(Bella's POV)
The start of Jasper's vows confused me. But everything fell into place as he started singing. The song sounded somewhat familiar. And I remembered hearing Max singing the same lyrics at the top of his lungs once in the car, and liking the meaning of it at least.
But the song instantly became my favorite in that second that Jasper opened his mouth and sang:
My mental stability reaches its bitter end
And all my senses are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease someone called love
Not as long as there are girls like you
Jasper's eyes never left mine as he sang.
Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I wanna hurt myself
If anyone can hear me slap some sense into me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I loose my head or I bang it up against the wall
Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone
And lock myself up in a padded room
I'd sit and spew my guts out to the open air
No one wants to hear a drunken fool
The best part of the song came with the last verse, when he changed the original name in the last line, to my own.
I do not mind if this goes on
Cause now it seems I'm too far gone
I must admit I enjoy myself
Bella please keep taking me away
The room was silent and I could see Jasper getting nervous.
I gave his hand a reassuring squeeze and smiled, to let him know I knew exactly what he'd been trying to say.
Jasper relaxed and returned the smile. "I love you, Bells."
We were brought out of our own world by Carlisle saying, "You may now kiss the bride."
Jasper's smiled widened and he pulled me into his arms. But before he kissed me, I whispered, "Was this Alice's vision?"
His smile turned into a sly smirk. "Part of it." Then my train of thought was interrupted as he kissed me.
I was still dazed. Jasper's voice was still ringing in my ears. He grabbed my hand and led me back down the aisle and to the hotel suite.
Before I had a chance to step into the room, he lifted me into his arms and carried me across the threshold, setting me down in the suite.
"You should probably get ready for the party before Alice has a fit."
I nodded and turned to go change in the bedroom. But Jasper grabbed my hand and pulled me back.
"I love you," he said, kissing me for the second time in our married life.
I smiled. "I love you too. I'll be out in a minute."
I turned around and walked into the bedroom, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
Even though I changed slower than usual- I didn't want to accidentally rip my wedding or party dress- I was out faster than I would've been as a human.
Jasper was sitting on the couch, flipping through a magazine, when I walked back into the front room.
"How do I look?"
He looked up at me and smiled. "Like I'm the luckiest man alive."
I know if I were still human, I would've blushed. "Really?"
He stood up and pulled me into his arms. "Yes." He stepped back. "Bells, you're beautiful." He tucked a red rose bud behind my ear. "Are you ready for your first dance as Mrs. Hale?"
I giggled. "Of course."
He smiled and took my hand in his own. "Then let's head downstairs."
Jasper led me down to the same hall we were married in, but it had been transformed completely in the time we'd be upstairs. It was almost shocking, thinking about how fast Alice had changed every little thing around- of course, without ever messing up her hair.
I scanned the room and saw that a DJ had set up in the corner. After a closer look, I saw that the DJ was Max.
Jasper led me out to the center of the hall as Max cut the calm music he'd been playing. "Now it's time for Mr. and Mrs. Hale to share their first dance as a couple." He wasn't using a microphone, everyone could hear him clearly without one.
He began to play some slow dance music. I didn't recognize it until the singing started though.
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
I recognized the voice now. It was Jasper. He'd remixed the song we shared our first kiss too. Well, technically we kissed somewhere around "One Day I'll Fly Away" and then again after "The Elephant Love Medley" but I didn't care. "Come What May" is easier to dance to.
I thought that I might cry, despite being a vampire, as Jasper smiled and held out his hand.
"May I have this dance?" He asked, always the gentleman.
"Of course." I was surprisingly choked up.
He swept me across the dance floor as the music rose and fell.
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time
I knew I'd gone to heaven. "Thank you, Jazz." My voice was weak.
He chuckled. "I wanted this day to be extra special, better than a normal wedding."
The music faded and we just stood there staring into each other's eyes.
Then, not only Emmett, but Max as well, screamed, "Just kiss her already!" And then a few seconds later, they both let out cries of pain as their significant others smacked them upside the head.
