A/N: I know this is a Bella POV story but I needed to squeeze this is since a lot of you want to know how Jasper and Emmett handle decorations while Edward goes to New Mexico to retrieve the dresses.

EMMETT POV

"Jasper! Emmett!" Alice called. I groaned as Jasper and I stood up and left our video game.

"Why do we have to do this?" I grumbled. "I mean, can't we just hire a wedding crew or something?"

"Bella doesn't want to spend so much on the wedding," said Jasper. "If we so much as go over the budget, she'll throw Edward a fit and guess who our dear brother's gonna vent his frustration on?"

"I see your point," I told him grimly. We went out back where Alice and Rosalie were waiting in the middle of a big mess of chairs and tables strewn all over the lawn.

"What do we need to do first?" asked Jasper.

"The chairs need to be decorated," said Alice as she looked over the clipboard she was holding. For an intimate wedding, she sure acts like she's planning a wedding in the Vatican.

"I thought we were gonna do some heavy lifting and stuff?" I asked her.

"No manly chores for now," said Alice. "Now, I'll show you how to do it." Alice took a chair and started wrapping it in some blue satin fabric. She quickly tied a large bow on the back and stuck several flowers in it.

"It doesn't look so hard," I told her. We all took our own chairs and started doing what she did. After five minutes, I was finished.

"Not too bad, eh?" I said as I showed it to Alice.

"Oh my God, Emmett!" exclaimed Alice. "Where did you learn to do that? It looks better than mine!" I saw Rosalie and Jasper exchange knowing glances.

"What are you talking about?" I asked defensively. "I don't know anything about this frilly girly wedding stuff!" Jasper and Rosalie sniggered while Alice shook her head.

"You're on chair duty, Emmett," she ordered. "We're going to do the tables now while you finish, okay?" I reluctantly agreed and continued with my work.

JASPER

Rosalie and I burst out laughing as soon as we were a few feet away from Emmett. He glared at us while sticking more lilies in the chair. Even when he was angry he could still do a perfect job with the chairs.

"Enough of that," said Alice. "Here's what you do with the table." Alice took another piece of satin blue fabric only it was bigger than the chairs'. She spread it on the round table with the corners hanging off the sides. Rosalie handed her a silver fabric that she started pinning on the sides where the blue fabric didn't cover. It looked pretty good. My Alice always had an eye for detail.

"You try it Jazzy," she instructed. I followed her instructions but didn't get it right the first time. I started over and finally got it right.

"Rose, you're going to build the canopy," said Alice.

"What?" exclaimed Rosalie. "Why do I get the manly job?"

"Because, you're going to rip up the fabric," said Alice. "You just don't have graceful hands." Rosalie shot her a look and walked over to one of the tables. I felt her anger rising but before I had a chance to calm her, she slammed down the table.

"I'll show you a graceful hand!" Rosalie screeched. She started pinning the silver fabric on her table and then we suddenly heard a ripping sound.

"I told you," said Alice. "Now go do the canopy."

"No!" whined Rosalie. "Let me do it again."

"No, Rose!" cried Alice. Before she could stop her, Rosalie ripped the fabric again. She sighed and walked over to the garage. She came back carrying a tool box on one hand and a hammer on the other.

ROSALIE

"Stupid fabric!" I grumbled while carrying the planks of wood from the front yard. Why did Emmett and Jasper get to do the easy jobs?

"Alice, I'm done!" said Emmett. "Can I help Rosie?" Alice nodded without looking up from her clipboard where she was no doubt scribbling some stuff about the wedding.

"Thanks honey," I told him. "Can you get some more planks from the front yard?"

"No problem, babe!" He said cheerfully as he went out front. I checked out the blueprints for the canopy where Bella and Edward were going to stand during the ceremony. I had to admit it was going to be beautiful. Why wouldn't it be? Esme did design it.

"I got it!" said Emmett. "Where do I put it?" I looked up and saw that Emmett was carrying all the planks. I walked over and slapped him on the back of his head which made him drop everything on the ground.

