As glasses were raised, Enoch cleared his throat, stepping forward for his toast. "I know today is supposed to be about new beginnings," he began, his voice warm and steady, "but I can't help but reflect on how far we've come to get here. From the most unexpected start to finding love in the most unexpected way, every step led us to this moment." He paused, his gaze turning to Ruthlyn, eyes filled with admiration and tenderness. "Ruthlyn, I choose you every day—just as I did that day in the kitchen when I asked you to marry me, not out of obligation, but because I couldn't imagine my life without you. Here's to our future, to all the joy, laughter, and love still ahead."
A murmur of appreciation rippled through the small gathering, and Ruthlyn's eyes shimmered with unshed tears. She raised her glass, her lips curving into a soft smile as she met Enoch's gaze.
