For a Wedding Gift
Were there stars in their eyes when they met? Was there a beat of music reverberating? Was the world quiet as a forest at midnight, or full of the rhythm and dance of a live band? What they will remember, though is the moment of ‘hello,’ when Heather and Chauncey shared the breath of possibility.
OR
The music reverberated through the speakers at a deafening volume, the kind your parents warned you about. Drinks were flowing, bodies were dancing. Through all this, across the room, a quiet moment as two sets of eyes locked in more than a passing embrace—Everett and Pearl found their own small speck of time to find each other through life’s oddly placed hallway.
OR
The Cyber Spaceships landed carefully on a sunny landmass on Earth. Passengers emerged with fear, eagerness, longing and a hint of adventure. This was a trek not particularly across stars, but miles of life. Nyx, in the greeting crowd, and Lunn, stepping into the sunlight, found their gazes and ever-widening smiles blooming a new love that traipsed the years.
