Author's Note: I know! Two updates in one day, well since I am normally doing about 100 things, I finally took a day off after some prompting from my boyfriend who insisted I needed a break from my hectic schedule! So here's the next part!

EPOV

I sat on the couch in my room, fidgeting nervously with my hands. I had just returned from my extra long hunting trip and had not seen Bella since yesterday afternoon. I wanted to do something, but Alice had already taken care of all the details and she ordered me to stay put. I knew she was nervous I would catch a glimpse of Bella before I was supposed to. I was blocking out her thoughts, making sure that I would indeed be surprised; I was still trying to make everything perfect for my future wife.

There was a soft knock on my door, and I turned to see Jasper and Emmett walk in and close the door behind them.

"Ready little bro?" called Emmett, clapping me on the back. Jasper had a wide grin on his face.

"Very ready," I replied calmly. "But nervous," I added quickly after Jasper raised his eyebrows. He could probably feel the tension pouring off me. "But I am excited, I have never wanted anything more than I want this. I just want her to be happy."

"Trust me, after tonight, she's going to be verryyyy happy," joked Emmett wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

Jasper laughed out loud but knocked Emmett upside the head. "Look Edward, I know how you feel, but this is going to be one of the happiest days of you're life, one you will always cherish and remember." His eyes glazed over and thoughts of Alice in her wedding dress clouded his mind. He shook his head forcefully and added, "Don't worry about Bella, she wants this."

"Yeah," agreed Emmett, he had a big smile on his face and clapped his hands together loudly. "This is awesome, baby bro finally getting married, finally sealing the deal, and bringing a new powerful vampire in the family; I haven't been this excited in weeks!"

"Oh please," interrupted Jasper. "I was practically knocked over by your level of excitement when I passed your bedroom this morning."

Emmett chuckled and sank onto the couch. "Oh yeah," he said dreamily, "I almost forgot… that was quite exciting."

I held up my hands in protest, "I can tell where this is leading, please censor your thoughts for my sake." I pleaded, closing my eyes, even though I knew it would make no difference.

He chuckled. "No problem. But you'll be having the same thoughts running through your mind though, after tonight."

"I doubt my thoughts will be that crude," I replied honestly.

Jasper laughed and shook his head. "I doubt it Edward, for once I agree with Emmett, you don't know what you've been missing."

"It might be a different experience though, you know, with a human," Jasper added thoughtfully. "You should probably be real careful."

"Don't you think I know that?" I said, a little more angrily than I intended. "Why do you think I have been so opposed to it all this time? I wanted to wait, but her human hormones won that battle."

"I don't know how you've held out, especially with a girlfriend like Bella," said Emmett. I scowled at him and he quickly rephrased returning the scowl. "That's not what I meant Edward, I just meant with her persuading you and all, I wouldn't be able to last one day if it was Rose."

"We know," replied Jasper and I in unison.

"Shut it Jasper," called Emmett, "Me and Rosalie might do it slightly more frequently than you and Alice, but I'm not the one that has eight gaping holes in the wall behind my bed!"

Jasper muttered under his breath and turned back to me. "Anyway," he interrupted, ignoring Emmett's comment completely. "Your completely well fed, there's nothing to worry about, everything's going to go great, and-" he glanced at his watch, "It's time to get you downstairs, we're starting in fifteen minutes."

I leapt up, taking one last look in the mirror, and followed my brothers down the stairs and into the garden. As I took my place at the makeshift alter, I scanned the crowd.

Renee and Phil sat in the front row to my left, and I noticed Renee was already crying. It was very hard for her to see her only child getting married. Phil was patting her on the back and he caught my gaze and nodded his head. Renee then turned to smile at me, tissue in hand. I smiled back, and my attention went to the people sitting directly behind them.

Jessica, Angela, Tyler, Mike, Ben and a few other kids from school sat calmly talking amongst themselves. I heard Jessica recounting the story about how she had actually been the one to first tell Bella about me, and how she was so happy she had "hooked us up." I chuckled under my breath and my eyes fell onto Mike Newton who was staring up at me. Being embarrassed to be caught, he averted his eyes back to his friends. He was sitting with a slight hunch, trying to hide the miserable look that kept taking over his face. But I also noticed he was holding Jessica's hand in his lap. Finally, that problem solved.

I looked to my right and saw Carlisle and Esme sitting in the front row on the other side. Carlisle had his arm around her, and they were both looking at me with a look of pure love and admiration. We're so proud, Esme thought, and Carlisle gave a slight wave. I waved back.

Emmett took his place in front of me, grinning widely. I couldn't contain my laughter when I saw him wearing a pastor's uniform.

"Nice touch Emmett," I said in between my quiet laughter.

"I thought so," he said smugly, pulling on the hem of his shirt proudly.

"I've got the ring," said Jasper from behind me in the best man's position. I turned to smile at him and saw that he had a camera hanging around his neck. I looked at the decorations; Rosalie had really out done herself. It was lovely.

Suddenly, I heard could hear the tunes of Bella's lullaby playing softly in the background. It was starting. I caught Carlisle's eyes; I knew he was in charge of the music. He must have recorded me playing. I smiled, knowing that it was perfect.

