Chapter Sixteen, The Big Day

The Big Day had finally arrived. Jasper and Camilla had decided to get married on the 1st September and have a theme of a subtle winter wonderland in the colours royal blue and silver. They were holding the wedding at the Cullen's so the pack and the Denali's could come without putting themselves at risk by exposing Black Manor, and no one would be able to tell those who didn't know where they lived. The Cullen's and Jasper had been slaving away all night under Alice's strict and Hawkeye instructions, and it was finally finished and perfect.

The aisle had a royal blue carpet leading from the back door all the way down to the arbour that was dressed in silks of silver and royal blue with white and blue winter roses with a few silver sprayed ferns woven in. Chairs lining the aisle were covered in white silk with a blue silk ribbon cording them off with the same flowers placed strategically and beautifully. On the other side of the large garden was where the dinning and dancing would be held; fairy lights were strung over the dance floor bringing light to the area. All of the tables both the long top table and long table holding the cake and the dozen round tables were dressed in shimmery silver tablecloths, silver chairs with royal blue cushions sat next to the tables.

On top were silver plates beneath a smaller royal blue cloth, ornaments of winter roses of white and blue, white candles, royal blue napkins, glittery blue table numbers and glittery royal blue and silver table names sat in the middle of the table. The cake Kreacher and Esme had made was beautiful. It was four tier of a deep royal blue with small, silver edible balls covering the cake slowly until the top tier was fully covered. The cake was in the fridge in the Cullen's kitchen under a Stasis Charm, and would be brought out tomorrow. So far everything was set up to Alice's high standard and she finally allowed the others to go hunt or do whatever they wanted to do.

***

The day of the wedding everyone woke up early as there was a lot to do. Once they'd all showed, dressed and had breakfast they piled into the Impala or Apparated for Luna and Neville, to head over to the Cullen's house.
"Mama. Where Dada?" Teddy asked, on the drive over. He was more awake now and was confused on where his Daddy is. Smiling softly at her baby boy, Camilla kissed his forehead sweetly before answering.
"He's at his Mum and Dad's house baby setting up for the wedding and we'll see him soon. I promise. I love you my Cub."
"Otay. Love you Mama." Teddy said happily, giving Camilla a wet kiss before he went back to playing with Moony.

Once they arrived at the Cullen's house Camilla greeted the pack as Leah would also be her bridesmaid along with Luna, Rosalie and Alice and Eve, chatting with them and giving them all a hug.
"We'll see you in a bit. I'm going to make sure everything is running smoothly." Andromeda said, kissing Camilla's forehead. She was the mother of the bride and would also be escorting Camilla down the aisle.
"Okay Andy." Camilla said, starting to dance with Teddy making him laugh. Luna and Neville (Neville who looked amazing in his silver suit along with Fred, George and Emmett), joining her while Fred and George spoke to their mates.

They'd been dancing for a little while when a soft voice interrupted them.
"Auntie Cami." Bree asked hesitantly, from behind her. Turning around Camilla smiled widely at her and kissed her forehead.
"What's the matter sweetie?" She asked lovingly.
"Can I dance with you, Teddy, Luna and Neville?" Bree asked.
"Of course." Camilla agreed, holding out her free hand. It was Bree's turn to smile widely at her as she took Camilla's hand, giggling as Camilla twirled her in a circle under their joined hands.
"Do you know where uncle Jasper is taking you on your honeymoon?" Bree asked curiously after awhile.
"No I don't." Camilla laughed making Teddy laugh with her. "He said it's a surprise. But I'm happy we're taking my little Cub with us." She said happily, rubbing her nose against Teddy's making him giggle.

Before Bree could say anything Esme appeared smiling at them.
"Bree you can help keep Teddy entertained and get him into his suit a bit later; Luna, Camilla you need to go get ready now.
"Mama will see you in a bit Cub. Love you." Camilla said, kissing his forehead. "Thanks Esme." She added, as the elder woman took Teddy and distracted him while Luna and Camilla headed upstairs.
"Have you got your white bridal underwear and silver garter on?" Alice asked, as soon as they stepped into Rose's bedroom. 
"Yes Ally, and Esme has Teddy for the time being." Camilla assured.

As they were rather pushed for time Alice and Evelyn did everyone's makeup while Rosalie did their hair making them look even more beautiful then they normally are, once they were satisfied with their 'masterpieces' as they called it, they then did each other's hair and makeup. Once they were all done they started on Camilla's hair and makeup. While Rosalie and Alice were doing Camilla's hair and makeup, the girls were getting changed into their shoes and dresses. Thankful of the Stasis Charm Camilla and Luna applied so the hair and makeup didn't smudge and they looked stunning. Luna was Camilla's Maid of Honour while Leah, Eve, Alice and Rosalie were her bridesmaids. Despite this, they all had similar dresses on in royal blue but in a beautiful off-the-shoulder mermaid style.

