A/N Thanks to my very special friend OoJasper'sAngeloO for her beta work on this chapter. The song is a real song and its beautiful, go and listen to it. Alright, we have a wedding, maybe, and some humor in this chapter. Unfortunately, the lemon won't be until the next chapter. Sorry, I want to do it justice. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

I still don't own Twilight or any of the characters.

Bella's POV

I couldn't believe that he was doing this. If it had been anyone else doing this then I would have said no. But this isn't just anyone, this is Jasper, my mate. He's already mine, and I'm his. At least that's what I'm understanding what it means to be mates.

I understood what he was saying by doing this. He wanted to show me through human means that he was committed to me no matter what. I couldn't stop the tears from falling. They were tears of joy, tears of understanding and I was going to let him know it, crowd be damned.

If Edward had ever tried anything like this I would have been pissed off. Then again I wasn't his mate, I'm Jasper's and he's totally different than Edward. I can see that now. I'm different as well. I'm not the same fucking little girl that was infatuated with the boy who thought he was a man and knew better than me what was good for me. Fucking idiot!

Now is not the time to be thinking of his ass though. My mate is still on his knees waiting for me to give him an answer. I looked down into his beautiful eyes and gasped. They were red, but no one else could see them right now, but that wasn't why I had gasped. The red didn't bother me like I thought it would.

No, what made me gasp was the amount of love, hope and maybe even a bit of lust I saw shining out at me. This was the moment when I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that I was his and he was mine. No one would ever love me like he could and no one would love him like I could. We belonged together and nothing or no one would be able to tell me otherwise.

The tears came harder and I could no longer speak, so I nodded yes. His reaction kind of shocked me. He jumped up and grabbing me he kissed me and spun me around. Then he put me down and started telling everyone that I had said yes. Then he really startled me by telling everyone that if they wanted to watch us get married to be back here in two hours. The wedding was to be held here while the light show was going on.

To say that the next two hours were chaotic would be putting it mildly. I was whisked off by Rose and Char to a shop that apparently Char knew about. They were waiting for me with some gowns in my size. None of them looked right on me, so we had to try on at least a dozen more.

It took awhile, but I finally found one that resembled the type of dresses that they wore in the eighteen hundreds, specifically around the time of the civil war. It even had the hoop skirt. I kind of glared at Char and she just fucking smiled at me and said that she might have sent the details of the dress to have them make one that would make the Major lose his shit as Peter would say. Apparently Peter's knowing shit had come in handy. He knew that he wanted to make his brother's wedding special for him and Char came up with the idea of having a dress made for me, one that would definitely make the Major happy. Although I felt the dress was a bit too much, I would wear it proudly knowing that he would love it and it would be special to him. It did look good on me.

Next I had to have my hair done, again done specifically for someone that lived during the civil war. It needed to match the dress. Since my hair was wavy and curled at the ends it was thought that it would be better to leave it down, but pulled back away from my face. The veil would be perfect for doing that.

The dress was off my shoulders and kind of low cut in the front as well as the back. The sleeves were three quarter length with ruffles on the ends. The dress was an antique white and very silky. The hoops were going to be the death of me for sure, but without them the dress just didn't look right.

Once back in the room I noticed that it was empty. Char told me that the guys were in the other suite getting ready and that they would be getting ready while I ate. After that they would be helping me get dressed. Once I was ready we would have to wait until my ride got here.

Room service had been ordered and instead of a heavy meal it was light, but enough to fill ten people up. Fruits, cheeses and different meats, along with different kinds of crackers and bread. I sat down and ate while waiting for the girls to get ready. They had bought gowns at the same time I got my dress.

I suddenly realized that I didn't have anything to wear for my wedding night. I was just about to panic when Char came into the room and told me that she had also had Rose help her pick out some lingerie for my wedding night and handed me a box from Victoria's Secret. I took one look at it and turned beet red. There was no fucking way I was going to wear this!

I was informed that not only would I be wearing it, but that I would be wearing it under my wedding dress. Char said that she had a feeling that the Major wouldn't wait until I could change out of my dress to have his way with me. At least this way I could kill two birds with one stone. It was a fucking corset. Red and just not leaving anything to the imagination.

I couldn't wear a bra with it but I could wear underwear, if I wanted to. That had Char and Rose laughing hard at my blush which I was sure was once again beet red. It didn't take long for my imagination to start running wild and I knew then what I was going to do.

When we had gone shopping earlier back in Texas I had gotten a few things with seducing Jasper in mind when I bought them. I went to my suitcase and after looking a few minutes found what I was looking for. When I held it up, Char squealed and said that Jasper wouldn't know what hit him when he saw what was under my dress.

Once I had my underthings on including the fucking corset which had to be tied in the back, the ladies helped me get dressed. That was a true piece of work, getting dressed. They had to maneuver the dress so that my hair didn't get messed up, but before that they had to put the hoops on.

