Chapter 13 - Vows on the Canal
Two days after the Council summit, a breathtaking royal wedding was held at a private cathedral overlooking the Venetian lagoon.
The sun shone brightly over the water, casting golden light through stained-glass windows as classical violin music floated through the air.
Clara walked down the aisle in a custom white lace bridal gown with a long silk train, looking radiant, happy, and glowing with absolute beauty.
Standing at the altar in a tailored black velvet tuxedo was Lorenzo, his dark wavy hair styled back, his eyes watching her approach with endless love and devotion.
Little Mia walked ahead of her mother as the flower girl, wearing a tiny white dress, tossing rose petals onto the aisle while holding her plush rabbit in her other arm.
"I promise to honor you, protect you, and cherish our family with every breath I have," Lorenzo spoke softly, placing a heavy platinum wedding band on Clara's finger.
