The Wedding
(Original Title: 出嫁)
My head was buzzing with thoughts as I prepared for my wedding night. I walked through the house, the weight of my decision pressing down on me. The thought of leaving behind my old life was daunting, yet thrilling. My heart raced as I stepped into the room, a mix of fear and excitement. Would this union be everything I hoped for, or merely a new chapter filled with unknown challenges? As the clock ticked, I braced myself for whatever awaited, determined to embrace the future with courage and grace.
