Chapter Nineteen
"Is everything in place?" Alice questioned, frantically running around the property. "The flowers, the tent, the lights! Is everything all ready to go!"
"Calm down, Als," I told my sister, placing a hand on her tiny shoulder. "I'm thankful you've arranged this all, but you need to take a chill pill. Where's Jazz when you need him?"
"I'm right here," He said, coming up from behind me in a tux.
"Snazzy suit," I said to my brother, winking at him. He chuckled as he nudged my arm.
"Well, I'm sure you're going to look breath taking in your dress. Anyway, Alice, baby, everything is fine and ready to go. All you need to do now is help Bella with her dress," Jasper said, rubbing his wife's shoulders.
"Alright...Right...The dress! Oh the dress, come on Bells," Alice said, taking my hand in hers and dragging me towards the other room.
Alice then brought me to a room where Esme, Rose, Renesmee, and Emalie were all set up.
"Auntie Bella! Do you like my dress? Aunt Ali picked it out for me," Emalie said as she ran up to me, eagerly smiling.
"Oh my gosh, it's beautiful. Do a twirl for me," I told my niece as I knelt down to her height.
Emalie grinned as she twirled around in her white dress. It had a Cinderella ball gown appeal to it. It had two thick white straps and she had flowers going all around her waist. The white dress was embedded with small flowers and had she even had a flower crown made of pink roses, just like the ones going around her waist. Her shoes were a pair of white sandals and her little toes were painted with a baby pink from the night before when we had our girls night out.
"You look like a princess," I told Emalie, kissing her cheek. She blushed and let out a small giggle.
"Thank you...But wait until you see your dress Auntie Bella! Aunt Ali made such a pretty dress for you," Emalie exclaimed, motioning to a covered up bag.
"She's right Mom," Renesmee said as she greeted me with a smile. When I looked at her I gasped in awe. My little baby looked so grown up. She was in a long blue gown that went down to her feet. It was a strapless dress with a big blue flower on her waist. Her hair was up and perfectly curled with a flower intwined in it. She looked so much like an adult.
"Oh my, you don't look like my baby anymore," I said, cupping both of her cheeks.
"Aww, Mom. Don't make me cry. No crying today," She told me. I chuckled as I then hugged my daughter.
"Right," I said, kissing the top of her head.
"Come on ladies, let's get ready! We have a wedding starting in less than two hours!" Alice exclaimed, dragging me to the nearby chair.
After about an hour of make-up and clothes, I was finally in my dress. And Emalie was right, it was gorgeous.
The dress had an older style to it, much to my liking, but it also had a bit of a modern flare. It kind of reminded me of the dress my mom had in her wedding photos. The long sleeves and the neckline were all made out of lace. My veil reached all the way to the floor and my dress did have a slight train. The dress also fit perfectly to the curves of my body.
"Oh my gosh, Bella you look so beautiful," Esme gushed. "I'm so happy that you're going to be marrying my son today."
"We'll I'm happy to gain a new mother. I haven't had one in a long time," I said to Esme softly. She smiled as she then pulled me into her arms for a hug.
"Here, I got you something old. It's from my wedding with Carlisle," Esme told me, once we pulled away, as she placed a pearl necklace in my hands.
"Aw, thank you so much Esme," I said, looking at the necklace in awe. "It's so beautiful."
"And I've got the blue thing for you," Renesmee exclaimed, handing me a silver hair piece with blue sapphires in it.
"Renesmee-"
"I bought it with my own money and added the sapphires with Alice and Esme's help. Take it Mom," Renesmee said as she shoved it into my hands.
"Oh, thank you so much baby. I love it," I said, hugging her.
"By the way, I've got the something borrowed for you," Rosalie told me once I pulled away from Renesmee. She chuckled as she handed me a garter. "It was mine at my wedding. Edward actually caught it, funny huh?"
"Thanks Rose." I giggled as I took it from her and gave her a hug. "I'm glad I'm gaining a new sister today."
