A/N: I do not own Twilight. However, I claim ownership to all typos and other mistakes, as well as a new iPad so that I can take my fanfic obsession on the road. )

It has been nearly two years since that day. Two years since our eyes first met from the seventy-five feet that is the length of this aisle.

Nearly two years since my perspective, and my world, irrevocably changed.

Today I'm making I'm making my way down this same aisle again. The destination is the same, but the outcome will be completely different. It's your voice I will hear, your words and promises.

The music changes. Deep breath.

I take the first step, and I see you at the end of the aisle. Waiting for me, and me alone. This time, it's not my imagination. I know without a doubt that your eyes are fixed on me, the breath you took is in reaction to my appearance.

You are so beautiful. Your eyes are shining, as mine are as well, I'm sure.

Another step. So many memories rush back. Rose and Emmett's wedding. The first kiss we shared that night. The aftermath.

Your smile grows brighter yet again. My father places a restraining hand on my arm to keep me from sprinting to the altar.

"Slow down, kiddo. He's not going anywhere."

I remember the week after Rose and Emmett's wedding, when you did have to leave me. It was very nearly heartbreaking. To meet the love of your life, only to be separated by distance and circumstance.

I left Jacob, you left Tanya. That wasn't the heartbreaking part. The worst was you going back to Chicago for those six long months. Six months of talking every day, but never really seeing, never touching.

You told me that the separation didn't matter, that we would be together. You promised me that our reunion would be so much sweeter.

And it was. By that point, we knew almost everything about each other. Our likes, pet peeves, our wishes and dreams. I recognized you as my soul mate, but you became my best friend. And then my lover.

Nearly there. Just a few more steps until we're together, until my father places my hand in yours.

Your touch drives me crazy. From that first touch we shared, to all the times we came together, there is nothing that feels as good as your skin on mine.

That's what we couldn't learn from each other on those long phone calls and Skype sessions. I didn't know then how a brush of your fingers on my arm electrified by entire being. I couldn't fathom your reaction from a kiss beneath your jaw until I did it the first time. How it caused you to grab my hips and kiss me back until I was limp and brainless.

The rush of my heart when it's fast and furious. The sliding of our skin when we make love slowly, and thoroughly.

When we finally come together, you always look at me like I'm the reason for your existence, the purpose for your breath. There is always so must love in your eyes, and you make me feel cherished.

It's the same look you have right now.

A kiss from my father, and our hands are clasped at last.

It's amazing that with a simple touch from you, I am at peace.

The minister begins those familiar words.

"Dearly beloved..."

This time I know without a doubt that I am with my beloved.

I tune out the words that are spoken as I gaze into your eyes. All I need to know about love I see there.

With a smile and a wink, you squeeze my hand. A gentle reminder that it's time for our vows.

I hand Alice my bouquet, and grab both your hands with mine. We recite the words we wrote together with the minister's help.

"Bella, you are my dream come true. You are the happiness I never thought I deserved, the all encompassing light in my life. You make me smile, you make me laugh, and you give me so much love."

"Edward, the first time we kissed, I knew in my heart that you were my one. The one I was destined to spend the rest of my life with. You are the most incredible man I have ever known, and I am honored and humbled that you have chosen me."

"From the moment we met, you've surprised me, captivated me, and challenged me in a way that no other person ever has. I've fallen more in love with you every day, without reservation. I still can't believe that today I get to marry the love of my life."

"When I first saw you, my life changed forever. I never believed in love at first sight, but I knew in an instant that we would be sharing all the beautiful moments of life together."

"I promise to walk by your side, to love, cherish, and encourage you."

"I promise to share with you, to listen to you, and to support you."

"I will share your laughter and tears as your partner, lover, and friend."

"I will always respect you and honor you as an individual, and to grow with you knowing that our love will never fade."

"I look forward to being your husband, and falling in love with you again and again."

"I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you, my best friend. I will love you forever."

You wipe the tears that have been streaming down my face, and cup my cheek with your hand. For a moment, everyone and everything disappears as I close my eyes and lean my cheek into your palm. You're perfect.

The ceremony continues with the exchange of rings, but I don't care. In my eyes, we are already married.

I hear the minister again.

"Edward and Bella, may this day shine eternally in your lives together. May it add brilliance to every achievement and cast a light over every misfortune. May all that is beautiful and honest remain with you always.

"With the exchange of rings and statements of love and trust, I wish you to greet Edward and Bella as Husband and Wife.

"You may kiss your Bride."

You lean down and slowly, sweetly kiss me. I feel all the love you have in that kiss, and I know that the rest of our life together will be as sweet.

Alice hands me back my bouquet as our family and friends break out in applause.

You lean in for another kiss, and behind the cover of the bouquet, stroke a fingertip over my currently flat stomach.

"Just think," you whisper, as I smile at my parents. "In about seven months we're going to do it again."

You clasp my hand and start down the aisle. We continue whispering, even though no one could hear us over the music and cheering.

"Do what again?"

"Fall in love at first sight."
