A/N: SM owns Twilight. Well I have been moving house for what seems like FOREVER so apologies for the delay in posting. I am glad y'all enjoyed the bucks night hens night. Thanks so much for the reviews, follows and favourites. Wedding time! Happy dance!

Anthony and I returned home after picking up our matching suits, man that was fun, only to find the house in an uproar.

Apparently Lil Bit had spilled juice on her dress during her final fitting. Why someone had given her juice while she was wearing her flower girl dress was a mystery. Alice was upset that the flowers were the wrong shade of lilac. Eric was experiencing performance anxiety finishing the cake knowing that it was for his mentor aka my Isabella and on top of that Zaffy was panicking because the piano tuner was late.

These were all event management and catering professionals but of course this was our event so everyone was freaking out.

I looked down at Anthony and he smiled up at me, he was clearly loving every minute of the chaos that was our household. I nodded knowingly, sighed and then dove straight into the madness.

I held my hands up and whistled as loud as I could to get silence, "Esme... Ma, I'm sure we can spot clean the dress. Alice the flowers are beautiful. Eric, Bella has 100% confidence in your abilities and I am sure when I feed her a piece of the cake later this evening she will love it ... Zaffy don't stress about the piano I spoke with the tuner and he will be here in about 20 minutes."

They all looked at me in shock.

"C'mon guys, don't sweat the small stuff, focus on what really matters and just work the problem. This is my wedding day and it will be perfect. Now can someone please tell me where the soon to be Mrs Edward Cullen is hiding?"

Esme giggled, "Where do you think your sweet baker is hiding in the midst of all this craziness?"

I grabbed Anthony's hand and we headed straight into the kitchen. Sure enough there was Bella cooking up a storm with every flat surface in our kitchen covered with platters of petit fours of every glorious variety. The kitchen smelled amazing.

It was then that I noticed Vicky, who was sitting on a stool staring at Bella with a combination of awe and fear. My sweet one's cooking frenzy had stunned the loud mouth Victoria into silence. I had now seen everything.

Bella was wearing an apron covering my favourite Daisy Duke short shorts and a tiny blue tank top which hugged her luscious breasts perfectly. Flour smeared her cheek and her hair was in these huge curler things, she looked fucking adorable. She was chirping away to the stunned silent Vicky at a hundred words a minute explaining the subtle differences in the recipes she was trialling for the Sweet Temptations range.

I leaned down to Anthony, "Why don't you go and find Lil Bit and see what she is up to since everyone else seems to be losing their minds?"

He chuckled, "Sure Dad." He trotted off peering into each room he passed trying to find his little sister.

I sighed and walked towards my girl. I circled my arm around her waist and pulled her back against my chest, I leaned down and placed a wet kiss on her neck just below her ear. She let out a delicious soft moan.

"Now my sweet one," I whispered in her ear and then kissed her again a little lower on her neck causing her to moan again, "what the hell are you doing here, hmm? Most women on their wedding day spend hours at the Spa but of course," I then kissed her between every word, "My. Brilliant.", if a little neurotic, "Baker. Is. Cooking."

I turned her in my arms and her eyes were hooded with lust. Oh my. "So my love, what's going on in that beautiful mind, hmm?"

She leaned in, kissed my neck and started kissing her way up to my ear and whispered, "I missed you baby. I can't wait to make love with you as your wife."

Pregnancy hormones were wonderful! It was my turn to moan. But then I looked over and realised that Vicky was looking at me with a cocked eyebrow.

"You two sexy fuckers have to stop this mutual molestation right the fuck now!" She came over and pulled my girl out of my arms, "Back away from the bride Eddie boy. Seriously, now I understand why the groom isn't supposed to see the bride on the wedding day... horny buggers."

Bella playfully pulled out of Vicky's grip and ran back into my arms. I held her tight and turned away from Vicky jokingly growling, "Mine".

I leaned down and kissed Bella so deeply, so passionately she melted into my arms. Fuck I loved this woman.

Esme entered the kitchen and burst our little bubble, "Edward Anthony Masen Cullen let go of poor Isabella, you're going to ruin her hair."

I looked at the curlers in Bella's hair laughing and wondering how I could possibly ruin this bizarre arrangement.