"Me too Bella," She said, smiling at me as we broke apart.
"Thank you everyone," I said, looking at all the girls in the room. "I don't think I couldn't have done this wedding without any of you."
"Aw, well we're thankful for you too Bells. Anyway, let's get this jewelry on Bella so the wedding can start!" Alice cheered, sitting me down in the chair again. I chuckled with the others as Alice helped me put everything on.
"Oh shoot, where's the something new!" Alice cried out, noticing I was forgetting one of the things.
"Um.. I've got something new for you," Emmett all of a sudden said from behind. He was holding a black box in his hands as he stood in the middle of the doorway. "You look really pretty Bella. You look a lot like Ma...And I know Pa would crying now if he saw you."
I smiled as I went up to my brother. "Thanks Emmett, you look handsome too. You're looking more and more like Daddy each day."
He grinned as he then shoved the box in my hands. "It's a little something, but I wanted to get my little sister something nice for her wedding."
"Em, you shouldn't have," I said to him.
"Just open the box Belle," he said, rolling his eyes.
I chuckled as I opened it up to reveal a charm bracelet. On it was a book for my love of reading, a cabin to represent our home in Tennessee, a little heart with the wedding date on it, my birthstone, and two bear cubs.
"Em, this is beautiful," I whispered, admiring the bracelet. "Thank you."
"It was nothing Belle. I'm just happy my little sis is going to be happy today," He told me, cupping my cheeks. "To think, Ma just had you yesterday and you were falling flat on your face trying to walk."
"Em, really?" I said, nudging him playfully. He just laughed as he hugged me.
"Love you Bells," He told me, kissing the top of my head.
"Love you too Em," I replied, hugging him back.
"Alright, not to be the bad guy here, but you two need to get to the start of the aisle. The wedding is starting in five minutes! Come on people! Let's get this wedding on the move!" Alice exclaimed, rushing everyone to their spots.
I just giggled as I took Emmett's arm and headed towards our position. I couldn't see anything purposely because of Alice, so I just awaited in anticipation.
That's when I heard the wedding march begin. I looked up at Emmett, who looked like he wanted to cry.
"That's our cue. Are you ready Bells?" he asked me, taking my hand.
"Yeah," I responded. "Just don't let me fall."
"I doubt that'll happen. You'll be the one to stop me from falling," He teased with me. I nervously chuckled as I gripped to Emmett's arm and began to make my way towards the backyard.
When we reached the yard, I gasped a little. It was beautiful. Alice, Esme, and the others did such a good job on it. It looked like a fairy tale. There were white and lavender petals scattered all over the forest floor, but there were pink rose petals that were scattered up the aisle from Emalie. They had white whicker benches going up the aisle for the guests and the altar had a small gazebo covered in rose vines. They even managed to get strands of flowers to hang from the trees.
As I began to walk with Emmett I saw my whole family smiling at me, but when I saw Edward...My eyes locked onto his and only his.
He looked absolutely handsome. He was in a black tuxedo, but it looked like one from his time period. His hair wasn't slicked back, thank god. It was perfectly tousled, just the way I like it. I knew Esme wanted it slicked back, but I think I talked her out of it.
He still looked amazing as ever. I didn't even realize that I was done walking up the aisle when Emmett stopped short.
"I don't wanna let go yet Belle," Emmett whispered to me sadly.
"Don't worry Em. I promise I'll always be your little sis. It's okay," I told him gently, rubbing his arm.
He nodded as he then brought me into a surprising hug. I chuckled as I hugged him back before pulling away so I could meet Edward.
"Thanks Em," I whispered to my brother, kissing his cheek as I then went up to the alter to Edward's side. He let his hand out to me and I slowly take it, clasping it in mine as we stood there.
"You look beautiful," he whispered to me.
"Thanks," I said, smiling up at him. If I was a human I know I'd be blushing a scarlet red right now. "You look amazing too."
