I own Nada

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is to love and be loved in return.

BPOV

We stayed on the beach for over two hours taking so many pictures.

The first picture after the ceremony was with me in Edward's arms as he kicked up water with me giggling like a school girl.

Some of the pictures we took varied from either us in the water or on the sand. We even got a few kneeling, or laying both in the water and on the sand. Thank God for two dresses!

A few favorite pictures that we took that I cannot wait to see are the one where Edward wrote, I and drew a heart by my feet as he was crouched down.

Another favorite was a giant heart in the sand where we varied our posing from either laying down or standing in the heart, side-by- side or with me in his arms.

As Edward cradle me in his arm as we posed for our picture last picture

"Do you know in that dress you're a vision of the Goddess Aphrodite especially when you walk out the ocean shore?"

"Well if am Aphrodite the goddess of love who does that make you?" I said to him jokingly

"Your humble servant, who'll worship you and your body for all eternity."

I threw my head back in laughter while jumping out his embrace effectively pushing him down in the water.

As soon as he fell down I began running giggling as he began chasing after me.

Now why did I clumsy person like me decided to run Lord only knows, but just as I was about to fall Edward grabbed me at the waist turning me around into him. He did catch me but we both still went tumbling down in the sand with me laying on top of him.

"If I could fall like this all the time it'll save me so much ER trips." I mumbled into his chest

Edward kissed my forehead replying "You'll never have to worry about falling I'll always be there to catch you."

I rose up looking in his eyes "You're so cheesy Mr. Masen"

"That might be true Mrs. Masen but you still love me."

"Always" I breathed as he captures my lips and kissed with every ounce of his love and desire for me pouring in it.

We were so lost within our kiss we forgot we weren't alone until someone cleared there throat behind us ever so loudly.

I pulled away blushing looking over my shoulder to see the photographer and the entire wedding party grinning down at us.

My Maid of Honor helped me up laughing saying "save that for the Honeymoon tiger" as she winked down at Edward

Once Edward was on his feet he opens his arms to me and I walked into his embrace. Edward looked up to our wedding party with laughter in his eyes "Thank you guys for making our day even more special"

Everyone in our party pretty much stated "it should be us thanking you guys for making us party if your special day."

Sara came pulling me out of his embrace linking my arms with hers "okay lovebird's time to head inside and change out of these wet clothes."

Sara and I walked ahead of the others with Edward and the rest of the wedding party following behind us.

As we got to the top of the steps leading back up to the hotel, before we entered the lobby I turned to see someone looking hungrily at me that it sent a shiver through my body.

Edward must have seen me shiver because next thing I knew he ran up to me putting his blaze on me. "Cold love?"

I truly how Edward got when other men looked I'd flirt at me so I didn't even bother mentioning it.

After all who would blame the man for staring I was wearing an all white wet dress with my nipples at full attention.

We took the elevator up to our suites to change. Before walking into my suite Edward pulled me into him just holding me until he pulled away kissing me on my forehead. "See you soon my love"

I walked into my suite dazed. "Why with just a simply touch or kiss that man can turn me into putty?" I asked to no one in particular

My bridesmaids and maid of honor, just all began laughing at me. "Well I'm sure you have that same effect on him after that little stunt of the beach. Poor man was pitching a tent." Sara laughed

I could help but to laugh "My Sara I don't know what to do with you sometimes and his Best man sure is rubbing off on you."

"What can I say I love my muscle man and he rubs off on me in all the right places." I ended up throwing a pillow at her at her shaking my head after that comment

"What?" she asked innocently

Sara helped me out of my dress which was being sent off to get dry cleaned, and took my second dress out the garment bag.

Once the dress was on I stared dreamy like into the mirror admiring at.

It was a one piece light gold slim line gown with a plunging neckline with emerald cut jewels on the waist and straps. ( A/N see profile)

"Alright Bella, you're missing one more thing that will make you absolutely breathtaking."

I looked at her questionable as she bent down motioning for me to raise my leg as she fished under my dress putting my garter belt in place. I blushed and Sara just laughed at my reaction.

"I wonder" Sara pondered looking at me mischievous

"What?"

"Oh just wondering how red your going be tonight"

"Heck Sara your worst than that man of yours. Come on I don't want to keep my hubby waiting any longer." I laughed

As soon as we stepped into the hallway I heard someone whistle "God you're a vision."

I smiled turning around "you clean up well Mr. Masen" I said biting my bottom lip drinking in his presence

Edward looked like he just step out an Armani Exchange advertisement in his Armani suit

"Breathe Love" Edward whispered as he kissed me

"Alright Masen" Sara said in a warning tone

Edward and I asked at the same time "what did I do?"

