Okay, tear, tear, this is my last chapter—though it's not my last update. I have two more updates. I hope you enjoy it. It was seven pages long, 2,366 words! Anyways, here is the last part of chapter 19 and pardon my mistakes but I'm really not feeling well…as a matter of fact as soon as I post the pictures I used to create the reception, I'm going to eat dinner at the cafeteria and take another nap.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Chapter 19.3

The Wedding Reception

Edward and I ducked our heads as we were assaulted by rice. Elizabeth in her car seat with the hood up so the she wasn't pleated with rice as we entered the "Just Married" decked limo. I giggled as I arranged my gown around me so it wasn't slammed on.

"Oh my God, have rice all over your hair," Edward chuckled, settling Elizabeth in the seat opposite of us.

He slowly picked out the rice from my hair, littering the floor with it, as we drove slowly towards Port Angeles where the reception was to take place. I sighed and finally rested against the seat and laid my head against Edward's shoulder. I smiled and held out my left hand to look at the ring.

"Married," I whispered, turning my head up as Edward's hand joined my.

"Married," he whispered back and kissed me again.

Just then Elizabeth squealed and chucked her little bear that we gave the flower girls that morning at us, hitting Edward in the head. I laughed as Edward playfully messaged the side of his head.

"She's picking up lessons from Angelina I think," Edward muttered as I handed back the tiny teddy bear which went straight into her mouth.

"I'm lucky she didn't throw her headpiece in the middle of the wedding," I said, smiling.

Edward chuckled. Elizabeth wasn't a headpiece baby. (A/N: I wasn't a headpiece baby either according to my mother, lol. Every chance I got I threw mine off.)

We arrived at the Hall an hour and a half later. Edward said we must have taken the scenic route. There were numerous cars in the parking lot that did tell us that we must have taken the long way to the reception hall.

"Alice," we muttered at the same time.

Edward took Elizabeth out of her car seat and handed her to me while the driver opened the door for us. Elizabeth was eyeing my gown as a pacifier as we entered the hall.

"Look at this," Edward said, pointing to something on a long table.

"Wow," I said, looking down at the guest book. (A/N: Which btw, lol, if you want to leave a wish for the happy couple, PM me please! Lol, I'm serious too! I want to have a "guest" book for Edward and Bella. Besides, you were at wedding, lol, sort of. Remember PM me…not review me your best wishes…unless you can't then review them at the last resort.)

"I love this pen," Edward said, holding up a pen.

"Edward, look. Pictures! I want to know where Alice had taken them," I said, moving down the table to where a mountain of gifts was waiting next to some pictures.

I picked up one of them and showed it to him. It was of Edward, Elizabeth, and me. I was sitting on the coach in the Cullen living room, looking up at Edward. He was looking down at Elizabeth, this lovey-dovey look on his face as he tilted her in my direction.

I felt tears in my eyes as Edward wrapped his arms around me. Elizabeth's eyes were looking between me and Edward.

"A beautiful picture," he whispered.

I nodded and placed the picture down. "We better get into the Ballroom before Alice hunts us down and murders us."

Edward laughed. Elizabeth wiggled at his laugh. I shook my head and followed him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen have arrived!"

"Oh my God," I said as entered the ballroom.

There were at least 300 people all standing around round tables, clapping.

The room was beautiful decorated in white. At the tables I noted as we passed where beautifully done. The centerpiece was made of a candle surrounded by white roses. Beautiful tea candles scattered among the tables casting the softly lit room with a yellow glow. Wedding favors of two kinds and what looked like bubbles stood next to the programs/menus being held by each a different paper weights. The place cards were handwritten in cursive on beautiful white cards held up by tiny silver hearts. The dinner must have been a formal one for there was toasting flutes, atop of glass coasters, were a lined next to the other glasses and there were numerous forks and spoons next to the heart shaped plates. And the salt and pepper shakers was miniature and in between guests.

