Kat's POV

It's time.  Oh, god, it's time.  I never been this scared before.  All those missions, all those near death experiences in my human years can't top this moment today.  The day I become Mrs. Jasper Hale Whitlock.  My hands tremble as I take my bouquet.  I could see Bella was just as nervous and scared as I was.  I move and take her bouquet and hand it to her.  She smiles and sighs deeply. 

(Katherine's bouquet)

"You ready?" She asks. 

I laugh shakily, "Not really."

She chuckles, "Can't believe this is it."

"I know." I give her a smile.  "I'm proud of you, Bells."

She gives me a smile back, "So am I." 

Charlie and Father show up next to us and Charlie gives us both a warm smile.

"You girls ready?"

Bella licks her lips nervously and nods, I smile at him, "We're ready."

"One last thing." Father states and moves around me.  I watch him place a beautiful necklace around my neck.  I gasp softly and touch it gently.

"It's from your mother and I.  Something old, something blue.  It's been in my family for generations."  He clips the necklace around my neck and move to stand next to me.  I look down and admire the beautiful diamond necklace with a blue gem dangling in the center.  It was gorgeous. 

"Thank you, Father." I smile up at him.  

In case anyone was wondering, Alice considered the dress as something new.  Rosalie was so nice enough to let me 'borrow' her earrings for the wedding. 

(Katherine's earrings from Rosalie....until after the ceremony)

Bella moves towards the doors that led outside to the aisle and Charlie takes her hand into his arm.  She lets out a trembling breath and watches everyone rise for them. 

"Ready?"  Charlie asks softly. 

"Yeah." She whispers.  "Just don't let me fall, Dad."  She mutters.

I couldn't help, but giggle. 

Charlie gives her a crooked grin, "Never."

Bella walks out first, her beautiful dress gently brushing against the mossy grass under her.  I still can't believe Alice talked her into wearing something that was so reviling the back, but at least she's covered.  Soon, it was my turn.

I grip on to Father's arm and walk with him towards the aisle.  I swallow a hard lump as I stop to wait for Bella to walk first.  I watch Bella's face as her breath hitches when she looks up at Edward.  Then, as if in a trance, she walks with Charlie, never taking her eyes off of Edward. 

Then, I was up.  I look up and see my love, waiting for me at the altar.  I watch him swallow roughly and gasp as his eyes land on me.  I couldn't help, but blush. 

When I look again, Jasper smiles crookedly and moves for Bella to take her stand next to Edward.  I begin to walk, trying as hard as I could to stop myself from running into Jasper's arms and just stay there forever.  I finally could breathe as I make it to the altar and Father takes my hand into Jasper's and moves to sit with Mother, Charlie, Renee, and Phil. 

I lean close to Bella, "By the way, I brought the flats." I whisper and earn a small laugh from her. 

The minster moves to stand before us and begin to unit us forever. 

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here on this glorious day to witness the union of Edward Cullen, Bella Swan, Jasper Hale, and Katherine Chambers.  I welcome you all for this marriage ceremony.  We are here today to encourage, celebrate and support the covenant these four people, Bella, Edward, Katherine, and Jasper are going to make and to share in the joy that  theyexperience as they pledge their love and commitment to each other.  We rejoice in the manner God has led them to each other and got them to the place where they now stand.  Katherine and Jasper have requested to exchange vows.  Jasper, you may begin."

Jasper swallows roughly, "My Katherine, for years, I have always believed I was bound to be unhappy.  Alone.  As if I never deserved it.  Like it was my destiny.  But, that day when you walked into history class, I never thought it was possible that someone like you, someone so beautiful was created just for me.  My days were always so dark and painful, but you are my light.  My heart.  My soul.  It's because of you that I smile every day.  And I promise to forever keep you smiling.  It's because of you that I am happy every day.  I promise to forever keep you happy.  It's because of you that I know how it feels to be cared for.  I promise to forever care for you.  It's because of you that I have learned how to truly, deeply love someone.  I promise to forever love you.  I promise all these and more, forever and for always."

My lip trembles strongly and I'm trying to push back my tears.  Last thing, I want for people to see what I am. 

"My Jasper, my cowboy." My voice trembles and I laugh.  "You have showed me a different side of love that I never knew existed.  I thank God every day that we met. You took my broken heart and healed it with your touch and you keep close to your own.  I thank you for everything." I smile sadly and lick my lips.  "I vow to be your constant love and support; your devoted partner in life.  To allow myself to grow through your remarkable love for me.  To be your home; to be your place of comfort and calm;  To have faith when our journey is effortless, and when it is challenging.  And when we face adversity, we will never do so alone; Because today I promise you, my love and my best friend, that I will never give up; that I will always believe in us;
And that I will love you completely for all of my life forever."

Jasper smiles big at me, and I could see venom tears forming in his eyes.  I pretend that he had tears and wipe his eyes, stroking his cheek. 

"Bella, Edward, I bid you both to turn and take each other's hand." And they do.  "Edward, please repeat after me.  'l, Edward Cullen.'"

"I, Edward Cullen."

"Take you, Bella Swan."

"Take you, Bella Swan."

"To have and to hold."

"To have and to hold."

"For better or for worse." Bella says as she repeats.

"For richer, for poorer." Edward says.

"In sickness and in health." Bella says. 

Soon, it was as if they were in their own world, looking into each other's eyes. 

"To love." Edward smiles down at her.

"To cherish." Bella says softly.  "As long as we both shall live."

"Do you Edward Cullen take Bella Swan to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"l do." Edward swallows roughly.

"Do you Jasper Hale take Katherine Chambers to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." Jasper smiles big. 

"I love you." I whisper. 

Jasper cups my face in his hands, "I love you." As he pulls me closer, his lips found mine and time seem to have melt away from us.  I could hear the earth singing to us.  Singing a love song just for us.  Words weren't needed.  Just this.  I never wanted it to end.  When the kiss slowly breaks, I snap out of my thoughts as I hear everyone stand and applaud for us.

Jasper's POV

That kiss was the best kiss I ever had.  It was like time had no meaning to me anymore.  Gravity  was a myth.  I almost believed my heart was beating again for the first time in centuries.  To have Katherine in my arms, it was all I needed.  She's mine and I'm hers.  Forever.  Bella and Edward took their first steps as husband an wife down the aisle and smile at everyone they pass.  Now, it was our turn. 

When we passed by familiar faces, I see new ones whom, I assumed, were elementals as well.  The smell of them. They were like Katherine's and Dax's.  When we passed a group of young women, couldn't be more than 15, they all seem to bow when Katherine brushed by.  When I looked back at the girls, they looked like they were dressed in light green dresses and flower crowns.  They carried childlike happiness and glee.  They giggled as they bowed before Katherine and when they looked up, they gave us both warm smiles. 

I turn to Katherine with a confused look, she simply pats my arm, "I'll tell you later."

When we continued our walk, I see several men and women who seem to bow as well, and some men tipped their hats at us. 

Was Katherine like royalty to these people?  I thought Helena and Gregory were the ones who they respected greatly than the elementals.  I hope Katherine can explain this to me...soon. 

(Short I know, but I couldn't figure out what else to write.  I got the next chapter already written, but need to add more to it.  Will post it soon.  But, I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well.  Lots of love.
