As soon as we arrived home everyone was congratulatin' us on our impendin' nuptials. I couldn't wait to finally become Mrs. Jasper Whitlock, though I was sad that my father wouldn't be walkin' me down the aisle. I had a fear that somethin' terrible was goin' to happen to interrupt our weddin', but Alice promised me that she saw nothin' comin' and that Jasper and my weddin' would be beautiful.
Jasper and I decided to wait until the summer so that we could have a beautiful summer weddin'. Alice wanted to plan our whole weddin', but I told her that she could assist me, she was pleased with that and started buyin' all the weddin' magazines that she could get her little pixie hands on.
There were tons of dresses to choose from some that Ali like, others that Rose preferred and there were a few that Esme liked, but none of them screamed 'me'. I wanted a white dress as is tradition, but I wanted it to be summery, pretty and looked like I wasn't tryin' too hard. I was flippin' through one of the many new mags that Ali had gotten, when I found the perfect dress for me. It was strapless, floor length and there's a gold pattern and a gold sash right under the bust. I screamed when I found it and Ali, Rose and Esme all came runnin' to see what was wrong. When I showed them the dressed they all gushed at how beautiful I would look in it. I ordered the dress and then began my hunt for the shoes; I had already decided that I wanted a tiara instead of a veil.
I didn't want heels so I opted for a pair of white sandals that had rhinestones on the straps and a rhinestone flower pattern where the straps meet. They were really cute. The tiara that I picked was simple with flower designs on it. I was happy that I was able to find the perfect things for my weddin' day. Once I had my dress and accessories picked out, Ali asked me what kind of flowers I wanted to carry, I told her that I wanted a bouquet of white roses with blue hydrangea heads. She told me that she would start phonin' the florist shops to see who would have what I was lookin' for. The flowers that I picked for Ali, Rose and Char were goin' to be blue hydrangeas with a white ribbon wrapped around the stems.
While Ali' was lookin' for our flowers, I went back lookin' for the bridesmaid dresses. I had already asked Ali, Rose and Char to be my bridesmaids, they all agreed. I wanted the dresses to be the same color. The dress that I ended up pickin' for them was a strapless, floor length, red rose color with a beaded belt under the bust. I also picked a pair of red, suede, pumps for them to wear.
Jasper and I talked about where we wanted to get married and we agreed to get married back in Texas; on the grounds where our human houses are at. It would be a full circle moment for us once we said "I do". We had talked about gettin' married in the church that we originally had planned for our weddin', but we opted out of that.
Jasper found out that the state owned our houses and there were back taxes that needed to be paid on it before Jasper and I were able to own it. Jasper paid and then hired some contractors to have the places fixed up; I was so excited. There were some weekends that Jasper had to run down to Texas to check on the process of the reconstruction and also to make sure that the workers were doin' their jobs. I wanted to go with him, but he told me that he wanted to keep everythin' a surprise for me. I pouted and begged, but it was no use he wouldn't relent. I was glad that it wasn't often that he had to go, because the suspense was killin' me. I tried to get Ali or Edward to give me a description of the houses, but they wouldn't say a word either.
A month before the end of the school year, the Cullen's cousins came for a visit. There were seven of them, Carmen and her mate Eleazar, Irina and her mate Laurent, Kate and her mate Garrett and Tanya. They all lived in Alaska and were the third largest coven after us and the Volturi. They were all great people and I felt bad for Tanya who had yet to meet her mate; we all got along well. They were pleased to hear that Jasper had found his mate. Em and I told them our story and they, like the Cullen's, were surprised when they found out that Em and I were turned at the same time. They stayed for a week and by the end I felt as if I knew them all my vampire life. Jasper and I invited them to the weddin' and they agreed.
One afternoon when Carlisle had a rare day off, I went to his study and knocked on his door "Come in Bella," he called so I turned the knob and entered. He was sitting on his chair behind his desk doin' some writin'. He looked up at me and smiled while placin' his pen on top of his pad of paper and gestured for me to take a seat. Once I sat down he said, "So my dear what can I do for you?"
