A.N. ~ Wow so do you guys hate me for making you wait over a month for this. Well just so you know I have been working on this the entire time, I just could not get it right.

So with that said I would just like to send out a big thank you to all of you who have been a constant reader and reviewer and I hope that you will join me in my future stories. Well then I have rambled on enough. On with the story.



EPOV-

The reception was in full swing and everyone was having a great time. After we had been introduced to our guests as an officially married couple, our parents proceeded to invited everyone to follow them over to the reception area for drinks and hors d'oeuvres while we went off with the photographer to have more pictures taken. Once the pictures were done we headed back to the reception area where we lined up to be announced in by the dj. We walked in to the booming sound of applause and wolf whistling, and headed straight to the dance floor for our fist dance as a married couple. Bella hadn't told me which song she had chosen for our first dance but the moment the first notes played I was brought back to that night four years ago, when we shared our first kiss and declared our love for one another. Those who didn't know the story behind the song probably thought it was an odd choice but those who did smiled as their own memories of that crazy night flooded their heads. Once the song ended we took a moment to thank everyone for joining us on our special day, followed by our parents saying a few words and welcoming everyone to enjoy the buffet dinner. When it looked like everyone was starting to get full, Jasper took the opportunity to stand up and give his speech. I thought back to it.

I watched as Jasper stood up, clinking the side of his champagne flute.

"Can I have everyone's attention please?" He called out causing everyone to stop talking and turn his way. He flashed what my sister called his panty dropping grin at everyone before speaking again. "First of all on behalf of myself and the rest of the wedding party, we would like to thank you all for joining us here today to celebrate the marriage of Emmett and Bella. They say that there is someone out there for everyone. A soul mate. It could be love at first sight like a little girl spotting the new boy all alone on the first day of school and telling her brother that one day she was going to marry that boy." I watched as he smiled at me sister causing her to blush lightly. "Or maybe you knew the person most of your life and it took a summer apart and puberty kicking in for you to notice each other." He said casting a small smirk towards Edward, who was redder then I had ever seen him. He knew Jasper was referring to when Rose got back from cheer camp and after she told Edward how great he looked and how much he had grown, he replied by muttering one word. Boobs. Needless to say we have never let him live it down. "Unfortunately though some of us have to have a cruel twist of fate for us to find that one person meant for us, and that is what happened to these two. To say that Emmett and Bella have had an easy relationship would be a blatant lie. These two have had more ups and downs, and misunderstandings then any relationship should ever have. In fact most couples would have given up and called it quits, but not these two. No! Emmett and Bella found love and they fought to keep it. So." He turned towards us, glass lifted. "Emmett. Bella. Thank you. For being an inspiration to all of us. For showing us all that love, true love conquers all. I would say that I hope you have years of happiness and love together, but I already know you will. To Emmett and Bella."

After we were finished everyone got on the dance floor and started partying. We had let an hour or so go by before we cut the cake and then returned to dancing with our families, friends, and each other. Now I was standing back, nursing a beer, and watching my new bride bouncing around the dance floor with my sister and Rose.

"Who would have thought you would be the first to get married. I would have put my money on Jasper and your sister." I turned to see Angela standing next to me, smiling. I smiled down at her, taking her into a big hug.

"Me too Ang. Me too." I stepped back and looked down at her.

"You both have come a long way from prom night. I'm glad everything worked out for you guys.

"You know. I have you to thank for that night." I said. I laughed as her face scrunched up in confusion. "Well not the whole night. The teach Emmett a lesson plan was all them, but how it ended is all because of you. If you hadn't told me to get my sorry ass back in there and tell her how I felt, I would have ended up leaving and would have never found out how she felt. Thank you for that Ang." She shrugged.

"No big deal. You two are meant for each other and eventually you would have found your way into each others arms."

"True but I'm happy that it happened sooner then later."

"Your happy that what happened sooner then later?" I turned to see my beautiful bride staring up at me with a smile on her face. She looked over at Angela. "Hi Angie. Are you having a good time?"

"The best Bells. Now if you will excuse me I need to find Ben."

