I stood in the middle of my parent's beautifully decorated backyard. There were candles standing on top of pillars, tables surrounding the dance floor I was standing on, and little lights were hanging above my head. "Wow" was all I could think.
"Alice how did you put these lights up here? Do you have magical powers that I didn't know about?" I reached up and touched one of the lights hanging directly above my head.
"Don't touch that!" She screeched. "It took me hours to put those up. I didn't think the workers would do that good of a job, so I had to do it all by myself to make sure it was perfect."
I shook my head in awe, "You definitely outdid yourself."
She walked around me, straightening the utensils, pushing chairs in, even looking to make sure there was no dust. "Well, this is a very special moment for you two; it is special for all of us. It is like a sigh of relief, you two getting married. We have been so anxious all these years, wondering if you guys will ever end up together." She walked up to me and straightened my bow tie, "And now you two are finally together. Don't run out on her like you did to Lucy."
I pushed her hand away and continued walking around. She followed after me, standing on her toes so she can reach my hair, "Your hair is such a mess, Edward."
"Bella likes it."
"Bella has no say in this. Her fashion sense is just as much of a mess as your hair is. She would be wearing sweats instead of a wedding dress if she could."
Her name brought a smile to my lips. It seemed like it had been days since I last saw her. "She looks beautiful doesn't she?"
"She looks gorgeous. Of course, I am a miracle worker. Not that Bella is ugly or anything, it is just so hard to get her to agree to wear any amount of makeup."
She walked down a white carpet and stood underneath an arch. "This is where you will stand, but you will walk down once everyone is seated. It would be awkward having you stand there from the beginning. Alright, well you should go inside, guests will be arriving soon."
Emmett put his hand on my shoulder, trying to calm me down. "A couple years from now you are going to be wondering why the hell you were nervous on your wedding day. You are going to wish you had left when you had the chance," he whispered.
I shrugged his arm off and he started to laugh. "Oh don't tell Rose that, she would kill me. You know how she is now awadays. She would just blame it on her pregnancy and mood swings and probably get away with it."He stopped laughing once the music started.
Rosalie and Alice walked down first, Rosalie wobbled more than walked. They were both wearing royal blue backless dresses. That was definitely not Bella's taste. My eyes averted back to the entrance of the house when I heard everyone turn around in their seats. My eyes widened as I took in the angel before me. Time seemed to completely stop, people disappeared. I didn't even notice her father's proud smile as she clung to his arm. My eyes were for her and only for her.
Once she felt like she could walk without looking at her feet, she looked up, her eyes immediately meeting mine. She was walking way too slow, I wanted her near me. I had to stop myself from running up to her, grabbing her, and running away.
Ten agonizing seconds later, she was standing next to me. "Hey," she smiled.
"Hi," I smiled back. I grabbed her hand and held it tight, my nerves suddenly fading.
The first part of the wedding flew by. Then we got to the vows.
I looked away from the priest and grabbed both of Bella's hands. This was just mine and her moment. I tried to ignore all of the eyes that were boring in to us.
Once Bella's eyes met mine, I completely forgot that we weren't the only ones there. "Bella, I am so lucky to be marrying my best friend. I once said that it is very rare for two soul mates to find each other at such a young age, I still can't believe my soul mate has been with me from the very beginning. You are my other half, the one who took my hand and went through everything with me, the one who never gave up on me, and the one who completely understood me. You're beauty; love; kindness; and gentleness inspire me to be the best person I can be. I promise to love you and cherish you every single day of our lives.
Tears started rolling down my face and I quickly wiped them away with a little laugh.
"Edward, I love you." Everyone started laughing thinking that that was the end of her vow. I wouldn't mind. I could live forever with just those words.
She gave an embarrassed giggle and then continued. "It's amazing how much we have said those words, without ever realizing the truth and depth to them. Well, I am so glad we finally realized. There is no one else I would rather spend my life with. I promise to stay with you till the very end. To be with you when you are in need, to cry with you, to have fun with you, and to grow with you in mind. I promise to love you for better and for worse, with all I have to give, in the only way I know how – completely and forever."
How was I so lucky to have her?
"Edward this is crazy!" Bella shrieked once we walked into the hotel room. I couldn't help but smile at her. We were married. She looked so cute in the soft pink spaghetti strapped dress she was wearing – Alice's doing, of course.
I walked over and wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. She fell into me right away. "Bella, it is our honeymoon. I am in Bora Bora with the one woman I love. I am not crazy; I just want to give you the best.
"I would be fine with Florida."
Of course, Bella always wanted the simplest things. "For once can you not complain about how much I spent? It is our honeymoon." I paused I didn't know if I should continue, but it is better to get it over with now than later. "And there's a lot of other stuff left for you to see." I muttered.
She turned around and poked me in the chest. "Are you telling me that you spent more money on me? Is having a hotel room in the water not enough for you?"
