The song for this chapter is (The Symphony Of) Blase’ by Anberlin
[audio:https://twilightguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/amsterdam.mp3]
And so they are wed: Edward and Bella are together at last, as we always knew they would end up. This wedding is magnificently organized by Alice, and just imagining it causes me to immediately remember this film:
Except, instead of Steve Martin, Charlie Swan; and instead of humans, a strange assortment of very nervous looking vampires and werewolves. What a wedding to remember!
Then, Jacob Black appears. I don’t understand. I really do not understand at all. I am completely baffled and perplexed. At what point does it become appropriate for an old boyfriend to come to his ex-girlfriend’s wedding, and then take her for his own private dance whilst kissing her hair the moment the groom (currently her husband) disappears? Where does this equate to Jacob being respectful to Edward and his wife — of all days, on the very evening they were wed? This, in my opinion, is but a less severe example of a groom who sleeps with one of the bridesmaids (I’ve once lived in an old Texas hicktown: this does happen 😀 ).
Now, understand that it would have been fine for Jacob to show up at the wedding. If I was Edward, I don’t think I would have any trouble with some of my new wife’s old guy friends making an appearance (on the grounds they are appearing just so that I can make them feel incredibly jealous 😀 ). But Jacob isn’t happy with just being there to wish his friend well. This is perhaps one of the most frustrating things I have read so far. Who does Jacob think he is?
People are going to ask me why I am jumping so harshly upon Jacob Black, especially when I have tried so hard through writing my posts to understand him and to not choose any side. But this is because, as of this chapter, there are no Teams anymore. How can I be Team Jacob, if Team Edward won? It isn’t really a question of who would be better for her, since it is done. To be Switzerland at this point, in my opinion, would be to hang on to the hope that Bella will leave her husband in order to be with her ex-boyfriend. This is Twilight, not some daytime drama.
Still, as usual, it is easy to be against Jacob without looking at things from his point of view. Completely disregarding all courtesy and respect for Edward and Bella, what sort of horrible heartbreak must Jacob be going through right now? This poor guy has tried everything he can to convince Bella she is making a mistake, and even then he can’t give up, when his chance is gone and there is really no more reason to fight for her. I can’t even imagine if I was Jacob Black at that wedding, dancing with the girl I loved more than anything else in the world, and knowing that it is perhaps the last time I’d ever get to, since after that she is someone elses. I know that Jacob probably wishes that time would stop then, because he never wants to leave that last moment.
This type of thing can tear someone apart wondering what might have been if Bella had chosen to remain a human with Jacob. Setting aside all the questions of who is good for Bella, and who shouldn’t have come to the wedding, and all the Teams and Switzerlands: this marriage is going to be hard on everyone. Werewolves and vampires have entirely new treaties to deal with, Jacob must find someone new, and now Edward and Bella must deal with their new life together: and, Bella’s new life as a vampire. Things would have been far simpler had she not fallen in love with Edward. But, things might not have had such a happy ending.
I feel there is a good resolution, however, to Jacob’s feelings for Bella, and that Jacob finally owns up to what he must do:
“Are you happy, Bella?” (Jacob said.)
“Yes.”
“Okay.” I felt his shoulders shrug. “That’s the main thing, I guess […] I’m just here to be your friend. Your best friend, one last time.”
Those final words are the reason I chose the song for this chapter: in a way, I think Jacob feels this could be his last goodbye to Bella, or at least the last time he will really get to hold her. After this day, she is all Edward’s. My respect for Jacob, who might finally be maturing, has grown considerably: and even with my criticisms of his choices, I still feel very bad for him as he is dragged away from Bella, once again with a broken heart.
So I shall throw my imaginary bag of rice in the direction of Bella and Edward, bid them best wishes on their honeymoon, and hope that all will soon be well with the broken-hearted Jacob: from whom I doubt I have heard the last.
Question For The Comments: Do you think that Jacob Black went too far at Bella’s wedding? Also, do you think he deserves to feel the way he does now, for hanging on to a girl who wasn’t his: or was it noble for him to try to change her mind up to the last day?
—–NOTES——
– There is something very special happening tomorrow. Guess in the comments (it is different from my book stuff going on). For long-time readers of my blog, this should be easy. Just sayin, if you like cool contests, you’ll want to be here tomorrow 😛
– If you enjoy my music, I just uploaded a preview of a new song I’m working on that is quite differet from the others, and I’d love opinions on it.