"Bye," I said as she turned and went off in search of Ben. I looked back down at Bella who was flashing me a small smirk.

"Are you going to answer my question?" She asked. I wrapped my arms around her and leaned down to place a soft kiss on her lips.

"You babe. Us. Thats what I was happy about happening sooner then later."

"Oh. Well I second that." We stood there for a moment just holding each other and watching as our guests continued to enjoy themselves. We watched as my mother hurried over and informed us that it would be a good time for the bouquet and garter toss, so we had the dj announce for all the unwed ladies to hurry out onto the lawn so Bella could throw the bouquet. Bella smiled at me as she headed over, taking the throwing bouquet from her mother and taking her place in front of the ladies who had congregated. "This ought to be fun to watch." I turned to see Peter walking up with Jasper, Edward, and Ben in tow.

"I heard these things can get vicious." Jacob said walking over to join us along with Garrett, Benjamin, and Alec. All of their girlfriends were out there, some of them had actually removed their shoes and jewelry. We watched as Bella asked them all if they were ready before turning her back to them and throwing the bouquet, high up over her shoulder. All of the men went into hysterics as the women went into a frenzy, diving over one another just to get their hands on the small bunch of flowers. I was pretty sure I saw Rose elbow Kate in the gut as she pushed passed her and saw Victoria trip Tia in her effort. When the dust settled though there stood my pixie sister clutching the flowers like they were a life line. The guys ran over to help their girls up as my sister was hugged by my wife. I looked over at Jasper who was bringing a chair over and placed it where the girls had been. I watched as Alice led my wife over to the chair and sat her down before turning to me and winking.

"Have fun brother." She said as I passed by her. Everyone watched as I knelt down in front of my Bella who was starting to turn a delicious pink color. I wiggled my eyebrows at her as I grabbed her ankle and slowly dragged my hands up her leg. Part of me had wanted to use my teeth to remove the garter but I didn't think her father would have appreciated that, and lets face it the man comes with his own gun. I reached the flimsy piece of fabric and slowly pulled it from her leg and swinging it around my finger. I leaned in and kissed my bride, pulling her to her feet, and getting hoots from the surrounding crowd. I released her and watched her walk over to stand with the other girls as the dj asked all the unwed guys to join me. I watched as the guys came forward with Jasper right up front. I stood back and used my thumb to sling shot it out into the crowd of guys. Unlike the girls though all of the guys jumped away from it, leaving only Jasper to catch it. I watched as Alice ran out and dove into his arms, a bright smile on her face. I walked over to the guys with what I was sure was a questioning look on my face.

"Dude! If you saw the glare of death that he gave us all before we walked out there, you would have dove out of the way to!" Garrett said laughing. "Jasper is one scary SOB when he wants to be." We all watched as Jasper sat Alice down and proceeded to place the garter on her, however I'm sure both my father and I could have done without him using his teeth to pull it up part way. I guess the fact that my father doesn't have a gun gave him the balls to do it. After that we all returned inside the tent and continued to party. I was dancing with Charlotte when Alice came over.

"Your jeep is all packed and ready to go. After the last dance you guys go and change and then meet by the front door. We will have the guests lined up and ready to see you off, okay." I nodded.

"Ladies and gentleman. Please join Emmett and Bella for the last dance of the evening." The dj said as Bella walked into my arms.

"Hello Mr. Cullen." She said wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Hello Mrs. Cullen. Have I told you how gorgeous you look today." I said, holding her close.

"Yes actually, many times, but I never get sick of hearing it." We held each other tightly, getting lost in each others eyes. Soon the song ended and we were torn away from each other. I watched as Rose took Bella towards the guest house and I was taken by Jasper to the main house. I went into my room and saw that Alice had laid an outfit out for me. I stripped out of my tux and put on the black dress pants, dark blue striped dress shirt, and converse sneakers. I grabbed the envelope containing our plane tickets and all the rest of our honeymoon information off of the side table and headed back downstairs. When I reached the bottom of the stairs I found my Bella waiting for me. She had yet to see me so I took a moment to take in the beauty in front of me. She had changed into a studded rib knit hoodie, white skinny jeans that clung to her, and black calf length boots. Her hair had been unpinned and it was cascading down her back in soft curls. She looked amazing.

