Chapter 17

The Big Day

EPOV

I awoke that morning to Emmett singing 'here comes the bride".

I threw a pillow at him and told him that I think an angel was actually dying because his singing was so bad!

With that, he picked me up out of bed and threw me in an ice cold shower.

I screamed like a girl, the water was so damn cold, my manhood all but shriveled to keep warm!

I turned the water to hot and finished my shower.

I was smiling the entire time, thinking of MY Bella!

I can't believe this day is finally here.

I've waited fort his day for so long, we've came such a long way, in such a short time.

I truly love this woman with all my being, there is nothing I will ever, ever deny her.

I knew when we got home, my first promise to keep was to get a dog. She had been begging me for weeks. I told her it wouldn't be fair to the dog, if we'd just got it and then had to leave it, she understood.

Next, we were going to travel on every school break there was, even if it was a 3 day weekend, we were going somewhere.

We also wanted to start a family within the year. Some people thought it was rushing, but we knew better.

We know what we wanted and we were not going to let anyone stand in our way!

"Edward! Edward!!!!!!!" I heard a voice calling me.

I looked up and it was Jasper.

"Oh, sorry dude, I was just thinking of Bella." I smiled.

"S'o.k. Are you going to eat today? It's 2p.m., you've been on the patio for hours, just smiling and day dreaming." Jasper said.

"Yeah, I can't keep my mind off of Bella, she is driving me crazy and she's not even here! Every time I close my eyes, I see hers and I hear her beautiful laugh." I sighed.

"Let's go out for a few and get some lunch, Emmett is waiting, he's starving too, so if you don't want to be carried down the stairs, you better get a move on." Jasper urged.

I jumped up and put my shoes on and ran out the door with Jasper.

BPOV

"BELLA!!!" Alice screamed in my ear.

I groaned and put the pillow over my head.

Alice pulled it off and poured ice cold water on my head!

"Alice!!!" "What the fuck are you doing?!?!?!" I screamed.

"We have to go… 20 minutes to get to the spa… Here, throw these on!" Alice said as she threw clothes at me.

"Alice? Have you lost your mind? Sweats? You're letting me, Isabella Marie Swan, wear sweats!" I was laughing.

"Look at the ass of your pants and you'll see why, smartass!" Alice smiled.

I took the pants off the bed and looked at the ass, 'Mrs. Cullen", that's what was across the ass.

"Now, look at the tank." Alice said.

I picked up the tank and on the left boob, it had our monogram on it.

"Alice I love it!!! Where did you ever???" I questioned.

Alice just smiled and gave me the I can get anything I want look.

She then handed me flip flops and a baseball that said 'bride'.

I ran into the bathroom to brush my teeth and quickly wash off, she said no need for a shower, because of everything we were getting done today, we'd shower after.

We quickly hurried to the spa for our morning of relaxation.

As we were exiting the elevator, Jasper was there, waiting for the other one.

Alice ran up and gave him a quick hug. I walked over to him and whispered in his ear, Alice looking at me strangely and when I was done, kissed his cheek and said 'promise'.

Jasper shook his head yes and headed into the elevator.

"What did you whisper in my man's ear missy?" Alice was giggling.

"Just something I needed him to tell Edward, that's all." I smiled.

We walked into the Spa and were greeted by several people, expecting us, none the less.

First off was facials and waxing, a fact I cringed at.

Alice assured me it was for my own good.

I gave her a weak smile and said "Let the pain begin!"

They waxed every part of by body they could get a hold of, then a facial, followed by a body wrap and massage and then a trip to the sauna and finally hair and mani/pedi…

By the time we were done, we'd both had an entire bottle of champagne and were very giggly.

It was a little after 2, everything was done on us, as they had us shower after our sauna, so we just had to wait for me to get dressed, so we decided to watch movies and order room service.

We were waiting for the elevator, it opened and who was standing before me, but the incredibly handsome Edward Cullen himself, my husband in a few short hours.

I smiled and drifted towards him, Alice and Jasper caught us both, Jasper covering Edwards eyes and shoving him out of the elevator, as Alice shoved me in and Edward was using profanities under his breath.

He did manage to yell out " I LOVE YOU ISABELLA MARIE SWAN ~ CULLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" at the top of his lungs, before the doors shut.

I smiled and leaned against the wall of the elevator, listening to that over and over again in my head!!!

We got to Alice's room and ordered our food and some wine, ordered a movie and slid under her comforter to watch the movie.

We laughed and laughed and then, it was 5. Only one hour left…

On queue, Rosalie and Esme were at the door, to help me get on my dress and get into their's.

Esme hadn't seen the dress yet and she started crying…

I told her to stop, because she was going to make me start.