Edward and I started walking forward throwing our heads back laughing.

"Cute guys real cute." Sara proclaimed

We all lined up to enter were the reception was being held and the Mc introduce us one at a time.

After Sara and the Best Man walked in Edward looped our arms together "Ready for this love?"

"I was born ready for this moment" tipping on my toes place a peck on his lips

"Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Masen"

We walked in smiling adorningly at all our guest.

We mingled with our family and friends before going to sit at our table just as the catering staff began to place champagne glasses I'm front of everyone.

Edward and just gazed into each other's eyes as the Mc for the evening spoke. I couldn't even tell you what he said no one else existed as I focused on him.

We were pulled out our staring contest by the Best Man clearing his throat and standing up.

"Oh god" I heard Edward mumbled

I put my arm around his waist leaning into as the speeches and toasting began

"Fornication……Excuse me." Edward and I just looked at each other wondering the same thing "Did he just say fornication?" I whispered leaning into Edward. Edward just shrugged while kissing me on the forehead.

"Fornication such as this…" The laughter began to erupt again as he spoke.

"For an occasion such as this I like to say good evening and thank you all for coming to celebrate the marriage of Edward and Bella. I wise man once said that the Best Man's speech should last as long as the broom makes love. Well thank you Ladies and Gentlemen for your time."

Emmett said while sitting back down in his seat. Everyone was dying with laughter and Edward was shaking his head mumbling "Why did I ask him to be my Best Man?"

"For those of you that don't know me, my name's Emmett McCarty, and for those of you that do... well I apologize.

Foolishly, Edward has given me the great honor of being best man for him on this very special day. I have one question though…if I'm the best man... then why did Bella get married to Edward?" More laughing erupted as Emmett paused before continuing

"I guess today, I am just an average man and Edward is the best man. In my extensive research to find out how to deliver a great best man speech, I learned that I am expected to sing the praises of the groom and tell you what a wonderful guy Edward is. Unfortunately, I'm a bad singer and a horrible liar."

I smiled lovingly at my husband. My husband I sighed to myself while resting my hand on his lap giving him a gentle squeeze as Emmett continue with his speech.

"Edward... Bella is a wonderful, beautiful, kind and good hearted person who deserves a great husband. Thank goodness you snapped her up before she found one.

I would just like to say a big "Thank you" to the bridesmaids because they have done a marvelous job in helping Bella, and look fantastic!!!!

In fact they are only eclipsed by Bella herself, who, I'm sure you'll agree looks absolutely stunning today. The groom however, just looks stunned."

As Emmett turned to us I mouthed "Thank You."

"Right now I would like to ask both Bella and Edward to take part in my speech. Bella will you please place your left hand on the table. Edward will you please place your right hand on top of Bella's

I would like to ask you both to keep your hands in this position until the end of my speech and believe me Edward you will regret it if you don't.

Now it's time for my second job, the speech, and this is the bit I've REALLY been looking forward to!!

Well, what can I tell you about the groom? I've known him for about 10 years; he's
Handsome, Intelligent, Witty, Charismatic…

Sorry, wrong wedding."

"Go easy on him Em" Someone shouted, Emmett just laughed and pointed at the person that said it.

"Instead of telling you a bunch of stories that can drag on forever, you will have to listen to my marital advice instead. I'm not sure I'm the best person to dish out advice! But I do have the following words of wisdom for the happy couple

Edward I have five things you should follow and you'll have a happy marriage;

First set the ground rules and establish whose boss - then do everything Bella says.

Secondly, Married Life Can Be Compared To Football ... so, Be Fully Committed Every Week And Make Sure You Score Every Saturday. Make sure you change ends at half time and don't put your tackle in too hard or you might injure yourself. However, Bella Assures Me That Playing Away From Home, Could Result In A Serious Groin Injury, And Is Definitely The Quickest Way Onto The Transfer List.


Thirdly, remember the 5 rings; the engagement ring, the wedding ring, the suffering, the torturing, and the enduring. Fourth, Don't forget, if you buy her flowers, she knows you're feeling guilty, and she will remember, to the second, the last time you bought her some ... AND the reason why! Lastly, there are three words you must never forget, "You're right dear." as opposed to "When in Rome"

Now Bella here's my advice for you too; for you I have the 5 key tips to a successful marriage.

You'll need a man who will treat you right and always stand by your side. A man who will shower you with gifts and compliments. A man who will comfort you in times of trouble. A man who will please you and grant your every request. Now here is the most important and final tip I have for you Bella, make sure Ensure that each man does not know the other ones names."

