I wasn't looking into the mirror, no, I was staring at the beauty who stared back. Her deep brown hair was pulled into a bun ontop her head, with loose tendrils curling around her face. Her lips were a light pink due to lipstick, eyes carefully outlined in eyeliner and lids were doused perfectionally in a petal lightly coated her lashes, no blush was needed for her cheeks were already flushed.
is this really me? am I really getting married today? I sat there waiting for myself to wake up, this couldn't be real. My son wasn't the ring bearer. I didn't have a son. I wasn't getting married to Edward. I'm still that loser in highschool. This was all a dream, a perfect dream that I didn't want to wake up from. Who knew I had such a imagination to create up Edward? I didn't realize that. My 5th grade art teacher seemed to though "oh Isabella, you have such the imagination!" I hadn't realized then how much I hated the name Isabella so how could I have realized how truly amazing my imagination is?
I pinched myself, that would wake me up. I frowned when the pinch did nothing but leave a red indentation in my skin. I closed my eyes and told myself to wake up "wake up" I muttered, I felt the air rushing around me. I smiled and opened my eyes. Alice stood in front of me with a exasperated look. "you are not dreaming Isabella Marie Swan. You are getting married today, and you are not going to ruin your makeup" she said the last part with narrow eyes and a tight voice.
"your dress is hanging on the door, go put it on, call me if you need any help" she flitted out of the room, seemingly floating. I looked down and realized I was in my favorite robe. It was a big fluffy white robe that you saw in 5 star hotels, reaching my knee's it was decent. I searched for any sign of makeup on the dress and was pleased to find none.
I looked at the black bag that was hanging on the door, supposdly holding my dress. I couldn't particularly remember the last time I saw the dress or what it looked like but I remember it being amazing. I slowly pulled down the zipper and carefully removed the dress, gasping when it was revealed. It was a halter dress that rouched to my waist where it gathered, it then fell gracefully into a train that trailed behind me. A slit went up my thigh revealing my legs. I slipped on the dress and reveled in the feeling of the chiffon dress.
There was a knock on a door "come in" I replied softly, twirling the fabric in my hands. It was Alice, she handed me a pair of 3 inch silver heels. I would've argued and asked for flats but they made me feel sexy and today it seemed worth the risk of falling. I sent her a grateful smile as I sat down and clipped on the shoes. I held still as Alice put in earrings and gave me a matching anklet which to put on.
There was another knock on the door just as I was sitting up after putting on the anklet. My teary eyed mom and gruff looking father came in. "oh you look so beautiful Bella" she cooed, kissing me on the cheek. "how are you feeling? Nervous?" I shook my head and smiled at her, showing my newly whitened teeth. "no just excited" more coo's from her. "well good luck honey, I'm gonna check on the guests" I nodded, she was still flighty as ever.
I turned to my dad who stood there awkwardly, exchanging a few words with a twittering Alice. He gave me a tense hug. "if he ever hurts you, just call me" his rough voice soothed whatever worries that still lingered in my head. I nodded and kissed him on the cheek. Words weren't needed between us. He moved his lips to my ear. "I like him. Good picking" I giggled at my father but said nothing more.
The next people to come in were Esme and Carlisle, they congratulated me and wished us the best and love before leaving. Emmett, Rose, Jasper, and Jacob came all giving me their wishes and Emmett giving the same threat as Dad. "father like son" I replied. And finally, Aaron who had recently just turned 6 and started kindergarden(without difficulty) came in. He walked in a pulled me into a hug. "we're a family" he whispered into my ear. "we always were" I whispered back.
My dad came back in, taking my arm and showed me to where we would stand until I had to walk down the aisle. "I only wear this damn monkey suit for my princess's" he told me. I wrapped my arms around him "thank you daddy" I felt a tear fall into my hair. "I love you Bells, hell I love all you damn rascals. Even that Emmett" I giggled at my father yet again today, he was on a roll. "I love you to daddy"
The music started playing and we looked down the aisle to see Aaron and Lily walking down it. Aaron holding a small pillow with the rings on it. And Lily throwing flowers. They stood by Edward who sadly I could not see. "it's your time to shine" Charlie whispered and we began our descent down the aisle. I looked into Edward's eyes that I had fallen in love with. I wasn't worried about falling, or making a fool of myself. Cause I was a fool in love.
We made it to Edward and Charlie kissed my cheek, gave a stern look to Edward and moved to his side. The priest began and I zoned out, watching the flecks of gold dance in Edward's eyes. I thought about all that brought us to where we were now. And in all, it was beautiful.
"Edward, do you take Bella(I had specially requested to be called Bella) as your lawfully wedded wife?" the priest's voice rang out. "I do" Edward said clearly. "and Bella, do you take Edward to be your lawfully wedded husband?" I blushed "I do" the priest smiled "you may kiss the bride" Edward's lips were on mine and everything else faded away.
Aaron walked in and pulled me into a hug "we're a family" he whispered into my ear. "we always were"
They're married! I'm so proud, my babies are all grown up *sniffles and wipes eyes* so this is the last chapter and the next one will be the Epilogue.
