Elena Swan/Cullen in Breaking Dawn part 1

Speeches, dances, putting my foot in my mouth and leaving.

Elena's POV: (Opening thoughts)

We;; weddings over and now it's reception. Which of course is lovely decorated thanks to my pixie like new sister in law. That feels weird saying.

*Elena Cullen in Breaking dawn part 1*

We are greeting people and thanking them for coming. Seth comes running up to us.

"Hey man!" He greets Edward like a brother. Their relationship had grown since the battle with Victoria and Riley when they fought side by side. They bro hug. "Nice to see you. I'm happy for you."

"Thank you," Edward says to him.

Billy and Carol appear. I hug carol.

"Congratulations Elena," she says and then she smiles at Edward kindly. "I'm Carol Black... Damon's mum, it's nice to meet you."

Edward shakes her hand and greets her with a warm smile. "And you too Mrs Black."

"Carol please," she says sounding offended.

"I hope you'll be happy Elena," he tells me. "And I'm sure Jake'll tell you himself when he's done dancing with Bella!"

We all laugh.

"Thank you you two," I say before turning my attention fully to Carol. "Have you heard from him?"

Her smile drops a little but she knows who I mean straight away. "I'm sure Damon wishes you the best."

I nod. Although Damon and I had set boundaries he still does not want me to become a vampire so he does not want Edward and I to get married.

"Well I plan on getting drunk," Charlie says and we all chuckle before he turns to Sue Clearwater. "They're serving up some pretty fancy champagne. Sue, can I get you and Carol a glass?"

Billy turns his chair and bumps him. "Sparkling fire water! Sounds great!"

Seth pats his shoulder and follows him as they head for the bar. I smile as first Carol and then Charlie and Sue follow the two.

"Elena," a voice says and a brown hair woman I recognise as a vampire approaches me and kisses me on either side of my face.

The brown hair male by her side hugs Edward and says. "Thank you."

"Thank you," Edward says sounding cheerful.

I know who these guys must be when I see the three blonde girls stood behind them, with a man and another blonde further out.

"Eleazer and Carmen, right?" I ask wanting to confirm and they both nod.

Carmen nods and Eleazer greets me. "Hola."

"Yes and these are our cousins from Alaska and Rosalie's little sister," Edward says and the curly haired blond seems to tense at Rosalie's name. "Tanya, Kate, and ."

"We've heard so much about you," Kate says.

"All good things," Stefan says hugging Edward. "Edward glad you found someone. It's not the same unless you have a good woman at your side!"

"Stefan!" Caroline exclaims and we all laugh but she turns to me. "It's nice to meet you. I'm sure my sister has mentioned me."

"Once or twice," I say shaking her hand. "I can see the resemblance."

"Welcome to the family," Eleazer says.

"Thank you," I say to them grateful they except me.

"Irina!" Carmen says calling out to the blonds who is stood away from our group, staring at the Blacks. "Come meet Elena!"
