Love at first sight (special chapter #3)

# Special Chapter: Beautiful in White

Leigh stood in front of the mirror, the soft glow of morning sunlight filtering through the curtains and casting a warm light over the room. He took a deep breath, his fingers trembling slightly as he smoothed down the fabric of his crisp white tuxedo jacket. Today was the day—the day he had dreamed about ever since he first met Alexander.

As he adjusted his tie, memories flooded his mind—memories of their journey together, the highs and lows, the laughter and tears. It had been a winding road to get here, but Leigh knew in his heart that every moment had been worth it.

He glanced at the photograph on the dresser—a snapshot of him and Alexander, taken during one of their early adventures together. They were standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean, the wind tousling their hair, their smiles bright and carefree. Leigh couldn’t help but smile as he remembered that day—the feeling of Alexander’s hand in his, the warmth of his laughter.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Leigh turned to see his best friend and groomsmen entering the room, their faces beaming with excitement.

“Hey, you ready?” one of them asked, clapping Leigh on the shoulder.

Leigh nodded, his heart racing with anticipation. “Yeah. I think so.”

As they helped him with the finishing touches, the room filled with laughter and camaraderie. They shared stories from their college days, reminiscing about the adventures they had shared and the moments that had shaped their friendship.

Downstairs, Alexander stood with his groomsmen, a nervous energy radiating from him despite his calm demeanor. He couldn’t believe that today was finally here—that he was about to marry the love of his life. His mind raced with thoughts of Leigh—how far they had come, the obstacles they had overcome, and the future that lay ahead.

As the ceremony approached, Alexander took a moment to himself, gazing out at the serene landscape surrounding the venue. The sun was beginning to set, casting a golden hue over the rolling hills and blooming gardens. It was a picture-perfect day, a reflection of the love and joy that filled his heart.

The guests took their seats, the air alive with anticipation. Soft music played in the background, a melodic backdrop to the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze. The atmosphere was serene, a testament to the love that had brought Leigh and Alexander to this moment.

Leigh walked down the aisle, his heart pounding in his chest as he caught sight of Alexander waiting for him at the altar. Their eyes met, and in that moment, everything else faded away—the worries, the doubts, the uncertainties. There was only love, pure and undeniable, shining brightly in Alexander’s eyes.

They exchanged vows, each word a promise of love, loyalty, and unwavering devotion. Leigh spoke from the heart, his voice steady despite the emotions threatening to overwhelm him. Alexander’s vows were equally heartfelt, a testament to the depth of his love and the certainty of his commitment.

Finally, the officiant pronounced them husbands, and the crowd erupted into applause. Leigh and Alexander exchanged rings—a symbol of their everlasting bond—and sealed their vows with a kiss that spoke volumes of their love and passion.

The reception was a joyful celebration, filled with laughter, music, and dancing under the starlit sky. Friends and family toasted the newlyweds, sharing stories and memories of their journey together. Leigh and Alexander moved through the crowd hand in hand, their hearts overflowing with gratitude and happiness.

As the night drew to a close, Leigh and Alexander stole a quiet moment together, standing under a canopy of twinkling lights. They looked out at the world before them, their fingers intertwined as they basked in the glow of their love.

“I never thought this day would come,” Leigh whispered, his voice filled with wonder.

Alexander pulled him closer, pressing a kiss to his forehead. “Neither did I. But I’m so glad it did.”

They stood together in the quiet of the night, their hearts full of love and hope for the future. As they looked ahead, hand in hand, Leigh and Alexander knew that their love was a beacon—a light that would guide them through whatever challenges life may bring.

And as they walked into the future together, surrounded by the love and support of their friends and family, Leigh and Alexander knew that they had found their happily ever after.
