Chapter 6: Forever Entwined

The days that followed were a whirlwind of excitement and planning as Hange and I embarked on our journey to prepare for our wedding. Our friends and family were overjoyed by the news of our engagement, and they all rallied around us to help make our special day truly unforgettable. The sound of laughter and music filled the air as we worked together to create a celebration that would reflect our love and commitment to each other. As we strolled through the lush gardens of the estate, Hange would often take my hand, his fingers intertwining with mine in a gentle grasp. He would look at me with an adoration that made my heart skip a beat, and I could sense the love and devotion emanating from him like a palpable force. I felt like the luckiest person in the world to have found my soulmate in him. Dr. Taylor, our dear friend and doctor, had taken it upon herself to help us plan the wedding, and she had spared no expense in making sure that every detail was perfect. She would often joke that she was more excited than we were, and I could see the joy in her eyes as she worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. The scent of freshly baked pastries and roasting meats wafted through the air, mingling with the sweet fragrance of flowers, as we prepared for the big day. As the wedding day approached, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. I was excited to start this new chapter of my life with Hange, but I was also a little nervous about what the future held. What challenges would we face, and how would we overcome them? I looked at Hange, and he seemed to sense my concerns. He squeezed my hand reassuringly and smiled at me. "My little mate," he said, his voice low and soothing, "we will face whatever comes our way, together. We will laugh, we will cry, and we will build a life that is filled with love, joy, and adventure." His words were like a balm to my soul, and I felt my nerves begin to dissipate. On the morning of the wedding, I woke up feeling like a princess. My hair was styled in loose waves, and my makeup was subtle yet elegant. I slipped into my wedding dress, a beautiful lace gown that Dr. Taylor had helped me choose. The dress was a fairytale come true, with intricate details and a delicate train that sparkled in the light. I felt like I was walking on air as I made my way downstairs. Hange was waiting for me in the foyer, looking like a dashing prince in his tailored suit. His eyes locked onto mine, and he smiled, his face radiating love and adoration. I felt my heart swell with emotion as I walked towards him. "My little mate," he said, his voice full of emotion, "you look stunning. I am the luckiest man in the world to have you as my wife." He took my hand, and we walked out into the bright sunlight, ready to start our new life together. As we exchanged our vows in a beautiful outdoor ceremony, surrounded by our friends and family, I knew that I had made the right decision. Hange was my soulmate, and I was ready to spend the rest of my life making memories with him. As we sealed our love with a kiss, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause. We were met with a shower of rose petals and confetti, and I felt like I was on cloud nine. The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the magic of our love. As we walked back to our reception, Hange turned to me and whispered, "I have one more surprise for you, my little mate." I looked at him curiously, wondering what he had in store for me. He smiled mischievously and said, "You will just have to wait and see." I laughed and playfully rolled my eyes, knowing that with Hange, life was never dull. And as we danced into the night, surrounded by our loved ones, I knew that our love would forever be the guiding force in our lives.
