A/N: Sad but true- we have reached the end of our story :( I would like to thank all of my readers and reviewers for sticking with me through this journey. I would also like to thank my fabulous beta, Ginginlee, who helped make this amore enjoyable!

Sadly Twilight doesn't belong to me…

More at the end about my next projects…

Chapter 33- Two Brides

I watched as Jasper gracefully floated down the stairs with Esme on his arm, looking like the picture of perfection. Then, Emmett towered over my mother, gliding down the stairs and the aisle to my seat. Although I could see the chairs perfectly well, someone had put a very strategically placed and large arching arrangement at the front of the platform, completely obscuring my view. I had large suspicions that Alice was the culprit. Then Ness and Jacob walked down the aisle as members of the wedding party, looking at each other lovingly knowing they would get to make this trip in a couple hours under a very different set of circumstances. Alice and Rose made their ways down on their husbands' arms, looking sweetly at one another.

I looked at Charlie and he gulped and said, "Bells, don't let me fall."

I laughed lightly and whispered, "Dad, I'm a vampire - that means grace and strength. You have nothing to worry about."

Slowly we made our way down the staircase. As I stepped down, more and more of the platform came into view. At first, I saw shoes, then legs, the torsos, then upper bodies, until finally I could see faces.

My eyes locked into Edward's the moment I found him and I stopped in my tracks. Edward's jaw dropped and he gasped in a breath and then stood there unmoving. Edward was in a black tuxedo, cut as if it had been made for him setting off his perfect pale skin and gorgeous copper hair. He had a look of total shock and awe and I was amazed to know it was for me.

Finally, he pulled his mouth closed and his face blossomed into his perfect crooked smile as he said at vampire-only hearing levels, "Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty- Death cannot part true love, only delay it for a while. I love you my beautiful Bella, my bride."

I smiled as I recognized both quotes, one from one of my favorite movies and the other from one of my favorite books, both perfect for two vampires who had already faced death on their wedding day. I slightly squeezed Charlie's arm and started up the aisle as Rose began to play a reworked version of my lullaby that I had never heard before. This still had the same peaceful perfect melody but somehow the spirit behind it had changed. Instead of a melancholy infused into it with the lack of resolution, there was a sense of joy, peace, and happiness that brought the song to life, and made it feel finally complete. I finally stopped under the archway, Charlie handed me over to my Edward in a motion as eternal as time and together, Edward and I walked up the platform towards the minister.

We had contemplated doing our own vows, and had finally decided against it, opting instead to use the traditional ceremony with the exact wording that would have been used if Edward had been married in 1918 instead of the 21st century. Edward and I looked into each other's eyes, reciting after the minister and occasionally speaking so low that no one could hear us. I pulled my shield down a few times and overwhelmed him with my thoughts, letting him see exactly how much I loved him directly.

Finally, Edward took my hand and slipped my engagement ring off my finger. This was the only alteration to the ceremony we had made.

Edward took a thin band with tiny diamonds fitted into it and said, "This ring is for the day so many years ago when you promised to be mine. This ring is my mother's engagement ring that I put on your hand after fate brought you back to me and you swore to be mine again forever."

Then he pulled out another band identical to the first and said, "And with this ring, I thee wed."

I took my hand, gently cupped his cheek momentarily, and then turned to grab his rings from Alice.

I turned to Edward and took out the first wire-thin band and carefully pushed it onto his hand and said, "Edward, this ring is for loving me even when everything was against us."

Then I grabbed a thick hammered white gold ring and said, "This ring is for the fact that you never stopped loving me, even when there was no hope, only despair, and yet still not giving up your love for me."

I smiled at Edward, took a third wire width band, and reverently placed it on his finger as I said, "And with this ring, I thee wed."

Then the minister said the words that made it official and finally sweetly said, "Edward, you may kiss your bride."

Edward's whole face lit up with joy as his perfect crooked smile stretched across his face before he lowered his face and pressed his lips into mine. I threw my arms around him and deepened the kiss for a moment before backing off and ending it sweetly. All around us, I knew that there were catcalls, clapping, and cheers, but I couldn't bring myself to stop looking at my Edward, my husband. I smiled as we turned our bodies to face the crowd, our eyes never leaving the others. We heard the minister introduce us Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen, and then we glided down the aisle with grace and back through the doors of the house, greeting our guests would have to wait.

Edward grabbed my hand and moved at vampire speed to his bedroom. The moment I was through the door, he locked it and picked me up off the floor holding me at arms' length above his head spinning in dizzy circles around the room.

I smiled at him and said, "Won't Alice be looking for us, love?"

He smiled back and said, "We have a few minutes. Ness is distracting her."

I smiled and Edward turned to his stereo and pushed play. Then, pulling me towards him, the first notes of Claire de Lune filled the air and we danced to them together, reveling in our first moments together as husband and wife.

The moment the last note ended, Alice came knocking on the door and we both growled in her direction, not wanting to be split apart.

Alice knocked again and said, "Bella, I need you out now, you don't want to miss your daughter's wedding, you two. Let's go!"