Alice went all out! Edward and lead me the Wedding Party table—two long tables put together with the similar settings as the others only our toasting flutes were different. Alice and Jasper where to my right as I sat down, Edward holding me chair out before taking his seat to my left with Rosalie and Emmett—who was taking the microphone from the DJ—to his left.

"Alright, Alright, now that the bride and groom are here," Emmett said. "I think it's time for everyone to eat. After everyone has gotten something to eat we will start with Best Man—me clearly—Maid of Honor, and the Toasts. And we will call you by table number to go to the buffet."

The food was delicious. I even feed some bit of mashed potatoes to Elizabeth, who was sitting in a special new born chair, with my pinkie. Her face was priceless as she smacked her lips together, tasting the potatoes. And then she squealed, holding out her hands out towards me for more.

"Okay, time for the Best Man speak," Emmett said.

"Oh lord have mercy," Edward muttered under his breath. I had to smile.

"Okay, I've known Edward for a LONG time. And we've done some pretty weird stuff," Emmett said, nodding his head. "But nothing compared to—"

"Oh my God, not that story Emmett," Rosalie hissed, Angelina banging her high chair.

Edward raised his eyebrow at Rosalie and then at Emmett.

"We were on what we Cullen folk call our annual camping trip," Emmett said, walking across from Rosalie's side of the table to Alice's. "It was my first trip with the Cullen family. I was 14 and Edward was…well he was younger than I was. Well we use to put dead things in each other's sleeping bag. Well I happened to the start that tradition."

"I could have guessed that," I said, smiling.

"Well, I put a snake in Edward's sleeping bag, here his stomach. Edward's afraid of snakes. Well when he woke up—" Edward groaned, clearly this story he didn't want to be told. "—he screamed like a little baby and then refused to leave his bag…found out why hours later, that he crapped in his bag."

Edward laid his head against the table and banged it against it. Elizabeth squealed at the vibrations. I rubbed my hand against Edward's back, trying to hold a smile back at the thought of Edward being less then perfect.

"Anyways, ever since then I have to tease him about it," Emmett said, looking at Edward who was glaring at him. "Anyways, Edward was my first best friend. I had been bounced from foster home to foster home. And I never knew the meaning to family till I joined the Cullen family. Edward was the brother I never had…so was Jasper but Edward has been the fun one to be with." Emmett looked at Jasper. "Sorry Jasper."

Jasper just smiled and rolled his eyes.

"He was the first person to give me a birthday gift. A few tiny Hot Wheels…which I still have, locked up somewhere. Edward was the guy to go to when you needed homework help. He was the guy who gave hugs to Alice and Rosalie when they hurt themselves and he was the one who held Rosalie back when I accidentally scared her M3 a few years ago. And Bella—" he turned to me now. "—I love you like a sister and I've only known you for some time. You two deserve each other. You're perfect together…with Elizabeth of course. And I'm happy to see you finally get married.

"Oh and btw," he said, before he handed Alice the microphone, "I wanted tell you Bella that the reason why Edward dragged me out of the mall that one day before Elizabeth was born was to pick out your ring because he couldn't do it."

Emmett laughed at Edward sour expression and then punched him in the arm as Alice took the limelight.

"Okay, Maid of Honor is supposed to tell everyone something about the bride but since I've only known Bella for a few months as well I guess I'll keep this short. Bella is one of the sweetest persons I've known…including me. She's kind and caring and lord knows she'll have to put up with Edward's bloody lab coats for now on." I smirked at her. "And be tortured as she goes shopping with me." OMG, NO! "But I can say that Bella is the one person who I can trust a secret and when I get married, Bella will be my maid-of-honor too."

"Oh lord," I whispered, rolling my eyes.

Edward chuckled.

"I told you I would keep it short," Alice said, giggling.

"Now for the first toast of the evening," Alice said, taking the flute that Jasper handed her. "Let's raise our glasses to Edward and Bella…the cutest couple anyone can think of."

"To Edward and Bella," everyone chatted, lifting their flutes.

