"I feel perfectly fine!" I told Alice as she asked me, again, if I was feeling alright. We were in her bathroom, she had just finished putting my makeup on me and I was looking at myself in the mirror.
"Bella, you don't feel dizzy, nervous, scared? Where's the Bella we all know and love, the one that would be blushing like crazy right now?!"
"Um...hidden away with a metal chain and padlock on the door and I've hidden the key from her so she can't get out of her cage?"
"Bella!"
"Sorry. Guess my little shot at humor didn't go so well huh? Well, I thought it was funny," I laughed at myself.
Alice was fuming at me for some reason.
"Having mood swings, are we Alice?"
"No!" she snapped at me. "Where's the old Bella?! You would never make jokes when you were about to walk down the aisle. Oh, well. You'll be blushing as soon as you step in front of everyone."
She seemed happy with herself, "You're probably right Alice."
"Probably?!"
"Okay, you're right. There, happy now?"
"Very much so, thank you."
I rolled my eyes at her.
Okay, so I was getting ready for my wedding and I knew I needed to be serious, but really I was a nervous reck and I just wanted to joke around with Alice since I would be walking down the hall in a few seconds, with Charlie latched onto my arm in a tight grip that he would almost refuse to let go of. I knew it only because Alice had seen it happening.
"Ready to go Bells?" I heard Charlie ask from the door of the bathroom.
I nodded and moved forward carfully so I wouldn't trip. I put my arm through his and we walked down the stairs, which had a thin white carpet laid on them, making a path that we followed. I heard the music, not the wedding march, but my lullaby, playing as we entered the packed living room after Alice and Chrissy. Charlie led me down the aisle slowly, I smiled at everyone as I passed them, but then I looked up and met the eyes of Edward, in a black tux that made him look...there just weren't words to tell anyone how he looked at that moment. He smiled at me as I tried my best to keep my pace and not speed up so I would meet him at the alter early. Our eyes seemed to be locked together, it felt like I would never be able to look away from his eyes for...well, forever. And I knew I wouldn't have to.
It seemed like it was just me and Edward, it seemed like it took no time at all to get to the alter, I didn't even really notice when Charlie let go of my arm and handed me over to Edward. Our eyes were locked and our hearts for each other only, and that's the way it would stay. I didn't really hear the preacher speaking, just repeated the words without ever looking away from Edward, saying "I do," with the most joyous tears in my eyes. Before I knew it Edward leaned down a kissed me, I leaned in, kissing him back and breathing in the smell that always clung to him. But too soon it was over and he was lifting his face from mine and smiling at me teasingly while also getly and lovingly. I smiled back at him, and saw him smile wider, a smile of sheer happiness at seeing me so happy.
The reception was filled with all of my family, some people, that I didn't even remember, had seen me only a few years back in Pheonix. It must have slipped my mind.
There was cake, which the whole Cullen family, except for me of course, declined the cake and all the food at the reception, which I imagined they had because all of them besides Alice had gone hunting, she told me she had been hunting late last night with Jasper, but that he was still hungry, so he had gone with the rest of the Cullens to get his fill.
Wow, how cool is this? I asked myself. I'm now Mrs. Edward Cullen! I couldn't believe that I had put up such a fuss about this, it wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be, this was actually the best day of my life, or of what would be my very long life after Edward changed me.
We got to the airport just as our plane was leaving, Edward somehow got us to the plane just before the doors closed, I say somehow because he wasn't going as fast as he could, we were running at a human pace. Couldn't exactly use vampire speed when you were in an airport. Well I guess you could, but really we didn't want to scare the poor people in the airplane, just popping up out of nowhere. Actually that sounded like it would be pretty funny, watching their faces as Edward stopped, putting me down, with me in my wedding dress. But Edward wouldn't do it, no matter how funny it would've been, he wouldn't risk exposing what he was, and I was wrong to think that we could do that, now that I think about it that way... Yeah, not such a good idea.
We were off to our first destination of our honey moon.
(A.N. now you probably all know what happens during the honeymoon and everything, if you've read the book, and I mean why wouldn't you have read the book? Well I'm just not going to spoil that for ya if you haven't read it, and the people that have know what happens, and it would have been the same as the book anyway. lol.)
