Hailey sat at the kitchen table with a stack of bridal magazines spread out in front of her, a notepad and pen by her side. Ezra was across the room, typing away on his laptop, but Hailey could feel his presence as she flipped through the glossy pages of the magazines, searching for inspiration.
"I can't believe we're doing this," she said, glancing up at Ezra with a grin. "Planning our wedding. It's crazy."
Ezra looked up from his laptop and smiled at her. "I know. But it's going to be spectacular, Hailey. I can't wait to marry you."
Hailey's heart fluttered at the thought of marrying Ezra, of spending the rest of her life with him. She turned her attention back to the magazines, determined to make their wedding day as perfect as possible.
"Okay," she said, taking a deep breath. "Let's start with the venue. Do we want something outdoors or indoors?"
Ezra shrugged. "I'm good with either. What do you think?"
Hailey flipped through the pages of the magazine, looking at pictures of elegant ballrooms and rustic barns. "I think I want something outside. Maybe a garden or a vineyard?"
Ezra nodded in agreement. "That sounds impressive. What about the date? Do we have any preferences?"
Hailey thought for a moment, then grinned. "How about next spring? That way we'll have plenty of time to plan, and the weather will be perfect for an outdoor wedding."
Ezra smiled and leaned over to kiss her cheek. "Sounds perfect to me. Now, what about the dress? Have you found anything you like yet?"
Hailey's heart skipped a beat at the thought of her wedding dress. She had been dreaming about it since she was a little girl, and now she finally had the chance to find the perfect one.
"I've seen a few that I like," she said, reaching for her notepad. "I want something elegant and timeless, but also a bit modern. And I want something with lace."
Ezra chuckled. "I have no idea what that means, but I'm sure it will be beautiful."
Hailey grinned and jotted down a few notes about the dress, then moved on to the next item on her list. "What about the flowers? Do we want something colorful or more muted?"
Ezra leaned over to look at the magazine pages she was flipping through. "I like the look of those white roses. And maybe some greenery?"
Hailey nodded in agreement. "Yes, that would be perfect. And we can incorporate some of my favorite flowers too, like peonies and dahlias."
They spent the next few hours deep in wedding planning mode, discussing everything from the menu to the music to the favors they would give their guests. As they talked, Hailey felt her excitement building, imagining the day when she and Ezra would stand together at the altar and pledge their love to each other.
By the time they finished, Hailey felt exhausted but exhilarated, like they had accomplished something truly special. She leaned back in her chair and smiled at Ezra.
"I can't believe how much there is to plan. But I know it's going to be worth it in the end."
Ezra grinned and took her hand. "Me too, Hailey. I can't wait to see you in that dress, and to dance with you all night long."
Hailey felt a thrill of joy run through her at the thought of their wedding day, of starting their lives together as husband and wife. She squeezed Ezra's hand and leaned in to kiss him.
"Me too, Ezra," she said softly. "Me too, Ezra!! Hailey called, Hmm!! "What's wrong, sweetheart", Ezra asked. Can we live here after our wedding? She asked, "why??," Ezra replied. I can't abandon this house, it's part of my inheritance, I…." It's okay, sweetheart, we will both live here", Ezra said. Hailey smiled and then hugged Ezra.
