasper had proposed on New Year's eve. That alone had calmed the wedding Nazi just a bit.

"Well, Leah and Emmett should be here soon, and Edward and Jasper should be back from the gym any minute, we could do the meeting then." I suggested.

"Great!" she smiled.

Right on cue, the door swung open and Jasper came flying through as Edward pushed him.

"Sorry Bella," Jasper said through hysterical laughter. "You might have some competition!" He collapsed in the chair, almost falling over still laughing.

"Shut up fucker!" Edward punched his arm.

"What is going on?" I chuckled, Jasper's laugher contagious.

"Nothing!" Edward glared.

"Oh, that wasn't nothing, that was the best thing I've ever seen!" Jasper busted into a whole new round of laughter! "Edward found himself a girlfriend Bells." He snickered.

"A girlfriend huh?" I giggled. "Do tell."

"She was like 80." Edward shivered.

"Yeah but that didn't stop her from telling you what she'd do if she were your fiancé." Jasper cackled.

"What?!" My eyes popped.

"Apparently there are a lot of advantages to having dentures, advantages she very eagerly offered to Eddie!" Jasper doubled over again. "And while her hand was glued to his ass no less!"

"What?!" Alice gasped.

"It was horrible baby." Edward pouted. "You should have seen her, and the things she said," He cringed. "You after a night of crown royal had nothing on this woman."

"Oh wow." I laughed, crossing the kitchen to kiss him. "Perhaps you need to find a new gym."

"Definitely." He grinned, before deepening my kiss, making me forget anyone else was in the room.

"GROSS!" Emmett boomed into the dining room.

"Sorry!" Leah apologized, pinching the back of his arm.

"OUCH!" Emmett swatted her hand away

"No need to knock Em." I laughed, turning around, keeping Edward's arms wrapped around me.

"Hey, the door was open!" He shrugged sitting down. "So what's up?"

"Emergency wedding meeting!" Alice squealed, and all the boys groaned.

"Everything is pretty much done right?" Leah asked.

"Mostly, just the last minute stuff." I answered.

"What about the bachelor party!" Emmett grinned, and suddenly all of the guys were very interested.

"NO STRIPPERS!" Leah, Alice, and I all yelled in unison.

"WHAT?!" Emmett gaped. "Why the hell not?!"

"Because I assume you actually want to get married." Leah snapped.

"Come on girls. We're doing all of our parties together, one stripper for all of us. It's a tradition for these things." Jasper whined.

"I don't think so." Alice crossed her arms.

"I don't see the problem." Edward shrugged behind me.

"The problem is, you and Emmett already cashed in your watch a naked ho for free card while we were in Vermont." I glared.

"Exactly!" Leah agreed.

"Oh no! That doesn't count!" Emmett pouted. "We were thinking about you two the whole time, we couldn't even enjoy it!"

"You better have been thinking about us!" Leah and I both huffed.

"You girls can have a stripper too!" Jasper offered.

"We don't want a damn stripper Jasper." Alice scolded. "Why would we want to look at another man?! And why would you want to look at other women?!"

"Mmmhmmm." I agreed.

We all bickered back and forth on the stripper for the next two weeks. The boys just didn't get it, they didn't see how it could be disrespectful.

The night of our parties had finally come, and we were all settled into our hotel in downtown Boston, the night before Leah's wedding. Alice dressed all three of us, convinced that if we looked jaw dropping, the guys would see exactly why they didn't need to look at any other women. We all thought it would work. We were wrong.

"It's our bachelor party and we want a stripper!" Emmett crossed his arms determine, Edward and Jasper both agreed.

"This is ridiculous!" Leah yelled. "We're just going to Jake's bar! Sue, my mom, my grandma, Renee, Alice's mom are all going to be there! Our party is obviously going to be G rated, yours needs to be too!"

"Your party is G rated because you planned it that way. We didn't tell you that you had to." Edward didn't budge even with my best pout.

"You're all assholes!" Alice burst into tears, causing Leah and I to do the same as we ran out of the room like five year olds.

The three of us fumbled through the hotel, weeping uncontrollably, finally making it to our cab waiting on the curb. Alice sniffled out Jake's bar, and with one glance from the cabbie looking at us like we were insane, he pulled away from the curb.