I groaned and reluctantly removed myself from Edward's arms and opened the door to Alice. Alice grabbed my hand and rushed me from the room. At full vampire speed, Alice had me out of my dress and into her bathroom, quickly unpinning my hair as she went. In the chair next to me, Rose was frantically throwing Nessie's hair into a more formal and bridal updo. Alice finger brushed out my curls and then using the two combs secured the front section of my hair back, creating a soft and romantic look very befitting of the matron of honor who also happened to be the mother of the bride.

Then Alice quickly removed the bridal makeup and applied something more fitting to my dress and then pointed at the next room and said, "Get dressed, now, and then get Nessie's gown ready to go."

I nodded and went into the next room and slipped into my dusky blue gown. I laid out Nessie's dress, and Ness was immediately rushed into the room and the dress was put on her.

Alice quickly put her jewelry on and yelled out. "We're ready, boys."

I took Nessie aside and opened the door to Edward who was holding a black wooden box in his hands. Edward opened the box gently and revealed our gifts to our daughter. Edward had written a wedding march for our little one and I had placed a small delicate bracelet that had diamonds spaced across a delicate chain and a small heart shaped charm that said, To our miracle child, our Renesmee. Love, Mom and Dad. Nessie gasped and threw her arms around both of us. Alice abruptly appeared in the room, fastening the bracelet around Nessie's wrist.

I smiled and pulled down my shield and thought at Edward, "Apparently today is the day for jewelry."

Edward laughed and squeezed my shoulders as I pulled my shield back up.

Then Edward held his hand out to his daughter and said, "Shall we, my Renesmee?"

Nessie smiled and took her father's arm. I stepped down and linked my arm through Carlisle's, who was on loan from Esme since my husband was otherwise occupied. The other two girls walked down on their husband's arms again. Then I walked down on my father in law's arm and tried to suppress a giggle when I heard the whispers about how perfect the whole family looked and their jealousy, and I thought to myself, if they only knew the heavy price of this perfection. I reached the podium and stood in my appointed spot, Carlisle going to join Esme in the chairs. Ness had insisted that the bridesmaids and groomsmen stand together. Edward and Nessie started their movement down the stairs as a light, sweet and poignant melody filled the air. Every note embodied all that our daughter was as a young woman, and I smiled at how perfectly Edward's piece had turned out.

Finally, Ness and Edward reached the arch where Jacob stood waiting for his bride.

The minister asked, "Who gives this woman to this man?"

At a volume low enough only for supernatural ears, Edward said with reverence, "Her mother and I."

Then loud enough for the crowd to hear he said, "Her family does."

Then Edward tenderly put our Nessie's hand into Jake's, and held them together for a short moment before walking over to wrap his arms around me.

Edward and I stood there and watched as our daughter said her vows and exchanged rings with her husband. Then they went through a more traditional Quileute version of the ceremony before ending with the official proclamation, and their first kiss as husband and wife. After introducing them, they walked down the aisle hand in hand and into the house with their family right behind them.

After one more quick costume change into simple, but elegant, white gowns, Nessie and I went out to join our husbands and to attend the reception. The moment we got outside, we saw the wedding area had been transformed into a romantic reception. The moment they saw us, the dance floor cleared and the music stopped. Edward and I made our way to the floor with Ness and Jacob following behind us. I took Edward's hand and we began to dance together, the whole world melting away, allowing us to just be Edward and Bella.

After a moment, I gasped as I recognized the song and Edward chuckled into my ear and whispered, "You remember, love?"

I smiled at him as I recognized the song that had been playing in the restaurant in Port Angeles the night Edward had saved my life and we had fallen in love. All too soon, Charlie was tapping on Edward's shoulder, and Edward smiled before releasing me to my father and moving towards Nessie for their own father/daughter dance.

The rest of the night flew by quickly. Edward and I shared a drink of 'wine' that was really mountain lion blood and begrudgingly shoved cake in each other's mouths, turning to spit it out into a container at vampire speed when no one was looking to save us from having to retch it up later. Then, I climbed the stairs and went out onto the back balcony throwing my bouquet out the window at the still single women. I laughed when Jessica Stanley of all people caught it and she smiled sheepishly at Mike Newton, who smiled lovingly back. It was good to know that Mike and Jessica had moved on together. Once I got back downstairs, Edward sat me in a chair on the platform, got whistles and hoots when he carefully pulled my garter off with his teeth, and flung it purposefully into Mike Newton's face. I laughed and pulled Edward onto the dance floor with me and we floated together lost in our bliss.

All too soon, Alice came up and said, "Guys, it's time to go."

I smiled and walked into the house with Alice and Ness to change again into a deep blue flowing dress, as Nessie changed into a matching purple one. Ness and I joined our husbands at the door as the crowd got ready with the rose petals they were throwing outside. Nessie and Jake ran for my Lamborghini first, and then Edward and I ran for the Aston Martin, as dark red rose pedals rained down around us. Edward leaned over and kissed me before starting the car and driving off into the start of honeymoon and our happily forever after, with Nessie and Jake following just behind.

Thank you all!

I would love to see a ton of reviews for this chapter since it is the end

The other side of the story is in progress- I am currently working on Edward's perspective but it will include the certain things from other characters as well. I am working on it as hard as I can while also working on a fantasy novel. I hope to have Cause and Effect done before I finish getting Consequences on twilighted… More soon- add me to your favorite authors so you know the moment I get the other side of this one online!

Thank you again, you have no idea how much I appreciate all the time you have spent reading and reviewing my story :)
