Hope you like this chapter, I'm busy so the updates probably won't come as fast but they'll come!! =) Please R&R, p.s This is Alice's version of a wedding rehearsal…..and I had to hurry writing it, sorry for the cliffe!!!
Bella's point of view:
Alice was dragging me downstairs, I was trying to walk slowly so I wouldn't fall.
I was dressed in a long white sleeveless dress with pretty lace details on it.
My hair was curled in soft curls that framed my face, with just a bit of makeup.
Alice made me wear heels too, how did she expect me to be able to walk?
Even though I knew this wasn't my actual wedding, I was nervous.
We reached the bottom and Alice squealed, "This is going to be perfect!"
She gave me a hug and said, "Let's do this, Cullen style."
I laughed nervously, what did Cullen style mean?
We walked into the back yard and I was momentarily wrapped up in looking at all the decorations, the Cullen's backyard was completely different, it was beautiful, the white flowers all over the place were breathtaking.
Next I noticed that all the Cullen's were dressed in formal wear, Rosalie looking gorgeous in a long red backless dress.
Esme was wearing a light blue dress, and Alice was wearing a fancy black dress.
Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle were all wearing tuxedos.
But when I saw Edward standing by a canopy of flowers, looking at me.
I blushed and noticed his tux, he looked more amazing than usual.
I was about to walk over to him when Alice grabbed my arm and said, "Over here."
She dragged me across the lawn, far away from Edward.
For what seemed like forever, Alice showed me every detail they had put into the backyard, and how it compared to the actual wedding decorations.
She jumped up and down the whole time, I smiled, I was actually happy.
When Alice stopped talking, I asked, "Can I see Edward now?"
That was what I really wanted to do, Alice laughed and said, "Soon, I promise, but there is something you have to do first."
Rosalie snickered from where she was talking to Emmett.
I was worried now, "What?" I asked.
Alice screamed, "You have to dance with each of us, then you have we'll all make a speech!"
I looked at Alice puzzled, and asked, "Why?"
Everyone started laughing as Alice responded, "This is a Cullen tradition, your officially going to be one of us soon."
I was surprised but then again, when didn't the Cullens surprise me.
"What kind of speech?" I asked, I was sort of afraid now.
Alice smiled and said, "We all will tell you about being a Cullen, why we want you to become one of us and stuff like that."
That sounded like something they made up for me.
"And this is a tradition….." I said trailing off at the end.
"Yes, but we did sort of change it for you." Alice said.
"I want to dance with her first!" Emmett yelled.
I laughed but then again, what would dancing with Emmett be like?
Emmett turned his head to the area where Edward was and said, "I won't hurt her, Edward. Stop being such a party pooper."
Obviously he was responding to something Edward said, my human ears didn't pick up.
The next thing I knew, I was in Emmett's arms, dancing around the yard.
He was going around pretty fast, but he had his arms around me so I wouldn't get hurt.
After a few seconds, I started feeling nauseous and Alice said, "Emmett stop, you need to make your speech and I don't think you want to keep going."
He laughed and said to me, "When you're a vampire, we are dancing my way."
I chuckled, even though that sounded dangerous.
Emmett started his speech laughing, "I can't wait for Bella to be an official Cullen, and I know we'll have some fun times once she's changed but I'll miss her blushing, and falling over every two minutes. Just F.Y.I Bella, there's no secrets when you're a Cullen."
I danced with Jasper and Carlisle, they danced slowly and their speech's were pretty much the same, they told me they were glad Edward found me and how they already consider me a Cullen.
Next I danced with Esme, she danced amazingly and I felt uncoordinated dancing with her, her speech was so sweet, it made me feel more like a part of this family.
Alice danced with me effortlessly, Alice dances like a professional. Her speech didn't surprise me, she talked about us going shopping and how I'm already like her sister.
When I danced with Rosalie, we barely moved and it was awkward.
Her speech was forced, I knew she didn't mean what she said.
When they were finished, I heard a familiar voice say, "Can I have my turn?"
I turned to see Edward walking towards me.
Alice smiled and said, "Yes, Edward it's your turn."
He came over and picked me up and just like at our prom put his feet under mine.
We danced for a minute and I was so happy, dancing with Edward was the best part of my day.
Even though I hated dancing, I loved dancing with Edward.
"You look unbelievably gorgeous today. I can't wait for our real wedding." Edward said in my ear.
I blushed, said, "Me either." and he tightened his arms around me.
After Alice made us stop dancing and said cheerfully, "Edward make your speech."
Edward smiled my favorite smile and turned to me……
