Hello Monday! Hope you all enjoy this!

A thank you to Brie, kitchmill, Jenn, Kelly, and Kim for their support and help; love you girls.

MPMassen is up today! Here is her vamp tale.

"I live in Alabama and my friends and I had joked around about driving to Baton Rouge on a "vampire hunt" while they were filming Breaking Dawn 1&2. It was getting close to them finishing up so we loaded up and just drove all the way there, got a hotel and roamed Baton Rouge all day. Didn't see anyone so that evening we went down to the bar strip and while trying to find a parking place I caught sight of Guri Weinberg, aka Stephan, standing outside a hotel/bar, his beautiful eyes gave him away. We whipped into a parking spot and I jumped out and walked over to him shaking like a leaf. He was so sweet and signed our books and took pics then he went inside and brought out Daniel Cudmore (Felix), Valorie Curry (Charlotte & now plays Emma on The Following), and Noel Fisher (Vladimir). They were all so amazing and talked with us, signed our books and took pics.

The following day I started my Twitter account and so did Noel Fisher. I followed him and thanked him for everything the night before. He came back and started following me and we talked every day for months/years. When my husband had to have a tumor removed from his neck Noel and Guri woke up early the day of the surgery and tweeted with me from 9am until 9pm that night trying to keep me from losing my mind. Noel and I developed a wonderful friendship and he not only helped me out that day but also has helped my daughter with auditions and even helped her bring her grades up in school. He talked with her online for an hour one night about how he got into acting. He has become very popular since BD2 and now his show Shameless so we don't talk every day like we used to but he will always be considered one of my fondest friends. Such a sweet heart. I've also had the very amazing privilege of meeting Jackson Rathbone, the very sexy Jasper Whitlock, he was just as gorgeous in person and he shook my hand so I have successfully met and touched 5 vampires!"

I love her vamp-counters! Thanks for sharing!

I forgot to mention this in the last chapter, but Makie is the Hawaiian name for Maggie. In this chapter Heiki is Heidi and Pianaka is Bianca.

Chapter Thirty-Four

Thursday began as promised—I blew Edward's mind while I blew his cock. While he was still somewhat coherent, I reminded him that one of the licensing agents had agreed to meet with us to issue our marriage license in private.

Being the planner I was, I had filled the forms out back in California and brought them with us as well as the sixty-five dollar fee that was required. Once that was done, we were officially able to become man and wife.

We spent the morning relaxing before Makie arrived with the chef who was not only preparing our rehearsal dinner, but our wedding feast as well. Desert for the rehearsal was a traditional Hawaiian wedding cake since the actual wedding cake was more traditional—a smaller two-tiered cake covered in white fondant and white orchids that were the flowers I'd chosen for the ceremony.

The rehearsal itself went off without a hitch before we dug into the delicious meal. Laughter and smiles continued through the night until it was time to part ways. Edward was staying at his parents' home, while all the ladies joined me at our place.

"I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be the barefoot man, standing in the sand, and smiling like a loon," he whispered against my ear before placing a kiss on my temple.

"And I'll be the one in white, clutching onto my Daddy's arm so I don't fall like I did when we met." He tossed his head back and laughed at my words; it was deep and rich, sending ripples of desire straight to my core.

"I love you, coffee girl…forever."

"I love you, too, Eddie."

A soft, sweet kiss filled with promises was what he left me with before he turned and was gone. I was still swooning by the time the golf cart was parked at our place.

~o~o~o~

It was very late by the time the girls allowed me to go to bed, but when I awoke I felt completely refreshed. I was ready to become Mrs. Edward Anthony Cullen.

Though I hadn't moved, a knock at the door startled me out of the daydream I was having about Edward calling me Mrs. Cullen while we made for the first time as husband and wife.

"Come in."

The door opened and in walked my mother and Esme.

"Good morning, sweetheart. You ready for your big day?"

I nodded. "I can't wait."

Esme spoke next. "I know our meeting was a bit untraditional, and I think that theme has stuck, so with Renee's permission we both wanted to share some marital advice with you."

I groaned internally, thinking Renee was about to share more dirty details about what she did with my father, but that wasn't the case.

"Marriage is work, baby girl. Your father and I struggled at times because of the amount of time he has dedicated to the force, and that is something you will continue to face with Edward's career choice." She was so sincere as she spoke, sharing a side I was oblivious to growing up.

"But every day that I wanted to just throw in the towel and say, 'fuck it,' I remembered how much I loved your father. He's not a perfect man—and I doubt Edward is either—but sometimes fighting for your relationship shows more strength than just walking away.

"You made your father's and my life whole. We love you and will continue to support you in every endeavor you take on."

I listened to her words and vowed to hold on to them when things would get tough; they would guide me toward the right path, the one I knew I would always take. Then it was Esme's turn.

"When I met you, I knew you were exactly what my son needed. You didn't put up with his shit and didn't let the good looks his father and I gave him cloud your mind about the fact that he simply was Edward. I could see that you would never use him, and if he was able to convince you, you would one day be my daughter-in-law..." She paused; a look of sorrow graced her elegant face.

"Your introduction to the family was marred by my daughter, but I am so glad you didn't allow her to crush the love you have for Edward. Alice was in the wrong, and while I hope that she one day realizes what she has done and will repent, I couldn't have asked for a better partner for my son. We love you, Bella. Please continue to keep Edward on his toes; he needs that. All the Cullen men do."

I managed to keep the tears at bay, but only just.

