SM owns what she owns…

--

I can't believe that Alice actually thought that I needed another dress. In my mind, one was enough but apparently Alice had a different idea…

Either way I can't take my eyes off the girl in the mirror draped in a Versace original. I have never seen anything so elegant on someone as simple as me. The hem landed just above my knee accented with the perfect beaded design. The ivory fabric clung to every curve of my body in just the right way being careful not to reveal too much. I knew Alice was mischievous but I never would have guessed this. The neck line dipped just enough to give Edward a peek as to what was yet to come.

Once again I descend down the stairs where Edward is waiting. The look of lust on his face makes me blush. He lowers his mouth to my ear; a low growl escapes from his parted lips.

"Bella, love, you have never looked so delectable. I don't think I will be able to last until the honeymoon."

By this time I am overwhelmingly bashful. Instinctly I bury my face into Edward's neck and softly brush my lips against his smooth, hard skin. At this moment I didn't think my cheeks could burn hotter until I hear Emmett roar with laughter.

"Do you two want me to go out and inform your guests that you will be a few more minutes…or hours?" Emmett chuckled as the smile grew even wider on his face.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. You shouldn't keep your guests waiting any longer its not polite." Esme instructed. "Carlisle, open the doors."

The doors swung open and a light breeze sweeps across my face. A million twinkling lights are perfectly placed in every tree. The reflection on the moon gleams onto the smooth surface of the dance floor. I finally put two and two together; the reason why Alice had me in another dress was because it was easier to dance in. But not even a dress could make something like dancing easier for me. Edward must have noticed the worried expression on my face; so he slowly wraps his arms around my waist pulling me closer against him and whispers into my ear, "Breath Bella, its ok. I won't let anything happen to you. I will be here the whole time."

I glance up at his perfect face and with a worried expression I whisper, "Ok, let's get this over with."

"I am very proud to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen." Carlisle announces to our small, intimate crowd.

Over everyone I hear Emmett whooping and cheering as if his favorite baseball team had just won the World Series. I see my mom hasn't stop crying and Charlie is standing towards the back with a proud look on his face. I couldn't tell if it was just the light or if he too was crying. A lump rose in my throat as I thought about never seeing any of these people after today. Maybe after a few years after I control my thirst I will be able to see them again. But I would look so much different. My thoughts were interrupted as Edward took a step forward towards our guests.

We find our way to the dance floor where Edward carefully lifts my feet onto his. We begin our first dance. It feels just right to be in Edward's arms sweeping across the dance floor. I can't concentrate on anything but Edward's eyes staring back at me.

"Are you having fun Mrs. Cullen?" Edward whispers in my ear.

"That will take a while to get used to."

"We have a while," he reminds me. He leans down and slowly kisses me while we dance.

I felt the familiar heat of Jacob's body as he came and tapped Edward on the shoulder.

"She promised me a dance, so there is no need to rip my head off."

"I promised Alice a dance anyways." Edward leans down to kiss me one more time, with more passion than expected. A low whimper escapes from my lips. I hear Jacob's annoyed sigh as Edward pulls away, brushing his hand across my cheek as he struts away. I wrap my arms around Jacob's neck and he secures his arms around the small of my back. We slowly begin to sway back and forth to the music.

"Let me guess, Alice picked that dress out too."

"Be nice Jacob. She is just doing this because she cares about me and wants this day to be perfect."

"You know that if this was our wedding you could have got married in your favorite sweats."

"Jacob, I am married to Edward now. I think it's in your best interest if you behave."

"That's not going to stop me. I am not giving up."

I roll my eyes and the only response I can think of is, "whatever."

When the song is over I begin to pull away to go find Edward, but Jacob doesn't loosen his grip on me.

"Bella, don't go. I really need to talk to about something."

"What is it Jacob?"

"Are you really sure that you want to become a vampire."

"Jacob, we have had this discussion a hundred times. I have made up my mind. I can't live without Edward and he can't live without me."

"Well that's a little selfish if you ask me."

"And what are you being right now. You don't want me to become a vampire because you want me for yourself. Well I am sorry but my heart belongs to Edward."

"I am sorry but I am not asking you to change who you are to be with me."

"Neither is Edward. This is my choice. Edward isn't exactly jumping for joy at the fact of changing me. But he loves me, and is doing what I want."

"Bella, I really think that you will look back and regret the decision to become a vampire."

"No I won't. Edward and I meant to be together for more than one lifetime. This is how it's supposed to be. And I am sorry if it doesn't thrill you."

"Bella, please."

"Nope. End of discussion."

"Ugh. You are so stubborn."

"Take a long look in the mirror Jacob. You are too."

Right as the song ended Edward was at my side. Jacob gave me a hug goodbye and Edward's arms replaced Jacob's. Another song begins and Edward buries his face into my hair. This moment was stopped short when we hear Alice call my name.

"Mrs. Cullen, are you ready to go on our honeymoon?"

I simply look up at Edward with a huge grin on my face. He secures his arm around my waist and we walk towards the house.
