Later that evening, as the reception began, the energy in the room was palpable—full of joy, love, and excitement. The venue was beautifully decorated, radiating elegance and warmth. Soft, golden lights hung from the ceiling, casting a gentle glow over the tables draped in white linen. The scent of fresh white roses and peonies filled the air, mingling with the light sound of classical music playing softly in the background. The space looked like something out of a dream, with the couple's personal touch everywhere: simple yet meaningful floral arrangements, candles flickering on every table, and photos of their journey together scattered throughout the room.

Jeonghan and Seungcheol made their grand entrance, hand in hand. The room erupted in applause, cheers, and whistles, as their friends and family rose to their feet to celebrate them. Seungcheol squeezed Jeonghan's hand, his eyes sparkling with happiness as they walked down the aisle of the reception hall toward their table. Their guests clinked their glasses, calling for a toast, and the newlyweds waved, their faces beaming.

They took their seats at the head table, surrounded by their closest friends and family, who had traveled from near and far to witness this special day. Mingyu, Seungkwan, and Seokmin made their way to the couple, practically bouncing with excitement as they congratulated them. "Finally!" Seungkwan exclaimed, pulling them into a tight hug. "You two are perfect together!"

As the night unfolded, the couple moved from table to table, greeting everyone with wide smiles. Jeonghan's father, who had always been a little reserved, stood up to give a speech. His voice was thick with emotion, and he shared touching memories from Jeonghan's childhood, recounting how proud he was of his son's strength and growth. "And Seungcheol," he said, glancing warmly at the groom, "we are so thankful that Jeonghan has found someone who understands him, loves him, and cherishes him the way you do. You've made our family complete."

Tears welled in Jeonghan's eyes as he glanced at Seungcheol, who was holding his hand tightly under the table, both of them overwhelmed by the support and love around them. The guests clapped, and then the next speech began. Mingyu, who had been friends with Jeonghan since childhood, stood up and raised his glass, his voice full of teasing affection. "Jeonghan," he said, "I've seen you go through a lot, but I've never seen you this happy. I'm so glad you've found someone who makes you smile like that. Seungcheol, you're a keeper."

The entire room erupted in laughter, and Seungcheol couldn't help but blush as he turned to Jeonghan, who was laughing softly beside him. As the speeches continued, their friends shared memories, funny anecdotes, and heartwarming moments about the couple. Wonwoo spoke of the countless late-night study sessions they'd had, Jihoon jokingly threatened Seungcheol about keeping Jeonghan safe, and Soonyoung gave a heartfelt speech about how proud he was of their journey.

Soon, the dinner began. A feast of delicious dishes was served, from creamy pastas to perfectly grilled meats, each plate better than the last. Jeonghan and Seungcheol couldn't stop smiling at one another, feeding each other bites of food and laughing over how they had both somehow managed to spill their drinks. The evening felt like a fairytale, and it was hard to believe that all their years of trials and challenges had led them to this perfect moment.

After dinner, the dance floor opened, and the couple shared their first dance as husband and husband. The soft, romantic tune of their favorite song filled the air, and Jeonghan leaned his head on Seungcheol's shoulder as they swayed together. It was a moment of pure bliss, just the two of them, completely lost in the love they had built together. The guests soon joined them, the floor packed with friends and family dancing, laughing, and enjoying the night.
