Morning mist curled over the hills as the first light spilled across the valley. Beneath two tall palms, they took their seats and simply breathed it in—soft gold on a white dress, a calm smile in a black suit, the lake holding the sky like a mirror. Nothing rushed; the day opened gently.
They wandered the slopes as the sun climbed, laughter skipping ahead of them on the grass. Warm wind lifted her train, and the bouquet’s soft neutrals—dried blooms and tiny pearls—matched the hush of the landscape. Close together, they paused, forehead to forehead, a private vow carried on birdsong and breeze.
Before they left, they held up blank frames to the morning—two clean pages for the life they’re about to write. A quiet, elegant beginning, wrapped in light.
