“Charlie, I realize that Ive gone about this out of order. Traditionally, I should have asked you first. I mean no disrespect, but since Bella has already said yes and I dont want to diminish her choice in the matter, instead of asking you for her hand, Im asking for your blessing. Were getting married, Charlie. I love her more than anything in the world, more than my own life, and by some miracle she loves me that way, too. Will you give us your blessing? -Edward Cullen”
