Dear Diary:                                                      November 19, 2014

It's that time again!!! And a final one! Can you believe the last member of our family is getting hitched? Everyone is finally paired off. And Carlisle even gave me access to his diary without my begging and pleading this time because he was watching and measuring and practically hovering over Nessie's every move ever since her not so little announcement that she was preggers by that mutt. Ok I just got 3 hairy eyeballs. Fine fine! I'll keep off the subject as the events from 2 weeks ago, still gives me a headache, and where does it say vampires are allowed to have them, anyway?? Hrumph!

Ever since then, I have been in a positive tizzy to get this wedding all set up and ready. If there was vampire speed, I was on it! Though this was what I referred to as a semi-shotgun wedding, I still wanted Nessie to have the wedding of her dreams and since we've—and everyone else in the Northwestern Hemisphere—have been walloped by the polar vortex, we've had snow galore which made Nessie's theme perfect; Winter Wonderland.

Because of the suddenness of the whole thing, we decided on having the wedding in NH instead of La Push which is where Jacob would have wanted. But given Nessie's condition, no one wanted to risk anything. So I ordered two tents; similarly to Seth's wedding there were trees in the ceremony but they were blue as if formed by ice crystals with the UV light. All photos as usual are below so you'll have all of the glamour on display. Colors were blue, white, and some purple tint too plus some gold to offset the beauty of the blue. Nessie's dress was a strapless of the shoulder corset number that when it reached her belly flowed out in a silvery main.

This gave the perfect illusion that she still had a flat stomach which we knew she didn't. The baby was growing and fast. This was different then with Bella and Edward because there was a combination of wolf and vampire DNA. More on that later. Corin and Seth had gotten back from their honeymoon by then only to be thrust into another wedding. They knew what had happened and though weren't entirely too sure what to make of it, went along with helping plan and support. Seth if at all possible, got darker from his tan while Corin managed somehow to avoid looking extra crispy but had a nice tan. She said she found a medicine man in Santorini that made special oils for people with the type of skin like her so she could enjoy time in the sun and not look like a scorched apple afterwards.

We were flying Billy, Charlie, Sue, and the wolves along with their mates the old fashioned way (by plane) out here for the wedding. Jacob wanted Billy to perform the ceremony. Everyone was filled in on what had occurred and though everyone was pretty angry, Rogue managed to assuage them by saying there was a strong possibility it wasn't their fault but that they were under the mind control of a very powerful demon and she would explain it all after the wedding. She too, didn't want to ruin Nessie moment of perfect happiness. Alexander said she spent like literal days up in that attic until she was stiff all over trying to find out anything she could about what could have possessed two teenagers to act so carelessly and sabotage something so easy to hold off on; other than hormones of course.

Sometime, in between my planning out the first dance and the menu while I was walking by her and Alexander's house, I heard an "AHA!" come from the attic so something had been found out. I was very curious but—and though patience is so not my virtue—I had to wait until later to find out what she found out. Something tells me she'll have this diary next time to explain exactly that. This time it's all mine! Weddings....just love 'em!

But I digress. Since Jacob's proposal was hardly romantic and didn't have a ring to go with his near toasting experience, I dragged him shopping along with Bella and Leah. He found a very small ring that was Nessie personified. It was white gold with a pink diamond and the detailing of the white gold was in hearts. We then decided on the marriage bands, Nessie's would match her engagement ring with pink diamonds while his would be just be solid white gold with a more of a tribal pattern. Both were still pretty simple. He could wear his ring around his neck when he would phase so he wouldn't worry about breaking it.

After that was figured out and we had everything wrapped, Jacob made his way to Edward and Bella's place where Nessie had spent the snowy day playing with Sparkles outside. As soon as she saw him, her eyes got big. He took her by the hand and led her and Sparkles to a rather snowy pasture, and then he said:

"Look Ness, I know we're getting married in a matter of days and you already said yes but there's something missing and I really want to do this the proper way ok?" When she nodded with confusion, he continued:

"Regardless of what happened, we can face it as long as we're together. We've seen so much. By all the mortal laws neither of us should even be alive at this point but we are because there's a purpose for us here. And that purpose is to be together and figure things out in this confusing, weird, and sometimes scary world together. I love you so very much and always will. Renesmee Carlie Cullen, will you marry me?"

He was down on his knee at this point presenting her with the ring he just bought and trying not to fall over as the snow was unstable and Sparkles was barking with happiness as Nessie looked at him with tears sliding down her face. They didn't see the rest of the family gathered behind them watching with smiles on their faces.

"Yes."