I toally agree..except for the Team Edward part. The view you have is basically the view of all my fellow Team Jacob members. We believe that Bella is the main problem in this whole series. She has a hard time growing up and getting over the past and this is what makes Jacob keep fighting. He knows he still has a chance because Bella still has feelings for him.
Technically, Jacob was invited to the wedding by Edward (at the end of Eclipse) b/c Edward knew how important it was for Bella to have Jacob there. Plus, Bella says that that was Edward's gift for her, to have Jacob there and to dance with him. Jacob might've gone too far with telling her certain things about her husband, but then again, he is her best friend. And I have to agree, he does grow up a bit and telling her that all that matters is that she is happy.
Jacob, nor anyone, deserves to feel the way he does. If I were him, I do not know if I would've been able to go to the person I love the most's wedding. How could I see that person with somebody else, no matter what we've been through? He does need to let her go and understand that she is no longer his, at least in the way that he wants her to be. I also think that it was a bit pointless for him to try to change Bella's mind after she's married to Edward since she has made that choice to be with Edward and not Jacob. At least, that's what I think.
Kaleb, can't wait to hear what you have to say about the honeymoon!
Kaleb, I have written some insightful things in a comment 3 times and they have all gotten deleted. Forks is extremely boring, so I have written it at 3 different times of the day…all deleted. Is it because my comment was too long?

I really think the main reason Jacob went to the wedding, is because he (and Edward!) knew that Bella would want him to. She didn't want to hurt him, but she clearly says that her “best man” was missing. Jacob felt that, and even though it would break his heart more to be there, he went.
Now, when he got there he had good intentions of just being there as Bella's best friend. Of course he still had his love for her, and had a hard time not letting that show through (his kissing her on the head was a little inappropriate considering his love for her, but you would kiss your best friend on the top of her head at her wedding wouldn't you Kaleb?). However, his main thing was to make her happy.
He asked her about the honeymoon, because he wanted to know if that's when Edward was going to turn her. It was just eating him up thinking about that. He really shouldn't have asked for all concerned, but he couldn't help himself. He was glad that Bella said it wasn't time yet.
So naturally, he wonders what is the point of the honeymoon, if them being together would kill Bella (since everything he has heard and everyone else has heard is that it would!). When he hears that they are going to try to consumate their marriage while Bella is still human, it just makes him go ballistic. He truly thinks that this is Bella's DEATH SENTENCE! He really believes that there is no way that Edward can be with her without killing her. This is obvious, because all he is waiting for later is to hear that Bella is dead or that Edward already turned her. He sees NO OTHER OPTION.
We have the foresight to know that those two things are not what happens, Jacob does not. We need to try to see things from Jake's true perspective and not see some ugly alterior motive for him. He realizes that Bella is Edward's and he is not trying to win her back. He just doesn't want her to die! He is even starting to be willing for her to become a vampire, as long as Edward doesn't kill her.
You are right, Kaleb. This not the last we'll see of Jacob Black. He is meant to be in Bella's life in one way or another…
I think it was good of him to try to be her friend when that's all she wanted from him. And he did try. Because, how hurtful would it be to have your best friend NOT come to your wedding? Feelings in the love department aside, he did try to give her that much, which was big of him. Although… but I will not spoil you on this. 😀
Hi Nora, sorry about that! For some reason, the new comment system thought you were spam. Now, it shouldn't ever happen again. I've also restored a bunch of other people's comments that had disappeared too 🙂
–Kaleb
Having completed the book I will say, you have judged Jacob too harshly… (completed readers like myself must agree)
But I will give you this, that took a lot of brass to do what Jake did and it was perhaps the inappropriate thing to do at the given circumstance.
Edward however was always the wary of the ongoings so in essence the kiss really does prove truly harmless.
I can not wait until you finish the book, I have all my friends totally riveted and eager to see the progression of this sordid love triangle, and I know you must be curious too.
I can kinda understand Jacob, only because I have the ability to try on other people's shoes (being metaphorical here folks). However, there was a proper time to throw in the towel and not be a selfish douche. What i hate is that he's so certain that Bella will not be Bella anymore. He thinks they'll instantly hate each other, they have no choice. It's so stupid. STUPID JACOB!!!
ditto.
and gg is the best show out, kaleb — just dont EVER cover penn's head again, k?
