Today is my wedding day, and I am beyond nervous. My father is walking me to Sam, in our backyard here in La Push. I invited the Cullen's, so I hope they come. Alice is already here.

Alice zips the back of my dr as up, and she takes a step back. A tear falls from my eye.

"I wish my mom were here to see this special day." I whisper.

"She is watching you in heaven, Vanessa." Alice coos. "I know she is proud of the woman you have become."

Dad walks in when he knows for sure I am decent. His eyes become watery when he sees me.

"Claire would be so proud f you, Van." Dad coos. "Man, I miss that woman."

I nod. "I do too; let's go, I'm getting married!"

Emily opens the door of the kitchen, and I touch her 5 month baby bump for luck. The ceremonial music plays and we step out. Rosalie smirks wide when she sees me in my dress. Jared has a smile on his face, and so does Paul. Kim and Rachel came as their dates. The pack are all here; Sue is here with dad, actually. Dad mentioned something about this being their first real date.

"We are gathered here today for the wedding ceremony of Samuel Beau Uley and Vanessa Bernice Swan." The priest, Revered Phillip of Seattle, says. "I understand they have written their own vows. As tradition, the bride goes first."

I smile up at Sam. "Samuel Uley, a man who doesn't like being called by his actual name. A man who took me in when nobody else would. A man who makes me feel safe by just one glance. Samuel, you make my heart flutter when I am near you. My heart melts a little every time we kiss. I get happy all over every time we touch. I love you for everything you are, Samuel Beau Uley."

Sam lets out a shaky breath. "Alright, I know I won't beat that." He chuckles. "Vanessa, I have your dad to thank for or meeting, Bella too maybe. Bella had went missing one day; and I knew those woods better than anybody. You was the one who ran over to us. It was like.... I don't know how to describe it. I'm not normally a romantic type, but I guess you just pull it out of me..... My friends are calm and do not fight when you come around. I love you more than the earth itself, Vanessa Bernice Swan."

"Rings."

Preston, Kim's 5 year old brother, carries the red pillow up to us.

"With this ring, I thy wed." Sam says before sliding the ring on my finger.

"With his ring, I thy wed." I slide the gold band on Sam's finger.

"You are not pronounced husband and wife, you may kiss your bride." Reverend Phillip says.

Sam grabs my face and he smashes his lips into mine.

"Ladies and gentleman, Sam and Vanessa Uley!"

Jared high fives Sam, and the girls of the pack hug me. Everyone and myself walk inside. Sam holds me from behind as everyone dances, and eats. I smile at everyone and I turn to face Sam.

"Today has been perfect."

Sam smirks.

"Vanessa..." an all too familiar voice says from behind me.

I turn around and see Garland. "GARLAND!"

I hug my step dad.

"I'm proud of you, Vani." Garland says, pulling the urn out. "My wedding gift, Claire's ashes."

A sob escapes my mouth as I grab the urn of my mother's ashes. Garland kisses my head before he goes to get him some food. I hold the urn of ashes close and I see dad approaching me.

"What's that?" Dad asks.

"Mom's ashes." I reply shakily.

Dad's eyes widen. "Garland gave you the best gift of all."

I nod. "Yes, he did."

I sit the urn on the fireplace, and I step back. I smile as a tear falls.

"Your mom's ashes belong here." Garland says from beside me. "She loved you more than anything on this planet."

I nod. "I know. Thanks Garland. Best wedding gift ever."

Sam smiles at us before shaking Garland's hand. I smile before I find Rosalie. She hugs me tight.

"You look beautiful, the wedding was beautiful." Rosalie says. "Your vows, and Sam's. perfection."

I lay in a tub of hot water when the humans and vamps leave. The pack all stuck around, and Sam is running in wolf form. He is excited to me married to me.

Sam walks into the bathroom, waking me from my daze. I get out and Sam pushes me against the door. He lifts me up and kisses me roughly. We all know where that leads.

I put some shorts on and a tank top before going to the living room. Jared hugs me and congratulates me, before he leaves. He complained of being tired and needing sleep. Poor thing.

I go to Sam and my room and I lay next to him. Sam looks me in my eyes until I fall asleep in my husband's arms.
