Happy Honeymoon
I couldn't have been asleep very long, but here Alice was, telling me to get up.
"Don't you want to see your dress?"
"My dress? Edward didn't say anything about a dress."
"That's because Edward doesn't know, now up."
I sat up, but only to stare at her.
"Alice what did you do?"
"Nothing too drastic. Now come on, you seriously have to get up."
I heard a soft whir and I whipped my head to the bathroom.
"What the hell?"
"Rosalie."
"What?"
"And Esme is at the store buying some last minute stuff, now Bella which do you want done first, alterations, or your hair?"
"I, but you, and," I sighed, "the alterations."
She grinned.
"Great."
Before I knew it I was standing on a stool wearing a lavender, floor length dress. Normally I would protest wearing such a color but when I saw myself in the mirror I was surprised.
"It looks... good on me."
"Of course it does. Just wait, when we do your make-up you'll look absolutely stunning."
I just kept staring into the mirror. The straps of the dress were a mesh lace and were wide. The chest was embroidered with tiny flowers and the back was a mesh lace to match the straps. Under the chest was solid lavender satin with a paler lavender that started at the side edges of my middle back. It was pinned to stay on the dress and then trail down to become a train and drag along the floor. The dress was fish tailed with a train and I couldn't help but notice that it looked incredibly expensive.
"Alice, how much did you spend on this?"
"The fabric wasn't very much at all really. Neither was anything else I put into it."
"You made this?"
"Of course."
She held a pin next to her lip and tilted her head.
"You know, I think I did rather well. I fitted you almost perfectly."
She reached around to my back and pinned some cloth together.
"Ah there, now it looks like it fits your upper body better."
Honestly, I didn't see much of a difference, but who was I to stop her?
"Rosalie!"
"What?"
"Where did I put the shoes?"
"Bag by the door."
"Thanks!"
She left me standing on the stool and came back with a huge bag.
"I made the bridesmaids dresses too. They're the same color as yours, but they're strapless and they just go down straight without a train."
"You didn't have to."
"I wanted to."
She rumaged through the bag and groaned.
"Oh where are those shoes."
Her face lit up and she pulled out a pair of lavender flats that were satin to match the dress and were the perfect size.
"Easy to dance in, and simple but elegant to match the dress. Perfect match I think."
"What about you guys?"
"Same color, but they're pumps."
"I'm going to feel really silly being the only one dressed up at my own wedding."
"You won't be. Edward has a tux and so do his best men."
"When did you do this?"
"I made this a while ago in case you and Edward got married sooner, but it was just a solid satin. I added last minute things to it last night. Jasper insisted on buying Edward a tux."
"Why get so dressed up?"
I lifted each leg as she slipped on the flats.
"Well everyone might think it was silly if you were dressed so casual for your own wedding."
"Everyone? Alice it's only your family and Charlie."
"Sure it is honey."
I groaned.
"Alice what did you do?"
"You make it sound like I did something awful."
She pouted and I sighed.
"I'm sorry, you just know how I am about surprises and all that."
"I do, but you'll deal with it."
Rosalie came out of the bathroom with a brush and a hand on her hip.
"Alice she needs to hurry up and get in here so I can do her hair. By the way Bella that dress is stunning on you."
"Um, thanks."
Alice shoed me off of the stool.
"I'll be in there in a minute, go get your hair fixed."
I walked over to Rosalie and she started pulling the brush through my hair before we were in the bathroom.
"Is an up-do okay? I think it would look great with this."
"Um, sure."
"Great."
Her hands worked quickly, pinning this back, curling that. She paused partway through and groaned.
"Am I done?"
"Not even close."
She'd taken down the mirror so I couldn't see what she was doing.
"Alice! Where's her veil?"
"In here, hang on."
A few minutes passed and Alice came flying in the a tiara-looking veil. Tiny diamonds were in the tiara and Rosalie fixed it into my hair before I could admire it anymore. The train was a few layers of mesh lavender lace, to match my dress. Rosalie went back to my hair, curling and recurling locks of hair. She sprayed it down with hairspray and stood back.
"I think we're done here. Alice come see!"
Alice came back, her dress on and make-up partway finished.
"Gorgeous. Let me finish my make-up real fast and I'll do hers while you get dressed okay?"
"Got it."
Alice ran back out and Rosalie adjusted the tiara, smiling.
"Ah that's better. Now it's centered. Oh! One more thing."
She reached into the pocket of the robe she was wearing and pulled out a small brown paper bag. Out came a pair of earings that were a line of diamonds, with a pearl drop at the end, and a necklace to match. The diamonds were real, that I was sure of and she put them on me, making sure the necklace was centered.
