Stephenie Meyer owns all things Twilight!


APOV:

I couldn't believe the day had finally come. I was to be Mrs. Jasper Whitlock in a few short hours. That is, if I can keep my lunch down. I had been steadily throwing up for the past hour. Bella rubbed my back as I leaned over the porcelain bowl that I'd been hugging.

"Are you okay, Alice?" Bella asked concerned. She was such an amazing friend although I knew I'd do the same for her. I shook my head in response.

"I'm fine, Bells. I think it's just a case of the nerves," I lied. I had no qualms about marrying Jasper at all. I knew we were meant to be the first moment I saw him. This was something else. Bella, looking very tired, smiled and left the bathroom to give me some privacy.

I stood and immediately brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth out. Then I removed the robe I had been wearing to protect my dress. My perfect dress thanks to Bella. That girl knew how to sew. I smoothed the skirt of my dress out before I was suddenly hit by a wave of excitement. I was getting married today! I knew that didn't mean much for some people but it meant everything to me. I was in this for the long-haul and so was Jasper.

"Alice!" Rose boomed. I think Emmett was starting to rub off on her. "You're already ten minutes late. Do you really want Jasper freaking out?" My eyes went wide. I had been ready hours ago. How the heck was I late?

I hurried out of the bathroom.

"Let's go ladies! I've got a man waiting for me!" Rose and Bella squealed in unison and ushered me out of the room. We went up a set of stairs where we were met with double doors. My heart began beating so fast I thought it would explode out of my chest.

"Calm down," Bella whispered from her spot in front of me. She handed me my bouquet and I grasped it with shaking hands. I took a deep breath but that did no good. The only thing that could calm me down when I was this excited was behind those doors.

My breath caught as I heard music begin playing. This was it. Rose and Bella looked back at me and gave me a thumbs-up right before the doors were opened for them.

I stayed hidden from the view of the doors and waited holding my breath. I prayed a silent prayer that no one tripped and no flower girls cried as it seemed to happen at every other wedding. Finally I heard it, the bridal chorus, the tune that began the rest of my life. As the doors opened all of my nerves disappeared. I knew, in that moment, that this was how it was supposed to be.

The doors opened fully and I looked up and saw the rest of my life standing at the front of the alter. Jasper had his eyes fixed on me as I began walking towards him. I could feel the tears starting already and things hadn't even really begun yet. Thank goodness for waterproof makeup, I thought fleetingly before my complete attention was brought back to Jasper.

I reached the front of the church and placed my hand in Jasper's. Yes, it was unconventional not to have anyone give you away but I honestly couldn't decide who would do it.

The rest of the ceremony was a blur of tears and a few moments of laughter especially when Jasper dropped the ring because his hands were shaking so badly.

One moment that will always stand out in my memory is when the preacher smiled greatly and said loudly, "I now pronounce you man and wife. Jasper you may now kiss the bride!" Jasper smiled at me before he surprised me by dipping me down and planting a big kiss on my lips.

Yes, this was exactly how things should be.

I know it was short but this isn't really a chapter. I just thought you guys would be mad if this was just an authors note about where I've been. I just wanted you guys to know that I'm still alive! My computer got a virus and died :( but I bought a laptop so my writing now continues!

Sorry it took so long but I had a legitimate excuse! I'm working on the next chapter now and it should be up soon! :)
