Leah didn't want to interrupt the wedding with coming in late. So she just stood in the back near the door. Leah had dressed in her very best and had made herself look presentable. She wasn't quite sure why she was here, at Bella and Edwards wedding.
She watched as Bella walked up to Edward, and took his hands in hers. As they said their vows to one another, Leah found tears rolling down her cheek in silent admiration. Never before had she seen two people take their vows with such love, and intimacy as they did. The whole room was overflowing with the love they held for each other.
Leah watched and listened closely as the soon to be husband and wife looked into each other's eyes with such passion, and true love. Leah's heart pounded so hard she could swear that the people around her could hear...

“And I, Edward Cullen, take thee Bella Swan to be my wife.”
The word lingered in the air, sounding so wonderful, so right. Wife. Bella Swan was going to be his wife. Bound to each other for the rest of their lives. Nothing in the entire world could have made Edward happier. He watched her now, seeing his own happiness reflected in her eyes that swam with unshed tears. Her words were soft, sweet and genuine, so very much like the girl they belonged to. If it was at all possible for his love for her to grow, it would have in the moments he stood and listened to her heartfelt vows meant for him and him alone. She lifted his hand, kissing it gently, and Edward smiled before brushing her cheek with the backs of his fingers in a feather-light touch, tenderly wiping away the tears that gleamed there.
“You are my life, Bella Swan," he began, warm, golden eyes fixed with hers, seeing nothing and no one else. “You are the only one I have ever loved. The only one I will ever love. You are my world. My heart. My soul. The light that shines brighter than all the others. I had forgotten how to live until you appeared. And now I know, with all certainty, that any life without you would not be a life at all.” Edward’s voice was steady in its velvet cadence. The words were true, the very epitome of honesty. Nothing had ever been easier for him to say.
“I may not be deserving of you…your beauty, your strength, your heart. But I promise to love you, wholly and without abandon, for the rest of our lives. I will never let harm befall you. I will never desert you. I will forever and always be yours, and my heart will belong to you for as long as you will have it. You are and always will be my reason and my hope, my life and my love. My forever.”
He smiled softly at this last word, knowing it held so much more meaning for them than it would for anyone else. And then he, too, took her hand and kissed it, eyes shining with complete and unequivocal devotion.
“I love you,” he finished with a whisper.
Finally the moment had come. The Minister’s voice was telling him he could now kiss the bride. Edward smiled, brought her close, and descended his lips to hers in a kiss that was tender and filled with every ounce of the love and happiness he was feeling in that moment. The world fell away, and when he opened his eyes it was to meet those of Bella’s…his wife. He was vaguely aware of the cheers of the guests, of the Minister’s voice announcing them as husband and wife. All he could do was stare at her as though hardly believing all of this was real. That she was real. And in his euphoric state, he smiled again, his eyes shining with it.
“My wife,” he whispered, cupping her cheek and reveling in the warmth he felt there.
Music to his ears.

Bella listened to Edward’s soothing and heartfelt words that were his vows. Tears trickled down her cheeks and she wasn’t ashamed because she knew that all he was saying was true and would always be true. She stared at the one that was now her husband, her life, her soul mate. When the minister announced for Edward to kiss his bride she felt nothing but utter satisfaction.
Bella felt his lips against hers, more urgent and powerful and loving then ever before. He had never kissed her like this, because now he was showing no weakness, no boundaries. Bella closed her eyes and sunk herself into the moment that she would remember and re live for all eternity. The rest of the world was lost to her now, she and Edward were the only inhabitants and she didn’t care.
When she opened her eyes, all she saw was Edward. All Bella saw was the golden glimmer in his deep topaz eyes and the fact that he was bursting with happiness, like her. Edward’s smile was one of utter joy and happiness that made him look even more beautiful then ever. This thought made Bella smile wider too and she brought herself closer to him, clinging to him, wanting never to let go.
Bella barley heard when the minister announced them as Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen and all the cheering that came after for she was still in her own little world, a world where only her and Edward existed.
“My wife,” he whispered, cupping her cheek and reveling in the warmth he felt there.
At that Bella kissed him again, and kept her eyes on him, never wanting to look away.
“My husband.”
She replied then turned to face Alice, reaching out and squeezing her hand once more, watching her new sister as she knew she was about to burst with joy and she couldn’t help but giggle as she turned her gaze to Jasper who was laughing and looked like he was about to burst as well, but in a different way. She turned to Emmett who was smiling and being his usual self and then to Rosalie who was even smiling. Bella's gaze turned to face front now where she smiled at a beaming Esme and Carlisle on the right and a now beaming Renee and semi happy looking Charlie on the left.
Letting go of Alice’s hand Bella returned hers to Edward’s and squeezed it tight. Leaning against him she pulled and led them back down the aisle, through the two sides of smiling and clapping guests. When they got to the entrance to the Cullen’s house Bella spotted someone she didn’t expect. Leah Clearwater was leaning herself against the wall of the house, tears streaming down her face.
“Leah?” Bella asked. “I am surprised to see you here. Why aren’t you sitting with your mom and Seth?”
She asked, stopping now to converse with her, but she knew she could only wait for an answer because a crowd was forming behind them and Bella wanted a break before the real torture started.

