With her four best friends gathered around her, Lindsay put on her veil. She took a deep breath, and in came the reality of the day. It hit her all at once. This was her wedding day. In just a few minutes, she’d be seeing her groom for the very first time, and she could hardly believe she had found a man so loving, so compassionate, and so incredibly kind to spend the rest of her life with. She couldn’t wait to see him. As she gave a final hug to her bridesmaids, her dad entered the room carrying a gift. Her groom had sent her something to open before their first moments together. She unwrapped the small box to find a beautiful bracelet waiting inside. She took another deep breath, and just as she looked up, she noticed her dad was holding something else. Another gift. And this one didn’t fit in a box. Before she had a chance to register what was happening, the music from the tablet started to play, and she watched the snapshots, memories, and stories from their life together, slowly unfold on the screen. Her bridesmaids huddled close as all the girls watched the slideshow, and in between the notes of the music, all you could hear were small sniffles and the girls holding onto each other just a little tighter. Lindsay’s eyes welled with tears, and when Fedy came on the screen with a personal message recorded just for her, the tears streamed down her face. He told her how he loved her. That he was still surprised by how beautiful she was every time he saw her, even after all this time. How he couldn’t wait to spend the rest of their life together. And in that one gift, he encapsulated everything she loved about him all at once. She wiped a final tear, then took one more breath as she headed out the door to see the man she couldn’t wait to marry.
