At 11:30 on August 1, Twilighters gathered at Barnes & Noble and raised their glasses of blood-red Passion Tea to Stephenie Meyer and Breaking Dawn.
I was honored with the task of giving this toast. Here's what I said:
Thank you so much for joining us this evening for the latest (I won’t say
the final) chapter in the amazing story of the Twilight saga. In Twilight, Stephanie Meyer introduced us to a strange new world that challenged everything we thought we knew about vampires. A New Moon rose and broke our hearts, Eclipse achieved the impossible: a fragile
truce between sworn enemies, and now Breaking Dawn promises to take our breath away.
Many of you were swept up in the romance of a first love, others were intrigued by Meyer’s new telling of the old vampire legends, and still others were simply spell-bound by a captivating story. Stephenie Meyer has created living, breathing characters who touch us, who seem real to us, and we want all of them to have a happy ending, even when that seems impossible.
But tonight we’re here to celebrate a wedding. Even though some of us still harbor a soft spot for a certain werewolf [big cheer here from Team Jacob], and when an accident-prone disaster magnet tries to marry a vampire, absolutely anything can happen [cheers from everyone], I don’t think any of us want to bet against Alice.
Please join me in raising a glass to toast the imagination of Stephanie Meyer, the launch of Breaking Dawn, and the triumph of love over evil.
