I was utterly overwhelmed, my day was perfect and I wasn't even married yet. It really did mean the world to mean what Quil had just done, and even though I wouldn't be super close with him I think after this he by far deserved another chance.

"You ok?" I turned to look at Sam as I nervously paced while everyone was walking.

"No, I'm nervous as hell and I think I'm going to puke."

"Sis." He said grabbing my arms gently. "Stop freaking out, everything is great, you're beautiful and you are about to marry your soulmate."

"Thank you." I said hugging him tightly. I heard the song start that meant it was my turn. Sam leaned back smiling at me as he touched my face.

"Ready?" I nodded as he kissed my head. "Just so you know; you are the greatest sister a man could ever hope for, you have brought nothing but joy to my life and everyone's and I am so proud of you. You and he are great for one another I'm glad you found your happiness sis."

"Thank you, Sammy." I said as he held out his arm and we started walking.

"Oh, my God; she looks amazing, she's gorgeous, and, and she's all mine. This is the greatest moment of my life" My eyes jerked up as they landed on Paul. I could hear his thoughts and my eyes watered. He had never been so happy. As I looked at him and our eyes locked I felt everything else fade; it was just him and I. He looked so freaking gorgeous. He was wearing an all-white tux which was shocking because he had said everything was black. However, all the groomsmen and Sammy wore black. I could lightly smell his cologne, the axe he always wore. His hair was spikey and the wind was softly blowing. For the rainiest place ever I was so happy today everything really was perfect. Paul smiled at me the closer I got and as we stopped in front of him, he and Sam hugged tightly before Sammy turned kissing my cheek as I took Paul's hand.

"You look beautiful." He said softly.   

"Thank you."

I leaned my head on Paul as Ol Quil began the ceremony. I don't think I could stop smiling if I tried. I felt so calm, relaxed. I honestly didn't even snap out of it until Paul moved and faced me; had I really zoned out and missed all of that.

"Brianna, you know me better than anyone else in this world, and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you. I see these vows not as promises but as privileges. I get to laugh with you, cry with you, care for you, share with you. I get to walk, run and laugh with you, build a life and live with you but the best thing of all is that I'll get to wake up every morning with the honor of having you as my wife. You have made me a better man and I thank you for that, I didn't know the meaning or that I could fall in love until you walked into my life." I bit my lip as tears welled in my eyes. Hearing him declaring his love for me, sharing his most intimate thoughts and feelings with everyone; I was so lucky. "I promise to encourage your compassion because that is what makes you unique and wonderful. I promise to nurture your dreams because through them your soul shines. I promise to help shoulder our challenges, for there is nothing we cannot face if we stand together. I promise to be your partner in all things, not possessing you but working with you as a part of the whole. Lastly, I promise to you perfect love and perfect trust and a lifetime full of happiness." By the time he was done talking I was silently crying.

I had never been so happy or more in love in my life. I felt like my heart was going to explode, my throat hurt from me trying to hold in my tears and I felt myself giggle with more tears as Paul wiped my face with his hand. I took a deep breath as I pulled out the small rolled paper I had my vows on. I felt a warm hand on my back and turned smiling at Leah. I was shaking nervously and my sister was comforting me. She looked beautiful as a soft breeze blew a strand of hair across her face.

"Paul, I remember once how I told you I did not believe in love or soul mates. I will never forget your reaction. You were shocked, hurt, and a little mad that I did not think we were. But as time went on, you and your love made me believe." I looked up staring into his brown eyes watching as the sparkled with love as I saw tears well in his eyes as I continued. "Every time I have fallen you have been there by my side to pick me back up again. You never let me fail, quit, give up, you always held me up and uplifted me. In the darkest times in my life, you were the light that kept me going. I never truly thanked you for that. You have been my best friend, mentor, playmate, confidant, and my greatest challenge. But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible... You have made me a better person, as our love for one another is reflected in the way I live my life. I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together; and I couldn't be happier to take that journey with you."

I wiped my face as I laughed at Claire who gave me a tissue.

"Don't ruin the masterpiece auntie."

"Ok baby I'll try. Tell Uncle Paul to quit making me cry."

"Uncle Paul stop making her cry. You'll ruin all the work we did Quil already ruined it once stop making her so happy."

"Baby girl that is a promise I can't make or keep. My goal in life is her happiness and the more the better, that cool?" He asked bending down to her.

"I guess so." She said as he hugged her kissing her head before he stood taking my hand.

"Do you guys have the rings?" Paul turned to hold his hand out to Jared who reached in his pocket.

"Uh-oh." He muttered quietly.

"Uh-oh, What do you mean uh-oh." Paul turned growling at him. I think Paul may kill someone today. "Jared dude don't tell me you-."

"It's right here." Jared said smirking as everyone laughed. Paul shoved him smirking as he turned back around at me.

"That so wasn't cool." He muttered as he took my hand in his.

"With this ring, I thee wed." Paul said slipping the ring on my finger.

Looking down I smiled, it was a simple band with diamonds on it. It fit perfectly with my engagement ring and I smiled as he grabbed my hand kissing it softly after he slipped it on. I turned as Leah handed me Paul's ring she had been holding onto. It was white gold and had diamonds inlaid on it. On the inside, it was inscribed with the words. 'My imprint, My love, Now and Forever.'

"With this ring, I thee wed." I spoke softly as I looked into Paul's eyes. I slid the ring on his finger as we smiled at each other. I was trying so hard to keep from crying but it wasn't working that great. I couldn't even process or describe half the things that I was feeling.

"Do you Paul take Brianna, as your wife, so help you, lord?"

"I do." Paul said looking into my eyes. 'I do with every fiber of my fucking being." I smiled at Paul as his thoughts sneak into my head.

"Brianna do you take Paul as your husband, so help you, God?"

"I do."

"By the power vested in me by the state of Washington and the tribe of La Push and the creator;  I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may ki-"

Paul grabbed me smashing his lips to mine in the most passionate kiss we had ever had. I grabbed his face softly as we kissed passionately; the noise and cheers from our family fading out as I felt him pick me up spinning me around.

"Hey! Save it for the honeymoon!" I growled lightly as I waved my hand at Emmett as I kissed my husband. We pulled apart and he rested his head against mine softly kissing me again.

"I love you, Brianna."

"I love you too." He smiled brightly as he grabbed my hand and we walked down the aisle together hand in hand.