Okay waterworks are coming on.

After dinner, Edward and I were to open the dancing.

"If everyone will gather their bubbles and circle around the dance floor—"

"Edward," I whispered as he pulled me to my feet. "I can't dance."

"That's okay," he whispered back, smirking. "I do."

I closed my eyes and followed him onto the dance floor where Westlife "We Are One" started to play. (A/N: This is one of my favorite songs ever! So should listen to it. It's the perfect wedding song. Anyways, here are the lyrics)

Two very different people
Too scared to get along
Till two hearts beat together
Underneath one sun

Good lord, Edward was right, I thought as he started slow dancing with me. He could dance.

One very special moment
Can turn a destiny
And what some would say
Could never change
Has changed for you and me

I thought back to everything that ever happened to me. If it wasn't for Elizabeth…I won't have meet Edward and be here in his arms, married to him and have one beautiful baby.

'Cause it's all, it's all in the way you
Look through your eyes
And when all is said and done
All of the fear and all of the lies
Are not hard to over come
It's all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two
(We were two)
Now we are one

"Have I told you," Edward whispered. "How beautiful you look tonight?"

I smiled up at his green eyes.

We are two very different people
So much to overcome
So why care for one another
When there's so much to be done

'Cause sometimes it's necessary
Just look how far we've come
You could say my friend
That it's the end
Or a new tale has begun

'Cause it's all, it's all in the way you
Look through your eyes
And when all is said and done
All of the fear and all of the lies
(The lies)
Are not hard to over come
(Oh ho)
It's all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two
(We were two)
Now we are one

One moment in time
Is all the time we need
Just to make a difference
To make it better for you and for me
If you just believe

Edward spun me around and leaned closer and started to sing to the song, the tears coming again.

(Oh yea, just open your eyes)
'Cause it's all, it's all in the way you
Look through your eyes
(Your eyes)
And when all is said and done
(Oh yeah)
All of the fear and all of the lies
Are not hard to over come
It's all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two
(We were two)
Now we are one

Uuh yea, ohh yea
We were two
Now we are one

"Now we are one," Edward whispered in my ear.

"Yes," I whispered back.

"OKAY TIME TO CUT THE CAKE!"

I laughed as Alice sung into the microphone, calling me and Edward towards the cake table.

The cake was beautiful. The cake was swirled with beautiful white frosting. The sides were decorated not with roses but with the words "I love you" in several different languages. The cake topper was a ceramic hearts linking.

"It looks beautiful, Jasper," I said, smiling at Jasper.

Jasper just shrugged but smiled as Alice handed us the cake cutters. Edward covered my hand with his and we both cut slowly—for the photographer who had been taking hundreds, thousands of pictures—into the cake.

"Oh no," I said, watching as Jasper cut the rest and handed Edward a small piece for him to feed me. "No face smashing."

Edward chuckled.

"Rosalie would murder me," he said, offering me the piece.

I took a bit and let the favor entice my mouth.

"It's good," I said, smiling.

"Here," Alice said, handing me Edward's piece.

I smiled and took it from her. Slowly offering it to Edward, he leaned forwarded but not before Emmett standing behind him shoved Edward's face into the piece I held. I gasped and moved back. The entire piece of cake was smeared from Edward's mouth to his hair line. Emmett was laughing hard.

Edward turned and glared at him. The rest of the guests laughed as Edward took a piece of cake and smeared it into Emmett face.

"That's for the snake story," Edward said, smirking as Emmett opened his frosting covered eyes.

I laughed and shook my head.

Elizabeth's POV

I whimpered. I was hungry and the adults were elsewhere, not paying attention. Okay, its time to pay attention to me.

"WAAAAHHH!"

Lol. I couldn't forget about Elizabeth guys. Anyways, I have TWO more update. THE "GUEST" BOOK and an epilogue. Now remember, send me your best wishes or the epilogue will be the last update for this story before I start working on the squeal.
