A/N: Wedding time! Eeeppp! I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I tried to do my best. Let me know what you think and hopefully all have good comments to spare? =)

After Leah pulled me into the car from rehearsal dinner, we returned back to her house exhausted and decided to go to sleep. We took her old room, which still held a queen size bed and slept on either side.

"Hey Leah?" I said into the darkness as I laid on my back fiddling my fingers against my stomach.

"Yea Bella?" she groaned.

"I'm getting married tomorrow," I breathed.

Her body rolled over and her face glowed against the moon. "You are, you ready?"

"absolutely," I grinned.


Leah was then asleep within the hour and I was still tossing and turning. It was weird sleeping in a different bed without Sam. Sure, I did it last night and the night before, but one, I was drunk and two I was on a beach. This was a bed. Maybe I should sleep on the floor.

There were a few clink clinks on Leah's window and I knew it was my Sam. Getting up as quietly as I could, I opened the window, full blown grinning.

"We are breaking tradition you know," I whispered loudly.

"I can't sleep without you," he said, "Especially not tonight."

"I know," I sighed.

"Sam?" I asked.

"Yea baby?" he wondered as we gazed at each other.

"I fee like a princess in a castle being swept off her feet by my prince," I admitted with a silly blush.

"Well then my lady, will you please jump down so I can save you?"

"Here? Right now?" I asked wide-eyed. He nodded, "I can catch you."

Biting my lip, I debated it.

"You're seriously thinking of jumping out that window?" Leah grumbled with her eyes closed. My jaw slackened as I didn't know she was awake.

"Say goodbye to your lover and get your ass back in bed. No contact is supposed to happen tonight. Don't make me do it for you," she threatened while still laying in bed. Gulping, I turned to Sam and waved. 'Love you' I mouthed and shut the window.

"It's just one night Bella, you will have him for the rest of your life," she murmured as I slipped back under the sheets and tried to fall asleep.


The sun was shining against me and people were humming the wedding tune. Swatting the voices away, I heard a laugh and a voice sing out 'wedding day!'. I knew it was Alice, which made me hide even further. I didn't want to get up yet- too early.

"Come on, let's go. You have to get up and get to the church to get ready!" Alice exclaimed. Groaning, I let my brain start to awaken and light shine to my eyes. Slowly, sitting up, still groggy from the late night, I realized all of my bridesmaids were around me.

"Oh, hello," I said surprised since I was somewhat unaware of them.

They all chuckled and greeted me good morning.

"Come on, you have to shower and have Rose dry your hair," Kim said helping me up.

"Hangover gone?" I asked the three.

"Thank god," Andrea replied.

Laughing at her answer, I was pushed into the shower and the noticed I had custom made towels that said 'bride' along with slippers and a robe to match.

Smiling, I turned on the hot water and got ready. I washed my hair twice, shaved precisely, washed up my body and then washed my hair one more time just incase I missed a lock or two. When I got out, I slipped on my slippers, dried myself off and tugged on my robe.

"Alright, come here," Rose said, making me sit on a vanity.

"When did this come here?" I asked now positively bewildered.

All the girls in the room laughed at my facial expression.

"Just a few minutes ago. Emmett assembled it really quick," Leah explained. I nodded and watched as Rose did her work. We were all going to get ready at the chapel. They had rooms for each the bride and groom to do their thing. The photographers were even supposed to meet us there.

After my hair was done, I slipped on a tank top and a pair of white shorts. Apparently I had to go all white today, no matter what I was wearing. They put another sash on me, but this time, this one was white and said 'bride'. I smiled at the title and went to leave. Carrying a bunch of things, along with the rest of the girls, I said my hello's to Sue, who stopped to give me a hug and kiss and then we hopped in ours car and left.


Waking up at the Clearwater's and showering was the easy part. As soon as we stepped inside to our large room to get ready, everyone was in full swing. There was Sue, Letty and Esme to help the bridesmaids, while Alice and Rose had me. The photographers hung around us, being somewhat of a nuisance as we worked.

