In 1935, Emmett was out hunting in the mountains of Tennessee when he
was attacked by a bear. He very nearly died, but Rosalie found him and
brought him to Carlisle to be saved. Emmett describes the event as
being saved by an angel who brought him to God. Once the pain of the
change had passed, Rosalie and Carlisle explained the situation to him,
and to their surprise, the whole vampire issue didn’t disturb him. In
his own words: “But if Carlisle and Rosalie, my angel, were vampires,
how bad could it be?" He had trouble with the rules at first and has
tasted human blood on several occasions.
He is married to Rosalie, and has married her several times for
show. Emmett will do anything to make Rosalie happy, and since Rosalie
likes attention and is all about show, she gets a wedding every so many
years. Often time, he and Rosalie live away from the others as a
newlywed couple. She saved him because he looked like her friends child.
* Her friends name was Vera
