Three Is Never A Crowd

C23: Dream Wedding

Alice's POV

Two weeks later it was finally time for the day Rose and I had been dreaming about for decades, and everything was really as perfect as we could've wanted it to be.

We purposely did not go for a stag and hen party, but had decided to make it a fun night of boys vs girls in a game night at the house, which of course ended in a draw and a heavy make out session once we were back in our room.

Right now though, all three of us were in separate rooms, with Rosalie being prepared for the day by Tanya and Irina, Bella by Esme and Carmen, and myself by Kate and Victoria, which left the men and to do the last decorations under the supervision of Anna and Natasha.

Carlisle and Eleazar were the only exceptions to that because Eleazar would be marrying us and Carlisle would walk us down the aisle.

"Alice, would you please sit still. It's difficult enough fixing your make-up as it is." Victoria said with a slight look of annoyance.

I smiled at her. "Sorry Vicky. I'm just so excited for today. Rosalie and I have been looking forward to this day for decades."

The redhead just smiled at me as she stepped back to look at her handiwork. "I know you are all very excited, but you wanted it all to be perfect and that is hard with you bouncing around."

I smiled at her as I looked at myself in the mirror, once again amazed with Victoria's proficiency with make-up, although I should have expected that by now.

"I can't help it. You know that I am very excitable, especially when I don't have Bella and Rosalie here to temper me." I said softly.

Both Kate and Victoria smiled at me. "It's okay Alice, you just wouldn't be you if you weren't so easily excitable, we're just teasing you a little. Shall we get this beautiful dress on you. I must say you have really outdone yourself with this one." Kate said with a smile.

I nodded at her as I shrugged off my robe. "Thank you Kate, I really tried to design them with all three of us in mind. Rosalie has something similar to me, except where I have blue tulle, she has red lace. She wears red so much better than I do after all."

Kate nodded at that. "Don't I know it. Bella can't shut up about Rosalie's love for red, or your love for blue, for that matter. Sometimes it seems that you two are all she can talk about these days."

I smiled as I stepped into my dress. "That's because of the circumstances that brought us together and how close we have been from the very beginning. We could see that she was starved for love and everything inside us told us to smother her in it, consequences be damned."

The two women smiled at me as Kate started lacing me in while Victoria worked on sorting out my corset, which was a little wink to my own past, something I had managed to include for Rosalie as well.

After Victoria did up my corset, they helped me get my shoes on, since it was impossible for me to bend down now that I was strapped in.

"I think you're ready Alice, but unfortunately we have to wait an hour before we are allowed to come down." Victoria said with a soft smile.

I smiled at her as I took a seat. "Then we will wait. All the wait in the world is worth if the end result is that I can call them my wives at the end of the day."

Rosalie's POV

I could barely contain my excitement for today, something I had lived towards for over eighty years and honestly I wouldn't want to share this day with anyone else than my family. "So Rose. I can see you're excited for today. Do you three have any special plans for your honeymoon?" Tanya asked with a smile.

I nodded at her. "We're going for a little tour of the country, mostly places that are tied to our pasts before going to our cabin to spend some… quality time for a couple of months."

"You three are really the most insatiable vampires I have ever met, and that is saying something, given Kate, Tanya and my own reputation." Irina said with a smile.

I smirked at that. "Yeah, we've heard that before. We believe it has something to do with Bella's hormonal balance, but you will never hear either Alice or myself complain about that."

They both smiled at that. "I can imagine, Bella has always been one of those girls that drew attention without even having to try, but having said that, I have never seen her even flirt with anyone as blatantly as she does with you two, nor have I ever seen her as comfortable with her own femininity as easily as she does with you two."

I smiled at them. "You three together with Victoria laid a very good base for us to build upon, and let's face it, with Alice being the fashionista that she is, it was only a matter of time before it rubbed off on Bella, even if only a little. She is as big on equality as we are and insists on looking the part and not just the tomboy she really is."