"See something you like handsome?" I looked up to see her staring back at me, a devilish smirk on her face. I walked slowly towards her causing her to lose some of her edge and start blushing. I leaned forward and brought my lips to her neck, and brushed them up to her ear. I could feel her shiver as I whispered into her ear.

"Always." I pulled away to find her lust filled eyes staring up at me. "You ready to get out of here?" She nodded and placed her hand on the door knob, turning, and opening it. As we stepped outside we were met with cheers, well wishes, and bird seed. We hurried to my jeep where we kissed and hugged our family members one last time.

"I love you Em! Have a great time and I promise we will have everything ready for you guys when you get back." Alice said hugging me. The gang was going to be moving Bella and my stuff into the guest house while we were gone. We had decided that we would live in the guest house for our first year, so we could save up enough money to purchase our own place. Our parents had said that they would buy us one but we refused, wanting to take that step on our own.

"Love you too sis and believe me we will have an amazing time. See you in two weeks." I watched as Bella finished hugging everyone and her dad helped her into the jeep. As we pulled away I couldn't help but glance over at my beautiful bride, bouncing in her seat, anticipating what was to come. I reached over and took her hand, causing her to look over at me. "Are you ready to start our lives as a married couple?" She squeezed my hand.

"More then you know."

BPOV-

I awoke to the sound of the pilot's voice informing us that we had reached our destination. That destination being Zürich, Switzerland. To say that I was excited when I finally learned of our honeymoon destination would be a complete and total understatement. I literally started hyperventilating as the realization that my childhood dream to go there was about to come true. I had first discovered Switzerland in the fourth grade, when we were each given a country to do a report on. I immediately fell in love with country and hoped that one day I would be able to experience the reality of it. To know that Emmett remembered this and went out of his way to make yet another dream of mine come true, made me love him even more.

"Are you excited?" I looked over at Emmett who was stretching his arms above his head. We had taken a three and a half hour flight to Chantilly, VA where we had a two hour layover before boarding a flight to spend another eight hours getting here. We had decided that since Zürich was six hours ahead of us that we would spend our time on the plane sleeping since we would be arriving in Zürich at 1:30 pm and wanted to try to avoid any form of jet lag.

"Very! I can't believe we are here. I can't believe you did this. Have I told you how much I love you lately?" I said gazing up at him with what I'm sure was a goofy, giddy smile on my face. He leaned in and kissed me.

"Many, many, many times, but I never get sick of hearing it." We heard the pilot welcome us all to Zürich and inform us that we could now exit the plane. We exited the plane only to be met by a young man who introduced himself as Bernard, our personal driver for the duration of our trip. After we introduced ourselves he informed us that he had already collected our luggage and it was already in route to our hotel. After making sure we had everything we followed Bernard out to the car and headed for the hotel. I sat back and stared out the window trying to take in everything as Bernard pointed out certain places and talked about different places we should visit during our stay. I still couldn't believe that Emmett had done this for me and I planned on thanking him over and over again later.

We pulled up in front of the Eden Au Lac, a beautiful hotel located on the shores of Lake Zürich. We went inside and checked in before heading up to our room. Emmett had rented us a deluxe suite which consisted of a living room and office area, bedroom, and bathroom. The whole room was decorated in soft, plush fabrics in deep blues and gold and there was an amazing view of the lake. The bathroom was all done in light colored marble and had one of the deepest tubs I had ever seen. After we had settled in we decided to explore the area surrounding the hotel until it was time to get ready for our dinner reservation at Restaurant Eden. At around 5:30 we headed back to get ready. After taking a leisurely bubble bath I walked out into the bedroom to find that Emmett had already placed an outfit on the bed for me along with a note.

Bella,

I hope you enjoyed your bath. When you are finished getting ready please join me in the Eden Restaurant. I will be waiting for you my love.

