"We made it this far," She has a blush, "I know," Her shyness he does so hush. "My emotions," she trembles, "I cannot explain," "I know," he nods, "Only one thing remain," "I love you," She admits, "More than my mother," "And I," He agrees, "Could never love another." "A promise," she nods, "I hope you'll keep," "I cannot," he soothes, "See you weep."

"Do you, Liliana Oleander," The Paster begin, "Accept Arlon Florian as your own kin?" "I do," She nods, "All my heart, I do," "To love, to honour, be faithful and true." "And do you, Arlon Florian," The Paster continue, "Accept Liliana Oleander, with all within you?" "I'll never lie," He nods, "To my wife," "I will love, honour, cherish, to the end of my life."

"Husband and wife," The paster completes the oath, "At long last, you may kiss one another both." Their heads lean closer and their lips connect, And cheers erupt, more than either expect. Colourful confetti launches into the sky, Liliana, the wife, cannot help but cry. "What's wrong?" Arlon asks, "Is the crowd too yappy?" "It's not that," She smiles, "I'm just so happy."

Once again, I found myself immersed in the digital canvas, bringing to life the vibrant characters that dance in the realms of my imagination. This time around, it was the ever-charming Arlon and Liliana, the embodiments of my idealised romantic tale. These characters, more than mere drawings, had become the mascots of my perception of love, and with each stroke of my stylus, I endeavoured to encapsulate the essence of their enchanting connection. Knowing that through my art, I was able to convey the depth of their emotions and the intricacies of their relationship.

In this particular creation, the spotlight shone on Arlon and Liliana's union, a celebration of love immortalised in the form of a wedding portrait. The setting was a picturesque gazebo nestled within the confines of a dreamy garden—a testament to the idyllic backdrop I envisioned for this momentous occasion. What set this piece apart was the ethereal quality lent to it by Liliana's bridal veil, which draped over the newlywed couple, enveloping them in a cocoon of matrimonial bliss. Their union was a visual spectacle and a narrative journey that unfolded within the intricate details of this digital masterpiece.

As the creator behind this artistic narrative, I found solace in the symbolism embedded in every pixel. Arlon and Liliana stood hand in hand, a visual embodiment of the harmonious bond that existed between them. The bouquet of white roses they held was not just a prop; it was a representation of purity, a thematic element carefully chosen to echo the sincerity of their love. The garden setting itself spoke volumes, a metaphorical landscape where the seeds of their affection had blossomed into the vibrant flowers that surrounded them.

Yet, amid my creative satisfaction, I acknowledged the imperfections that lingered, like shadows in the brilliance of my artistic endeavour. One such detail that lingered in my mind was the rendering of Liliana's wedding veil. Its opacity, a subtle yet crucial element, I still need to improve it. I will make a note to myself to work on improving the opacity of Liliana's wedding veil in my artwork, as it is an important detail that I feel could be better. Despite this imperfection, the garden setting and the vibrant flowers symbolize the depth and beauty of their love, creating a metaphorical landscape that speaks volumes about their affection.

Delving deeper into the narrative, the gazebo itself became a pivotal element in the story I was telling. Its intricate design manifested my desire to create a space that encapsulated the sanctity of Arlon and Liliana's union. Every curve and arch told a tale of devotion, a silent witness to the vows exchanged beneath its sheltering embrace. The play of light and shadow within this virtual structure added layers to the narrative, emphasising the ephemerality of the moment captured in the digital realm. The intricate design became a metaphor for the complexity of their relationship, reflecting both their shared history and the challenges they faced.

The choice of a wedding portrait as the subject matter was deliberate, a conscious decision to freeze a moment in time that echoed the eternal nature of true love. Arlon and Liliana's smiles, the tender gaze they exchanged—all frozen in the digital amber of my creation. The digital canvas, a timeless medium that allowed me to transcend temporal constraints, served as the perfect vessel for this artistic expression. The vibrant colours and intricate details in the portrait further emphasise the depth of their connection, capturing not just their physical appearance but also the essence of their love. It was a testament to the power of art to immortalise emotions and create a lasting legacy for future generations to admire and cherish.

As I navigated the intricate world of digital artistry, I pondered the significance of each stroke and hue. My commitment to my literary endeavours mirrored the meticulous attention I bestowed upon my artistic creations. Much like the delicate balance between formality and casual creativity in my writing, my artwork strived to find equilibrium in every detail, ensuring that the observer could glean not just the visual spectacle but the profound narrative interwoven into the pixels. With every brushstroke and pixel, I aimed to create a captivating experience that would resonate with the viewer on a deeper level.

In the final strokes of my artistic odyssey, I revisited the challenge presented by the wedding veil's opacity. It was not just a technicality; it was a quest for perfection, a testament to my unwavering commitment to my craft. Adjusting the nuances, refining the transparency, and breathing life into the digital threads of Liliana's veil, I realised that the pursuit of artistic excellence was an ongoing journey—one where each creation paved the way for the next. As I stood back and admired the final result, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment. It was a reminder that true artistry lies not only in the finished product but also in the growth and evolution that come with each artistic endeavour.

