I know you have all probably read it already, or are still covering your ears because you don’t want to hear anything spoilerish, but Stephenie just released a Big Breaking Dawn Spoiler to Entertainment Weekly. You can read all about it over here.
I want to know what you think of this. As we all know, it is best to look at this spoiler with suspicious eyes: after all, it was also revealed that the Grand Event happens at the beginning of the book, and that obviously means that there are a whole lot of pages ahead for things to happen.
Because of the tight comment moderation I have on the site for anti-BD-spoilers from renegade book-pirates, some of your theories as to what this means might be held, but I will approve them quickly except during the hours I am asleep 😀 . Are you happy that this is the way it will turn out? Or do you suspect that something dire will come of this, or that there is a deeper, more hidden meaning?
Don’t worry about spoiling me with your theories because I’ll hear them anyway soon, and also no one knows what’s in Breaking Dawn yet, so I don’t know which is right or wrong, same as everyone else.
— NOTE: Apologies for a short post, I’m insanely busy on my novel revisions before my deadline. But, I’ve been trying Twitter for the first time…
Also, so you know, I have decided to start the chat. I will have more info on this soon, but I will probably launch it on August 3 or 4, as I’m sure no one would be there on August 2 anyway due to More Important Matters at hand 😀

Hmm, not really a spoiler in my book. Kinda figured it was going to happen. Although knowing it happens earlier in the book does make me excited. YAY it isn’t the big ending! 😀
— “More important matters at hand.” Wow. For some reason that (complete) understatement at the very end made me laugh a lot. And for the record, I am extremely happy with the spoiler. >.<
More important matters indeed. I can’t wait for the 2nd! Oh, and I am verrrrryyyyy happy about the spoiler, but it never really occured to me that it might not happen. Eh.
Ohh, wow. I just noticed that in the pic of Stephenie Meyer….. umm, theres an edit… lol. Quite random…..
i kinda saw it coming, but i agree that there are MANY pages for more to happen.
Kinda creepy too…. *shudders* lol. Just joking, Kaleb.
So the wedding is at the beginning. I’m kind of scared about the rest of the book. It’s so close… Yet so far.
I think I just gut-bust laughing seeing that picture.
I’m kind of nervous about the wedding being so early. It means more time for things to screw up at the middle and end.
I don’t get how it’s a spoiler after the first chapter being released in the new version of eclipse. I knew it would happen, especially after the events of Eclipse.
I think SOMETHING dire has to happen, or else it just wouldn’t be a stephenie meyer book. nothing goes completely right from beginning to end, and that’s that. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but if you’ve been reading her quote of the day on her website, I think it might have something to do with a conflict between vampires and the werewolves (go figure, eh?).
HEY KALEB your not done with New Moon or Eclipse!!!! Your not supposed to know that they are getting married! How do you explain yourself? =] You have to keep reading, then find out spoilers for the 4th book!!! =]
I CANNOT WAIT…4 days until BD!!!!!
I think the wedding will go as planned. I’m looking forward to enjoying it, too.
It doesn’t seem at all like a spoiler to me. I was actually dissapointed. That was like saying, “In the fourth book there will be vampires and werewolves.” Um, we already knew that!!! So yeah, the “spoiler” dissapointed me.
It was hardly a spoiler guys 😛
Please, we all knew they were going to get married…
I figured it would happen. I knew it the moment after New Moon, and all through eclipse. There was no way it wouldn’t.
But adventures are sure to ensue! I CANNOT wait!!!
It wasn’t really a shocker to me that they get married. We all knew it was going to happen sometime or other. Can’t wait for BD!!!
By the way funny picture Kaleb.
yeah. wasnt really surprised about it, but totally happy about it anyway.
and i hope nothing dire will come of it.
love the picture. 🙂
yes, I agree–not really a spoiler, since everyone expects it. my sisters (4 of the 6 girls in my family have now read the books!) are still confident that Jake will show up and stop the wedding, but I just don’t see that happening….Kaleb, you are supposed to be thinking that Edward has left and is never coming back–aren’t you a little disappointed by knowing this much info beforehand? p.s. loved your SM stalker pic–too funny!