"Alright, everyone. Sit down," Carlisle announced, smiling at everyone. "We're gathered here today to witness the matrimony of Isabella McCarty and Edward Cullen...Now, Edward. After me; I, Edward Cullen."
" I, Edward Cullen," Edward replied, looking at me in the eyes with love and affection.
"Take you, Isabella McCarty," Carlisle said.
"Take you, Isabella McCarty" Edward repeated with a grin.
" To have and to hold," Carlisle continued, but his voice seemed to fade out as if Edward and I were the only ones in the room, or world for the matter.
"To have and to hold."
"For better, for worse."
"For richer, for poorer."
"In sickness and in health."
"To love."
"To cherish as long as we both shall live."
"I do," I heard the sweet voice of Edward say proudly as he slipped the ring onto my finger. I smiled as I then slipped his on and replied sweetly with, "I do."
"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride!" Carlisle exclaimed.
"I love you, Bella," Edward whispered to me, cupping my face.
"I love you," I replied as I then kissed his lips with all the force in my body. I threw my arms around Edward's neck and he grabbed my waist gently with his hands. This had to be the most passionate kiss we've ever shared, or the most memorable. It was just making me itch to go to the honeymoon already.
When we broke apart I looked to see that the rest of our family and friends were still cheering away. I chuckled as Edward wrapped his arms around me and we then made our way down the aisle. I even saw Tanya smiling, which was a surprise.
From there we went to the reception, which was located in our yard. It was a really beautiful set up. Alice and Esme did such a good job. They had a small section that had tables set up and a space cleared out for dancing. There was even a small band in the corner.
It was a nice old fashioned wedding, but it had some modern flare. All in all, the flowers, the decorations, and even the cake they got was beautiful.
The cake was for our few selected guests; Rosalie's dad and her brothers, Leah, Seth, Jacob, Renesmee, and Emalie. Billy Black, Jacob's dad, was invited to tag along but he didn't come only because Jake told us he's scared of the 'cold ones'. Jacob said he should turn around at one point. I think Renesmee's only worried Billy won't accept her, but she shouldn't worry. Once he knows how amazing of a person she is, he'll accept her. I hope.
Also, speaking of Rosalie's family, Mr. Hale and George know about vampires now. Since the Volturi aren't in power anymore, it's safe to tell them.
They were both shocked to learn that vampires were real, and that Rose is one and Emalie is half one, but in the end they accepted them for who they are. Mr. Hale is still trying to grasp the whole thing, but George is having a blast. In fact George thinks it's the coolest thing in the world that he has a vampire sister and loves to make vampire jokes. They're a bit corny and annoying though.
George also seems to be catching the eye of a Miss Tanya Denali, which was another surprise from her. So far this whole entire wedding they have been non stop talking. He's telling her a bunch of corny jokes and she can't stop laughing. It's a whole light to Tanya that I've never seen before.
"They seem to be getting really close," I mused as Rosalie came over to me.
"I wonder if he likes her, he seems like he does," She said as she stood with me, watching the two laugh.
"Um Rose," Edward said as he came over to us. "I hate to break this to you, but I think that they might be..."
"Mates? I kind of figured. The way they're looking at each other, it's the same way I look at Emmett," She said softly. "I just hope she doesn't hurt him."
"She won't, if they are mates. Everything she'll do, and everything he'll do, will be out of love for each other," Edward reassured her.
"And if they are mates, then there is the possibility that he might become one of us in the future," I said to Rose. "Are you okay with that?"
Rose turned to me with soft eyes and a smile, "Yeah. He deserves to be happy, even if it's with Tanya. It's love, and I'm not going to stop it. He may be my baby brother, but he's an adult now and it's time for him to make decisions of his own. Plus he needs a woman like Tanya to keep him in tact."
I smiled back at her and placed a hand gently on her shoulder, "Think of it this way too, now you get to have your brother for an eternity."
