Present Day...
Samantha gazed into the mirror, her smile radiant as she admired her reflection. The blissful joy of the day lit up her milky-toned complexion, and her angelic wedding gown seemed to shimmer with magic.
This was her moment—her day to shine.
The makeup artist carefully worked her magic, dusting Samantha's cheeks with a touch of blush.
Suddenly, the soft creak of the door drew Samantha's attention. She turned her head slightly, mindful not to smudge her makeup.
It was Stephanie, her soon-to-be sister-in-law, stepping inside with a beaming smile.
"Oh, my! Doesn't she look absolutely stunning?" Stephanie gushed as she approached, her admiration evident in every word.
Samantha chuckled softly and met Stephanie's gaze in the mirror. "I know," she teased playfully, her tone laced with mischief. "Your brother won't have a choice but to adore me today."
