The wedding ceremony was scheduled for 4:00 PM, followed by the reception inside the ballroom. By early morning, the stylists, the event planners, decorators, and security team were already at the hotel, putting the final details in place. The ballroom was being prepared for the reception, while the outdoor ceremony area was being transformed with a long, elegant mirrored aisle leading toward the altar, reflecting the sky and surrounding greenery. Both sides of the aisle were lined with lush arrangements of white flowers, creating a soft, elegant border that stretched all the way toward the altar. Rows of white chairs were arranged neatly on either side for their families and guests.
Matteo looked back at Adrian as he began to stir, a sleepy sigh escaping his lips.
Matteo squeezed his hand gently, a wide smile spreading across his face as he watched him.
Slowly, Adrian opened his eyes and blinked against the morning light.
"Good morning, my love," Matteo murmured.
