When we got to the banister, where we had set up twinkle lights before the party, I turned to look at Bella, and looked into her eyes, being sure I had every bit of her attention. "What is it Edward? Are you ok?" I nodded with a smile, and took a big, deep breath before grabbing the engagement ring out of my pocket, and slowly lowered myself to my one knee, earning a gasp from her.

"Bella Swan... Will you marry me?"

Bella's POV

"Bella Swan... I promise to love you, forever, and always, and will always be by your side... Now, would you make me the happiest man in eternity? Will you marry me?" I stood there, a gasp caught in my throat, as I look down towards the love of my life. He wants to marry me?! I mean.. I knew it would happen eventually, but now? Oh what was I talking about? I was trying to say yes, but the word was stuck in my throat. I felt a lone, happy tear make it's way down my cheek, and I brought my hand to my mouth, the gasp finally coming out. "Yes! Of course I will." I exclaimed, nearly in tears as he slowly slid the ring onto my ring finger.

Just after putting the ring on my finger, he stood up, and immediately wrapped his arms around me, bringing his lips to mine in a passionate kiss. Our lips gliding over each other's smoothly, and both of our heart pounded from the recent excitement. "Oh, thank you Bella!" He cheered happily, spinning me in a circle, happy tears running down our cheeks. "I love you so much!"

"And I love you." I said, hugging him close, and I longed to be by him all night, and forever, and I would spend our entire lives together just to prove that.

Esme's POV

While Carlisle, Charlie, and I were talking, we noticed the loving moment between Edward and Bella and watched as they left the room, along with Bella's brothers, friends, and my other two sons. Carefully I looked at them, and quietly gestured for them to follow. Bella's brothers looked hesitant at first, but complied. And quickly, but quietly we watched as Edward led Bella to the back porch, by the banister, which Alice and I had decorated with a bunch of twinkle lights that hugged the banister and the pergola above them. Luckily Edward had left the glass door open, and only shut the screen door, so we could hear everything. Edward had then turned to look at Bella, and looked into her eyes.

"What is it Edward? Are you ok?" Bella asked, clearly worried. He nodded with a smile, and took a big, deep breath before grabbing the engagement ring Carlisle and I had given him out of his pocket, and slowly lowered himself to my one knee, a gasp came from Bella, inside, all of us gasped, struggling to quiet ourselves so they wouldn't hear us.

"Bella Swan... I promise to love you, forever, and always, and will always be by your side... Now, would you make me the happiest man in eternity? Will you marry me?" Bella slowly brought her hand to her mouth, and gasped before shouting, "Yes! Of course I will." All of us girls were nearly in tears when we watched Edward slip the engagement ring onto Bella's finger, And I hugged Carlisle and Charlie, when we noticed Bella and Edward kiss, and excitement shook throughout my entire being. Excitement for the large, big future before my son and my future daughter-in-law.

Charlie's POV

While listening to Bella, Alice, Rosalie, and Esme talk about a garden for the front and back next spring, the descriptions of the gardens sounded quite nice, would probably smell amazing as well. The description reminded me of a garden that Renee had wanted to do with Bella when she was old enough, and I smiled looking up at the ceiling, imagining the past with Renee, the happy times, the sad times, and the amazing times. That reminded me of videos I had, home videos of me with Renee, and when Renee was pregnant with Bella... Oh how time flies Renee, our little girl is all grown up, and I wish you could have been here to see it.

After a good minute of reminiscing about Renee, I saw Bella's friends, my sons, and Edward's parents and brother's looking in the direction of Bella, and curiously I looked to, to see Edward with his arms around Bella, and his mouth next to her ear, almost as if he were telling her something. And he must have, because they joined hands and moved towards the back porch. Esme slowly stood up, and gestured for us to follow, though I was hesitant, I was curious about what was going on, so I got up and followed everyone and hid, while looking out the window at Bella and Edward on the amazingly lit porch thanks to Esme and Alice's skills. I just then had noticed that Edward had only closed the screen door, probably to let the once in a lifetime warm fall air. Edward had then turned to look at Bella, and looked at her.

"What is it Edward? Are you ok?" Bella asked, she sounded worried. He nodded with a smile, and took a deep breath before grabbing a ring out of his pocket, and slowly lowered himself to my one knee, a gasp came from Bella, inside, all of us gasped, struggling to quiet ourselves so they wouldn't hear us. I couldn't believe what was happening.

"Bella Swan... I promise to love you, forever, and always, and will always be by your side... Now, would you make me the happiest man in eternity? Will you marry me?" Bella slowly brought her hand to her mouth, and gasped before shouting, "Yes! Of course I will." I smiled, happy for my sweet little girl.. but also worried. I thought to Renee again, Yes... our little girl is very grown up now.

Alice's POV

When I watch Edward slip the ring onto Bella's finger, I went ecstatic! My friend was getting married, and I would beg her to let me, Rosalie, and Esme plan it! I could already see it now, black, white, brown, green, purple, grey... these were colors I could see being part of the wedding and reception, and oh, the cake, the songs!

Edward's POV

"Yes! Of course I will!" She had said yes, A rush of joy jolted through my body, sending me into a feeling of happiness. With no care if anyone was watching, I wrapped her into my arms immediately, pressing my lips to hers. Her lips were so soft and smooth. My eyes were half-lidded as I cupped one hand on the back of her neck, and moved one hand lower to wrap around her hip. I looked at her face and could see her crying. I pulled away and gently placed one hand on her cheek, using my thumb to wipe away the tears.

"Bella, what's wrong?" I ask. She breathed out and looked at me smiling.

"I'm just so happy... I'm crying. I love you, thank you." I smiled, and pulled her to me, wrapping my arms around her waist, and setting my chin on the top of her head. Just then, I heard the screen door open, and felt a bunch of arms pulling us into a giant group hug with them. After the hug, cheers came.

"Congratulations Bro! I'm so happy for you." Edward bellowed, slamming his hand on my shoulder.

"Yes, congratulations." My father said, with a more calm and gentle approach. And the entire party, I couldn't help, but smile like a loon, always having Bella as close to me as possible. Eventually we all decided to have a bonfire outside since it was warm and we all snacked on s'mores, on of the best treats in the entire world and we all had a couple Red's Apple Beers. And since Emmet and Rosalie, and Jasper and Alice lived really close they just walked to their homes. We had let Charlie, my parents, and Bella's brother stay the night, since they weren't so close. When we all went to lay down for bed, Bella and I laid down on our sides, looking into each others eyes.

"Thank you." She whispered, sleepily to me. I looked at her, and smiled.

"No, thank you, future Mrs. Cullen." With a smile on my face, I placed my right hand on the back of her neck, and pulled her closer to me, and I pressed my lips to hers. The feel of her lips, so smooth, and quivering under my lips with happiness. Her breath tasted of mint and chocolate, and her scent smelled of Lavender, Honeysuckle, and Lilies. And together, we fell asleep, with complete love in our hearts.