We hadn't been driving even a mile before all of our tears turned into bursts of laughter. We couldn't believe ourselves, or the drama queen fit we had just thrown. We had all been so stressed out over the weddings and all the planning we just lost it. After we had cried out all of the stress, our heads were a bit clearer, we all agreed that the boys were indeed assholes for going ahead with the stripper when we asked them not to, but honestly a stripper for their party wasn't as horrible as we made it seem.

"There's my girl!" Jake's smile was huge when he wrapped me in a hug, picking me up off the ground. "The party is all set up in the back, just about everyone is there." He motioned past the dance floor.

"Thanks Jake." I gave him one more squeeze before following Leah and Alice.

"BELLA! ALICE! LEAH!" Sue sang, wrapping us all in a hug!!

Next in line was Leah's mom who squeezed us all and strapped silly party hats on our heads that said "I'm the bride."

We continued down through the hug line, being passed from one embrace and then on to the next. The last person was Renee, she cried over Leah and me, telling us how she couldn't believe how grown up we were.

The party wasn't huge, only about twenty women, just our closest friends and family but we were having a great time. Laughing, dancing, drinking, and telling stories. Everyone erupted with laughter when we told them about our little melt down back at the hotel, and that spurred on a whole list of bridezilla stories.

We were all doubled over at Renee telling us how she had burned all of Charlie's clothes two days before the wedding because of some comment he had made, and then, Jake's voice interrupted.

"Bells, Leah, Alice, I need you girls up here for a minute!" Jake chuckled, calling us to sit in the three chairs placed in the middle of the dance floor.

"Oh god, what's this?!" Leah grinned.

"God only knows." Alice squealed, and we all started towards our seats.

"Ok girls, take a seat, we've got a surprise for you." Jake's smile was evil.

The stage lights went off and everything was completely black, but we could make out three more people shuffling onto the stage.

"Hey girls!" Emmett beamed from the stage when the lights cut back on.

"What the hell?" Me, Leah, and Alice all muttered looking around to find Charlie, Carlisle, and the boy's whole party now joined with ours. Edward and Jasper both stood grinning like idiots on Emmett's sides. All of them dressed in tuxes.

"So we were assholes tonight." Edward sighed. "These beautiful women have agreed to marry us and we had the nerve to demand strippers for our bachelor party."

"And all they had planned, was this sweet innocent get together." Jasper's grin was wicked. "Well girls, your party isn't going to be so G rated anymore!"

All three of us gasped when the music started, "I need you tonight" By INXS.

"They wouldn't!" I breathed, hearing the gasps behind us as our boy's hips thrust with the music and their jackets twirled above their heads.

The cat calls came from behind us, women not even with our party going crazy as Edward, Jasper, and Emmett all, in unison, jumped off the stage, sliding on their knees closer to us.

"Apparently they would." Alice, reached over to grasp my arm as they all stood, slowing unbuttoning their shirts for us.

"I never appreciated Emmett's love for early 90's music until right now." Leah groaned and we all giggled, watching the boys stalk closer.

Edward was insanely sexy as he approached. His white button down shirt was completely open and fanned past his hips as he walked, showing his perfectly cut chest and abs.

"What I wouldn't give for the one with the fuck me hair!" I heard I girl I didn't know yell, ogling all three men.

"The fuck me hair is mine!" I glared, giggling! Edward just winked.

Alice, Leah, and I all reached for each other as the boys stopped in front of us, their heads all turning to the side at the same time, and thrust towards us as they leaned back, letting their shirts slide off.

"Sweet mother…" Leah muttered.

"Good Lord…" Alice fumbled.

"Holy shit!" I groaned.

"TAKE IT OFF!!!" Renee yelled, running up to tuck a dollar in Edward's pants. Causing the whole bar to explode with laughter.

But she had a point, I definitely wouldn't be opposed to him taking it off. I reached out for him, my hand burning, needing to touch him.

He raised and eyebrow and shook his finger at me. "No touching love." he mouthed before turning his yes down, taking off his belt and tossing it at me.

I bounced in my chair, looking over at Leah and Alice, both holding belts just like I was.

I bit my lip, and squirmed just a bit making Edward grin as he slowly toyed with the button on his pants.

