A/N: Well, I think I may have a new story on my hands. I wrote a one-shot yesterday (Read if you haven't done so) and people seem to want more. So that should be fun. Anyway, that's why I didn't update yesterday. And I have two reports to write, so yeah.
Bella: I'm totally not like how you made me in that story.
Me: I know, Bella, that's why it's a fanfiction. Duh.
Alice: Yeah, Bella, duh. Kelli! Wanna go shopping?!
Me: Fer Sure! Review guys!
"Now, which table cloth do you think would be best? We have lace and we have silk." Alice put the two sample pieces of cloth on the dining room table, awaiting our reaction.
I looked over at Cole. He had such an apathetic look plastered on his Godly face. I smiled at him reassuringly.
"I like the silk, though I don't understand why we're getting so extravagant here, Alice. There's only going to be a few people here," I commented, fingering the small square of silk.
"Are you kidding?! There's the ten of us, the Denali coven, and the Volturi, along with their guards. There's going to be hundreds of people at the wedding. Which brings us to location." She pulled out a large binder with dividers sticking out of it.
"I want to have it at one of our houses, but it's up to you entirely. I can't imagine you want to have it here." Alice looked out at the melting snow disdainfully.
I flipped through the pages, carefully examining each piece of property my family owned. I finally settled on a white Grand Colonial home in Massachusetts. The house we owned there had a large lawn, perfect for the wedding. It was far from any human life, another huge plus.
"Alice, this is it." She took the book from me, smirking.
"I knew you'd love it," she commented, pulling the picture from the book. She placed the picture under the clip of her clip board and set the binder off to the side.
"Now, Rose, make sure the Volturi know we're going to Massachusetts," Alice called out, turning the pages in another binder.
"Yes master," Rosalie said in a thick southern accent as she walked down the stairs. Alice scowled at her.
"Anyway, let me think. We've gotten the flowers, location, table cloths, and attire taken care of. We have centerpieces, a priest, and gift registry to attend to." She got up and walked around the table, her way of deep thinking.
"Ok, I'm pretty sure Marcus is still ordained…Rose! Ask about that while you're on the phone with Gianna! And I don't think we'll register, with all the commotion. Everyone can just get their own gifts. So that's not an issue. Hmm…" Alice trailed off, having a vision again.
"Yes, the gift registry thing is a good idea, and…" she trailed off again as the doorbell rang. "The centerpieces are here!" Alice exclaimed excitedly as she ran to the door.
"Thank you!" she called out to the delivery man as she shut the door and ran back to the dining room with a large white box.
From the box, we pulled seven centerpieces, all revolving around the color purple. Four were flowers; I immediately ruled those out. Flowers were too ordinary. One was a crystal sphere; very cute, but not quite right. The sixth piece I looked at was a silver candlestick with tiny purple balloons hanging from it; again, not right. The last piece, however, couldn't have been a better choice. It was a crystal bowl with spherical, tiny purple candles filling it.
"This is it," Alice said quietly as she lifted it from the table, examining the centerpiece carefully.
"That's it," I murmured, mirroring Alice's thoughts. We smiled at each other while Cole simply sat to the side, letting us have our fun.
"Girls, are we done? I wanted to show Ayden something," Edward said, just entering the room.
"Sure, take her. I think we're finished with the plans for the wedding. Off to book the tickets!" Alice marched up the stairs to her laptop, again, with an evil glint in her eyes.
"So what did you want to show me?" I asked casually as we walked through the leftover snow together.
"I didn't really want to show you anything; I just wanted to talk." He sat down on the bench outside Tanya's cabin and motioned for me to join him. "I want you to know that I realize how difficult this stuff has been on you lately. I know how it feels to know you took the life of someone you love. And trust me, I know how hard it can be to plan a wedding with Alice. Just imagine having to invite an entire town to the event." We laughed together. "Just know I'm here if you need anything, ok?"
"Thanks, Edward. I'll keep that in mind. You're such a great brother." I hugged him tightly before taking off to find Cole while he went to see Bella.
"No way! Noooooooo!" Emmett cried out as I found him and Cole playing Guitar Hero in the family room.
"I take it that Emmett lost?" I asked casually, making myself comfortable on the white couch.
"Doesn't he always?" Cole replied, sitting down next to me.
"True."
"Hey! Not nice! I'm just not good at Guitar Hero. I'll kick his butt at Ace Combat," Emmett whined as he sulked over to the other couch.
"Aww, we know. It's ok." I patted his curly hair before dragging Cole up to our bedroom.
I collapsed onto our bed, dragging him down with me. I curled up in his arms, just trying to rest after our long day of planning with Alice.
