"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved – loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." – Victor Hugo
Epilogue
This year had been crazy. I'd found my Emmett, my husband, my love. Who I'd thought had been dead for years. I meet his family. I live with them. I love them. I saved his brother's love. And yet we're all still close.
"She's here!" Alice called. We ran down stairs and Bella was here. Renee and Esme were still putting the finishing touches on things. Jasper and Emmett were helping. Edward just kind of waited around.
"Come on Bella!" Alice gushed. I was there to make sure Alice didn't go over board. We fixed Bella's hair and did her make up.
"How are you feeling Bella?" I asked.
"I'm excited and nervous…" She smiled.
"Get the dress?" Alice asked. I hurried out into Alice's room. The dress was beautiful; Bella hadn't seen the finished product so this would be her first time seeing it. People started to arrive. Renee and Charlie came upstairs.
"Bells?" Charlie said from outside the door.
"I'm putting my dress on." She said. We helped her get it on and then we opened the door.
"You look beautiful Bella." Charlie smiled. We'd curled her hair and put a little bit of eye shadow on. And red lipstick. Charlie gave her a hug. Renee came in and they gave Bella a beautiful necklace.
"Thanks." She whispered.
"Bella we'll meet you downstairs." I whispered. We let her be as we walked down stairs to be with everyone. Alice walked down holding some flowers. Then I followed. A few minutes later Bella came down stairs. She was beautiful. Emmett grabbed my hand. Edward waited at the bottom of the stairs. He hooked his arm with her and they walked out into the back yard.
The ceremony was sweet.
"Bella, I… I mean, I'd written something down but I can't remember it anymore. So, it's simple I love you. You're my life now." Edward said. Bella smiled. I looked at Emmett.
"Don't cry." He whispered. I grabbed his hand.
"I love you Edward." She whispered back. I started to cry. I glanced up at Alice who was the maid of honor and she had tears streaming down her face.
"Isabella Swan will you take Edward, in sickness and in health?" asked the priest.
"I do." She smiled. He placed the ring on her hand.
"And you do Edward Cullen take Isabella Swan to be your wife?" The priest asked.
"I do." She smiled.
"You may know kiss the bride." Edward leaned in and kissed Bella. Everyone started clapping.
There was dancing and pictures being taken. Emmett and I danced.
"Lorelai… Emmett! Pictures." Alice sang. We all stood together even Charlie and Renee in the picture. The photographer finished up and we danced the night away.
Edward had gotten his happily ever after.
"What are you thinking about?" Emmett asked.
"How they seem so happy…" I whispered I looked up at him.
"I'm glad… he deserves it." Emmett said. I looked up at him, "So do you." He laughed. "I have mine." He whispered and kissed me.
The end… I hope I didn't disappoint. Please review. I might do more like after the honeymoon… see what everyone's been up to… but only if you guys want. I'd like to dictate this story to two people Firstly, Davis Parker who has helped me edit every chapter. And Secondly, Screaming Bubbles… who has been with this story the whole way. Thank you.
*If anyone has any ideas for if I should continue this by doing a chapter or two on when Edward and Bella get back from the honeymoon to show what's happened just comment me or something.
Thanks again!
