EDWARD POV

Four years had passed since the curse had been lifted and Bella and I had gotten together. I glanced at the people around me, they too were anxiously waiting for the beautiful bride's arrival. I took my position at the altar beside Emmett, my best man. He and I had reconciled our friendship when I started attending school again. Being slightly dumb to begin with, it wasn't hard to convince him my scarred 'face' was in fact really good costume make up from an audition I had attended. As for his relationship with Jessica, that was well and truly over. He was now married to Bella's cousin Rosalie. They had met when Rose came down for Bella's graduation party and sha-boom! inseparable ever since. Jessica had tried to get back with me when I rejoined school, Bella quickly put her in her place. I chuckled to myself at the memory.

"What's funny?" Emmett whispered beside me. I just shook my head at him, adjusting the golden flower in my tux pocket.

The gentle melody of the traditional wedding march suddenly filled the church. I swallowed as the crowd got to their feet and turned to face the doors at the back of the church. And then there she was. My Bella, more beautiful than she had ever been, walking towards me slowly holding her father's arm. I smiled broadly, my eyes filling with tears I didn't know I was capable of shedding. Bella's beautiful eyes slowly lifted to meet mine, a smile flashing across her face as our gazes locked. I could hear my mother crying a few metres away from me. I glanced over to see my father pull her into a side hug. He flashed me a proud smile, which I returned generously before returning my gaze to Bella. She climbed the three steps up to me slowly, finally standing before me in all her beauty.

"I love you." I mouthed, smiling warmly at her.

"I love you too." She mouthed back, turning to the vicar as he cleared his throat.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Edward Anthony Cullen and Isabella Marie Swan in holy matrimony. Now who gives this woman to be wedded to this man?"

I watched as Charlie grabbed Bella's hand softly, kissing it before placing it gently into my hand. "I do." He said clearly, before returning to his seat beside Bella's mother.

"And now we hear the vows. Each have prepared their own to recite before you now. Edward?" The vicar asked, his gaze meeting mine. I swallowed before turning to Bella.

"Bella, before you I was arrogant and egotistical, consumed by the pretence of popularity. Then something happened and all this got taken away from me. I was at an all time low, until you came into my life. You accepted me for who I was, putting looks aside, getting to know the true me. For that I am forever thankful. I promise to be there for you when you need me, any problems we have will be faced together. I vow to love you until the day I die, if not longer. You are the best thing in my life, Bella, and I cannot wait to spend the rest of it loving you." I finished, raising my hand to Bella's face, gently wiping away a tear that had escaped.

"Bella? Let us now hear your vows." The Vicar said. Bella chuckled to herself whist wiping her face.

"You'll have to excuse me," She began with a laugh, "my husband to be has always had a way with words." The audience began to laugh as Bella collected herself.

"Edward, my life before you was colourless, predictable. But when you saved me that night after the cinema, my life changed for the better forever. From our first conversation I found myself falling for you. I tried to fight it at first, but it was no use. You were- you are perfect in every way. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I cannot wait to start a family of our own with you. You are in every thought I have, and my love for you will never end." She finished with a smile, which I returned amorously.

"And now the rings." The vicar continued, turning expectantly to look at Emmett. A few seconds passed without any movement. I nudged Emmett with my elbow quickly. He turned to look at me in surprise.

"Oh! The rings!" He shouted, diving into his inner tux pocket. I rolled my eyes, as the audience burst into laughter once more. Emmett passed me the ivory velvet pouch, containing two pieces of jewellery nor myself or Bella would ever remove again.

"This ring I give to you as a token of my love and devotion to you. I pledge to you all that I am and all that I will ever be as your husband. With this ring, I gladly marry you and join my life to yours." I said, sliding the gold ring onto Bella's fourth finger.

"I have for you a golden ring. The most precious metal symbolizes that your love is the most precious element in my life. The ring has no beginning and no ending, which symbolizes that the love between us will never cease. I place it on your finger as a visible sign of the vows which have made us husband and wife." Bella responded, slipping the ring on my fourth finger-where it would stay for eternity.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." The vicar concluded, smiling at me and Bella. I leaned forward slowly and pressed my lips to hers. The church erupted into applause as we kissed. Bella pulled away, a beautiful shade of pink on her cheeks. She met my gaze and giggled.

The ceremony couldn't have gone better. Now as I twirled my bride around the dance floor, I couldn't believe how far my life had come in just four years. I was still grateful to Alice for showing me the wrong doings in my life. Without her, I wouldn't be here now married to the love of my life.

"Penny for your thoughts, Mr Cullen?" Bella asked, kissing my chin. I smiled.

"Nothing important, Mrs Cullen." I responded, leaning down to kiss her softly. "You look beautiful by the way." I added, earning another eye roll.

"Thanks, for the fiftieth time." She responded, with another laugh. I glanced over her head at the clock.

"We should get going, we still need to grab our luggage and the flight is in an hour." I whispered. She gripped me tighter.

"I don't want this day to end." She whispered.

"Me either." I replied, hugging her tighter.

"Right! The time is 10pm and our Bride and Groom should really get their wiggle on!" Rosalie shouted through the microphone. Bella nodded, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the door.

Ten minutes later we had retrieved our luggage and were heading for the front door. I swung it open to see the guests lining it either side, confetti at the ready. I exchanged a glance with Bella, before grabbing her hand and rushing forward. I held onto her hand tightly as we walked through the confetti shower.

"Be gentle with her!" Emmett bellowed. I saw Bella turn tomato red out of the corner of my eye as we laughed. We finally made it to the awaiting taxi, clambering into the back and shutting the door on the still raining confetti.

"Well Mrs Cullen, here's to our future together." I said, leaning in to kiss her once more.