I sat at the vanity, watching as Rosalie was figuring out how to do my hair. Alice was standing beside me on my left with a bunch of make up kits and other supplies.

"Bella, how about this?" Rose said staring at me in the mirror. I looked to myself and beamed. My hair was curly, but I knew she would curl it some more. It was almost like it was in a messy bun, but prettier than that.

"Perfect," I said. She got down to work, putting bobby pins in and doing a bunch of other things. Since Rosalie was still working on my hair, Alice went to go help the rest of the girls. One by one I watched them all get ready through the mirror in front of me and they all looked so pretty.

"All done," Rosalie smiled taking the curling iron away from my face. Little wispy's were hanging down from my face and my hair looked amazing.

"Thank you," I gushed. She nodded and called Alice. The pixie vampire immediately sped over and went to work. She made me face her and started by plucking my eyebrows and moisturizing my face.

After that, I watched her face as she swept brown brushes over my forehead, cheeks and nose. She was in such concentration that I broke out into a smile or two and made her do the same.

She applied some mascara to my eyes, blush to my cheeks, eye shadow to my eyes, and even eyeliner on my rims of my eyes. There was so much makeup on the table I was moderately afraid of what she was applying on.

"How's that?" Alice asked making me take a look in the mirror. I gasped at the sight, seeing a person I didn't think was me.

Touching my face, I sat there amazed. It was me, Bella Swan. Nodding, she smiled and called for Esme.

"Bella," the mother smiled, "you look absolutely gorgeous."

"Thank you," I said bowing my head with a blush on my cheeks. As I looked up back to the mirror, I found Sue and Letty there too.

"Honey, you look stunning," Sue said putting a hand lightly on my shoulder. I blushed again and thanked her.

"This is for you, we wanted to give you something special for your big day from us mothers," Letty said. Glancing back, I saw they were holding a long blue skinny jewelry box. Opening it up I saw a bracelet made of diamonds. The piece of jewelry was thin, made of all sparkly stone all around and had a perfect shaped heart in the middle. That too was gleaming bright.

"I…" said speechlessly.

"Well lets see it on you," Letty smiled. Tearing up in the slightest, I shakily took it in my hands and had Sue help me put it on.

"Gorgeous," Esme smiled as I looked at the piece of jewelry on my wrist.

"thank you so much," I breathed, giving them each hugs. From there, Alice scolded me for tearing up and told me I can't cry yet. I laughed, which was easily caught on camera.

"Next is your dress," Alice said smoothly. Getting on the dress was quite a process. Sue grabbed it from the big box and we all opened it up, marveling at its beauty. After that Alice said: "Come on," and clapped, "shed the clothes."

Chuckling, I slid off my shorts and tugged away my tank top. I stood in my lacey white strapless bra and thin band panties, waiting to be helped with putting on the dress. As they helped me step into it and slid it up my body, I let out a breath and saw this day was really coming true. I stood on a platform with a three-fold mirror in front of me, marveling at the woman who was supposed to be me.

"Well, if I do say so myself, I have some talent," Alice joked. We all laughed and I nodded, "yea, you definitely do."

The photographers began taking more and more pictures. Many were of me just gawking at myself in the mirror, which is embarrassing if I do say so myself, while the rest included my mothers, my maid of honor and quite a few with each bridal girl.

"Isabelly, you're shoes!" Claire exclaimed running to me with them. We all laughed, forgetting about those darn things. I moved with my dress sitting down in a chair while Leah kneeled down and put them on. "Your highness," she joked. We all laughed.

"Ladies," Paul said interrupting us as he stuck his head in the door.

"Mommy!" Liam squealed pushing it open from his father's grasp so he could run over to me.

I smiled at the boy, catching him in my lap and kissed his nose. "Hey you."

"You look really pretty," he said taking note of my dress, hair and makeup.

"Well you look pretty handsome yourself," I smiled tugging on his little tux.

"Bella, wow, you look…gorgeous," Paul said breath taken as he walked over to huddle of girls around me.

