I love Alice and Jasper and they were my favourite minor couple throughout most of the series until Kate and Garrett. As soon as I noticed something between them it was so cool!

They didn't have as much time to be explored as the others but of what we did get to know was more than enough and I guess that's a tip of the hat to Stephanie that through the small amount of words I got such a feel for them. I wonder if it's because I am able to recognise a similar fiction couple that I think are great together and their relationship was further fleshed out.
Away from my point though:
Molly2101 wrote:Carlisle and Esme...they are just so perfectly suited. I hate that we don't get to delve into each character's background, but I would love to know more about their background. Particularly as they met when Esme was a young girl and then Carlisle remembered her when they met again. They fit so well together. Beautiful
Carlisle and Esme did not know each other when they were younger. Because Carlise
made Esme a partner for himself so much after he'd become a vampire and as vampires they were unchanging Esme and Carlisle have only known each other as we see them as. I personally have never felt much for they're relationship. I love them as characters but I felt it was never displayed as them being in love. I've actually always thought how lucky it was that Esme did fall in love with Carlisle. She didn't have much choice in the matter, Carlisle chose her from a morgue and who else could she go to? Ew, just got a picture of Esme and Edward together. >.<