"Dumpling, let go of Bella right now and go deal with the piano tuner, Zaffy said that he's finally arrived. And Isabella dear it's time you started dressing, you don't want to get married in those short shorts do you?"

I looked at Bella's butt in those fabulous shorts, "She looks pretty good to me Ma."

"Oh shoo, Edward. Let her go right now," she winked at me.

"Yes Ma," I kissed my girl's nose, "I'll see you in Church."

"I'll be the one in white," she giggled and gave me a little wave. Vixen.

I headed down the hall to the dining room which was being set up with tables for this evening's reception. In the corner they'd set up the piano I'd had delivered the day before. There I found both Anthony and Lil Bit sitting on the piano stool watching the piano tuner's every move with complete fascination.

I sat down with them pulling Lil Bit into my lap, "Hey Henry, thanks for coming today. I appreciate you fitting us in." Henry was the best piano specialist in Seattle and I was very lucky he was able to come today.

"No problem Edward, how is the Bosendorfer settling in since I tuned her?"

"She's a little touchy. I'll need to get you in again when I get back from my honeymoon."

He gave me a look of sympathy, "Well the old girl's been left alone too long Ed. I hope you're going to keep playing after today's little 'performance'."

I chuckled and nodded. My uncles gave my mother the Bosendorfer grand piano as a wedding present and I learned to play on it but had left it behind with just about everything else after the loss of my parents.

Music was just one more thing that Bella had brought back into my life. I was playing every day again and I loved it.

Henry worked away and answered all of Lil Bit's questions, she was absolutely fascinated by the piano. I think Alice was right about her innate musical ability. She was always singing, humming and dancing. It would be fun to teach her to play. Anthony seemed more interested in the shape of the instrument and asked me lots of questions about it. It was a welcome break from the wedding madness in the rest of the house.

After about an hour of meticulous work Henry was finally finished, "Okay Ed, you want to try her out. I think we've got a nice sound from her."

I placed my fingers on the keys and ran scales, it sounded really nice. A warm round sound. Henry was the best!

"Daddee, yoo pway momma's song for me?"

"Let's sing something else, momma might hear me if I sing her special song and I want that to be a surprise for tonight. But let's sing the lullaby I've been singing to you, is that okay?"

"Okay but it not bedtime, please daddee?"

Her speech was getting better every day with Anthony's coaching, I chuckled and kissed the top of her, "No, it's not bed time little love."

She nodded. She was still in my lap so I placed her hands over the tops of my hands so she feel me play and I started to sing.

Stars shining bright above you;

Night breezes seem to whisper 'I love you'.

Birds singing in the sycamore tree.

Dream a little dream of me.

Anthony leaned into me and Lil Bit started humming along.

Say nighty-night and kiss me;

Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.

While I'm alone, blue as can be,

Dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear -

Still craving your kiss.

I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear,

Just saying this...

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you -

Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.

But in your dreams, whatever they be,

Dream a little dream of me.

I played the solo piano section with Lil Bit's little fingers riding on top of mine, she giggled fascinated by the movements.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear -

Still craving your kiss.

I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear,

Just saying this...

Then Lil Bit took over singing the last chorus in the sweetest little voice you ever heard...

Sweet dweams till sunbeams find yoo -

Sweet dweams that weave all wowees be hind yoo.

But in yor dweams, what eva dey be,

Dweam a little dweam of me

I was stunned. She sang so beautifully, she turned and looked at me with her big blue eyes, a huge smile on her face.

Anthony leaned forward and placed a little kiss on her cheek, "That was lovely Dad, Lil Bit you have a beautiful voice." Loud applause was coming from the doorway where all the women in the household were huddled together weeping and cheering.

"Damn Bella, you are a lucky bitch," Vicky of course.

"Victoria, language in front of the children," Esme scolded through her happy tears. She walked over to me and hugged all three of us, "Oh Dumpling it is so lovely to hear you play and sing again ... and Miss Elizabeth my precious petal, you have a lovely voice." She kissed the top of her head.

"Fank yoo, nonna."

"Th ank, Elizabeth, remember," Anthony said gently showing her how to make the TH sound.

