We have her

My leg bounced incessantly, and I tapped my fingers against the arm of the chair, trying to shake off the nerves that had settled in my chest.
I wasn't nervous about marrying Aeliana of course not. She was the love of my life.
But there was something about the formality of it all, the grand expectations, and the knowing smirks of everyone around me that made my heart race.
The door creaked open, and my little sister Seraphine strolled in, followed by Riley, Lydia, and Aurelia. Seraphine, as usual, was a whirlwind of energy, her long blue hair flowing behind her as she practically skipped into the room.