"Well I was wonderin', if you would walk me down the aisle?"
"I would be honored to my dear; nothing would give me a greater pleasure than walking you down the aisle."
"Thank you so much Carlisle, I'm glad that you will do this for me."
"My dear, you are my daughter and it's my job to give you away." I beamed upon hearin' that, I got up from my chair and went over to give him a hug. He placed a kiss on my cheek. We talked for a bit more and then I left so that he could get back to his work.
I went to Jasper and my room and got out my notebook which had all the weddin' details in it. I checked off talk to Carlisle about walkin' me down the aisle. I looked over my list to see what still needed to be done. I had to make sure that Jasper, Em and Edward all had their outfits picked out. I also needed to pick out a song with Jasper that would be for our first dance as Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock. I was glad that we didn't have to find a minister, because Peter had that covered and also we didn't need to find someone to play the piano, because that was Esme's job.
Once I finished goin' over my list, I went to find Jasper so that we could get the last things on the list done. I found him in the library readin' a book, I walked over and Jasper put his book aside, so that I could sit on his laps. "Ok Jasper, do you, Em and Edward have what you are wearin' all picked out?"
"Yes darlin' all of us have decided on dark jeans. I picked a white button up to pair with my jeans, Em picked a dark blue and Edward picked black."
"Will any of ya be wearin' a tie?"
"We thought that it would look more casual without it darlin'."
"Your right Jasper," I said smilin'.
"So darlin', what else is there to do?"
"You and I need to pick a song for us to dance to once we are officially man and wife."
"Alright then darlin' do you have any songs picked out?"
"I do, they are in my notebook."
"Well then let's go and see what ya have down." I stood up and then Jasper took my hand and we walked back to our bedroom.
I took out my notebook again and showed the songs that I had already picked, I also had the lyrics written down so that Jasper could get an idea of what the songs were about. "That one," Jasper said pointin' to the song 'A Thousand Years' by Christina Perri.
"Awesome, that's one of my favorites on the list."
"I think that it describes our love perfectly darlin'."
"As do I." Jasper placed a kiss on my lips and then we just lay in the bed cuddlin'.
Soon school was done for the summer and we were packin' to leave for Texas. The houses were ready and I had my weddin' dress, the bridesmaid dresses and what the guys would be wearin' in a separate suitcase with all of the accessories. The florist in Texas promised to have the bouquets ready for us in time for the weddin', which was a couple of days after we arrived. I was so excited that soon I would be tied to Jasper in every way possible.
Once everythin' was packed, we all piled into the cars and drove to Texas. The Denali's would be arrivin' the day after we got there, and then it was goin' to be the big day. Once we arrived, Peter and Char greeted us all and showed everyone to their rooms. We all had a hunt and then sat together and talked while we waited for the Denali's to arrive.
The Denali's arrived just as the sun was risin', they greeted us all and then Char showed them to their rooms. Once they were settled, Peter and Char got more acquainted with the Denali's.
Come afternoon I was told that all the ladies were takin' me out, for my bachelorette party. I was surprised that they were takin' me out, I wasn't sure where they were takin' me, but I couldn't wait to see what they had cooked up. We got changed and then we drove into town and went to a karaoke bar, we spent a fun couple of hours there. Next we went to a club and danced until the early morin'. Just as the sun was startin' to rise, we made it back to Peter and Char's house, but instead of goin' inside they led me passed the house and over to a tent that was set up halfway between Char's house and my human houses. I asked them what was goin' on and they said that I didn't get to spend time with Jasper and that this was the best thing to do so that it wouldn't be such a long walk when it was time for the weddin'. It made sense since it was a long walk between both houses, well not when you run, but I didn't want to run in my weddin' dress.
They told me about their weddin's, they ranged from the extreme over the top; Ali and Edward's first weddin' to a simple beach weddin'; which was Kate and Garrett. Ali, Rose and Esme left at one point to make sure that the area was ready. They left Char to keep my company and to make sure that I didn't sneak a peak of the area before time. Soon it was time to start gettin' ready, we all ran back to the house so that we could get showered and ready.
