𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐄. 𝐈 contemplated the bright green grass beneath me, housing several distinctive plants that bloomed gracefully. 
Beside the altar covered in flowers in different shades of pastel colors, stood a rustic arts and crafts house that the couple had booked. It was large and vast, very suiting to the area. 
I breathed the garden-fresh breeze, allowing it to blow through my hair and mess it up just slightly. I stifled a laugh as Alex joined me. 
"Lovely, isn't it?" He gazed at the house, admiring the details with his scorching eyes. 
"Very lovely" I agreed, watching people pour inside in a large group. 
We weren't late, but we weren't exactly the first ones there. Many chairs were already taken but me and Alex sat in the third row. 
It wasn't until we were both seated that I noticed he was carrying a camera case around with him. 
"You couldn't just brought your phone and used it to take pictures?" I cleared my throat, watching him adjust the lenses. 
"Phones don't capture the moment like this baby does. The magic and grandeur of this professional camera cannot be compared to that of a cell phone. I want Zackery and Lola to have a transcendence to look back to" 
I stared at him in awe, not believing that such a considerate soul could step foot on this earth. He never failed to surprise me with everything he did. 
The thrill and the rush of blood of waking up and not knowing what to expect is what made him so appealing. 
"That's the sweetest thing, Alex" I blinked, catching his eye, triggering a smile from him. 
We were intercepted by a melodious tone playing naturally through the wind. Everybody rose to their feet and watched as Lola strolled through the altar in a magnificent dress, nothing like I'd ever seen. 
Their following vows certainly made me glance at Alex and realize that we all had a different way of experiencing love for other people. Their words were different than the ones I would've used but their impeccable meaning prevailed.
We all clapped as the newlyweds happily strode along the altar. Alex captured the moment delightfully. He chuckled at Zackery and gave him a heartfelt smile when they reached our side. And they walked into their new chapter of life.