Well I am no Team Jacob or Switzerland citizen so I never particularly cared for Jacob after Edward came back….I am so not understanding why Jacob was there. I mean yes this is fiction and you can do what you want, but I feel his presence ruined the entire wedding for me….and apparently for Edward and Bella for a short while.
Ever since Eclipse I had a love hate relationship with Bella. She completely pissed me off with all that Jacob has to be happy shit and it was very annoying, and the reason why he was so annoying all stemmed from her! Bella refused to let Jacob go early on which caused him to cling on as well. Which is so typically Bella anyway because she is so friggin needy and clingy, which a find unattractive in a woman. Anyhow if it werent for Bella her and Jacob would have never been messed up, she always said with her mouth they were just friends but her actions showed him something completely different, also her insistance on being in his life to make him “happy” made it worst. In the real world..your ex is what an ex should be, a thing of the past, you dont invite the ex to the wedding nor does the ex crash! Bestfriends that are in love with you fall right in the category. I think Jacob should have stayed away.
However he came. Although his kiss on her forehead was inappropriate everything was fine until Bella opened her big mouth! As usual she was overreacting to something someone said and then inserted her foot in her mouth ruining everything. It doesnt surprise me that Jacon reacted as such and yes I mean he doesnt have a right to because well its her marital duty to satisfy her husband, however, in this case her safety came into play and he understood that obviously because Bella never does. So maybe it would have been best if Jacob stayed wondering around like a lost dog in the wilderness in Canada rather than come and cause an upset at Bella's wedding. I suppose being a true masochist where Isabella Swan is concerned her just couldnt help himself. It never ends with him.
Team Switzerland doesn't just mean Team Jacob/ Team Edward and who is better for Bella…..nooo it also can mean (and does mean in my POV) that the Team Switzerland members LOVE both Edward and Jacob no matter who she ends up with or who is better for her!
-“Who's to say that Bella wasn't going to cheat with Jacob on her wedding night?”
Um. The fact that Bella is a moral, decent person?
Losing a potential mate to marriage with someone else isn't like losing a championship game. It's not *wrong* to come back next season and try to win the next championship; in most societies, breaking marriage vows is considered morally abhorrent. Granted, those situations seem to becoming more and more prevalent in our current society, but wide occurrance doesn't make it either right or acceptable. Why on earth would someone bother to make marriage vows they either can't or won't keep? Bella would never make such a committment (which, with the way she was raised by Renee, has nearly a life-and-death significance of its own) if she wasn't going to absolutely and entirely keep to her vows. Otherwise, there would be no point in *making* them.
Jajajaja, when I saw the video I start laughing, because i imagine the wedding something like that.
I got excited when Jacob appears in the wedding, and he is trying to keep things easy for her, making the gesture of his friendship as a gift on her day, he dance with her, kisses in her hair, asking her if she was happy, it was a nice gesture coming to the reception because Bella was a little sad cause her happiness wasn’t complete, she misses Jacob, way to much I think.
But then I got really mad when he stars asking her questions that are really personal and involves her relationship with Edward as husband and wife. At first he is a little comfortable talking about her conversion as a Vampire, but then he has to talk about the honeymoon, and all ends up in a complete disaster (and that was Bella’s fault too, I’m sorry girls , but it’s true). In the moment when he grabs her roughly and begins to argue with her about it, I whish that someone came and stop that, I felt that so disrespectful, thinking that he didn’t should done that, it wasn’t his business, what she was going to do with her new life.
Because of him losing control of his emotions, he almost starts a fight between Vampires and Werewolves. But we all know that he is Jacob, and that’s the way he acts always even then, he cares about Bella happiness and safety. But he overreacts with that. I know it’s hard to let things go, and he’s making it so much harder for him. Some times I think Jacob is masochist, don’t you think Kaleb???.
