Chapter Three: Perfect

I would be nervous too. "Edward is down there waiting for you." Alice's voice carried above all the other voices in the house. She was calming Bella down. She must have been nervous, lord knows I was.

She's so beautiful. My little girl all grown up. Renee was beside herself with joy. She wasn't much help in seeing Bella's face though. I could really careless what the dress looked like, I just wanted to see Bella's face again. After almost a whole day without seeing her was pure torture. I missed her dark chocolate eyes that often saw past my pretenses. I wanted to feel her, touch her again. I was going nuts. How much longer did Alice plan on torturing me. Or Renee for that matter.

I tried Charlie next. I'm going to miss her. It was so nice having someone in the house with me. I feel like I am never going to see her again. Damn no tears. Maybe no one will notice. No such luck, his eyes weren't even open. I guess I would just have to wait. Being patient was one thing I could do, or pretend to do.

Just then Rosalie came down the steps graceful and beautiful as ever. She like how everyone looked at her. She was already planning her next wedding. Only Rosalie and Emmett. Emmett wasn't about the show. He loved Rosalie more then anything. He would do anything for her, that much was obvious. That was one relationship I would never understand. They were complete opposites but couldn't exist without the other. I guess not much more different then Bella and me when you really looked at it.

I looked at the time. They were running late. Why was Alice doing this to me. She must have seen me fretting in one of her visions. Edward stop worrying. Two more minutes. Charlie isn't ready yet. Plus look, your patients, or lack there of will be rewarded. Damn that Alice. I think she was trying to kill me.

Her vision took me for a second. We were walking down the isle to the back doors. The sun was just setting. Our old lives were setting in the sun. Gone for good. We would walk out into twilight. The end of one day, and the start of a new. How appropriate. Bella was the brightest star in my life. Alice's vision would be romantic, something that we both would never forget no matter how long we lived.

Carlisle and me were standing next to the minister in front of all the guests when Rosalie started to play a generic song to let everyone know it was time to take a seat. Renee was escorted in first to her seat, followed by Esme. Both women were beautiful. Both were happy beyond reason, for two different reasons. Renee was happy because her little girl was getting married today, a little early but with someone who loved her. Esme was happy that I was getting married, after all these years, I found someone to complete me. These two ladies were going to get along great.

Rosalie was good I would give her that. The music was flowing from her fingertips. The song morphed into another song completely. It was Alice's turn to descend from the stairs. Only a couple more minutes and I would see my Bella again. See that beautiful face again. See the woman that loves me beyond reason. I wanted to hear her heart as close to me as possible. I didn't like being seperated from her, and knowing she was so close was making it worse. Sure enough Alice came down the steps in typical Alice fashion, graceful and excited. Dashing Edward. Get ready here she comes.

The music changed flawlessly. The wedding march started. If my heart were beating it would have been sprinting ready to beat right out of my chest. I only had eyes for Bella. Out of all the hearts beating in the room I heard hers the clearest. It was as if no one else was there. I just wish I knew what she was thinking, or maybe not. It was like she was designed for me. Made her perfect for me. Her looks, perfect. Her smell, to die for. Her ever quiet thoughts, to keep me coming back for more. The lack of self-preservation, so she could be near me. She was truly perfect, just for me. There must truly be a god.

I first saw her feet. Slow and steady as if she were concentrating. She must have high heels on. I smiled at the thought of needing to rescue her from those shoes. I almost laughed. As she came down the steps I could feel myself getting more excited and less anxious. As she stepped off the last step her eyes were still on her feet. Even though Charlie had his had wrapped very tight around her waist she was till being careful. I had to smirk at that. If she weren't careful we would spend our honeymoon night in the emergency room and not on Esme's island. If she were only looking at me. Just then, as if she could read my mind she looked up at me. I about ran down the isle, scooped her up and kissed her.

Carlisle must have know, he gently put his hand on my shoulder to hold me there. Just a few seconds more. I just smiled at her. Charlie gently squeezed Bella hand. Easy kiddo. Just a few more seconds. I guess I wasn't the only one who was ready to be back together again.

She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my long existence. Started with her shoulders. I wanted to save the eyes for last. I knew once I saw them I wouldn't be able to go any further. The white dress was perfect. It clung to all the right spots. Excentuating all the right curves. The lace blended in perfectly into the dress. It eloquently draped to the floor flowing into a five foot train flowing behind her. I looked up to her face finally. Her hair was exquisite, her smile lit up the room. The blush coloring her cheeks was mesmerizing, but not nearly as much as her eyes. It was worth the wait to see her like this. She was a princess this day.

Bella took my hand when her father handed it to me. I was home again. Everything would be perfect. She was perfect.
