As I stepped foot into the church the classic wedding march filled the room and my father guided me down the aisle. It was then I noticed the flowers at the end of the rows. They were white roses tied together with ivory ribbon. There must have been at least 20 roses to a bunch and there were 20 bunches. My father had gone to town. I had no say in the planning of this wedding only that I had to be here at a specific day and time.
I was looking at all the people in the pews and realised that I didn't know anyone here. Yes I knew there faces but that was all. They were aqua ''tis of my fathers and Mr Cullens. I think there were 3 women sitting in the pews and I new 2 of them. My mother and my aunt. The other lady must have been Mrs Cullen. She was very beautiful. She had long blond hair the was neatly curled. She wore a lovely peach dress that's all I could tell from the back. Mr Cullen was wear a black suit it look like he was going to a funeral. His brown hair was all over the place had he even combed it?
I was brought out of my thoughts as my father patted my hand. We were at the alter. How had a managed to walk all the way down the aisle and not realised.
My father kissed my cheeks and gave my hand to my fiancé. It was now I had my first look at him. He was tall with very chiselled features. He could have been a model. Everything was in proportion. I finally looked at his eyes my mother also said you could tell who someone really was by looking into their eyes. And as I looked into his beautiful blue eyes all I saw love, lust curiosity maybe. His blond hair was neatly combed back but it looked lovely and silky great to run my fingers through.
The priest started the sermon but I went back to looking at my future husband. He was tall maybe 6' he worn a black Armani suit with a silver waist coat, silver tie and white gold cuff links. He had a white rose in his lapel. The priest cleared his throat. I looked at him I must have spaced out.
"Are you ok to continue Esme"
"Yes please continue " I answered slightly mortified with myself.
"Please repeat after me I, Esme Ann Platt, take you Carlisle Anthony Mason Cullen, to be my husband, my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love. On this special day, I give to you in the presence of God and all these witnesses my sacred promise to stay by your side as your faithful wife in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, as well as through the good times and the bad. I promise to love you without reservation, comfort you in times of distress, encourage you to achieve all of your goals, laugh with you and cry with you, grow with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest with you, and cherish you for as long as we both shall live."
I whispered along with the priest my voice having left me. The priest then presented me with my husbands wedding ring. It was a simple white gold band with 5 little diamonds in the centre. It was stunning. It was cold to the touch when I pick it up. When I grasped my husbands left hand it was like fireworks had gone off all though my arm it was all tingly. As I placed his ring on his finger I realised that I might actually grow to love this man. His ring fit nicely in place, as I looked up him he was smiling.
"Carlisle please repeat after me I, Carlisle Anthony Mason, take you Esme Ann Platt, to be my wife, my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love. On this special day, I give to you in the presence of God and all these witnesses my sacred promise to stay by your side as your faithful husband in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, as well as through the good times and the bad. I promise to love you without reservation, comfort you in times of distress, encourage you to achieve all of your goals, laugh with you and cry with you, grow with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest with you, and cherish you for as long as we both shall live."
The priest then offered him my ring. I had yet to see it. I didn't even have an engagement ring. I got a quick look at my wedding band as my husband placed it on my finger it was white gold band with diamonds set in the middle it looks like it could be a set as there a space where a diamond would sit. I will look at it in mor detail later. As my husband places it on my finger he kissed my finger sending sparks through my hand.
"Is there anybody her present that see any reason for these 2 people to not complete there union in the eyes of god" The priest said to the congregation, it was deathly silent. I don't know who would not allow this wedding I didn't know any of the guests.
"I know in the present of god and these witnesses pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride"
This is the point were I finally see my husband and kiss him for the first time. As he lifts the vail over my head he cups my face in his hands and leans in for my first kiss. As I close my eyes I feel his soft lips brush against mine in the briefest of touches and then he's gone, I open my eyes and he is looking at me smiling. He's also smiling.
"I plan on having more later" he whispers to me, and I dip my head in embarrassment.
He takes my hand and we walk down the aisle as man and wife I hear please wishing us congratulations but it's a bit of a blur. As I get outside I see a black limo with the back door open.
"We will meet you 2 at the reception" I hear my father call.
"Ok, after you Mrs Cullen" my husband I mean Carlisle says as he helps me into the limo.
