Age 25
EPOV
Bella and I had been happily dating for a year now and living together for eight of those months. Some people may say we rushed living together, but I knew I could not go one minute without her by my side.
Tomorrow night was our official anniversary of the night we kissed in my apartment. The weather outside was cold but I can assure you Bella and I kept ourselves warm that night. That was also the first time we made love, and we could not get enough of each other. Bella's body was beautiful, insatiable, every positive adjective I could think of.
I have planned a special date for us in our meadow and Alice has been the perfect participant in my plans. I think her brand new happiness has come from her newfound relationship with Jasper. One double date between the four of us and they were inseparable and it was easy to see how happy they made each other.
I have provided Alice with strict instructions to bring Bella to our meadow blindfolded where she will meet me and hopefully she'll love it. I hope so. I don't know what I would do otherwise. The ring you ask? Well it's a family heirloom. I know how Bella hates me spending money on her and this cost me nothing, only a little pleading on my part to Esme, but it was soon settled. Isabella Cullen.

Edward is up to something, I am sure of it. Of course I know what the day is, but he is acting really strange and has been agitated all day. Maybe it's just work. Edward and I are currently lying together on the sofa watching a romantic movie to compliment our day after enjoying a beautiful meal which he surprisingly cooked and didn't burn; I was very impressed.
The sound of Edward's ringtone soon brings our attention away from the television and I wonder who could be ringing at 8pm on a Friday night.
"Bella I am so sorry, it's work. They want me to go in and just check over some contracts. You don't mind do you?"Edward informs me.
Of course I do, it's our anniversary.
"No babe that's fine. Just hurry back okay?" I say sadly. He nods, placing a soft kiss to my temple and leaves me here alone on Friday night, our anniversary night.
APOV-(my first I'm very excited!)
Aaaaaaaaah! I could practically scream right now. Oh wait I am. Tonight I am playing Fairy Godmother to Edward's proposal to Bella and I have been working so hard to pull this off. She better ask me to be maid of honour!
After receiving the "go ahead" text from Edward, I drive to their apartment and let myself in with my key-I'm not a burglar you know! I soon find Bella sitting on the sofa draped in a blanket, starting glumly at the TV screen.
"Bella, what's wrong honey?"
"Oh Alice, thank God you are here", she sighs exasperatedly at me. Her emotions also make me want to tell her the plan. Almost.
"What's wrong?"
"Edward's had to work tonight. On our anniversary of all nights! I cannot believe it. He's been acting weird all day. Oh my God, maybe there's somebody else. There's somebody else isn't there Alice? Why have I not noticed this before?" she rambles slightly resembling me during a sale at the local fashion store.
"STOP!", I scream at Bella. "Of course there is nobody else Bella, are you mad?"
"Just a bit" she giggles.
"Come on, Edward rang while he was leaving and has left me strict instructions to entertain you until he returns and no buts missy!".
"Fine, can we go out I'm bored?" she questions me.
15 minutes later
"Alice!" Bella hisses at me. "Where are we going? And why the hell did I let you blindfold me?"
"I have no answer for that one my dear Bella".
As we reach our destination, I direct an unsure Bella to the meadow and leave her in Edward's hands.
Great job Alice, I tell myself.

I've been going mad here waiting for Bella to arrive. I am so scared she will say no and we will be back to square one.
After half an hour of pure torture, Alice arrives with Bella attached to her arm. I say a silent thank you to Alice and remove the blindfold from Bella's eyes and her features were soon replaced by shock.
"Edward?" she shouts, throwing herself at me.
"It's me Bella, happy anniversary".
"I thought you were at work and the whole time you were here, doing this? You are the best boyfriend ever!"
"Yeah I know, I just don't like to brag" I reply, earning myself a light smack on the arm for my awful humour.
I take Bella's soft hand and pull her towards the rug I have delicately placed in the centre of our second home.
"Edward it's beautiful, I cannot believe you did this!". Bella's eyes are drawn towards the white fairy lights adorning the trees. The night is warm and the stars are out in full force tonight, providing extra splendour for our anniversary.
As we enjoy a few snacks and gaze up at the stars bursting across the night sky, I cannot wait any longer to ask Bella to be my wife. I reach into my back pocket, pulling out the velvet box, before kneeling in front of the most beautiful woman in my life.
Bella turns to work out what I am doing on my knee and the action soon registers.
"Isabella Swan, you are the most beautiful person and I cannot go a day without you in my life. You are also the most important person to me and you always will be that's if you'll have me. So what I'm trying to say is, Bella, will you be my wife? Will you marry me?"
"Yes!" she screams, knocking me onto my back whilst placing numerous kisses on my lips. "Of course I'll be your wife Edward".
