The next day I was getting ready and Alice said”What did I say about beauty sleep?”Sorry.Bad dream.Maybe it’s wedding jitters.”Do you need some help?I could do her hair.”Really?”Roselia said”Please.I’m not offended by your choice of groom.”Just my blatant lack of respect for mortality.”Essentially.”Weddings!They bring everyone together.”In the hallway Charlie was looking at the caps. Renee said”Hey,so did you find your daughter?”Are those graduation caps?”Hah!How creative!”Or weird.”Mom came in and said”Oh,my gosh!You’re so beautiful.Oh,honey.”She starts crying.”Crap!My mascara.”Thanks.Charlie,get in here!”Dad said”You sure?I don’t wanna…I know,I look awful.”We thought you needed something blue.”Dad pulls a comb.”And something old,besides your mother.”Nice!”It was grandma Swan’s.”I picked it up and Mom said”But we added the sapphires.”It’s beautiful you guys.Wow!Thank you so much.”I gave it to Alice and she put it in my hair. Mom said”It’s your first family heirloom.Pass it on to your daughter,and her daughter.”Um…I love it.”I went to kiss my parents and Alice said”No!No smudging my masterpiece.” Oh,she’s right.”Okay,time for the dress!”They put the dress on me.Outside Jessica said”So um…do you think Ella’s going to be showing?”Jess,she’s not pregnant!”Okay.Who else gets married at eighteen?”I was nervous and dad said” You ready?”Just don’t let me fall down.”Never.”We went down and Daddy was looking at me.”Ladies and gentlemen,we are gathered here on this glorious day to witness the union of Edward Cullen and Ella Swan.”Please, repeat after me.I,Edward Cullen.”I,Edward Cullen.”Take you,Ella Swan.”Daddy said”Take you,Ella Swan.”To have and to hold.”To have and to hold.”For better,for worse.”For richer,for poorer.”I said”In sickness and in health.”To love.” To cherish as long as we both shall live.”I do.”I do.”I love you.”I said”I love you too.”We kissed.At the reception Jessica said”I just thought it’d be bigger.”Yeah.”Hi!”Hi guys.”We were just saying how pretty everything is.We were all just saying.”Alice said”Thanks so much. You don’t think it’s too much?”No!”No.”We’ve heard so much about you.”Welcome to the family.”I said”Thank you.”Irina,come meet Ella.”She looks at Billy and Seth.She walked to us.”I can’t do this.”You promised.”They invited one.”Daddy said” Irina,he’s our friend.”They killed Laurent.”He tried to kill Ella.”I don’t believe that!He wanted to be like us.To live in peace with humans,with me.”I’m sorry.”She walked away.” Irina!”Eleazar said”Um…let’s not monopolize the bride. Congratulations.”Thank you.”Sorry.”They walked away.” Well,what’s a wedding without some family drama?”Yeah.” Emmett said”I’d like to propose a toast,to my new sister. Ella I hope you’ve got enough sleep these last eighteen years,cause you won’t be getting anymore for a while.”Well Ella was just like everybody else,totally mesmerized my Edward,or the hair,as I call him.Um…and then suddenly, Edward is all about Ella.Even though she’s not the captain of the volleyball team.I’m just kidding. I’m just kidding. Or the president of the Student Council.”Dad came up and said”Edward will be a good husband.I know this because…because I’m a cop,I know things.Like how to hunt somebody to the ends of the earth.” Now that you’re my sister,you’ll have to get over your aversion to fashion.” And I know how to use a gun.”Esme said”I’d like to thank, Renee and Charlie for bringing such a wonderful person into the world and into our lives.We will cherish and protect her forever.”It’s an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to and accept you for what you are.I’ve been waiting,for what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am.With Ella I feel like I can finally begin.So I’d like to propose a toast to my beautiful bride. No measure of time with you will be long enough.But let’s start with forever.”You have a gift and come with me.I said” What’s a wedding present doing out here?”Just a little more private.”The best man didn’t have time to get a tux.” Jacob!Jacob!”Hey.”Daddy said”This is kind of you.”Kind is my middle name.I’m sorry I’m late.”It doesn’t matter. Everything’s perfect now.”Dance with me?”We danced and I said”Where have you been?We were gonna put your face on a milk carton.”I was in Northern Canada.I think.It’s so weird to be back on two legs again and clothes.I fell out of practice with the whole human thing.”Well are you okay? Being here?”Jacob said”Why?Afraid I’ll trash the party? You’re not the only one.”You’d think I’d be used to telling you goodbye by now.”Come on.You’re not the one supposed to be crying,Ella.”Everyone cries at weddings.” This is how I’ll remember you.Pink cheeks, two left feet,Heartbeat.”I said”So what,soon I’m gonna be dead to you?”No.I’m sorry.I’m just trying to appreciate your last night as a human.”It’s not my last night.”I…I thought you…”I didn’t really wanna spend my honeymoon writhing in pain.”Jacob said”What’s the point?It’s not like you’re gonna have a real honeymoon with him anyway.”It’s gonna be as real as anyone else’s.”That’s a sick joke.You are joking?”What? While you’re still human?You can’t be serious,Ella!Tell me you’re not that stupid!”I said”I mean, it’s really none of your business.”He takes my arm.”No! You can’t do this!”Jake!”Listen to me,Ella.”Let me go!” Daddy comes and said”Jacob,calm down.”Are you out of your mind?Huh?You’ll kill her!”Sam comes and goes to him.”Enough,Jacob!”Stay out of this,Sam!”You’re not gonna start something that we’ll have to finish.”She’ll die.” Sam said”She’s not our concern anymore.”They left and we went back.”Well,wear a hat,sunscreen,take care of yourself.”I will.”Okay.”I love you,Ella.”I love you.”So much.” I was going to leave but dad said”It’s gonna be strange. You’re not living under my roof.”Yeah.It’s gonna be strange for me too.”You know it will always be your home,right?”I said”I love you,dad.Forever.”I love you too,Ella.I always have and I always will.Ella Swan.Thank you.”
