Ava's povI woke up before the sun had even risen on my wedding day. As I opened my eyes, I felt a rush of emotions wash over me like a tidal wave. I was excited, nervous, and anxious all at once. Months of meticulous planning had led up to this moment, and I couldn't shake the fear that something would go wrong. I sat up in bed and took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart.