Tanya only nodded as she capped the ruby red lipstick and stepped back with a smile. "I remember the first time I saw her step into the club. She was wearing baggy jeans, converse and a baseball sweater, but she changed so dramatically the first time she put on her uniform, which was something she put together by herself, I might add. If I hadn't known better I would swear that I was looking at brunette version of yourself. She flirted so shamelessly with some of the female clientele sometimes that I really thought it was you I was looking at. It was also the reason she made the best tips out of all servers."

"You mean to tell me that Bella chose that leather outfit herself, boots and all? How did she even get it all on without tripping over." I asked with a smile.

Tanya smiled at that. "She would have Kate or Victoria help her strap her into that outfit, because the first and only time she tried it herself she fell off the chair putting on her boots and almost passed out when she tried to strap herself in too tight."

I smiled as I stepped into my dress. "I can just see that happening to her."

"She had an impressive bump on her head from that spill, but still worked the entire night without even tripping once. It was our first indicator of how special Bella actually was." Irina said as she laced me in, while Tanya struggled to find which way was the right way up for my corset.

"The point needs to be between my breasts, Tanya." I said to help her a little.

She huffed as she flipped it over again. "Remind me to tell Alice that these corsets are hellish devices. I don't understand why you two would voluntarily put yourselves through this."

I smirked at that. "Because it will bring out Bella's favorite assets the most. I will gladly endure a bit of torture to make sure our Tigress' eyes are solely on us during the ceremony."

Irina snorted rather unladylike at that. "I think the chances of her attention being anywhere else than you and Alice will be absolutely zero. Her eyes are always glued to your bodies."

I grinned at that. "That is the idea for the rest of our lives together, Irina. Our mate should only have eyes for us, because we will only have eyes for her."

She only smiled as they helped me step into my shoes. "Since we have a little while before we have to escort you down, you can tell us what you have planned for your honeymoon. Do we need to strengthen some parts of the house?"

I smiled and shook my head. "No, you don't. We plan to have our wedding night and most of our honeymoon at our cabin here before we go off for a small tour of the country. We're going to visit some places from our pasts, and perhaps tie up another loose end if I have my way."

Tanya and Irina smiled as they took a seat. "Tell us everything Rosalie. What are you planning?"

I smiled and told them exactly what I had planned, something that I wanted to do a whole lot earlier.

Bella's POV

While Alice and Rosalie were preparing themselves, I was being prepared for what was shaping up to be the best day of my life, even though I didn't want to admit it, and since both Carmen and Esme had the uncanny ability to see straight trough me, I resigned myself to my fate of being primped up by my mothers, all the while just sitting in my lacy dark purple bra and underwear to match my suit.

My altered suit was hanging on the closet door together with the maroon colored tie, and black silk blouse that Alice had altered beautifully, and every time I looked at it I couldn't help but smile, which of course didn't go unnoticed by Esme and Carmen. "Are you still sure you're not getting excited about today, sweetie? Every time you look at your suit your smile gets brighter." Esme said with a soft smile.

I smiled at her. "Okay, you win. I'm very excited about today. I can finally call them mine after today. It is what I have dreamed of ever since I met them. I'm still so glad I took a chance that first day of school."

Esme smiled at me. "We are also very glad for that, because you have completed both of our families in a way we never knew we needed. You have given me the ability to be a mother again, and I thank you for that, my sweet."

"You two have given me all the motherly love I have always missed in my life. I am proud to call myself your daughter, and that goes for both of you, because even though I haven't known you for that long, you are just as much my mother as Esme is, and I will always love both of you equally." I said with a soft smile.

They both smiled at me and pressed a kiss to the top of my head. "Thank you sweetie. I will admit that I always had dreams of being a mother, but alas it was a dream forever out of my reach, but meeting you has given me a wonderful and beautiful daughter." Carmen said sweetly.

"We might not have raised you, but I have tried to be the mother that you deserve, and in return you have given me my daughters back, because even though they wouldn't admit it, I could see that not having their mating bond completed weighed heavily on them." Esme added with a loving smile.

