Here's the second chapter! Please review- I know at least one person is reading.

I was nervous as I approached the door to the backyard. A million things could go wrong. I could trip. Someone could say "I protest!' instead of forever holding their peace. Or, by far the worst, the pack could come. I'd learned that Vampires plus Werewolves equals Not good, unless the vampires were trying to suck my blood, of course. Or the two were united against a common enemy like a ravenous army of newborns.
Alice slipped over to me, looking perfect in her light blue Maid of Honor dress. "Don't worry, the future hasn't suddenly disappeared. The pack shouldn't be coming. And, you're not going to trip."
I felt some relief, but there were still butterflies flapping in my stomach until I eased upon the door and stepped out into the backyard, into the view of everyone.
I don't remember many details of the wedding. I saw the overall layout, but all my focus was on Edward.
He was wearing a light cream-colored tux. His eyes were a bright gold, as he'd gone hunting last night. But the brightest thing on his face was his smile- it could have lit up the bottom of the sea. As soon as I saw him, I knew I'd done the right thing by agreeing to marry him.
Charlie stepped next to me, linking his arm with mine. "Bella, honey, you're beautiful," he whispered. "I love you, and you and Edward are going to have a great life together.
I felt tears pricking my eyes, matching the ones in Charlie's eyes. "Thanks Dad. I love you too."
We reached the end of the aisle, and Charlie lifted my veil, kissed me on the cheek, and then went to sit down near Renee.
Emmett grinned at me. "Don't worry," he whispered, "I got my license from the best free online place around." I stifled a giggle.
He intoned the on virtues if marriage and true love, how everyone found it, no matter how long it took (he winked at Edward here), but few found it as deeply as Edward and I had. I agreed with Emmett- most likely, no one had gone through what we had to be standing here, ready to be married.
Emmett finally started the true vows. "Edward Anthony Cullen, do you agree to love Isabella through whatever life gives you, and cherish her forever?"
Edward replied without hesitation, eyes shining. "I do." Confusion then extended over his face as he looked around for the rings. "Um…where are they?"
Emmett looked at Alice, who looked at Rosalie, who looked back at Emmett, who mouthed 'Where?' Edward must have heard Alice and Rosalie's thought, because he pointed at a pocket on Emmett's robe. Emmett mimicked slapping himself on the head, then fished out two perfect gold bands, glittering with inset diamonds. He handed the smaller ring to Edward, who slipped it onto my finger.
Emmett turned to me. "Isabella Marie Swann, do you agree to love Edward through whatever life gives you, and cherish him forever?"
My heart pounded. "Yes. I mean, I do." The guests laughed, and I blushed. Emmett handed me the second ring, and I slipped it onto Edward's cool finger.
Emmett faced the crowd. "By the power vested in me by Free Marriage Made Easy, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride!"
