His Golden Haze Part I

Magic

A/N: One more chapter until Nessie and Jake's big day! What are your predictions for the wedding?

Chapter 23: Magic

Renesmee POV:

The big day is literally just a day away. I couldn't believe it was so close to be being here. Tomorrow, I can officially call myself 'Mrs. Black'. We flew all our wedding guests to Nebraska the night before to get settled in and paid for them all to have a room to sleep in for the next couple of days.

It wa really nice to see Nahuel again. He said he was happy to see me again in a wonderful situation rather than our first meeting. Jake was pleasantly surprised to know that there are others like me. Him and Nahuel would make great friends. Aunt Alice and Aunt Rosalie made sure to have all the bridesmaids and groomsmen in their tuxedos and dresses to make sure it looked okay. It was really cute to see Rachel with her big bump rocking that dress and Emily wasn't showing quite yet, but she appreciated how loose it felt. Leah was the least enthusiastic of the bunch, but I was expecting that.

Tonight would certainly be interesting, Jake and I wouldn't sleep in the same bed nor room. As tradition, Aunt Alice told me, the bride and groom must not see each other the night before the wedding or else it will be bad luck! I'm not superstitious, but it'll be fun to play along with it. Jake would be spending the night with his brothers and I would be spending the night with the imprints and Leah.

"You look nice in that dress, Leah." I complimented.

"I look like a cupcake." she mumbled.

Leah is more tomboyish than the others so I didn't expect her to like dressing up. She was the first one out of it as soon as Aunt Alice gave them the clear to do so. Little Autumn, on the other hand, threw a tantrum about having to have her flower girl dress taken off. And her cries led her brother to cry and Rebecca's kids to cry too.

"Oh, my little leaf." Kim sighed as she picked up her crying toddler and rocked her a little, "You can wear it tomorrow."

"But I wanna wear it now!" Autumn sniffled.

Jared busied himself with calming down little Jared who was just not having it.

"Yep, it's nap time. See you all at rehearsal." Jared announced.

Rebecca and Solomon left with their boys soon after. I guessed they needed a nap too. Rehearsal will be this evening and then we have a reservation at a Mediterranean bistro to eat at after. My family would stay behind preparing for tomorrow since they don't eat human food. I'm sure this bistro can't cook as well as Grandma Esme, but I'd give it a try.

Jake and I decided to pick each other's rings out and write our own vows. Knowing myself, I would tear up at anything Jake would say at our special moment and I would be so touched if he got emotional at my words too. Thank goodness for waterproof mascara, I'll definitely need it tomorrow. My heart was overwhelmed with my love for Jacob, I almost couldn't bear it.

Jake placed a hand on the small of my back as he kissed my temple. I inhaled his earthy scent and leaned my head against his warm chest. I'm really going to miss him tonight. It'll be worth it though when I see his beautiful face at the end of the aisle. Mom told me about how nervous she was when she was walking down the aisle with Grandpa Charlie. She said she'll never forget how much love washed over her when she saw Dad's smile. I couldn't wait to feel that feeling.

Rachel and Paul came over to give us a hug goodbye after Aunt Rosalie completely gawked at Rachel's baby bump.

"Rachel, you're really glowing." I hugged her as much as I could with her big bump.