The next thing Leah knew was Bella asking why she was there at the wedding. She didn't honestly know...
Leah swiped at her tears and tried to clear it all up. She tried to look Bella in the eyes and tell her a logical reason of why she was there, but couldn't. She couldn't tell Bella that her mother was leaving soon, and that she had barely talked to Seth at all...
She couldn't place such pain on the new and happy bride's shoulder's. So she lied..."Oh, well they're busy and I just found myself coming here, late so I didn't want to interupt. You know, (sniff), uh, I haven't really seen a wedding in a long time. This is the only entertainment that the people of Forks get, right?." Leah tried to laugh to soften the moment, but it came out sounding like a dry sound. "Congratulations you two..."
And with that Leah walked away not able to hold back the tears any longer. She exited through the same doors and hurried away. Her long flowy dress swishing with the rhythum of the wind as she began to run....
Her hair, once pulled up in a loose bun, fell. Her long blonde locks waving behind her. Dark smudges smearing her face, as the tears welled up inside and spilled over. Her green eyes darting around her as she sprinted through the multitude of trees. Hoping to get lost in the vastness of them...

Rosalie watched everythinhg in slow motion. As Bella decended the stairs, Rose rushed into the door with inhuman speed. The sight of Bella nearly brought Rose to tears. Her hair was perfect and her face showed nothing but happiness. Emmett walked up to Rose silently. He ushered her towards the doors and took her arm. Rose slid her arm in his and pushed the doors open with a push of her finger. The outdoor wedding took Rose's breath away. The trees' green contrasted with the pure white was incredible.
Rose began to walk down the isle with her soul mate by her side. Her carriage was perfect, as well as Emmetts. Suddenly, Rose began to cry. This could have been my wedding. If Royce wasn't such a stubborn, pig-headed jerk, Iwould have had childrwn of my own... Rose thought reluctantly. Her breath came in short sobs now, and she couldn't keep the tears from streaming down her cheeks. Now my make-up is ruined!! Rose thought once more. Thats how I've treated Bella.[i/] 'Im so sorry, Bella...' Rosalie said softly in between sobs.
Rose and Emmett reached the end of the isle, and she reluctantly released Emmett's hand and sat down on the bench in the front row. Alice sat down next to Rose a few moments later. Then came the time for Bella and Edward to read their vows. They were filled with such compassion and love, that ears streamed down tears streamed down her cheeks quickly. Then, Edward kissed Bella and they were pronounced husband and wife. Rosalie stood up and neared Bella. But, before she could speak, Bella walked to the back of the yard and began to talk to a werewolf. Leah. Rose didnt smell that awful stench until now.
Rosalie quickly followed Bella and grasped her shoulder softly. 'Bella, I'm so sorry...'

