After two weeks of wedding planning, the big day was finally here. I sat on the bed, staring at the beautiful, lace, wedding dress hanging in Alice's closet. My head dropped in my hands, only in my black lace lingerie that I had gotten from my future sisters-in-law, Alice and Rosalie. I was feeling exposed, but I was alone in the room.
A knock on the door brought me back to reality. "Hold on!" I yelled through the door. I quickly threw on my robe and answered the door. There was my savior, my love, my reason for existence. Edward Anthony Mason Cullen.
"Hello love." He planted a soft, small kiss on my already warm lips. I sighed when he pulled away. "I'll see you out there." He gave me another kiss, and then left. I walked over and with new confidence, I put on my wedding dress. It had been fitted almost everyday, so of course it was perfect. When Alice and Rosalie knew I was dressed, they came in and set me down in a chair to attack my face. I do have to admit, though, I looked almost as beautiful as Rose afterward. They helped me get on my death trap shoes, and then Carlisle came in.
"It's time," he announced. I walked out was sad that my parents weren't there. I had called Renee and she had hung up before I'd had a chance to explain. Charlie still wasn't talking to me and I was going to have to walk down that aisle alone. Angela, my last bridesmaid, handed me my bouquet and the walked down the aisle with Ben. Then went Rose, and then Alice. Next thing I know,I am at the end of the aisle. I look up and see Edward, looking more beautiful and happy than ever before. His pale skin looked amazing with the black tux he wore. He smiled at me and I got lost in his golden, too golden, eyes. I only heard the part where Edward said his vows to me.
"Isabella Marie Swan, before i saw you that very first day at Forks High School, i didn't know what happiness was. My life was like a moonless night,but there were stars, points of light and reason." I smiled as i remembered when he said the same thing to me in my bedroom, only a few months ago. "Then, you shot across the sky like a meteor and everything was on fire. There was beauty. When you're gone, the meteor has fallen over the horizon, and everything is back the way it used to be, except my eyes are blinded and I can't see the stars anymore and there is no more reason for anything." A tear escaped my eye and he lifted his finger to wipe it away. "I love you and promise to love you until the day we die. I want to be with you forever and plan to. I will be loyal and do anything you ask, and stay by your side until you order me away. I love you Bella, and always will."
"Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, I have only known you for almost two years of my life and yet I feel like I have known you for much longer. It is like a friend once said to me. When you see that certain someone, you just know that they are the one for you, and you don't have a choice. That happened when I first saw you almost two years ago at Forks High School. I always thought I felt complete before I met you, but i wasn't, because I didn't know you existed. I don't care that you are the most beautiful person I have ever met, or the richest. I love you for you, and i always will. I love you Edward." I sighed and the priest continued with the ceremony.
"Do you, Edward Anthony Mason Cullen talke Isabella Marie Swan to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, in richer or in poorer, until death do you part?"
Edward smiled as he replied,"I do."
"And do you, Isabella Marie Swan, take Edward Anthony Mason Cullen to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, in righer or poorer, until death do you part?" I froze this was the moment i had thought about for months. This was the moment I chose to live my life with Edward forever.
"I --"
"Bella!" I heard a familiar husky voice yell my name and I turned to see Jacob Black running up the aisle, tears glistening in his eyes. "Bella, don't do this! Please, I'm begging you. Come away with me. I can protect just as much as he can, and I can do so much that he can't. I won't take your life away. Just please!"
I stared at him in shock. I had told him a dozen times that I wanted to do this. "Jake . . . go home, or stay, I don't care, just be quiet. I love you, you know and I know I do, but I want to spend the rest of my life with Edward, not you. I'm sorry." He looked at me pleadingly. "Jake, I'm sorry I've caused you so much pain. I used you and then threw you away like a tissue, and I apologize. But that doesn't mean I'm going to leave Edward and run away with you, so don't look at me like that."
He darted out of the church and I said, "I do." Edward was still looking at me in concern. I shook my head and the priest, still looking surprised, announced, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Edward hesitated and I muttered, "Kiss me Edward."
I stared at him and he shook his head. My eyes widened. "I am not going to make you do this Bella. I'm sorry." And then he left the alter, and me. I fell on my knees as I stare after him. He was the one who wanted to do this and then he leaves me!
Tears formed in my eyes and then fell down my face. I ran into my dressing room and went into hysterics over my ex-fiance.