And you will see that things change a lot in the next chapters, can't wait…
Jajajaja, this is the largest comment I've done so far…
Very nicely written out, Kaleb, and seeing all sides, even though all of them are getting equally mixed. Frankly, after being all 'le sigh' over the moment -finally- arriving, and how fun it was to picture the relations between all the family members there and hope things will now be okay, yeah, some of that irritation I had in Eclipse at our main trio emotionally wrangling each other surfaced again. I mean… come on, how much are they going to keep….dang… -stepping- on each other!!! I look forward to reading your musings on how this plays out, because this book is the only one in which I wish we had been left with our 'happy ending', and not start getting ticked off at certain characters again….. ;P
And what's this about a surprise? Has it actually been a year for this site? All this, plus a following, and benefits, and a -book-??? Wow…. we get a treat, right? Oh please oh please I'd love to win a treat!!!!!! ;D
Jacob just takes advantage of Bella allowing it all. I think the happily newly married woman should be the one to stand up and say something and not allow him to kiss her hair and what not.
Yeah, that made me mad, too. I was like, JACOB! COULD YOU HAVE NOT JUST APPEARED AT THE WEDDING AS A GUEST LIKE A NORMAL PERSON? OH RIGHT, YOU COULDN'T, BECAUSE YOU'RE JACOB AND YOU MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT! Of course, it was past midnight and I had been excessively hyper the entire night waiting for Breaking Dawn, so that could've been a bit over dramatic *blush*
But I think he shouldn't have tried, once again, to change her mind. Your outburst does surprise me a bit. I think Jacob's appearance at the wedding wasn't nearly as bad as him saying he was going to kill himself if Bella didn't kiss him in Eclipse. I was grateful that Jacob accepted her happiness, or at least pretended to, because I felt like he had matured slightly. And Bella had, also. She actually let herself enjoy the wedding, and then locked her Jacob drawer tightly so as to completely devote the night to Edward, since this was for him.
By the end of this book, you'll see that the Teams are pretty much dissolved. Like you said, it's very hard to be on Team Jacob or even Switzerland once she is married. I don't think anyone cared about Teams during Breaking Dawn…all the uproar (the completely uncalled for uproar that was super dramatic and frightening that made poor Stephenie crawl into a hole for a while) surrounding this book after the midnight release had nothing to do with Teams.
Now for the something very special happening tomorrow…are you FINALLY giving away Robert Pattinson? I think I did hear a crazy slow news week rumor that Rob had been kidnapped from the New Moon set…was that YOU Kaleb?!
I think that Jacob went way too far. He has frustrated me so much through all of the books. You do not mess with someone's heart when they are in love with another person. I know that Jacob needed to tell Bella how he felt about her, but he has no right to make her feel bad about being with Edward. Bella and Edward are soulmates and he needs to get over it. …..ughhh!!! I just can't even start to explain how mad I was at Jacob when he kissed her hair. That's EDWARD's job!!! lol
And I hope the surprise is a blogtv!!!! that would be amazing. 🙂
I think he went a little too far with it… I mean, I think it's nice that he wanted to be her “best friend for one last time”, but I don't think he should try to convince her out of this now…
🙁 I won't be here tomorrow.
short & simple. he went too far at the wed. plus guys dont like to lose, they will just keep trying so its natural for him to do that but he shouldnt have – its her WEDDING
OK – totally off topics, but The Lex had a link to a Normal Mormon Husband blog where he thought he figured out why women love Edward so much. He gave his theory then gave five examples to back it up. They were hilarious, but I kept thinking: What would Kaleb do with this? Inquiring minds want to know. I'd love to see your comments on it.
Jacob definately went to far. I mean it's their wedding. one of the happiest moments of ther lives. and here comes jacob black to mess things up. I mean get over it, she chose edward over you so many times. In new moon she chose to go to italy and find edward rather than to stay with jacob. in eclipse she chose to be with edward and now she decided to commit herself to one person for the rest of her exsistence and jacob still thinks he has a chance? It was good that he didn't give up on her so easily but now it's kinda pathetic and needless to say disrespectful.
and i have no idea what the suprie is but can't wait to find out.
