The family decided to hold the wedding ceremony 2 months from now. While the room was filled with conversation about the wedding ceremony Kevin gently pulled Ava and took her to the garden area.

Ava and Kevin sit together on a quiet bench in a serene garden. The air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers . Ava, nervous yet determined, takes Kevin's hand in hers.

Ava: (nervously) Kevin,  I felt a connection I couldn't ignore. You make me feel seen and heard in a way no one else ever has.

Kevin: (smiling softly) I feel the same way, Ava. You light up my world in ways I never thought possible.

Ava: (taking a deep breath) I know our parents arranged this, but I want you to know that my feelings are genuine. (pauses, looking into Kevin's eyes) I love you, Kevin.

(Kevin's face lights up with joy and surprise, his eyes locking onto Ava's.)

Kevin: (smiling widely) Oh, Ava... I love you too. (takes her hand to his lips, gently kissing it) I was hoping you'd feel the same way.

This moment marks the beginning of their beautiful journey together, filled with love, laughter, and adventure!

~ NEXT MORNING ~

The excitement builds!

Ava's mother, beaming with joy, sits with Kevin's mother in the living room, surrounded by wedding planning books and notes.

Ava's Mother: (excitedly) Oh, can you believe it? Our children are finally getting married! We should start looking for venues and caterers immediately.

Kevin's Mother: (laughing) I know, I've already started making a list of potential venues. And we need to decide on a date, of course.

Ava's Mother: (nodding) Yes, and the guest list! We'll need to finalize that soon. (pulls out a notebook) I've already started thinking about the decorations and flowers.

Kevin's Mother: (smiling) I was thinking a summer wedding would be lovely. The garden will be in full bloom, and it will be perfect for an outdoor ceremony.

Ava's Mother: (agreeing) That sounds beautiful. And we can have the reception in a tent, with plenty of room for dancing and celebration.

Meanwhile, Ava and Kevin sit in the next room, holding hands and smiling at each other, happy to see their parents so excited about their upcoming wedding.

Ava: (whispering) Can you believe it's all happening so fast?

Kevin: (smiling) I know, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Ava: (smiling back) Me too, my love.

The sound of their parents' laughter and planning fills the air, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere, as the countdown to their special day begins.

ALL THE PREPERATION, VENUES, CARDS WERE DINE SMD ITS TIME FOR THE WEDDING ATTIRE:

The whole family, including Ava and Kevin, sets out on a sunny Saturday morning to search for the perfect wedding attire. They visit a elegant bridal boutique, filled with stunning gowns and tailored suits.

Ava's Mother: (excitedly) Oh, Ava, try on this one! It's perfect for you.

Ava hesitantly puts on a beautiful lace gown, and her mother helps her zip it up. Kevin's eyes widen as Ava steps out of the dressing room.

Kevin: (breathlessly) Wow, you look stunning!

Ava: (blushing) Thanks, I feel like a princess.

Meanwhile, Kevin's father helps him try on a tailored suit, complete with a bow tie and cummerbund.

Kevin's Father: (smiling) You look like a true gentleman, son.

Kevin: (smirking) I feel like one too.

After trying on several dresses and suits, they finally find the perfect ones. Ava chooses a gown, and Kevin selects a sleek black tuxedo.

Ava: (excitedly) This is it! This is my dress!

Kevin: (smiling) You look incredible in it. And I think I've found my perfect tux.

The family cheers and hugs, thrilled with their finds. The boutique staff beams with joy, happy to have helped the lovely couple.

Ava's Mother: (tearfully) My baby is getting married...

Kevin's Father: (smiling) And gaining a beautiful daughter-in-law.

The family leaves the boutique, arms laden with garment bags, already envisioning the perfect wedding day.

After the excitement of finding their perfect wedding attire, the family decides to take a break and grab some coffee at a charming nearby café. They settle into a cozy corner, surrounded by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the gentle hum of conversation.

Ava: (excitedly) I still can't believe I found my dream dress!

Kevin: (smiling) You look stunning in it. I can't wait to see you walk down the aisle.

Ava's Mother: (smiling) We should take a photo of the two of you to send to the wedding planner. (pulls out her phone)

Kevin's Father: (jokingly) And don't forget to send it to the groom's side of the family. We want to see our handsome groom-to-be.

They all laugh and chat, enjoying their coffee and each other's company, as they take a moment to relax and soak in the joy of the wedding planning process.

Ava: (smiling) This is exactly what I needed. A break from all the planning and just some quality time with the people I love.

Kevin: (agreeing) Absolutely. It's easy to get caught up in all the details, but at the end of the day, it's about us and our love for each other.

The family nods in agreement, clinking their cups together in a silent toast to the happy couple.

Barista: (approaching their table) Can I get you all anything else? Maybe some pastries or another round of drinks?

Ava's Mother: (smiling) Actually, yes. We'll take a few of those delicious-looking muffins. And another round of coffee, please.

The barista nods and heads off to fulfill their order, leaving the family to continue their lovely afternoon together.
