Breaking Dawn
Matrimony
(characters originally by Stepehnie Meyer, this version by olivia Deneige)

I woke up to the sound of the usual pitter-patter of rain hitting against my window. Disoriented I tried to figure out what today was. A wave of nausea flooded me. Only one word described what I ws going to descend into, the wonderful world of matrimony. I shuddered at the thought. I loved Edward, no doubt about that. It’s just, Marriage. It was so final. Not that I didn’t want to be linked with Edward for eternity, I often found myself thinking of the name Isabella Cullen and found myself smiling. Renee had raised me to wait, marriage is not something you leap into, like she did. And. . . Jacob. I would never see him again. That was my major price to pay for Edward, the transition was difficult, but bearable. After the day I said my final goodbye and spent the night crying on Edward’s shoulder, I never shed a tear and never uttered another syllable about him. But Jacob still haunted my thoughts. I felt horrible about it, but with Edward, I never wanted to have another walk down memory lane.
I walked into the bathroom, turned the faucet and splashed my face with the cool water, instantly waking me up. I then descended down the stairs to await Alice’s arrival.
Charlie was sitting at the table where it was lined with numerous breakfast items- all of which were burned.
“Dad, what’s all this?” I asked.
“Well, I figured that since your going to be married, I’ll have to make due and get used to my own gourmet.” Charlie said gruffly.
Since I told Charlie about Edward and I’d engagement, the response wasn’t all that positive. Renee wasn’t even going to come up, Phil had plans and she couldn’t grasp why I would do this. But Jasper had a chat with her and miraculously she decided that she was going to desert Phil to have three days of bachelor- like freedom.
My thoughts were interrupted with Alice whispering in my ear,
“So, are you read?” I turned to face her hiding my surprise, and notice the excited gleam in her eye, my heart sank, makeover. I decided to not say andy thing and let out and agitated huff.
When we got outside to the driveway I stopped in shock. In the driveway there was a deep champagne colored lambergenie.
“Alice, what...is...that?!?” I said with incredulity.
“Edward’s wedding gift.” she replied with an innocent look.
“Well then, why do you have it?” I asked.
“Well...I was thinking about it and Edward just said ‘Have a good time.’” she replied.
“Oh.” I said.
I then suddenly found myself in the passenger seat of the car. Alice glided into the seat next to me and we were off.
I glanced at the speedometer, knowing full well I shouldn’t have.
“Alice, please, for once could at least try not to kill me?” I stated.
Alice giggled and pressed on the gas even more. I knew better then to glance at the gaining speed indication. So I exhaled and relaxed into my seat.
The wedding was to be at the Cullen’s home. No where else just seemed to be perfect for our wedding. Thanks to Alice’s suggestion, the wedding was to be at night, because after the rain had let up, the sun broke away thought the thick and deep colored clouds. As Alice pulled into the Cullens’ drive way I was suddenly away of how my consent seemed to give Alice the momentum to go overboard.
Alice then shuffled me into the house and into her room. When I entered the room, I felt as thought I steeped into an exclusive salon. The tables were lined with cosmetics, jewelry, hair supplies and ...my veil. I took a sharp intake of breath when I realized this was happening. I then found the aqua salon chair in the middle of the room.