yes. jacob went just a tadd to far. but ive already read breaking dawn so i know things you wouldn't. i wont spoil anything, but jacobs atemt at imprinting was far to hilarous to not mention, imagain a tall, muscular man staring at you as you walk in the park….. creepy but you gotta love for if we dont who will? 🙂
Considering that the real relationship between Bella and Jacob is more brother and sister then anything else, I didn't consider it inappropriate for him to be there. I probably have a different view of this considering that my own exhusband and I are still really good friends and can tease each other about goofy stuff all the time. Would I ever go back to him? Not a chance, but he's my children's father, he was an important part of my life and he's still a member of the family. We care about each other but its not sexual in any way, shape, or form. To understand Jacob and Bella is to realize that deep love is not always boyfriend and girlfreind, sexual, husband and wife, etc. Real love, in all its forms is touched quite deeply in all the relationships of Twilight. We don't get that too much in our popular media which pushes selfish, short term relationships. Edward knows and understands. He knows that the love Bella has for Jacob is not in competition with the love Bella has for Him. He also understands enough to want Bella to be happy knowing that her best friend approves, in some way at least, that she is getting married. I also think that Edward wants Jacob to be at peace with her choice. Edward respects Jacob, even if Jacob doesn't really return the favor.
I was just passing by, I didn't expect the next post to come so fast. .>.<
and to have to many comments already…
You make a point I so firmly agree upon: “At what point does it become appropriate for an old boyfriend to come to his ex-girlfriend’s wedding, and then take her for his own private dance whilst kissing her hair the moment the groom (currently her husband) disappears? “
Yeah, I don't understand too.
For your question:
Do you think that Jacob Black went too far at Bella’s wedding? Also, do you think he deserves to feel the way he does now, for hanging on to a girl who wasn’t his: or was it noble for him to try to change her mind up to the last day?
I don't really want Jacob to be in the wedding, but putting all feeling of antagonism aside, I don't think it's wrong for him to there or that he doesn't deserve it. After all, he and Bella are friends now, and he just wanted to hold her one last time. You see.. Jacob tries. It's an annoying fact of Twilight, but he does. Bella was never really his, but in New Moon, he took care of her broken heart, he was there for her.
I think for that reason, he at least deserves to be there in her wedding.
And he loves her.. I'm not saying I liked that he danced with her, etc. etc. but there are some things (how irritating that may be) that happen because of how a certain character thinks or acts, and in Jacob's case, it is that he loves her. It's still painful to lose someone, and think that the person you want may never be in your reach again… Also the fact that he knows Bella is turning to a vampire, and he doesn't want that…
i see what you mean about Jacob
personally, I think he went a little to far, i mean, Bellas MARRIED
but can't blame him for wanting a dance 😉
lol
one of my fav entries so far
gossipgirl & breaking dawn <3<3<3 my two fav things XD
keep 'em comin!!
Dammit. I keep forgetting to check. Sigh. Ah well.
Well, being not only Team Edward, but also Team Vampire, I've always thought Jacob was stupid for trying to force Bella into loving him. Maybe the Team Jacobs just like pushy, forceful boyfriends who have that weird way of making you think they're going to turn out to be abusive. *shrugs* That aside, I don't really care that he came to the wedding. Edward won. I was actually happy that he came. Nothing lowers your hopes like seeing your crush wearing white. 😀
I like Jacob, I think he's really funny and I think that what he did at Bella's wedding was apprpriate. Bella and Jacob have a complicated relationship and don't know what to do about it. They are best friends but will soon become enemies. How do you say goodbye to someone that you love, that you might hate in a couple of days? Jacob tryies to stay calm while at the wedding and behave himself but then he finds out about Bella's honeymoon plans and loses control. The fact that Bella told Jacob her honeymoon plans still bothers me, but I think that the way Jacob handle's this information is appropriate, too.
Also, I do not think that he deserves to feel the way he does now. All he wants is to be with Bella and now, not only did he lose Bella to Edward but, she will also be turned into one of his enemies. Poor Jacob : (
I completely agree with you. You took the words from my mind. I don't understand why almost no one sees things like you and me when we're absolutely right! Everyone wants Jacob to be the bad guy!!! It's just frustrating!!!
Before I say what I'm about to say, I want to say that I'm all for Edward and Bella. Not that I have anything against Jacob, but he just doesn't belong with Bella (and to be honest, I really hated him before this book). Anyhoo…I do think it was noble of Jacob to try fighting for Bella up until the last day. He shows that he really, truly loves her and a lot of men today wouldn't do that. It is pointless, of course, because Bella and Edward are so obviously perfect for each other, but at least Jacob tried. Sometimes he went a little far in trying to convince her (for example, the kissing scene in Eclipse that made me so mad I just wanted to smack him), and he should have had more respect, but he realizes his mistakes now, and he has matured.
