A/N: Just a short epilogue to my oneshot. Enjoy. (:

Epilogue

“I do.” He replied and slid the ring onto my finger. Tears welled in my eyes as we turned to the minister, our hands clasped tightly between us.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” He grinned at me, his eyes sparkling, and seized my waist. He dipped me and brought our lips together passionately.

“It’s my pleasure to be the first to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Edward Masen.” I didn’t hear the minister’s closing statements as I looked into Edward’s eyes as he grabbed my waist and began walking down the aisle with me. I was tucked into his side and we waved at our various family members.

The rest of the time flashed by me. The receiving line, the pictures around town. All I was concerned with was Edward’s arms around me and his lips constantly at my neck. When his lips moved down towards my collarbone, I had to push him away.

“Save that for tonight, hubby.” He grinned at the nickname and nipped at my earlobe.

“I love it when you call me that, baby,” He breathed in my ear and licked it. I swatted his hand away.

“No, Edward!” I hissed. “Our friends are in the limo, and um, my older brother is just one seat away from me. If he sees us having a little sexcapade in the back of our limo, he’s probably going to shit a brick.”

“Oh, Bella, my love, you have such a way with words.” I rolled my eyes and hit his chest.

“Hey, Edward, no dirty talking my baby sister,” Emmett warned playfully. Edward growled.

“My wife. Not your baby sister. My wife.” Edward glared at him for a moment and then the limo erupted in laughter. Edward grinned and I mussed his hair as his frame shook with laughter.

“No, but seriously, Edward,” Jasper stated after we finished laughing, “nobody wants to hear you two moaning like we did at Rosalie and Emmett’s wedding.” I shuddered, the image still fresh in my mind.

“Gross, thanks for that visual,” Edward muttered. And then his lips returned to my neck.

Alice, my maid of honor, stood up to begin her speech after Jasper, Edward’s best man gave his.

“Bella and I met in the ninth grade. She was the weird, new kid, and I was the weird inhabitant that no one was friends with, other than Rosalie and Jasper Hale. We had nearly identical schedules, save for our Wednesday lunch period, and became friends instantly. Our friendship stayed close all through college, although there were plenty of times where I felt that Bella would become an abusive friend.” The guests chuckled at that and she grinned.

“I used to force her to go s hopping and we went so often that I thought she might just ditch me. She hates shopping. But there was one time in particular instance that my meddling had finally given her something good.

“We went to a matinee of my favorite book turned movie, Confessions of a Shopaholic, and I guess Bella really loves me because this was about the eighth time I’d made her go. Anyways, we were playing a rousing game of truth-or-dare before the movie started. We had gotten there early and were waiting for the previews. I double-dared Bella to recite the “Can I have your number” MadTV skit to a total stranger.” More laughter, from Edward and all the guests. I turned bright red.

“This is my favorite part,” Edward murmured in my ear, his lips moving against the lobe.

I shivered and turned to Alice.

“She did, begrudgingly and went up to the guy. She’d memorized the skit, oddly enough, and had no trouble relaying it to the stranger. She was surprised, however, when the stranger forced her to go to dinner with him.

“That stranger, my friends, is Edward Masen. I can still remember Bella coming home from various dates, absolutely dazed. And then there was the first kiss…when he said ‘I love you’. Oh, and his proposal.” Alice added a dramatic sigh and I grinned, leaning against Edward as I remembered the romantic night.

“Alice!” I called as I entered our shared apartment after work. It was Valentine’s Day and I was mad. Edward had to work late and wouldn’t be home until past midnight and I was pissed about it. I respected that he worked, although a lot, but still. Valentine’s Day? It was our second together and last year he’d taken me to a romantic restaurant. Our first Valentine’s Day together had been when I’d met him and then six weeks later, he’d asked me to be his girlfriend.

I stomped around the entryway, kicking off my black Uggs and throwing my coat on the coat rack. I sighed angrily as I noticed the sticky note attached to the kitchen sink.

Jasper is taking me out. I’ll be back sometime. –Al

I crumpled it up and threw it out. As I took deep, calming breaths and filled my Sigg water bottle with water. And then I saw them.

Pink, white and red rose petals were strewn throughout the apartment. I walked through the rooms, grinning happily. So he did have something planned!

Unless these had been for Alice and she hadn’t had time to clean them up before going out.

No, no, I stopped the irrational thoughts. Alice hated roses.

So, I figured they were from Edward. I tiptoed into my bedroom and found a box with a note on top of it. It said my name on it in familiar script.

Bella, my love, tonight be ready by seven thirty.

Hmm. It was rather cryptic.

Whatever. I’d take it.

--

I waited impatiently for Edward in the dress he or Alice had picked out. It was dark blue and had an empire waist. I wore the new black wool coat Alice had mysteriously slipped into my closet. My feet were adorned in black flats that were so comfy, they almost felt like slippers.

A knock on the door and my heart was beating in double time. I opened the door and was immediately embraced by my favorite person in the world. He kissed my head and pushed me away to survey my outfit.

“Oh, God, Bella, you look positively delicious. I’m so sorry I lied, love, but I didn’t want you to know about the surprise.”

“It’s okay, Edward. I just didn’t want to be alone,” I breathed as he began kissing my collarbone, inching his lips up my neck and finally to my lips.

Neck. Fetish.

“Let’s get going, my love.”

--

Dinner had been lovely and afterwards, he took me to the movie theater. Weird, but I trusted Edward. He paid for two tickets and brought us into the theater.

Theater Four. Our theater. I grinned as he ushered me into the theater and shut the door behind me. We sat down in the familiar row and in the familiar seats. He raised the arm in between us and brought me to him.

The screen turned on and a memorable video turned on.

I burst out laughing as the MadTV skit came on. We watched it, laughing as memories overcame us.

However, instead of the familiar ending, the picture changed to a photo of us taken on our first anniversary of being together. It was a silly picture, taken by me, but I remember wanting to remember the day forever.

“Bella, my love,” Edward began and moved away from me. He knelt in front of me on one knee. My heart stopped. It appeared I was having an aneurysm.

“You are my life now. Ever since you came into my life, I’ve been a changed man. I love you, Isabella. Will you marry me?”

“YES!” I yelled and hugged myself to him.

“Edward is the sappiest guy you’ll probably ever meet, but she’s perfect for Edward and vice versa. So, to Edward and Bella. Congratulations and may you have many, many years ahead of you.”

“Cheers!” Everyone called. Edward kissed my forehead and the rest of our wedding flashed by.

We danced together to our song; we smashed cake in each other’s faces.

And it was perfect.


I hope everyone found that as fun to read as I found it fun to write.

I got a PM today askking me to update my stories. Eeeek, I'm sorry I haven't updated anything in a while. I've got stuff finished and I've just started writing other chapters.
