Breaking Dawn Reflection

Meyer, Stephanie. Breaking Dawn. Vol. 4. New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2007.

Okay, so from the previous book a lot of stuff happens. Such as, Edward proposes to Bella and she says yes, as long as Edward promises to "give himself" to her on the honeymoon. Edward agrees and says he will try. In Breaking Dawn it begins with forshadowing of Bella and Edward telling Charlie (Bellas dad.) Bella was absolutly petrified to tell her dad. I mean it is pretty weird that they're getting married at 18.. but their in love so its understandable. Bella calls Charlie into the living room where Edward and her are sitting on the couch and Bella's sweating bullets. Charlie immediatly thinks Bellas pregnant when she says, "Charlie, Edward and I have something to tell you.." Edward then cuts in when Bella can't finish her sentence when trying to tell him whats really up. Reluctantly, Charlie wasn't really upset and instead says, "Well.. I knew it was coming.." Although, he would only give them his best wishes as long as Bella tells her mom, Rene. Bella was frightened by this thought. Rene was fun, spunky, and a loving mom but she always warned Bella about her mistakes when marrying Charlie because she was too young. Bella finally calls Rene and tells her about the marriage. Rene responds, "Well.. you should of told me sooner... I mean tickets are only getting pricier by the day." Bella was baffled by her response and started questioning Rene about why she wasn't mad. Rene explains, "Hunny, you're not making the same mistakes as me. I mean I assumed it was already said and done, when I saw you last fall." This makes Bella feel relieved and made her look forward to the wedding a little bit more. Bella makes Edwards sister, Alice her maid of honer. Alice who must plan everything and has an eye for fashion, is organizing, planning, decorating, and everything and above for Bellas wedding..considering Bella wants no part in it whats so ever.
