The day of Leo and Mia's wedding arrives, and it's as beautiful as anyone could have imagined. The venue is perfect, the guests are joyful, and Leo and Mia are radiant with happiness.
As I watch them exchange vows, I feel a surge of emotion. Leo has been my best friend, my rock, through so much, and seeing him so happy fills me with a deep sense of gratitude. I'm proud of him, and proud of the journey we've both been on.
After the ceremony, Leo pulls me aside, his eyes shining with joy. "Thank you for everything, Lila," he says. "I couldn't have made it here without you."
"You deserve all of this, Leo," I reply, my heart full.
As the night goes on and the celebration continues, I take a moment to reflect on how far we've come. This chapter of our lives is closing, but a new one is just beginning-for Leo, for me, and for all the people we love.
And I can't wait to see what happens next.