"Thank you," I smiled, patting Liam to get down from my lap so I could get up. Standing with my shoes on, I took a second to get used to the feeling.

"Wow," Liam breathed. Grinning down at him, Paul took my hand as I lifted my dress with the other one and I walked to stand on the platform. This girl definitely could not be me.

As everyone made a spectacle of me in a huddle, I saw some else enter the room. It was Charlie and Phil.

"Bella," my dads said both gasping at the sight of me.

"Hey daddies," I smiled.

"Bella-roo," Phil said stepping up first, "your mom would be so proud of you right now," he spoke. Glancing back up at myself in the mirror I nodded and let tears pooled in my eyes. Everyone seemed to stay quiet and watch the scene. "She would also be balling her eyes out," Phil joked. We all laughed, letting it crack the tension.

"Bella, you look unbelievable," Charlie said coming up now.

"Thank you," I breathed, "you ready to help me walk down in these shoes?" I joked, lifting up my dress some more to show him. They were pretty decent size heels and I really didn't want to trip. Charlie nodded but then glanced at Phil. "Its okay you know if you want to…"

I shook my head, "he understands," I said giving a smile to Phil who was nodding.

"Don't feel guilty Charlie, you deserve this so much more than I do," he said clapping the man on the back.

"Not the way I would phrase it but it works," I joked. As the tension eased down some more I continued to stand there and look at myself. It was unbelievable how me I looked in the mirror, yet not. Giving myself a full glance over, I trailed down to the details of my shoes and back up. My eyes hit my mother's necklace and I raised my hand up to hold it tightly. She would be proud of me as we gazed in the mirror together. And… she would be crying like Phil said. But I think most of all I think she would be happy for me that I found a man like Sam to make me cherish life in the ways she couldn't.

A loud giggle of laughter from one of the younger kids had me breaking out of my thoughts. It was Collin, who was tickling Claire and messing with Joey.

"Hey Bella, you look amazing," he said as I caught his attention.

"Thank you," I smiled stepping down the platform and giving him a hug. Paul, with Liam, had stuck around the room while the dads went back outside to take note of how the crowd was filling in.

"Hey Resse," Collin said to his 'crush' that was on the team to take pictures of me in here.

"Hi Collin, you look really nice," she smiled cheerfully as she looked to his attire.

"Thanks," he slightly blushed.

"Can I get a picture of you two?" she asked. He nodded and came to stand next to me. After she snapped a few pictures with her high tech camera, the two teens started to talk for a bit and I was pulled near Paul.

"Sam's a lucky guy you know," he reminded me.

"Thanks," I laughed fiddling with my necklace.

"You okay?" he wondered reading the hint of sadness in my eyes.

"Yea," I breathed, "dealing with everything as I go along."

"Well, you look absolutely gorgeous in doing so," he said kissing my cheek. My heart melted at his words and I knew how great of a guy he was.

"Paul! Don't make her cry!" Alice yelled as I had signs of tearing up a bit. Rolling my eyes, I wished them away and let Paul laugh at the vampire.

We talked some more after the scolding and Liam soon joined us too. Paul had picked him up in his arms so I wouldn't somehow ruin my dress.

"Alright Paul, time for you to head out," Letty said coming over to us. I noticed Collin literally being shoved out of the room too by Alice as she cut his conversation with Resse short.

"Bye mommy, you look really pretty," Liam said leaning over to hug my neck. Paul 'second' that and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek as Letty ushered her son out.

"See you down at the alter big guy," I replied as they shut the door. With that, I gave Letty another smile and went over to all my bridesmaids.

"You all ready?" I asked.

They all let out squeals of their own and we hung around to talk. There were only a few minutes to go till we had to line up, and with each second ticking by I was getting antsy.

"Ready to go sis?" Leah asked bumping my shoulder with her. She looked really pretty too, with her dress and white high heel shoes.

"beyond ready," I groaned, just itching to get out of the room.

"Then lets go," Kim cheered. The little ones jumped in excitement and we all moved along out of the room.

"Joey!" Scott called waiting outside the room.

"Daddy!" Joey said running in his arms.

