Soulmates at First Sight

The Wedding

I feel like their love has been leading up to this moment. I would love any reviews as well! Thank you for your support!

The next morning, Aria awoke surprisingly relaxed and at peace. Despite the day being the most important and magical day of her life, she had slept amazingly well; no nerves, no doubts...just happiness. She had remembered Lucius had awoken quite early that morning. He had kissed her softly and perfectly on her head, her cheeks and her lips, as he whispered sweet nothings into her ear, his deep, soothing voice lulling her to go back to sleep.

When she had truly awoken, like Sleeping Beauty out of her magic spell, she had noticed one single white rose on the pillow beside her where Lucius usually slept. A note lay next to the rose, and in his beautiful script handwriting Lucius had wrote:

I can't wait to become your husband. Thank you for making today and the rest of my life, one of pure happiness and love. I adore you with every fiber of my soul.

Aria's eyes watered as tears brimmed to the surface, as love flowed heavily within her. She closed her eyes briefly to prevent herself from crying, as she brought the beautiful rose to her nose to breath in its beautiful scent. Lucius must have wanted to allow her the space to get ready and he must have wanted to wait to see her until it was the wedding ceremony; where he would see her in her gown for the first time, as his bride. She wasn't too sure where Lucius would be hiding out and getting ready himself, but she was sure it was somewhere on the opposite end of the Manor.

Aria had gotten up in her own time, and had showered and magically dried her hair, so that she would be ready when her hairstylist and makeup artist came. Of course, Lucius had hired the best of the best when it came to makeup and hair for the wedding and although she was a natural beauty, and really needed no help when it came to enhancing her looks, she was excited to get pampered and made up professionally. Aria looked at herself in the mirror, her skin flushed with excitement and love and the faint beginning of a glow beginning to shine out of her hair and skin. They had planned their wedding to fall on Beltane, a significant day for magical folk, especially the type of ancient magic that ran through her and Lucius' veins. She was sure as the day continued she would begin to glow brighter and brighter. She wondered if Lucius was faintly glowing as well. She wished she could see him right in that moment and sighed as she wrapped herself in a towel.

It seemed as if the preparation was already underway, as the second she exited the master bathroom she had noticed that their room had been quickly transformed into a salon of sorts; a hair and makeup station were set up, and her wedding dress was hanging on one of the open windows, waiting for her to put it on. Her mom was there, also in her robe, and so was the hairstylist and the makeup artist. Large plates of fruits and tea and coffee were set out, so everyone could eat a light breakfast. Again...most likely a thoughtful gesture from Lucius.

"Good morning my beautiful daughter," Aria's mom said as she came over to Aria and gave her a hug.

Aria flushed with happiness at having her mom here with her, and maybe also a bit of shyness at only being in a towel, but she was ready to get all dolled up. The sooner she was ready, the sooner it meant that the ceremony would begin and that she could marry Lucius. As she settled in and grabbed some coffee, she couldn't stop thinking about her Lucius again. What was he doing right now? Was he nervous? Was he as content as she was? She so wished she could embrace him in that moment and speak to him. But she also wanted to see him for the first time that day as she walked down the aisle. She wanted to see his reaction to her dress, and also to the knowledge that she was walking down the aisle to marry him. She knew it would be a powerful moment.
