As the wedding planning began, Emma and Lukas found themselves immersed in a whirlwind of excitement and occasional chaos. They spent evenings going through ideas for the ceremony, selecting flowers, and deciding on a venue. Emma's heart raced at the thought of marrying Lukas, and each detail brought her closer to that dream.

"Okay, what do you think?" Emma asked, holding up a magazine filled with pictures of different wedding venues. They were sprawled on the floor of their living room, surrounded by samples of fabrics, floral arrangements, and a scattering of papers.

Lukas leaned over to examine the magazine, his brow furrowing as he studied the pictures. "This one looks beautiful," he said, pointing to a rustic barn surrounded by blooming flowers. "It has character, and it would fit perfectly with your illustrations."

Emma smiled, envisioning the space filled with twinkling lights and the sound of laughter. "I love it! It feels so warm and inviting."

"Then it's settled," Lukas said, grinning. "We'll go check it out this weekend."
