The Reception

BPOV

I headed back off to the office to finish up what I was doing so that I could get moving, as I had to meet Angela and Alice at Ariel's in 15 minutes. I emailed the publishing company back letting them know which books I was interested in. I grabbed my purse and phone and took off letting Kassie know that I would be back later and that I could be reached on my phone if she needed me.

I arrived just as Angela was sliding into a booth.

"Hey Ang." I said leaning down to give her a hug.

"Hey B, seems like we beat Alice here," but before I could even saying anything Alice floated in.

"Sorry I'm late, traffic was dreadful today."

"No problem Alice we both just got here."

"Okay so this is what we need to decide on today: the flowers, you and Edward need to pick a cake flavor, you're wearing your dress so that's done and the reception is at home so the place has been booked.

Now we narrowed it down to these two lilies pink or white, or the daisies. Which do you like better?" Alice asked

"I like the lilies and we could possible do a mix of both that would look pretty and I can wear a lily in my hair too."

"Ok done so cake flavors you and Edward need to go down to the bakery tomorrow and taste test, I've set up an appointment for 10 in the morning and don't worry I already checked with Edward to see if he is free and he is." Alice said as Angela and I just nodded.

"How are you doing your hair Bella?" Angela asked

"Well I'm having it curled and up with a gold band around my head with possibly the lily. Sue's is going to do my hair so we've been discussing ideas. She's going to do a test run on the Friday to see how long it would take."

The girls nodded. Alice flicked through a couple of magazines before stopping and sliding it over. "Like this?" she asked, I looked at the picture of Taylor Swift from what looked like one of her music videos and it was very similar to what I was thinking of.

"Yes like that." I said with a smile. I was looking forward to it, I wasn't one for being the center of attention but it was a small family affair and I couldn't wait to surprise them with what Edward and I had planned.

We sat there chatting about anything and everything; Angela and Alice had already found their dresses and I couldn't wait to see them, they both had impeccable taste.

Around six Angela and Alice headed off home to have dinner with their men, while I waited for Rosalie. At quarter past six she walked in as if she owned the place looking down slightly at the place. She sat down and I waited for her to say something.

Five minutes later nothing still had been said so I started, "Rosalie you wanted to talk so talk."

"I don't like you." she finally said

"No surprise there Rosalie, you made that clear the second I met you at the Cullen's house."

"I'm still not convinced that you really love Edward."

"Ok but I don't see why it's any of your business if you believe I do or not. Edward knows I love him and that's all I care about."

"How much?"

"Excuse me?"

"How much? How much would you take to leave Edward alone?"

"I can't believe you're actually asking me that."

"Sooner or later you'll leave Edward, once you've gotten what you want. I'm just trying to spare Edward the heartache."

"I don't have to listen to this, to you, I don't care anymore if you believe me or not. I don't need you to like me. I can be civil when I see you, but you and I are never going to be friends." I said before grabbing my stuff and heading out.

I was so furious that Rosalie would think that she could just pay me to leave Edward, who did she think she was? I slammed the door behind me as I entered our place.

"Whoa where's the fire?" Edward asked as he saw me, "Alice go too crazy?"

"No I think I would have preferred Alice's craziness."

"Baby what happened?" Edward asked as he pulled me into a hug.

"Rosalie."

"What did she do?"

"She asked me how much money I'd be willing to be paid to leave you."

Edward stood there mouth open shocked.

"I told her no amount of money would make me leave and then I just left her there."

"I can't believe she would say such a thing. Wait, its Rosalie it's something she would say but I don't get why."

"I don't either Edward but I'm over trying to be her friend or wanting her believe that I love you, you know I love you and that's all that matters as far as I'm concerned."

"I love you too my beautiful wifey."

The next morning Edward and I headed down to little creek bakery for our cake tasting and I couldn't wait. We walked in and met with Maddie the head baker who would be making our cake. She welcomed us as we walked in and took us over to the tasting table.

"Now Alice and I have been going over the design and she's told me that you're okay with the design right?" she asked.

"Yes we both love the design." I said as Edward nodded along, he honestly only cared about how the cake tasted, he couldn't care less what it looked like.

"Ok well first we are going to try the red velvet." Maddie said as she clicked her fingers and a plate with mini red velvet cupcakes were brought out.

"Mm," I moaned as I took a bite of the cupcake, "That is so good."

"Best one so far." Edward said making me laugh so hard.

