The day they had all been waiting for finally came. Everyone was rushing and running around the compound, ensuring everything was perfect and ready to go.

Klaus, ever the perfectionist, had made some last-minute adjustments to ensure everything was just right. He had been accompanied by Caroline, who had made it clear that she wouldn't let a single thing look slightly out of place.

Hayley, radiant in her gown, had been surrounded by her bridesmaids, who had all grouped around her, ensuring every last detail was nothing but perfect. Their laughter and chatter filled the air, adding to the joyful atmosphere as they worked. The occasional clink of glasses was heard from their room.

Meanwhile, the groomsmen, having completed their duties, relaxed together, swapping stories and sharing a toast to the groom's happiness. They had enjoyed eachothers company, congratulating Elijah on his wedding.

The Wedding

As guests entered the garden, they were greeted by a winding pathway bordered by towering trees and colourful flowers, leading them deeper into the heart of the venue. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blossoms, mingling with the soft hum of bees and the occasional chirp of birds.

The ceremony space itself was nestled amidst a grove of ancient oak trees, their sprawling branches draped in delicate Spanish moss. A simple wooden arch adorned with fresh flowers stood at the centre, framed by greenery that seemed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings.

Rows of white wooden chairs lined either side of the aisle, their pristine simplicity adding to the rustic charm of the setting. Soft petals were scattered along the path, creating a fragrant carpet that beckoned guests to take their seats and prepare for the celebration to come.

Behind the ceremony space, a tranquil pond shimmered in the dappled sunlight, its surface dotted with lily pads and colourful koi fish. A graceful stone bridge arched over the water, offering a picturesque backdrop for pictures and a moment of quiet when needed.

Cami looked radiant as she stood in the middle of the venue among her friends, her soft satin dress draping elegantly over her figure. The blue of her gown complemented her eyes, while the sweetheart neckline accentuated her delicate collarbones.

The A-line silhouette of the dress gracefully skimmed over her curves, creating a timeless and feminine silhouette. A subtle slit adorned one side of the skirt, adding a hint of allure to the otherwise classic design. The dress had been paired with a pair of satin heels that overall completed the look.

Cami's hair was swept up into an intricate updo, with loose curled tendrils framing her face and softening the look.

Her makeup was soft and natural, with a rosy blush highlighting her cheeks and a soft pink lip colour, adding a youthful glow to her smile. Subtle shimmering eyeshadow accentuated her eyes, adding a hint of sparkle that caught the light as she moved.

She smiled as she spoke to Rebekah, who was looking stunning in her maid of honour dress.
"Rebekah, this is beautiful. I'm so glad you chose this venue."-C

"Thank you. When I chose it, I didn't know what I expected, but this is beyond what I thought it'd look like."-R
Rebekah looked around, once again admiring her choice of venue that she had convinced Hayley to agree to.

"I'm so happy for them. They deserve this. You all do."-C

Rebekah put a hand on Cami's arm.
"So do you. This is a day for all of us. Everything can wait until tomorrow because today, we're just a normal group of family and friends gathered together to celebrate a wedding."-R
