I stole a moment to myself, finding solace in the quiet beauty of nature. The gentle breeze whispered through the trees, as if offering words of encouragement. In that serene moment, I reflected on the journey that had brought us here.

The path had not always been easy. We had faced obstacles and challenges, both individually and together. But through it all, our love had remained steadfast, growing stronger with each passing day.

Today was a celebration of that love - a testament to our commitment and devotion. As I stood there, taking in the breathtaking scenery, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this opportunity to start anew.

And as I joined hands with my beloved at the altar, I knew in my heart that this was just the beginning of an extraordinary journey together. I enter my changing room, away from all the people and on the other side of the building as Nathaniel, to get ready.

The nerves start to set in, a familiar sensation that dances through my body. I take a deep breath, trying to calm the fluttering butterflies in my stomach. Today is a day of new beginnings, of promises and commitments.

As I stand here, in my dressing room, loved ones in the main room and the anticipation of what's to come, I can't help but feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation. It's natural, they say, to have these jitters before embarking on such a significant journey.

But amidst the nervousness, there is also an undeniable sense of joy. This is a momentous occasion, a celebration of love and unity. As I peek out to look around at the smiling faces, I am reminded that I am not alone in this.

I take solace in knowing that no matter what lies ahead, I have the unwavering support of those who are dear to me. Their words of encouragement echo in my mind, giving me strength as I prepare to take that step forward.

And so, with a mixture of nerves and determination, I embrace this moment. The nerves may be present, but they will not overshadow the profound happiness that awaits on the other side.

My mother entered the changing room, her familiar presence bringing comfort amidst the flurry of nerves. She carefully helped me with my tie, her hands steady and gentle. As she worked, they shared a quiet conversation, filled with words of love and encouragement.

In that intimate moment, i felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for my mother's unwavering support. Her presence reminded me of the countless times she had been there for me throughout my life, guiding me through both joyous and challenging moments.

As we exchanged heartfelt words, my anxiety began to dissipate. My mother's soothing voice reassured me that i was ready for this next chapter in my life. With each word spoken, a sense of confidence grew within me.

With a final adjustment to my suit, i looked into the mirror and saw not just myself, but also the reflection of my mother's love and belief in me. I knew that as i walked down the aisle, she would be by my side every step of the way.

Embracing her in a tight hug, i whispered a heartfelt thank you. My mother smiled warmly, her eyes shining with pride. In that moment, we both knew that this day would forever hold a special place in our hearts.