"There. Now it's perfect."
"Are these yours?"
"Yeah, but I never really wear them. Pearls were never my thing."
"Oh Rosalie I couldn't wear them, they're too beautiful."
"Nonsense, you're keeping them."
"But-"
"Think of it as a wedding gift."
Alice came back and looked over the jewelry.
"Cute. Good idea Rosalie."
"Thank you. Now if you''ll excuse me, I need to go get dressed."
She left and Alice handed me a make-up bag.
"Remind me to thank Esme will you? She ran out and got all your make-up this morning."
"Where is she?"
"The living room, helping Rosalie change no doubt."
She pulled out all kinds of make-up and put it on the edge of the sink. She fished out some tools for the make-up and put the bag on the floor, looking thoughtful.
"I think I have the perfect idea for how to paint your eyes. They are going to look sooo gorgeous. Close them real fast."
I breathed in deep and closed them. I knew the routine for the make-up and could almost predict what she was doing. First, a pale concealer to match my skin. then light blush; eyeliner, lipliner, mascara, eyeshadow, and lipstick. She curled my eyelashes and made a few adjustments, and then I felt her stop.
"Okay, open."
I did. I couldn't see what she'd done, but I could only assume it was more lavender.
"Oh wait, I forgot."
She pulled out a clear gloss and painted it on my lips.
"Rub them together now."
I did and she smiled.
"Perfect, just perfect. Ready to see?"
"Yeah."
She held up a mirror and I gasped. My cheeks seemed to be highlighted along with just under my eyebrows. Not only did it make me look more energized... but it made me prettier too. My lips were a frosted purple and were glossed to match the highlight of my cheeks. The eyeshadow was a frosted purple to match my lips and the eyeliner was a thin dark purple, that made my eyes seem wide.
"You look so gorgeous Bella, Edward will be speechless."
I hoped so because I certainly was.
Esme came in to tell us it was almost time to go and stopped.
"Oh Bella honey you look so pretty!"
She was wearing a simple white dress and smiled at me.
"I can't wait for Edward to see you."
That made two of us.
"Okay are we all ready to go? It's supposed to start at 1 and it's already 12:45."
"I think so. Are you ready Bella?"
I nodded, still really unable to speak and Alice squealed.
"Well then let's go!"
She hugged me and we walked to a limo waiting in my driveway.
"You have to be joking."
"Of course not."
Rosalie and Esme climbed in and I could only stare.
"Alice."
"I know, but I wanted it to be as much of a traditional wedding as I could make it. I know you wanted one."
I smiled and hugged her.
"Thanks Alice."
We climbed inside the limo and Alice told him to go.
Inside was flowers to match my dress and a soft perfume lingered.
"After the wedding reception, this is going to take you to your honeymoon suite."
"My what?"
"I got a hotel room for you and Edward. 5 star, very nice. For his last night and day here."
"Thanks Alice," I said softly.
There was a small refrigerator and table with seats next to it. It was roomy and nice enough, but I felt guilty that Alice had put so much energy into this. The church came into view and I smiled. It was one I admired before, a tiny white church with a beautiful flower garden. Bells rang and Charlie was waiting in front of the doors that led inside. He was grinning from ear to ear and Esme went inside the church, careful not to open the door too wide. Alice and Rosalie stood behind me, and Alice quickly handed me a bouquet of sweet peas and white roses. I linked my arm with Charlie and he gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
"You look beautiful honey, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Positive."
He nodded and I heard music from inside.
"Then let's go."
The doors opened and I saw Edward at the end of the aisle. He was wearing a perfectly fitted light gray tux and Jasper and Emmet stood behind him. He wasn't smiling, but he did look surprised. It took me a moment to realize I was supposed to be walking.
The music was dull in my ears, all I could focus on was taking one more step to Edward. The people in the aisle were smiling faces that were just a blur and I was finally only a few steps away. He reached his hand out to me and I took it, stepping the rest of the to him. Charlie had somehow released my arm without me knowing and now he was sitting in the aisle next to Carlisle and Esme. He was smiling with them and I felt a tiny tear slide down my face. I looked at Alice and she mouthed waterproof at me. I smiled and looked at Edward who motioned to the priest.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan in matrimony. If anyone here has any reason these two should not be married, speak now."
I heard a seat creak and saw Jacob in the back, scowling. Oh well.
"Then we proceed. Do you Edward Cullen, take Isabella Swan to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do, and I will."
"And do you Isabella Swan, take Edward Cullen to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do, and I will."
"Then by the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. Mr. Cullen, you may kiss your bride."
