She helps me to dress, and when I turn around, she glances at me.
“Wow, stunning, but see for yourself.”
My reflection leaves me speechless. My hair falls in gentle curls over my breasts, revealing a modest V-neckline. My gaze trails down the body-shaping pristine fabric that ends in a fishtail train pooling on the carpet. Beaded lace appliques finish the look and give it that extra touch. I picture Damien standing next to me, smiling in approval.
“It's perfect,” I say, my voice shaky, heavy with emotions.
“Shall I dare ask you if this is the one?”
“It is the one.” Her full, rosy lips curl into a smile.
“Were you also so quick and sure about your fiancé?”
“Yes, for me, it has only ever been him.”
“He sounds special,” she says and tilts her head at me, and I answer to her reflection in the mirror.
“He is.”
“Should we show them your choice?”
I nod. I still as I step toward them, their gazes following me, while they place their glasses of champagne down.
“Honey, you look breathtaking,” my mother says, her voice full of emotion.
“I have no words. I have never seen anything more beautiful than you right now.”
My father’s eyes glisten, and I can’t control my emotions or my tears. I rush to them and kiss both of their cheeks.
“I love you so very much.”
I stand back and the rest of my family chimes in.
“Bria, there are no words to describe how beautiful you look,” says Rebecca.
I put my arms around my future in-laws, and they hold me tight.
“What do you think?” I ask Quinn.
“It’s like I’m looking at an angel.”
I place my hand on my heart. He knows the meaning. It still beats in my chest because he made sure of it.
“You look stunning, sis,” says Filip.
Alex pats his chest, no words. He loves me, I love him. It’s enough the way it is between us.
Nose to nose, hugging each other, Sophia whispers, “You look out-of-this-world beautiful.”
“I’m so thrilled for you,” chimes Sarah.
“You look beautiful.”
“Thank you, Chloe.”
“And for the finishing touch,” Beatrice says while approaching me. She places an elegant cathedral length veil with silver embroidery and beads on my head. It complements the dress well, and it gives me an ethereal appearance. I love it, and I’m beyond ready to marry the man of my dreams.
When the emotions settle, everyone cheers and return to their flutes of champagne while I retreat to the changing room and send Damien a text.