Lil Bit smiled watching him then stuck her tongue out between her teeth in the most hilarious exaggerated way, "TH ank yoo nonna."

Anthony took her hand as she climbed down off my lap and together they headed out of the room towards the family room.

Zafrina wiped the tears from her eyes and clapped her hands, "Okay, time for the men to get dressed and leave. And you Miss Isabella, it's time for you to come and get beautified. Chop, Chop everyone!"

As the others moved off, Bella stood still in the doorway where she'd been standing with the others watching us at the piano. Our eyes were locked on each other's and I felt a warm wash of calm flow over me. I was getting married. I was getting married to the most beautiful, warm hearted, intelligent sweet woman. I was the luckiest fucker in the world. A smile crept over our faces as we continued to look at each other, both of us realising silently that we were both pretty lucky.

Zafrina came and moved Bella away but we held each other's gaze until she was out of view.

"Anthony," I called, "Come on son, we have to go and dress."

He ran back to me and jumped into my arms. "Let's get going Ant, I want to get married as soon as possible." He laughed and we headed out to go to my parents where all the men were congregating to prepare.

When we arrived Emmett and Jasper were arguing about the correct way to tie a bow tie. Dad, Bob, Marcus and Aro were all out back enjoying a beer on the back patio, fully dressed and clearly ignoring the great Bow Tie Debate.

Rushing past the argument Ant and I headed upstairs to my old bedroom. I hung up our suit bags and laid out Anthony's underwear, shoes and socks. I found a gift box sitting on my bed. I reached down and saw the card, "To my Edward, I love you. Thank you for bringing so much love into my life. MY cup runneth over baby. Your sweet one." I smiled and opened the box to find two chocolate croissants and a small box containing a pair of platinum cufflinks with Edward & Bella engraved into them.

I handed Anthony one of the croissants and took a huge bite of the other letting out a deep guttural moan.

"Momma really loves you doesn't she Daddy." Anthony said before taking a bite from his croissant and moaning almost as loudly as I did.

I laughed, "Yes, son she does. I don't know why and I certainly don't deserve her but she does love me. I am truly blessed." We finished our croissants in an almost reverential silence and when we were done we were both pretty messy.

"Okay, you hop in the shower in here and I'll shower in the guest bathroom. Time for us to get ourselves all spruced up. Your old man is getting married and I am so glad you are here to be part of this with me, Anthony. I love you son. I hope you know that."

He hugged me and chuckled, "Yeah, I know. I love you too."

"Okay enough of the heavy. Let's get cleaned up."

I spent the next hour shaving, showering, dressing and helping Ant with his suit and bow tie. I didn't dare invite Emmett or Jasper to help, they'd probably argue over what is the best way to tie shoelaces.

I had no idea why but those two were always competing with each other. A crazy sort of bro'mance was developing between them. Jasper forgave me almost immediately for the punch I'd laid on him at the Club that night in my attempt to save him from being completely laid out by Emmett. I think Emmett feels bad for giving Jazz a hard time and really wanted to be friends with him for Alice's sake. I think Jasper really likes my big bear of a brother too. But they just seemed to express the friendship by competing ... about everything!

When Ant and I were dressed we were looking in the mirror, me standing behind him, when a photographer's flash almost blinded us.

"Just go about your preparations, pretend I am not here. Alice asked me to get some natural photos of you and my colleague is over taking photos of the bride. Wow your son really looks like you doesn't he?"

I nodded at him and turned back to the mirror placing my hand on Ant's shoulder. We smiled at each other. We brushed up pretty well, although both of us failed completely to do anything sensible with our crazy hair but I was okay with that. Bella loved my crazy 'sex' hair as she called it. So that was all I cared about.

"You ready Dad?"

"I am so ready Ant. Let's go."

When I got down to the lounge room all the men were standing in a semi circle holding whiskey tumblers. Bob handed a glass with juice to Anthony while Dad handed me a tumbler and poured me a double shot of my favourite Connemara Cask Strength Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey. I looked at the bottle and laughed as I remembered that it was a bottle of this very whiskey that that uncovered James' and Tanya's betrayal and ultimately led me to my Isabella.