I really love the spoiler, but the quotes from the past couple of days really have me worried. Something bads gonna happen. Panic time. *starts to panic*
It wasnt really much of a spoiler coz we knew it was happening and when…
so meh.
good to get something new to read though =D
eggg im so annoyed….breaking dawn is coming out on august the 4th here in australia…and the spoiler was sorta disapointing…not that i was really surprised that the spoiler wouldnt have any good info…… btw kaleb: do u realize that there’s some random weird guy behind stephenie meyer in that picture???
Wow, people are really disappointed. I think that wedding will go smooth. Or at least I hope (fingers crossed.) I agree with comment 19; I really think that based on the BD Quotes ( MOSTLY TODAYS!!! * bites nails*) there will be some big drama after the wedding. Plus I think that SM loves Bella and Edward too much to let Jacob hurt their moment… and himself. Although… What lengths do you think Jacob would go to, to give himself and Bella one more chance??? I’m team switzerland so… I feel for Jacob. :@
here’s the thing, harry potter has got me very analytical of the word choice in these interviews. while stephenie says she wrote a wedding scene, it doesn’t mean they actually get married. she chose her words carefully. just like when jo said she wrote a harry death scene, but he didn’t really die. or maybe i’m reading too much into it and the wedding goes off without a hitch.
whoa late posts
who whould have thunk it
people up at this late hour
wait im up to how ironic
but by the way i love you site and check it like everyday keep the posts coming
I was pretty happy with the info Stephenie released. I can sleep a little easier now, haha.
More Important Matters indeed. I’ll probably be up till about 4 am Saturday morning reading it. And then I’ll sleep for a few hours, wake up, and read it again.
Oh, and that picture makes you look like a creeper. Like ivy. Or kudzu. Bwahaha. =P
I am so glad that was cleared up, even though I always knew the wedding would really happen. There really are A LOT of pages to fill up afterwards, though… Now I’m more excited than ever for Breaking Dawn to come out! I am so glad that it’s only a few days away! SQUEE!!!
I AM NOT READING IT!!!!
Not that much of a spoiler… I had a little worry that someone might come and interrupt the ceremony, but overall I think Bella will get what she want (you’know, except for being turned into a vampire) in this book, and I guess think SM wouldn’t let them be togheter unless they weren’t married
for Nicole
I too getted a little of a fixiation because of Harry Potter about looking for hints and hidden clues in books but then I realized SM is not like JKR for that… one for all, after reading Twilight I thought all of those Bella’s strange characteristics meant she had some vampire blood in her – then it turns out SM’s vampires have no blood at all 😀
Yea!!!!! Now I won’t be so on edge until Saturday! By the way, I LOVE what you do with your pictures, Kaleb. Very creative!
Bella’s stubborn and Edward was the one who wanted to get married in the first place…It’s kind of predictable when you put it that way. But I think the real question is: Does Bella turn into a vampire or not?
I just laughed until my ears bled seeing that picture of Stephenie and Kaleb. Just when I thought you couldn’t outdo yourself anymore, Kaleb !
Well, I’m not surprised. As said before, I don’t really see it as a spoiler. How could Stephenie not choose that path to unwind ? But I do think it’ll be a very Bill-and-Fleur-esque Deathly Hallows wedding. The ceremony will be fine, the reception will be crashed by persons unknown…
hahahha. funny picture.
and hell yeah i love the spoiler 😀
Team Edward Forever 🙂
I was also disappointed with the spoiler. I just assumed that they would, in fact, get married and that drama would come later. I sorta figured the drama would have more to do with her being changed. . . or not. 🙂
the spoiler wasnt amazing, but at least the doubt in my mind that something went wrong……only at the wedding of course…..is better
*love the creepy stalker pic Kaleb!
I’m with Heather, on both counts. 😀
I have theories upon theories upon theories about Breaking Dawn… but (AAAHHHHH!!!) I’m not going to voice them here. *fidgets mightily*
The spoiler is that there is, in fact, a wedding. She didn’t say “marriage.” And since Breaking Dawn will be like the other three, well, there are just too many classic novels to base the story on where the wedding in interrupted. Jane Eyre, Lorna Doone, etc etc. And since Stephenie hasn’t told us what the other book in addition to A Midsummer Night’s Dream is, I’m going to wait before jumping up and down
That wasn’t much of a surprise to me.
