The garden glowed under the warm sun as guests gathered beneath a graceful white canopy for Emily and Jack’s wedding. Rows of roses lined the aisle, their scent mingling with the anticipation in the air. Emily appeared radiant in her ivory gown, lace and pearls shimmering as her eyes met Jack’s.
Halfway down the aisle, she suddenly stopped. The music fell silent, and murmurs rippled through the crowd as her dress began to move strangely. Lily, her maid of honor, bent down to look—only to see Max, Emily’s mischievous kitten, darting out, sparking gasps and laughter.
Jack’s alarm turned to amusement. “Looks like Max wanted to be part of the ceremony,” he joked. Emily handed the kitten to Lily and continued down the aisle, smiling. The unexpected moment became the most memorable part of the day, a joyful reminder that surprises can make love and life even more unforgettable.
