A/N: So I woke up at like 5am (not real early but it is when you have nowhere to go the next day) and couldn't go back to sleep. I cruised around on fanfiction for a little bit before deciding that you guys deserved a wedding outtake. :)
And just so you know, this outtake goes back in time from the epi.
Enjoy!
That's Just the Way We Are
EPOV
I was literally shaking when I walked into the "Men's Dressing Room" of the church hall. I was so nervous.
"Eddie," Emmett said, pushing me into a chair. "Sit down and relax." She worked on his tie again. "Sheesh, you'd think that bachelor party last night would've loosened you up."
"That bachelor party was horrible." I told him. "You know strippers and shit like that isn't my idea of a good time."
He rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes. Today was my wedding day and I was freaking out. I mean, I proposed to Bella almost two years ago. You'd think that would have been enough time to wrap my head around the whole marraige thing. Nope. I was still a nervous wreck.
I hear a knock on the door. Jasper got up from his spot on one of the couches in the room to answer it.
I saw Renee hand Maggie off to him. "She's been crying for Dada all morning." She gave me a smile before shutting the door and going back to join the women.
Jasper came over to me. As soon as Maggie saw me, she reached her little arms out to me. I took her into my arms and held her to my chest. She was so beautiful. Her baby fine red hair contrasted perfectly with her blue dress. She was still in the premie size though. Her arms were thinner and she wasn't as round as a normal 17 month old.
"Hi Maggie Bear!" Emmett said as he tousled her hair gently. She giggled.
"Dada!" She said as she threw her arms up in the air, letting them fall back on to my chest. After while, she fell asleep on my chest while playing with the buttons of my tux.
I was so many feelings right now but the one that came out the most was love.

"Are you sure I look okay?" I asked for the millionth time. I was bouncing with anticipation.
"Yes, Bella. You look beautiful." Alice said as she adjusted the small tiara in my hair.
I had to agree. The dress was beautiful. It was a simple soft, Chiffon dress with a little bit of beading on the a-line waist. The satin ribbon tied under my bust line pulled the whole thing together.
"You look beautiful, too, Alice." I said, trying to hold back tears. Her satin, strapless ballgown with a sweetheart neckline was perfect for her and Rosalie, my only two bridesmaids. Alice, of course, was the maid of honor. That was the deal. She'd help with the wedding if she got to be MOH. Rose and I were fine with that. Emmett was Best Man with Jasper as the groomsman.
"Oh thanks hun." She put her hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eye. "But this isn't my day. It's yours."
Twenty minutes later, I was standing behind the big doors of the church clutching on to my father's arm.
"Calm down, honey. You're going to make yourself sick."
I nodded and took a deep breath as the doors opened and the music began to play. It was Edward's lullaby to me. I could feel the tears of joy prickle at my eyes. How could he have chosen me? I was an average woman who didn't deserve him.
But by some amazing nature, he'd chosen me. And that's why I was here. I loved him.
I looked around the room at everyone that was there; everyone from La Push, some of my highschool classmates, my mother and Phil, Edward's parents, and a million other people that were distant friends of my father or someone else.
Then I saw my Edward. He stood at the end of the aisle with his head hung just a bit, not really looking at me yet. Charlie and I made it to the end where Edward finally looked up at me. I bit my lip nervously.

My breath caught when I looked up at my Bella. She was amazing. Her beauty never ceased to shock me. They way she bit her lip made me want to kiss her.
Charlie placed her tiny hand in mine. "Take care of her."
"I promise to keep her safe, Charlie. Thank you." I smiled at him. He went to sit beside Renee where Maggie was sitting on her lap.
I turned to Bella and brushed my fingers over her cheek. "You're breath taking." I whispered. She blushed and turned with me to begin the ceremony.
"Edward and Bella have decided to write their own vows." Reverend Weber said. He turned to Bella. "Ladies first."
