Rebirth

Reception

  My heart would beat with happiness if I had one. I finally met and married the love of my life after a long search. That night was the best night of my life.

It was the best night of my life. The stars were shining brightly, and the party was in full swing. 

All of my siblings were dancing along to the music the band was playing and everyone seemed in good spirits. I was overjoyed that Riley's family was getting along well with mine. Carlisle and Esme were chatting with Riley's parents like they have been friends for years. 

I was excited to live life as a married woman even though neither Riley nor I would ever age or have kids. 

Riley and I shared our first dance on the dance floor. During the last three years of dating, we have experienced a great deal together, and that showed how strong we were together. I felt like the happiest girl in the whole world. 

"Forever?" I whispered to Riley while we held each other. "Forever," he raised my face to kiss me. The crowd of wedding guests erupted in applause as we kissed. 

Our forever was about to begin, and I was looking forward to that. 

After the reception

Edward smiled proudly, "Congratulations to the both of you," he gave me a brotherly hug. "Thanks Edward," I smiled, hugging him back. 

"We all know you will live a happy life together," Carlisle gave us a fatherly smile. "Have a wonderful time in Paris!" Alice gushed excitedly. "We will," Riley put his arm around me as we approached the limousine that would take us to the airport that would lead us to our honeymoon destination in Paris. I was excited to spend time with Riley as a married couple.