I asked Char how in the fuck did women move or even sit in these things. She laughed and explained that only the richer women could wear what I was wearing. Most women of that day, at least the ones that didn't have money to spend, only wore the corsets, but if they were farmers then they didn't even have those to wear.

Her family, she explained, could afford the corsets for the females in the family, but they saw no reason to wear the hoops. They were mainly for the rich, or to wear for special occasions, like a wedding. Even though the poorer women still had to go without the hoops.

The ones that did wear them rarely sat down while wearing them and even then it was usually only to get to where ever the party was. They were extremely uncomfortable. The one I had on was a little more comfortable than the originals as it was made of different stuff.

I had guessed it wouldn't matter as I wouldn't be sitting until after the ceremony. At least that's what I thought until I was told that we had to wait until our ride got here to pick us up. I started to complain because the spot we were getting married at was within walking distance.

While waiting for the call to tell us that our transport was here, I asked Char if she knew what Jasper would be wearing since I was in this civil war era dress. She smirked and said, "Oh I think you'll like it. He's wearing a mix of a copy and his original uniform. You see when he left Maria he just happened to be wearing the pants to his Confederate uniform. I kept them even though he thought they had been tossed. We found someone who was able to make the shirt, jacket, belt and boots that went with the uniform. He'll be dressed as a Major in the Confederate army!"

Of course my mind went into overdrive and I came up with all kinds of kinky shit that I could do with the Major in uniform. I realized then that this wedding was going to be like what his real wedding would have been had he not been turned and fell in love with a human girl. He really was going to commit to me the human way before having me commit to him the vampire way.

We finally got the call that our ride awaited us. To say I was shocked when we got down there would be an understatement. It was a horse and carriage. There were flowers all over it. Rose and Char had to help me up into the carriage and then had to help me sit down. Next to the seat was a bouquet of roses with a note from Jasper letting me know that I was to carry these when I disembarked from the carriage.

Jasper was standing there waiting in the same spot he had proposed in. The person performing the ceremony was there in front of him and the crowd was back, along with many new faces. I guess word got around that there was going to be a wedding here.

Jasper looked so fucking HOT in his uniform. He was smiling more than I have ever seen him smile and he was staring at me. It was like I was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. It took the minister three times to get his attention to say his vows. Even then he answered with a "huh". It was funny to see a vampire completely dumb struck.

The vows were the same ones that were given during the same time so it was very old fashioned. I did have a problem with the obey part, but said them anyway. It didn't take long for him to pronounce us husband and wife. Jasper kind of jumped the gun and was kissing me before he declared us man and wife. That only made everyone laugh harder.

Once the kiss was over everyone was clapping. Then Jasper turned around and shocked me even more, "Listen everyone, thanks for letting us share the happiest moment of our lives with you. Now there's gonna be a reception in one of the ballrooms, please come and join us as we celebrate our special day. There's plenty of food, drinks, dancin' and maybe even some card games goin' on. Also my wife will be tossin' her bouquet to someone and I'll be tossin' the garter after I get it off of her hot little leg."

We climbed back up into the carriage and he had to help me sit down. With the fucking hoops he couldn't get as close as I wanted him to. We kissed the whole way which wasn't far, just about two blocks.

After getting out he led me to the ballroom where we did the cake shit. Although he put my cake in my mouth and then whispered, "I can wait to see what else I can get into that pretty lil' mouth of yours."

That earned him a shiver from me as well as the cake in his face. It was funny as hell seeing him with cake all over his face, but better for it to be on his face instead of in his stomach. After the cake we had to go into a small office to sign the marriage license.

As soon as we were back in the ballroom we headed to the dance floor. We did our first dance as husband and wife to a song called "Look at Us" by Vince Gill. As we danced I listened to the words and knew that Jasper had picked out the song just for this occasion.

Look at us, after all these years together.

Look at us after all we have been through,

Look at us, still leaning on each other.

If you want to see, how true love should be,

Then look at us.

Look at you, still pretty as a picture,

Look at me, still crazy over you.

Look at us, still believin' in forever.

If you want to see, how true love should be,

Then just look at us.

In a hundred years from now,

I know without a doubt,

They'll all look back and wonder how we made it all work out.

Chances are, we'll go down in history.

When they want to know,

How true love should be,

They'll just look at us.

Chorus

Once the dance was over he kissed me passionately. I heard Peter trying to cut in for a dance, but Jasper just growled low at him. After another minute we were separated and were dancing with Peter and Char. After that dance came Em wanting to know if I would allow him to have a dance as well.

I made his evening when I agreed to dance with my big brother. He was so happy that I was giving him another chance to prove himself to me. After the dance was over Jasper came back to claim me and proceeded to tell Peter, Em, Rose and Char to enjoy themselves, but told Peter to refrain from eating any of the guests.

