Emily’s eyes lit up as she nodded eagerly. “Maybe a joint tradition—something that brings both our families together?” Her face glowed with hope, and for the first time, the thought of merging my traditions with hers felt natural. Together, we were shaping a future that truly belonged to us.

What had started as her request was transforming into a shared journey—a future we could shape together, full of promise and possibility.