"Nothing is enough when it comes to you." I lowered my head and kissed her hair, the smell of strawberry shampoo enveloping my nose.
"Fine I won't complain, but you can't spoil me too much. You don't want me getting used to it."
"Alright, alright. Let's see the rest of this place.
I held her hand as we walked around the living room. We went up the three little stairs to the bedroom and Bella gasped. Standing in the middle of the room was a white king sized bed with rose petals. The balcony next to it held the most beautiful view of the ocean, with stairs leading down to the water. Bella showed no interest in the balcony, her eyes still on the rose colored bed.
I tugged at her hand but she still didn't move. "Don't you want to see the rest of this place?"
She turned towards me, but she still showed no interest in anything else. Her face started to redden. "How about…we spend the rest of the day right here?" She nodded towards the bed.
That was all I needed. I gave her hand another tug and she willingly threw herself against me. My hands went to her neck and then through her long silky hair. Her hands slowly and shakily unbuttoned my shirt – the whole time kissing me with the fiercest passion. I took my lips off hers to give her some air and she gave a small whimper. I couldn't help but smile. I still couldn't believe I had the same affect on her as she had on me. She brought my face back to hers when she had successfully taken my shirt off. Her hands sliding up and down my chest, the fire in me growing bigger and bigger. Our breathing started to get more erratic, our bodies yearning for each other. We continued kissing, clinging onto each other, letting our bodies take control until we both knew we couldn't contain it any longer. Finally giving into what we had been waiting for.
"Edward, wake up." I came back to consciousness, feeling the massive bed underneath me. It wasn't the bed I had been dreaming about, but it was good enough. The warm hand touched my chest which brought a smile to my face. After one year, I still didn't get sick of that touch, or that voice that sounded so annoyed at the moment. "I know you are up. I can see that smile." I squeezed my eyes shut and she started to giggle as she slapped my chest. "Come on. You can't just lay there and dream all day. We have to go. Go get showered."
I opened my eyes and Bella was standing over me with wet hair and a towel wrapped tightly around her. "Mmmm." I mumbled.
She blushed, still not used to the fact that I found her beyond desirable. "No not now. We have to go." I ignored her, putting my hand behind her thigh and pushing her towards me. "Edward, come on. We are going to be late." I took my hand off her thigh and wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her down on top of me. She tried to push herself off of me, but I quickly gave her a warm kiss.
"Morning," I breathed her in.
Her anger quickly disappeared as a smile replaced the frown. "Good morning." She kissed me back. "I would love to do this the whole day, but Rosalie will bite our heads off if we don't go," her lips were still hovering over mine.
I lifted my head and kissed her again. "It's just a birthday. They will live."
"It's Carmen's first birthday."
"It's our one year anniversary."
"It is your brother's only daughter's birthday."
"It is the day we got married."
She gave me a stern look and then got up. "She is a one year old. Her party won't go past two pm. She will probably fall asleep before that. I promise you that we will do something afterward, but right now, the whole family is over there and they will kill us if we do not show up."
"Why did they decide to have her on our wedding night?" I complained.
"Just be happy it was our wedding night and not our wedding day."
"Bella, you wanted Rosalie to have her on our wedding day. I saw the way you were staring at her stomach, like you were willing it to open up and have Carmen walk right out." I got up and walked towards the bathroom.
She shrugged, "you can't blame me. I wanted to have our first dance, but I knew that mine and Charlie's father daughter dance would be a nightmare, and it was."
She was right about that. The whole two minutes her and Charlie danced was made up of them tripping over each other and Charlie stepping on Bella's dress, or Bella stepping on Charlie's feet. I turned back towards the bathroom.
"Oh, wait." She took a step towards me before I closed the bathroom door. "Happy anniversary. I love you."
I couldn't just shut the door and continue with my shower after she said those three words. The three words that would constantly make my heart jump. I ran over to her and pressed my lips against hers. "I love you too…so so much." My nose skimmed her cheek and her breathing got louder.
"Ok, go shower right now or we will never get out of here," she whispered.
"I don't want to get out of here." I put my arms around her and pulled the towel down.
"Don't you feel guilty about this?" She asked in between the kisses. She must have felt guilty, but not enough to stop.
I looked up and shook my head. "I never feel guilty when I am doing stuff with you."
She closed her eyes and sighed. "You really need to stop saying stuff like that."
"What?" I went back to kissing her neck, not really interested in the answer.
"Because you know that I always fall for stuff like that." She let out a moan when I brought my lips back to hers.
"Exactly." I gave her a devilish grin as I pushed her back on the bed.
So I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. The first half was just Edward dreaming about when him and Bella got married and then the honeymoon. And then the rest is self explainable. I will try to get the second chapter up soon, but I don't know how fast that will be. And I will try to make it long :)
Oh and I think this whole story will be in Edward's point of view. Maybe a chapter or two in Bella's but mostly it will be in Edward's.
