Chapter 20 - THE HUDSON RIVER WEDDING
On a breathtaking September afternoon, a grand outdoor wedding took place at an estate overlooking the Hudson River.
White silk canopies waved gently in the breeze as classical violin music floated across the manicured lawns.
Distinguished guests from business, philanthropy, and public service filled the rows of white wooden seats.
Adrian stood at the altar in his navy blue velvet tuxedo, his heart beating fast as the wedding march began to play.
Maya walked down the carpeted aisle on the arm of her brother Leo, looking radiant in a lace wedding gown.
Her long veil trailed behind her on the green grass, and her dark hair was styled in an elegant crown of pearls.
When she reached the altar, Adrian took her hands in his, gazing at her with profound devotion and awe.
"I promise to love, honor, and stand by you through every storm and every triumph," Adrian vowed emotionally.
"I promise to hold your heart as my greatest treasure for all the days of my life," Maya vowed softly in return.
The minister pronounced them husband and wife, prompting joyful cheers and applause from the gathered crowd.

Adrian pulled Maya close, kissing her deeply as white rose petals rained down over them in the sunlight.