"Thank you both. You words mean the world to me." I could see the moisture building in their eyes too as I spoke. "Mom, you're a bit crazy; especial as a StarryMom, but I have never once doubted the love you and Dad have for me. I grew up surrounded by that love and knowing that regardless of any mistakes I might have made, you guys would be there to pick me up.

"And you, Esme, you may have barely come into my life a year ago, but your kind and caring support has meant the world to me. You and Carlisle have raised the sweetest, most amazing man that could walk this Earth. He's not perfect and he leaves his socks...everywhere, but his love is the greatest gift I've ever been given. So, thank you for everything you've done too."

"You're welcome, sweetheart. Now let's go get you ready to marry my son."

They left me alone to shower and shave, but I didn't wet my hair because I knew dirty hair was the best for creating really cute up-dos. Once I was clean and hair free, I rubbed some plumeria lotion into my skin and slid on my seamless powder blue panties—my something blue—and robe.

I met everyone in the living room, and the scent of authentic Kona coffee filled my senses. I helped myself to a cup and a pastry before sitting down at the table with everyone else.

"You ready to get married?" asked Rose between bites of her breakfast.

I nodded with a large grin. "Oh yeah."

We all laughed together until a knock at the door distracted us. Esme jumped up to answer it. Makie came in followed by Heiki, Kiana, and Pianaka who were doing our hair and makeup.

We played musical chairs with the stylists, laughing and drinking Mimosas throughout the late morning and lunch hours. I didn't worry about what was going on outside or if everything was coming together just as Makie promised it would. I had faith while my hair was coiffed into a perfect messy bun at the base of my neck, leaving my back completely exposed.

Just as it was time to get dressed another knock came at the door, and once again, Esme answered it. In walked Emmett with a loud wolf whistle.

"Looking good, ladies. Bella, Edward sent me over with a gift for you." He handed me the package and kissed me on the cheek before planting a wet one on Rose.

Just as he was about to head back out the door, I shouted. "Wait!"

I ran into our bedroom and grabbed the gift I'd picked up for him just in case.

"Can you give this to Eddie for me?" I handed over the present.

"Sure, sis. We'll see you in just a little bit longer." Emmett kissed me on the cheek once more before he shot out the door.

I sat down and opened the card first and began to read.

Coffee Girl,

Today you do me the greatest honor by becoming my wife. I can't wait to watch you walk down the aisle to me. I'll be the one in the tan linen pants and the white button down shirt waiting for you.

Thank you for agreeing to marry me.

I love you more than anything,

Eddie

PS: Please don't get mad. xoxo

I snorted through my tears and slowly opened the familiar jewelry box. Nestled inside was the matching necklace to the sunflower earrings and bracelet Edward had bought me for the Golden Globes. It had to weigh more than the two combined, but it was beautiful.

With a sigh, I slid the necklace around my neck. He was too much, but I would never get enough of him.

"That's gorgeous, baby. Are they supposed to be sunflowers?" Renee asked as she admired my latest gift.

"Thanks, and yes, it matches the rest of the jewelry he's given me. It's symbolic of our first date. You remember the sunflowers he brought to the house when he picked me up?" My mom nodded. "He gave me the matching earrings and bracelet for our three month anniversary."

"He's so sweet and thoughtful," Mom replied with a swoony voice. "What did you get him?"

I giggled as I thought back on my gift. I hadn't spent anything close to what he had, but I knew he would get a kick out of my gift. "I got him a pair of platinum coffee cup cufflinks."

All the girls laughed.

"He'll love them, Bella," Esme commented, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

Makie walked in with my flowers and the photographer we had hired. "It's time to get dressed, Bella."

Butterflies took flight in my belly, but not as a result of being nervous. No, they were fluttering like crazy because I was excited. Heiki pinned three fresh, white Phalaenopsis orchids above the bun before I went to change into my dress.

Somehow my dress had already been resteamed and hung in front of the window. The photographer snapped pictures of the dress while I slid on the foot jewelry I'd ordered to wear since I wasn't donning shoes while I walked through the sand.

When the photographer was done with the dress, my mom helped me put it on. It was nice to have the moment alone, well, almost alone to assist me with the final stages of getting ready.

Picture after picture was taken but we pretended that she wasn't there.

She zipped up my dress and then helped me with my bracelet. Renee then loaned me the handkerchief she had carried with her when she married my father. My something new was the necklace. Old was the rest of my jewelry, and the blue were my panties.

I moved my engagement ring over to my right hand. I glanced into the mirror when my mother handed me my bouquet made of the same orchids that were in my hair.

The smile on my face could have lit up Times Square.

Here I come, Eddie, I thought.

We took a few more staged pictures before we headed out to meet up with Charlie.

"You're beautiful, Bells." My father may not have been the most vocal or in touch with his feelings man, but I could tell he had been affected by my appearance in my wedding dress.

"Thanks, Dad."

"You know, if you're not sure of the sissy actor dude, we can sneak out the front since they're all at the beach right now."

I shook my head at his silliness. I knew he liked Edward; he couldn't have asked for a better man to come along and love me. Edward was perfect son-in-law material.

"I want, no, need to marry him. Eddie is my forever." It really was as simple as that.

"Well, let's get the show on the road." Dad led me out the back door to where Makie was waiting.

"Okay, Bella, everyone is seated. Once the music changes, count to twenty and then begin walking slowly. You have a very short aisle after all." I nodded and she signaled the change into the Hawaiian Wedding Song.

With one last deep breath and a smile, I said, "Don't let me fall, Daddy."

He shook his head. "Never."

I kept my eyes straight ahead, searching for Edward.

And then he was there...

Thank you for reading and reviewing. We'll see Wednesday with the last regular chapter before the epi. xx Dee
