The bride slipped away from the reception, following a whistle of wind coming from the glowing piazza. A merry-go-round spun, golden and dizzying. She laughed out loud; could this night be real?

Forgotten now her bucket of worries and sponge-full of doubt. All of it, gone.

Her groom found her there… breathless, euphoric.

No carousel could ever upstage this magical moment.
