I can't believe it; this is the last chapter for this story :( I just wanted to thank each and every one of you supported me and continued to read and review my story. You really have no idea how much I appreciate it!

Epilogue

BPOV

It seemed like years rather than only months that I had fallen in love with Edward Cullen. Each moment with him brought me more joy, and more happiness than I ever thought possible. As I walked toward him down the short aisle I couldn't help but smile.

Carlisle graciously agreed to be the one to walk me down the aisle. Though it hurt me deeply not to have my real father there, I was grateful that Carlisle had agreed to give me away. My long white dress flowed around me as I locked eyes with Edward.

Charlie no longer presumed that I was dead. I had sent him a letter when arrived home from Italy. I told him that I was alive and happy. I also advised him not to look for me. I did not know if I would ever be able to see my father or mother again, but if it meant that they were safe I would gladly stay away. Lastly, I told him to take care of Renée and to let her know that I was alight. I hoped that they would take care of each other.

The meadow where our wedding was taking place could not have been more perfect. Thousands upon thousands of wild flowers perfumed the ground and the trees' that surrounded the perfect circle. It felt as if were in a dream. Everything seemed perfect.

I had to admit, I had been extremely apprehensive about agreeing to Edward's proposal, but as Carlisle placed my hand in Edward's, a tradition older than time itself, I realized that my doubts were nothing less of ridiculous. There was no one I could ever love more than my Edward. He was everything I wanted and needed, and I had a feeling that that would never change.

Jacob Black stood beside my fiancée acting as the best man. Edward thought this was only appropriate seeing as he had saved our lives during that fateful day in Italy. Behind Jacob stood my new brother Jasper, and across from Edward and I stood Emmett who had insisted upon becoming initiated so that he could marry us. I had chosen Rosalie and Alice to be my bridesmaid since the two of them had practically planned the entire wedding themselves.

The sun had just set behind the clouds, twilight was now upon us. Brilliant shades of violet and crimson lit up every surface of the meadow. Candlelight flickered in the wind as Edward and I began to recite our vows.

"Isabella Marie Swan," Emmett said in his booming voice. "Do you take Edward Anthony Masen Cullen to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, for richer and for richer, in health and in health, as long as you both shall live?" It took every ounce of control Emmett had not to laugh at this. None the less Edward rolled his eyes at his brother's newfound translation of our wedding vows.

"I do," I said looking directly into Edward's eyes. I then placed the ring upon Edward's finger, a symbol of my everlasting vow. Edward squeezed my hand and looked into my eyes meaningfully. 'I love you', he mouthed. 'I love you too,' I mouthed in return.

Once Edward finished saying his vows, he placed the antique diamond ring upon my finger. It had belonged to his great grandmother. It was about two centuries old. She had given it to Edward upon her deathbed and made him vow that he would only give it to the woman that he had intended to spend the rest of his life with.

"And now with the power invested in me by the State of Washington, and by , I now pronounce you husband and wife. Edward you may now kiss the bride." I leaned into Edward just as he leaned into me. Our lips met and suddenly everything disappeared. All that mattered, all that existed, was Edward and me. My new husband lifted me off the ground and twirled me around and around as our family continued to clap in the background.

Edward broke the kiss and placed his forehead against mine. We were both panting, fighting for the breath that neither of us needed. He then kissed me one last time before grabbing my hand and pulling me back down the aisle.

As we walked, I looked over my shoulder to see my beautiful family following shortly behind us, Carlisle with Esme, Emmett with Rosalie, Jasper with Alice, and Jacob with Carle, the girl he had met at the Seaport Airport when we arrived back in Seattle. He imprinted on her immediately after he saw her. I couldn't have been happier for my new best friend.

After the wedding, Edward and I planned to return to Italy with our family. We were assisting the Denali Clan in running the Volturi for the time being. Carlisle had appointed Tanya and her sisters to be the main members of the royal family. His goal was that every vampire would become a vegetarian. If anyone could do that I knew it would be Carlisle.

Edward and I continued to walk down the aisle into the twilight, only this time it wasn't a premonition of an ending, it was just a glimpse of the beginning.

THE END

Okay, so I know it's short, but that's how I wanted it to be. Short and sweet :) I am going to take about a week or two off before I begin writing The Prom Date again. I may make some changes in the story, so it may be a good idea to reread the story after I've posted it again. Thank you again for all of your support. Pictures of Bella's dress and ring are on my profile.