Since Carmen was done with my make-up, I hugged them both, being careful not to smudge Carmen's hard work, or to ruin their beautiful dresses. "I love you both so much, thank you for letting me a part of your family."

They smiled at me. "Don't mention it sweetie. We were only trying to show you how a mother should act, and judging by this, we succeeded at that." Esme said softly.

I nodded at them. "That you did. My grandmother raised me and taught me a lot of things, but I never felt I could open up to her like I could with you. With all the freedom that she gave me, she was still quite strict, which is probably why I became a bit of a rebel."

"A rebel perhaps, but you have been nothing more than a model daughter as far as we are concerned, and we will not accept any words suggesting the contrary, young lady." Esme said in her best 'Mom' voice, although she smiled brightly at me.

I smiled and hugged them carefully. "Yes mother." I said with a teasing wink.

They smiled and pressed a soft kiss to the top of my head. "Now, let's get you dressed, because I think there are two women who are dying to get married today."

I nodded as I slowly got dressed, finishing up with Esme doing up my tie for me. "I must say despite your usual reluctance to wear color, you wear purple very well." Carmen said with a sweet smile.

"It's not that I have a reluctance to wearing colors, a lot of colors just didn't mesh with my skin when I was human, Alice has helped me a lot in searching for things that fit me as a person, even before I was turned." I said with a smile.

They smiled at that. "It is still refreshing to see, my sweet, but may I ask how you came by these shoes? They're stunning."

"Kate actually recommended them to me. It will both complete the outfit and give a touch of femininity today, and since I know that Alice and Rose love watching me strut my stuff just as much as I love watching them do the same. Rosalie especially is very fond of the times where I wear heels." I said with a soft smile.

Carmen and Esme smiled at me. "We can understand why, sweetie. You look amazing in heels, and it really brings your outfit together, which I thought wasn't possible with open-toed shoes and a suit." Carmen said with a sweet smile.

I smiled at her. "A lot of it has to do with presence. If you believe that you can pull it off, you can do pull off any look, which is a philosophy I have lived by most of my life."

They smiled and hugged me, and after a quick touch up of my make-up, they deigned me ready, leading me outside where Eleazar was already waiting with Kate and Victoria, my Maids of Honor for today.

Esme's POV

The moment we sat down, Natasha started playing the familiar tunes of the wedding march, and I just couldn't resist looking back to see my daughters in their dresses. They looked even more beautiful than I thought was possible and the beaming smiles they sent Bella's way when the brunette turned around was almost enough to make me feel as warm as when I was human again. The pure love they radiated was almost palpable and I shared a smile with Carmen, who was on my other side, since the other spot next to me was of course reserved for Carlisle, who looked so very proud to walk them down the aisle.

Alice and Rosalie smiled brightly at me, which I returned tenfold before they came to the dais where Carlisle placed one of each of their hands in Bella's. "Keep taking care of each other like you have done until now, and you will know nothing but happiness for the rest of your lives." He said as he pressed a kiss to Alice, Rosalie and Bella's cheek.

They smiled at him as he took his seat next to me, giving my hand a loving squeeze.

Eleazar smiled at everyone before he started. "Dear family, we have gathered here today to be witness to the union of Isabella, Rosalie and Alice Cullen. I believe you three have written your own vows for today?"

They nodded and shared a look with each other, and for a moment they seemed to have a moment of doubt, but I was sure that was only because they didn't know who should start.

Alice then smiled at them. "I have seen this day in my head for almost a century, as I have seen you two from the moment I was turned. I knew I could never love anyone or anything as much as I love you two. I was lucky enough to be there for both of you when you woke up in this life and anything I have done over the past months for Bella and in the last decades for Rosalie has been to make you happy. I promise to always try and make you happy and be there for you whenever you need me."