We did the bouquet toss and an older lady caught it. She smiled sweetly at some guy in the crowd. Guess she was really wanting to marry the guy. Jasper took his chance to feel my bare legs as he went under the hoops to pull the garter off with his fucking teeth! I have no clue who actually caught it, but I hoped it was the guy the lady was smiling at.

He then quickly picked me up and left the ballroom, heading straight for the elevators that would take us to our suite. He held me close and once in the elevator proceeded to try to undo the hoops by reaching underneath the dress. I pulled back from him, laughing. I couldn't resist teasing him, "Sorry Major, you're just going to have to wait until we get to our suite. This dress is just too pretty for you to ruin by ripping it. Besides, I might just have a few surprises of my own tonight."

He growled and started cussing the elevator for being so fucking slow, in his words. He used another tactic, he pushed me up against the wall of the elevator and started to nuzzle my neck. He started kissing his way down my neck. I knew he was going to try to go even lower, but I really wanted him to take the dress off, because I really wanted to see his reaction to what I was wearing underneath, or lack thereof.

We finally made it to our suite. Jasper seemed to really be in a hurry now as he started growling when the doors were taking too long to open, as far as he was concerned that is. The second the door was open I was back in his arms and being carried into the main room. He growled out something that sounded like, "Takin' the stairs from now on. Elevator is too fuckin' slow."

The other problem was again, the fucking hoops. Because of them I couldn't get close to Jasper and it also meant the dress would have to be taken off by pulling it over my head. Since the hoops were tied underneath the dress it would have to come off first. I think Jasper was starting to get frustrated as he started growling again when I turned around for him to undo the hundreds of buttons on the back of my dress.

Well actually I think there were only about twenty-four but still enough to get my new husband frustrated. He seemed to be impatient to get my clothes off. I had to warn him again that I didn't want my dress ripped. I finally told him that maybe he should get out of his uniform while I was getting the dress and hoops off.

Asshole used his fucking vampire speed and was stripped down to only his boxers before I could get the fucking dress off. I swear the next time Char has an idea, it had better be simple. Right now I was ready to rip the dress off I heard laughter and it was coming from Jasper.

I'm guessing that him watching me get myself stuck with trying to pull the dress off was funny to him. It sure as hell wasn't sexy. Well let's just see how funny he thinks it is to have his wife sleep in the other room on his wedding night.

I'm guessing that he felt my emotions and started his fucking growling again. I do have to say that its fucking sexy as hell, but he really needs to give it a rest. Between this fucking dress and the fucking hoops I have just about had it. His growling wasn't helping anything either.

He finally stopped his laughing and came over to help me out of the dress. Once that was done he then untied the hoops. Of course there was a slip and since it was under the hoops it would still need to be removed for him to see what I was wearing just for him.

Of course he could see the corset and I knew immediately that he was looking forward to undoing it himself. It could have been the way he froze when he saw it, or maybe the smirk was the giveaway. Then again it could have been the way he groaned when he saw it.

After he removed the hoops he pulled me close to his body and kissed me. He started to untie the corset and I knew that once it was off I would be bare from the waist up. All I could think of was this is what I had always wanted from Edward and he always pushed me away. I needed a human moment so I

pushed Jasper back and told him that I needed to use the bathroom and that we would pick up where we left off.

I did what I needed to do and then took a minute to calm down. I was nervous since this was my first time. I was more worried about if I would be able to please him. It went downhill from there. He was used to beautiful, perfect females, vampires. How in the fuck am I supposed to compete with that?

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Jasper said, "Darlin' I don't know what has you so upset, but please just come out. We don't have to do anything if you don't want to. Just please let me help you, talk to me and tell me what's goin' on through that pretty lil' head of yours."

I came out and couldn't even look at him. How could I even come close to being what he needs? I'm human and there's just no way that I could ever come close to satisfying him, not after he's been with vampire females.

"Isabella, I thought we already spoke of this. I have tried to explain it to you and I know that both Rose and Char have shared with you that there is no way you can displease me. I want you so badly and just having you in my arms brings me peace and comfort like I have never known before. While I admit that I would love nothing more than to rip your clothes off and have my way with you I won't do anything you are not ready for. If you want to wait, then we'll wait. I understand that all of this is probably moving a little too fast for you, but it happens quickly for vampires. Now what I need from you right now is to tell me if you need to wait for us to be together. If you do, then we'll wait until you're ready. I'll be more than happy just holding you while you sleep. So what's it going to be?"

I realized just how much Jasper loved me. He's willing to wait for me. I knew now that I needed him as much as he needed to be with me. I just smiled and slowly slid down the slip that I was still wearing, watching his face the whole time. . .