About 3 hours later I was permitted to see my appearance. I was awed. In an amazing three hours, Alice was able to make me look like a model. Soft and natural-but yet sexy and seductive. I smiled at the last two additives. Edward was finally going to fulfill his promise-and the anticipation was immense. Before I knew it Renee came bursting into the room.
“Oh Bellla, are you sure you are making the right decision?!!?” she shouted before even fully entering the room.
“Mom, yes, I’m positive, more positive than I’ve ever been in my whole life. I love Edward- I don’t know where I’d be without him.” I said confidently.
“Oh baby, you have grown up so fast!” she gushed, “It seems only yesterday I was changing your diapers. . . .” She then wrapped a huge hug around me. Before she could reminisce about my past (to my fortunate) Alice interrupted,
“Bella the wedding is in an hour. I believe we should get you into your dress and fix-up your hair.”
“Oh, yes. Good luck honey, I’ll see you later.” she called as she stepped out of the room.
“Your a lifesaver.” I exclaimed as Alice danced toward me with my dress in her hands.
“Don’t mention it.” she said flashing me a dazzlingly white smile.
I stripped off my clothes and stood still as Alice pulled the lacy satiny fabric over my body. As Alice buttoned up the back of my dress(because zippers were too commercial for Alice) she said,
“I have a gift,” as I groaned, “but, it’s nothing to extravagant. You have to promise me though that you’ll wear it, tonight.” she stressed the last word.
She then thrust a velvet box into my arms.
I opened the box and my mouth gaped open. Inside was a burgundy, lacy, baby doll nightie. I then got by what she said by tonight.
“Oh,” I muttered as the blood rushed to my face. She looked at me as though she was going to say something but we were inturupted by Esme entering the room.
“The wedding is going to start soon, so Alice you should go get ready, com.” she said melodically.
It was almost comical how joyish Esme was for the wedding.
When we reached the bottom of the staircase I heard the song that made my heart pound in anticipation, Alice suddenly appeared beside me and gave me my bouquet. The doors then opened.
As I decedent up the isle my eyes were glued on one thing- Edward. I noticed the intense look he had.
‘It’s all right Edward I’m not going to run’ I thought as I came nearer. He instantly relaxed and a wide grin came over his face. I arched my eyebrows. His eyes twinkled.

When I reached the podium I handed my bouquet over to Alice and then felt Edward gently take my hands into his icy palms. I blushed at Edward as he stared at me.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today. . . “ the minister droned.
The wedding went very smoothly. I had to keep from giggling when the minister said,
“Edward, do you swear to love, honor and cherish Isabella forever?”
“Forever.” Edward vowed.
And before i know it, Edward pressed his icy lips to mine and the minister said” I now present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen.”
Mrs. Edward Cullen.
* * * * * * *

‘Mrs. Edward Cullen’ I thought, ‘ It has a nice ring to it’
“I’m glad you approve.” Edward said as he breathed on my neck. As I gasped he chuckled.
Alice then glided over to us.
“Let’s go and get you changed Bella.” Alice cooed.
We then scurried-well I scurried- up to the bedroom.
Alice then dressed me- once again. I found myself wearing a mini summer dress that looked like an exact replica of my dress. I then headed to the backyard for the reception.
* * * * * * *

