Chapter 5- Loving Anyone Else
Isabella swan stepped back and looked at herself in the mirror in Alice's room. Her brunette hair flowed in perfect waves down her back and her make-up was done to make her look like a delicate doll. All this wasn't what Bella was looking at though. She couldn't take her eyes off the large, designer, white dress. Her wedding dress. Never in a million years did Bella think she would be wearing this kind of dress, and certainly not at eighteen.
"You ready Bells?" In the reflection of the mirror Bella saw Charlie stick his head into the room. "No rush. There's still time to run if you want, I wouldn't blame you." He chuckled as he walked into the room. Bella turned to face him and laughed.
"I'm marrying Edward Char-Dad." Bella said firmly, though still smiling. "I just wish Alice would have held back a bit."
"Alice was just being...well Alice." Charlie said smiling. "But if you do plan to go through with this then we should get going. Alice is about to walk down the aisle."
"Okay, just give me a minute." Bella gave one last glance in the mirror before walking through the doorway with her father. Just as they reached the top of the stairs in the Cullen house the wedding march started playing.
"Well, let's do this." Bella said and then they proceeded to walk, carefully, down the staircase. Slowly, but surely, Bella made her way down the stairs and then the aisle. By the time she was standing in front of Edward she was absolutely amazed that she didn't trip down the aisle.
"Well done Love." Edward whispered in her ear as they stood in front of the minister. The ceremony began and Bella couldn't help but think it dragged on a bit. But still, she listened and said 'I Do' at the right time and exchanged the rings without a hitch. When it became time for the vows, Edward went first. Just the way he spoke made Bella's knees go weak, never mind what he was saying. All he needed to say was 'I Love You', but he took it so much further; making promises of eternity together and saying he will never willingly leave her side.
"My beautiful Bella," He began, looking into Bella's eyes. "You are my life, my whole reason for being. If it weren't for you I know I would be alone for the rest of my existence. A day without you is like the world is slowly coming to a close, but as soon as I see your shining face it's like the world was born over. For the rest my life, however long it is, I don't want to spend a single second without you. I love you Isabella Swan." When it became time for Bella's vows, she thought of her pre-written ones that were currently in Alice's hand, and decided they weren't good enough.
"Edward," Bella began, just talking off the top of her head. "I had written my vows, and was very proud of them, but then you had to go and be the perfect man that you are and put mine to shame. So that nothing written on that piece of paper could compare. I think all I really need to say right now is that I Love You with all my heart, and am incapable of loving anyone else on this planet in the same way."
A/N Well last night I was flipping through my notebook and noticed the title of this story on one of the pages, I was gonna start it like months ago but couldn't think of anything and just moved on. So I just kinda started writing it last night and I thought it was pretty good. Not very long but none of the chapters for this story really are. So review please!