Charlie knocked on the door to see if we were ready, we all nodded and Charlie was grinning ear to ear.

I let the 3 ladies go down first, because I wanted to talk to my dad.

"So, was it worth all the groundings and fights about Edward? Are you happy he's going to be your son-in-law, dad?" I asked truthfully.

"Bells. I wouldn't have it any other way! Edward has turned out to be a fantastic man. He loves you and cares for you more than anyone has ever cared for anyone, you two almost remind me of Romeo and Juliet, except you aren't going to have a tragic ending, you're going to have your 'happily ever after' and all I ask of you is that you treat him with all the love and respect you have always felt for him, be honest, always, no matter what the consequences are and give me some grandkids…please!!! I know Esme and Carlisle are ready for some too. They said Edwards's room was going to be transformed into a nursery." Charlie exclaimed.

The elevator doors opened and he helped me in.

We walked into the side room where everyone was waiting for us, I was sad because Renee couldn't be here, she was horribly sick, Carlisle even flew to Florida to try and make her well, but she had some kind of staph infection and she wasn't safe around anyone. We were taping it for her though, so she'd be able to see it.

The music started and Esme was escorted to her seat by Jasper.

Jasper then went to stand next to Emmett who was Edwards best man.

Roaslie walked down first and Emmett grinned so large, it looked like his face was going to break.

Next was Alice, who practically danced down the aisle.

Then Charlie and I.

I was so nervous, I had a tight grip on my dad, for fear I might faint, then I looked up and saw his eyes and I knew everything would be fine.

The pastor asked who gave me away and my father said he did, then Edward walked down to me, took my hand and walked me back up to the pastor, never letting our eyes unlock.

He kissed my hand when we reached the top and winked at me, then he whispered, 'you are the most beautiful and amazing looking woman I've ever seen.' And the heat rose.

EPOV

I thought of what Jasper had whispered to me when he got back to the room.

"Oh, By the way, I ran into Alice and Bella this morning. Bella whispered in my ear, for me to tell you 'stay calm big boy, when we're alone I'm going to tear you up!"

I smiled at that thought.

Jasper was laughing at the thought and I slapped him told him I was well aware of his dirty mind.

I went about taking a second shower and getting ready.

Waiting until it was my time to see her.

Jasper had ordered up some finger foods and Jack and coke to calm my nerves…

I didn't realize how nervous I was until I had a couple of drinks…

I sat down on the edge of my bed , closed my eyes and thought of Bella.

I'm not sure how long I'd sat there, but someone was shaking me.

"Damn it Edward!" I opened my eyes to see a stressed out Emmett.

"I need your help with this tie, hurry we've got to be down stairs in 20 minutes." he spat.

"Calm down man! It'll be fine. As long as you've got the rings, everything is fine." I replied and he held out the box for me to see.

I smiled and finished his tie, broke Jasper away from the video games and we all headed down stairs.

I think those two were more nervous than me. I had been waiting for this day my entire life.

Ever since I was 5, I knew I was going to get married and I always pictured her pretty much to look like Bella.

Fate works in crazy ways.

Then the music started and that's when the nerves came.

As soon as she walked down the aisle, I had to shift myself, she was more than amazing looking!

That dress, she couldn't describe it if she'd tried, it looked like a midsummer's dream!

She looked just out of a fairy tale.

I was in a state of shock when I saw Charlie hand her off to me, I can't believe he was actually going to give his daughter over to me, after all the heartache I caused her, all the late nights of keeping her past curfew and all the groundings, she was finally mine and he was willingly giving her up.

When he passed her off to me, he said "You'd better take good care of my baby, if not you'll be answering to me and Bessie (he patted his side, to motion his gun) and gave me a wink. Clapped me on the back and gave her hand to me, I'd kept my eyes on her the entire time, never looking away, even when Charlie was talking to me.

I walked her up the stairs to the pastor and kissed Bella's hand, the pastor then proceeded.

The pastor proceeded with our vows and Edward and I had wrote declarations of our love for one another.

Edward began.

Together, we can accomplish anything.

Together, we can be better than alone.

Together, we will share our love with the world.

Together, our love will be a bond to strong to break.

Together, we will be as one and face the world, letting nothing hold us back.

Together, we are one.

I love you forever and always Isabella Marie Cullen.

Mine were as followed:

We have already been through a lot together, and I believe God has been preparing us for this moment and for our future together.

When you need someone to encourage you, I want it to be me.

When you long for someone to smile at, I want it to be me.

I promise to keep the good memories alive and let the bad ones die.

I promise to treat each morning as a new day to love you, the gift I have been given.

Through the good and the bad, I will always be there for you, by your side.

I pledge my all to you.

I love you forever and always Edward Anthony Cullen.

The pastor then announced us as Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen, and said you my kiss the bride.

