Chapter 18
Bella's POV
We soon went to the church and I knew that minute we got there, in a short amount of time I would be Isabella Masen and no longer Isabella Swan.
One thing that I did not like was I could not get my daddy out here for my wedding. Someone helped me out of the limo and I grinned at the sight. It happened to be my father who I saw.
"Daddy!" I squealed throwing my arms around him.
He laughed and hugged me back
"I missed you Bells," he said
"How the heck did you get here?" I asked
"Edward" he said
I grinned, only Edward. My dad looked me over noticing my bump
"You're pregnant…." He said
"Yes, with twins this time" I say to him
He smirked and I knew even though he did not like me being pregnant so young he loved me.
"I'm happy for you honey," he says
"I missed you so much dad," I say hugging him tighter
"Me to baby….me too," he says.
I let go of our hug when Rose pulled me away, scolding at me.
"You're ruining your hair Bella," she says, shaking her head at me.
"Sorry Rose" I said rolling my eyes at her.
She stuck her hand out to my dad smiling
"Rosalie Hale, Edward's future sister-in-law" she says.
"Future?" he asked a bit confused.
"I'm engaged to his brother, Emmett," she said grinning
"Nice to know, you ready to be married baby girl?" Dad asked referring to me.
"Yes," I say.
He smiled as Rose's shoulders slumped and she walked into the church, where I would be getting married….god I am getting married. My dad and I walked into the church where we stood in the lobby close to the doors and dad linked our arms. I took a deep breath as I noticed the music begin to play
"Just count to ten and follow me okay?" Rose said linking arms with her fiancé
"You'll be fine Bella, Edward's waiting for you," Emmett said winking at me, and coming out of nowhere.
I shook my head at him, how stupid he was at so many times. The doors opened and the people's eyes flashed to the door where Rosalie and Emmett went through and I counted to ten before they closed the doors again and count to ten open, the doors and everyone stood up from their seats.
I took a deep breath before locking my eyes with Edward's because I do not think I would be able to do it without him because he has been through everything with me.
Getting down the aisle was not hard but having the ceremony would be the hardest.
"Please sit" the minister said
Everyone sat as he smiles.
"Who gives away this lady?" he asks.
"I do" Dad said
The minister smiled as Daddy kissed my cheek and Edward took my hand, and so it went on.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in God's presence to witness and to celebrate the marriage of Isabella Swan and Edward Masen, and to ask God to bless them so that they may be strengthened for their life together
We are called to rejoice in their happiness, and find in their love a reason to renew our own commitments to those whom are near and dear to each of us. God gave us marriage for the full expression of love between a man and a woman so that husband and wife may cherish and delight in one another; comfort and help each other in sickness, trouble and sorrow; provide for each other in temporal things; pray for and encourage each other in the things that pertain to God; and live together faithfully all the length of their days." He said
He continued his rant even though I was just ready to be married to Edward, to be called Mrs. Masen,
"Almighty and ever-blessed God, whose presence is the happiness of every condition, and whose favor hallows every relation: We beseech you to be present and favorable unto these your servants, that they may be truly joined in the honorable estate of marriage, in the covenant of their God.
As you have brought them together by your providence, sanctify them by your Spirit, giving them a new frame of heart fit for their new estate; enrich them with all grace, whereby they may enjoy the comforts, undergo the cares, endure the trials, and perform the duties of life together, under your guidance and protection; through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen." He said
He soon gave us a reading from the bible
"1 John 4:16-19 so we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us," he said
After a couple more readings he turned to Edward,
"Edward Masen, will you have this Woman to be your wife, and will you promise your life to her in all love and honor, in all duty and service, in all faith and tenderness, to live with her, cherish her, according to the ordinance of God, in the holy bond of marriage?" he ask.
"I will," he says.
He then turned to me,
"Isabella Swan will you have this Man to be your husband, and will you promise your life to him, in all love and honor, in all duty and service, in all faith and tenderness, to live with him, and cherish him, according to the ordinance of God, in the holy bond of marriage?" he asked again to me instead.
"I will," I say.
He quickly told Edward to take my right hand and say after him
"I, Edward Masen, take you Isabella Swan, to be my wedded wife; and I do promise and covenant; before God and these witnesses; to be your loving and faithful husband; in plenty and in want; in joy and in sorrow; in sickness and in health; as long as we both shall live." He say.
I smiled as I took his hand in return and said what the minister said.
"I, Isabella Swan, take you, Edward Masen, to be my wedded husband; and I do promise and covenant; before God and these witnesses; to be your loving and faithful wife; in plenty and in want; in joy and in sorrow; in sickness and in health; as long as we both shall live." I say.
The minister handed him a ring and instructed him to put it on my fourth finger and say the following words,
"This ring I give you; in token and pledge; of our constant faith; and abiding love" they both said at the same time.
He then handed me a ring and the same instructions as I repeated after him.
"This ring I give you; in token and pledge; of our constant faith; and abiding love "I say
"By the authority committed unto me as a Minister of the Church of Christ, I declare that Isabella Swan and Edward Masen are now Husband and Wife, according to the ordinance of God, and the law of the State; in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen" he say.
My eyes lit up.
"You may kiss your bride," he said
Edward leaned down capturing my lips with his as the people stood up and clapped, but we had to break apart.
"I love you," he whispers
"I love you too," I whisper back
Then we were ushered out of our church….finally married.
Just because I really love you guys is why you're getting this chapter :D
A/N- Cheesy right? I feel like the whole wedding went horribly bad, and since I have never been married before it might be kind of…..odd. Even though I thought, it was horrible I want to hear your thoughts on Edward and Bella Masen! Two chapters that are more regular and then the epilogue and then…..the next story :)