As they reached their legal age, something remarkable was apparent. They have exceeding beauty that despite being old enough, they still looked like they were teens. It was a source of constant amusement for those who knew them, and even strangers often mistook them for teens. Their youthful appearance seemed to defy the passage of time, causing many to wonder about the secret behind their ageless beauty. However, their outward appearance was merely a reflection of the timeless love and joy they shared, which radiated from within and kept them forever young at heart. However, appearances could be deceiving. both of them, who looked like a teenager, had a maturity beyond her years. She thought and acted like an adult from a very young age, guiding and nurturing her relationship with Arlon.

The year of their wedding had arrived. Liliana was now 18, and Arlon had just turned 17, yet they still retained their youthful looks. This early marriage was a tradition rooted in their culture, often taking place at an age even younger than theirs. The unique aspect of their union was that their wedding date fell on June 17th, which also happened to be their shared birthday. A rare and special alignment of dates that held great significance for them. The couple believed that this shared birthday and wedding date symbolised their deep connection and meant that they were destined to be together. As Liliana walked down the aisle on their special day, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the unique bond they shared and the promising future ahead of them.

Pastor Steinwald then asks Arlon "Arlon Florian, do you take Liliana Oleander as your beloved wedded wife and live together in God's holiness in full commitment?"

Arlon responds, "Yes, I do. With all my heart and soul, I promise to love and cherish Liliana for the rest of our days, seeking God's guidance in every step we take together."

Pastor Steinwald then asks Liliana "Liliana Oleander, do you take Arlon Florian as your beloved wedded husband and live together in God's holiness in full commitment?"

Liliana responds with a smile and sparkling eyes, "Yes, I do. With all my being, I vow to love and honour Arlon for the rest of our lives, relying on God's strength to guide us through all the joys and challenges that lie ahead."

Pastor Steinwald, with a warm and encouraging smile, turned his attention to Arlon and Liliana. "Arlon and Liliana, it is now time for you to join hands and make your vows to one another. The moment you've been waiting for has arrived."

Liliana, with a radiant smile, nodded in agreement. The moment was filled with a profound sense of love and anticipation.

Arlon and Liliana faced each other, their gazes locked in an unspoken language of devotion. Liliana, with the grace of a bride, gently pulled Arlon beneath her wedding veil, symbolising their unity under one shared destiny. They were cocooned in the embrace of the veil, a tangible representation of their intertwined lives. As they stood together, surrounded by few people, the couple could feel the weight of their past, present, and future intertwining in that moment. It was a powerful reminder of the journey they had embarked on together and the promises they had made to each other. They turned to face each other, their hands coming together as they held each other close. Under the white wedding veil that enshrouded them both, their figures were merged into one, symbolising their deep unity and love.

With tender affection, Liliana placed her hands on Arlon's cheek, gently tilting his face to meet her gaze. Her eyes sparkled like glittering sapphires as they locked onto his, a reflection of the love that had grown within her since their childhood. Arlon reciprocated the gesture, his eyes filled with unwavering devotion. In that moment, surrounded by their loved ones, they felt the weight of their shared journey and the promise of a future filled with endless possibilities. The world around them seemed to fade away as they embraced, knowing that their love would guide them through any challenges that lay ahead.

Liliana began her vow, her voice trembling with emotion, and tears of happiness streamed down her cheeks. With each word, she laid bare her soul, expressing the profound love that had grown between them since childhood.

"Arlon," she began, her voice quivering with emotion, "my dearest Arly, I love you more than words can express. From the very first moment we met as children, I knew that you were special. Your unique character and the beautiful way your mind works, including your autism, have always been a source of wonder and admiration for me. It's those very traits that drew me closer to you, making me fall deeply in love with the person you are. I cherish our shared memories and the countless moments we've spent together, each one etching itself into my heart. Our bond is unbreakable, and I am grateful every day for the profound love that has blossomed between us. You are my soulmate, Arlon, and I am forever grateful to have you by my side."

Arlon's eyes were filled with a mixture of love, gratitude, and understanding. He held her close in return, a silent affirmation of his love and commitment. In that moment, they both knew that their love was a rare and precious gift, one that would endure any challenge that life threw their way. They had weathered storms together, supporting and uplifting each other through thick and thin. Their unwavering love and unbreakable bond gave them the strength to conquer any obstacle, knowing that they were stronger together than apart. As they embraced, their hearts overflowed with a deep sense of gratitude for the extraordinary love they had found in each other. They vowed to continue cherishing each other and nurturing their relationship, knowing that their bond would only grow stronger with time.

