Chapter 3
It was a beautiful October day. The sun was setting over the ocean and it was their time of day: twilight. It was a joke with to them that they had chosen this day to get married: Halloween. Vampires had to get married on Halloween. The whole Cullen family was there standing barefoot in the sand. The Denali coven was in attendance as well. In fact Eleazar had gotten a degree so he could marry Edward and Bella. And what a beautiful wedding it was. It was simple and elegant, just the way Bella and Edward had wanted. It was all about the two of them vowing their love for one another and in front of their family so that they all knew how they wanted to spend all of eternity with one another.
They had chosen this particular spot because of its remoteness and beauty. It was owned by Esme, given to her by Carlisle and when she told Bella about it, she knew that was where she wanted to marry Edward. And he agreed. It was the perfect backdrop for their special event. They had all dressed in gauzy white outfits. The temperature did not affect them; it was more about how they looked. It had all been part of Alice's grand design. And it went off perfectly and everyone enjoyed themselves. They danced afterwards and took lots of pictures with the couple alone and with the family. But as the early evening turned into night, the others left to go back to the mainland and left the newlyweds the splendor of the island to enjoy. After they waved goodbye to them, Edward picked Bella up and carried her back in the house. Hour after hour and day after day, they made love in the moonlight, in the sun, on the sand and in the surf. They made the most of each and every second, never tiring, never fearing that they would ever stop loving one another. After being together, they realized that they loved each other more and more each day. And that fact would never change. It was something that they would never have to think about.
