ALICE, BREE AND ARLINA STOOD AROUND THE PORCH, watching Bella walk in her heels as per Alice's request for her to wear them. Bella had attempted to ask to wear Converse but the vampire had refused, saying it had to be special and apparently, Converses weren't special.

"Um... You just have to break them in." Alice told the Swan girl with a smile and Arlina shook her head at her from behind Alice with a playful grin.

"I've been breaking them in. For three days." Bella stated and Bree giggled lightly, causing Alice to glance back with a small glare, "Can I just go barefoot?"

"No, absolutely not." Alice frowned in disbelief.

"I'm just thinking it's a little much, you know?" Bella raised a brow, leaning her elbow on the porch's railing, "The dress and the shoes, and all of this."

They all looked over at Jasper, Felix and Carlisle carrying log benches to the aisle, and Esme and Alec walked over, holding buckets of decorations, "No, it's exactly enough." Alice protested, "Tomorrow will be perfect."

"Where do you want them, boss?" Emmett asked as he and Rosalie walked over carrying logs on their shoulders.

"On either side of the aisle." Alice briefly pointed over to the aisle and Rosalie scrunched her brows at the small vampire.

"What aisle?" The blonde asked and Alice groaned, rushing down the steps.

"Does no one have vision?" Alice exclaimed, running over to help and Arlina giggled from where she was sat beside Bree, sorting out the gouache paints for Bella & Edward's wedding painting.

Bella kicked off the heels and pulled on her trainers that Alice had passed back to her, before she looked up at Edward's bedroom window where he was stood, she looked back down when Arlina began speaking, "The wedding's going to be amazing, Bella, don't overthink it."

Suddenly, Alice appeared back on the porch with a stern look towards Bella, "You, go home and get lots of beauty sleep. That's an order." The pixie-like Cullen hugged Bella before she turned on her heels towards the two youngest Cullens who were sat on the ground, "And you!" She pointed at Arlina with a serious look, "Hurry up with that painting, I need to see where to put it!"

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT BEAUTY SLEEP?" Alice asked as she dabbed foundation onto Bella's face with a beauty blender, and Arlina stood on the other side of her, looking through the drawers of the vanity for jewellery.

"Sorry, bad dream, it was wedding jitters." Bella shook her head with her eyes closed before she looked over at Arlina, who held up a pair of beautiful dangly silver earrings in the shape of love hearts, "Oh, Lina, I'm not an earring type of girl."

"Well, for today, you are!" Alice exclaimed with a sweet smile and Bella sighed, knowing not to protest because she'd get nowhere. Rosalie walked through the hallway and into the room, watching them with an ethereal grin.

"Do you need some help? I could do her hair." Rosalie offered and Alice glanced at Arlina with a smirk.

"Really?" Bella exhaled, visibly shocked at the kind gesture from Rosalie, who strolled over to stand behind Bella, touching her hair.

"Please. I'm not offended but your choice of groom." She looked at the human through the mirror and Bella glanced at her hands.

"Just my blatant lack of respect for mortality." Bella nodded and Rosalie smirked.

"Essentially."

"Weddings. They bring everyone together." Alice wrapped her arms around the three girls with a huge smile before looking over at Arlina, "Would you go check that Emmett's fixed the chocolate fountain? I don't trust him."

"Of course." The redhead patted Bella's shoulder with a smile as she made her way out, bumping into Bella's parents on her way, "Hi."

"Oh, hi, Arlina." Charlie sent her a tight-lipped smile and Renee sent her a questioning look, seemingly confused about who she was.

"One of Edward's sisters?" She asked and Arlina nodded curtly with a grin.

"Unfortunately." The older, but also younger girl rolled her eyes playfully, "She's just in there." She pointed to the room she had just exited and waved at them as she made her way down the rest of the stairs.

On her way out, she had bumped into Emmett, who was clearly overwhelmed, "Arlina, help me!" He grabbed her and dragged her over to the chocolate fountain which wasn't exactly a fountain at that moment.

"Alice had every right not to trust you." Arlina joked with a small laugh, but her face went serious when she noticed he wasn't laughing like he usually would, she shook her head before she began inspecting the fountain. She realised he hadn't switched it on and that was why it wasn't working, so she flipped the switch and chocolate began flowing out of the tip of it.

"Oh, thank God!" Emmett sighed in relief, laughing and clapping his hands, he quickly hugged Arlina before rushing away without as little as a thank you and she scoffed with a smile.

"I've been looking for you." Alec's voice sounded from behind her and she turned around, walking over to him. She was stunned by him, and more than she usually was. He was wearing an all black tuxedo, with a dark red tie to match her dress, his hair was still the same perfect mess and he had his Volturi crest hanging from his neck.

"You look extremely handsome." She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled at him, glancing from his bright, red eyes to his soft, pink lips. He rested his hands on her waist, admiring her beauty. She was wearing a dark red summer dress with a few compliments of silver with jewellery, she had her hair down with two braids connecting to the back and she was wearing a pair of black lace-up heels.

"And you look amazingly beautiful, love." He complimented, and she took that as her opportunity to kiss him as a thank you. Their eyes fluttered closed as they pressed their lips together, Alec smiling into the kiss as he placed his cold hand on her warm cheek. It was a nice feeling for the boy to have a pair of soft, warm lips on his, and his tongue pushed out of his lips, asking for entrance.

Just when she was about to open her mouth, allowing him entrance to her mouth, Felix and Demetri cut it short as they walked over, "Sorry for the cockblock, guys, but it's time." Demetri smirked at the redhead, whose eyes lit up before she rushed away to sit beside Alice and Emmett on the left side of the aisle.

It was going to be an exciting day, and nobody was expecting the events that were coming their way.