Rosalie and Bella smiled and gave her hands a loving squeeze. "My Alice, My Bella. I never though I deserved love after what happened to me and to this day I think what would've happened if Esme hadn't been there for me. I would've died without ever having the opportunity to even know two such beautiful and loving women. I know I was a bit of a bitch in that first decade, but like a master mason, you chipped away the wall that I had built around my heart, Ali. The last bit was blown away by the steamroller that is you, Bella. Your love and acceptance from the first day we met you showed me everything I had always been afraid of. Both of you showed me the meaning of true love, and I thank you for that, and I promise to be the wife you two deserve."

"Rose, Ali, the first time I saw you in the cafeteria was the happiest day of my life, but I never thought it would evolve into what we now share, or as quickly. You both know all about my history and how I have dealt with some things, but I just want you to know that that Bella died when you two turned me. I love you both more than is sometimes reasonable, and I am sure I always will. I never was very good at relationships or any form of social interaction, but for as long as you two will have me, I will continue to be the balance between you two. I will be the woman and wife that you need and deserve." Bella said sweetly.

They smiled lovingly at each other and I could see they had to resist the urge to kiss each other. "Those were beautiful vows indeed, and things to live by as well. Shall we continue to the most important part."

They nodded and grasped each other's hands. "Alright, do you, Isabella Marie Cullen, take Rosalie Lilian Cullen and Mary Alice Cullen as your lawfully wedded wives, to have and to hold until death do you part?"

Bella smiled at him before turning that million watt smile on her mates. "I do."

He smiled at her before continuing. "Rosalie Lilian Cullen, do you take Isabella Marie Cullen and Mary Alice Cullen as your lawfully wedded wives, to have and to hold until death do you part?"

Rosalie smiled just as brightly as Bella at her two mates. "I do."

"And finally, do you Mary Alice Cullen take Isabella Marie Cullen and Rosalie Lilian Cullen as your lawfully wedded wives, to have and to hold until death do you part?" Eleazar asked with a kind smile.

I could see that Alice's excitement almost threatened to spill over. "I do."

"Then by the power given to me by the Volturi, I pronounce you three married, you may kiss each other to seal your union." He said as he closed the book with his notes.

The smiled at Eleazar before giving each other a chaste kiss, finishing up with a very romantic three way kiss, and while I could see their mouths move, none of us seemed to be able to hear what they were saying to each other.

Once they finally managed to break apart they turned to us, and they immediately made their way to Carlisle and myself.

"Thank you both for everything you have done for us. Today wouldn't have been possible without your care and compassion." Rosalie said with a soft smile as she gave us both a hug.

We just smiled and hugged them all tightly. "We always have been very proud to be your parents, and you can always come to us with anything."

They smiled at us. "We know, and we will if we need your support." Bella said with a loving smile.

We only smiled and I just couldn't resist the urge to place a kiss on each of their cheeks before they were swept up in the wave on congratulations from the rest of the family.

Alice's POV

By the time we were seated for the excellent meal Carmen and Esme had made for us today, the sun was already slowly setting, painting the backyard in a beautiful orange light.

"May I have everyone's attention please? I think it is time for the three brides to have their first official dance as a married couple, for which the music was written by Bella herself." Natasha said with a smile.

I smiled at my two wives as we stepped onto the dancefloor. "When we said you were in charge of the music, we didn't expect you to take it quite so literally." Rosalie said with a soft smile to Bella.

Bella smiled at us. "I know, but I really wanted this song to be something that would be uniquely us."

We smiled at her as Natasha slowly started playing, and soon enough we were swaying across the dancefloor in fluid motions, all the while being completely engrossed in each other.

After our first dance we all danced with Carlisle, and of course Bella had the mother/daughter dance she wished with Esme as well, which made us smile as Rosalie and I swayed on the floor. "If we didn't know any better, you could easily see them be mated." Rosalie said with a soft smile.

"I don't think so. Esme and Bella's relationship has always been that of a mother and a daughter, something they have both craved for a long time." I said with a similar smile.

She only smiled and kissed me as Bella came back up to us and pressed herself against my back, effectively trapping me between their bodies, and I just couldn't help the soft moan that escaped my lips. "I must say love, I love the suit that you are wearing today. It is the perfect mix of mine and Rosalie's dress." I said softly.

