preparations for our big day

The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on Raven's face as she lay next to me. I couldn't help but smile at how peaceful she looked, her dark hair fanning out across the pillow like a halo of midnight. I brushed a strand of hair from her face, my fingers lingering on her soft skin. She stirred, her eyes fluttering open to meet mine.

"Good morning, love," she whispered, her voice still husky with sleep.

"Good morning," I replied, my heart swelling with affection. "Ready to start the preparations for our big day?"

She nodded, her smile radiant. "Absolutely. I can't wait to get everything ready."

We got out of bed and began our morning routine, savoring the simplicity of our shared moments. After a leisurely breakfast, we decided to sit down and make a list of everything that needed to be done. The list seemed endless, but the thought of planning our wedding filled us both with excitement.
