At the altar, Noah stood with a look of pure adoration as he watched Mia approach. His heart swelled with love and anticipation.

As Mia reached the altar, she handed her bouquet to Ava and joined hands with Noah. They stood before the priest, their fingers intertwined, radiating love and commitment. The ceremony, though simple, was profoundly moving. Every word spoken felt significant, echoing the deep bond between the couple. When it came time for the vows, both Mia and Noah spoke with sincerity and emotion, their words a testament to their love.

The exchange of rings was followed by a moment of anticipation as the priest finally announced, "You may kiss the bride."

Noah didn't hesitate. He drew Mia into his arms and kissed her with a passion that made everyone in attendance feel the depth of their connection. Mia responded in kind, the kiss sealing not just their vows but the beginning of their new life together. The guests erupted into cheers and applause, the joyous sound filling the air.

After the ceremony, everyone moved to the reception for dinner. The atmosphere was lively, filled with laughter and celebration. However, Ava quietly excused herself and made her way to the bathroom. She leaned against the sink, trying to steady her breathing. For weeks, she had been battling sudden bouts of shortness of breath and unexplained weight loss. The symptoms were becoming increasingly concerning, but she had kept them to herself, not wanting to worry anyone—especially not on a day as important as this.
