Ends (Bella's POV)

"Oh come on Bella! The boring part will be over before you know it, and then you get to party! It'll be so much fun!"

I sighed, keeping very still as Alice had intructed as she wove flowers into my hair with quick, nimble fingers. She had already forced light shades of make-up on my face, so I was almost ready. Almost.

This morning when I had awakened at my house, there had been a note on my pillow from Edward. Charlie had been hurrying around the house rather nervously most of the morning, and so Alice had suggested we get ready at the Cullen House, where the whole thing was taking place anyway. I had already had my nervous breakdown for the day, and now I was beginning to freak again, just like I knew I would. I wasn't nervous about the wedding, or the reception, but about after it.

When I would be changed.

But not before Edward fufills his promise, I thought to myself, smirking slyly at my reflection in the mirror. Alice flashed me a smile.

"All right, I'm done." Alice said, pulling me to my feet. I knew what was next.

Ugh.

I stood straight and Alice literally ripped off my tanktop and shorts, Rosalie bringing my dress from the closet of Alice's room. It was the only place safe from Edward seeing it. No one but Alice, Rosalie, and myself had seen the dress, and we kept our thoughts away from it. Or at least they did. I no problem with Edward reading my mind.

Both Alice and Rosalie were dressed in matching light blue dresses. Both looked beautiful, and I knew Alice wanted to make me more prettier than themselves. Being more prettier than the bride at the wedding was bad luck, according to Alice's list of traditions. It was another reason why I hadn't been allowed to speak with Edward all morning.

Alice helped me into the dress as Rosalie checked her apperance in the mirror. I know she didn't like the color of the dress that well, but Alice had insisted. The pixie-like vampire had insisted on taking care of everything, so she had literally taken over the entire wedding. The only thing I really got to pick out was the date and the dress.

As Alice zipped up the back of the dress, I glanced at my reflection. The dress was gorgeous, and I was afraid I would somehow ruin it. Especially with the heels Alice was putting me in. I had the feeling there was another bet floating between the Cullens on how long it took my to trip on my face. The dress with strapless, falling to the floor. The small design of flowers on it matched the ones woven into my hair. I slipped on the silver heels, Alice attaching the veil to the top of my head with a silver, sparkling tiara. I still thought she was going overboard on the whole thing, but not wanting to hurt her feelings, I let her continue.

A sudden wave of calm washed over me as the door to the room opened. Alice darted to the door, slamming it closed before whoever it was could enter.

"Alice, it's me. They want to know if she's ready yet?" Came Jasper's voice with an irratated sigh. He was Edward's best man, just like Alice was my maid of honor (of course).

"Almost. Just a few more things and we'll be down. Go ahead and send up Charlie though." She called through the door before returning to me to fix me up even more.

A few moments later, another knock on the door told me it was Charlie. This time I opened the door, hugging my father tightly once I saw that it was indeed him. He smiled at me, looking rather handsome in the suit Alice had put him in. I thought he looked nice, but he kept grumbling about how it was silly.

"Wow Bells. You look gorgeous." He said and attempted a smile. I knew he had expected Renee to blow up at me over the wedding while he just sat back and watched, but she hadn't, so he was still slightly upset about it. Last time I had heard, Renee was downstairs speaking to Esme.

"Thanks dad." I mumbled. Alice rolled her eyes.

"Try not to be excited Bella. Sheesh." She muttered. I chuckled softly as she and Rosalie left the room, heading downstairs to let everyone know to take their seats because the wedding was about to begin.

"Are you nervous Bells?"

"A bit, yeah." I said, chewing on my lower lip as I linked my arm with his. We wait several moments before we headed downstairs, wanting to make sure everyone was seated. I stayed out of the sight of the glass door, where I would start my walk down the aisle. Of course, I caught a single glimpse of Edward standing at the very end, Jasper and Emmett beside him. Rosalie and Alice were waiting nearby, going to walk down the aisle in front of me. Esme and Carlisle were standing off to one side near the end of the aisle.

