"You look amazing." I turn around to see Paul standing in the doorway to my room. A small smile spreads across my face.
"You clean up nicely yourself." It was true. He was wearing a black dress shirt with some khaki pants.
"You ready for this?" I turn back towards the mirror and glance at myself. My dress was simple, the way I wanted it. It had spaghetti straps, that complimented my collar bones. The top was a deep plunged v-neck, with a small belt around the waist and it's tight around my thighs then flows out. My white heels are hidden by the length of the dress. Rose and Alice had done my makeup and hair, also keeping it simple. I look at Paul in the mirror and nod. He grabs my arm and slowly turns me around.
"Who's all out there?" I breathe out shakily.
"Well, your vampire friends, some of the pack, some of the Warm Springs pack, and Jesse." He lists off.
"Is Sam out there?" Paul shakes his head.
"Emily is though. She refused to stay home just because Sam said." I chuckle, sounds like Emily. We walk towards the door and Rose is standing there.
"Had to make sure you didn't mess up my masterpiece." She murmurs. The moonlight sleeping through the window makes her pale skin glow. She tucks a piece of hair back behind my ear. "Don't fall please." She gives me a small smile and glances at Paul before walking away, her heels clicking on the floor.
Paul takes the first step towards the door and pulls me along with him. I take a deep breath as he pulls open the door.

The ceremony was beautiful and felt like it lasted ages. But I was here for one reason, the booze. Okay maybe two reasons, obviously marrying Jacob. Jacob and I were already shotgunning beers and I hadn't gotten a single buzz yet. Jacob was already a little tipsy, but the werewolf gene burned off most of the alcohol. I was confused on why I hadn't been even the slightest bit tipsy, and why the beer tasted like dirt.
I drop my current beer on the ground and go to the food table. Edward stands on the other side of it, looking very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Weddings not your thing or something?" I ask as I shove chocolate in my mouth.
"Classy." He sighs. "The werewolves always put us on edge."
"Well you're not the only one not enjoying yourself. I've drank atleast seven beers and I'm not even tipsy. Also the beer tastes like fucking dirt." I grumble. Edward just laughs at me. "What?"
"You realize vampires can't get drunk? I mean it's surprising you can eat human food, but booze must be like food to us for you." I almost break down in tears.
"Are you fucking serious?"