In the 20 minuets I was the gone the backyard had transformed into a totally different atmosphere. There were twinkling lights all around that seemed to be floating in midair. I didn’t notice Edward until I felt his cool arm slip around my waist.
“Welcome back.” he murmured in my ear.
“Hey.” I said, my voice turning into a soft whisper.
“Oh, Charlie is looking for you, and it seems he has a surprise.” he said with bemusement in his voice, taking his arm out from around my waist and sauntered. Just as he did that Charlie came up to me twisting his baseball cap in his hands---- not a good sign.
“Um...Bells, I uh... need to give this to you.” He reached into his back pocked and handed me a small cardboard box. I nearly dropped it when I read the label.
“Oh my god dad, condoms!?!” I blurted out trying to keep my voice under control.
“Bella, I’m your father-it’s my job to make sure your prepared for this world.” Charlie said dutifully seeming not quite as comfortable as I was. I huffed and took the . . .thing, and shoved it into my purse hoping no one would see me.
As I walked away I felt a cold breath of air on my neck, “So Charlie gave you something useful?” I could hear the smirk in his voice. As my face broke out in red her laughed. In the distance I could hear Emmett's booming laugher as Alice told him what happened between Charlie and I.
“Well there will be enough time for that.” he whispered softly. My heart execrated with anticipation of what was to come.
I said my last few good byes, the worst of which was to Renee. Who couldn’t stop sobbing. As she headed off with Charlie Alice pulled me off to the side.
“Bella,” she said cautiously, ‘Don’t be afraid. Nothing bad will happen to you.”
I blushed thinking about what she may have seen. She then hugged me and sauntered off to join the rest of the Cullen clan. The Cullens were going to the other “vegetarian” clan in Alaska while Edward and I spent out honeymoon in the mansion. In a week’s time though Alice and Carslile would come down to assist me with my change. Edward requested that not every one come for fear of complications.
I walked with the Cullen’s to their cars, received hugs from everyone-execpt Rosalie of course. Edward held my hand in reassurance as they sped off in their high end automobiles. Edward then embraced me. I hugged him back as he leaned down to press his stone cold lips to my collar bone. I shivered in anticipation.
“I think that it’s time...” he whispered into my collarbone. He then swept me up in to his arms planting a kiss on my lips.
I was so lost, that I didn’t feel him go into the house up the stairs and into his bedroom.
The room-as usual-had totally transformed. The bed had a white and lacy spread with matching light rose pillows. Edward laid me onto the bed, his body cautiously hovering over me. I looked up at him, his eyes gazing cautiously yet burning with desire, different yet similar to my own. I reached out and wrapped my arms around his neck, it seems as though it was a signal because before I knew it he pushed his lips to mine definitely not wanting to be careful, but making sure he was gently. His mouth moved with mine, and I felt his mouth open-something new to me- and cautiously slid his tongue to mine. I moaned in ecstacity and entwined my hands in his hair. I felt him pull away and I was disappointed.
“Don’t worry,” he murmured, “I want to do this-I want you. But do you want to do this?”
I answered this by returning my mouth to his. He cupped my face in his hands and leaned in to another kiss. I then leaned back to let the pillows embrace my head. I reached up like a child wanting to be swept up and began to unbutton his shirt with trembling hands.
Edward gently steadied my shaking palms but yet keeping them in a firm grasp.
“I would like the honor of undressing you first.” he said with a coy smile.
I huffed but felt my heart race with passionate thrill.
I felt him slowly unbutton the corset like front of the boddess of my dress. My head racing of thoughts of what was going to happen. I then felt him pause. I opened my eyes to see him staring at the red nightie that Alice had given me. I smiled in contempment.
“Do you like it?” I questioned.
His eyes flickered in response. He leaned down and lined the crevice of my breasts with kisses. This time it was him who groaned with pleasure.
He took off the nightie to reveal my matching underwear. He then returned his lips to mine. I then took this opportunity to finish what I started. As I unbuttoned his shirt I felt myself soar with the thrill of victory, but also with the thrill of fulfilling my fantasies. When I started to peel the shirt off his skin I was overcome with awe when I looked at his marble chest. I had never seen Edward with his shirt off-well in real life that is- so I was sastisfied to learn that reality was way better that my fantasies.
-Then came the other article of clothing. Edward assisted me with his uh, slacks, but it was an experience that made me nervous, really nervous. I went to unbutton his pants and started to slide the zipper, when I thought ‘how am I going to get his pants off?’
Didn’t seem to show any signs that he had heard my thoughts, but he did assist with taking off his trousers. He than moved in between my legs and started to stroke my body. He leaned down to my ear and whispered “You know, we can always stop if you want to.”
“Edward, I want to do this. Please.” I strained.
He then embraced me so that our bodies came into contact and unclipped my bra. He gently slid it off of me and tossed it unto the floor. I gasped at the cold sensation of our bodies. He paused but I smiled and traced my hands down to the beginning of his briefs. Edward then cautiously slid my underwear off, and gave me an approving once over of my body. I felt blood rush from my breast to my cheeks. Edward then laid his head on my chest.
“You smell divine.” he said as he moved up to my face. I felt his arms move to his elastic waist band of his boxers. My heart drummed steadily with a once in awhile crescendo. I then felt his icy palms move to my undies and pull them down. I gasped...
