Our Wedding

As if my very soul had drifted away, leaving my body a mere vessel beside Lance, his firm grip on my hand anchored me to reality. With a gentle tug, he led me down the grand staircase, pausing before the ornate doors of the wedding hall. His hand in mine infused me with a sense of strength I hadn't known before.The distant chiming of wedding bells heralded our entrance as the doors swung open, revealing a path adorned with a delicate carpet of red and white rose petals. Each step we took felt like a journey through a dream, the fragrance of roses enveloping us in a heavenly embrace. It was then that I realized Lance had orchestrated every detail, knowing my love for roses. The opulent hall, bathed in a sea of roses, shimmered with luxury and love.As the priest began the solemn ceremony, my senses were overwhelmed by the spectacle around me. My attention drifted between the priest's words and Lance's unwavering gaze, each vow he spoke resonating deeply within me.When the moment arrived for our vows, my heart raced in anticipation. Lance's solemn "I do" echoed with a promise that ignited a symphony of emotions within me. The exchange of rings became a symbol of our intertwined destinies, sealing our commitment amidst a chorus of heartfelt blessings.But it was the impending kiss that sent a surge of nerves through me, a flutter of anticipation mingled with apprehension. Lance's approach, amidst the thunderous applause of our guests, was both thrilling and daunting. His touch, gentle yet commanding, held a promise of passion and devotion.As our lips met, the world around us faded into a blur, leaving only the electric connection between us. The audience's reaction mirrored my own internal fireworks, their cheers igniting a blush that painted my cheeks a rosy hue.In that fleeting moment, amidst the sea of roses and adoring gazes, I realized that this kiss marked not just a union of two souls, but the beginning of an extraordinary journey filled with love, surprises, and the sweet thrill of the unknown.As his lips parted from mine, his gaze lingered on my face.(My Mind Don't look...I said don't...my face would melt down leaving only the skull behind.)He gently warmed his hands and placed one on my face, a gesture of comfort amidst the tumult of emotions.A rush of memories flooded my mind—the kiss, so vivid it felt like my blood was evaporating. (My Mind Wait! Did we really kiss? Or was it just a dream? Oh, what if my mother and Mrs. Han saw us?)Minutes later, as the ceremony concluded, I couldn't bear to face Lance and my family, the kiss burning like an ember of discomfort in my mind. And just when I thought it couldn't get worse, Kevin came bounding toward us, announcing that the wedding car awaited."Why?" I blurted out, my embarrassment palpable."For your honeymoon," Mrs. Han chimed in, oblivious to my unease.Panic surged. "But we're not ready... Can't we postpone? Take a family trip instead?" I turned to Lance, hoping for support even though I knew my words were feeble excuses. Lance, with a chuckle, brushed it off, insisting we start the journey before we were late."Don't worry, dear," Mrs. Han intervened, nudging me toward the car, "Everything's arranged."As I was pushed into the car, I caught my mother's worried glance, her silent plea for me to be happy."Lance, drive safely," she called out, "Take care of her. Have fun," her words a blend of motherly concern and forced cheerfulness.And so, with mixed emotions and a heart heavy with uncertainty, the journey began..._ROSE_...
