Madisyn stared at herself in the mirror. The girl reflected back at her was barely recognizable. The wedding dress fit her so perfectly that it seemed as though Cinderella's fairy godmother had sewn and tailored it just for her. Her makeup was simple yet detailed—the eyeliner intensified her gaze, and her perfectly styled hair framed her face beautifully. The nude lipstick complemented her blush and complexion flawlessly. After two and a half hours in the makeup chair, the transformation was complete.

She smiled at her reflection in the mirror. "I finally did it," she whispered, swallowing hard as her heart fluttered in her chest. Happiness manifested in the form of a luxurious mermaid wedding dress. This was finally the day.

"I'm marrying the man of my dreams." Her eyes filled with tears as joy and happiness surged through her heart.