"Hey Scott," I said making a detour over to him.

"Bella…wow," he said standing at his full height as he looked over at me.

"Thanks," I blushed.

"Look it, I have a pomermander," She said.

"a pomander?" he asked looking at the ball of hydrangea flowers she was holding.

"Yea," she said nodding.

"Very pretty honey," he said kissing her cheek and setting her back down. "I guess I should get back out there. I just wanted to make sure she was behaving."

"She's great" I said looking back to where Joey ran off.

"Thanks again Bella, and you look…beautiful," he said with a hand outward shocked.

"Again thank you, and don't worry about Joey. Honestly."

He nodded and waved to me as he turned around and left.

"Okay! Lets go!" I said getting ready in the line up. Charlie suddenly appeared on my left sticking an arm out, while Phil appeared on my right doing the same. I gave confused look to the father I asked, but he shrugged. "We're both apart of your life I think its only fair to both walk our only daughter down the aisle."

Grinning, I tucked my arms under both of theirs and listened as the music began to play. Closing my eyes, I heard it start to grow silent and I imagined people turned to look at the door.

It was funny how this was unraveling and was playing out. Here I had Charlie and Phil strapped to each arm. It was like my life was uniting itself to fit my past and present. It made all those thoughts of Sam not fitting in my old life untrue because with Phil walking me down the aisle too, I knew my mom was becoming apart of the life I had started making here in La Push.

The first set of doors opened and I opened my eyes to see Andrea walking down the aisle with a orange and white rose in her hand.

I wanted the flowers my bridesmaid's were going to hold to be symbolic and have affect. With a bouquet, I couldn't really do that. When Jackson Leroy educated me on what roses stood for, with their individual meaning, I spread the translation to everyone. I had them each carry a single white rose, with another one, being a color. It wasn't just me who was innocent and in love. And I certainly wasn't the only one to be worthy of my mate. The couples we had created through fate all balanced each other out, somehow making us equal and made us significant of each other. So I wanted them to have a white rose. As for the colored one, it fit them. Andrea had a orange rose because she was young and had that desirable attraction for Embry.

She smiled at everyone, moving graciously down to the front of the church with the roses kept perfectly in place at her center.

Then next was Sarah. She held the red rose with a white one. The color was to signifying her passion for Jake. I knew she was nervous and had a fear of tripping, but she did well. Never once did she even stumble and I could only imagine Jake watching her with those big brown eyes of his.

From there was Rosalie and then Alice. Rosalie had carried a pink rose for her beauty and elegance, which was shown as she walked down the aisle, and Alice held a purple one, to symbolize her unique mystical self.

After the two Cullen siblings went down, Kim was placed next, who I knew was making full eye contact with Jared. She had a white and lilac colored rose in her hand- hers more signifying the love at first sight between her and Jared. I had a feeling her and Leah were next to get married but I could be wrong.

My maid of honor and sister Leah was next. She grinned like she had won the lottery- I knew she was, and walked down the aisle with her grace and strength. She held a white and yellow rose, showing how warm she was inside and out and the ways she carried a kind hearted friendship with me.

Lastly came Claire, all sweet and innocent. She walked down the aisle with two white roses. She was the most innocent of all and it was perfectly fitting to give her that color. Even with her and Quil's relationship blooming, she was innocent and pure. As she finished her walk down the way and turned to go stand by the others, she quickly scurried over to give Quil and gave him one of her flowers. Chuckles were ringing in my ears and I could see exactly what she had done through the glass doors in front of me (they were double sided).

Finally it was Joey and Liam. Joey had her ball of flowers since pedals were already scattered across the runway, and she walked with Will in sync. He made sure not to let the rings slide off the pillow while also not tripping in the process. Joey, just walked happily, enjoying how her role was playing out.

And that's when it came to me. Everyone stood and my heart fluttered.

"Ready?" Charlie asked me. I nodded.

"Alright, here we go Bella-roo," Phil whispered.

"Let's make it count," I breathed to the both of them.