"Just think Bella. A few steps, some words, and it'll be all over." Alice assured me as she handed me my bouquet of flowers and sliding open the door. I could already hear the beginning notes of the wedding march. Taking a deep breath, I knew I was about to face the next step of my life.

I felt my cheeks go red. Everyone was staring at me, but none more than Edward as he took in how I looked. His topaz eyes locked with my and I smiled briefly, too nervous to do anything else. I felt numb slightly, but I was slightly excited.

Charlie kissed my cheek and handed me off to Edward, who took my gloved hand. He seemed to glow underneath the lights Alice had strung up - of course, the wedding was taking place at night. The rest of his family glowed in a similar way, their skin reflecting beautifully. He smiled at me, his teeth pearly white. I wanted nothing more than for him to take me away then and there, without having to go through this whole thing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to unite these two souls as one in holy matrimony..." The priest began. Carlisle was originally going to perform the ceremony, but had changed his mind at the last moment. The words he spoke were nothing but a buzz in my ear until we got to the part where I actually had to function and speak.

"Do you, Isabella Marie Swan take this man, Edward Anthony Mason Cullen to be your lawfully wedded husband, through sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do." I whispered, knowing how wrong the man was. We were going to be together forever, because by the end of this week, I was going to be a vampire, just like him.

"Do you, Edward Cullen, take Isabella Swan to be your lawfully wedded wife, through sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do." He stated firmly, his eyes glittering a soft amber. I heard Renee crying softly somewhere behind me, and I was almost positive Esme would have had tears in her eyes if she could cry.

"Then by the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride." He smiled and Edward pulled me into one of the most passionate kisses he had ever given me, his cool lips moving softly against mine. Around us, what was practically the entire town of Forks stood and began clapping as we broke apart, turning to face them as husband and wife. Our fingers were laced together.

Then, everyone was hugging me. Renee launched herself at Edward and I, pulling us both into a large hug. Charlie was next, and he actually surprised me by clapping Edward on the back.

"Alright everyone, if you'll please follow the lit path to your left, the reception will be taking place in moments." I heard Carlisle address everone, gesturing to the small path through the trees lit by laterns that Alice had strung up. Esme was hugging me tightly now. The reception was taking place in a clearing next to the house, so people began filing down the path, chattering excitedly. Edward and I followed with the last of the people with the rest of his - our family, as well as Charlie, Renee and Phil.

It didn't take long for the reception to get into full swing. Emmett and Jasper had gone into the house to retrieve the cake, setting it on one of the tables where food was set out. The clearing was lit as well, a bit softer than the ceremony area. A dance-floor had been set up where I would soon be dancing with Edward as our first dance as husband and wife.

I think I was going to enjoy being Mrs. Edward Cullen.

Soon enough, Edward swept me out onto the floor, where we waltzed together to my lullaby. Of course, I wasn't done. After that, I was forced into dancing with Charlie, Jasper, and Emmett, and out of all - excluding Edward - I had to say that Emmett was the best dancer.

Then it was cake time. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Alice snickering at something. I didn't have time to ask as Edward and I began to cut the cake. We split the piece, both preparing to feed each other the slice of cake.

He fed me mine and I smiled at him. Alice was trying hard not to burst out laughing now as I remembered something from a few weeks ago that Edward had done.

And I needed to pay him back.

With a huge grin on my face, I shoved the slice of cake right in his face.

Laughter filled the clearing, but none louder than Emmett and Jasper, both who recieved faces of cake from a frowning Edward as he wiped icing off his face.

When it came time to toast, Carlisle tapped his crystal wine glass to get everyone's attention. He was going to make the first toast.

"When I first met Bella, I knew she was something special - not including the fact that I met her when she was nearly hit by a car." Several people chuckled and Edward squeezed my hand. "When Edward was around her, I noticed he seemed happier and much more exuberant than he used to be. I don't think it's a surprise to anyone to see them married here today, and I think I speak for both my wife and I when I say: Welcome to the family Bella."
