Third Person POV

~THE WEDDING~

The last of the guest zoomed into the high propped up marquee. The marquee itself was large and white, with the edges lines with a smooth line of red running alongside it. Inside the marquee was grass, lovely white chairs, all were positioned one after another. In the very middle, running along the ground was a carpet. It was blood red. On the carpet was a beautiful scatter of red and white rose petals. These led up to a slightly raised podium of the front. Sitting on the few steps of that podium with his knees slightly shaking was a tall man dressed in a black suit, ivory shirt, black vest and red tie. If you'd known who he really was you'd be straying as far away from him as you could knowing his dangerous background, however, if it was your first time seeing him, you would have laughed at the timid expression on Demetri Volturi's face.

A young boy that looked the age of seventeen or eighteen strolled up to Demetri, twirling a red rose around his hand.

"You okay?"
Demetri looked up at Alec, "Do I look okay?"

Alec shrugged and sat beside him, "Not really. Getting cold feet ey?" Alec joked, nudging Demetri in the ribs.

Demetri in turn looked up at Demetri with a not amused expression. Alec sighed and placed his hands in a surrender position.

"Sorry, just making a joke."
Demetri rolled his head around and sighed, "How much longer do I have to wait?"

Alec raised his eyebrows, "Is that why you're so agitated?"
Demetri shrugged, "There are other reason?"

Alec snorted, "Yes. Like deciding you don't want to marry Alena anymore."

There was a moment's silence along with a death glare from Demetri.

"Are you crazy?!?!" He yelled out.

All talking in the marquee stopped as all heads swiveled in his direction, Alec shook his head quickly.

"No! I didn't mean that. Sorry."

Demetri sighed and placed his head in hands and heaved another sigh, "No, I'm sorry. I'm just a little nervous. And excited."

Alec chuckled, "Then I guess I should wish you luck. Good luck."
Demetri grinned ruefully and nodded, "Thank you."

--00oo00oo00--

Alec headed over to the Cullen house. It was a good thing the Cullen's backyard was so big. Big enough to fit a marquee tent…

In the middle of the lounge room were the Cullen girls and his mate. Chloe was bustling around in a form fitting red bridesmaids dress. It was slim with a deeper red chiffon crumpled sash around the middle. The bottom flowed out into a nice mermaid style. The two other girls dressed like that were Alice and Rosalie. Esme was dressed in a light brown chiffon V-necked dressed that twisted at the empire and came down to a front drape skirt. Bella was dressed in a simple but beautiful mid-length blue dress with a delicate chiffon finish overlay. It had an elastic stretch sequin design empire waistline beneath a slightly pleated, ruche and gathered design padded bust. The dress free flowed above the knee hemline.

Alena herself was dressed in a beautiful ivory white strapless wedding dress. However, it was the middle of the dress that drew the most attention. It was red in the middle with white lace over the top so that the red was seen. Then, in the very middle and on top of lace, a blood red sash was drawn over and tied to the side with a small pin of flowers in the middle of the tie. Any normal person would agree that Alena looked beautiful. Her hair was pinned up, half of it. It was a mix of curled and wavy, pinned back with pearl studded pins. Her face was brushed with light makeup and her irises a lovely golden tone. A veil was fitted on her hair and thrown behind here, which was the way she was going to wear it. The veil itself had a red trim on the bottom. Pacing around her dangerously high strappy heels, she almost seemed as though she was floating.

Some days before, Esme had shown her and Demetri another house in the woods, not very close to Edward's and Bella but of similar size. This one however wasn't made out of stone; it was made out of wood. In the woods clearing, the house was quite modern and had a lot of windows. But it was beautiful and suited Demetri and Alena just right.

"Is it time yet?" Alena whined.
The five girls laughed at her fiftieth comment. Esme shook her head and laughed, "No. But it will be in a few minutes."
Alena stopped pacing and walked over to Chloe who smiled at her.

