Ok since the first chapter of Breaking Dawn is out I'm just going to go on from there and skip over Renee's reaction.

Post first chapter of Breaking Dawn:
"Ok Bella, turn around so we can see how it looks," said Alice as she pulled me out of my happy place. I didn't see the point of doing this. I had seen the dress on so many times. Alice had forced me into dozens of fittings to make sure the dress lived up to her standards, and each time it felt increasingly tedious. I turned to look into the full-sized mirror against my wall and still couldn't believe I was the girl staring back at me or that I was the one wearing a wedding dress. The dress was beautiful though. The lace was beautiful and delicate as it cascaded around me. It had the feel of a late nineteen eighteen wedding dress minus the suffocation. An old dress for an old husband, I guess it fitted in more than one way.
"Hmm, Bella walk around a little bit in it. I think it might be a little long…I don't want you tripping over it." Alice mused.
"Alice, there is only so much you can do to stop me from falling. If you really want to help you can get rid of so-called shoes that you are harnessing me to." I answered. With all attention and unsettling news about my best friend, not to mention I hadn't seen Edward in what seemed like ages, I wasn't really in the mood to talk about me embarrassing myself.
"Please Bella, no need for dramatics." She gave me a scolding look that looked even more frightening coming off her pixie-like face. She was soon finished and the dress was safely back in its cage, or garment bag. "Hey, I have an idea!" she was suddenly holding both my hands and jumping lightly on her feet in front of me. I didn't like when Alice got ideas. They usually involved a mall and me. Plus she was giving me that look. It's never good when Alice gives you "the look".
"Alice, if your thinking of taking me shopping for countless items I don't need, then stop right there because I'm not going." The car, the credit card, the cell phone, I could barley manage that. I had to draw the line somewhere.
"But Bella-" she started.
I cut her off. "No." I said flatly. I was going to win this argument. She crossed her arms across her body and glared at me.
"Bella, I know what is best for you. Have you given any thought on what you are going to wear on your wedding night?"
The question threw me off a little. As much as I felt I could trust Alice, it was an especially awkward subject to be discussing with your boyfriend, or I guess, fiancé's sister. "No, I guess I haven't." I replied while pretending to look for something while I hid my blushing pink face.
"C'mon Bella, you know that this is completely necessary. For you and my brother." She looked at me with that devilish smile.
I stared at her for a moment quickly realizing that this was a shopping trip I was going to have to give in to. I blushed a little and sighed, "I have a feeling that I'm going to regret this…lets go."
