So, first off, I know Jacob hasn’t imprinted on Bella according to Stephenie Meyers. But hey, a girl can dream right?

I looked at myself in the mirror, like so many I had seen do in movies or bridal commercials. But Alice had seriously outdone herself with this wedding and even though I swore to myself to kill her after the ceremony, but I just couldn’t bring myself to be angry with her now. In truth, I was actually quite grateful.

I realized that this wedding is exactly the kind of wedding every single girl has dreamt of since she hit puberty and hormones ran high. Aside from the fact that it was overcast, surprise surprise, the setting was perfect. The decorations, bleach white and blue, were the very definition of elegant, and something about the intoxicating scent in the air made the whole scene very comforting as I breathed it in.

I had read about this kind of happiness in novels. Truly I felt like Elizabeth Bennet right about to marry Mr. Darcy. Or even like Elinor who just realized her future happiness with her dearest Edward. I felt like I was in a Jane Austen novel too, drama and all.

But eventually reality came back to me as I looked back into the mirror, my short figure curved in a very fitting dress, it sparkling white like Edward’s skin in the sunlight. I sighed remembering the very few times I’d seen him like that. By the feel of the dress I guessed Alice had gone personally to Paris or Italy especially to get it.

I fingered the satin gloves resting on the chair next to me, when I heard the door silently creak open. I threw a glance over my shoulder, wondering who would bother me after I specifically asked not to be! About to yell at my intruder, I was muffled by surprise.

There, peeking through the door was Emily Young, Sam’s fiancée. Her dark eyes found her way to me and she smiled that warm, motherly smile at me and I immediately relaxed.

“Come in! Please.” I managed through my shock. I never thought anybody even associated with the pack would come to my wedding, let alone the fiancée of the pack leader. Something about Emily’s presence made me feel more comfortable, somewhat closer to home. I didn’t know what that meant, but in any case I liked it.
