September arrived, and for Joseph ("J.J." ) Jadeja, the month had a single focus: his daughter's wedding. Eager to entrust the "Cherish" family legacy to the next generation and step back from his empire, he orchestrated the celebration despite the couple still being students. Honoring both their heritages, the wedding would blend Catholic and Hindu traditions. š
The preparations were momentarily punctuated by Hazon's outstanding first-year results, a clean sweep of A's and A+ grades that affirmed Joseph's faith in his character. With his exams conquered, Hazon used his September study leave to prepare for his new life.
September 16th dawned with mercifully mild weather. In a sun-dappled church, a poignant silence fell as Mr. Jadeja led a radiant Seya down the aisle and placed her hand in Hazon's. The priest's solemn words were met with the couple's clear, confident vows. The exchange of rings and a tender kiss sealed their commitment, sparking joyful applause from their gathered families and friends. š¤µš»š°š»
During the festive exit, Seya tossed her bouquet. It sailed through the air in a graceful arc, landing unerringly in the hands of a blushing, smiling Ariana, met with cheers and knowing glances. As the newlyweds departed under a shower of flower petals, the air was thick with blessings, marking the beautiful start of a union that bridged two worlds. š