Emmett

I put the note down and started to get ready. I twisted my hair up into a messy updo and pinned it into place. I put on a light coat of lip gloss, some eyeliner, and a little mascara, trying to keep it natural. The dress was a red silk, halter neck styled one that had a plunging front and ended at my knees. I slipped on a pair of Jimmy Choo red patent-leather peep-toe pumps and my charm necklace and bracelet. I have to admit Alice did a wonderful job shopping for me and I would have to bring her something nice back as a thank you. After doing one more quick check, I grabbed the matching clutch she had gotten and headed down to meet my handsome husband. I was met at the restaurant entrance by the host who had me follow him through the restaurant, to a door that led into a private room. Inside I found Emmett, looking dashing in dark dress pants, a red dress shirt, and dark dinner jacket, standing next to a table for two that was covered in rose petals and candle light. I heard the door shut behind me as Emmett walked towards me, looking me up and down.

"You look gorgeous baby." He said, reaching me and placing a kiss on my lips. I looked around in awe.

"Emmett. This is so beautiful." He took my hand and walked me over to the table, pulling out my chair and helping me sit before sitting himself.

"I'm glad you like it. This is sort of what I had planned for you the night I was going to first propose. Unfortunately you never made it that night, but I promised myself that I would try to recreate the evening I had planned when I got the chance." I stared at him with tears in my ears. He truly was the most amazing man to ever walk the planet, and I was the lucky girl who captured his heart. We spent the rest of the evening dining on European cuisine, discussing our future, and dancing. Soon we decided to head back up to our room for the evening. When we arrived I headed straight for the bathroom, telling Emmett to get comfortable while I changed. I had already placed the lingerie that I would be wowing my husband with tonight in there so he wouldn't see it. I stripped off my dress and shoes before reaching to take the beautiful night gown off the hanger. It was a virginal white satin gown with a sweetheart neckline, empire waist, and a side slit. I slipped it on, and then unpinned my hair letting it fall down my back in soft curls. I took a quick look at myself before heading back into the bedroom. I opened the door to see that Emmett had lit candles throughout the room and there were rose petals scattered everywhere. Emmett had yet to see me since his back was towards me, so I took the opportunity to study my sexy husband. He was clad in nothing but a pair of black silk pajama pants, and his bare, tanned back looked toned and muscular in the dim candle light. I couldn't help but do a little happy dance in my head at the fact that this muscular god was all mine. I shut the bathroom door causing Emmett to turn around and finally see me causing his eyes to go wide and his jaw to drop. I walked to him slowly letting him run his eyes up and down my body. When I reached him he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me flush up against him.

"Bella," he growled before leaning down and pressed his lips to mine. I shivered as his hands slid up my sides, ghosting over the sides of my breast and finding their way into my hair pulling me into a deeper, more passionate kiss. I ran my hands up his chest, memorizing each and every chiseled inch of him. I felt him slowly turning me as he trailed his lips from my lips down to my neck. He soon had my back to him and he slowly brushed his lips down my neck and over my collar bone to my shoulder. I moaned lightly as he ran his hand up my right arm to the strap of my nightie, gently pushing it down my arm, his lips never stopping. He continued devouring my neck as he brought his hand up to caress my now exposed breast, while the hand he had firmly placed on my waist slid up to cover the other one still hidden underneath the silk. I relaxed into him as he caressed and kissed me.

"Mm. Emmett." I moaned turning around to claim his lips with my own. He bent and lifted me bridal style and carried me over and placed me gently on the bed. We let our hands roam each others bodies, each and every one of his touches leaving a lingering tingling sensation behind We had made love before but this time was different, this time was the start of something new, the start of our future together.

We were soon void of our clothing, our naked bodies glowing underneath the candlelight as we slowly became one. We moved together, every touch, every stroke, every kiss, filled with our hopes, dreams, and love. The night was filled with our love making and whispers of our love for one another, and when I finally fell asleep in my loving husband's arms, hours later, my head was filled with dreams of our future and what was yet to come.


What did you think? I would love to know. The hotel is an actual hotel in Switzerland. Its actually quite beautiful. The epilogue is almost complete so you should have it with in the week.