Alice, Leah, and I all squeezed each other's arms in anticipation. The music was starting to end, but if there was a GOD in heaven, they wouldn't stop. I think all of us were past the point of giving a damn about anyone else in the room.

The boys had managed to get their pants undone and pulled low on their hips, just another inch to revealing exactly what I was aching for. We all squeezed tighter, but the music stopped, and the boys straightened out, laughing, causing the whole bar to groan, disappointed…well the female population of the club anyway.

Edward grunted, shocked as I threw myself onto him, wrapping my legs around his waist.

"I take it you liked the show?" He grinned into my lips.

"Mmmmhmmm." I mumbled, not willing to stop kissing him.

The kiss got urgent quickly, as I traced my tongue along his bottom lip, begging for him. He gave in, our tongues tangling. Edward moaned into my mouth, gripping my bottom tighter.

"So…." I snapped back to reality at the sound of Charlie's voice.

"Hey pop!" I blushed, sliding down off of Edward, embarrassed.

"Congratulations kiddo!" He laughed, hugging me.

"Thanks pop." I chuckled as he pulled away.

I was disappointed when I turned back around to find Edward had put his shirt back on. Leah and Alice looked like they understood, Emmett and Jasper had done the same.

"So are we forgiven?" Jasper asked holding onto Alice.

"Absolutely!" Alice, Leah, and I all rushed out.

"Fantastic!" Emmett grinned kissing Leah.

Maybe it wasn't traditional for the bachelor and bachelorette parties to be held together, but it was working for us. Everyone was having an amazing time, having Edward's arms wrapped around me all night just made me enjoy the party more. After the dance had ended all the guy's party made their way back to us, everyone was drinking, dancing, and having an amazing time. I couldn't keep my hand off of Edward, the image of him standing there, shirt unbuttoned, had more than a few ideas running through my head. I groaned when I felt him pull away.

"We're going to go get a drink babe, do you want anything?" He asked in my ear.

"Yeah, sure, another crown and cranberry." I wagged my eyebrows at him, his grin was huge.

"We'll be right back." He chuckled, and he, Emmett and Jasper pushed their way through the crowd.

"Look at us!! All getting married! I love you guys!" Alice pulled Leah and I both in for a hug. She was getting drunk, and emotional, but Leah and I were at about the same place so we didn't mind.

"Aww I love you guys too!" I cooed.

"You're my best friends!" Leah sang, and we all took another drink.


"Oh god!" I slammed my eyes closed as soon as the light hit me. "My head." I whined.

"Here baby, drink this." Edward chuckled, handing me a glass.

"What is it?" I gagged at the smell of it.

"Don't ask, just drink it." He chuckled again.

"UGH!" I grumbled, holding my nose as drinking it down.

"See, it wasn't so bad." He smiled, taking the glass and setting in on the table beside the bed.

"Easy for you to say." I frowned. "Why exactly are you so chipper this morning anyway?" I glared at him.

"Because I'm not the one who drank a whole bottle of Crown Royal last night." He laughed.

"Yeah well if I remember correctly, that bottle ended up working out pretty well for you too." I grinned, pulling him into the bed with me.

"It definitely did." He bit his lip before kissing his way down my neck, cupping my breast and running his thumb lightly across my nipple.

"Oh God Edward." I groaned, arching myself into him. "I want you."

"I want you too love, but we're going to have to wait." He sighed, resting his forehead on mine.

"Why?" I pouted.

"Because you're already a half hour late for meeting Alice and Leah." He grinned.

"WHAT!?" I jumped out of the bed in a panic. "Why the hell didn't you wake me up!" I glared at him, grabbing any clothes I could find and throwing them on.

"I tried." He threw his hands defensively in front of him.

"UGH!" I grumbled, forgetting my hangover, grabbing my purse, throwing my hair in a pony tale and running out the door.


"You're late!" Alice stood, hands on her hips in the hotel lobby.

"I know! I'm so sorry!" I rushed out.

"Don't feel bad Bells, I just got here five minutes ago." Leah hugged me.

"Ridiculous!" Alice huffed. "I drank just as much as you hookers last night and I was here on time! Come on before we miss our appointment!" She stomped towards the door.

Leah and I both burst into laughter, but followed quickly. Alice had barely said two words to either of us the whole drive to the day spa, but her mood quickly lightened once we were inside and being pampered.

