A Simple Ceremony
In the heart of the glade, with only their trusted friends as witnesses, Aurelia and Charming exchange vows, their love sealed in a heartfelt ceremony.
The air in the hidden glade shimmered, not with magic from a wand, but with the pure, untarnished glow of love.

Beside him, Lady Beatrice, her eyes sparkling with unshed tears of joy, clutched a small bouquet of wildflowers, their colors as vibrant as Aurelia’s own spirit. These were the only witnesses to the most important promise their hearts had ever made.
Aurelia, no longer adorned in the heavy silks and jewels of royalty, wore a simple gown of softest linen, the color of moonlight. Her usually elaborate braids were woven with delicate ivy, and a single, perfect rose rested near her temple. Her heart beat a joyful rhythm against her ribs, a song only Charming could truly hear.
