Breaking Dawn: Wedding Scene

          In the book, Breaking Dawn, by Stephenie Meyer I'm up to the part where Edward and Bella are about to get married. In detail, Stephenie Meyer says that Bella is "...beautiful and never looked better..." according to Edward, on the day of the wedding. And to Bella, Edward looked, "...handsome..." and "...I couldn't believe he is about to be legally mine.." Bella is wearing a white, elegant dress with a train. It's nothing too fancy because Bella is the type of character that doesn't like to attract to much attention. Edward was wearing the normal monkey suit, which apparently made him look like the sexiest man on the planet.
          This scene in the book is like any other fairytale wedding. The difference is that it is a little toned down because of Bella's issue with attention. But it has the white christmas lights that are hung all over the place and the fancy white flowers, the seat coverings, and it's all happening in Edward's humongous backyard. I loved the way Stephenie Meyer described the wedding, "...the profusion of white blossoms that hung in garlands from everything in the room that wasn't alive, dripping with long lines of white gossamer ribbons...the bowery canopy... rows of satined-draped chairs..." (pg. 48) The detail and the elaboration and the language just gives the place a magical feeling, other than the fact that she's marrying a vampire.
          All in all, Stephenie Meyer could have just written that the setting was beautiful. Instead she elaborated and used language that made it seem like the wedding that she probably dreamed of having or had. This is another reason why I love Stephenie Meyer.
