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 😀

First of all, let me say that I didn’t even notice you in the picture at first, but when I did I was like “whoa, that’s a little creepy.” But it’s okay, becuase you’re kaleb and therefore very cool in my opinion (despite any stalkerish pictures). :]
Then, about the spoiler; I think that it makes sense that the wedding takes place in the beginning because them being that much closer to her being changed can bring up a lot more issues and unrest.Like some other people who commented, I think the way Stephenie was so excited about the wedding in the interview means that the ceremony itself will go off without a hitch, but things are bound to get complicated from there on out (possibly at the reception). Afterall, this is Edward and Bella, when are things ever simple? :]
Well, when she said that she would share an spoiler I was prepared for something obvious, like “Jacob is coming back” or something like that, but I’m glad she confirmed the wedding… I was pretty convinced that it would happen, but after so many months reading people fears I was starting to have doubts too… ‘Cause we all know something bad must happen…
OME is just a matter of hours now…
I have that desease that Seth talked about for sure…
Beijos do Brasil
Great picture…
ok.. i feel really dumb but i was excited for the spolier but i was like…. “umm… i thought that was already discided…” So it wasn’t really a shocker. i mean i know that there was some chance and ppl talking about Jacob crashing it and stuff but i knew that Bella was going to go through with it even if Alice had to march her down the alie herself.
I think its going to be like Eclipse with the graduation. We’re going to be going insane waiting for it to come and then, barley a fourth or so into the book it will be here! but hopefully not as dull… 🙂
IDk what will happen in the Chapters after… i mean i have SOME idea but nothing i feel comfortable sharing.
3 days! 🙂
i think that everybody saw it coming. i mean come on.
but it is VERY nice to hear that it will be happening in the beginning of the book.
ugh.
we’re all pretty pathetic that we cant wait 3 days without losing it.
haha.
so are you going to buy breaking dawn saturday? or are you going to wait til you actually finish new moon and eclipse? lol
thanks for the post and good luck with your book. i know im going to read it when it comes out!! :]]]
I’m guessing that more is yet to come – the book is 700 pages long, so I’m sure there will be many twists and turns. I already figured they would get married, and I think it is good that they did, because now all of the hype about the wedding ring and Alica getting excited about planning it is not for nothing. It will happen, but the real question is, will it survive the rest of the book?
btw,
love the picture. :]]
#46 – wow I didn’t realize that. You’re right; Jacob has been silent when it comes to the quotes on Stephenie’s page. I wonder what that could possibly mean. He better be in the book. He adds a lot to the story.
team switzerland all the way.
The so-called “spoiler” was definitely more of a confirmation for most people. At least to me, confirming what I already knew was coming. An exciting confirmation though!
I really think that the rest of the book is going to be awesome, with Bella adjusting to vamp-life and what not. I think she will be some sort of an outrageously cool vampire with a natural defense against other vampire’s powers. I think there will be fighting sequences between the Cullens banded together with the werewolves against the Volturi. YAY so STOKED!!! 🙂
That’s a spoiler?
No offense to SM but that’s pathetic. Hahaha.
That would be like JK rowling saying “Oh yeah in the next book Harry uses magic.”
We all TOTALLY knew this was coming, it would’ve been more of a spoiler if she said it DIDN’T happen.
But still…exciting.
Sorta.
Haha.
Yes! I’m so excited I mean she confirmed the wedding which I have been stressing about for so long now. Just because even if Bella is a butt-head and doesn’t want the wedding,Edward has been waiting for the love of his life,a wedding for a long time now…As for my theories.. I have many but the quotes have kind of trumped some of them while alighting new ones so.. yeah I’m am extremely stressed and excited and it’s the worst and greatest feeling ever.
My initial theories were the wedding gets interrupted. Volturi step in somewhere. The Denali clan-confirmed- um..there was going to be some kidn of war.And hoping for Bella as a vampire.. 🙂
It was clear from the beginning that they’ll marry. She wrote twilight because she had a dream about Edward and Bella and not Jacob and Bella^^
I’m looking forward to the chat. But I wont be there until the 7th or so because BD doesn’t come out here in Germany until the 4th…
Boy, I’m surprised Edward had talked Belle into driving a new car..
