Ch. 18: Their Wedding.
Alice tightened my dress until it was as tight as it could go. In a mere hour I would be walking down the aisle to marry Edward.
Melanie was doing her best to not burst out crying. I could hear, Chuck's internal monologue about having to give his daughter too soon.
Rose and Esme were getting dressed, and Carlisle along with Emmett, Jasper, and Chuck were giving Edward advice on married life.
The guests were all downstairs seated. Demetri was making sure everything was in order. Jasper and Alice couldn't bear killing him, especially when he was begging them to because he had nothing to live for. So after much discussion they had decided that he would come to live with us. The Volturi didn't come looking for him; he had apparently been gone in his quest for a vendetta for half a year and they hadn't come to find him. Plus since he was their sole tracker they couldn't find him, they had relied on him for tracking never thinking that he was the one who had to eventually be tracked.
Unfortunately a guest not in attendance was Charlie. He had passed away earlier that month, much to my dismay. I had grown rather fond of him, at his will reading Suzy was appalled to me getting all his estate. Although I was kind to her I gave her the house, and his cars, seeing as I would have no use for them.
"So Alice any chance that you will be able to tell me where Edward is taking me for our honeymoon?" I asked her trying to catch off guard for the umpteenth time.
"I told you already, he's either taking you to Mount Olympus, or Atlantis." She said smugly. I just glared at her. Everyone had been good at keeping it a secret from me, even Demetri who was still getting used to being around minder readers. A part of me thought that nobody told him, but then he had been saying, in the days leading up to the wedding, cryptic little remarks about how I was going to enjoy my honeymoon, and to not get too exhausted.
"Right okay, you won't tell me I guess." I told her hoping she would let something slip and think about the location. No luck.
"What matters sweetie, is that you'll be alone with Edward for months on end." Melanie told me trying to not cringe at the thought. No matter what type of parent, it'll always make them cringe to think of their children having sex.
"You're right, just me and Edward alone." I smiled at the thought. It was becoming increasingly annoying to try and be intimate, while having to see through everyone else's minds their intimate moments, especially your parents. It was a major buzz kill.
Rose and Esme came into the room looking spectacular. Esme kissed me on the cheek then made her way downstairs, to take her seat in the front row. Melanie did the same yet she kissed both my cheeks. The she pressed something into my hand before she left to go take her place in line, she always wanted to be a flower girl and she begged me to make her mine. I couldn't really say no, and I didn't want to say no.
It was two silver combs, with sapphires in it.
"For you" She thought.
"Thank you." I told her.
Rose, who had worked on my hair, took the combs and placed in my hair.
"Now for the part you don't want your mom to see." Alice said, as if it was a big secret what Edward and I were going to do tonight.
"It was mine," Rose said dangling the garter in front of my face.
"Use it well" Alice added as she dipped under my skirt, and yanked the tiny piece of fabric in place.
They both laughed, at my unimpressed expression and made their way outside to take their places in line as my bridesmaid's.
Chuck came in and handed me my bouquet and said "Well it was only a matter of time before you two ended up together."
"I think we were together when I was three." I joked. He just smiled.
We made our way out. I could read everyone's thoughts from Mike's "I should objected." To Mrs. Greene's "I wonder what the bride is wearing." But there was only one person's thoughts that I wanted to hear. That was Edward's.
The procession began and soon it was my turn to walk, He was thinking about how beautiful I was.
Once we Chuck placed my hand in Edward's, and the music stopped the minister began.
We had are own conversation throughout with our thoughts, mainly consisting of sweet nothings. We said our vows, and our 'I dos'. And finally the minister said. "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."
And so he did. Pulling me close to him he kissed me like it would be the last time we kissed, at the same time he kissed me like it was the first time, and I kissed him back with the same intensity. I was just thankful that I didn't have to breathe, or else I would be passed out from lack of breath.
The crowd erupted in applause. There were pictures and dancing, reluctant cake eating, more dancing. I threw my bouquet right into Alice's hands. Edward flung the garter into Emmett's face; his expression was priceless when he realized it was the same garter he once flung at Edward. We danced more until it was almost three in the morning; all the humans in the crowd were dead on their feet. And the DJ was trying to tell Alice, or any of the family for that matter, that his time was up four hours ago and that he charges extra for overtime.
By the time the last human left all the vampires in the crowd, bid us fair well.
"Come on Bells." Melanie said pulling me away from Edward. "You have to get changed, I would hate for you to have to wear your dress on the plane."
I was reluctant to let go of Edward, as we were currently making out. Alice, Rose, and Esme all had pry me away from him.
They were quick about getting me changed. And soon I was with Edward again, ready to leave on, what they finally let slip was, a trip to Isle Esme, an island that Carlisle had bought for Esme, yet they were letting us borrow it as a wedding gift. And since the party guests were long gone, they took it upon themselves to each throw as much rice as they could at us.
We got in Edward's Volvo; it had about a dozen designer new shoes attached to the back, and took off for the airport.
"I love you, Edward." I told him.
"I love you too, Bella." He said back.
As he was driving, I picked up the locket I wore and opened it to see and picture of just me and him when I was a baby. I couldn't help but think maybe this was one future that couldn't have been altered, that we were always meant to be.
I glanced sideways to see his reaction, he was just smiling; his thoughts told me that he agreed.
