The day seemed to stretch on forever, but also like it was barreling through with nothing to stop it. Excitement buzzed in the air, and your heart hammered in your chest, each beat a loud reminder of what was about to happen.

Fuuta stood at the altar, looking more perfect than you had ever imagined. It was as though the gates of heaven had opened just for this moment, doves soaring against the backdrop of a bright blue sky, white petals scattered at his feet, and all the eyes of your closest friends and family fixed on you both. Every step you took toward him felt like the world had stopped.

‘Til death do us part.’ The words you’d been waiting for, the promise that tied you forever to Fuuta, the love of your life. With the vows spoken and the 'I dos' exchanged, the ceremony flowed seamlessly into the night, each moment feeling more like a fairytale.

Later, the two of you arrived home, stepping into the quiet space that would now be shared as wedded partners. The silence didn’t feel strange, though, it was peaceful. The only sound was the soft rustle of sheets as you both settled into bed, hands finding each other instinctively. The weight of the evening, the joy, the love, and the memories hung in the air, but neither of you had the words to fully grasp it yet.

The night was young, full of possibilities, and for the first time, there was no rush to fill the silence. There was time to savor everything. There was so much left to say.
