Carlisle's Diary

Semi-Shotgun Wedding (Alice's POV)

Dear Diary:                                                      November 19, 2014

It's that time again!!! And a final one! Can you believe the last member of our family is getting hitched? Everyone is finally paired off. And Carlisle even gave me access to his diary without my begging and pleading this time because he was watching and measuring and practically hovering over Nessie's every move ever since her not so little announcement that she was preggers by that mutt. Ok I just got 3 hairy eyeballs. Fine fine! I'll keep off the subject as the events from 2 weeks ago, still gives me a headache, and where does it say vampires are allowed to have them, anyway?? Hrumph!

Ever since then, I have been in a positive tizzy to get this wedding all set up and ready. If there was vampire speed, I was on it! Though this was what I referred to as a semi-shotgun wedding, I still wanted Nessie to have the wedding of her dreams and since we've—and everyone else in the Northwestern Hemisphere—have been walloped by the polar vortex, we've had snow galore which made Nessie's theme perfect; Winter Wonderland.

Because of the suddenness of the whole thing, we decided on having the wedding in NH instead of La Push which is where Jacob would have wanted. But given Nessie's condition, no one wanted to risk anything. So I ordered two tents; similarly to Seth's wedding there were trees in the ceremony but they were blue as if formed by ice crystals with the UV light. All photos as usual are below so you'll have all of the glamour on display. Colors were blue, white, and some purple tint too plus some gold to offset the beauty of the blue. Nessie's dress was a strapless of the shoulder corset number that when it reached her belly flowed out in a silvery main.

This gave the perfect illusion that she still had a flat stomach which we knew she didn't. The baby was growing and fast. This was different then with Bella and Edward because there was a combination of wolf and vampire DNA. More on that later. Corin and Seth had gotten back from their honeymoon by then only to be thrust into another wedding. They knew what had happened and though weren't entirely too sure what to make of it, went along with helping plan and support. Seth if at all possible, got darker from his tan while Corin managed somehow to avoid looking extra crispy but had a nice tan. She said she found a medicine man in Santorini that made special oils for people with the type of skin like her so she could enjoy time in the sun and not look like a scorched apple afterwards.

We were flying Billy, Charlie, Sue, and the wolves along with their mates the old fashioned way (by plane) out here for the wedding. Jacob wanted Billy to perform the ceremony. Everyone was filled in on what had occurred and though everyone was pretty angry, Rogue managed to assuage them by saying there was a strong possibility it wasn't their fault but that they were under the mind control of a very powerful demon and she would explain it all after the wedding. She too, didn't want to ruin Nessie moment of perfect happiness. Alexander said she spent like literal days up in that attic until she was stiff all over trying to find out anything she could about what could have possessed two teenagers to act so carelessly and sabotage something so easy to hold off on; other than hormones of course.

Sometime, in between my planning out the first dance and the menu while I was walking by her and Alexander's house, I heard an "AHA!" come from the attic so something had been found out. I was very curious but—and though patience is so not my virtue—I had to wait until later to find out what she found out. Something tells me she'll have this diary next time to explain exactly that. This time it's all mine! Weddings....just love 'em!

But I digress. Since Jacob's proposal was hardly romantic and didn't have a ring to go with his near toasting experience, I dragged him shopping along with Bella and Leah. He found a very small ring that was Nessie personified. It was white gold with a pink diamond and the detailing of the white gold was in hearts. We then decided on the marriage bands, Nessie's would match her engagement ring with pink diamonds while his would be just be solid white gold with a more of a tribal pattern. Both were still pretty simple. He could wear his ring around his neck when he would phase so he wouldn't worry about breaking it.
