Sera smiles, "love you too Finn" she replies resting her head on his shoulder

---Timeskip---

The world seemed to hold its breath.

Sera stood at the edge of the aisle, heart pounding beneath the delicate lace of her gown. The white fabric shimmered subtly in the afternoon light, a soft breeze tugging gently at her veil. Her fingers tightened slightly around the bouquet in her hands, not from nerves—but from overwhelming emotion. Excitement. Peace. Love.

The music began to swell, and her breath caught in her throat.

There he was. Finn. Standing at the altar in his suit, his eyes locked on her as if nothing else existed. He looked beautiful, radiant in a quiet, steady way only he could manage—like the storm had passed and the sun had finally broken through.

Sera took her first step forward.

With every step she took, she could feel the memories rising with her—nights spent curled up in his arms, mornings filled with soft kisses and whispered promises, the tears and fears they’d weathered side by side. And now this moment, the one she’d dreamed of for so long, the one he had promised her with every word and every look since the moment he proposed.

She reached him, her hands trembling as she placed them in his. Her lips trembled into a smile as she looked up at him.

“I told you,” she whispered just for him, eyes shining. “You’re where my forever starts.”

Sera’s heart fluttered at the sight of him—her Finn, her future. The emotion in his eyes mirrored her own, and as she stepped closer, she felt the rest of the world fall away. There was only him. Only them.

Her hands slid into his, and the warmth of his touch grounded her.

Tears shimmered in her eyes as she met his gaze, hearing the soft promise leave his lips.

This was it. This was her forever. And she wouldn’t change a single thing.

Sera’s eyes never left Finn’s as he spoke, her heart thudding in rhythm with every word. His voice, so steady, so full of raw devotion, wrapped around her like the softest of embraces. Her breath caught more than once, her fingers tightening gently around his.

Tears welled in her eyes, but she didn’t try to hide them.

When it was her turn, she inhaled shakily, her voice quiet at first, but sure.

“Finn,” she began, “my light in the dark, my calm in the storm… I promise to stand by you—through every moment, beautiful or broken. I promise to love you in all the quiet ways and loud ones too. To hold you when the nights are heavy. To laugh with you when they’re light. I promise to grow with you, dream with you, and build the life we’ve always whispered about.”

She smiled through the tears, voice trembling but steady with truth.

“You are my home. And I promise, for the rest of our lives... I’ll never stop choosing you. Every day. Forever and always.”

Sera let out a soft, teary laugh, her heart blooming with warmth as she looked at the man she was about to spend her forever with. She lifted her hand and gently wrapped her pinky around his, her fingers small compared to his, but steady.

“Forever and always,” she whispered, her voice full of emotion. Her thumb brushed over his hand tenderly. “No matter what comes… I’ll be right beside you.”

And in that small, childish gesture sealed with so much love, she felt more certain than ever—this was the beginning of the life they had dreamed of.
