Sunlight and Anticipation
The afternoon sun streamed through the cathedral’s stained glass, scattering vibrant colors across the marble floor. Guests filled the pews, their whispers blending with the scent of fresh roses. At the altar, Thomas adjusted his tie, his heart racing with both nerves and love as he waited for Emily.
The Bride’s Entrance
The organist began the bridal march, and all eyes turned. Emily appeared, radiant in her ivory gown, her father guiding her proudly down the aisle. Thomas’s chest swelled with emotion, but then his joy shifted to confusion.
A Mysterious Movement
The gown rippled unnaturally, as though alive. Murmurs spread among the guests, and Thomas’s face paled. Emily, calm and smiling, locked eyes with him, though the motion persisted.
The Source Revealed
Stopping midway, she lifted her hem. Out peeked Muffin, the tabby kitten she had rescued. A collective laugh filled the cathedral as Emily blushed, exclaiming, “I told you she was mischievous!”
Joyful Resumption
With Muffin nestled safely in Emily’s arms, the vows continued—love sealed with laughter and a surprise guest.
