After getting ready, Maa came in. Looking at me, she performed a dhisti, took a katuka from her eyes, and placed it on my cheek, saying, "You're beautiful, Anvi." I smiled, taking her blessing, but instead of blessing me, she hugged me, saying, "My blessings will always be with you, Anvi, so give me a hug."

I smiled with tears, feeling grateful for the wonderful people in my life. Vaish looked at me and happily smiled, and Shri also hugged me.

After some time, I went down, making my way to the garden. There were many people there. I had previously told everyone that I wanted my marriage to be held with only close people, as I didn't want to see new faces on that day. I just wanted to enjoy some time on those auspicious days. Everyone agreed with me, so they made sure to invite all the people now itself.

There was a very huge crowd. Rishi walked beside me as I looked at Aan standing there in his traditional dress, looking handsome. He gave me a warm smile, which I returned with mine.

Midway, I ran to him, and he smiled, coming to get me. He caught both my palms and led me to the stage. I saw Rahul as the speaker for the day.

Rahul continued, "I am very happy to welcome you all to my brother and sister-in-law's engagement. Today marks the beginning of a beautiful journey for them filled with love and commitment. Let's give a heartfelt blessing to love, laughter, and a lifetime of happiness for the happy couple." I smiled at the crowd as Rahul announced, "Now, we move on to the ring exchange."

I showed Aan the ring I had personally made for him. His face lit up, clearly showing his love for the ring. He said, "I love this, Vie. I promise I will never take it off." Smiling, I put the ring on his ring finger.

Aan asked me, "Do you know why the ring is placed on this finger?" I shook my head, and he explained, "Because this finger's veins connect to the heart, Vie. And now, with this, you are claiming the ownership of my heart."

I smiled at him as he showed me the ring he bought for me. It was a beautiful, simple yet elegant ring with our initials engraved on it. It was the most beautiful thing, and I smiled with happy tears in my eyes as he put the ring on my finger.

Rahul then said, "Now, vows time." Aan urged me to go first, and despite my initial hesitation, he insisted, saying, "Come on, Vie, say it." I blushed, clearing my throat.

"Your love is like my guiding star, always pointing me to the comfort of your arms. Our love story feels like a night sky filled with your eyes, shining bright. With each heartbeat, I discover a home in your presence aan, and in your gaze, I see a world of endless love. Together, we create a beautiful story where your eyes are the stars, and our hearts dance under their glow, making every moment feel truly magical. I lobe you, Aan."

He had tears in his eyes, but he didn't let them fall. He smiled at me, kissed my forehead, and said, "With each beat of my heart, it echoes the language you taught me, Vie: true love. I lobe you with all my heart." I smiled, hugging him.

After all this, we got down from the stage, and soon we were pushed to meet various people. From time to time, I noticed Aan looking outside as if he was expecting someone. When we finally got some time alone, I asked him, "Aan, what's wrong? You look tense. Are you expecting anyone?"

He shook his head and replied, "No, Vie, of course not." I gave him a smirk, saying, "I know whom you're expecting, but don't worry; he will not show up."

He turned to look at me with wide eyes, asking, "What did you do, Vie?" I just shrugged, saying, "The thing which you should have done sooner, Aan." He already looked confused, so I added, "Just relax; we will talk about this later, okay?" He reluctantly nodded.