The part of the book I’m REALLY excited, or at least hoping about, is with Jacob. :\
it wasn’t really shocking to me…i kinda figured those two crazy kids would tie the knot at some point in the book. i’m excited that it is at the beginning though that leaves room for adventure and maybe bella getting her wish after all
I like someone’s theory above, the one about how maybe Stephenie is pulling a JK Rowling when she talks about the wedding. I thought of that too! She never really said that they actually tie the knot! The only thing is that she’s a girlie girl when it comes to weddings and she was excited about it. So that might mean they do truly get married. But with the wedding starting off the story, in a way, I think something will happen to damper plans, don’t you think? Can people above start hating Jacob please? He’s out of the story so stop freaking out! UGH! Oh wait, Bella still cares about him, is that what bothers you? The fact that she wants to know how he is? Not trying to be rude but Bella and Edward are getting married. Why does Jacob piss you off so much?
bella can have edward, ill take jacob.
everyone wins :]
I am very happy with the spoiler. I wanted the wedding to be early on, so that there was plenty of time left for the drama that I believe is gonna happen, which I think all takes place after Bella is turned. So good news all around for me!!!!
I think that hardly counts as a spoiler. We all knew that it would happen sooner or later in the book (even if you hoped not). But that doesn’t necessarily mean that she will be turned early in the book. For all we know, Jacob could kidnap her and hold her hostage (not very probable, though). But Stephenie always has cards up her sleeve. I think that she will surprise all of us! She is a pretty amazing author, and i think she will make both Team Edward and Team Jacob happy. I myself am Team Switzerland. I hope she will make a book for the werewolves describing Jacob’s imprinting. After all, Jacob deserves somebody incredible!
Yeah, I already was pretty sure they were getting married, but it’s nice having a confirmation.
I definitely think Jacob is out of the picture. If Bella starts having doubts again I’LL punch a HUMAN on the face. She already made her choice. And she better stick with it.
I think she, Jacob, and Edward will all be friends (sort of… at least not fighting each other) and they will fight, together (werewolves and vampires) the Volturi.
I’m still not sure she’ll be turned. It would be nice, but I think Stephenie likes humanity a bit too much to do that to her heroine. Hmmm… I don’t know. We’ll see.
I just had an epiphany. I know this is not a discussion forum, but they’re all closed darn it!
Anyways, I was thinking about what I said on my previous comment, about Bella maybe not being turned.
Sooo… Stephenie said we’ll know what is Alec’s power in Breaking, Dawn. She also said it’s stronger than Jane’s power. It can’t be the power of killing a vampire with only a thought, because we know that’s not the way you kill a vamp. So, it could be a power that would make the vampire EASIER to kill. As in “des-vamp” him. Making a vampire human, so that they can kill him. Just like in ‘Hercules’.
That way, Edward somehow would become human, have babies with Bella, and she wouldn’t need to give up her life.
I know it’s a long shot, but I think it’s definitely possible. I see it happen.
Just a theory, don’t shoot me!
That wasn’t a spoiler! I already knew that. I figure most of BD is Bella coping with being a young vampire, dealing with the Volturi, Jacob, and the werewolves. Not to mention human beings… It’s going to be so fun!
i feel really bad for jacob though! i always root for the underdog…
Although I knew it was going to happen, the wedding is just much too final for me. I still was hoping Jacob would crash the wedding.
However, that would be so cliche and Stephenie Meyer is everything BUT cliche. In any case, hooray for the happy couple. It’s about time!
What does excite me is that the wedding happens so early in the book. More Jacob-goodness awaits…muahaha.
In case anyone questions my loyalty to Edward/Jacob: I am Team Edward, but support Jacob because who doesn’t love an underdog?! No pun intended.
To be honest, I’m just ready for some intense fight scenes with the Volturi…or drama between Tanya and Bella.
wooh, Kaleb, you scared me.. I thought it was going to be a huge spoiler. I was debating internally on whether I wanted to read the article, thinking it would ruin my experience with Breaking Dawn. Nope. This will enhance it! The two spoilers were things I definitely expected.
I also agree that it was more of a confirmation than a spoiler, one that I was happy to see.
To Geneveive (comment #37)- the second unnamed book is one of my biggest anticipations. My mantra has been “not Romeo and Juliet, not Romeo and Juliet”! I don’t think my poor heart could take it!
To Carla (comment #69) – smart girl! As much as I would love to see Bella and Edward for eternity, I think SM places the value of one’s soul right along with Edward. I’m as on edge as anyone as to how she’ll resolve the “impasse”. Your theory would be at least one possibility that could end with the happily ever after ending I’m looking forward to!
