She came to him, blushing sweetly beneath her white veil, more nervous than she remembered being in her life. The ceremony passed in a blur of happiness, nothing coming clearer than ‘I do’ and, ‘You may now kiss the bride.’

The reception was endured amid a flurry of good wishes, hugs, and laughter, with all their remaining friends and family celebrating this happy occasion. Then they were away on their honeymoon, alone at last.

They came together like strangers, suddenly shy with each other in the clear moonlight, painfully aware of all their perfect flaws which were revealed once their pressed clothes had been removed with many soft touches.

Pale tears tracked down her pink cheeks as he broke her, sliding into her gently for the first time. She smiled at him and nodded her head when he asked if she was alright, and he understood that all she needed was to be loved in her entirety.

Somewhere along the way, a trail marked by passionate embraces and butterfly kisses on hot, sweaty skin, they began to realize the true value of this most precious of gifts - their love for each other. So it was that as the stars began to fade and the eastern sky began to blush, they confessed to that love with heated whispers and soft eyes, watching the sunrise wrapped in the comfort of each other’s arms.
