A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the inspiration and chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet.

Chapter 178. So smile the heavens upon this holy act.

As Bella and Mrs. Cope entered the courthouse, they spotted Edward and an older gentleman standing by the staircase waiting for them.

Edward smiled as he took in Bella's appearance. She was wearing her white Juliet costume that she'd been wearing the night he met her. His breath caught as she glanced at him shyly, not able to hide behind her hair this time as it had been caught up into a loose French roll, small tendrils curling against her cheeks. She was beautiful.

While the lovers embraced and waited for the judge, Edward's companion introduced himself to Mrs. Cope.