They all had silver steeply heels, and they all had royal blue, silver and white nails, one of the blue nails even had a snowflake on it. For their makeup: they had a Smokey natural eyeshadow that faded into royal blue, winged eyeliner, mascara and red lipstick. Leah and Alice had their short hair curled beautifully; while Luna, Eve and Rosalie had their long hair in a side messy bun with plats strewn through it. And to finish it off they each had a bouquet of white and blue winter roses with some silver sprayed greenery.

"You all look gorgeous." Camilla squealed  happily, almost bouncing in her chair in excitement. "You're partners aren't going to be able to keep their hands off of you." Camilla winked, laughing when Leah blushed and chucked a pillow at her (which she flicked away with a wave of her hand), but she got told off by Alice and Rose for nearly ruining their masterpiece.
"Right your turn." Rose said, coming over to remove the cloth on the mirror when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Alice called.
"Auntie Alice, Mum, can I come in?" Bree's voice sounded through the door. "Teddy wants his Mummy." She said, coming into the room with Teddy in her arms once Alice had opened the door. Only to stop and stare at Camilla.

"What?" Camilla asked confused, as she took Teddy into her arms for a cuddle which settled him down. Camilla noticed as he snuggled into her that he smelt like cinnamon, like Jasper. "Have you been snuggling with Dada, baby?" Camilla asked holding him close.
"You look beautiful auntie Cami." Bree answered her earlier question.
"You really do." Rosalie agreed with her daughter. "Ready?" She asked. Nodding her head; Camilla gasped as soon as she saw herself in the mirror. She couldn't believe that beautiful woman in the mirror was her.

Camilla had silver eyeshadow which was slightly smudged towards the edges, black winged eyeliner, black mascara and red lipstick. Her hair was curled and placed into a romantic chignon with a braid going through it and a few strands framing her face, and her nails were painted royal blue, silver and white, one of the blue nails even had a snowflake on it.
"Oh my Merlin. Rose, Alice thank you." Camilla said gratefully, as tears filled her eyes.
"Hey! No smudging my masterpiece." Alice scolded jokingly.
"Cami, you are beautiful. All we've done is enhanced what was already there." Eve, Alice and Rose said, kissing her head.

"We've been trying to tell her that for years." Luna said seriously, before sticking her tongue out at Camilla. "Teddy, come to auntie Moon and lets get you dressed." Luna said, taking Teddy from Camilla.
"Bree you look beautiful. I can finally tell you now that everyone has stopped teasing me." Camilla said, mock glaring around the room making everyone laugh.
Bree was in a long sleeved silver lace skater dress that came to above her knees, royal blue glittery flats, her hair was in a curled side ponytail with two braids running through it and clear lipgloss.
"Thank you." Bree said happily, hugging Camilla tightly and Camilla hugged her just as tight. "I love you auntie Cami, you and Teddy and I'd never do anything to hurt either of you."

"I know that sweetie." Camilla said, smiling kindly at the young girl. Just then Teddy came toddling over and he looked adorable in his silver-grey suit with a royal blue tie and waistcoat and dark brown shoes. "Oh, don't you look handsome, Cub." Camilla cooed, making Teddy beam happily.
"Right time to get into your dress." Rosalie said, walking over to her wardrobe and pulling out the dress bag while Bree and Leah played with Teddy. Unzipping the bag Rosalie carefully pulled out the beautiful dress Camilla had chosen, Rosalie gasped in awe as it was her first time seeing Camilla's dress.

It was a regal wedding dress in pink tulle and silver embroidery with illusion bodice and sleeves. The dress had a voluminous, powder pink, raw-cut tulle skirt, as well as a three-dimentional silver embroidery on the bodice and sleeves.
"It's beautiful Cami." Rosalie and Eve exclaimed.
"Let's get you in it as Andy is on her way up." Eve said. Standing up Camilla took off her dressing gown leaving her in her white lacy underwear and garters. Rosalie, Eve and Alice helped Camilla step into her dress and lace her up, and then helped her step into her royal blue peep-toe heels that had some white lace on the back of them and said 'I Do' on the bottom.
"Rose, Eve, Alice." Andy called, as she knocked on the door.

