Here it is, the big wedding planning chapter! I know it will seem a little rushed but of course Marcus and Bella are a match in this fic so they'd want to end the horrendous planning asap right? Lol, it's not just Diana doing the planning though, and other covens will attend the wedding the same ones who attended the ball. Of course the Cullens and Denalis are not invited, but that's obvious right?

I don't own Twilight.

Enjoy!

Bella's P.O.V.:

Ever since Marcus proposed Diana had been going up and down with the preparations. Thankfully she didn't bug me like I thought, but she came around when I was alone to ask my opinion. I had told her what I wanted so far, a simple wedding with red and white roses, a nice altar with the flowers all around, a long red carpet to walk on the aisle, and nothing too big because I didn't want to plan a wedding with an Alice Cullen clone.

All that was left were Marcus' suit and his groomsmen tuxedo clothes, the bridesmaid dresses for Clarinda, Jessica, and Angela, and my dress. Diana was going to marry us, she was the queen and she had consent for all of this. I was almost afraid she would be like Alice, but she agreed to let me do the wedding the way I wanted.

Diana was like a mom to me, even if she was my ancestor she could well enough be my mom. Of course I couldn't picture her with Charlie, since I figured she had something going on with Galen. And speaking of Charlie I had been seeing him sneak around with someone in the Volturi, a guard I think. I didn't get a good look at her, but she looked young, almost in her twenties.

'At least Charlie's with someone.' I was in my room, trying on the sparkling white flats Diana had given me to break in. She knew I wasn't good in heals, so she let me were fancy flats with my dress which was in the works right now. Diana said she had a plan for the dress, my guess is she was either getting one from a special designer or she was making the dress herself.

"Bella?" I heard Jessica's voice.

"Come on in." she and Angela walked in.

"Trying on the shoes?" Angela.

"Yep, gotta break them in before the big day next week."

"I can't believe you're already getting married Bella, you and Marcus are a wonderful match together." Jessica hugged me.

"Thanks Jess, you and Felix are a great match too and so are Angela and Demetri."

"Yeah but we're gonna wait until we get married, we don't know our men as well as you and Marcus know each other."

"That's good, you'll get more time with them."

"And…Bella there's something bugging me."

"What is it?"

"The Volturi, they live in Volterra. So when you get married, are we going to have to leave Rome?" that wasn't something I was prepared to answer. I hadn't thought about that, I was marrying Marcus and he was a leader of the Volturi, who lived in Volterra and Diana lived here in Rome. I didn't want to leave her, but what could I do?

"I don't know, I hadn't thought about it."

"You don't have to." All three of us saw Diana at the door with a dress bag in her arms. "Bella, I have talked it over with the Volturi leaders and though you will be going back with them to Volterra you will not have to worry about me."

"But milady…"

"Bella, you don't have to stay here. When you marry Marcus it will bring our two covens together, we'll be an entire family."

"That is true." Angela.

"So, you're going to stay in Volterra?" she laughed and sat down on the bed next to me.

"Bella, I need to stay here I can't just pack up and leave. However, you can see me as often as you like. Rome isn't that far from Volterra and for a vampire it's just a quick run."

"Really?"

"Of course you'll need to tell Aro and the others, but if you wish you can stay here a bit longer until a while after you're married."

"You mean that?" she nodded.

"Yes dear, you and Marcus can stay as long as you wish. However, Aro and Caius will return to Volterra after the wedding and so will their guards." She looked at Angela and Jessica. "That includes you two."

"But what about…?" Diana smirked at me.

"I have a plan for you and Marcus after the wedding, don't worry it won't be anything big." She winked. "Anyway, I have your dress ready Bella." she pulled the bag up and unzipped the front. Inside was a beautiful ivory white dress like one a roman princess would wear. It was long with a V-neck, a train, with see-through sleeves that billowed down the arms and gold trim.

"It's beautiful." I already liked it.

"It's simple yet lovely, and the veil is here." She held up a long veil from the bag that probably went all the way to the floor. "You'll wear your golden tiara with it, and the jewels I have already gotten for you." I hugged her and my girls joined in.

"Thank you milady, thank you so much."

"You're welcome dear princess." She kissed my head. "Now, give me the shoes and go see Marcus." I handed the flats to her.

"Where is he?"

"In his quarters, just in the east wing. Angela, Jessica would you come with me your bridesmaid dresses are here." Their eyes lit up and they followed Diana out of my room while I took off to find my fiancé. I followed his scent and there he was at his door waiting for me.

"Bella." he held out his arms and I hugged him. "Have you talked with Lady Diana?"

"Yes, she showed me my dress."

"Do you like it?" I nodded. "It was Sulpicia and Athenodora who helped her make that."

"Make it, they made it?" he nodded.

"They wanted to make sure this wedding is all you would want, nothing big or fancy." I nuzzled my cheek into his chest and his hand stroked my long hair.

"She said she has a surprise for us after the wedding."

"Oh really?" I nodded.

"Any idea what it could be?"

"Knowing Lady Diana it could be anything, and if Aro or anyone else finds out she will silence them until the big day." He held me tighter. "I cannot wait to have you as my wife, you are going to be so beautiful." If only I could blush.

"And I can't wait until we're married, husband and wife, I almost thought I'd never marry." His hold tightened a little more. "Uh Marcus…"

"Forgive me cara mia, when you said that my mind went to the Cullens." I frowned.

"Don't bring them up Marcus." I looked up at him placing my hand on his cheek. "They are God knows where now, they can't do anything about this. They can't stop me loving you, they can't come here, and they can't stop me from marrying you." I kissed his lips. "I love you."

"And I love you." He smiled kissing my forehead. "I worry for you though, even if we are to marry and Lady Diana brings them here for their punishment there is no doubt that Edward Cullen will try and win you back."

"He won't succeed, he's worthless to me now." I smiled. "And he doesn't compare to you my love." Marcus laughed and held me again.

"In all my immortal years, I don't know what good I've done to deserve such a jewel like you." I giggled.

"And who would've thought that a clumsy little human like me would become princess of the vampires, and be mated to the Volturi king." He put both hands on my face and looked directly into my eyes.

"My Isabella."

"My Marcus." Our lips connected, and I felt a large spark fly through my body.

Now all that was left was to wait for the big day to come, in just a week I would become Mrs. Isabella Marie Swan Volturi.

Like I said, short right?

Next one's the big wedding chapter! I hope you'll all be ready for it! Bella calling Edward worthless, what did you think of that?

R&R

Later!
