A warm ocean breeze drifted in through the window of Stacie’s bridal suite. The day she’d been waiting for her entire life had finally arrived and even though there were butterflies in her stomach, she felt a steady calm come over her. The buzz of her friends and family getting ready only made her more excited and more sure of the hours ahead.

Later that afternoon, Ray stood waiting in an intimate pathway near where the ceremony would be held. He could barely stand the anticipation of seeing Stacie for the first time as a bride. When she finally did tap him on the shoulder, his heart leapt and he blushed as he laid eyes on her. She looked even more beautiful than he’d imagined.

Stacie and Ray’s family and friends gathered on a rooftop overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Stacie’s smile was infectious, and every heart on that deck was filled with joy for the happy couple. Their personally written vows even invoked a few tears. They exchanged rings, shared a kiss and at last, they were one.