"Ow! What was that for?" He asked while rubbing his head.

"Renee is inside with Bella!" I told him. "What if she saw you?"

"Oh, I forgot," he said meekly.

"It's okay," I reassured him. "Just don't do it again." Emmett nodded and arranged the planks properly. After that, we started making the canopy by measuring the wood and cutting it up. Jasper joined us shortly after finishing the tables. Now, all we had to do was put it up.

EDWARD

"You have got to be kidding me," I grumbled as I walked up to the building where the dresses were supposed to be. I was now standing in front of a wedding dress shop in downtown Albuquerque where Alice told me the dresses were sent by mistake. I sucked in a breath as I headed inside where a tall curvy lady with red hair and even redder lipstick on her teeth looked me up and down. Why on earth is he wearing that? It's almost a hundred degrees out here!

I hoped she wouldn't ask why I was wearing a hooded jacket and gloves. The dresses couldn't have been sent to Massachusetts, it had to be sunny New Mexico.

"Welcome, honey!" she squealed in voice more fit for a man. "What can I do for you? Come to pick out a dress for your lady-love?" Umm…umm…umm. If this were North Carolina, I'm sure I'll be allowed to eat this cupcake up! I smiled meekly, thanked the heavens for making this woman live in New Mexico and walked closer to the counter she was standing behind.

"Yes, actually," I told her. "But it's not one of your dresses. The delivery service sort of sent it here by mistake."

"Sorry, hon," said the lady. "I'm afraid we didn't get any dresses from the mail today." She didn't seem to be lying so I was a little confused that Alice got the address wrong.

"Are you sure?" I asked her again.

"Positive," she answered truthfully. "I've been here since noon and I didn't see any deliveries." Since noon? That explains it.

"Well, then, who was here before you?" I asked as politely as I could. I didn't have time to waste here. Bella and I are supposed to be spending time together before the wedding. Alice has been thinking about not letting me near her after the stroke of midnight just in case we had bad luck or something.

"My sister," said the woman. "But she's at home and we don't have a phone."

"May I have the address then?" I asked her. She looked at me suspiciously and started writing on a piece of paper. If Stella even dares to touch this scrumptious little morsel, I'm gonna call 911 before she can even look at him. I winced slightly at the thought that her sister was as bad as she was. She handed me the piece of paper while smiling and managed to touch my hand for a brief moment. Ooh, cold? Must be nervous coz I'm around.

"Here it is," said the woman. "Her name's Stella. If she doesn't answer the door just keep ringing the doorbell until she does." I nodded and thanked her and rushed out of the store.

My cell phone suddenly rang so I answered it while hailing a cab.

"Edward! Get over to that house as fast as you can!" Alice screeched into the phone. "The woman is going to take Bella's dress and elope in Las Vegas!" I snapped the phone shut and told the cab driver to take me to the address on the paper as fast as he could.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," said the driver. He didn't listen to me and kept driving way under the speed limit.

"Will this make you go any faster?" I asked him as I slapped a hundred dollar bill on the glass divider. As soon as he saw it he stepped on the gas pedal and zoomed out of the main streets maneuvering through the back alleys. I would have preferred to run over there but I didn't know where it was and someone might see me.

The cab halted to a stop in front a small duplex painted in a very outrageous pink color. I paid him the money and hopped out of the cab. I walked over to the house and was disappointed to find that I couldn't smell any humans inside. I cursed myself as I started to walk away form the house. How could this happen before our wedding day? This was causing unnecessary problems for my fiancée.

The phone rang and I answered it immediately. "They're checking in a seedy motel called Honeymooner's Paradise," Alice said quickly. "Go there before she gets a chance to wear the dress! By the way, the bridesmaid's dresses are inside the house. Don't rumple them!" She hung up and I went back to the house and looked for their dresses. As soon as I found them I left and headed for Las Vegas.
