Power, Love, and Promise (COMPLETED)

From Grapes to Grace: Love's Grand Affair

As the days turned into weeks, the excitement surrounding Selena and Frey's upcoming wedding transformed into a whirlwind of preparation. Their families, accustomed to organizing lavish events, jumped right in, ensuring that every detail would be nothing short of spectacular.

Selena often found herself surrounded by her parents and a team of planners in the penthouse, poring over endless lists and vision boards. The wedding was set to be one of the most talked-about events of the year, with the media already buzzing about the nuptials of the power couple. They envisioned a winter wonderland in a grand ballroom, adorned with sparkling lights, white florals, and touches of deep blue—reflecting the color of Selena's Blue Moon diamond.

Frey's family was equally involved, coordinating with their extensive network of contacts to secure the best venues, caterers, and decorators. "We want this to be the event of the season," Ron announced during one of their planning sessions, excitement brimming in his voice. "Let's make it unforgettable!"

The couple often met with wedding planners, discussing everything from the grand entrance to the honeymoon. The checklist seemed never-ending, with decisions to be made on everything from the guest list to the wedding favors. Invitations had to be designed, sent, and RSVPs meticulously tracked, all while managing their demanding careers.

The pressure mounted as the wedding date approached. "Are you ready for this?" Selena asked Frey one evening as they reviewed their to-do list. She could see the hints of stress on his handsome face.

Frey chuckled, running a hand through his hair. "I don't think anyone could be fully prepared for this level of chaos. But with you by my side, I'm sure we'll manage. Besides, this is going to be amazing."

As the days grew colder, their plans became more tangible. They selected a breathtaking venue that boasted floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Thames, perfect for a winter ceremony. The décor featured shimmering chandeliers, snow-white draping, and elegant floral arrangements that would transform the space into a romantic wonderland.

Selena spent hours with her mother, selecting the perfect dress. "It has to be memorable," Amelia said, flipping through designer catalogs. "This is your day, sweetheart, and it should reflect everything you are—stunning, elegant, and undeniably you."

Selena finally found the dress that made her heart skip a beat—a timeless creation with intricate lace and flowing silk that hugged her figure perfectly. She could picture Frey's reaction as she stepped down the aisle, ready to say "I do."

In the midst of the chaos, they carved out moments for themselves. Late-night walks through London, cozy evenings curled up on the couch with hot cocoa, and quiet dinners where they would reflect on their journey. Each shared moment reminded them of the love they were building and the commitment they were making.

As the final touches were put in place, the couple knew that they were not just preparing for a wedding but a grand celebration of their love, uniting two powerful families. Amid the pressure, they remained grounded, reminding each other of their commitment.

"We're doing this together," Frey would say, placing his hand on her back, a reassuring touch amidst the frenzy.

"Yes, together," Selena would reply, looking up at him with unwavering faith.

The preparations for the wedding were in full swing, life didn't slow down for Frey and Selena. In the midst of the hustle, an unexpected yet exciting development arose—the vineyard owner from Tuscany, whom they had met during their retreat, contacted Frey's office. His name was Alessandro Vieri, a man who had tended the vineyard for decades, pouring his heart into every vine.

Frey was quick to respond, arranging for Alessandro to visit London. Given the importance of the vineyard to Selena, Frey wanted to handle everything personally. Alessandro would be flown in from Tuscany by Frey's private jet, attended by his trusted pilot and assistants. It was a gesture of respect, ensuring the man who had dedicated his life to the vineyard would be treated with care and dignity.
