Me? I worked with Tabitha to create something truly amazing. It’s not from a designer who would charge us thousands of dollars, it’s something way better than that. Ivory lace adorns my gown, floral designs through the whole dress, and lacy frills that follow my path as I proceed down the "aisle" toward the minister and Hawk.
Fresh wildflowers adorn my hair, a mix of its natural blonde and the lavender of my namesake. I carry a bouquet of roses and lavender, a dedication of love and devotion in typical wedding symbolism. I hope that my whole outfit speaks of my newfound love for nature and Evergreen Valley, showing I am ready to become part of this town and give myself to my family and my community until I am old and gray.
I fidget the bouquet a bit, thinking of other wedding traditions. The only people I know who are single are Hannah and Hawk’s little sister, Serena. I wonder who I ought to throw it to, and they’re unfortunately on opposite sides of the ceremony. Maybe I’ll give it to Tabitha and tell her to choose. As much as I love traditions, breaking them is so much fun as well.
Hawk smiles as I reach the minister.
I’m filled with anticipation for what is to come in our life. He has started working with his friends on building a proper chalet of our own, taking inspiration from the rented one. A home worthy of us and our family, one that we’ll build our very soul and desires in, however big it may eventually be.
The minister begins his words. Things we have heard before. Things we agree with wholeheartedly. We give our vows to one another, and our friends and family look on at us earnestly, their happiness only a close second to our own.
Soon, we are told to kiss.
We give our guests, and what we, want.
A delightful, passionate kiss. Nothing too sexy, but we’re making it pretty clear that something very adult is going to occur as soon as we gain some semblance of privacy.
The sun starts to set behind the mountains as we finish the ceremony. I look to my love and into his eyes, which stare back at me with genuine appreciation.
His love, the love of family, our will to be true to each other and to nature, these are all things that are as timeless and enduring as the mountains themselves.