Edward laughed and looked at me with pouty lips as I gave him a peck on his lips saying "Aww baby you're all the man I need"

"But really Edward, you are one lucky man! In Bella you have found someone that is attractive, smart, funny and loving. And Bella, you have found in Edward?".... Emmett said as he faced us again and shrugged

"Have you still got your hands together? .... Good, good

I Spoke To Both Edward And Bella, Before The Wedding And I Asked Edward What He Was Looking For In Marriage - He Said "Love, Happiness And Eventually A Family."

When I Asked Bella The Same Question - She Replied - A Coffee Perculator!
Well, She Actually Said A "Perky Copulator" But I Knew What She Meant...

I now have a few messages to read out from those who couldn't attend and those who weren't even invited,

Dear Bella, Good luck on your wedding day, and I hope you spend many happy years together. But I will always wonder what might have happened between us had things worked out differently. Love Justin Timberlake

From the boys at the Golders Green Spice Club
Dear Edward, You forgot your thong and magic wand, we'll look after them for you

From the boys at the Golders Green Spice Club
Dear Bella, We've had Edward on trial here, we tried him in every position and he was useless. We hope you have more luck. From the boys on the football team.

The final and most important task, of best man knows when enough is enough and I think that that time has arrived as I look down at my girlfriend and see her with her head in her hands, wondering "what have I done"

Ladies and Gentlemen, I won't keep you too much longer so we'll move along with just a bit more piece of advice for the newly married couple:

Edward, never be complacent, always keep an eye out for those little tell tale signs in your relationship like if you see the milkman wearing your socks. Just remember; it only takes a couple of words mumbled in church and you're married. But it only takes a couple of words mumbled in your SLEEP and you're divorced!

Ladies and Gentlemen, before we finish, there are obviously two very important people here today, without whom very little of this would have been possible and the great thing is, as the evening progresses, most of us will get to spend more and more time talking with them. So please join me in a very special toast to the bar staff

Thanks for listening to this speech this evening and as I said to the woman I lost my virginity to, thanks for laughing. All joking aside, Edward you're a great guy and an excellent friend I remember so many laughs and good times we've had, I'm sure there will be many more to come. Thanks for giving me the opportunity, privilege, and honor of being you're Best Man.

Thanks again for letting me have the job! And I honestly couldn't wish for a better friend to be best man for. I think you will all agree that today, Edward truly is the best man and apart from Bella being the most stunning person in the room, she is also the luckiest.

Now, in case any of you are wondering why I asked Edward to place his hand on top of Bella's, I will tell you now. Edward ... as my final role, as my final role, it has been with great pleasure that I have been able to give you the last 10 minutes in which you will ever have the upper hand over Bella. It will almost certainly be the last."

Emmett turned to us then and winked


"Ok that's me done, now before it's time to get drunk, there are a few more speeches, but first, the Toast.

May your love be modern enough to service the times and old fashioned enough to last forever. Here is to Love, Laughter, and Happily Ever After, as Edward and Bella start their new life, Please stand and raise your glasses to Mr. & Mrs. Masen"

Edward stood up and patted Emmett on the back saying "Thank You man" which was followed by Emmett giving me a big bear hug whispering in my ear "Take care of him Bells"

"With all my heart Em" I vowed as I wipe away a fallen tear.

Sara squeezed my hand as Emmett handed her the mic.

Thanks to Emmett for his enlightening speech there. I think I speak for a couple of us who have learned something new about the groom there. I don't quite know how I'm going to follow what the best man said, but I'll give it a try. I'd like to start by saying thanks for the compliments but all the bridal party that are over a certain age are all spoken for, sorry!" She said winking towards Emmett.

"Well I for one I'm in favor of plenty of short speeches, because they inevitably lead to plenty of toasts. So I'm on my feet for two reasons: Firstly because my very dear friend has made a beautiful bride, and I want to say so and secondly because it gives me the chance to add to the toast count.

So I'll start with this, Emmett and I, the best man, do agree on two things: firstly, Bella, she does look fantastic, and the dress is amazing. I just feel sorry for whomever it is that's picking up the bill for it. Just kidding, Edward it wasn't too expensive, but the dress and your lovely wife combined look a million dollars. And secondly, I think we all agree that this couple is a match made in heaven - the perfect couple.

I've been Bella's best friend since we were little girls. I remember how we used to play dress-up and dream of the weddings we would have when we were grown up. I'm sure that the wedding that has taken place here today far surpasses the childhood dreams I know Bella had about her big day!

Bella is one of the most loving, caring, selfless and kindest person I've ever met. She has a fantastic sense of humor and a sharp wit -- so look out, Edward! All kidding aside, though, I couldn't be happier to honor my best friend on her wedding day.

