Loving Rosalie

The Wedding

It's finally time! I get to marry the love of my life! And hopefully afterwards, Alice chills and doesn't freak out over every little thing! Good grief! I thought the bride was supposed to be bridezilla not the wedding planner/maid of honor? "You're not getting cold feet are you?" Jasper asks me. "No, definitely not! I'm just thinking about how I got here." Jasper nods and pats my shoulder. Edward smiles at me. And I smile back. Bella smiles at me too. She agreed to be my best girl. Kate agreed to be a bridesmaid for Rose. So did Alice of course as her maid of honor and Emmett as the man of honor. The music starts and Kate walks down the aisle. She stands on her side. Then we watch Alice walk down the aisle. She stands by Kate. Emmett walks down the aisle with big grin. Renesmee walks down the aisle throwing rose petals as she goes. Axle follows after her holding the box with our rings in. Renesmee stands by Alice and kate and Emmett while Axle tucks his face into my leg. He's being shy and doesn't like everyone staring at him. I thread my hand through his hair. The music changes and the love of my life comes walking down the aisle. I'm mesmerized with how beautiful she is. In no time she makes it to my side and we interlock our hands. Axle grabs our hands and we look at him with pure love. "Go stand by Uncle Jasper and Uncle Edward little man." I say. Rose kisses the top of his head before he goes. I ruffle his hair. We face Carlisle who had agreed to officiate the wedding and had gotten ordained. He begins, "Today we gather here to bring my daughter, Rosalie Lillian Hale, and her mate, Riley Quinn Swan, in matrimony. At this time Rosalie and Riley will say their vows. Carlisle begins, Do you take this woman to be your wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to keep her
in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"
I answer, "I do." He asks Rose, "Do you take this woman to be your wife, to live
together in matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to keep her
in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" "I do." Rose smiles up at me with happy tears that will never fall. Carlisle then says, "Repeat after me. "I, Rosalie, take you Riley, to be my wife, to have
and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in
sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part." She repeats Carlisle's words then it's my turn. I repeat Carlisle "I, Riley, take you Rosalie, to be my wife, to have
and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in
sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part." Now for the rings. I take the box from Axle and he smiles at me. Carlisle says to repeat after him. "I give you this ring as a token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love." And I place it on her left ring finger along with her engagement ring. Rosalie repeats Carlisle "I give you this ring as a token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love." And slips the ring she bought me on my left ring finger. I had told her not to bother buying me an engagement ring. I'd rather spend that money on Axle or our honeymoon. Carlisle then says, "By virtue of the authority vested in
me under the laws of the State of Alaska , I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may now kiss the bride!" I kiss her senseless. Everyone claps and cheers for us! We make it to the yard that Alice had set up so beautifully for our reception. Since it was an all vampire wedding we didn't need to pretend to eat. We just started dancing right away. We had our first dance as wife and wife. We danced to the song we first danced to on the day we met. A moment like this by Kelly Clarkson.

A Moment Like This Lyrics by Kelly Clarkson

What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me?
Would you agree?
It's almost that feeling
We've met before
So, tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you, love has come here and now
A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Everything changes but beauty remains
Something so tender, I can't explain
Well, I may be dreaming but still lie awake
Can't we make this dream last forever?
And I'll cherish all the love we share
A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Could this be the greatest love of all?
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Oh, like this (moment like this)
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me (moment like this)
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this, ooh

Then we danced with Axle to Rascal Flatt's My wish for you as a family.

My Wish
Song by Rascal Flatts
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' 'till you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too
Yeah, this, is my wish
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget
All the ones who love you, in the place you left
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah, more than anything
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too
Yeah, this, is my wish.
Yeah
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish (My wish for you)
This is my wish (My wish for you)
Hope you know somebody loves you (My wish for you)
May all your dreams come true (My wish for you)

Different songs played on as we danced with one another and with our friends and family. Before long, it was time to go drive to the airport to get on a plane to our honeymoon on Isle Esme. A wedding gift from Carlisle and Esme. We left Axle with Leah. Their relationship is still rocky, but Rose allowed Leah to watch Axle for us. They're staying at our house in Alaska, which is where we got married. In our backyard. We say our goodbyes and hop in Roses new red BMW. We wave as she drives slowly away. She stops at a stop sign and kisses me quickly then stomps on the gas. "What are doing? Why are you driving like a crazy woman?" I laugh. "This crazy woman wants you! All of you ASAP! So the sooner I get you on the plane and overseas the sooner I get you in my bed." She gives me a lustful sideways stare. I laugh. "We could always join the mile high club!" She laughs with me and nods. "Sounds like a plan!" She says.