The doors swung open and I looked up to where Sam would be. There were gasps and tears. But what I saw from my mate was more than that. Our eyes connected and it all clicked together. The clarity and the hardships, they all just peacefully made sense and quieted. Grinning at the look on his face, my feet began to move and I couldn't wait to be near him.

I walked down with my dads on both arms and blushed to the people around me. I was the center of attention, my beauty on spotlight. Taking in the presence of my Aunt Betty and Joe, along with Sam's dad and the Cullen's, I noticed how happy they all really were. The sparkly vampires were all grinning at me from ear to ear as I passed by them, Emmett standing out the most, booming with jolly joy.

As we approached Sam at the first stop, I met his eyes again and fell into the blissful love I felt for him. The wedding song faded and both Charlie and Phil let go of my arms.

"Take care of her son," Phil said putting out his hand for Sam to shake. He took it and shook it firmly, "I will," he said looking back into my eyes.

"Sam, you're a good man and I know you'll both do well. Bells," Charlie said kissing my cheek. He handed me off and I bit my lip in happiness. Charlie was never a man for words but he didn't really have to express anything. Just him walking me down the aisle and accepting Phil to take my other side was enough for me. My heart jumped as my skin touched with Sam and we both grinned to the reaction. As Charlie stepped away, Sam and I stepped up to the guy giving us the holy matrimony speech.

'I love you' I mouthed to him as we faced each other to listen to the guy talked.

'love you more,' he replied back. Holding back a laugh, because it was such a Sam thing to say, I tried to pay attention to our ceremony.

"Vows," he queued after some time.

Sam took a breath and started, "You know what it was like for me-love at first sight, but it was also more," he breathed, squeezing my hands lightly. "Our relationship started rocky but with every opportunity I had to know you, I fell for you even more. You're this person I can never get out of my head and to be honest I'm glad. Jared along with the rest of the guys says I'm whipped and a big mush ball, but as long as I have you, I will be that forever," he admitted as we all laughed. "I'm not sure what I can say up here because I'm not sure how to express my love for you. It's endless and forever lit. There is nothing that we can do to ever knock it down. And I'm glad to have met you. The circumstances were hard and it should have been easier, but I wouldn't change it for a thing because I got to step back and watch you be you. Bella," Sam said, "thank you for always being you- Even if you don't know who you that is exactly, I am proud to see it and will remind you every day. I love you with every fiber in my being and the beats to my heart," he finished. I let out a breath and tried not to cry.

"Its okay now Bella, you can let them fall," Alice called out. We all laughed and then I nodded. Letting tear drip from my eye, I looked back up to my very soon to be husband and let him wipe the salty water away.

"Sam," I said in a large breath, "you have no idea how hard these vows have been to write," I spoke.

"Here here!" Billy called from the first pew. We all laughed again and I sent a blush the old man's way.

"I wanted to say so much, with my head and my heart both. I felt like you deserved so much and I couldn't make anything on paper perfect," I admitted, "but now we stand here, and yes, I'm winging it," I said making the crowd laugh, along with my mate, "I know exactly what to say. We've been through a lot from the start- that's been shared and told," I spoke, "but I've been glad to experience it. We've danced around each other and then passionately declared a relationship. We then took time to figure everything out and then let life slip off our finger tips," I said. "but now we're up here standing with each other declaring our love to an audience," everyone chuckled, "but I'm glad," I smiled. "I want everyone to know that life's events can never change the way I feel about you no matter how hard they try to knock us to our knees. I grew to love you, even as I tried to fight fate. And as it continues to pull us together, I still will love you until the day I die. Thank you, for bringing my heart and my head together, knocking sense into them both while showing the two of them love."

Sam smiled into my eyes and squeezed my hands. As there were a few more words exchanged, we grabbed the rings for Liam and slipped them on each other's fingers. In a blur of vague memory, I remember looking up to my husband's eyes and hearing those words, "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss your bride."


My lips were swept up again and again by Sam. From the time down at the alter of our first kiss as husband and wife, from the time where we got to walk away and have some time to ourselves in a private room. There were no cameras, no girls, or kids. It was just he and I in a small room with cheesy smiles plastered on our face.

