Magical Moments

 

On a rainy day in the heart of a village, a young couple exchanged their vows under a beautiful white chapel. The raindrops pattered against the dust, creating a soothing melody and filling the air. Despite the unfavorable weather, the couple was happy about the partner, their love for each other shone brighter than the darkest clouds.

As the ceremony came to a close, the guests made their way to the reception, where the dance floor was surrounded by twinkling lights and elegant floral arrangements. The newlyweds swayed back and forth to a slow song, the raindrops on the roof of the chapel creating a romantic atmosphere.

As the night came to an end and the guests said their goodbyes, the couple looked back on the beauty and magic of the day. They knew that the rain brought them happiness and they will be forever grateful for the rain that blessed their special day.

Our wedding story is a story of love, perseverance and hope. It's a reminder that even on the darkest days, love will always find a way to shine.

The Honeymoon

 

We unfortunately could not go on honey moon as we could not afford it and we had to return to work after the wedding and also be on standby for work during our December holiday.
