What happens

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is a 2011 American vampire romantic fantasy film directed by Bill Condon from a screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg, based on the 2008 novel Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. It is the sequel to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) and the fourth installment in The Twilight Saga film series. The film stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, reprising their roles as Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black, respectively. In the film, Bella and Edward marry and become pregnant with a half-human, half-vampire child, which causes the Cullen family to become a target of Jacob and his Wolf Pack. Summit Entertainment announced that Breaking Dawn would be adapted into a two-part film on June 10, 2010. Principal photography for both parts began on November 1, 2010, and wrapped on April 22, 2011. The first part was shot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Vancouver, Canada. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 premiered at the Rome Film Festival on October 30, 2011, and was theatrically released in the United States on November 18, by Summit Entertainment. The film received mixed reviews from critics with criticism aimed at pacing, screenplay and performances. It grossed $732 million worldwide, becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2011. A sequel, Breaking Dawn – Part 2, was released in 2012. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
