"Enough for forever."

– Twilight

It seemed pointless to have a "real" wedding; Alice and Rose were my bridesmaids, Emmet was the ring bearer (or as he emphasized it, "Ring Bearer"), Jasper was Edward's best man and Carlisle was residing over the union (Who knew that Carlisle had, in fact, received certification to marry people?!). Esme, along with those from Denali, were sitting on a couple of chairs that had been set up for them.

It was taking place in the backyard at the Cullen's house.

A small affair, definitely.

In an odd way, though, it was perfect.

I walked down the "aisle" by myself, my head held high. I hadn't needed a man to walk me down the aisle. I knew that I could do it myself; I could give myself to Edward, his for all of eternity. I saw his eyes flash with a smile as he saw me in my dress; Esme, Rose and Alice had down a wonderful job at keeping their minds hidden when it came to the dress that I was wearing.

Edward was wearing a black tuxedo. It looked brilliant on him, of course. There was a red rose on his lapel. I think that Alice probably suggested it. It matched the red on my dress perfectly. He was wearing my favorite, crooked smile, too.

As I got to where he and Carlisle were standing, waiting for me, he reached out his hand to take mine. With his other hand, he lifted up the veil that concealed my face behind it. I smiled shyly at Edward before we both turned to face Carlisle, our father.

I couldn't get the smile off of my face. I had waited my whole eternity for this. I could tell that Edward was smiling, too. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Alice and Rosalie were grinning like mad. I could only guess at the expression on Esme's face; I assumed that she was probably dry sobbing or something. Jasper, too, was smiling and I felt so happy; while the majority of that was rightfully my own emotion, I was sure that he had something to do with some of it, too.

Carlisle's words went by pretty quickly. I hardly knew it, but soon, Emmett was brining up the rings. He handed one to Edward rather quickly. He took a moment to hand me mine. The smile on his face was so bright. He quickly left the "alter" area where we were standing and sat down next to Esme - who was, in fact, dry sobbing.

Edward murmured a couple of words, mimicking whatever Carlisle was saying, and slipped the ring onto my finger. I glanced down at the ring for a second. I was moved at the sheer beauty that the ring had. It was a silver band and did not have a big stone on the center of it; instead, built into the band, were alternating diamond-emerald stones. I found it a lot more attractive than a big stone and I loved it immensely.

Inscribed inside of Edward's ring were the words "Our love is forever". His ring, too, was a silver band. It was one of the most simple bands I had seen - nothing to say that it was a wedding ring except for the words inside of it. I knew that Edward would like it, though, because..., well, he would. I hadn't wanted to get him anything extravagant out of fear that he wouldn't like it. I saw him, too, glance at the ring and he gave me a beautiful smile.

We exchanged our vows, kisses, and soon it was time for the "Par-tay!" as Emmet exclaimed. I wasn't sure how a party like this would go, but I had a feeling that the Cullen's had done it several times before (at least! Rose and Emmett had married each other how many times?!).

"Bella, you're so beautiful," Esme chocked out. She was so happy for Edward and I that she had spent most of the ceremony sobbing in silence. Esme reached out to touch my arm gently, and then she pulled me into a motherly hug. I loved her so.

"Thank you, Esme. You look beautiful too," I murmured back, appreciatively.

She took a step back from me, touching my cheek gently. Her gaze stayed on me for a moment before she turned back to Carlisle, who was talking to Edward. Before I could hear what Carlisle was saying to his youngest son, Rose and Emmett bounded forward.

Okay - Rose glided and Emmett bounded. I grinned. I hugged Rose and Emmett both.

"You did a nice job, Emmett, at being the ring bearer," I congratulated him. I was honestly pleased that he hadn't screwed up or anything. I knew that job was almost impossible to screw up, but lets face it! We were dealing with Emmett after all! I admit that I had my doubts when Edward told me what Emmett was going to be doing in our wedding.

"Thanks, Bella. You know that I never pass up the opportunity to be a bearer of any kind!"

I groaned at his pun.

Only him.

"We've got you and Edward a gift," Rose announced happily. My eyes narrowed and I crossed my arms across my chest – I had said that we wanted "no gifts" from anyone. "Oh, come on, Bella. We wanted to. We've been waiting forever for Edward to get married, and we're happy that it finally has happened!"

"Edward, bro! Come here!" Emmett called. He needn't have yelled, but he did anyway. Some days..., I wondered how old Emmett really was. Today, I was leaning towards "two".

Edward nodded one last thing to Carlisle and joined us. His arm wrapped itself around my waist and he pulled me close. "What's up?"

Instead of telling him, Rose something to him. Edward caught the keys – I heard the all knowing jingle – and grinned wildly. I couldn't see what they were keys to..., but knowing Rose, I shouldn't have wondered.

"Sweet– the new Aston Martin?" Edward wondered out loud.

"The very best for my baby brother... and sister. It's got a V-12 engine..." Rose's voice droned on about the car that Edward was salivating over. I heard her finish with a smug, "It's not even out to the public yet."

Alice and Jasper were the next to join us. They, thankfully, hadn't gotten a present for us. Just a hug and a kiss from each of them. They were so happy for us; though, Jasper warned Edward, that he wouldn't put up with all this 'love, love, love' emotion for too long. It was too nauseating – I think that was the word he used. I laughed, though. I loved Jasper.

Tanya and her Denali coven came to wish us the best, too. They were very pleasant people. I had met them several times before when I had been passing through their coven. They had always been careful not to mention the Cullen family around me – and I suppose that they had been very careful not to mention me around the Cullen family.

Later that night, when we were alone, Edward slipped off my ring and held it up to me. In the dim light, I could see what was inscribed on the inside. I pulled him into a tight hug as I read the word and realized how true it was. I loved this man.

Eternity.