"Thank you for coming Chloe. This means a lot to me."
Chloe smiled and hugged her tight, "Well one, I live with the Volturi so everyone practically came and two; I'm your maid of honor and your best friend. Of course I have to come."

Alena grinned and hugged her tightly back, "Thank you. I love you."

Chloe grinned back and nodded in the hug, "I love you too Lenny."

A knock came on the door and Alena jumped, quite startled. Alec popped his head in, as did Carlisle. Both in pitch black suits. Alec grinned at Alena and then hopped over to Chloe. Carlisle walked in, pecking Esme on the cheek and then coming over to Alena. He smiled like a proud father.

"You look absolutely beautiful honey."

Alena grinned and hugged him, "Thank you… daddy."

Carlisle laughed and hooked his arm to which Alena hooked her arm on.

Alec hooked his arm with Chloe and they both went outside. Carlisle smiled at Alena, "It's time."
Alena grinned back, "Finally."

Faintly, Alena could hear music start in the background. It was the typical 'Here Comes the Bride' song, a little stereotypical but on the other hand, who didn't love tradition.

--00oo00oo00--

First down the aisle was Rosalie and Emmett. Both smiled happily as they walked down the aisle. One gracefully, one jovially… The next one was Alice and Jasper, both walking at the same speed and at the same beat. And then Alec and Chloe down the aisle... Like all the other girls, each were carrying a bouquet of red and white roses, all tied with thick white lace then a thinner strap of red ribbon over it in the middle.

After them, everybody stood up as the music droned louder as Carlisle and Alena entered. Many vampires were looking straight at Alena, her dress and Carlisle proudly escorting her down the red and white isle. However, some vampires were looking at Demetri. This, inoffensively, was a far more interesting sight. He looked overjoyed and his face was about to burst out into a smile. However, it was also evident that he was trying to keep a straight face so there he was desperately trying to keep a straight face and smile widely at the same time. His hands were tucked behind his back and his tall figure straight.

Finally, Alena reached the end of the aisle and the podium.

For a few moments, everyone waited as the human preacher spoke to the audience and then having Alena and Demetri take their vows.

Alena smiled, unable to cry as she said her vows, "Demetri Volturi, I promise to always love you, until the end of time, until the end of existence, until the world stops turning. I promise to have and hold you forever and ever."

Demetri said something similar, changing and adding a few more 'forever and ever' words. Finally, the preacher smiled and nodded proudly. Alena bit back a smile as she read the preacher's mind and thought about how beautiful this couple was… in fact, how beautiful everyone was. In fact, if they weren't so mesmerizing he would have been scared.

"You may now kiss the bride."

As soon as he uttered those three words, Demetri's hand snuck out and placed it on the back of Alena's neck, pulling her closer and then placing his lips on hers and pressed down tightly. Alena unbeating heart was so full she thought it was going to burst. Then Demetri's other hand snuck out and secured itself around her back making sure she didn't fall. Alena pressed back with the same force, somehow exerting warm, even through what may seem like ice cold lips.

Then pulling apart after a few seconds, Alena laughed as everybody cheered, Demetri grinned back at her and then at the crowd of numerous vampire clans. All were equally happy for the now married couple…

For a while after the wedding, vampires darted in and out of conversations, mingling with vampires and so on. Alena and Demetri were walking around together, accepting gifts and congratulations, but soon, everyone had to leave and groups went away, leaving Alena and Demetri with congratulations and thanks. Alice was more excited than everyone else, quite pleased that her wedding plan had been executed well. But now Demetri and Alena were safe and tucked away in their cottage. Clothes had been laid aside and Demetri had covered Alena's shoulder and collarbone in kisses. Alena giggled and favorably returned them. Demetri and Alena reached the bed and he eagerly pulled her on the bed making her shriek in excitement and bliss.

Yes, bliss.

Alena was now complete, forever happy with Demetri. She'd tamed her monster, her beautiful undead monster. Dangerous but different, Demetri now had a full life with Alena. Nothing to disrupt them, nothing to break or separate them. Only things to strength them in love.

In pure bliss, happiness and love.
