Summary:

The day of the has arrived and Bella is worried that Charlie will forget his only job. The minister. Before this day, Bella was spending all the time she could with her mother. Before she walked down the aisle, Bella received Silver combs with sapphires on them. The combs used to be her grandmother and provided the something old and something blue. During the emotion wedding, Edward and Bella asked if the minister could change "til death do us part" to "as long as we both shall live" to be more appropriate. Everything seemed to be in place even Seth being in Jake's place.

During the reception, Bella met Seth, Billy, and Mrs. Clearwater. She though maybe this would be a truce between the clashing clans instead of a declaration of war. Bella also finally met Tanya and the rest of her clan. They were very nice and glad to met her. After Edward pointed out how beautiful Bella was and how she realized the girl in the reflection had a dress resembling a calla lily, Jacob arrived at the party. This thrilled Bella. They talked for a few dances even about the date of her changing. But he left very enraged. They fought over how she could or shouldn't have a real honeymoon.

With Jacob gone the reception soon ended. Edward and Bella embarked on their mystery destination.

Response:
Weddings are so happy and beautiful. They are also fun to read about. I love seeing or picturing the father's reaction. Charlie is the best. But this wedding is sad in a way because Bella won't be able to see her family. Passing on the silver combs was very symbolic to me. They show the feelings of the parents and that Bella will never be forgotten. I was glad to hear that Jacob came. Mostly because he is my favorite character. But when he couldn't control his feelings, I thought, they are just normal boy emotions magnified by ten thousand.