Sorry, but I just read Carla’s comment (comment 69), and no I don’t intend on shooting you, but I just find it a little far fetched because if that was his power I’m sure Edward would’ve already gone to him considering he would put himself through any pain to save Bella. That’s assuming that he know’s what Alec’s power is of course, but it just seems to easy of a way out to me. Haha, but I totally get where you’re coming from, for a while I was trying to find anything that alluded to a way to “de-vamp.”
Is anyone else going to cry when they get married or will that just be me? And, as much as i was confident they would get married, it’s really nice to have confirmation.
And while i do want Jacob to be happy, I’m still extatic that Bella and Edward are for sure together and he shouldn’t get in the way of their relationship. Sorry, Jake.
okay… so i practically threw my computer out the window….. lmaoo
“big” spoiler was way expected. This is what else I expect.
In the rest of the book, there will be fights and tragedy and hope and suspense….and Bella’s power (if she DOES become a vampire) will be that she isn’t bothered by blood and doesn’t try to attack any humans. I don’t know what will happen with those from Alaska or how the werewolf treaty will work out.
*sobs* None of the quotes are from Jacob. Done on purpose of course. I hope he doesn’t crash the wedding/reception/feast/party….
That is a good point. i always wondered about how Bellas reaction to blood once she is changed
How’d you get your twitter updates to show up on your website? I am having no luck.
Since everyone is putting their theories out there about BD, I’ll put out what my guy friend, who actually read all the books, thinks is going to happen. He thinks that Jacob and Bella will somehow turn out to be related, and so Bella will have werewolf blood, and that would make for a very weird vampire/werewolf if she were to turn. That would also solve the Jacob-Bella-Edward triangle, because you can’t date a relative. Anyway, that’s what my good ol’ friend Al thinks. Don’t ask me where he thought this one up. Sounds pretty out there to me but we’ll see…
I’m glad they are dealing with the wedding upfront in BD, so it’s not drawn-out. I think they will be actually married, but the Volturi/Jacob/something will disrupt the ceremony or reception. I don’t think Bella will be turned by Edward in the way she wants, but will be unexpectedly turned by another vampire attacking her, or as some type of last defense to prevent her from being attacked, or to save her after an accident, etc. I think Sam’s comment about the treaty and threat to humans might be alluding to Bella’s being a new vampire, and thus fairly uncontrollable. Maybe she’s still in the area (or returns) because she’s worried about Charlie for some reason–can’t think of why else she would be in the area as a new vampire. I definitely think the Volturi have some tricks up their sleeve, and I’m worried about the BD preface–Bella being threatened by someone she loves… maybe Alex’s power will somehow wipeout Edward’s memories of Bella and he turns on her? I know, heresy 🙂 Or maybe Jacob is threatening her after she becomes a vampire? I’m anxious to see what Bella brings to being a vampire, what with her extremely “private mind” and all.
Although it wasn’t much of a spoiler, I’m a bit embarrassed by my reaction. I kept it in, but once my best friend gets to my house, I’m going to tackle her and FORCE her to read it! And despite the recent surgery, I WILL be screaming like a mad woman. I will admit that I fell out of my chair when I saw a commercial for The Host, and according to multiple people, they never saw such a commercial and I’m just going insane. I literally jumped on my butt in my chair, the chair tilted, and down I went. My nephew had quite the laugh at that!
My theory for Breaking Dawn? I’ve tried to avoid that! I try not to think about there being only being a few days before the release date. I’m flipping out already. My theory, though, is that the Volturi certainly is NOT going to give up on making Edward, Alice, and Bella a part of them. I’m sure they’re going to come into play in BD.
By the way, Kaleb, I didn’t see you in the background of the picture until I was about to minimize the thing, so it scared the living crap out of me! Jeez, you don’t do that type of thing to someone that’s hyped up over Twilight! lol 🙂
I dunno..I wouldn’t give up on Jacob just yet. It’s an 800 page book. Anything can happen. All I can say with certinty is that its going to be good.
The “spoiler” was kind of a let down for me. I was more hoping that it would be something INSANE. Something everyone didn’t already know. Like how Edward leaves Bella at the alter for me…. Just saying.
