Chapter 8-Bells

I stood at the large white double doors waiting for my queue. Air passed through my lungs un short, ragged breaths. Piece of cake, I kept saying to myself.

Alice had claimed her bad mood to be because Billy was attending the wedding. Through he was not a world, he still had wolf blood in him and so she couldn't see anything that was going to happen.

Between the loud thoughts raging through my head and my hyperventilating, I almost missed the start of the wedding march. The doors opened and I saw the small room filled with loved ones. They all stood and looked at me as I took a step forward. Charlie stepped forward and held out his arm.

I wrapped mine around his and he lead me through the people. I caught Renee's eyes and smiled. She smiled back, and I realized just how pretty she looked. She was wearing a light blue dress with spaghetti straps. Her brown hair was falling in soft waves over her shoulders.

I saw Billy sitting in his wheel chair, he didn't really look all that happy to be there. Carlisle told me that they had already spoken, but he didn't tell me the details of it.

Charlie stopped right in front of Edward. I noticed a silent communication pass between the two and Edward smiled as he took my hand.

The minister started talking, leading the guests through a short prayer.

Ironic, I thought. A minister is going to marry a human to a vampire, in a church, neither of which really show any form of religion. What sort of bribing did Edward have to do to get this?

I didn't really listen to what was being said and only repeated what the minister told me to.

"You may now kiss the bride." The moment I was waiting for. Edward leaned in to kiss me and I lost control.

I threw the bouquet behind me and heard Alice squeal as she caught it. I wrapped my arms around his neck, grabbing hold of his hair and pushed myself against him. He laughed as he pulled my hands away gently. "I don't think you want to do that here." He whispered in my ear.

I looked around to see everyone staring at me, wide-eyed, except for Alice, Jasper, and Emmett, who were just laughing.

I blushed a deep scarlet color. Oh. My. God!

"Eh-hem." The minister called everyone to attention. "I now give you Mr. and Mrs. Edward Anthony Masen Cullen." Everyone clapped as Edward lead me back out the door.

We walked out into the lobby and Edward grabbed an umbrella. "It's raining." He smiled. "I don't want it to ruin that beautiful dress. You know, it looks a lot like the one my mother wore to her wedding."

I looked at him and I could see the pain in his eyes. He smiled a tight smile and handed me the umbrella.

"Wait here." He said, kissing my forehead as he darted out into the rain.

While he was gone, Charlie, Renee and Phil came out to see me.

"Going to get the car?" Charlie guessed.

"Yeah." I replied, still a little uncomfortable about losing control before.

"So, I guess I will see you at the Cullen's?"

"Yeah." I said again, remembering Alive had a party planned in honor of Edward and I.

A silver Volvo pulled up in front of the church and Edward jogged at a human pace to my side. He looked even more like a Greek God with his auburn hair damn and glistening with rain drops.

I could tell my mom thought so too because Edward smiled at her and she blushed.

I heard him chuckle at her thoughts, but it was so low, I was sure no one else heard it.

"Mom, you'll be at the party, right?"

"Of course," she smiled, turning toward Charlie. "We'll have to follow you there."

Renee gave me a hug and promised to see me later when Edward told her that Alice was expecting us back at the house-my new home.

Edward picked my up and I let out a little squeal. I caught Charlie glaring at us as Edward carried me through the rain to his car.

I could hear the church bells chiming as we sped away, husband and wife.