Edward dipped me and gave me the most wonderful kiss. It sent shock waves through my body.

When he finally pulled me up, I was so dizzy, I looked at him and smiled, we held our hands up as a symbol of togetherness, forever. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

We left the big hall to go have more pictures taken, before being whisked away by Alice to put on my reception dress.

"But Alice, we spent all that money on my wedding dress, why can't I wear it?" I threw a mini tantrum.

"Would you forgive your self if you ripped or spilt something on that dress?" Alice shot back.

"No, I guess not." I put my head down.

"O.K., that why we have reception dress, even sexier." she chirped.

It was a strapless dress, simple and above the knee, satin with lace overlay, very romantic and sexy.

Alice zipped me up, looked me up and down and said "O.k., sis we can go now!"

I looked at her and grabbed her into a big hug, "I am your sis now, I love the sound of that!"

I started to cry and she shushed me, saying I had to be happy, she had no clue how happy I was right at that moment.

We walked into the hallway and the DJ was getting ready to announce the wedding party.

"Let's give it up for the wedding party:

First up:

Groomsmen: Jasper Hale

Bridesmaid: Rosalie Hale Cullen

Next:

Best Man: Emmett Cullen

Maid of Honor: Alice Cullen

And finally, the couple of the century…..

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Anthony Cullen

We walked through the door, everyone stood and applauded.

We took to the dance floor for our first dance; he leaned down in my ear and whispered, I picked this out just for you.

The music started and it was my lullaby.

I started to cry.

He kissed my tears away and told me to be happy, I had never been happier I assured him.

We danced for what seemed like forever.

When the song was over, everyone was clapping again.

The DJ announced dinner was about to be served and asked everyone to return to their seats.

Emmett stood up and gave a speech while dinners where being passed out.

"Edward, you and Bella have been through so much! I am happy to be a part of finally bringing you 2 together here today. I wish only the best for you 2 and hopefully we'll have little ones running around here soon, I'm so ready to be an uncle. You've got 2 weeks ahead of you, to work on it, no excuses!!! I love you guys!"

Bella was blushing.

After that, it was Alice's turn.

"I have seen you both at your happiest, saddest, angriest and miserablest! I am so happy to be a part of bringing you 2 back together as well and hoping that you'll find all the happiness in the world, because if anyone deserves it it's you 2. After everything you've been through, having each other, after playing hard to get, declaring your undying love to one another, losing each other, finding each other after 8 years and falling madly in love again and this whirlwind romance, you 2 are going to be so happy together!

I also can't wait to be an aunt, but it better be a girl, I need a shopping partner! So get on it! I love you guys!"

I leaned over and kissed Bella, just a small kiss, then I whispered in her ear 'how long do we have to stay? I want to take you up on your offer this morning that you had Jasper relay to me.' I kissed the top of her head and stood to make my own speech, as I did, I looked at Bella and she was 10 shades of red, blushing.

"Thank you everyone for being here tonight with my family, that includes you now too Charlie.

Thank you for trusting your daughter to me, I will always love her and take care of her. We are so happy to have such a wonderful group of people surround us. This wouldn't have been possible without all the hekp from my family. Especially Esme and Alice, they put this entire thing together on really short notice, thank you all again for sharing in the beginning of our future and we hope to grace you all very soon with little Cullen's running amuck. Thank you family and friends! Without you, none of this would be possible!"

We all enjoyed the rest of the reception.

We danced and danced and then it was time for the cake.

She looked at me with pleading eyes to not do what she thought I was going to do, as we fed each other cake.

We both got a piece of cake and slowly making our way towards each others mouths, looking to just dare the other. I made it to her first, giving her the first bite, she took it gently and sucked the frosting off my fingers, very x-rated, we would need to leave soon and bring some cake with us, I thought. I had a little left on my finger, I touched it to her nose, she took her piece and of course did what I so wanted to do to her, she smeared it all over my face!

I pulled her in for a kiss and she wore it as well, but she enjoyed licking it off my lips and chin.

Oh God, we need to go.

I whispered to Jasper to let the DJ announce out departure.

As he did, Bella and I walked out, in a flurry of bubbles.

We reached the valet, up trotted a horse and buggy.

I helped her into the buggy and we waved goodbye to everyone.

The driver took us the long way around to the cabin, so we could enjoy the scenery, not what I was wanting to enjoy at this point and time, I only wanted to enjoy my wife!

We finally made it back, I motioned for her to wait and I ran and unlocked the door, I grabbed her by the waist and picked her up bridal style to carry her across the threshold.

We went straight to the bedroom and started undressing, both of us filled with want and desire.

I lit candles and put on soft music, our first night together as husband and wife.

We really did have the happily ever after!
