Ivanna stood outside the church under the starry sky with fireworks illuminating the night air. As a Russian girl from Moscow, I'd grown accustomed to the cold and darkness but there was something special about this moment - the freedom of being away from my family's expectations and embracing my own desires.
As an 18-year-old, I've learned that one must take risks in order to truly live life to its fullest. This New Moon evening felt like a new beginning for me, full of untold possibilities. It was as if the universe was putting on a show just for me - fireworks and stars exploding above me like they were mirroring my inner desires.
I couldn't help but laugh and giggle at the beauty of it all, feeling liberated from the constraints of society's norms. My red hair seemed to glow in the dark light, braided high atop my head like an intricate crown. As I knelt there in my bridal gown - yes, a wedding dress! - I felt like a queen ready to take on whatever life had in store for me.