Oh yeah, and I also don't like that Jacob was being so…friendly with Bella at her wedding. Shame shame 😉
And Edward let her go! Alone! I was surprised with him. Oh well, I guess he figures Bella loves him enough and isn't stupid enough to do anything at their wedding. Hehe jk 😉 But he juts married her and he knows that Bella loves him more than anyone else in the world. He believes her when she tells him something. And I'm glad he finally toned down his protectiveness (is that a word?). I mean I know he loves her and everything, but seriously he was going way too far trying to keep Bella from him in Eclipse. But, you know, it was more about jealousy than anything, so on the other hand I can't say I blame him. If I had the power to keep the boy I loved away from all other girls, I would 😉
Maybe we like REAL boyfriends who are sweet and take care of us without being too protective of ourselves. Boyfriends who let us have fun but are always there to save us if something goes wrong. Boyfriends who are hot and soft, who have a great sense of humour.
Maybe Team Edwards like overprotective boyfriends who don't let them do anything FUN because it could be dangerous for them. Boyfriends who even break their cars to stop them from seeing their best friends. Boyfriends with whom you can't do ANYTHING without making them want to kill you. Maybe Team Edwards like corpses as boyfriends. Cold and hard as a stone guys. What a turn off!
Seriously, back off. I don't care if you don't like Jacob. Just don't you dare say such nonsense about our boyfriend choices and about us loving abusive boyfriends. It was very insulting. You should apologize to every Jacob lover out there.
Being Team Cullen And all I never really liked jacob that much and just thought he was getting in the way of Edwards And Bellas Relationship and i completely disliked him, untill i finished Breaking Dawn, and then i started to understand him better, Like i can see why he came to the wedding, to say goodbye to her and hold her for one last time, but when he started getting involved on the honeymoon buisiness, Jacob you crossed the line, Let her go. I know its probably hard for him but she has chosen. <— No disrespect to Jacob Because I Love Him Aswell 😀
Anyways the Gossip Girl Thing, Lol, Wayy Funny, Love That Show!
Cya,

I read your blog all of the time and enjoy it alot, but have never commented on it before. I have to say this is the most insiteful one yet. I have read Breaking Dawn a few times and I never looked at it quite that way. I was glad that Jacob came to the wedding. It completed the day for Bella, and it seems that it was Edwards present to her. But being someone that has more guy friends that girl friends. When I get married I hope that all of my guy friends would be there. But I never looked at it as disrespectful until now. Thank you for this post. I always learn so much more about the Bell, Edward and Jacob as they seem through your eyes.
So I will admit that the first time I read the books I was an all out Jacob hater. I have read them 3 times with the intention of trying to understand Jacob better and to find some good qualities about him. All I have accomplished is not hating him as much in New Moon and not hating him by the end of Breaking Dawn, but that's about all I can say.
So yes, I think he went way way too far at the wedding. This might be very hard for him to handle, but once you're married you don't share sweet tender moments with ex-loves, even if it is just to say good-bye. The time for good-byes is before the wedding. I don't mind him being there to show support, at my wedding reception my husband's ex-girlfriend showed up and that was fine, but there was no intimacy to the visit, just a congratulations and hopefully, for her, finalization. The thing that made me so mad was that Jacob wanted to spend time alone with her and talk about personal things. That draws the line for a married person period, much more for a married person at their wedding. And I don't think he was just concerned for her safety. It's like is Eclipse, how it wasn't just a vampire/werewolf thing. Jacob needed to come to terms with things before he showed up at the wedding and he should havebeen detatched enough from Bella that he didn't have to share an intimate moment with her.
Oh yeah, and sorry if my comment is here like 4 times, I re-commented because I thought it got deleted! I would delete them if I could…ugh I feel like a total loser.
You are so right!
I agree with everything exept that I started liking Jacob in BD, and liked him in NM, exept for the end. In eclipse I was a jacob hater. But what I don't understand is that someone says theyr team Jacob now, like you said Kaleb. She is married, and wan'ts to be with Edward. Why should she break up with Edward, the love of her life, to be with Jacob, who can inprint on anyone anytime? I like Jacob as her friend, but NOT as anything more. I think it is bad of him, when he has said that hey can just be friends, that he ceeps pushing her. And Edward had been so gentle (as always) to invite him for bellas best,. and then he just ruins it, by asking private questons, and then get angry. Mabye he is afraid of Bellas safety, but it is no excuse. And he should now that Edward love bella way to much now too kill her, even if they have a ''real honeymoon''.