Jasper and I both laughed before we shared the best kiss I've ever experienced- not including the one we shared at the alter.
I could hear Alice squeal before saying, "This was even better than my vision!"
I pulled back from the kiss to look at her. "This was your vision?"
She beamed and nodded. I turned back to Jasper. "Your decision?"
He grinned. "Uh-huh."
"That was the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me."
By now, Max had changed the music and pulled Alice onto the dance floor, closely followed by Rosalie and Emmett, Carlisle and Esme, and every other couple in the room.
Jasper smiled at me and pulled me closer as we started to dance to the music. The song sounded vaguely familiar... I think it was by Straylight Run.
Jasper sang in my ear softly, "Sing like you think no one's listening. You would kill for this, just a little bit, just a little bit..."
I smiled in contentment and closed my eyes, savoring the moment.
The song faded out and Jasper gave me a kiss on the cheek.
But then suddenly, "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?' blasted out of the speakers.
Jasper and I stepped off the dance floor and caught a glimpse at Emmett. He was twitching with excitement.
And the next thing I knew, he was doing a very poor excuse for a freak dance that only Emmett could pull off.
Jasper was trying to stifle a laugh, but he failed. He burst out laughing. "This song's good, but Emmett killed it with his shitty excuse for dancing."
Everyone was staring at Emmett, who was now the only one dancing. And then before I knew it, I was being pulled onto the dance floor by my crazy brother.
"Emmett, what the hell are you doing?"
"Oh come on! This song rocks! Have a little fun for once, Bella!"
I refused to dance with him and instead backed up off the dance floor while Emmett danced by himself.
When I was back by Jasper, he wrapped his arms around me from behind. "You know he's gonna make you dance eventually, right?"
I turned my head to look at him. "Yeah. I know. But for now just let me have fun laughing at him."
He laughed softly. "Okay then."
Emmett was having the time of his life, not caring that everyone else was laughing at him as he air guitared and danced like an idiot.
Once the song ended, Max was quick to change the song to get everyone back on the dance floor.
The song he picked was more fast paced- and it was The Beatles! (A/N: I got this idea while watching Across The Universe for the millionth time). Then I got the most brilliant idea.
I pulled Jasper out onto the dance floor while singing along with the song.
It feels so right now
Hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
and then I might
Never be the lonely one so
Hold me tight tonight, tonight
It's you, you, you, you
Being a vampire now meant one thing: I could actually dance. And I liked it. I didn't have to worry about tripping over my own two feet anymore.
I put my whole heart into that song. Jasper had worked so hard to make this wedding special for me, and I wanted to show him how much I loved him for it.
Hold me tight
Let me go on loving you
tonight, tonight
Making love to only you so
Hold me tight tonight, tonight
It's you, you, you, you
Oh no
What it means to hold you tight
being here alone tonight with you
It feels so right now
Hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
And then I might
never be the lonely one so
Hold me tight tonight, tonight
It's you, you, you, you
Oh no
What it means to hold you tight
Being here alone tonight with you
It feels so right now
Hold me tight
Let me go on loving you
Tonight, tonight
Making love to only you, so
Hold me tight tonight, tonight
It's you, you, you, you
The song came to a close and Jasper spun me around one last time before hugging me close to him and planting a kiss on the top of my head. "You have such an amazing voice."
I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder.
This day was perfect. Nothing could ruin it.
That was what I thought at least...
The double doors to the hall burst open and standing there in the doorway was a defeated looking Edward.
A/N: Ack! I'm soooo sorry it took so long to update! But I'm suffering from some writer's block... which reminds me. I have a new poll up on my profile so PLEASE vote!! It's important! Anyhoo, the songs were "80" by Green Day. The line that was changed was originally, "80 please keep taking me away" so yeah... anyways. Next song was again, "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge, and then about 2 lines from "Existentialism On Prom Night" by Straylight Run, then it was a bit of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, and lastly, "Hold Me Tight" by The Beatles. But I used the Across The Universe version... don't know if there's actually much of a difference, but whatever.
