As the last notes of the evening's music faded and the laughter of their guests began to quiet, Lisa stood at the edge of the garden, looking out over the twinkling lights that adorned the trees.
The night had been a whirlwind of emotions, from the heartfelt vows they exchanged to the joyous celebration with their closest friends and family.
Now, the realization that their wedding day was drawing to a close settled over her with a mix of contentment and excitement for what lay ahead.
Lian approached her, his hand gently resting on her lower back and drawing her closer.
"Ready to start our next adventure?" he asked, his voice soft but filled with anticipation.
Lisa nodded, her eyes shining with happiness.
"More than ready," she replied, leaning into his embrace.
As they walked back to where their guests were gathered, they were met with a chorus of cheers and well-wishes.