Liliana continued her monologue, her words painting a picture of their incredible bond. "You've become my sweetheart, my baby, my teddy bear, my hug pillow, my obsession, and my beloved pet, all rolled into one. Every day spent with you feels like a dream come true, and I can't imagine my life without you. Your presence brings me comfort, joy, and a sense of completeness that I've never experienced before. You truly are the missing piece to my puzzle, and I am eternally grateful for our extraordinary connection. Arlon, I've cherished every moment we've shared, from our days as childhood best friends to this beautiful day where we pledge our love for eternity. I promise to be your pillar of strength, your partner in all things, and your unwavering source of love and support. You've filled my life with boundless love and joy, and I can't imagine my world without you."

With love shining in her eyes, Liliana took Arlon's right hand, her fingers gently placing a diamond wedding ring in his palm. She held his hand tightly, her gaze unwavering as she spoke her vow. "So I, Liliana, take you, my beloved Arlon, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward. I promise to stand by your side through the joys and sorrows of life, for better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health. I vow to love and cherish you, my Arlon, and I desire to be bound to you even after our time on this earth ends. I want our love to transcend the boundaries of life and death, for I want to be with you, under God's blessings for all eternity. And by this ring, you are consecrated to me according under the blessing of the Almighty."

Under the veil that enveloped the couple, Liliana wrapped her arms around Arlon's shoulder, drawing him close as he began his heartfelt monologue. Arlon gazed into Liliana's eyes, his expression filled with love and gratitude. He spoke of the countless memories they had created together, the challenges they had overcome, and the dreams they still wished to pursue. He thanked Liliana for always being his rock, his confidante, and his biggest supporter. Arlon's voice trembled with emotion as he promised to cherish her forever and to continue building a life full of love, laughter, and shared adventures. Liliana felt her heart swell with joy, knowing that their love was stronger than ever and that their future held endless possibilities.

He began, his voice unwavering, "Liliana, I want you to know how truly grateful I am to have you by my side. Your love, understanding, and support mean the world to me. Living with autism hasn't always been easy, but you, my best friend and beloved, have been my anchor. Even when I struggled to socialise or had a strained relationship with my biological parents, you were there to guide me through. You've shown me that love is about accepting and cherishing each other for who we are, and for that, I am eternally grateful. I love you more than words can express, and I promise to be by your side always, my dearest Liliana. Your unwavering support has given me the strength to face life's challenges head-on and push past the barriers that autism can sometimes create. Your patience and understanding have allowed me to grow and flourish as an individual, and I can't imagine where I would be without you. Your ability to see beyond my diagnosis and embrace all aspects of who I am has taught me the true meaning of acceptance and unconditional love. Together, we have created a beautiful bond built on trust and mutual respect, and I am confident that our love will continue to thrive for years to come. I am truly blessed to have you in my life, my dearest Liliana."

His monologue was a testament to the profound love and understanding that bound them together. It was a love that had grown through challenges and triumphs, and now, it was being solemnized in this beautiful ceremony. As they stood before their loved ones, exchanging vows and promising to support each other through thick and thin, it was evident that their journey had led them to this moment of pure bliss. Their commitment to each other was a reflection of the acceptance and unconditional love they had for one another. As the ceremony concluded, their hearts were filled with gratitude for the love they had found, knowing that it would only continue to flourish as they embarked on this new chapter of their lives together.

With love shining in his eyes, Arlon took Liliana's right hand and placed a diamond wedding ring on her finger. He held her hand firmly, his voice unwavering, as he made his vow. "So I, Arlon, take you, my beloved Liliana, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward. I promise to stand by your side through all the chapters of our life together, for better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health. I vow to love and cherish you, my Liliana, and I desire for our love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. By this ring, you are consecrated to me under the blessings of the Almighty."

The words were a solemn promise of enduring love and devotion, a commitment to cherish each other for a lifetime and beyond. As they exchanged rings, their eyes locked with unwavering determination, knowing that their love would withstand any challenge that came their way. They understood that their bond was not just for the good times, but also for the difficult moments when sickness or hardship might test their commitment. With hearts full of hope and unwavering faith in their love, they embarked on a journey together, ready to face whatever life had in store for them. With these vows, they embarked on a journey of unconditional love, ready to create a legacy that would be remembered for generations to come.

Pastor Steinwald, with a serene smile, announced, "Very well then, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss each other."

Still concealed beneath the wedding veil, Arlon and Liliana shared a tender and passionate kiss on each other's lips and a tight long bear hug, their love sealed with this beautiful gesture. The small group of witnesses, their friends, and the overseers erupted in applause and cheers, celebrating the union of this extraordinary couple. As the applause died down, Arlon and Liliana exchanged heartfelt vows, promising to support and cherish each other through thick and thin. Their love radiated throughout the room, leaving everyone in awe of their bond. The witnesses couldn't help but feel inspired by their love story, knowing that it would be remembered for generations to come.