It just makes me wonder how many more things can happen from that point on..
My guess.. somebody’s love is gonna be put to the test.
who’s? *shrug*
yay!!!!! in ur face team jacob!!!!!!!
team edward shall prevail!!!!!!!
i told all the team js i could talk to that they better not get thier feelins hurt when they realized that BELLA WILL ALWAYS LOVE EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!
ps- i hope that bratty teenage werewolf dosent crash the wedding!….
Oh. Darn. 😛
I knew that they were going to get married; you could tell from the sneak peak at chapter one that was released. She was wearing the ring, she accepted the new car, the list goes on.
I also came to the conclusion that Jacob Black is officially out of the picture, based on the last couple lines of the Eclipse epilogue. In it, Jacob contemplates leaving his human side away forever and staying a wolf for a while, like Taka Ahi in the story of the Third Wife. The last line of Eclipse reads (something along these lines) And I pushed forward, leaving Jacob Black behind me.
My guess is that Jacob is either permanetly gone from the series, or he comes back. He got an invitation from Edward himself, so he may go to the wedding and bid Bella a final farewell. He may also come back to try and kill Edward for breaking the treaty, even if the Cullens flee Forks.
Any thoughts? :]
the wedding was gonna happen. i was kind of disappointed that she didn’t tell us something new.. but then again, she said that it was the only thing that she was comfortable with us knowing beforehand. Probably cuz we already kno that much…
omg. what if the Volturi crash the wedding??!?!?!?!?!?!?
I don’t think the Volturi will crash the wedding. My vote is that they’re a big problem for later on in the book.
I totally agree with everything that’s being said. It’s like I told my mom, ultimately I think (well, now I *know*) they’re going to have the wedding, but I don’t think it will go off without a hitch. However, after reading after what Stephenie said in that spoiler article, I’m leaning towards what Victoria (#31) said; the wedding will go fine, but the reception will be crashed.
I am very comforted to know that the wedding takes place in the beginning of the book, though. I was *realllllllly* worried for a while it was (or Bella being bitten) was going to be on the last page. I think I would have died if that happened. Also, I think that Sam quote from a few days ago (“This is not something our treaty anticipated. This is a danger to every human in the area”) probably refers to Bella being turned into a vampire willingly. *fingers crossed*!
Can’t wait to finally hear details from the wedding of the century! (<haha)
I think that Jacob will come to the wedding…atleast I hope he does…I am team edward all the way, but I think there should be some type of closure for Jacob and Bella. If he doesn’t come back I think I’ll be a little sad.
I agree with Sal, I think the Volturi are going to be a problem later…
I can’t wait to find out!
I wonder why so far, we have quotes from every Cullen besides Carlisle and Esme….
and no Jacob quotes…..interesting.
or maybe she’s saving his for last because she know’s we’ll all be salivating by then. lol.
TEAM SWITZERLAND.
I agree with Stephanie (comment #30)- Although I’m glad that Edward and Bella get married, I think the rest of the book will focus on the Volturi and whether Bella will become a vampire.
This makes me insanely happy. I read it yesterday and I got really excited. I mean, as my friend said, ‘Why would anyone like Jacob more than Edward anyways?’ :]
oh, and don’t think I didnt see you lurking behind Stephenie…
Corinne!
Needless to say I squealed (much to my husband’s ear’s displeasure). But am very excited that the wedding is at the beginning because that leaves so much ambiguity to what can happen next.
awesome picture… i bet the queen is flattered by your sneaky peeky spying 🙂
No comment about the spoiler from Stephenie. Some will like that sort of thing, others will want to wait for the whole book anyhow.
But, I must comment about the photo with your blog. Um. I was thinking, “that is odd. shouldn’t there be a pic of Kaleb?” Then I spotted you, peeking over Stephenie’s shoulder. EXCELLENT spy work there!