"Okay now for the vanilla." she said as another plate was set in front of us, Edward and I both liked it, but so far red velvet was the winner.

"We also have chocolate." the plate was put down, chocolate was my favorite so far.

"We also have a white chocolate for you to try."

"Chocolate, chocolate it has to be chocolate." I said as I picked up another chocolate cupcake.

"Edward?" I asked

"Chocolate babe, red velvet was a close second but the chocolate was just amazing."

We went over the final design and thanked Maddie before heading back home for lunch as Edward had an afternoon shift.

~CTBTL ~

Time flew by and it was now the day before the reception, Edward and I were staying the night with Charlie and Sue as we would then be spending tomorrow night at the Cullen's.

We spent the night having fun, ordering pizza having beer and sitting down and just watching TV together as a family. Seth and Leah were there for a while before they left to hang out with their friends, as family night was just too lame for them.

We headed over to the Cullen's at ten in the morning and Alice was already on a warpath directing people around, caterers were sent to the kitchen, big muscle men were being sent outside with tables and tents. Flowers were going here there and everywhere that it looked as if Alice had everything under control.

"Alice do you need any help?" I asked when we managed to get her attention.

"Edward you can help Emmett and Dad outside making sure everything is going how it's meant to, they have a plan of how it looks." Edward nodded giving me a quick peck before heading outside.

"Bella you can head on upstairs, Angela is up there getting her hair and make-up done and you're next." Alice said before pushing me up the stairs.

"Hey Ang." I said as I entered Alice's room which had been transferred into the hair and make-up room.

"Bella, Hi." Angela replied as she looked up at me, her make up looked pretty natural but she still looked so beautiful, with her braided. Sue instructed me to sit down and got to work on my hair. We had done a test run the other night and found that it wouldn't take us as long as we thought it would to do my hair. Alice's make-up artist would be doing my make-up.

Half way through getting ready I received a text from Edward.

"Surprise is a go. I can't wait to see you. I love you."

I sent back a quick I love you as Alice walked in to start getting ready. Angela slipped on her black and silver strapless dress that I just loved along with her black Rock and Republic heels that I just love.

Alice came out of her wardrobe in her light peach also strapless dress that was just very Alice like with one of her many jimmy choo heels. I slipped on my dress and heels and got my make-up and hair retouched before we headed downstairs to join everyone else.

One by one the guests arrived, there were about sixty people coming, Alice stated that it was too small of a guest list whereas Edward and I thought it was the perfect amount and it meant that only the friends and family we really wanted to be there would be. We mingled for a while before guests were asked to head outside and take a seat.

I pulled Charlie aside before he could head outside. "Dad can I ask you something?"

"Sure sweetie, you can ask me whatever you like."

"Would you walk me down the aisle?"

"Little too late for that don't you think."

"I know which is why Edward and I planned a surprise wedding for today and I was hoping you could walk me?"

"I'd be honored too baby girl." Charlie said before leaning down and kissing my forehead.

I nodded at Edward who was talking to Emmett nearby and he smiled before making his way outside with Emmett. Once Edward and Emmett were in position and the music started playing.

I could see the confuse looks on the guest faces as they saw Edward standing with Emmett and Pastor Webber. Charlie and I made our way down the aisle a look of understanding crossed their faces.

"Today we are gathered here to celebrate the love between Edward and Bella, they love each other deeply, that much is obvious and to whoever thinks that they don't, you need to be around them more. Edward and Bella came to me over a week ago and asked if I could perform a little vow renewal ceremony as none of you were present at their Vegas wedding. Edward your vows." Pastor Webber said.

"Bella from the second I saw you I knew you were the one for me and I thank god each day that you are in my life, because without you I wouldn't know love and I wouldn't be the happy man I am today who just wants to spend the rest of his life with you. I love you Bella and I will love you to the day I die."

"Bella your vows." Pastor Webber said

"Edward I knew I was taking a huge risk in saying yes to marrying you that day but I don't for a second regret it. I love our life together just as much as I love you. Yes we've had our hard times but I have never loved you more than I do right now making this promise in front of our loved ones. I will love you till the day I die, though I hope I never have to live a day without you."

"Edward do you take Bella to be your wife for as long as you shall live?" Pastor Webber asked.

"I do."

"And do you Bella take Edward to be your husband for as long as you shall live?"

"I do."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride, again." Pastor Webber said making everyone laugh as Edward planted one on me.