"Hi Andy, you look beautiful." Alice chirped. Andy wore a beautiful long sleeved, silver-grey dress in an off-the-shoulder, v-neckline, with a jewelled detailing around the waist. She had on royal blue heels with silver detailing, her hair was in a ponytail with a braid running through it. As for her makeup: she had royal blue, silver and white nails, silver shimmery eyeshadow which darkened towards the end, eyeliner, mascara and dark pink lipgloss.
"Andy you look amazing." Camilla said happily.
"Oh, Cami." Andy gasped, spotting her pseudo daughter. "You look absolutely stunning, sweetheart." Tears appearing in her eyes as Camilla blushed and muttered a soft 'thank you.'

"Now all that's left is the bouquet." Leah said, handing over a large bouquet of white and blue winter roses and silver sprayed greenery. "You look beautiful, Camilla. Thank you for asking me to be a bridesmaid."
"You don't need to thank me Leah, we're family." Camilla insisted. "And thank you."
"Bree can you go down now, and take your seat. We'll be down in a moment." Eve said, as they all smoothed out their dresses and picked up their bouquets. As soon as Bree had left Alice, Eve, Leah, and Luna followed soon after leaving Camilla in the room with Rosalie and Teddy and Andy.
"I'll see you down there." Rosalie beamed. "Come on sweetie, let's go find Dada." She called to Teddy, holding out her hand.

Looking up from his toys Teddy beamed at his mother and grandmother and took his auntie's hand.
"Mama pwetty." Teddy said.
"Oh, thank you baby." Camilla said, leaning down and kissing his forehead.
"Bye Mama. Bye Nana." Teddy said, waving as he and Rose left the room.
"Ready?" Andy asked, holding out her arm.
"Ready." Camilla beamed, linking her arm though Andy's. As they were about to leave the house that's when it hit her. Camilla was filled with nervous excitement as the realisation hit home, that this was really happening. In a few short moments she would be marrying the love of her life and she couldn't wait.

As they entered the garden and made their way to the start of the aisle a soft wedding match played on piano, started playing through the speakers. Everyone got to their feet looking at Andy and Camilla, but she only had eyes for Jasper. He was standing with Teddy in his arms under the beautiful arbor that he had handcrafted himself. Jasper was looking very handsome in his silver-grey three piece suit with a white shirt and a silver tie and royal blue suit jacket. On his left were Emmett, Neville, Fred and George, and who Camilla assumed to be Peter dressed in similar suits to Jasper only with royal blue ties, the girls were standing on his right on the other side of the arbor.

A wide smile spread across Jasper's face as he looked at Camilla, the grin almost splitting his face in two, as tears built up in his eyes. Which was most likely a mirror image to Camilla's face.
"You look gorgeous darlin'." Jasper said, kissing her cheek as soon as Andy and Camilla had reached him.
"And you look so handsome. I'm glad you left your curls alone." Camilla said, getting a laugh from those who heard us.
"I know well enough by now Ma'am." Jasper laughed, Camilla smiled happily before turning to Andy.
"Thank you Andy." Camilla said, kissing Andy's cheek and then Teddy's before Andy took him and took her seat.

It was a good thing that Jasper was a vampire and had super hearing as Camilla wasn't paying attention to what the reverend was saying, getting too lost in Jasper's golden eyes.
"Jasper and Camilla have chosen to write their own vows to each other to declare their love. Jasper." The reverend said, gesturing for Jasper to say his first.
"Cami, when you walked into my life; love walked in, too. I believe in the couple we will be together, the person you will grow to be and the person you've grown in me." Jasper started, staring deeply and lovingly into Camilla's eyes as tears started welling up. "With my whole heart, I take you as my wife, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I promise to be faithful and supportive, and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority.

I will be yours in times of plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you, and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my soulmate- my love and my life, for now and forever." Jasper finished, wiping away Camilla's tears and slipping the rose gold diamond wedding ring on to her finger in front of her engagement ring. Camilla cleared her tight throat when the reverend gestured to her.
"They say love is like magic and I honestly couldn't agree more. I take you as my husband Jasper, for now and forever, without any hesitation or reservation. You are my family, the father to our son, and I want to be there for you in all things, I am so excited to be your wife and share in every moment with you. I love you utterly, completely and madly." Camilla cleared her throat once more before continuing Jasper's hand resting on her cheek.

"I love not just in this moment, or the good moments, not for an hour, or a day, or a year - I will always love you. For in all the world there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine. I promise to be a nurturing wife, a compassionate companion, and to always be on your side, always." Camilla said, as she slipped Jasper's ring on to his ring finger, the ring was exactly like her own but obviously bigger.
"Now the couple have chosen the intimate form of hand-fasting for their wedding as well." The reverend informed, as he wrapped a white silk ribbon around their joined hands.
"Do you Jasper Whitlock Hale take Camilla Ivy Potter-Black to be your lawful wedded wife to have and to hold, through sickness and in health; for better or worse; for richer or poorer. For as long as you both shall live?" The reverend asked.
"I do." Jasper agreed happily.