Once we were all dressed we went back to the tent to await Carlisle's arrival. We didn't have to wait long before Carlisle was peakin' around the flap of the tent tellin' us that it was time. Ali, Rose, Char and Esme all gave me hugs and a kiss on the cheek; they told me that they loved me and that they were so excited for me, then they exited the tent one by one. Carlisle walked in and asked if I was ready, I told him that I was, he held out his arm and I linked mine through it and then we walked out of the tent.
I noticed that Esme was already gone and that Ali, Rose and Char were all standin' in wait, Carlisle and I went to stand behind them. Soon I heard music begin and then Ali, Rose and Char began to walk towards where I knew that my Jasper was waitin' for me, a few minutes later the music changed to the weddin' march. Carlisle squeezed my hand and then we began to walk to the area. The area was set up right in the middle of all three houses and it was beautiful. There were chairs set up for the family to sit on, the fairy lights that Jasper used to propose to me were in use again and there were flower petals linin' my path to Jasper. I wanted to race down the aisle to get to Jasper faster, but Carlisle kept a good hold on me, I was glad that the aisle wasn't a long one and before long I had reached Jasper. He smiled when he saw me which I returned and then Peter spoke, "We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Jasper Whitlock and Isabella Swan. Who gives this woman to this man?"
"I do." Carlisle said and then placed my hand in Jasper's and placed a kiss on my cheek before he went to sit next to Esme.
I turned to face Jasper and waited for Peter to continue. "Marriage is an honorable and solemn estate and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and soberly. If there is anyone here that knows that these two people should not be joined together then let them speak now or forever hold their peace." I looked at my family and I knew that no one would object, because they were all too happy that this day had finally come.
"Good." Peter continued a few minutes later "Let's continue, I need the rings please."
Rose stepped around me and handed Peter the rings, he then turned to me, and handed me Jasper's simple gold band and said, "Repeat after me. I, Isabella Swan, take you, Jasper Whitlock, to be my lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold for all eternity. I promise to love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward."
"I, Isabella Swan, take you, Jasper Whitlock, to be my lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold for all eternity. I promise to love, honor, comfort, and cherish you from this day forward." I slid the ring onto his finger.
Peter then turned to Jasper, handed him my ring and said, "Jasper please repeat what I just said, but change the names."
Jasper nodded his head and then turned to me, "I, Jasper Whitlock, take you, Isabella Swan, to be my lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold for all eternity. I promise to love, honor, comfort, and cherish you from this day forward." He slid the platinum double heart ring onto my finger.
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Peter said
Jasper smiled at me and then moved closer to me, his lips touched mine in a soft kiss filled with all his love for me. The crowd erupted into applause; we broke apart and turned to face them with smiles on our faces. They stood up and kept clappin' and then one by one came to congratulate us. We then made our way over to the dance floor and 'A Thousand Years' started to play, Jasper spun me out onto the dance floor and we began to dance.
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
When the song ended, Jasper placed a kiss on my lips and then the music changed to somethin' more upbeat and the rest of the family came out to join us on the dance floor. I danced with Edward, Em, Carlisle, Eleazar, Garrett and Laurent, but I felt the most happy in Jasper's arms.
"Well darlin' are ya happy?" Jasper asked when I was back in his arms again.
"Of course I am Jasper. I couldn't be happier."
"I know that it took us a long time for us to get here."
"I don't care how long it's taken us, Jasper. I'm just glad that we've finally gotten here."
He smiled and placed a kiss on my lips and then pulled me closer to him. We danced all night and into the mornin', Jasper and I then went back to the house so that we could pack for our honeymoon. I wasn't sure where Jasper was takin' me, he told me that it was a surprise, but I would enjoy it. I was excited to finally begin our lives as man and wife and couldn't wait to see what life brought us next.