"Ladies and Gentleman Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen"

We then moved to our table, which consisted of our parents, Alice and jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, Angela and Ben and Seth and Leah.

We sat down to a delicious meal consisting of grilled chicken quesadilla, Tomato Bruschetta, Ham and Provolone Crostini served with honey mustard and Turkey Melt Canapé as the entrée course. Main was a choice between herb-crusted chicken breast with fresh ratatouille sauce and filet mignon stuffed with mushrooms and bleu cheese, garlic mashed potatoes and green beans.

I heard a clinking of a glass and noticed Alice standing up with a glass in her hand.

"I'd like to make a toast to the happy couple. Bella I know things didn't start off well with us when I ran into you in Edward's apartment but you have easily become one of my best friends and I feel as if I really have known you all my life, you're like the sister I always wanted and I'm so glad you're in Edwards life because you've made him more bearable."

"It's true!" Emmett yelled out.

Everybody laughed included Edward.

"So let's all raise our glasses to the happy couple."

"To the happy couple." everyone said before taking a sip of their drink. Charlie stood up next and Edward and I braced ourselves for what he could possible say.

"My baby girl, I'm so happy that you've found someone that loves you just as much as you love them. Edward you make my baby happy but I'll let you know, you do anything as to hurt her I'll hurt you," Charlie said chuckling, "to the bride and groom."

"To the bride and groom."

Esme stood up next, "I'd just like to say on behalf of Carlisle and I, welcome to the family Bella you've now completed our family and we couldn't be any happier that you are with us."

Edward and I stood up before anyone else could make another speech. "We'd just like to thank you all for coming today, and we hoped you enjoyed our surprise. We felt bad that none of you were with us, but you are now and that's what matters. Bella and I thank you for making this day a dream come true."

"Yes thank you for making this one of the best days of my life." I said.

"Would Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen please make their way to the dance floor for their first dance." the DJ announced as the song he was playing came to an end. I was curious as to what song we'd be dancing to as Edward had wanted to keep it a surprise. We moved to the middle of the dance floor as soon as we stood still I heard the start of Michael Buble's Just Haven't Met You Yet.

We danced as everyone watched, as the song ended people stood up joining us on the dance floor, I danced with everyone from Charlie to Seth to Carlisle to Emmett to Jasper and even Ben. I even danced along with Alice and Angela.

Come eight at night people started to leave, only leaving the Cullen's and Charlie and Sue, Angela and Ben along with Seth, Leah and her boyfriend Jacob. Alice had instructed us that there was to be no cleaning as she had a cleaning crew that would be coming in the morning to take everything down and away.

We spent the rest of the night swapping stories, well Esme and Charlie were mostly swapping stories embarrassing ones about Edward and I. I think it might have been the first time I've ever seen Edward blush and blush he did. It was cute hearing the stories about baby Edward and what he was like in school Esme even wanted to bring out the photo albums but that's when Edward stood up claiming that we were really tired and that it was bedtime.

We said goodnight to everyone telling them we'd see them tomorrow at the lodge for family brunch.

~CTBTL~

Brunch was fun Esme even slipped me a few of Edward's baby photo's in an envelope when Edward wasn't looking as I'm sure he'd take them off me and burn them so I don't see them.

Alice spent the time planning Halloween and thanksgiving, it was decided that we'd all have thanksgiving together in forks and for Halloween since Edward wasn't working that we'd go out in Seattle. Alice said she had costume ideas and that we'd find out when it was time and honestly I was scared as to what she was planning.

We decided not to head back to Seattle that day and we had a day of family bonding, we spent the day watching movies and pigging out on popcorn and chocolate red vines. Charlie was working the night shift so we had an early dinner, which was homemade pizza; since everyone had such different taste we all ended up making our own pizzas. Emmett I think ended up eating 2 whole pizzas to himself.

After Charlie left for work Sue Leah and Seth decided to leave, and Edward and I went with them as I wanted to spend some time with Sue before we left tomorrow and Edward couldn't bear to spend the night without me so he tagged along too.

The next morning we had breakfast before heading to over the Cullen's to say bye before heading back to Seattle.

Well that was it I hoped you all enjoyed it and it wasn't horrible reviews are welcomed they are as good as chocolate you who knows maybe I'll even share my chocolate with you. Thank you to everyone who reads this and likes it next chapter update hopefully within a month no promises though.