Rosalie chuckled as she hugged my side. "Yeah, it doesn't seem too bad."
"Also it means that Tanya won't be annoying us now," Edward whispered in our ears jokingly. I giggled as I then nudged him in the side playfully.
"I'd like to make a toast!" Emmett announced, clinking his glass, making everyone in the area stop what they were doing.
"To my brother and sister! Man, I can't believe I'm doing this...Especially after everything that has happened, I never thought I would be able to toast my sister at her own wedding. I honestly thought Belle was dead all these years, but when I saw her enter the room...I thought I saw a ghost honestly."
"I know our dad was suppose to be the one to embarrass you in front of your first boyfriend and our mom was suppose to pinch his cheeks and all that crap...I've done all that I can, but I won't be pinching Eddie's cheeks anytime soon, just saying." This had the guests laughing, and Edward and I as well. "Anyway, cheers to my little sister, who use to eat mud pies and wrestle the neighborhood boys, just saying Eddie boy. And to my uptight brother, who's underpants always seem to be a size too tight. Congratulations you two. I know you were both meant for one another. I'm proud of you both. Cheers everyone!"
We all clapped as Emmett headed off the stage. I couldn't help but laugh, even if Emmett was teasing me. All the other family members made speeches after that, even little Emalie. They were all cute, funny, and amazing.
My first dance of the night with Edward was to Claire de lune. Of course, it was amazing, and from there I basically danced for the rest of the night and had fun. Mostly I danced with Edward, but my brothers and the other men of the family stole a few dances. I danced with Carlisle, swing danced with Jasper, and let Emmett swing me all over the place. It was also cute watching Renesmee and Emalie dance with Edward since they both had to dance on his toes.
Emmett and I even had a brother and sister dance together while Esme and Edward had a mother and son dance to a song Edward wrote for her. Meanwhile Emmett and I danced to What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.
"I can't believe it. I'm dancing with my klutzy baby sis on her wedding," Emmett said as he swung me around.
"Me either Em." I chuckled, hugging tight to my brother.
"I know Ma and Pa are looking down at you, smiling right now," Emmett said. "They're probably saying how their little Isabella is all grown up."
"You too Em, might I add," I said, smiling at him. My brother chuckled as he picked me up and swirled me around in the air.
"They are. I love ya Bells. Always will," Emmett told me.
"Me too Em, me too," I said to him as we both swayed back and forth.
From there the night went by very quick. We also had the traditional wedding events, like the garter. Oh god, that was embarrassing. I felt like I was red in the face as everyone watched. It was nice when Edward slowly took the garter off, kissing my leg gently in the process, but with everyone starring it was very embarrassing...Especially since Jacob caught it.
The bouquet toss was cute because Kate caught it and right after it Garrett proposed to her, so a really nice surprise came out of our wedding.
It was now nearing the end of the night and I changed out of my wedding dress into a nice dress to travel in. It was a short black dress. As Alice put it, "It's formal yet sexy enough for Edward to rip off." Which I responded with a roll of the eyes.
"So where are we going again?" I asked Edward, trying to figure out what the surprise location was.
"I'm not telling. You'll see," He said, winking at me. I rolled my eyes as I then took his hand and we ran through the people pelting rice at us. When I reached the end I saw Renesmee waiting for us. Jacob was right behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist.
"I'll see you guys when you get back, okay?" Renesmee said, hugging Edward and I both at the same time.
"Yeah. From there we're going to figure out what our next move will be," I said, kissing her head. I noticed she tensed up a bit at the mention of our next move, but she's probably just nervous about it. "I love you baby."
"I love you too Momma," Renesmee replied, wrapping her arms around me again. I held my daughter for a few more moments before passing her over to Edward. I smiled as the two held one another. To think, a few months ago she didn't even have her father.
"I'll see you soon, Bells. Have fun," Emmett said, coming over to me. Right behind him Rosalie smiled at me with a sleeping Emalie in her arms.
