The wedding and claiming ceremonies were absolutely stunning. Love was in the air throughout, and I couldn't help but feel overjoyed for everyone. Sylvester and I were filled with happiness, celebrating not just a wedding but a triumph.
It seemed almost impossible a few weeks ago, and we never imagined we would reach this moment. Yet, here we were, revelling in new beginnings and the joy of young love.
We truly felt blessed by the goodness in the world. The enchanting light of the blue moon cast a magical spell on us as we danced and praised the goddess for her blessings.
After the party, Sylvester and I retired to our room. We were exhausted, so all we could do was hold each other tight. In the warmth of his embrace, I snuggled closer, cherishing his protective presence. No words were necessary between us. Sleep embraced us, bringing peace and tranquillity.
Morning arrived, and the newlyweds embarked on their honeymoon. Vino, Claudia, Stephanie, and Jake headed to Grizlo, while Devin, Leo, Amelia, and Susan chose Cains Island.
Cains Island was an amazing vacation spot, but I understood why Vino didn't want to go there. It held painful memories of his past with Amanda. Now, he was starting a fresh chapter, making new memories. Any place, like Grizlo, would do just fine. It took some convincing, but Vino and Claudia agreed to leave their adorable triplets behind, entrusting us with their care.
Once they left, everyone else went inside except Sylvester, who pleaded for me to wait with him outside. I instantly felt butterflies in my stomach, sensing that something special was about to happen.
"Let's go to the stables. I want to take you somewhere," he said, and a smile spread across my face as I wondered where our horses would take us.
We walked to the stables and mounted our horses. Sylvester led the way, and I followed eagerly. We rode for a while until we arrived at the most breathtaking stone bungalow I had ever laid eyes upon.
As I dismounted, my gaze was fixated on the property in awe.
Tears welled up in my eyes, and I fought to hold them back. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. It was beyond beautiful.
The garden was exquisite, with a charming park and playground for children. I rushed towards the entrance, where Sylvester stood, holding a set of keys and wearing a wide smile. I didn't need to guess what those keys were for. I hugged him tightly, overwhelmed with emotions, and he lifted me up.
"We haven't even seen the inside yet, Green-eyes," he said, laughing, and I couldn't contain my emotions, kissing him passionately. I had only mentioned my dream to him, and he assured me he would look into it. Little did I know that he had decided to grant my wish. I didn't know how to express my gratitude.
"I love you, Sylvester. I love you so much," I whispered, and he held me even tighter.
"Anything for my queen," he replied, his happiness mirrored in his eyes.
Gently, he set me down and handed me the key to unlock the front door.
Placing the key in the lock, I turned it, and the door swung open.
