The next morning, we woke up at 6am and got ready for the day before having the breakfast that was provided and climbing back in the car for the next leg of our journey.

Once we made it to Twin Falls, we decided to stop at the Shoshone Falls Park to explore a little and see the waterfalls.

I couldn't even begin to describe how much happiness this entire road trip was giving me. Even the small things like the places we were seeing and visiting. While I was loving all of it myself anyways, Bella was loving it too. Seeing her so happy, smiling and laughing in the sun, made me even more happy than I thought was possible.

The air was getting warmer as we continued south, considering it was mid-June, so Bella was shedding more layers of her clothes as we drove.

There wasn't really much to see until we made it to Salt Lake City. We actually could've made it all the way to Las Vegas considering it was only about another 6 hours and it was only noon, but we decided to stay and see the sights, then it would be on to Las Vegas the next day.

The hotel Bella had chosen for the night was the five-star Grand America Hotel.

Knowing that we probably wouldn't get very many trips like this, we'd already decided we were going to go all out.

"You know what I just realized, babe?" I asked her as we looked around for a place to eat.

"What's that?"

"After tomorrow, this trip will technically be turned into our honeymoon too." I told her with a huge grin.

"I hadn't thought about that, but you're right." She replied happily. "So, Jared, where are you taking me on our honeymoon?"

"I was thinking we could go the other route home." I said, having thought about it a lot on the drive.

"What route is that?" She asked me curiously.

"The Pacific coast." I said as we pulled into a diner.

Her eyebrows rose and a smile spread across her face. I could feel her excitement at the thought.

We'd only been gone two days, we had a whole two weeks.

"So does that mean we get the sun and sand?" She asked me excitedly while we got out of the car.

"As much sun and sand as you want for at least a week before we actually have to drive back home." I told her, putting my arm around her shoulder, kissing the side of her head.

"The Pacific Coast Highway?"

"Whatever you want, babe." I replied happily.

"You know what that means, right?" She questioned. I looked at her to continue. "We'll need to buy some new clothes. Beach clothes." She winked at me.

We ate our lunch and decided to go exploring around the city and went to the Great Lake State Park.

After another amazing day of hiking and exploring, we made our way back to our five-star hotel.

After dinner and some true relaxation, it didn't take much for both of us to fall asleep, anxious for what the next day held.

The next morning, our official wedding day, we set out early.

This time Bella was driving. It was six hours to make it to Las Vegas and we both wanted to make the trip without any stops.

"You know it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding." Bella laughed as we drove towards Nevada.

"I think that's kind of hard when we'll be in the same car until we get there. I think we might have a free pass considering you're my mate." I winked at her happily.

"How is it, you know, not phasing?" She asked me curiously.

"It's only been a few days, babe. Don't get me wrong, I love being a wolf. I guess it's the freedom, running as fast as we can, the power of being this huge supernatural animal. One day I'll stop phasing completely though, that way I can age with you. I started phasing when I was only 16 and on top of that, it was only me and Sam, making me his beta by default. That's a lot to put on a 16-year-old. Two years of that and it's really, really nice to have some time off, especially when it involves marrying my imprint." I explained to her honestly.

"When will you know it's time to stop phasing?" She questioned.

"I guess I'll just know. If things stay quiet long enough, the pack won't need all of us. Sam and I will probably be the first to stop. Jake will take over as alpha and Paul will be his beta unless he decides to stop phasing by then too, then it'll be Embry."

We continued talking about all kinds of things and about the future as well as she drove. I could feel her excitement and I knew she could feel mine as we got closer and closer to the city.

At 1pm, we passed the 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign.

We decided the first thing we were going to do was go shopping. There were certain things both of us needed before we actually went and got married.

We parked and started walking down the strip, admiring all the sights. I couldn't wait to see what it looked like at night.

Bella ended up buying a white sun dress and got me a white button up and some beige linen pants for when we got married. Even though we were getting eloped, there wasn't anything wrong with looking the part.

I had my turn next. I pulled her into a nice jewelry store and started looking at wedding ring/engagement sets.