I think it was a great spoiler, because in my opinion it wasn’t a surprise at all, and doesn’t ruin the story. For those of you that still think Jacob has a chance, I kind of think y’all need to let it go. 🙂 The whole point of Eclipse was that she has made a decision. Also, don’t you think it would be really annoying to have another entire book dedicated to that same love triangle? As for BD, I really, really don’t think that there will be a wedding, but no marriage. I also don’t think that the Volturi are going to crash the wedding, because I think that Stephenie wants them to have this perfect moment, because they don’t get many of those. I also definitely don’t think that Jacob will crash the wedding. While he is upset over the whole thing, he’s not that rude or stupid.
OK, I’m done. 🙂
it was an alright spoiler, it was pretty much the same as her saying “bella and edward will end up together!” which we’ve known since twilight… but what caught my eye was how early it is which means that theres some other mythical creature on the way who wants off with bella’s head! im thinking unicorns 😀
im not happy its in the beginning, because it probably means things are going to get screwed up. ughhhh
and if they dont end up togetehr im seriously going to DIE
Just because there will be a wedding does not mean that it will end in a marriage. I think this “spoiler” was too obvious and there is probably far more to it. Especially since it happens early in the book.
I’ve been looking foward to the wedding since Twilight!
I just really REALLY hope that one of the twists later in the book isn’t them breaking up or something similar (Stephenie wouldn’t be that cruel, would she?)
But the fact that it happens early in the book makes me nervous- too many pages left for something to go wrong!
Also it specifically says “wedding” NOT “marraige”, I suspect that isn’t a coincidence. My theory is that a certain group of foreign vampires (the fans know who I’m talking about) will arrive and cause some trouble…
i was all worried about the spoiler SM was talking about. at first i wasnt gonna look at it. then i decided to go look, cuz lots of ppl said that we knew it was gonna happen anyways. so im like ok. lol and the wedding we know was gonna happen anyways by reading the first chapter of BD so. yeah but u all are dissapointed with the spoiler SM gave, im not tho. im glad she said only that. she had said many times that she wants us to experiance BD and live it just like bella does. and we are, cuz we know just as much in her life as she does now. if u all know what i mean. lol she knows she is gonna get married and so do we.
oh and kaleb u hidding behind SM in the pic is awsome! i didnt see it till i looked at it after reading the post! lol it made my day!
4 DAYS!!!! ONLY 4 DAYS!!!! And yeah, I think the only reason she told us was because it wasn’t much of a spoiler.
Kaleb, that picture is hilarious.
I totally called what the “spoiler” was going to be…but it’s good to know that Bella doesn’t end up like everyone who’s ever tried to get married on TV.
And Kaleb, I’m upset. You were at Stephenie’s photo shoot and didn’t get her autograph? Tsk, tsk 😉
to #69, Carla,
SM said that Jane’s power isn’t to kill vampires with her mind, but to create the thought of pain within their mind. So the mind thinks its in pain and tortures itself, but its not actually in pain.
As for Alec, i don’t think he can do that. Besides, he’s with the “bad guys”. If he’s with the Volturi (who want Bella to be dead or vamp) then why would he turn Edward into a human???
Yeah, I never doubted that it wouldn’t happen. In fact, it never OCCURED to me that it wouldn’t happen.
Ohhhh nooo no no no. There’s alot of damn pages to fill up. Aw crap. But I’m really excited for this book….seriously.
I know you probably hear it a lot but I love hearing your take on the books. Also, this whole bit about the wedding in the begining of the book has me REALLY nervous. That’s a lot of pages for a lot of things to go wrong… Scary. I don’t like it at all. Hope you don’t mind my incessant babbling.
I thought the same thing as Sarah number 95. I mean come on, we all kinda knew that the wedding was going to be in the book…. right? Well i did, but still i never would have thought that stephenie could be that mean and torturious (is that even a word? idk). We just didn’t know when it would happen. Oh and i didn’t even notice that you were in the picture until i had read some of the comments mentioning it. You know what? Some people try too hard to be funny and it ends up just being a little (just a little) awkward, Ya know? But you aren’t like that kaleb. Thanx for all the great posts. P.S. I probably check your site a little more than necessary…. okay i wasn’t trying to be creepy or anything.
I had a feeling that SM’s breaking news is about that “grand event”. I’m surprised that she planned it after Twilight but I guess it make sense for it to happen in the fourth book. I can’t wait for BD:)
