Author's Note: This is last chappie people. Thank you for all of your support! For those who feel so very attached to me, add me to your author alert list and you shall know when I post my newest story. For those who already did it, sit back and wait patiently. For those who want a sequel, sorry but I have to say no to that. I have overwritten this story and I think that's enough drama for now. Once again, I must put the sequel to New Life on hold. Will I ever write it? Probably not but who knows? Love you all! Many thanks to my very frequent reviewers who have stayed with me through all three stories, Seraphyn and kremmy. If I don't mention you and you do fit the criteria, I'm terribly sorry, I am naming from the top of my head here. Enough with my yapping, time for the chapter!

Preparations
Today is the day! Rosalie and Alice had separated me and Edward since early this morning and refused to let him see me. She said it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding but I thought it was just silly superstition. Rosalie disappeared into her closet while Alice dragged me into the bathroom and sat me down in a chair in front of the sink.
"Bend your head in the sink," I did what she said hesitantly wondering what she was going to do. She turned on the water full blast and began to rub my hair in between her palms like she was washing clothes by hand. I closed my eyes and calmed my nerves while she poured shampoo on my head and started to lather my long hair.
Strangely, I wasn't a tad bit nervous about being his wife. I was nervous about reading my vows and about the surprise I had planned. Alice finished and turned off the water. She quickly grabbed a towel and worked it through my hair thoroughly and slowly. When she was done, I flipped my head up and the motion caused my hair to fly backwards and onto my back again. Rosalie came back with the dresses and placed them on her bed before joining us in the bathroom.
"Where is Elizabeth?" I asked curiously.
"She's greeting the guests and making sure everything is exactly like they should be," Rosalie replied grabbing a hair dryer and joined Alice in blowing hot air at my head. "She'll be here in a few minutes to get ready herself."
They tugged and ruffled my hair until it was completely dry and worked a brush through it quickly to make sure there was no tangles in it. I can't remember ever getting one single tangle in my hair ever since the change so I didn't see why they had to check. Alice put on some cream like substance in my hair and Rosalie began to curl my hair with the curling iron. She made small bouncy curls throughout my hair. Finally, Alice pulled several curls near the front back and pinned them down. She was careful to leave one curl on each side of my face and Rosalie quickly straightened it so that it cupped my face. When she was done, Alice stepped back and clapped in approval of her job before Rosalie stepped out of the mirror's way and let me see their progress.
I gasped. It was perfect. Rosalie placed a hand mirror behind me and I was able to see my hair from behind. Alice held the hair in with invisible pins and the only thing showing was the red and white flowers at the top of the pins themselves. I nodded slightly in approval and the curls bounced with the motion. Alice and Rosalie began to work on the makeup.
They lined the rim of my eyelids with a bit of eyeliner to bring out my eyes and applied a light pink to the rest of the eyelid. A bit of blush was applied to my cheeks to give me the slightest hint of my human blush. A bit too much of mascara was applied but Alice said it was all necessary. I wore bright red lipstick and it ignited my pale skin. Alice and Rosalie knew that I wanted a simple look so that was basically it. Once again, I was stunned by what they were able to do and felt excited for Edward to see me. Elizabeth walked in and dropped the shoes she was carrying.
"Bella, you are absolutely beautiful!" We all laughed at this comment. Rosalie was the first to stop and she straightened.
"Alright, time to change. You are getting married today after all and I don't think Edward would be too happy if we are doing this any later than we already are," she announced and pulled me to my feet. Alice disappeared to get the dress and Elizabeth and Rosalie helped me out of my clothes to make it even faster than it already is. When Alice returned, she handed Elizabeth a CORSET! She must've seen the look on my face because she laughed.
"Don't worry Bella, it's not like you need to breath," she joked and helped the others put it on me. I gulped but let them squeeze me into the horrific thing. Alice pulled on the strings as hard as she could and the thing clung to me squeezing the air out of my lungs for a moment. "All good?"
"Am I supposed to be able to breath?" I gasped.
"No," Alice replied insignificantly.
"Okay, then it's good." I thought that was bad but Rosalie suddenly handed me a matching THONG! I opened my mouth to protest but Rosalie threw me a look that made me close my mouth again. I sighed and reminded myself of why I'm doing this and slipped it on quickly wanting to get it over with.
After all of that, they shooed me into the closet to put on my dress while they got ready. I didn't know how they expected me to put this on myself because it was zipped up on the back and had to placed over the stupid corset. I just sat there on Rosalie's bed, wrapped in a towel, and waited for them to be finished so they could help me. It took about five minutes for the three of them to get everything done for themselves. They all had their hair pulled up high in a complicated bun and red pearl pins in it. Their dress was light so it was easy to put it on and their makeup was similiar to mine except it was much simpler. They had matching jewelry and all looked absolutely stunning.
"Why aren't you dressed?" Elizabeth asked when she came out. I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Do you really think I can get into this thing by myself?" I said gesturing to the dress. She sighed and rolled her eyes before pulling me into the closet. She slipped the dress on me and zipped it up promptly after making sure that it was on exactly right and and smoothed it.
When we came out, Alice and Rosalie rushed over to put on the jewelry, gloves, and shoes for me. The veil was placed on my head by Elizabeth, she was a bit fussy about its exact position on my head but eventually settled for a spot.
"Okay, let's go!" Alice screamed. Rosalie and Elizabeth grabbed my train and we walked carefully out of the house and climbed into the horse-drawn carriage right outside the house.
"Holly! Edward is going to die when he sees you!" Emmett said from the driver's spot when he saw me climb on.
"He's already dead Emmett. Just go so we aren't late," Rosalie stated. Emmett saluted to us, turned around, and controlled the horses forward going a trail made specifically for this carriage yesterday into the woods where I was to get married to Edward. Alice reached over and pulled the veil over my face quickly before smiling excitedly as I we came into the clearing in the middle of the woods. I took a deep breath as the carriage came to a stop at the edge of the clearing.
Author's Note: I didn't plan for this, but this is going to be a two-part event so hang on! Review!