"Thanks Em...I'll miss you," I said as I then threw my arms around his neck. "I love you."
"Love you too Bells, now go have fun," He said. I smiled and nodded at him. I then said goodbye to the rest of the family before climbing in the Aston Martin Vanquish with Edward.
"So...Can you tell me now?" I asked Edward, smiling at him. He chuckled and shook his head.
"No. You'll see, as I said it's a surprise," He said. I rolled my eyes playfully, which caused him to laugh as we then sped right out of Forks.
From there we took a private jet for a few hours, probably around ten hours, but I didn't really notice since I was too involved with my new husband. Husband. I love the sound of that. Mrs. Isabella Marie Cullen.
"We're almost there, love. I promise," Edward said, winking at me. I sighed as I leant against his chest.
"I'm dying to see this mysterious honeymooning place you picked out," I said to him.
"I know you are love." He chuckled. I sighed as I snuggled up to him and we watched a movie together for a bit, until it was finally time to land.
When we landed the view in front of me was amazing. It was the city of Paris, the city of love.
"Paris? We're honeymooning here...Wow," I whispered in awe looking at the city. "It's beautiful Edward...Amazing. Just wow."
Edward chuckled as he took my hand. "Well we're not exactly staying in the city of Paris. We have to travel a bit more, but I promise it'll be worth it," Edward whispered to me, kissing my lips.
"Hmmm, you're going to be the death of me Edward Cullen." I sighed dramatically, causing him to chuckle.
From there we take a cab through the city of Paris. It was really pretty seeing all the sights. In all my years I've never been to Paris or France for that matter. I've been to England a few times and Scotland once, but I never really traveled much in Europe due to the Volturi. Now since they're gone it looks like I can travel anywhere I want without a problem.
When the cab stopped he left us off at a car rental place in Paris. From there we traveled until we reached what seemed to be the French country side.
Our car didn't stop until it came across a big estate in the middle of nowhere. There was a mansion and the mansion had to be even bigger than the Cullen home in Forks. It was massive and absolutely beautiful. It looked like something that had to be built in the late or early 1800's.
"It's beautiful," I whispered.
"It's a home Carlisle bought for Esme for their twentieth year of marriage. He also got her an island for their first anniversary in Brazil, but I thought it would be more interesting here considering you lived in Brazil and South America for a majority of your life," Edward told me as he placed our bags down on the living room floor. We then made our way upstairs to see the massive master bedroom. It was gorgeous and so elegant.
"We're also located on the French sea side." Edward pointed out through the big french doors and large windows in the room. I go to take a closer look to see a small cove that is lit by the moon.
"It's amazing Edward. Thank you for brining me here," I whispered, gripping to the curtains.
"Looks like this is the beginning to our forever, Mrs. Cullen," Edward whispered, coming to my side to kiss my cheek. I chuckled as I then gripped to my husband's bronze hair to give him a passionate kiss.
Edward began to make kisses going up along my neck from there and I felt myself getting antsy. I then pushed him onto the bed where I go to take a seat on his lap. I kiss him slowly and deeply. Each kiss was even more perfect. His hands trailing up and down my body. I gripped to his shirt and next thing you know I'm unbuttoning his shirt for him. I could feel him tearing the back of my dress off. Slowly, but gently, he pulled the dress off of my body and I took his shirt off, revealing his perfect pale chest. I then run my hands up and down it as I go to kiss him. I moan in delight at Edward's touch.
"I love you," I whispered to him in between a kiss.
"I love you too, Mrs. Cullen." I grinned against his mouth as I began to make kisses along his neck.
That night would have to be the most passionate night of my life that I've ever experienced. I've had sex with Edward before, but this was one of the most memorable. Maybe it's because it was the first time we ever made love as husband and wife, but I'll never ever forget that night. We became one. I was his, and he was mine. For forever and ever.
