The Traps of Black Swan

Aarvi was stunned as soon as the doors opened and her eyes caught the most gorgeous decor ever. She had imagined how beautiful her wedding could be with Aaron's attention to every detail but the lasting impression Aaron had created for her was out of the world. She even forgot to breathe looking at the winter wonderland he had created for her.

The hush falling in the hall or the gasp of Allie weren't enough to distract her attention away. She was lost in the wonderland before even stepping in there. 

A wedding aisle was lined with manzanita trees on either side. Each thin branch was decorated with faux snow just to make it feel as if it was an outdoor wedding on a cold snowy day. The crystal garlands were hanging on the branches to give the subtle festive look.

Her lips took an attractive curve knowing her husband was worried she might catch a cold. Her hand unawarely held his arm tighter as her eyes checked every detail Aaron had worked hard to bring to life.

If the floor of the aisle was plain white with rose petals spread, the sides were exquisitely designed with the faux snow imitating the real snow, candles were burning, giving the warm light, the white petals were in thin layers covering the whole floor with the faux snow. The crystal and the prisms were reflecting the light of the candles creating a cool ambiance and heart touching.

What she loved the most were the crystal snowflake details that were grabbing her eyes. 

Further inside, Aarvi felt her heart skip a beat looking at the chandelier. It was in a circular pattern crystal garland hanging down the circular thing imitating the icicles. The prism at the end was reflecting the lights making it look gorgeous and the center of the attraction.

While she admired the wedding hall, the guests and even Aaron had his eyes on her. She looked like an ice queen of the wonderland they were in. The mermaid-style gown had delicate lace against her porcelain skin. The gown defined her curves, elegantly hugging her lissom figure. The rhinestones, Swarovski, and diamonds having a pale blue tint were designed imitating the icicles on her shoulder. They sparkled the light brightening her dainty face.

Her lips were in red tint while her eyes felt magical under the blue shades as though they were because of the beauty around them. Her hair was loosely tucked in a bun adding delicate crystal hair accessories. The delicate tiara had the details of icicles and snow perfectly matching with the theme.

The white veil cascaded down to the floor in an arc on her dress trail making her look like a bride out of a fantasy book. 

As though the king was no less for the queen, Aaron's presence was hard to ignore. The guest could only smile looking at his eyes fixed on hers, never missing to adore his wife.

Aarvi felt a gentle tug at her hands. She saw Lara, grown so tall and looked prettier, easily walking on her feet. After leaving the mocon, she wasn't able to contact them. She was happy to see her all recovered. She was also surprised Lara remembers her. Though the innocence in her eyes wasn't the same anymore, her eyes still shone as in the past.

"Aunt Moon…" She smiled beautifully. 

Aarvi smiled back with her slender finger gently grazing her cheeks. Her eyes caught the corsage on her wrist. It was another beautiful masterpiece with the crystal snowflake, thin white ribbon, and small beads for a winter frosty look. She turned around holding the small basket. She threw the white rose petals and started walking when the music started.

Aarvi glanced at her groom whose eyes were glued on her. A bright smile flashed on her face before it hid behind her graceful smile. Aaron knew she would have leaped to his arms if the guests weren't there. Then her cheeks slowly turned pink like a shy bride.

"Shall we?"

Aarvi hummed, smiling through her eyes. Then the duo stepped inside and walked the aisle with two behind them at a distance. Martin tugged Allie whenever she tried to correct the bride's trail. She stomped his foot and spread the trail. Jaxon and his wife looked at each other, surprised to see those two.

Sean, who changed into a suit, quickly reached the table while making noise. He was probably the most stylish chef in the world. The mature touch of his appearance made him look handsome, and his refined style was attractive. 

"She is beautiful." He mumbled with a smile and heard Elder Harmon hum while correcting his glasses. There was a day Sean had dreamed of her walking the wedding aisle for him. Now, rather than wishing her in his life, he wished for her happiness in her life.

Shawn announced the beginning of the ceremony. Instead of marriage officiant reading for them, Shawn handed her a white booklet.

Aarvi smiled looking at the two papers. One was for Aaron, another for her. She was sure Aaron wrote them without forgetting her rarely uttered words. After a quick read of the gist, she closed the booklet and looked at her groom. She didn't have to read her wedding oath, she could make her own. Surprised, Shawn took the booklet and stood away.

Aarvi's emotional, melodious voice sounded in the silent hall, "I choose you and promise to choose you as my husband every day we wake. I will love you in word and deed. I will laugh with you, cry with you, scream with you, grow with you, and craft with you. To be your love and your partner in all of life's adventures. I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself, the good, the bad, and the yet to come. I will love you, my husband, and rejoice in your love for me for all of the years of our lives."

There was roaring applause in the hall while she smiled looking at her husband who was living his only dream. His Cupcake as his bride at their wedding.

Shawn was about to give the booklet to Aaron but paused. His brother spent the whole day writing it, so he was sure Aaron would show his love without the need for paper. He announced Aaron's turn when the applause died down.

His low voice had emotions masked in his alluring tone, "I promise to love you for who you are, and for who you are yet to become. I promise to be patient and to remember that all things between us are rooted in love. I promise to nurture your dreams and to help you reach them. I promise to fulfill your every wish how small and negligible it might be. I promise to share my whole heart with you and to remember to show you how deeply I care for you, no matter the challenges that may come our way. I promise to love you loyally and fiercely—" He lifted his hand and brushed the corner of her moist eyes as he completed, "-as long as I shall live."

There were smiles and continuous applause after his oath. Naomi, who was sitting with her family, smiled as she thought, 'He lives only for her.' Not just her, most of them knew Aaron's life was about her.

Suddenly they heard a loud cry which shifted everyone's attention to the source.
