Well, it was finally done. Edward was now a married man, and our family was completed at long last. Alice and Bella had done a great job putting everything together. The wedding was beautiful, and every detail was perfect. Here we were in the receiving line, greeting all the guests. The emotions were running high and all over the place.
I was getting happiness, envy, lust, and hostility. The happiness was mostly coming from our family and some friends. The envy was coming from guests and one member of the Denali clan. The lust was coming from Bella and Edward mostly, which was very understandable. It was also coming from some of their former classmates; and it was ridiculous, as was the hostility coming from Tanya.
"Man, this is so damn boring," Emmett said from right beside me, although too low for the humans to hear.
"It'll be over soon, just grin and bear it like the rest of us; at least, you don't have to hear thoughts like Edward or feel all their emotions like me, so consider yourself lucky," I told him.
"Yeah, I think that would really suck, but surely there's something we can do to liven this party up. I'm bored out of my mind," he said.
I nodded acknowledging that I heard him and agreed. Just then, Jessica Stanley was coming up. The feelings of longing and lust were rolling off of her in waves. I couldn't help myself, so I discreetly punched Emmett to get his attention. He looked and gave a big grin knowing what I was about to do.
When Jessica got to Edward, I hit her with a big dose of bravado causing her to wail out, "Oh Edward!" Then, she fell on her knees at his feet.
Emmett was cracking up and so was I, but it was even funnier when she grabbed onto Edward's pants and began ranting.
"Edward please, it's not too late. You can still get this annulled and run away with me. Please Edward, I love you!" she was screaming now.
Emmett and I now shook with laughter as Edward stood there trying to get Jessica to shut up and looking stunned, as well as thoroughly embarrassed. Bella turned around to see what was going on, and she looked as if she didn't know whether to get mad or laugh.
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley came over and apologized profusely to Edward, Bella, and our parents before getting Jessica and leaving quickly. They were mortified that their daughter had just made herself and them the laughing stock of Forks. After they were gone, everybody whispered and talked about it most of the evening. It was hilarious.
"Oh man, that was some kind of funny, Jazz. I wish I did have your power sometimes," Emmett said.
"I'd be scared of you then. That would be as bad as God giving Jim Carrey his powers for a day," I replied.
"Hey, that was a good movie," Emmett quipped.
After the receiving line and speeches, it was time for the dances.
Rose came and dragged Emmett off to the dance floor. I had to go rescue Bella from Mike Newton. We had made a family pact that we would keep Tanya away from Edward and Mike Newton away from Bella.

Everything was running smooth again after the Jessica Stanley scene, which was so damn funny that if I could have cried I would have had big fat tears rolling down my cheeks. But nothing could top the next thing that happened. I laughed so damn hard, my sides should have split open.
Edward and Lauren were dancing; Jasper and I were standing off to the side. Bella was dancing with Carlisle, and Esme was dancing with Charlie. I looked at Jasper and he looked at me and grinned and nodded toward Edward and Lauren. All of a sudden Lauren lunged at Edward. She attempted to jump up and wrap her legs around his waist, and Edward leapt backwards at the same time. Lauren fell on her ass at Edward's feet.
Edward was about to explode; Lauren was beet red, and her parents came running over in an uproar. Jasper and I were busting at the seams laughing. It was a good thing vampires didn't cry or have to pee, or we'd be just as embarrassed as Lauren and her folks.
Lauren's parents gathered her up and took her away just as Jessica's had done. It was the perfect way of getting back at them for messing with my brother and new little sister. They had worked hard to get where they were, and they deserved to be happy.
The rest of the reception went smooth until Tanya pulled her stunt. That was definitely not funny, not even to me. It just showed how sick in the head she was.
