Chapter 2: Big Day
"Nessieeee time to get readyyyyyy," I called up the stairs.
"5 more minutes," she replied tiredly.
"RENESMEE CARLIE CULLEN! GET DOWN THESE STAIRS THIS INSTANT!" I yelled.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming!"
Finally, about 20 minutes later, Nessie came down the stairs. Bella, Rosalie, and I took Nessie and her bridesmaids, Claire, Emily, and Kim, to get their nails done. Carlisle, Edward, Jasper, Emmett, and Jacob were under Esme's supervision setting up the house. When we returned, the house was complete chaos. I felt absolutely awful that we had left Esme here alone with the boys. I should've known nothing would get done.
Rose was the best at doing hair. She had done Bella's for her wedding and it came out absolutely gorgeous. So, before going out back to help Esme, I helped Rose get all the girls upstairs and into my bathroom so that they could get their hair done.
"Alice!" Esme pleaded.
"Coming, Esme," I called back as I was already rushing down the stairs.
"Edward, you and Carlisle go accept the flower delivery in the front yard. Emmett and Jasper, I need you to go inside and promise me that you'll listen to every word your sister says. We don't have much time left because our guests start arriving," I heard Esme explain.
"Okay, Emmett I need you to help Jasper grab all of the chairs from the attic and set them up just like we did for Bella's wedding. Then go grab an armful of flowers from Carlisle and Edward and just put them up in places where there aren't any yet. And please, please, please get it right this time!" I begged.
With that, I ran upstairs to help Nessie get dressed. Bella and I took the beautiful dress out of the closet and helped her into it. She could already hear Jacob downstairs and that wasn't really helping the calm atmosphere Jasper was trying to manipulate around her. Finally, it was show time. The guests arrived and began to take their seats. I ran downstairs and took my seat just in time. Claire had already begun processing in, while Rose played the piano.
Everyone rose, and Nessie floated down the stairs on Edward's arm with grace that would break any ballerina's heart. She looked so gorgeous it made Rosalie look normal in comparison. When they got to the altar, Edward placed her hand into Jacob's, as was the tradition. The priest read the vows and Jacob and Nessie repeated after him.
"I, Jacob Billy Black, take you, Renesmee Carlie Cullen, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, for as long as we both shall live."
"I, Renesmee Carlie Cullen, take you, Jacob Billy Black, for my lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, for as long as we both shall live."
Then, the priest declared them husband and wife, and after a first kiss as a married couple, they led the procession out to the backyard for the reception. Everything flowed so perfectly; it was even more perfect than Bella and Edward's wedding! They cut the cake, Jacob tossed Nessie's garter to Paul, and Nessie threw her bouquet to Claire. Then they climbed into the limo and headed for Isle Esme.
Bella and Edward finally had their little cottage to themselves and apparently, Rose and Em weren't wasting any time tonight, either. I was surprised Esme hadn't kicked them out of the house again. But tonight, that didn't matter. I could sense that the feelings of love in the atmosphere were making Jazz want some alone time. And I couldn't deny that to my husband, now, could I?