Aro cleared his throat and then spoke, "My dear nephew Edward, these fine gentlemen have tasked me with the responsibility of raising a toast to celebrate your last few moments as a single man." He winked at me and then raised his glass, "May you treasure the gift that is Isabella's love, honour her trust with your faithfulness, protect her vulnerability when she needs you most, and support the fulfilment of her most cherished dreams. Be the man we know you were raised to be and be the man Bella deserves. To Edward! Salut!"

They all raised their glasses and shouted together, "To Edward! Salut!"

I was at risk of losing control of my emotions so I said a quiet, "Thank you Uncle. Thank you all," and threw back the double.

They all laughed at my eagerness.

Dad patted my back taking the glass from me, "Let's go. Esme will kill me if I don't get you to the Church on time."

As they turned to head out, I tapped the pocket where I'd place the gift I had for my Bella. It was really time. Finally, I was going to make her mine, she was going to be my wife. Mrs Edward Cullen. Fuck. I couldn't be happier.

Anthony reached for my hand, "I've got the rings Daddy. It's time to go."

I nodded and we headed out piling into the two black stretch Hummers Emmett had ordered to take us to the Church. Crazy fucker.

When we arrived at the Church, all the men split off. Jazz and Dad were ushers, Bob, and my two Uncles went to find Carol and Sulpicia. Emmett and Anthony led me down the aisle greeting people as we went. The Church was already filling with our guests. The decorations were beautiful. Large pillar candles, soft lighting, soft music playing, lilac flowers were everywhere and softly draped from the ceiling to the corners of the room were yards and yards of deep green and soft brown silk. Green vines were twined around the end of the pews. I remember Zafrina telling me her vision but I had no idea it would look this beautiful.

Emily, Seth, Leah and little Seth were seated together and smiled warmly at me. Jess and Lauren were sitting with Jane, Alec, Tyler and Zaffy. I gave Zafrina a hug and thanked her for making it all look so beautiful. She looked really chuffed.

Anthony was still holding my hand and I suddenly remembered my gift for Bella. I took the small box and handed it to Anthony, "Ant I need you to take this to Momma and tell her I love her more than my own life. Can you do that son?"

"Sure Dad... more than my own life... okay."

He ran to Alice at the back of the Church showing her the gift she smiled and I watched as she guided him to a room at the back of the Church. He was gone for about five minutes, it felt like an hour before he came trotting back to me with a huge grin and lipstick marks on his cheek. I chuckled at the sight.

"Auntie Rose says you're in big trouble for 'making her belly cry'."

I laughed, "Did she like the gift?"

"She opened the locket and read the words inside but they sounded funny. She asked me what they meant. I said that you told me to tell her that you loved her 'more than your own life', and then she started to cry. Auntie Alice helped her put it on and told me to come back out to you. Momma looks beautiful, Dad."

"She always does Ant, she always does."

Jacob came out and joined us, "You ready for this Edward? Speak now or forever hold your peace."

I laughed, "Yes Jacob. I am ready. More than ready."

"That's good because your bride is about to enter the Church. You might want to turn around so you can watch her," he teased.

Oh God. This is it. Finally.

Everyone turned in their seats as Lil Bit started walking slowly down the aisle carrying a small basket filled with lilac flower petals. She looked so beautiful in her long Lilac toned dress, her rich mahogany hair in long ringlets, my engagement necklace around her neck.

She was about a third the way along when she tripped a little, she didn't fall but she dropped her little basket. She looked up with tears in her eyes and her bottom lip started to tremble. I was about to run to her when little Seth walked down the aisle, picked up the basket, took her hand, kissed her cheek and smiled at her. She smiled back at him as he turned to lead her down the aisle and her beautiful smile was back.

They walked down the aisle together, holding hands. He held the basket as she reached in with her free hand and scattered the petals. Watching them I got a flash of the image of them all grown up walking down the aisle together for their own wedding. I looked over to Leah and she smiled at me with a knowing look. Yes, Seth was Lil Bit's 'speshal' friend indeed.

When they got to the end she ran to me, "Daddee, yoo look pwetty jus like momma."

Everyone chuckled quietly.

I wrapped her in my arms, "You look pretty too. You did so well with the flowers my little love. Thank you Seth."

