Nuh unh...Bella cannot blame Edward for knowing about the lack of annulment when she has done everything not to be with him the past three days for him to tell her! She needs to put on her big girl bloomers, admit she loves him, get over her insecurities, tell him what Rose said, and then together they can decide what happens with her father. I hope Edward has the balls to get her to see all this.

Damned Rosalie! How selfish of her to place blame on Bella for already ruining Emma's reputation! The child is only four-damned-years old! Really! I know she was only sticking up for her cousin but she should have spoken with Edward, not Bella. I'm sure if/when he hears of this choice words will be hurled at Rose.

Oh, thank goodness! Their marriage was not annulled!

Whew! Edward, forever the diplomat. He perfectly introduced Bella and explained it all. Thank goodness this Esme is a LOT nicer than the "He Came Along" Esme!

Mrs. Cope is so sweet with Bella. I'm hoping she will continue to be so, to guide her, and to gently push her into Edward's arms.

OMG! I love this Edward! Brilliant! Now we know for sure what happened to the Swan fortune. I hope they find this Mr. Smith embezzler and bring him to justice, and are able to return what's left of the money. Now, to get Bella to drop the walls around her heart.

YES! I am so excited! Edward purchased everything from Mr. Banner that Bella sold to him. I just hope she will realize Edward did this out of love.

Uh, oh. I guess Edward will now realize that Charlie has dementia.

Thank goodness Edward has the foresight to treat Bella as a skittish filly. Maybe she will slowly let her guard down. I am so thankful Jasper was so brilliant in finding out about her outing and letting Edward know. Maybe he will go buy the pendant back and present it to her the night of the ball.

I guess Edward assumed Bella knew he was paying for the dresses, but he shouldn't assume. I hate that she sold her mother's sapphire pendant. Maybe he will find out about it and buy it back for her, and repay her for the dresses.

Well, well, well... It seems Mr. Cullen is truly smitten, and very willing to proceed with the marriage. Even further by announcing their marriage. Let the courting begin!

Perhaps she should give Edward the benefit of a doubt since he seems sincere in asking about her day, and her father. She needs to be honest and forthcoming with him.

Yep. Edward is smitten with Bella, and may not want an annulment? Works for me!

Oh, crap! Why did Pastor Webber allow him to sign the marriage decree?! Oh, no! lol What a mess!

Mrs. Mallory, the shark matron looking for her daughter's suitor. lol

Oh, my! What a way to introduce one's self by way of a gun barrel. And Edward is already smitten with Bella. ;)

Mr. Banner is a kind gentleman. Lauren still considers Bella a friend, even though her mother now looks down upon her due to her unfortunate circumstances of which is entirely not her fault. And Bella has seen Edward, who neither know of one another or how close in proximity they reside.

Yep. I'm hooked on this one already! :)

Tis sad that Bella's father has dementia and they lost everything to the bank. It was very kind for them to allow them to have one of the cottages in the back of the estate so as not to be totally destitute.