"Twelve days," he murmured in my ear. He kissed down my neck and up my jaw line.
"Yes, and as each of those days pass, I'll love you more and more," I whispered before nibbling on his ear lobe.
"You are my life, my sun, my moon, and my stars, Ayden." I smiled up at him weakly.
"You look so sad, love. Is something wrong?"
"I'm just happy," I said quietly, laying against his chest again. "I would be crying if I could, but they would be tears of joy."
"Ayden! Get over here, now!" Alice called from her room across the hall. I bumped into Jasper on my way over.
"Good luck," he muttered as crossed into my bedroom, no doubt to play guitar with his brother.
I laughed quietly at his remark as I closed Alice's door. She motioned for me to join her on her bed. I noticed the glow of her laptop in front of her as she typed crazily.
"Now that the wedding is taken care of, where are we booking the honeymoon?" I mulled over the thought for a few moments.
"I dunno, Alice. Any suggestions?" She, in turn, pondered the thought for a minute.
"How about Greece? That could be fun," she suggested. My eyes lit up; it was perfect.
"Oh. My. God! Alice, you are a genius, my dear!" I hugged her tightly. She giggled at my enthusiasm.
"And even better," she added, "a storm should be blowing in right after you guys get there. I already saw it." She squealed and called for our sisters.
"That's perfect!" Bella exclaimed, hugging me tightly.
After a brief celebration, we joined our men in the family room with Carlisle and Eleazar, just enjoying their boy-time. I could tell by Alice's smirk that she'd had a vision of the bachelor party. I could also infer by the wink she gave me that she'd seen our party.
"Hey, boys, what's up?" I asked as I plopped myself on the floor in front of Cole as he sat on the couch.
"Not much. What can we do for you ladies?" Eleazar replied as he put down his book, slightly annoyed that we'd ruined the guy-time.
"Cole!" Alice shouted suddenly, startling all of us.
"Y-yes?" he replied nervously.
"You haven't picked a best man yet?!" she screeched at him, obviously furious. "Go do it, now! Ayden, take your man upstairs before I cut off his head." She sank to the floor, upset that her plans had been derailed. Jasper gathered her up in his arms.
We walked up to our room slowly, throwing glances over our shoulders to assure that Jasper had the monster contained. I closed the door quietly once we'd reached our destination.
"You haven't picked yet?" I asked, calm yet shocked. He looked down at me with his burning crimson eyes, pleading; I could see the sadness they held.
"It's hard. Emmett, Edward, and Jazz are my best friends. It's a little difficult to choose between them." He sighed and buried his head in his hands.
"I know it is, baby, but you have to choose someone," I murmured, wrapping my arms around his waist. He sighed deeply.
"How did you choose Alice?" I could tell that he was looking for help underneath his seemingly simple question.
"It wasn't easy, as you said." I paused to smile at him warmly. "But I just thought over everything we've been through together and everything she's done for me, and I knew it was only fair to choose her, no matter how much I love Bella and Rose."
He nodded his head in understanding. "I guess that helps me out a little bit, but I still don't know…" he trailed off, looking around our bedroom nervously.
A few days passed. Alice booked every ticket; for the wedding and the honeymoon. She had all the decorations, along with herself and Esme, sent to Longmeadow, Massachusetts to decorate the home we owned there. The remainder of us would be leaving Wednesday, three days before the ceremony, to have our parties and fix last minute arrangements.
"How is everyone this morning?!" I called out as I skipped down the stairs with Cole in tow.
"Great," everyone called unenthusiastically in unison. We had all gotten pretty bored as we waited for the wedding to arrive.
"We leave today, guys! Let's get excited." Everyone looked at me like I was wearing a fruit basket on my head.
"Woo." I sighed. I skipped over to the television, turning it off. Jasper had seen enough Blue's Clues to last the rest of his lifetime.
"What was that for?! They just found the second clue!" I rolled my eyes at him and picked him up off the couch.
"Go pack, lazy!" I pushed him, along with all my family members, up the stairs to pack.
"That means you to," I informed Tanya and the others, shoeing them back up to their cabin to pack.
"I think you've taken over Alice's position," Cole teased as he sat our bags by the door. "I picked my best man, Ayden."
A/N: Sorry it took so long, guys! Been busy, but I hope to update again tomorrow…after I visit my satanic grandmother and do my reports. Review, loves! Here to give hugs to Chapter one's reviewers is everyone favorite empathy, Jasper Whitlock Hale!
Jazz: Why do I have to do it?

Jazz: -Sigh- Hug me.
