I would probably be very confused about the bruises and a little frightened. But, if Edward reacted like that to me, I would have been much angrier towards him than Bella was.

I am like Bella in a lot of ways, clumsy, easy to bruise, pale very pale unable to tan period even when I lived in Houston pale. I get bruises from tourniquets. I get giant hematomas when they blow through the vein. I was also a phlebotomist for several years so I took blood from TONS of people of all types and used that tourniquet bazillions of times. They absolutely leave bruises, just not everytime or on everyone. So, I agree with those who said bruises take time to surface. It is also entirely possible that the bruises left by Jacob were deep in the muscle and would have taken as long as 3 days to surface as high as the epidermis. Bella was so distracted in the shower I doubt she would even remember what happened with Jacob enough to consider whether or not she had a mark from him. As for Edward's notice of them had they been visible he ABSOLUTELY would have seen but they may not have been visible yet. I say every other mark (with the exception of possibly 1 ring around each upper arm) was from passion not pain - be it Jacob's pain, Bella's pain, or Edward's pain.

End of personal opinion.

The incident with Jacob is discribed as him grabing her arms and gripping her to the bone and shaking her. That kind of thing leaves a mark. It was 24 hours after the wedding, just enough time for the bruises to rise to the surface. Is Edward taking the blame for something that wasn't ALL his fault?

But then again if 1 or 2 where from Jacob then why would Edward bother to go damage Jake when Jakes already in pain from Bella going to be turned into a Vampire. And its not like he wants to start a fight with the werewolves over 2 small bruises. And when Edward showed Bella that his hands matched the shapes of the bruises it never mentioned that he traced all of them. I mean with all that force from someone so strong it would be impossible for her not to get bruised. And im not saying that he caused all the bruises Im just saying that 1 or 2 was caused by him...... And also as some posts before me had mentioned Jacobs bruises could be covered up by Edwards...

And to answer your question inlovewithmyjasper54

I would be seriously shocked but never mad at Edward for hurting me, But for being mad at himself ,more mad than Bella and Himself. furious....... I would have also said that its not his fault I mean it wasnt and that it was known that it was supposed to be hard...... I would also be more shocked about the feathers than the Bruises...
