The sound of the alarm beeping signaled the arrival of five a.m. Time to wake up and get dressed. She wished she could have a few more minutes of sleep. Exhaustion blanketed her. That's what you get when you spend half the night worrying whether you've done everything for a wedding that's only a few hours away. No matter how many times she'd gone over the details in her head, she still couldn't help but worry. Could anyone blame her? It was only the most important day of her and Blake's life. Eyes still shut, she rolled over and turned off the alarm clock. Today, hitting the snooze button was not even an option. She looked at the empty space on the other side of the bed and placed her hand on it. They'd decided they would spend the night before the wedding apart. She didn't believe in superstitions, but she still wanted to do it. Them being away from one another would make her walk down the aisle all the more special. A fresh beginning to their new life as husband and wife. A new start to their future.