"I love you wife," he said putting his forehead against mine.

"I love you too husband," I breathed kissing him again.

By the time we finally could pull our lips away from each other, I snuggled into him, enjoying the fact he was looking quite dashing in a tux.

"So Mr. Uley, how was your first half of the wedding without me?" I wondered.

"Long," he groaned. "and you Mrs. Uley?" he wondered with that hint of pride in his voice at the words of my new last name.

"antagonizing. I was getting impatient and almost allowed Leah to slap me," I joked.

Sam chuckled. "I thought it took a long time for girls to get ready? Especially one's for their wedding day," he said kissing my head.

"When you have two vampire professionals going lightening speed on the hair and makeup, which are the most two vital things to a wedding day, you've got all the time in the world," I told him. Laughing some more, we just took the peaceful time we had to ourselves and enjoyed it.

"Hey Bella?" Sam said after some time as we got ready to go back out.

"Yea?" I said looking up at him.

"You look stunning."

Blushing, I didn't reply with my same 'thank you'. Instead, I leaned up and kissed those smooth lips I loved.

As we walked out of the church together, we saw lines on either side of us had been created and there were flower petals being tossed in the hair along with bubbles being blown. Both Sam and I laughed, ducking in cover as they were tossed in the air.


It was picture time before we could go off to the rest of the party. I stood with the Cullen family, Phil, and even Sue, Charlie, Leah and Seth. Sam and I got a picture with his father, while we also took some with the Pack. It was great and pretty memorable. I'm pretty sure there were a few pictures in there off all of us cracking up.

"Mommy?" Liam asked as the photographer was finishing up outside with some others, "can I have a picture with just you an me?"

"Of course buddy," I said still kneeling down beside him. Calling for the camera guy, I had him take one of Liam and I, and another with Liam, Paul and I. It was cute and I knew it meant a lot to the both of them.

"Ready to go take some more pictures, just you and me Mrs. Uley?" Sam asked coyly at my name.

"My jaw hurts," I jokingly complained.

"Come on," he said giving me a quick kiss as we followed the photographer's directions.


We finished within the half hour, finding everyone already gone to the beach. That half of taking pictures was actually a lot of fun and easy. We didn't have to pose or act like we were standing how they made us. We just did what we wanted and kept everything at ease. So, Sam took our car, which was decorated with 'just married' thanks to the guys and headed towards the after party.

"Can we pull off back to the house real quick?" I asked as we drove.

"Sure, why?" Sam wondered looking over at me.

"New dress," I explained, "a lot shorter- so much better." Sam laughed and squeezed my hand, kissing it as he brought it up to his lips.

We pulled up to our lovely home and unlocked the doors. Inside was the how we left it and I sighed in content. Even being away from it for two days made me miss this place. Going upstairs, I grabbed my after party dress I had in my arms and quickly stripped down to my skin.

"We are never going to get to of here if you don't put that other dress on in a few seconds," Sam groaned loudly, shutting his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose as he took in the sight of me in my lacey bra and panties. Laughing at his silly ways, I slipped the new dress up my body and made him approve.

"Zip please?" I asked. Pushing off from the bathroom doorway, he stood behind me and I craned my neck as he zipped up the zipper. A warm hand came around my waist and another went up my arm and over my shoulder. I let out a hum of pleasure and felt his lips touch my bare skin.

"I love you," he murmured as he kissed my shoulders and up my neck.

"I love you too," I breathed. His lips touched my mark and I shivered letting my eyes flutter close for a second. "We need to finish up here and get to our party."

Sam nodded, kissing just below my ear.

Grabbing my dress from the floor, I hung it back up nicely and held my red wine colored heels in my fingers.

"Wait," I said before Sam could drag me off. Going back to the bathroom, I turned on the light and began taking all of the bobby pins out of my hair. Pulling them one by one, my hair soon began to fall and I shook it out back to its natural curls. Satisfied, I went back to join Sam and left the house.