Standing back had been what Orina did back. She wasn't the ring barer or the flower girl at Bella's wedding. After the encounter with Hunter, she felt too guilty to even look Bella in the eye.
"I'm so sorry Bella." was her whispered apology as the ceremony continued on.
'He was just joking,' She told herself, remembering the smug smirk on Hunter's face as he hatched his plan of action to her. 'He was just joking...' She continued, her eyes downcast to the ground and her hands clutching the frill of her silky blue dress.
'He was just joking...' She convinced herself.
'He was just joking...' Deep down she wasn't sure if she believed herself anymore.
*flashback*
ooc: um... this was the plot from forever ago that Hunter pmed to me but he hasn't been on so I am not sure if it will work... and these are his words through pm rpging *shrug* but like said before, he hasn't been on in a while so I will make it like it can be ignored.
Orina ran her fingers through her hair in distress after Hunter's confession: "I am going to ruin the wedding Orina, I got orders to do it. I have to kidnap Bella and kill her."
"Who gave you orders?" Orina asked, her tone of voice calm yet frightened.
"I can't tell you, it's for your better to not know the truth Orina. I didn't want you to get into this situation in the first place. I hope you understand that I love you and will do anything and everything to protect you. This protection is for your own good. I don't want you to get hurt."
There were a thousand things rushing through Orina's head: "You love me?" "You can't kill my cousin." or even "I love you too, but we can't go through with this." Orina stayed silent though, her hair covering her face as a tear cascaded down her eye. She just couldn't go through with it... she wished it was all over. Why did she have to fall in love with him?
*end flashback*
Everything reminded her of him now. Everything. She couldn't get her mind off of him or what he was trying to do. She didn't care much about his brother Peter, he never liked her, but cared tremendously about Hunter. Orina's favorite song on the face of the planet came from a movie called Anastasia. The movie was alright, but there was a song during the credits that touched her heart and she listened to it ever since. But with Hunter around, the song she heard made her cry... she didn't know why but... it was something about the heart of the lyrics that made her cringe with sorrow every time she heard the song:
We were strangers starting out on our journey Never dreaming what we'd have to go through Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you Unexpected what you did to my heart When I lost hope you were there to remind me This is the start
And Life is a road and I want to keep going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road now and forever A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there whenthe storm is through In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure Never dreaming how our dreams would come true Now here we stand unafraid of the future At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere Like me alone in the dark I know that my dream will live on I've been waiting so long Nothing's gonna tear us apart
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you
'In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you' Orina let out a little sniffle, trying not to catch the attention of everyone around her.
Bella came out in her stunning wedding dress, dwarfing everyone else's dress combined. Orina let a smile escape her lips. She was glad for Bella. 'I hope you live a happy life with your soon to be husband.' She thought, knowing that if Hunter fulfilled his plan that would never happen, no matter how many vampires they sent after the captured Bella.
"She's so beautiful." She whispered a little louder for a few people around her to hear. There was a girl next to her she had never seen before dabbing her cheek with a handkerchief, trying to suppress the tears of joy. Orina let a tear slip down her face as well and put her hand up to stop it before it fell onto her dress. While others were trying to suppress tears of joy Orina was trying to suppress tears of sorrow.
'Why Hunter, why?' She questioned to herself, hoping she didn't accidentally say that out loud. Good thing she didn't. 'You thought you could change him didn't you,' Orina cursed herself, 'You thought you could get him out of his evil werewolf ways.' She cursed once more, 'You were wrong.'
"You were wrong." She whispered.
The Wedding vows were said and Bella was no longer a Swan, but a beautiful star in the sky, like the ancient mythical story of the swan who transformed into a star. 'Now she's a Cullen.' Orina thought, drumming her hands on the seat now. She was getting nervous. The time was probably going to come. Hunter was going to come any minute now and ruin everything and Orina couldn't do anything to stop it. If she did, what if Hunter hated her after that? She hoped maybe he mixed the date up or forgot about the wedding, then he wouldn't come and things would be better off after that... maybe Hunter and Orina could even get together. Orina peered down at herself. Who was she kidding? A stuck-at-14 year old Vampire would never ever end up with a Werewolf. It was a miracle that the vampire was with the human in this case, but a vampire against the enemy of all time: the werewolf? Never in a million years. It just couldn't and wouldn't be done.
Orina clenched her fists together even harder as Bella walked away from the precession to talk with a few friends.
"I knew there was somebody somewhere Like me alone in the dark I know that my dream will live on I've been waiting so long Nothing's gonna tare us apart"
"Nothing's gonna tare us apart..." Orina let out a little 'hmph' "Yea right."

Hunter slid into the back of the chruch near the end of the wedding and looked around. Immeadly he saw the human bride and vampire groom. Hunter knew if he was a normal werewolf, not that werewolves were normal, he would be repulsed. Right now he didn't care he had other things on his mind.
Like the plan his brother had hacth with him. The one that he would soon carry out. It was prefect and flaw in design. He would have to wait and see if it held up to however many vampires were in the room. From what he had herd from Aria and Orina they were all touchy when it came to Bella. So the point of the plan was not really about Bella, but to see if they could pull off kidnapping her.
Then Orina walzted by. To Hunter she looked like she was floating across the floor. For a moment all he could do was wacth. Then he got up the nerve to slowly walk over to her.
"Orina" he said a bit nervously, coming off as professniaol "Would you like to dance?"
The entire song lyrics to song he had only heard maybe once before played through his head:
We were strangers starting out on our journey Never dreaming what we'd have to go through Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you Unexpected what you did to my heart When I lost hope you were there to remind me This is the start
And Life is a road and I want to keep going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road now and forever A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there whenthe storm is through In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure Never dreaming how our dreams would come true Now here we stand unafraid of the future At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere Like me alone in the dark I know that my dream will live on I've been waiting so long Nothing's gonna tear us apart
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you
Hunter hoped Orina would yes.

