On a seasonally warm summer day in Arizona, Cece, surrounded by her best girlfriends on the 14th floor of a downtown Phoenix hotel, began her wedding day preparations. With a getting ready playlist bumping, the laughter of bridesmaids playing dress-up filled the air. The atmosphere was alive with that unique blend of pre-wedding excitement and joyful anticipation. Inside, the air carried that heady mix of anticipation and joy, the kind that makes time feel both fast and still. Today was the day she would marry her best friend, and every candid glance, every warm touch, every heartbeat was part of a story only the two of them could tell.