We spent the remainder of the morning letting the spa employees massage away our hangovers, getting our nails, hair, and make up done. We laughed and talked the whole time. All of us giving details on how exactly we thanked our men after we got back to the hotel, cracking up at Leah's tale of Emmett's drunk private reshowing after they got back to the room. I was finally feeling completely better when we left. It was 1:30, only an hour and a half left to get to the church, dressed, and then the big day!

Alice and I dressed quickly in our simple, fitted black satin gowns and then turned to work on Leah. We helped her into her dress. It was simple, but gorgeous, just like her. It wasn't the big poofy style dress, it was sleek, hugging her whole body, and flowing out just a bit at the bottom. It was low cut and sleeveless. The way the soft white lay on her olive skin was beautiful. Her hair was down, straight and shoulder length, just like I remember it always being. A small tiara glittered on her head, all real diamonds. It had been a wedding gift from Emmett, he said it was because she was his princess. Alice and I were both swooning when we heard that story. Alice slipped a blue clip into her hair, the final dash of color to complete he look, and then handed her a lacy garter.

"Ok, this was my mother's so I want it back." she smiled. "So that's something borrowed and something blue."

"Oh no! I don't have anything old!" Leah started to panic with the pre wedding nerves.

"Yes you do." I smiled, rummaging through my purse. "Here." I handed her a small box.

"Bella…" She gasped when she opened it. "Are you sure?" she ran her fingers over the diamond earrings.

They were my great grandmother's, Renee had given them to me when I was seven. Leah fell in love with them instantly, and though I didn't wear them, I wouldn't let anyone else wear them either. Over those earrings, were the only real fights I remember Leah and I ever having…before Sam anyway.

"I love you! You're my best friend Bella, more than that you're my sister!" She threw her arms around me. "I'm so sorry I hurt you. I don't know why you ever forgave me, but thank you. I love you!" She cried on my shoulder.

"Shhh." I whispered, trying not to cry with her. "Don't cry, today is your day. I love you too! What happened doesn't matter, Sam is an idiot." I squeezed her tight, feeling my own tears spill over. Right then I forgave her completely.

"Ok stop it!" Alice wiped away her own tears. "Your mascara is going to be a mess Leah." she pouted.

"I'm sorry." Leah chuckled pulling away.

I wiped my own eyes carefully, before Alice scolded me as well.

"It's time." Alice smiled as we all held hands looking at Leah in the mirror.

"See you up there!" I smiled and gave her a quick hug as Alice and I left her with her father.

I cried the entire time. Watching my best friend walk down the isle, remembering her and Jake's pretend wedding when we were kids. I cried for the years I missed her because of Sam. I cried watching Emmett's love for her as he said his vows. I cried because I wanted it to be April, I wanted to marry Edward right then.

The reception was almost as beautiful as the wedding, Alice was truly a miracle worker. Leah and Emmett were perfect for each other. I smiled watching all of my best friends laugh together. Alice and Jasper, Leah and Emmett, so much love, all brought together because Edward and I met. The crowd exploded in hysterics as Emmett placed a piece of cake lovingly in Leah's mouth, only for her to smear the biggest slice I had ever seen from his chin the whole way into his hair. He almost tackled her to the ground. The night was perfect. I caught the bouquet, of course we all saw it coming, Leah might as well have just walked up and handed it to me she was so close when she tossed it right into my arms. Emmett slingshotted the garter right into Edward's face.

Emmett and Leah were dancing their last dance to "feels like home" By Chantal Kreviazuk. I stood to the side just watching them be lost in each other, and didn't even bother to try fighting back the happy tears.

"Are you still crying love." Edward chuckled, wrapping his arms around me.

"Yep." I admitted shamelessly.

"I thought you didn't like weddings?" He grinned.

"I didn't." I glared playfully. "This is all your fault." I waved my hand, displaying my tear stained face.

"How's that." He kissed away a few tears.

"I didn't get like this before I fell in love with you damnit!" I pouted. "I felt bad for people getting married. Now look at me!" I grumbled. "All weepy, ready to wisp you off to Vegas right this second."

"Patience love." He smiled, kissing me lightly. "Our time is almost here."