To Edward and Bella, of all the years I've known the two of you, it's been evident that you would end up together. The love that you share truly is a blessing and how you both work hard in maintaining it truly serves as an inspiration for us all. May your marriage be blessed with lots of children, and I'm more than willing to be their godmother. Cheers!"

As the speeches continued more tears flowed freely. I always knew the depth of my love for Edward but it was moving to hear how others saw our love whether it was from someone within our wedding party, friends or family members. I leaned into Edward as he kissed away my tears. At the end of my mother's speech I rose and motion for her to give me the mic. To saw everyone in the room was shock when I did this would be an understatement because everyone in this room knows one fact about me I despite giving speeches with a passion but with everything everyone said, I just had to speak.

"No, pigs are not flying but the love each of you has given us has moved me so much that I just have to say a few words. I now normally the bride and groom give their speeches at the rehearsal dinner which Edward did last night but today's my day so I can do whatever the heck I want. I'd like to thank everyone who is here today for showing up to help me celebrate our wedding."

I reached for Edward's hands and gave him a peck on the lips which was followed by a bunch of awww's.

"To my beloved husband Edward, I love you so much. You cannot imagine how happy I'm to be your wife. Ever since the day you proposed to me, I've been walking on air, counting the minutes until I became your bride. Now that I have, I want to tell you that I will spend the rest of my life being the kind of wife you deserve. You're my best friend, my partner and my love, and I am honored to call you my husband.

To my maid of honor, Sara -- I can't thank you enough for all the things you've done for me! You've played such an instrumental part in the planning of this wedding -- I couldn't have done it without you! Ever since we were little girls, you've been there with your friendship and support. I remember as well how we used to dress up and pretend to be brides...and now I am! I love you like a sister and I'm so glad you're my friend!

I want to thank my mother for being the best parent a girl could ever want. I love you so much and I am so happy you are here to share my special day. It would take me a lifetime to repay all the kindness, support and love that you have given me.

And to my new in-laws, Edward Sr. and Elizabeth, I want to express how blessed I feel to become a part of your family officially. I love your son more than anything and will do my very best to be the best wife to him that I can be, and the best daughter-in-law to the two of you. Thank you so much for being here today and offering your love and support.

To my bridesmaids -- thank you all for being a part of my wedding. You all look so beautiful and I am so honored to have you here today. I'd like to give a big thanks as well to our ushers, as well as our beautiful little flower girl Leah and handsome ringbearer Seth. You guys did such a great job!

I too would like to propose a toast to everyone who has been so instrumental in making this day possible. So eat up, drink plenty and be merrier"

"Ladies and Gentlemen I'll like to draw your attention back to the lovely couple as they share their first dance as husband and wife. Now Bella, don't kill the message but there was a mix up with sheet music to the song you guys choose; however that dashing husband of sorted everything out, so please gave a warm welcome for the bride and groom as well as Christina Aguilera." I stood up with Edward and held my hand out walking out towards the dance floor giving Edward a questionable look; He just shook his head and twirled me into him whispering his love for me.

"You got Christina Aguilera to perform at our wedding" I stated as we began to dance to her version of 'At Last'

"Well I know we agreed on the Etta James version but I couldn't resist surprising you by having one of your favorite singers sing your favorite song. You're not mad are you?"

"I could never be mad at you especially with a surprise like this."I said motioning towards where Christina was standing singing.

We continued to sway in each other's arms as Christina sung to us.

Edward and I stop dance after awhile and just began to sway in our place as Christina still serenade us.

As the song came to an end, I was in tears. Edward manage to make a day that was already special and perfect better if that's even possible.

"Why are you're cry love?"

"You...you've made my dreams come true and words cannot even describe how happy I am right now. I truly do love you Edward with all that and I'm and all that I have to give."

"And you've made my dreams come true too love. And I know I'll shower you with love every day." He answered kissing me lightly

We were pulled out our bubble by the applause around us and Christina speaking "I want to congratulate the lovely couple and thank them for allowing me to be part of their special day. I know I signed up just to sing on song but as a gift to the couple I would like to sing one more later this evening."

The rest of the evening was spent dancing the night away with our friends and family. Once the bouquet and garter belt was thrown we shared our final dance with Christina Aguilera began singing Save Me from myself…..

A/N

Well my lovelies, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter because they'll only be one tender moment between our happy couple before it all goes to hell.

Some of you my notice that besides Bella and Edward, Emmett is the only one to make a appearance so far. The others will come in eventually and yes my namesake is the Maid of Honor. Hey a girl can dream right.

I'll have another update possible first thing tomorrow morning. The chapter is already written I just want to have happiness last a bit longer.

Till next time

Sara
