The doors to the chapel opened. Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” soared, and butterflies caught on the frayed nerves in my stomach.

I was getting married today.

Me, Alessandra Ferreira. Getting married.

I couldn’t wrap my head around the concept. I’d fantasized about my Prince Charming here and there as a child, and I’d lingered on pictures of pretty wedding dresses on Pinterest when I came across them as I got older, but I’d never imagined I would marry this young. I was only twenty-three, fresh out of college and trying to navigate the post-school world. What did I know about marriage?

The skirt of my white satin gown rustled with each step. It was a simple ceremony with no more than fifty guests in attendance, much to my mother’s chagrin, but neither Dominic nor I had wanted any extraneous fanfare.

Dominic. He stood at the altar, his hands clasped in front of him and his posture ramrod straight.

White jacket. Black pants. Rose boutonnière pinned to his lapel.

Devastating.

And when his gaze caught mine, holding it captive, my nerves fell away like autumn leaves in the wind. His muscles were visibly tense, but his face radiated so much love I could feel the warm tendrils wrap around me from halfway across the room.

People looked at him and only saw the harsh edges and cold exterior. They ruminated over why the daughter of a famous supermodel was dating a “nobody,” and they whispered about us getting married too young, too soon, and too quick.

I didn’t care. They could gossip all they wanted; I didn’t need their validation or extra time to know he was the one.

“Perfect,” Dominic whispered when I reached the altar.

I gave him a shy smile, my chest full to the point of bursting. Life contained few certainties, but at that moment, I was sure that I was the luckiest girl alive.