Not really sure how I feel about Jacob at the wedding, but I do find the gg picture funny. I always thought that Chase would have made a much better Edward, even though I have never watched the show.
Being a loyal Team Edward card-carrying member, I do believe Jacob went a little far. I mean, kissing Bella's hair once Edward is gone? RUDE. I haven't liked Jacob ever since he kissed Bella in Eclipse, and tried to convince her to love him more. I think Jacob has a habit of going much too far with assorted things, so I don't like him.
As Lin said, you don't try and rekindle a flame that's already extinguished. Bella has already chosen Edward, and she won't leave his side for anything. Jacob needs to realize that Bella isn't going to change her mind. It just irked me even more about when he wanted to discuss all kinds of personal things. Personally, I despise Jacob's personality. It was OK in New Moon, but he just got brattier, maybe is the word, in the following books. Trying to get Bella's love back, etc. As Seth said in Chapter One of Breaking Dawn, “Jacob made his choices, you made yours.”
Jacob definitely went too far. It was fine for him to come to the wedding to support Bella, but taking her aside alone at her wedding was taking it a bit far. When he brought up the honeymoon? yeah, that was too much. It's really none of his business. Of course, I sort of understand why he's so upset, he honestly believes Edward is going to kill Bella. I think it's time for him to let go of Bella.
He didn't go too far, yes it was noble, and omg, this chapter is so sad.
I don't really think Jacob went too far by attending the wedding, or by what he did. He wanted a last time to see Bella before she was changed, because at that point, he knew that he probably wouldn't even talk to her when she was a vampire, let alone see her. And he was a victim of morbid curiosity, it happens to the best of us. We ask questions that we know will probably have answers we don't want to hear… It just kinda blew up in his face when the fact came out that Edward and Bella were going to have a 'real' honeymoon. Of course he got upset, he was positive that it would kill her. He didn't see the logic in having the 'real' honeymoon before she got changed, because if she was a vampire, she would have no chance of dying. In fact, I would probably lose my temper as well if Bella told me that, because from an objective outside point of view, it seems unnecessarily dangerous. He reacted because he cares. I don't think he came to try and change her mind-he already knew that he'd lost to Edward. He just came to see her one last time.
Poor Jacob. Poor, poor Jacob. I felt so bad for him in the beginning of this book.
Edward is the one who invited him to the wedding, though, so I didn't get mad when he showed up. Is one dance–well, two–so much to ask?
I was always Team Edward, but I've also always liked Jacob.
i totally agree about the “How can i be Team Jacob, if Team Edward won?” greatest line ever you should tell that to my Team Jacob friends. One who knew Edward one refused to read Breaking Dawn. I tell her it's wasted commitment but she still keeps that book closed
I don't think Jacob went to far, I mean, he really wanted her, and he KNEW what she was doing was wrong. It really was kind of like a last good bye.
Does he deserve to feel the way he does now? No, no one does. It was noble for him to hang on and try to change her mind up until the last minute.
I really liked Jacob, though I've always refused to choose a team. Jacob is the most like me in this sense. I never get the one I want.
won not one sorry
nice smile at the end! 😀
i totally agree that Jacob has no business interfering with Bella's (mphh) personal life, and i agree he should move on. also i agree again that the next few chapters are going to be…interesting, especially from your opinion Kaleb. XD sorry to funny
Jacob did not go too far. This is the only part in the book that makes me cry every time. I think you're missing the point of why he came– I honestly don't think he came to change her mind. I really doubt he wanted to be there at all– I mean, why would he want to torture himself like that?? He only came because he knew it would make Bella happy for her to see her best friend at her wedding. Jacob never deserved to be hurt. It was just an unfortunate consequence of his falling in love, and no one should be punished for loving.
Wow, um, I'm just gonna say this, it is totally off subject, but you are extremely hot. I just noticed that. I am sorry for the randomness. I'm too young for you, though. =(
Me Too!! lol
