Hey, again I want to say that I know the real Twilight Saga events didn't happen this fast or close together. That's why the site is called fanFICTION. Also, I know that this many people don't usually make a toast at weddings but that's how I want it to be so that's how it is. Lol.
Edward and I took our seat at the head table. It went Edward,me, Renee, Charlie, Alice, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle, Rosalie, Emmett and than it was Edward again.
Alice stood up, "I, as the bridesmaid, would like to start off. Bella is a wonderful girl. I'm happy to have her be my sister-in-law. And I get to play Bella Barbie on her more often." I groaned and everyone chuckled or giggled at me. Hey, if they had to play Bella Barbie with Alice, they'd understand why I'm not happy about it.
Alice started talking again, "So, Bella you're wonderful, hope you had and continue to have a good wedding, love you!" and she sat down. Then, I watched in amazement as the Cullen's all took a sip of their drink.
"I'm next, as one of the three best men, even though I clearly should've been chosen as the best." Emmett started. He already had the guests laughing.
"Anyway, I want to say congrats to the bride and groom. So Congrats!" And that was the end of Emmett's speech. Which was okay because I didn't expect him to have a huge speech. Though it still made me blush. I had a feeling I won't stop blushing for the whole night. Sigh.
"Well, I didn't really prepare a speech so I'm just winging it here," Jasper said. I swear, the Cullen boys have a knack for making people laugh, "Congratulations to the lovely bride and the dashing groom" Jasper chuckled to himself, "May the live happily together forever." He finished.
It was Esme's turn, "Edward and Bella are two wonderful people. They outshine their common goals and never stop trying. Bella is a calm, loving soul as is Edward. Though Edward seems to get a tad bit frustrated from time to time," Cue audience chuckle. Edward has his head hung down but I could still see the smile that graced his lips, "But Bella's always there to calm him down. Bella is a danger magnet as my family as taken to calling her," I think they plotted on trying to see how much they can make me blush tonight, "But Edward's always there to protect her. They're the perfect match and I'm glad to have them as part of my family." Esme finished and took another drink of her wine without so much of a nasty look on her face. I don't know how they do it.
Carlisle stood up to start his speech that was surely going to make my face red as a strawberry again,
"Esme and I were nervous when Edward first brought Bella home to meet us. We weren't sure how'd she be or if she'd even like us. We were actually probably worrying about the same things Bella was worrying about us. But, as I told Bella early, I knew from the second I met her that she would bring joy into our lives. Bella is a caring, loving, compassionate, selfless soul. She's always putting others before herself as long as it make them happy. She is wise beyond her age and can comprehend things that most people her age can't. Edward is like that too. Wise beyond his age," Everyone at our table chuckled except Renee and Charlie who didn't get the inside joke, "Edward is a gentlemen. For that I'm proud. Congratulations Edward and Bella." That ended his speech and he sat down. Yep, I'm pretty sure my face is permanently painted red.
My dad stood up and started his own, "When Bella first introduced Edward to me as her boyfriend I was a bit apprehensive. I thought that there was no one good enough for my baby girl. But then I saw how Edward looked at her with the love in his eyes and how she looked right back at him the same. I knew that this was no teenage crush. I knew that it was true love. I couldn't ask for a better man to be married to my daughter. Congratulations." Charlie's speech was short but meaning full. After listening to all these speech's I'm shocked that I'm not bawling yet.
"When Bella told me she was getting married I should have been mad but I wasn't. I have always told Bella not to get married straight out of high school and wait until she's thirty. But when Edward and Bella visited me in Jackson with a couple months back and told me that they were getting married I wasn't mad. I saw how they looked at each other with nothing but love in their eyes. They moved in sync, working together perfectly though they may not know. Unconsciously they shadowed one another, always trying to be close. That showed me that they weren't going to end up like I did. They are both strong and responsible young people. I knew that I didn't have to worry about Bella getting pregnant at such a young age. I'm so proud of you Bella. I know that I made you grow up to quick. You were doing most things by the age of ten that normal mothers would do. I'm very lucky to have you as a daughter and Edward as a son-in-law. Congratulations." My mom ended her speech with the formal 'Congratulations' and sat back down.
Now it was my turn. Oh gosh I hope I don't make a fool of myself though that's probably unavoidable.
"I first want to thank you all for coming and celebrating this wonderful event with us. I couldn't be happier to join this amazing family. I'm the luckiest person on this earth right now, I think. I get to be apart of this extraordinary family and I'm married to the outstanding person right here. I often wonder what I did to deserve this. And I never find my answer. I can't thank whatever God there is enough for this." I finished my speech blushing the whole way through, even know the words I spoke were true. I looked over at Edward who smiled at me and tugged my hand to get me to sit down which I did then he stood up and became to speak,
"My lovely bride says she's the lucky one but I oppose to that. I believe I am the lucky one. I'm married to this amazing, beautiful woman. I don't think it's possible for anyone to be luckier than me. It escapes my mind how someone like Bella would want to be with me. She's brilliant in everyway. " He's speech came to an end right there and I was astonished to find that his was shorter than mine. But it got me crying. The tears ran slowly down my cheeks. He pulled me up by the hand and lead me to the 'dance floor'.
The music started playing again and everyone around us was dancing. I laid my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arms around his neck whilst he wrapped his around my waist.
