Chapter 43

"What did I say about beauty sleep?" Alice asks Bella scoldingly as she does her makeup, Isla is doing her hair while sitting beside the soon-to-be wife,

"Sorry, bad dream," Bella claims. "It was wedding jitters."

"Do you need some help?" Rosalie asks as she steps into the doorway; she and Isla finally reunited the last night, hugging and catching up.

"Really?" Bella asks her in shock.

"Please," Rosalie grins as she walks up behind the human. "I'm not offended by your choice of groom."

"Just my blatant respect of mortality," Bella states.

"Essentially."

Alice looks between Rosalie, Bella, and Isla all in the same room - and not at each other's throats. "Weddings. They bring everyone together."
.......

"Alice? Bella?" Renee Dwyer calls out, making Isla glad she and Demitri put in brown contacts.

"In here, mom!" Bella calls back.

Renee enters the room and she gasps at Bella, all gussied up for her wedding. "Oh, my gosh! You're so beautiful. Oh, honey," she gushes as she tears up. "Crap," she groans as she cries, "my mascara."

Isla hands her a white handkerchief with a smile as Bella gapes at her mom.

"Thanks," Renee says kindly. "Charlie, get in here!"

"You sure?" Charlie asls as he enters. "I don't wanna..." he enters the room, all dressed up in a tuxedo. "I know, I look hot." He laughs a bit and he pulls out a small box. "We thought you needed something blue." Charlie opens rue box and revealed a jeweled comb. "And something old. Besides your mother."

"Nice," Renee sniffles.

"It was grandma Swan's," Charlie informs his daughter.

Bella walks over and she carefully picks it up.

"But we added the sapphires," Renee says.

"It's beautiful, you guys," Bella coos. "Thank you so much." She hands it to Alice to put it into her hair.

"It's time first family heirloom. Pass on to your daughter, and her daughter..." Renee begins to cry again.

"Mom, I love it."

"Nope," Alice says as Bella goes to hug her parents. "No smudging my masterpiece."

"She's right!" Renee coos.

When Alice and Renee go to see Bella's dress, Isla grabs her lavender dress from the hook and goes to her and Jasper's room, where she finds Carmen. The two squeal happily and hug each other, Eleazar rushes to the door but stops when he sees Carmen hugging Isla. The two soon go downstairs once Isla is dressed and head Eric calling them ladies hot. Mainly Kate and Irina, and Tanya. Isla goes up the aisle and she sits beside her husband with Carmen and Eleazar behind them. Jasper reaches and he takes Isla's hand and the bridal march begins.

The back doors open and Isla gasps. Demitri even has venom in his eyes; he only admits to himself thst he is a sucker for a romantic wedding. He has been since his human life. He's glad he suggested coming along to see the two wed. He wished he'd known and befriend Isla when she and Jasper got married, but he accepts that he didn't.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the mister speaks, "we are gathered here on this glorious day to witness the union of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Please, repeat after me."

"I, Edward Cullen."

"I, Edward Cullen."

"Take you, Bella Swan."

"Take you, Bella Swan."

"To have and to hold."

"To have and to hold."

"For better or for worse."

"For better or for worse."

The vows go on as venom fills Isla's eyes, she holds Jasper's hand. She remembers their wedding, and it was perfect. This wedding is absolutely amazing, though Isla and Demitri are leaving after seeing Edward and Bella off on their honeymoon.

Everyone stands and they clap when Edward and Bella finally kiss, even Demitri Volturi. Eleazar was surprised to see Demitri, but he's glad he's here on a personal reason and not business. Eleazar isn't surprised Isla joined the Volturi, he knew she would as soon as he heard they met and Aro made an offer. She's a good girl; strong, and fast; smart and very worthy of a member on the guard in Volterra. He is proud of the vampire he mentored during her newborn months.

"Billy Black," Isla grins as she walks up to him during the reception while Eleazar and Demitri chat. "Hey."

Billy looks up at Isla with a smile. "Isla. You look well. Italy going you good?"

"Amazing," Isla replies. "Anything out of Jacob?"

Billy frowns and he shakes his head. "None."

"Isla," Demitri walks over. "We are to return."

Isla nods. "Alright."

Isla goes over to Jasper amd they kiss deeply before Isla hugs each meme her - not Irina - of the Denali coven, and the Cullens before leaving with Demitri.