She pressed a kiss to my neck and smiled. "Your dresses are beautiful too. Now I get why you spent all those hours designing and creating them, and I look forward to getting you out of them later."

"Soon, Tigress, we just have to sit through the toasts and then we can take all the time in the world to enjoy our wedding nights, because I doubt it will stay at one night only, knowing us." Rosalie said with a soft smile as her arms enveloped us both.

We only nodded as we noticed that we were the only ones left on the dance floor, and that Esme was fixing us with her 'Mom' stare.

We smiled at her as we made our way to our seats, where a glass of champagne was already waiting for us, and honestly I had never seen Bella more excited.

Bella's POV

The toasts lasted for what seemed hours, and we managed to polish off three bottles of champagne between us in that time, and by the time Kate and Victoria finished up their toast, I could honestly say that I definitely felt a bit tipsy, and better yet so were Rose and Ali, the latter being extremely frisky with both of us.

After we said our goodbyes, I picked them both up in bridal style and ran over to our cabin. "You two seem awfully excited to get this night started. "Could you at least wait with getting me naked until we are at the cabin. I want to enjoy this just as much as you two do."

Rosalie gave me a husky smirk. "Then perhaps you should hurry up, Isabella, we're almost soaking through our underwear here."

I sighed softly as ran as fast as I could, arriving at the cabin within minutes, and as soon as we were inside, we flashed to the bedroom. "I hope you two are okay with me stripping you tonight. I have been dying to see what you two are wearing beneath those dresses all night."

"Of course we don't mind, but we have two conditions. One, they stay intact for now, and two, we get to return the favor." Alice said with a sultry smile.

I only nodded and kissed them deeply before I started unlacing their corsets. "If we had been human I would've never understood why you would willingly submit yourselves to the torture of a corset."

"If we had been human we would've never worn them, but now I thought it would be something nice to bring the look together." Alice said softly.

I smiled as I laid their corsets on a chair before I took my time in unlacing Rosalie's dress, not even resisting the urge to kiss her naked back as it was revealed to me.

Alice got the same treatment and I love the soft moans coming from her when I kissed a path down her back. "You're so stunningly beautiful. I still can't believe this is real."

"You better believe it, my love, because this is plenty real, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We are joined in a way not many vampires are. Not many mated couples get married after all. Our family is a bit of an exception to that rule." Rosalie said with a soft smile.

I smiled at that as I slipped the straps off their shoulders and the dresses pooled at their feet, the sight of their sinfully revealing lingerie being enough to make venom pool in my mouth.

"Enjoying the sights, my love?" Rosalie asked with a husky tone.

I only nodded as they gingerly stepped out of their dresses and neatly hung them on the closet door before they turned their attention on me again. "Now that we are nearly sufficiently prepared, let's have a look at what our Tigress has on beneath that gorgeous suit." Alice said with a husky purr to Rose.

Rosalie only nodded as they stalked towards me, Rosalie immediately, but very teasingly untying my tie while Alice helped me step out of my shoes.

Alice then once again stood and popped open the buttons of my blouse very slowly, teasing the exposed skin with every button that was opened, while Rosalie popped the button of the pants and slowly pulled down the zipper, and I had no doubt she could see the outline of my dick straining against the material. "You're so hard already, my love. You must be just as excited as we are for tonight."

I only managed a nod as they suddenly pushed me to the bed, both of them grinning at me like a predator. "Then take us, Bella. We are yours tonight, just as much as you are ours. Nothing is off limits tonight." Rosalie said as she nibbled my ear.

Alice nodded in agreeance and teasingly took one of my breasts out of the cup of my bra, teasing the nipple even more erect. "We will not get carried away though. Two months is along time to spend together and we wouldn't want to spend all of our ammo in one night."

I only smiled as I kissed them both deeply as I relieved them of their bras, and from there we quickly dissolved in a mess of limbs, moans and bodily fluids as we made love long into our wedding night, as it should be.