"Do you Camilla Ivy Potter-Black take Jasper Whitlock Hale to be your lawful wedded husband to have and to hold, through sickness and in health; for better or worse; for richer or poorer. For as long as you both shall live?" The reverend asked.
"I do." Camilla agreed happily.
"Then by the powers vested in me by God and the State of Washington. I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." The reverend said, as he unwrapped their hands. As their friends and family erupted into cheers, Jasper pulled Camilla into his arms kissing her passionately, bending them backwards for a deeper kiss that lasted several minutes.

When they finally pulled back so Camilla could catch her breath, they erupted into cheers again, throwing confetti over them as they made their way back down the aisle.
"You look very handsome Jasper." Camilla said, kissing his cheek as they stood before the tables waiting to greet their guests before dinner.
"And you look stunning. When I saw you, you took my breath away, for it felt like my heart had started beating again only for it to stop again." Jasper said, his voice husky as he pulled Camilla in for another passionate kiss. That is until they were interrupted by Fred and George clearing their throats.

"Oh, congratulations Cami." Luna said, hugging her sister tightly.
"Thanks Luna." Camilla said happily, hugging her just as tightly.
"Congratulations both of you." Neville said, hugging Camilla and then shaking Jasper's hand.
"Thanks Nev, Wacky, Wiley, Quil, Leah." Camilla said happily, once they'd all congratulated them and Teddy was happy on Camilla's hip in between Jasper and her who had his arm around Camilla's waist.
"Congratulations sweetheart." Andy said, pulling Camilla into a hug and then Jasper.
"Thanks Andy." Camilla and Jasper said together. Next up, was Alice, Eve, Rosalie, Emmett, Bree, Carlisle and Esme to congratulate them.

Alice informed them she had been taking lots of pictures already and that they will have loads once she's done. Emmett joking that they may need another camera for that then, earning himself a slap around the back of the head before Alice left taking Camilla's veil to put it away upstairs along with all the gifts we had received, which Camilla was surprised at. Next, was Billy, Sue, Harry, Sam, Emily and the rest of the pack who hugged Camilla tightly and shook Jasper's hand as they offered words of happiness and congratulations. Then another group of vampires approached them.
"Darlin', I'd like to introduce you to our cousins the Denali's." Jasper introduced. "This is Eleazar and his wife Carman, Kate and her two sisters Tanya and Irina."

"It's nice to meet you. This is our son Teddy, who's gone rather shy." Camilla laughed, as Teddy buried his head into her neck, smiling happily at the two brunettes and three blondes before her.
"Don't worry, it's nice to meet you as well Camilla. And can I say, you look ethereal and your son is so handsome." Kate said, smiling widely.
"They invited them." Irina hissed, her eyes locked on where the pack sat spread over three tables, stopping what Carmen had been about to say.
"Do not do this Irina." Tanya hissed annoyed.
"We invited them because they're my family, just like your Jasper's family." Camilla hissed, narrowing her eyes at her as her magic swirled around her and her eyes turned amber.

"They killed Laurent." Irina hissed angrily scaring Teddy.
"Yes, because he was planning on killing Bella, who's dead anyway but that doesn't matter. Now lower your voice you are scaring my son." Jasper hissed angrily. "Tell me Irina. Do you condone the threat to my son's life? A baby, or that of my mate? Because he was working for Victoria who was set on killing us including my mate and son!" Jasper growled. Before she could open her mouth a thick Texan accent spoke up from behind the Denali's.
"If you unleash the Major and ruin his and Camilla's wedding day there will be hell to pay. So, I suggest you either shut up and suck it up, or you leave quietly." The man growled, who Camilla had assumed was Peter.

With a huff Irina stormed out of the gardens and left taking off back to her home.
"I'm sorry Jasper, Camilla." Eleazar apologised.
"I do hope baby Teddy is alright?" Carmen asked worriedly, as Camilla rubbed Teddy's back calming him down.
"Just startled and thank you." Camilla said, smiling softly at them.
"My love, I'd like to introduce you to my brother Peter and his mate Charlotte, but she prefers to be called Char." Jasper amended, when Char mock glared at him.
"Thank you Peter." Camilla said gratefully.
"You're welcome lil' lady. But you don't need to thank me, your family and I'd do anything for Major and my family. So congratulations I can't wait to meet my new nieces and nephews." Peter said, making Camilla confused.