Edward took me in his arms and kissed me softly. My heart pounded and all I could think about was the feeling of his lips on mine.I heard cheering and Edward released me from his kiss, slipping a ring on my finger. It was incredibly gorgeous, made with a silver band. The main stone was a saphire with two diamonds on either side. It was more beautiful than I could believe, and it was mine. A solid silver wedding band appeared on a pillow out of nowhere and I slipped it on his finger for him, smiling with happy tears on my cheeks.
"I love you so much."
"And I love you, so so much."
We hugged tight and Alice hugged us both together.
"I'm so happy for you two!"
I grinned and Edward kissed me again, his arm already at its spot behind my waist.
"Wanna go dance?"
"Of course."
We went outside to the back of the church where there was soft music playing. It was slow and Edward put me into a dancing position, already moving us in time to the music.
"Did you know Alice was going to do all this?"
"I thought she might but I was pretty sure that she wouldn't have enough time to plan like this. You look beautiful by the way."
"And you look amazing."
He dipped me and I giggled, letting my body relax in his arms.
"How long are we going to stay?"
"For the cake and toasts, then we'll probably sneak out of here."
"Sounds good."
The reception was nothing special, a father-daughter dance, a newlywed dance, and then the rest was just friends and family. Edward and I only danced a little but it was still fun to watch everyone. I played with the ring on my finger and waved at Alice who was dancing silly with Jasper. The DJ stopped the music and spoke into the microphone, I think at Edward's request.
"Ladies and gents, it's time to cut the cake and hear some toasts!"
Carlisle went to him and took the microphone, raising his glass.
"I've been there to see these two fall in love and I'm glad I could be here to witness their commitment to each other."
He drank and the crowd followed.
A few more toasts were made, mostly to Edward for his bravery in going to war. One to me by Alice for "dealing with him," and then that was all. Edward and I made the first cut into our cake and put pieces into each others mouths. Cameras flashed and cheers ensued and Edward and I both laughed. Alice approached us as everyone was getting their cake and grinned.
"The driver's ready to take you guys off. Edward's going to get his head shaved, and then you guys are off to the hotel."
"Head shaved?"
"It's a requirement honey.."
"Oh."
We climbed slowly into the limo, Edward grasping my hand. The drive was quick, the salon being only a few minutes away from the church. I stayed inside the limo, since shaving his head took about the same time it did to drive here. I opened a bottle of champagne for us while he was inside and drank it slowly. The limo driver checked the address of the hotel with Alice on a car phone and I laid on the seats, waiting. Soon I heard the door open and Edward came back inside, looking completely different.
"Wow.."
"That's what I said too."
His face was more refined but it made his head look bigger. He kissed my cheek and put me in his lap, laughing.
"You are going to be a very happy woman tonight."
I grinned at him and moved away off of his lap.
"Oh really?"
"Really."
"Sir? Is there anyway we can get to the hotel faster?"
"We should be there within minutes sir."
"Thank you."
His hands went around my neck and he massaged it gently, making me whisper when I spoke.
"Do I really look beautiful?"
"You look like a queen."
I smiled and I felt the limo slow.
"I think we're here."
"Good."
"Clothes?"
"Everything I needed to pack is already in the room, so is the stuff for you."
"Alice thought of everything didn't she?"
"She did. Even that box of stuff you told me about."
I blushed and the door opened.
"Your hotel."
Edward left the limo first, and I followed. He lifted me in his arms and carried me through the doors, my protests half-hearted.
"You really should put me down."
"Hush."
He did decide to take the elevator, I think because the honeymoon suite was on the top floor. Even though Edward was incredibly strong, even superheroes get tired. While we were inside, Edward kept kissing my neck.
"Just wait until we get into the room, you won't believe what I've got planned."
"Eager much?" I said with a teasing grin.
He bit my neck making me shriek with delight and licked the spot.
"Very."
The elevator dinged for our floor and Edward practically sprinted out of the elevator with me in his arms.
The room was already unlocked with the door open (at Alice's request, surprise surprise) and before I could comprehend it, Edward threw me from his arms onto the bed. I bounced from the impact and laid on the pillows while I waited for Edward to follow me. He came slowly, looking me over while he walked. My dress was becoming tangled under my feet as I pressed against the bed, blushing.
"Will you hurry up and get over here? The suspense is killing me."
He laughed and bounced onto the bed, pinning me underneath him.
"And you call me eager."
"I never said I wasn't."
He laughed again and kissed my neck, pooling his tongue into the base of my throat.
"You are so incredibly sexy."
He took the tiara out of my hair and dropped it too the floor. He took out all the kinds holidng my curls together and they flopped down into a wavy mess.
"I like it like this."
