Emmett Cullen and Rosalie Hale

Emmett Cullen and Rosalie Hale are one of the secondary couples in the Twilight Saga. They are vampires and are members of the Olympic Coven.

Rosalie
Before Twilight, Rosalie led a human life where her beauty ruled her. It was 1933 and though there was a Great Depression, her father kept the family wealthy with his job at the bank. She was constantly praised and admired for her beauty, making her vain and self-centred. One day, after her father forgot his lunch, Rosalie's mother dressed her up and sent her to deliver it, in the hopes that she'll catch the eyes of one Royce King II. It worked and she met Royce King The Second, the son of the Royce King, the owner of the bank. They began a relationship that was based on nothing but physical attraction as Royce was too busy working. They were soon engaged.

One day, after visiting her friend Vera and her son Henry, Rosalie noticed the lack of love in her relationship with Royce as when Vera's husband, a carpenter, kissed Vera, it was filled with nothing but love. Shaken by such thoughts, Rosalie stumbled across a drunken Royce and his friends who were just as drunk. While Royce bragged about his fiancés beauty, she was then brutally gang-rapped and bashed before being left for dead in the street.

Carlisle later found her and changed her into a vampire, in hopes that she could be a mate for Edward. However he loved her no more then a sister and she was left deeply hurt by this as her vanity needed feeding and she had never been rejected. Though she was pleased with her new found vampire beauty, she wanted revenge on Royce and so she went and murdered him and his friends, wearing a stolen wedding dress.

Two years after her transformation, in 1935, she was hunting in Tennessee when she found Emmett McCarty being mauled by a bear. Since he reminded her so much of little Henry, she took him back to Carlisle, over a hundred miles away, where he was changed into a vampire. The pair fell in love soon after.

Emmett and Rosalie have been married many times and at times have lived separately as a newly-wed couple. When Jasper and Alice joined the family, and Rosalie and Jasper began to play the parts of twins, due to their similar features.

Emmett
Not much is known about Emmett's human life but it was once mentioned that he worked on a railroad with his older brothers. Emmett was changed into a vampire by Carlisle at the request of Rosalie after she found him being mauled by a bear just outside of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Rosalie barely resisted but she did, carrying him over a hundred miles back, wanting to change him but knew she couldn't because of the bloodlust. Emmett described the experience as "being saved by an angel who brought him to God". Rosalie confessed that Emmett reminded her so much of little Henry, and ever since that day, she has wanted a child even though it'll never be possible.

After his painful transformation, Rosalie and Carlisle explained that he was a vampire to Emmett. Suprisingly, this not upset him at all. He once said, "Hell's not so bad if you get to keep an angel with you." He did, however, initially have trouble adjusting to the Cullens' rule of only feeding on animals, and has tasted human blood on several occasions. He has even ran into his Singer more then once but never resisted. After transforming, he fell in love with Rosalie has married her many times. They sometimes live sepreatly from the family and are more 'public' about their relationship.
