Chapter 11: The wedding
Bpov
It had been three months since Edward engaged to me and the wedding was coming up in just a few days time. Today Alice, Rosalie, Esme and I were going to make sure everything for the wedding was going to be perfect. The cake, flowers, my wedding dress that was designed by Alice , and a few other things. I had no idea where Edward was taking me for the honey moon but all I knew was that I needed to pack things that you could wear in hot conditions. So that was another thing on our agenda today, shopping for honey moon activities (smiles). We were off early that morning, I said goodbye to Edward and Victoria and James and told them to have fun with daddy for the day.
We drove off in the Volvo and drove to Seattle for the day; everything was going to be great. We went to the florist, and all the flower arrangements were ready and we sitting in the fridge so they could be delivered on time for the wedding on Saturday.. Then we arrived at the bakery, I knew everything was going to be perfect because this is where my parents got there cake for their wedding, and then Esme and Carlisle got their cake her and so did Mr. and Mrs. Hale. I walked up to the owner and asked him how everything for the wedding cake was going and he replied in a very gay 'just swimmingly'. I had to laugh at that one it was just too funny. The cake was fine and then it was finally alterations for my wedding dress.
I knew everything was going to be perfect because thats how Alice is. The gown was simple yet elegant, it was a floor length gown that was gathered at the top, bringing in little patterns. It was definatly my taste and Alice was going to be famous someday I just knew it. I tried on the dress, a perfect fit, and Alice made any alterations that we nescesary. The next thing I knew I was being wisked off my feet to the Seattle mall, and I knew what we were going to do there. After the fifteen minute drive to the mall Alice was dragging us all inside, but I was actually going willingly this time. I wanted to surprise Edward with my outfits. Victoria's Secert was the normal place we went and the people at the store knew Alice by name. They were more than willing to hand Alice lingerie that they thought would look good on me.
I went into the changing room trying on the first peice, it was a black and pink little outfit with stockings to go with it, Alice thought it was perfect and added it to the outfits we should buy. I went threw different peices and I finally came to the last, it was a little reveling for me but Alice said it was make Edward 'manly' I laughed at the words she used. It was a black and purple lacey braw and panty set with stockings. I knew it was perfect and I would use it directly as the honeymoon started. I laughed and Alice and purchased the items we would be buying, which was almost everything I tried on (apparently you can never have to much lingerie). After that we went home Alice said she had what I needed for the rest of the honey moon and she would be picking what I wore. So we started our journey home and I was so excited for the events that were happening in just three days time.
The day before the wedding: the rehersal
We started the day by getting everything perfect, we had to be at the church by 12:30 to start the rehersal, and then there was the dinner. For the rehersal dinner we had reservations at one of the fanciest resturantes in Port Angles, and it wasn't the usual La Bella Italia that we went to everytime we had dinner there. The resturante was called The Young Button, it wasn't the best name but the resturante had the best food and was the nicest one in Port Angles. I had dressed simpily for the rehersal and did the same with James and Victoria. I had to get Charlie out of the house, because he was focused on some football game, but we arrived two minutes before it turned 12:30. The reverand started the reheresal and did everything tradionaly, minus we didn't say our vows or anything and we didn't say I do.
We traveled to the resturante where we would be joined by some of our friends, and then we would go to our "bachlor" and "bacholleret" parties. I was going to have fun because it was going to be at my house so I my mom would let me drink. Alice said it was normal to have a hangover the day of the wedding, but I also pointed out that most brides weren't mothers. We were sitting down at the dinner eating when Alice tapped her glass getting ready to say something. "Ok, Bella has been my best friend sense we were 4 years old and I knew that her and my brother were going to be together someday. Edward and Bella are two of the most kind and caring people in the world and they are meant to be together, congradulations you two." Alice said. Next Emmett stood up, this should be good.
"Bells, I'm happy to finally have you as my almost sister an law. When we were little it was fun to pick on you and watch you everytime you tripped, but now your all grown up and more graceful, thank godness. Congrats you guys." Emmett said down and then quickly stood back up, "Oh, and bro don't let this one go she is gunna be gone quick if you do." and he sat back down. "Ok what I am going to say is simple, Bella you deserve this, and Edward if you do anything to hurt her I will gladly kick your ass." Rose smiled and everyone started laughing, Edward look nervous but I kissed him on the cheek so it was reasuring. Dinner was great and no-one could have asked for a better one.
I went to my party and Alice and Rose had set up a million different things, including games and videos embarrising me. They even had questions that I pulled out of the had and had to answer, it was funny. "Ok, Bella so pick a peice of paper and answer the question, no matter how embarrising." Alice told me, I picked the first paper and read the question. "Where was the first place you and Edward have had sex?" the question said when I read it along. "I will let you know when we first have sex on the honey moon." they just laughed the game countinued like that for a while and it was fun. When it came time for opening presents I knew they were going to be funny. I opened Angela's gift and it was some pretty skimmpy lengerie. Alice and Rosalie combined gifts and it was a pregancy test and then some tampons, such two wonderful gifts that went so well together, NOT! I opened my moms gift last and it was some bubble bath that she said I would enjoy if you know what i mean. The night went well and I knew everything was going to be perfect tomorrow.