"He has a gift." Jasper started to explain but he got cut off by Peter.
"It's not a gift." Peter argued. "I just know sh- I mean I just know stuff." Peter amended, under Camilla's, Jasper's and Char's glare. Plus Camilla's magic was still thick within the air.
"Peter!" Char scolded, slapping his chest. "Anyway, I know they're going to be as gorgeous or handsome as their big brother and their mother." Peter said, making Camilla blush.
"Congratulations." Char smiled, while shaking her head at her mate and husband.
"Thank you and I love your dress." Camilla complimented, looking at her tight fit, dark royal blue lace dress that she'd paired with dark silver peep-toe heels and natural makeup.

"Thank you. I wanted to go with the theme." Char laughed, hugging Teddy and Camilla and kissing their cheeks, Peter kissed Camilla's knuckles and ruffled Teddy's hair, before they took their seats. Heading over to the cake Kreacher and Esme had made and it was amazing. Everyone cheered as they cut into the cake together which revealed to be red velvet cake Camilla's favourite, (Leah was holding Teddy for the moment). Cutting their small slice in half Jasper fed Camilla her half and then Leah helped Teddy eat the other half.

Once Camilla had finished eating, it was time for throwing the bouquet which Luna caught and Camilla was happy as she could finally get Neville back and tease him. After the bouquet had been put away they all sat down to eat the wonderful three course meal that Esme, Andy and Kreacher had cooked, (for the vampires it tasted like animal blood). Jasper and Camilla sat in the middle of the top table Jasper on her right, with Andy and Luna on her left. Emmett and Peter sat on Jasper's other side.

***

After a wonderful meal and the speeches which elicited many laughs, smiles and tears it was time for the first dance.
"May I have this dance, Ma'am?" Jasper asked. Smiling Camilla placed her hand in his and let him lead her to the dance floor where she wrapped her arms around his neck and Jasper wrapping his around her waist.
"Of course, my Major. Who am I to turn down a dance with my amazing husband?" Camilla teased, kissing his cheek. "I meant everything that was said in the speech, Jazz. You mean so much to me and I love you so much." Camilla said, kissing his lips tenderly as they swayed in time with the music.
"I know my love. I feel the same way for you, as I said in mine, and I love you so much too. But thank you darlin, you truly are amazing." Jasper said, kissing her lovingly.

Jasper and Camilla danced for a few more songs, twirling around and spinning her back into his arms. For the last few songs Nev, Luna, Teddy and the others joined them, all of them dancing and laughing together.
"Can we cut in?" Andy and Peter asked.
"Of course." Camilla and Jasper agreed, as Jasper now danced with Andy and Peter danced with Camilla.
"I'm so happy my brother has found someone who makes him happy." Peter said, twirling Camilla around.
"He makes me and Teddy happy too." Camilla stated.

***

After dancing with Esme and Carlisle and then her Fred and George, Alice took Camilla and Teddy upstairs to change out of her wedding dress and Teddy his suit. While Alice put the dress back in the bag, Camilla changed into a pink off the shoulder top, blue jeans and light pink almost white wedge sandals. Once she was finished Alice took her hair out of the up-do and decided to leave it down apart from the sides pinned back. They then changed Teddy into a white top with a wolf on it, blue shorts and grey sandals.
"Thank you Alley." Camilla said, hugging her tightly.
"You're welcome Cami. We better get going." Alice said, holding her suitcase that she, Eve, Luna, Leah and Rosalie had packed.
"Have fun and don't do anything any of us wouldn't do." Leah said, winking as all of her friends laughed.

"You're as bad as Fred ." Camilla laughed hugging all of them tightly.
"You say that like it's a bad thing." Fred huffed jokingly, as he pulled his baby sister into a tight hug.
"Of course not." Camilla drawled, teasing him as he pouted at her his hand over his heart as he staggered backwards. After hugging the rest of their friends and family Camilla hugged Andy tightly while George handed Jasper the Portkey that would take them to their surprise Honeymoon location. Well, it was a surprise for Camilla and Teddy.

"Have fun baby. We'll see you in two weeks." Andy said, hugging her daughter tighter for a moment before letting Neville, Luna and the twins hug her.
"Have fun and be safe." Neville said.
"I will Nev. I love you and I love you Luna. I love you Wiley and Wacky and I love you Andy." Camilla replied, holding a tired Teddy on her hip as he rested his head on her shoulder.
"Cami." Jasper warned, as the Portkey will be leaving soon.
"Bye." was the last thing thing they said before they were whisked off to their Honeymoon.