She blushed and held both my hands, turning completely to me. It was as if no one else existed at that moment.
"Edward," She began softly. "I love you. I could probably say those words for the rest of my life and never tire of saying them." She looked my straight in the eye. "I want to thank you. Thank you for never giving up on me when I was at my lowest, for loving me unconditionally when I didn't even love myself, for giving me the most beautiful daughter, for accepting me and all my flaws, and for so much more. I hope one day I can give back to you. But I know that even with all the time I have on this earth, it will never be enough." She took a shaky breath, fighting off tears. "I'm so happy you chose me, even though I'm not always what you deserve." She looked down at our entwined hands. "I will love you until my very last breath, and then some..."
I smiled and wiped away the tear that had escaped her eye. "No, thank you Isabella." I began my vows. After her words, mine would be tweaked a bit. "If it weren't for you I would have never known what the word love meant. I would have never been a father. I would have never felt like my life was worth something. You are my life and you and Maggie are the most important things in my life. Nothing else matters as long as you both are happy and safe." I tilted her chin up to look at me. "Bella, love. You and I have been through so much together. And I would almost change nothing for the world. I want to go through the rest of this life with you by my side and our daughter and future children too. You. Are. Worth. It. Bella. I can assure you that there is no one else on this planet that I would rather kiss goodnight and good morning to every day for the rest of forever. You are my past, present, and future. I love you Bella."
I was starting to tear up now and Bella was already crying. I tried to wipe away her tears but it was useless.
After the exchanging of the rings, Reverend Weber told us to face the audience. "I know present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen."
I about did a dance of joy when he said those words. Mrs. Cullen. Isabella Cullen. Bella Cullen. The names were endless.
After a while we went to La Push where the reception would be held on the beach. After everyone got there, I pulled Bella out onto the dance floor for the customary first dance as husband and wife. She'd told me to pick the song and I did. It was one that I felt presented my love to her the most, or as much as a song could.
Never Gonna Be Alone by Nickelback rang out through the DJ's speakers.
I pulled Bella to my chest, pressing my nose to her hair, and began swaying to the music.
"This is all so perfect." Bella said into my chest.
I pressed my lips to her hair. "Yes, completely perfect."
Later, we cut the cake, threw the boquet which was caught by Angela Weber, and tossing the garter which was caught by one of my aunt's kid's four year old son. It was kind of cute.
Somehow I ended up sitting in a chair with my dress jacket off. Bella was sitting in a chair beside me with her feet proped up on my lap. Maggie was sound asleep on my chest. I rubbed Mags's back with one hand and Bella's foot with the other.
"You know you and her are perfect." Bella whispered as she looked at me and Maggie lovingly.
I shrugged lightly. "Father's instinct I supposed." We both laughed.
Around 11:30pm Bella and I left for our honeymoon in Cancun. It was the first time either of us had been away from Maggie for more than a night. When she was a newborn and in the hospital all the time, one or both of us was always there with her.
We finally managed to tear ourselves away from a still sleeping Maggie, much to the force of Alice. Bella and I boreded a plane to Cancun and arrived there 4 hours later. We checked in and spent the first night completely content in our 5 star hotel room...
"Edward?" Bella said on the second day of our honeymoon. We had just sat down at a local cafe for a quick breakfast.
"Yes, love?" I said as I sipped on my coffee.
"Do you know that whole 11:11 thing where when a clock says 11:11 or 1:11 you make a wish?"
"Yes, why?"
She looked at me and smiled. "We got married on 11-11-2011."
Now that I thought about it, we did. That was kind of a romantic coincidence. "Right you are, love." I leaned across the table and kissed her lips passionatly but quickly.
We still had the rest of the honeymoon for the slow, passionate kisses.
Okie-dokie! There's the wedding outtake. It's all just a bunch of fluff. I hope you liked it!
If there are any other outakes you'd like me to do, just ask! But I don't do lemons! So sorry on that one! Haha!