The lady behind the counter had been extremely leery of us, not wanting to show us anything until Bella pulled out the Amex Black Card and handed it to me, causing the lady's eyes to widen and her to start being extremely nice to us.

The prices on them would've normally shocked me, but Bella had insisted we use the Amex card for this one particular purchase.

I looked around for a little while as she looked around the other side of the store before finally eyeing the set I knew I wanted.

"Bella." I motioned for her to come over as the lady pulled the set out for me to look at and see if it would fit her.

I picked it up to inspect it and I knew it was the one.

"Did you find— wow, Jared that's beautiful." She told me almost breathlessly as she saw it.

"Can she try it on?" I asked the lady behind the counter who agreed as long as the guard was in front of the door. I couldn't say I blamed them for having that policy.

I slid it onto her ring finger, and it fit perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better result.

The engagement ring was a platinum band with a princess cut diamond in the middle surrounded by smaller diamonds on each side. It was paired with a braided looking wedding band that was beautiful.

"It's perfect." Bella said happily, looking down at her hand. "I found the perfect one for you too, one that you can keep."

"We're going to get this set." I told the lady who smiled happily at my decision and began boxing it up as we walked over to the other counter to see the one Bella had chosen.

When the lady pulled out the men's ring, I looked over at Bella with my eyebrows raised.

"How-?"

"I told you it was perfect." She said as she picked it up and slid it on my finger to test the size.

It truly was perfect too. It was black and had two wolves' heads facing each other engraved into the band. It fit just right as well.

"We'll add this one as well." I told the lady.

She boxed both of them up and put them in a small bag for us. I automatically cringed seeing the total before Bella made me slide the card to pay for it.

Walking out of the store, I looked over at Bella and held up the tiny bag.

"We just spent more on this than I did on my car." I laughed.

"I would've just been happy with your class ring." She reminded me, holding my hand while holding the other bag with our clothes in it.

"I wanted this for you. Guaranteed it wouldn't have been possible without the financial help from sparkly barbie, but you deserve the best and I'm grateful that we were able to get it. This is something you'll wear for our entire lives." I told her truthfully. "And I'll wear mine until we get home and I can get the tribal ring tattoo. Then we can put my ring on your chain with my class ring and you can wear it too until I stop phasing."

She smiled at me with the thought and we started heading toward the hotel we'd chosen for the night.

As we arrived at Caesar's Palace, luckily I'd known beforehand that they only allowed reservations with at least one person being 21 or older. Considering I looked more than 21, nearly all of us in the pack got fake ID's knowing that alcohol really had no effect on us, so it was only for special purposes and this time it came in handy.

We managed to get a suite. Not a fancy one or anything, but better than a regular room. It was our wedding night after all.

After making it up to our room, we decided to take a shower before getting ready. When I got done putting my clothes on, I walked out of the bathroom to see Bella standing there looking out the window at the beautiful fountains below.

I was worried that she might be second guessing things, but I could feel nothing of the sort from her emotions. She was excited, determined, and happy.

She looked so beautiful standing there in her white sundress and her hand pressed against the head-to-toe window. I took the moment to just appreciate the sight before me.

I never thought I'd be here, staring at the love of my life, my imprint, only about an hour before we were set to get married. I never imagined being this happy, being on a road trip/honeymoon that was actually away from La Push. I knew that our little bubble of happiness that was reserved for only ourselves would eventually end (though not all the way) but we'd have to go back to normal life. It would be a life together though, so that gave me reason enough to be happy.

"Are you going to stop thinking and come over here with me?" She asked me, still not looking at anything but the sights ahead.

I laughed and walked over to her, wrapping my arms around her from behind and swaying back and forth as I looked out the window with her.

"You look beautiful." I whispered in her ear before kissing the side of her head. She smiled at the sentiment.

"Are you ready to go get married?" She asked me excitedly.

"I've been ready since the moment I imprinted on you." I told her honestly. "Are you?"

"I am. Let's go, I don't want to wait anymore." She said, stepping out of my grasp and pulling me by the hand toward the doorway, grabbing our few essentials on the way.


A/N- So much fluff! My heart can hardly handle it. This story honestly just makes me happy just writing it.

What do you think? Ready for the honeymoon?
