Hey readers. I'm sorry for the long wait for an update but I've been busy with the holidays… and really just kind of bored with this story so I'm sorry/happy to say (whichever way you look at it) this will be the last chapter.

One Month Later: Bella POV

The piano started playing the annual wedding tempo, telling my feet to start moving.

"Bella," Carlisle prompted while pulling me forward after a failed try of moving.

"I know this all seems very nerve-wrecking at the moment, getting married and all, but just take a deep breath. After all, there's only going to be six 'people' in attendance," I smiled at his reassuring words and let out a breath I hadn't realized I had been holding.

"Let's go," I whispered before I could lose my cool, or trip over a blade of grass.

Thanks to Esme, the backyard had been transformed into a beautiful garden-like wedding scene, equipped with two benches for seating, and a table with a large cake on it for show.

The bushes gave way as we turned the corner, allowing me my first glimpse of my soon, very soon-to-be husband. The breath caught in my throat at the picture-perfect sight of him. My dead heart fluttered at the sight of his bronze hair – messy and unruly as it usually was.

I could have just pictured the torture Alice had gone through to try and get it to stay tamed. But I was glad all their attempts failed – if they had even tried any, that is. I rather liked his hair a mess.

I blushed as his eyes trailed over my body when I reached him, before a huge and dazzling smile took over his features, his golden orbs glowing with pure happiness.

It was as though the happiness radiated off of him to me as I found myself impatient for the priest to begin reading the little booklet in front of him that would end in the uniting of Edward and I, impossibly more than we were already.

His voice was a rattling in the back of my mind as I stared into Edward's eyes and I tried to concentrate.

"I do," Edward suddenly muttered.

"And do you, Isabella Swan take Edward Cullen to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

I blinked, not sure where the time had gone.

"I-I do." I whispered. Edward smiled even wider than before, as if he wasn't sure what my answer would be. Edward being Edward he was probably still waiting for me to 'realize the mistake I am making'. Like I'm the one making the mistake….

"You may kiss the bride,"

God, I really had to start paying more attention.

Edward's arms wound around my waist before pulling me into him and capturing my lips in a passionate kiss.

I could barely register the omnipresent flashing as Alice took hundreds upon thousands of pictures.

He pulled away, whispered "I love you" against my lips, pressed his lips to mine once again, and then finally straightened us back up.

I smiled, my hand squeezing his fingers gently.

We were married.

Epilogue

"Love, we have to go. We will miss our flight," I turned to Edward, my bottom lip jutting out.

I didn't want to leave Esme Island. We had been here for two weeks for our honeymoon. Two weeks of romance… and well, what newly-weds do on their honeymoons. Many times….

"Promise me we'll come back," I demanded.

"I promise you that we will come back whenever you please." I smiled, as did Edward as he took my hand and kissed my palm.

"Now, if I am not mistaken, we should be leaving."

"But I like it here. Couldn't we just stay for another week? Rose told me that she and Emmett once took a two month long honeymoon." Edward's eyes were slightly glazed over and I knew he was trying to convince himself to leave. I had one more way to try and negotiate him to staying a while longer.

I pressed my body against his and he looked down at me as my finger traced a pattern on the cloth over his chest. He blinked, his eyes darkening slightly.

"Besides, another week would mean another seven days of-" he didn't let me finish as his mouth connected with mine.

The suitcases he had in his hands were soon thrown to the side as he pushed me back onto the bed, his hands eagerly pulling at the buttons of my shirt before he ripped it off me, impatient with the buttons.

"I'll buy you another shirt before Alice even has the chance to yell at me," he promised before his mouth carried on its descent to my neck. I giggled, pulling at his shirt.

It seemed I was better with the buttons.

Perhaps I could carry this out another week….

Well, that's it for this story. I must admit that I am kind of sad to be finishing it, but I'm starting a new story that I have been outlining over vacation!! It's called The Marriage. You should check it out!! First chapter is up and I'll post the second tomorrow!!

Thank you to all of those who stuck with me!! It was much appreciated, as were your wonderful reviews!!!
