Engagement party

The grand hall was breathtaking. As Elara and I stood at the top of the sweeping staircase, waiting for our names to be announced, I couldn't help but take in the sheer opulence of the space.

The room had been transformed into a vision of elegance, every detail meticulously planned to perfection.

Soft golden light poured from an elaborate crystal chandelier that hung high above the center of the hall, its countless facets scattering the light like stars.

The walls were draped in rich emerald-green fabric, accented with shimmering gold trim that mirrored the Montrose family crest subtly woven into the decor.

Tall arrangements of white lilies and roses stood on gilded pedestals, their fragrant scent mingling with the faint aroma of the lavish buffet spread along one side of the room.

Round tables draped in ivory silk tablecloths filled the space, each adorned with ornate centerpieces of gold candelabras and cascading greenery.
