The day of Ananya and Arjun's wedding dawned bright and beautiful, with a clear blue sky and a gentle breeze. Aditi awoke early, her heart racing with excitement not just for the celebration ahead but for the promise of what lay beyond it for her and Rohit. She slipped out of bed quietly, careful not to wake Rohit, who had fallen asleep beside her after a late-night discussion about their future.
In the bathroom, Aditi took a moment to gather her thoughts. The excitement of the wedding was palpable, yet it stirred within her a mixture of nerves and anticipation regarding her relationship with Rohit. As she prepared for the day, she couldn't help but think of all the possibilities ahead of them.

**At the wedding venue,** the atmosphere buzzed with energy as family and friends gathered, eagerly awaiting the beautiful union of Ananya and Arjun. The venue was adorned with exquisite floral arrangements, soft lighting, and delicate drapes that flowed like a dream. Aditi marveled at the transformation of the space, feeling the magic of love in the air.
"Aditi! There you are!" Ananya called out, her voice bright with joy. She rushed over, her bridal outfit glimmering in the sunlight. "You look stunning!"
"Thank you! You look absolutely breathtaking," Aditi replied, embracing her friend.
"Can you believe it's finally here?" Ananya asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"I know! I can't wait to see you walk down the aisle," Aditi said, her heart swelling with happiness for her friend.

**As the ceremony began,** Aditi stood beside Rohit, holding his hand tightly. The moment Ananya entered, dressed in a beautiful lehenga and adorned with intricate jewelry, everyone gasped in awe. The joy radiating from her was contagious, and Aditi felt a swell of emotion as she watched her friend step into a new chapter of her life.
"Look at her," Rohit whispered, squeezing Aditi's hand. "She's glowing."
Aditi nodded, her eyes misty. "She really is. It makes me think about our future and how beautiful our day could be," she admitted, glancing up at him.
"Soon," Rohit replied, his gaze steady. "One step at a time."

**The ceremony unfolded beautifully, filled with heartfelt vows and the promise of love.** Aditi found herself lost in the moment, imagining her own wedding and the dreams she and Rohit had begun to share. As Ananya and Arjun exchanged rings, Aditi felt Rohit lean closer, whispering sweetly in her ear.
"You know, one day we'll be up there too," he said, his breath warm against her skin.
Aditi's heart raced at the thought. "Yes, we will," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

**After the ceremony,** the celebrations kicked into high gear. Guests mingled, enjoying delicious food and vibrant music. Aditi and Rohit found themselves swept into the joy of the moment, dancing and laughing with friends and family.
"Let's go take some pictures!" Ananya exclaimed, pulling them into the throng of guests.
As the photographer captured moments of joy, Rohit and Aditi stood together, smiling brightly. The connection between them was undeniable, and the love they shared was evident in every glance and touch.
"Look at you two!" Ananya teased as they posed. "You're practically radiating love."
Rohit laughed, wrapping an arm around Aditi's waist. "Can you blame us?" he replied, winking at Aditi.

**As the evening progressed,** the dance floor came alive with energy. Aditi found herself lost in the rhythm, her heart soaring as Rohit twirled her around, their laughter mingling with the music. In those moments, nothing else mattered—only the two of them, dancing under a canopy of stars.
"Can you believe how far we've come?" Rohit said, breathless from dancing. "From being kids in Panipat to this?"
"I know! It feels surreal," Aditi replied, her eyes sparkling. "And I wouldn't want to share this moment with anyone else."

**Later in the evening, as the couple prepared for their first dance, Aditi felt a surge of emotion.** The love shared between Ananya and Arjun was palpable, a reminder of the beautiful journey ahead for her and Rohit.
"Do you want to dance?" Rohit asked, extending his hand.
"Definitely!" Aditi beamed, taking his hand and letting him lead her to the center of the dance floor.
As they swayed together, Aditi could feel the world around them fade away. Their eyes locked, and in that moment, they were the only two people in the universe.
"Whatever happens, I want you to know that I'm here for you," Rohit said softly, his voice full of sincerity.
Aditi's heart swelled. "And I'm here for you, always."

**As the night came to a close,** Aditi and Rohit stepped outside to catch their breath. The air was cool and refreshing, a stark contrast to the heat of the festivities inside.
"Tonight was amazing," Aditi said, leaning against a wall, her cheeks flushed with happiness.
"It really was," Rohit agreed, gazing at her. "But I think the best part was sharing it with you."
Aditi smiled, her heart full. "Me too."
"Can I ask you something?" Rohit said, hesitating slightly.
"Of course," Aditi replied, intrigued.
"After all this, how do you feel about taking our next step together?" he asked, his eyes searching hers.

**Aditi felt a rush of emotion.** "I feel excited and a little scared, but I know I want to take that step with you."
"Then let's start planning, together," Rohit said, his voice steady and reassuring.
Aditi nodded, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. "Yes, let's do it."
As they shared a lingering kiss under the stars, the promise of a beautiful future loomed ahead, filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities. They were ready to embrace whatever came next, side by side.