She sobbed out as his shaky hand placed the ring on her finger and just as he started to get up to hug and kiss her and as she was bending down to do the same, Sparkles saw his moment and jumped in at the right angle making them both topple into the soft snow bank as Nessie landed on top of Jacob and started shrieking with laughter; Sparkles took this opportunity to lick them. They kissed right there in the snow as the rest of us clapped and whistled. That quickly turned into a snowball fight with Sparkles enjoying it for a while before running for cover inside the house. It was a splendid afternoon and got our minds off all the things everyone still had to do.

Esme, Bella, and Leah as usual took over the cooking or catering as they jokingly called it. Bella called a bakery in Hanover that specialized in really cool wedding cakes, they've done a lot of ours including Seth and Corin's and put in a specialty stat order for a winter wedding cake. They promised to have it done on time. Meanwhile, tents were going up, guests were arriving and being put into different locations including hotels for the wolves and humans and the main house for the Denali clan not to mention other covens. We had the Amazon coven come as well as Benjamin and his mate; some of the Irish Coven came as well. Everyone who was sweet on Nessie from the almost war with the Volturi came. Nessie was excited to see them all, especially Zafrina. Clothes were coming out the wazoo and finally it was the day of the wedding! Billy had gotten a license to act as clergy on the internet and was ready to do his part.

Rose was the photographer as usual. The wedding party consisted of Michelle as maid of honor and yours truly, Leah, Rogue, Amy, Corin, and Zafrina. The latter had an interesting time fitting into civilized clothes but she would do anything for Nessie and looked lovely in her violet dress. Jacob's side consisted of Seth as best man with Emmett, Jasper, Keith, Quil, Sam, and Embry as groomsmen. All were getting dressed and beautified in separate locations to not be seen. Nessie was to be walked down the aisle by her parents. Carlisle would actually play the piano this time for his granddaughter's procession. That was extra special because no one had ever heard him play or very rarely. She requested Pachelbel Canon for her walk and Edward's Lullaby to her as the rest of the music while the guests were getting seated. Edward gave Carlisle the sheet music for it so all was set on that front. Now all we had to do was get them married.

People took their places as Carlisle sat down at the piano and started playing Nessie's Lullaby and the processional started not 5 minutes later. Embry walked with Zafrina who was just amazed by the glorious winter surroundings; Quil walked with Corin, Sam with Rogue, we switched things up a bit so that Amy could walk with Emmett, so that Leah could walk with Keith and Jasper and I could walk together. Then it was time for the maid of honor and the best man; Michelle and Seth walked out joking and smiling. Jacob stood near Billy at the alter as finally his precious princess came into view.

Everyone stood up and gasped as Carlisle began playing Pachelbel Canon in D and Nessie came down the aisle in between her two parents who both had tears in their eyes. Hell, all of us did. Nessie looked down for the most part to make sure she didn't trip on her dress. But once she saw Jacob, she forgot all about her dress and didn't care if she somersaulted to the alter. When their eyes met the bond there was almost explosive. It took Billy two tries to get their attention and a lot of throat clearing from the rest of us plus some giggling. Finally, Nessie handed her bouquet off to Michelle and she and Jacob held hands, facing each other as Bella and Edward kissed their daughter and took their seats.

Billy started everything off with a chant similar to what the elder did for Corin and Seth during theirs. Then he had them recite regular vows. Neither had the mind capacity after what happened to write their own. And that was just fine. As Billy pronounced them man and wife; Jacob kissed his gorgeous bride to hoots and hollers from everyone around. Then Billy, waving his arms dramatically introduced the bride and groom for the first time to us as a married couple.

"Ladies and gentlemen it is my great honor and privilege to introduce to you for the very first time as husband and wife; Mr. & Mrs. Jacob and Renesmee Black!"

Everyone jumped up and applauded as Nessie grabbed her flowers from Michelle and she and Jacob ran up the aisle together. They waited until the rest of the wedding followed suit so that the photo op could start right away as the guests made their way from the ceremonial to the reception tent which once again filled them with awe. It was like Winter Wonderland combined with Alice in Wonderland. The colors were so rich and perfect. I think this is the best wedding I have ever put together if I don't say so myself. Jasper winked at me as he got my mood while we were in photo land.

Finally it was time to enter the reception tent which we did as the bride and groom took to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife. Nessie chose "I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis. We all clapped as they twirled and Nessie sang the words to Jacob. It was the perfect song for our imprinted love birds. We danced into the night after dinner was served. Tomorrow we were going to learn the bad news about what Nessie was carrying but just for tonight we were going to enjoy the happiness of these two souls coming together as one.

Listen to me being all philosophical! Carlisle!!! You're rubbing off on me! ;)

XO Alice