I grinned and he went to my feet, slowly pulling off my shoes.
"You have such tiny feet."
"And you are incredibly gorgeous."
He just chuckled and laid next to me, his arm draped over my stomach.
"Roll over."
"No please?"
He tickled my stomach and play-growled at me.
"Nope, now do it."
I obeyed with a laugh and kept my face turned to the side. Edwards fingers played over my back, looking for some way to take off the dress.
"There's a zipper that's hidden at the very top, probably tucked into the fabric."
His hands went to the backs of my shoulders and moved downward, finding their way to my zipper.
"Ah, here."
He slowly moved the zipper down to my lower back and kissed the sliver of exposed skin.
"Your skin is so warm."
I shivered with impatience and he slid the straps away from my shoulders, kissing the backs gently.
"I love you so much Bella."
"I love you too," I whispered quietly.
I could feel the heat radiating from his skin as he slowly helped me out of my wedding dress. My bra and panties followed and he held me in his clothes, breathing softly.
"I don't think I can make myself leave tomorrow. It will have to be so early..."
"I'll wake up earlier."
"Bella.."
"I want to eat with you, I want to say good-bye."
He nodded and kissed my shoulder, letting his breath glide over me.
"You'll be able to, I promise."
He stripped away his shirt and I pressed my cheek against his stomach, my eyes closed.
"Hold still," he whispered to me.
I froze and waited with anticipation. His hand covered my eyes and something soft replaced it.
"Is that what I think it is?"
"Trust me."
"I do."
Suddenly, his warmth went away and I was left shivering alone on the bed.
"Edward?"
Silence answered me.
"Edward this isn't even close to being funny."
I wasn't lying, not really, but the knowledge that at any moment he could touch me, anywhere and I wouldn't know excited me.
"Edward?"
I sat up and padded carefully to the foot of the bed. My hands groped for the edges of the bed, making sure I wasn't falling off.
"Edward?"
I heard a noise to my left and I scooted, listening.
"Edward? Say something."
I moved again and I tumbed off the bed into warm arms. His hand was hot on my stomach and he put his mouth on my collarbone.
"Did you think I left?"
"You didn't say anything," I whispered, my pulse beating rapidly.
He only chuckled and put me back on the bed. His breathing was already hard and expectant and when he spoke, his voice was hoarse with need.
"Bella..."
"Yes?"
"Move over to the pillows."
I could only do what he said. His voice hypnotized me into a trance and made my skin rise. I felt him crawl over me and he kissed along my body. I felt the heat of his breath between my legs and I inhaled sharply. His hands went to my knees and he eased them open.
"Is this okay?"
"It is more than okay," I said breathlessly.
His mouth disappeared between my legs and I felt his tongue flick over my clit.
"Oh my god.."
It darted inside of me and I arched my back.
"Edward.."
He moved his tongue out of me and dragged it along my stomach, letting his body cover it. He kissed me softly and I felt him quivering over my opening. I could sense him staring at me as he slowly eased himself inside me, making my body shudder.
"I love you so much Bella..."
"I gasp love you gasp too..."
Our bodies moved in perfect sync with each other. Our voices carried through the room and I can only describe it as mind-blowing. A star became a sun and the world shifted as we finished together, our panting moans falling into harsh breaths as we collapsed on top of each other. He held me tight in his arms and I inhaled the smell of him.
"My wonderful, beautiful wife."
"My amazing, perfect husband."
"The engraving on the ring was incredibly kind of you darling."
"Huh?"
"Here."
He took off the blindfold and handed me the ring. I looked on the inside of the band and it said words I'd told Alice long ago about him.
"To say my world revolved around you would be an understatement. Nothing has ever been as important to me as you are. You never leave my thoughts and I love you more than anyone could fathom. You mean more to me than my own life Edward, I love you."
How did she remember? He turned my head so he could look directly into my eyes and he smiled.
"I could never get tired of looking into these, they're just so beautiful."
I blushed and kissed his lips gently, taking everything I could about him to memory. He touched my hair and licked the side of my neck with a grin.
"So, ready to go again?"
"Again? Edward!"
"You should answer, or I'll take that as a yes," he said with a soft chuckle.
I sighed and kissed down his chest with a playful roll of my eyes.
"I might be."
His hands went to the backs of my shoulder and I smiled, coming to where he was already at attention. I took him into my mouth and became lost in the sounds of his moans.

I won't go into detail because we all know Edward is amazing at everything. xD Basically, they have sex a lot to make up for the time he's going to be away. Anyway, links to photos of the shoes, rings, dresses, tuxes, and hairstyles in the wedding will be on my profile. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, more updates soon.
