Married 9
"Honey? Are you ready?" Esme called from the hallway of the hotel.
"Esme! Can you please come in?" Sakura shouted back in a shaky voice.
Esme walked through the door.
"What is it honey?" Esme asked resting her hands on Sakura's shoulders.
"Esme, im scared. This has to be the biggest thing that's happened to me since my parents died." Sakura shrilled.
"Alice could you give us a moment please?" Esme asked the ecstatic girl.
Alice nodded and skipped out of the room.
"Sakura honey, are you sure you're ready? You are only 19, we could wait another year." Esme explained.
"Yes of course im ready, its not that im scared about. It's the fact that my parents aren't here to see this, the biggest and best thing in my life. And my dad isn't here to give me away. My mum isn't here to fuss over the food buffets." Sakura spoke softly, trying not to cry.
"Its ok honey, they are here, in spirit they are here." Esme comforted her soon to be daughter in law.
"If it helps Carlisle could give you away, and I could go and fuss over the food buffets." Esme tried to cheer Sakura up.
"No, no thanks, heh thanks for the offer though, but I think ive just had a good idea." Sakura thought.
"Alice! Alice come in here please." Sakura called the pixie like vampire into the room
"Yes? What is it?" Alice asked.
"Alice, could you please go get Bella and James?" Sakura asked
"Ok," Alice replied slightly confused
Alice ran out the door and les then a minute later she returned with Bella and James.
"Wow, Sakura you look, beautiful." Bella commented the bride.
"Thank you. Now Bella have a big favor to ask of you and James." Sakura began.
"Go on." Bella prompted.
"I was wondering if James or yourself could please get your father Charlie, and bring him here?" Sakura asked
"Um? Sure. Why?" Bella asked.
"I have known you and your father almost all my life and it would mean a lot to me if he could be the one to give me away." Sakura explained.
Bella's eyes became wet with tears and she nodded in agreement before running out the door and down the path behind the wedding gazebo to her car.
Sakura sighed with relief and gave James a friendly smile before he returned to his seat under the gazebo.
Sakura gazed at herself in the mirror, now that she was alone in the room she was free to do as she pleased.
Her gown was pearl white with Blue sapphire gem stones around the trim.
Her vale had also been threaded with sapphire colored beads.
She wore a tiara with pink diamonds.
Her makeup had smudged a little so she quickly cleaned it with a tissue.
Becoming slightly anxious she began to play with a lock of her hair. It was no longer dead straight or pink.
It had been cut neatly just above her shoulders and died pitch black, it had also been curled, and pinned back beautifully.
Another five minutes passed and Charlie finally arrived at her room dressed in a dark brown suit, Sakura smiled and giggled at his attempt of dressing up.
"Are you ready?" he asked taking a deep breath.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Sakura replied.
Charlie held out his arm and Sakura wrapped hers through it. As they walked through the hotel foyer Alice ran over and placed a beautiful bouquet in Sakura's arms, then adjusted her veil so it fell lightly over the front of her face.
The music began and Sakura walked slowly with Charlie to the beginning of the silver carpet, that ran passed the guests under the gazebo and out to the platform where her husband stood waiting. Emmett, his best man had a huge cheesy grin on his face when he saw Sakura arrive. He nudged Edward in the ribs and pointed in her direction.
Edward looked up and smiled. The music began and Sakura's bride's maids began to walk down the aisle. Alice kissed Sakura lightly on the cheek when it was her turn to leave and slowly floated down the walkway.
Sakura and Charlie both inhaled deeply when it was their turn to walk. As they made their way down the aisle Sakura's tears flowed with out a break. Charlie slowly slipped his arm out of Sakura's and took his seat.
The priest spoke quickly and quietly, Sakura and Edward both said their vows and finally the priest announced them husband and wife.
Edward took Sakura in his arms and kissed her with more passion and aggression than ever before.
…The end…