"Come on Elizabeth, let's sit here with Anthony," Seth led her over to the seat where Anthony was sitting with the ring pillow held carefully on his lap. Lil Bit sat between them. It was a pretty damn cute.

When I looked up Rose had already come down the aisle and it was time for Isabella's entrance. I took a deep breath to calm myself. Everyone stood and turned. I looked up the aisle and there she was. How could this beautiful woman be meant for me? How could I possibly deserve her?

She was on Sam's arm walking slowly towards me. She was smiling at everyone but looked a little nervous and then our eyes met.

I knew I was supposed to wait for her to walk to me but I couldn't stand it. Chuckles broke out as I walked half way up the aisle to meet her. I didn't care about convention. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She walked into my open arms and looked up to me as I wrapped her in my embrace.

She looked so beautiful. She was Artemis personified. Her long silken dress was wrapped around in soft waves, you'd never believe they'd had to adjust it to allow for her tiny little baby bump. One of her shoulders was exposed and her hair was draped to one side, woven into an intricate plait which flowed sensuously down to her deliciously ripe breasts. Damn.

I leaned down and kissed her. Her hands snaked up around my neck and into my hair. We were lost in each other oblivious to the snickering and the 'awws' coming from all around us until Sam tapped me on the shoulder, "Umm... Edward... she's not your wife yet."

We broke our kiss and Bella blushed her sweet blush, burying her face into my chest.

I kissed the top of her beautiful hair, "Will you marry me now my sweet Isabella?"

She turned her face to me and whispered, "Please."

I kissed her soft lips, chastely this time. I shook Sam's hand, "Thanks for loving my girls Sam. I will be forever grateful to you."

He nodded and kissed Bella's cheek.

I turned Bella and I to finish the walk down the aisle together to the waiting and highly amused Jacob.

To be completely truthful, I don't really remember anything that was said and done from that point. I know that Jacob talked about love and family, about loss and courage, about trust and faith. But what I truly remember was looking into Bella's eyes and her locking her gaze with mine.

When it was time for our vows, Bella and I had decided to speak the words my mother had used to bring us together, so we recited the passage to each other alternating each line:

"Love is patient"

"Love is kind"

"It does not envy"

"It does not boast"

"It is not proud"

"It is not rude"

"It is not self-seeking"

"It is not easily angered"

"It keeps no record of wrongs"

"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth"

"It always protects"

"Love always trusts"

"Love always hopes"

"Love always perseveres"

I reached down and took the ring from Anthony and winked at him before turning to my sweet one again.

"My sweet Isabella, you have brought trust, hope, music, forgiveness and love back into my life. You've healed my aching heart and I offer it to you now with no reservations. You have enveloped me in your goodness and I will spend the rest of my life endeavouring to deserve you. I have waited a long time for you my love. I will love you forever and one day more than that."

I placed my wedding ring on her finger and reached up to hold her cheek in my hands, wiping the single tear that fell with my thumb.

She took a deep breath and smiled an amazing smile at me before reaching down to take the wedding ring from Anthony. She bent down and kissed his cheek, "I love you Anthony." He beamed an adoring smile at her and then took his seat next to Lil Bit again.

Bella turned to me and placed the ring against my finger and I was desperate for her to place it all the way on my finger.

She looked up into my eyes, "One beautiful wonderful day, not very long ago, the most handsome but angry man came into my bakery and I was lost to him from that first moment. As I got to know you I knew you were the only man for me. You've given me your support, you've lightened my load, you've given me a crazy, loving family, you've given me a wonderful son and become a father to my daughter," she placed her hand on her tiny baby bump, "You've given me so much."

At last she slipped the ring the rest of the way on my finger, "But most of all Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, you've given me your love. I love you baby, now, forever ... and one more day than that."

I kissed her like my life depended on it. She was mine. I was hers. We were one. I kissed her deep and long.

I heard Jacob behind us, "Oh for heaven's sake! I give up. Your married. Everyone, meet Mr and Mrs Edward Cullen. God love them."

I heard cheering and I felt Lil Bit and Anthony's hugs around our legs, but I didn't break away. I was kissing my wife and I never ever wanted to stop.

A/N... *tears* Mr and Mrs Cullen - at last. I hope you liked it. I love y'all. *hugs*