It was that day, and how horrible fate was being as his phone continued to ring off the hook. Several times he had to stop his conversation and take a call explaining what was going on and he couldn’t go running to the hospital to give an ‘opinion’. The moment he dashed back to the scene he met up with Esme, he looked as if she was about to explode with questions as the music started he gritted his teeth before simply wrapping an arm around her and sitting down. He hated to do this to his loved one but it was Bella and Edwards day. “ What is it, love?” His voice questioned, the honey orbs turning to meet a familiar pair of his wives.
He went silent turning as the ceremony began. Pride. It could simply destroy one’s self but this pride wasn’t in himself. It was in his son that stood before the altar. Words didn’t describe how Carlisle felt, they all found someone. Today, proved it. He needn’t worry any longer that they would be separated and be cursed to a lonely life. The moment the minister announced them husband and wife, a large sigh of relief trickled from Carlisle’s lips. Nothing..spoiled it, his eyes caught hold of Bella’s beaming smile, which made him shift, squeezing Esme’s hand softly before smiling back.
Carlisle clapped along with everyone else as his eyes watched them leave down the isle. He outstretched his hand to Esme before standing, wrapping an arm gently around her waist. Honey orbs then turned to meet Charlie and Renee, smiling bright he led his wife away from the crazy crowd, he turned once more to look back at Edward and Bella. He chuckled softly, he didn’t need Jasper’s gift to feel what Bella was trying to do. The quick escapes, which wasn’t about to happen. He then paused and turned to meet Esme’s gaze. “You needed something, am I too late?” Carlisle’s softly yet firm voice questioned once again. He was afraid of letting anyone down especially his Esme.

As Bella latched her hands around Alice's, her smile stretched her pale face into one of pure excitement. Giddiness erupted from her tiny frame as she wiped a venemous tear from her cheek. Nothing could have made Alice happier. Jasper was holding back laughter with tremendous force, Carlisle's hand rested with Esme's, and even Rosalie could not help but smile, despite the difficulties that came with the event.
Alice reached up on her tip-toes and whispered into Bella's ear. "I am so happy that you are my sister; nothing could make me happier. And by the way, your reception is going to be a blast! If you dance, I will not bother you about anything ever again, I promise." She hugged her as tight as she could without breaking any bones, and dashed off to hug various relatives of her own and of the Swans. The first she raced toward, of course, was Charlie and Renee.

Bella watched as Leah ran off into the forest, a puzzled expression still laid on her face. She then felt a soft, but cold hand grip her shoulder and words being whispered into her ear. “Bella, I am so sorry….” The voice said. Turning slowly she saw that the words had belonged to Rosalie, who was about an inch from her face. Bella stared at the beautiful person in front of her, the new sister that she now had.
“Rose, please don’t worry. I forgive you.” She said putting her warm hand on top of Rose’s cool one that was still rested on her shoulder. Bella then turned to Emmett and smiled. As she was staring at him, through him she saw Carlilse and Esme. Carlisle had his arm around his wife and they were coming this way.
Bella gazed up at Edward and smiled. She couldn’t stop smiling. “Edward, can we go, and get to the reception room…PLEASE!” She whispered with a hint of urgency in her tone that she hoped he caught. Bella wanted just to be a lone with her new husband, even if it was only for a few minutes, before the REAL entertainment started, or in Bella’s mind…utter torture.
She remembered Alice’s words when they had been leaving the alter, “I am so happy that you are my sister; nothing could make me happier. And by the way, your reception is going to be a blast! If you dance, I will not bother you about anything ever again, I promise." Bella groaned silently, but knew she would have to do it. Edward would make her, but all she had to do was act like it was prom again, and let her new husband twirl her around, and she would have no work at all to do, Bella could just enjoy the night, like she was supposed to.