Everyone turned as Rosalie made her way down the aisle, dressed in a light blue gown. I heard Emmett sigh heavily behind me. Following close behind was Alice, making her way down the aisle with a lithe float, grinning happily. I heard the snap of a picture go off, and I turned to Jasper.

"Sorry," he said sheepishly.

I was so impatient. I couldn't wait to see my Bella. My mind was overflowing with happiness and I realized my nerves had gone away. This is what I wanted, this is what I needed, and I knew within the depths of my stone cold heart that she was my soul mate. This was the first step into eternity with her, and I suddenly couldn't wait to get started.

The audience rose out of their seats, and turned to face where Bella would be making her entrance. Once Rosalie and Alice took their respective spots, the music got a little louder and we all waited patiently. I was on over drive; my eyes were glued to the spot where I knew she would come out. I stood stone still, not wanting to move, trying to immerse myself completely in the moment.

Then…there she was.

She walked out, arm in arm with Charlie, with her head bowed nervously. She glanced around at all the people staring at her, and a lovely blush fell over her cheeks. When her eyes met mine, her face lit up into a smile, and I felt mine do the same. She was stunning. It was as if she was emitting a tangible glow. She was like an angel, coming to save me from myself. Like she was walking down that aisle to become my miracle, like a force was blessing me with all the happiness I could possible endure.

I admired her beautiful flush skin, making sure that I would keep it locked in my memory. She walked towards me, and I had a brief worry that she would trip, but Charlie seemed to have a steady hold on her. He had tears in his eyes that he was rapidly trying to blink away.

I felt the grin plastered on my face, and my eyes stayed locked with hers. All I saw was her; all I heard was the music in the background. I never realized until this moment how truly lucky I was.

As she came closer me, I reached out, and couldn't stop myself from kissing her hands as she placed them in mine. Throughout the ceremony, I kept my eyes trained on nothing but her. I wiped the tears away as they fell down her cheek. I recited my vows; trying to convey the utter devotion I felt swelling in my body.

"You may now kiss the bride," the words rang out like a musical and I swept Bella up in my arms and kissed her lips forcefully, holding her as tight as I could without hurting her.

She held me just as fiercely. When she finally surfaced for breath, she didn't pull back but wound her arms tightly around my neck. "I love you Edward Cullen," she whispered tearfully.

"I love you Isabella Cullen," I answered. Then we were ambushed by our families, a tearful Renee and Charlie, an ecstatic Alice who had reached us first, and a whole crowd of people eager to give their congratulations. I refused to drop Bella's hand from my own as we thanked everyone.

The crowd started to disperse and the humans all went for the food table, where Esme had supplied a seemingly delicious array of choices.

Alice came up to us again, grinning. "That was beautiful! I'm so happy for you two!"

"It was beautiful because of you Alice, thank you, it's perfect," said Bella.

Alice beamed and threw herself at her, wrapping her in a huge hug. "Oh Bella, you really are legally my family now! I could never ask for a better sister." I knew Alice would be crying if she could, her mind was flooded with happiness. I noticed everyone, well mostly everyone's thoughts were happy. I guess weddings do that to someone. Or maybe it was Jasper. But he looked too busy snapping pictures to think about the emotions around him. He suddenly waved us over.

"It would be nice if I could have a picture of the bride and groom," he joked light heartedly. After we posed for about 137 pictures, Alice finally was satisfied that it was enough. We had taken pictures with everyone present, and then some. But I didn't mind, I knew the pictures would be beautiful.

"Are you hungry?" I asked Bella.

"Starving," she replied and we made our way over to the table. Bella piled a bit of food on her plate and we took a seat at a table made especially for us.

I kept gazing at her dreamily and she laughed. "Dazzling me already?"

"You're dazzling me; I can't look away from you." She blushed nervously and grabbed my hand, and we stared into each other's eyes, oblivious to commotion around us.

I heard someone clear their throat loudly beside us, and it snapped me out of my blissfulness. I saw Charlie standing beside our table, with a hand reached out in my direction.

"Congratulations," he said awkwardly. I gripped his hand strongly, happy for the peace offering.

"Thank you sir."

"Even though it is a little early, even a blind man would be able to tell how in love you two are, and I suppose," he shifted his feet a bit, "I'm very happy for you two," he finished hastily.

"Oh Dad," Bella stood up and wrapped him in a hug. I looked away politely as both their eyes filled with tears. Renee came over just then and grabbed me into an embrace. She started babbling on about how beautiful the ceremony was, and giving us both endless amounts of hugs.

As it started to get darker, all the guests started to leave, saying their final congratulations and goodbyes. Renee and Phil went back to their hotel, and Charlie went home.

"Well, it looks like only the Cullen's are left," stated Carlisle, smiling down upon Bella, who looked up at him with a shy smile.

"Looks like it," added Emmett, sweeping her up into a large sisterly hug.

"Be careful with my new wife," I warned playfully, putting my arm back around Bella once he placed her back on the ground.

I turned to smile at her, and as we both started to get lost in each other's eyes for the hundredth time that day, I noticed the room had cleared, and everyone was gone.

I listened carefully, but I couldn't even hear their thoughts.

"Wow," I said. "That was a quick getaway."

When she didn't answer, I looked down at her, wondering why her heartbeat had suddenly sped up. I was met with a huge smile and felt her snake her arms around my waist.

"Well Mr. Cullen, I think it's time for you to hold up your end of the bargain."
