Imagine that you were the younger sister of Isabella Swan and a bridesmaid at the wedding of your sister and Edward Cullen.
***
"Cheer up, Bella! Today you will finally become his wife! You've been dreaming about it so much. Or am I wrong?" you turned to Bella, who was nervously adjusting her dress, hair, veil…" Lord, calm down! Everything will be perfect, honey," you took her hands in yours and looked into her eyes." It's all right. We have everything ready. Honestly," you put your hand on your heart, trying to assure her that everything is fine.
"I-Is Jasper waiting for you?" Bella stammered, and you rolled your eyes.
"If you want to send me away, then say so. But I'm not going anywhere anyway," you quickly added when you saw Bella open her mouth to say something.
She closed her mouth without saying anything and exhaled nervously.
"Where's Dad?"
"I'm now," you went to the door and looked out of it, "Mom, Dad, she's ready."
As soon as your parents showed up at the door, Renee gasped and cried, and Charlie smiled, blinking back tears.
"My baby, you're already so grown up," Renee lovingly took Bella's hands in hers.
"Mom, look, maybe something needs to be corrected," you nodded at Bella and your mom immediately began to look at her, "she was nervous, so something could be erased or confused."
Mom straightened Bella's dress and veil, and then pressed her palm to her lips in an attempt to hold back an even greater flow of tears.
"You're so beautiful, my girl…"
"Edward is so lucky," Dad echoed her.
You were just smiling at your happy sister.
"I'll go, Bella, I still need to pick up the ring," you said quickly and left.
You found Jasper sitting at the end of one of the rows of chairs.
"Do you have the ring?" gently kissing him on the cheek, you whispered.
Instead of answering, he took a ring on a string out of his pants pocket and you exhaled.
"Damn, I forgot…"
He immediately untied the rope and carefully placed the ring on your palm.
"That's all," he said in a velvety soft voice.
"You're the best, Jasper Hale," he laughed, "no, I'm serious! Thanks." you kissed him on the lips, and then walked forward and stood on the bride's side.

Bella and Edward danced their first dance as husband and wife, and you watched them with tears of happiness in your eyes.
"Do you want the same?" A soft voice came from behind you. You turned to Jasper.
"The most important thing is that she's happy," you muttered, burying yourself in his chest. He hugged you.
"I'm not talking about that," Jasper smiled warmly. "Would you like to marry me?"
"Is this an offer?" you raised your eyebrows.
"So far, just a question," Jasper continued to smile and looked into your eyes, waiting for an answer. "Would you like to marry me one day?
You thought for a few minutes, and then nodded your head with confidence.
"Yes, if it was a question, I would have answered "yes"," you smiled, seeing how Jasper's eyes shone.
"Then first I'll ask your father," he kissed you affectionately on the forehead, and you smiled again.
Jasper was a true gentleman. If he wasn't, he would never have met Maria... and you would never have met him either. You almost flinched from such thoughts, but you felt yourself starting to calm down. Not by choice.
"Don't influence me, honey. Please," you insisted, sighing heavily.
"You're scared of something," Jasper remarked, tilting his head towards you.
"It wasn't you or the offer that scared me," you simply replied. You didn't want to reveal to him the real reason for your fear, you didn't want to remind him of Maria and the pain she caused Jasper on such a beautiful day as your sister's wedding.
You raised your head and looked into his eyes.
"I love you, Jasper Hale," you said simply, looking at him tenderly.
"And I love you, Y/N Swan," he smiled back and you saw how golden eyes twinkled with sincere love.
Hale hugged you, gently hugging you to him, because he didn't even want to accidentally hurt you. You exhaled, hugging him back.
He held his breath, although he didn't even need to breathe, but Jasper pretended that he was human so that no one would understand or even suspect that the Cullen family were vampires. You understood that the smell of human blood tickled his nostrils, and he had problems with self-control, so you pulled away from him, but took his hand.
At that moment you were very happy and nothing could change that.
