Years ago, she’d cried in his lap after being bullied that no boy would ever take her to prom. And he had said, “One day, I will walk you down the aisle myself. Prom is nothing compared to that.”

Now, here they were.

Mr. Hills felt his throat tighten, remembering that little girl.

She felt his arm shake slightly under hers.

But she didn’t cry. Not yet.

They reached Bruno.

She stopped just behind him.

The music sounded louder.

She reached forward with her trembling hand and tapped his shoulder.

Bruno exhaled, tilted his head back with a smile, then turned.

When he saw her, he froze, and everything was still.

Only the artist's voice was heard.

“Time stands still…

Beauty is all she is…

I will be brave…

I will not let anything take away…

What's standing in front of me...

Every breath, every hour has come to this…

One step closer.”

He swallowed, holding his tears, then stepped forward and lifted the veil gently.

As soon as their wet eyes met—

“Hi, husband,”

Beauty sobbed.

Bruno leaned in a

    The music slowly faded, and the priest cleared his throat, adjusting his glasses.“Shall we begin now?” he said with a small smile.Everyone quieted.Bruno turned to Beauty, his hands gently holding hers. Their fingers locked, trembling slightly.They stared into each other’s eyes intensely, unblinking.Bruno exhaled softly; he was the first.“I’ve written these words a hundred times. Rehearsing them in my head, dreaming about this moment—yet standing here with you, none of them was enough to express how I feel.”He paused.“I don’t promise perfection. I promise presence. In laughter, in silence, in chaos… I’ll be there. I promise to be soft when you need comfort and strong when you need shelter. I promise to love you through every version of you, even the ones you haven’t met yet. My first and only love.”Tears slid down Beauty’s cheeks.He reached up, brushed them away gently with his thumb, and smiled through the heat in his own eyes.“I vow to protect your heart, to cherish your b

    A soft note rang out from the giant white piano that stood elegantly under the candle-lit pergola.It played a familiar song that the guests weren’t so sure about until Christina Perri’s voice joined in.They all cheered loudly, immediately recognizing the female artist.“It’s an honor to be here today to be part of this love, a love that will last a thousand years and more,”Christina said with a smile.Whispers spread like wildfire.“That’s Christina Perri.”“I saw Bruno Mars too… is he going to perform?”The instrumental sound grew louder and louder.And then—Beauty appeared.The audience stood up.Heads turned and phones raised.She took her first step forward, and Christina started singing.“Heartbeat fast.Colors and promises.How to be brave.How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?”Beauty followed the lyrics with her footsteps.Her gown trailed behind her like a large river of starlight.The aisle was large enough to contain her long, endless gown.Over her face, the veil floa

    Location: SANTORINI, GREECEThe late evening breeze blew gloriously over the sea.Perched on a cliffside on a private island in Greece, the wedding venue glittered like a scene from a fairytale.Crystal chandeliers dangled from floral arches of ivory roses and peonies, their light refracting over gold-trimmed marble tiles.The aisle shimmered with crushed diamond dust and blush rose petals, forming a path fit only for royalty.Models, both voluptuous and slender, all dazzling in pretty custom swan princess gowns, glided in a syncing choreography across the venue like performers.Each one handed the guests sparkling drinks and attended to their needs with courtesy.Bruno stood at the front, hands clasped behind him, facing the other direction, waiting for his bride's tap on the back.He was perfectly dressed in a white suit, and his hair styled like a charming prince.His face was calm, but his posture said otherwise.Eric, standing beside him, leaned closer and whispered,“Hey, be hon

    “Maybe. But I want you so bad it hurts. Just once, Jessie. Just once…please..”She whispered.Jessie backed away quickly with force this time breaking out of Kathy's arms.“I need to leave. Now. I am the older one here, I shouldn't be encouraging this nonsense.”Kathy stepped back slowly, eyes never leaving hers.“I’ll be leaving F&F this summer.”Jessie froze. Her lips parted, but no words came out at first. The silence between them thickened.“You’re leaving?” she asked in disbelief. “Is this your way of emotionally blackmailing me?”“No,” Kathy replied sadly.“You just don’t know how hard it is to be around you. Every day. Pretending I don’t feel this. That I don’t want you.”“You gotta be kidding me. That's a silly reason to leave”.Jessie said and inhaled deeply. “Kathy, you’re allowed to love whoever your heart wants. But choosing me?” She scoffed. “Bad choice. I mean, I get that I may enjoy the men-with-men thing. But women with women? That’s just… boring to me. I can't deal

    “Sorry about that, Kathy,”Beauty said gently.Kathy gave a sad smile and nodded.“I guess I should go talk to her,”she murmured.Beauty sighed, not sure if it's a good idea.“I don't think she would—”“Beauty, let her go. They need to talk it out,”Shelley interjected.“Alright… good luck,”Beauty replied with a soft, supportive smile.---Kathy stepped into the bathroom. Jessie was standing in front of the mirror, adjusting her hair. The moment their eyes met, Jessie cursed inwardly and turned sharply, intending to leave.“Just a minute, please,”Kathy’s voice was low and pleading.Jessie froze, then turned back slowly, forcing a tight, awkward smile.“Hey, Kathy… good to see you too.”“I hate that I made you uncomfortable… because of my own selfish needs.”Kathy dropped her eyes, voice trembling.Oh God, don’t do this, Jessie thought, her chest tightening. Why is Kathy suddenly soft? Since when does the arrogant queen turn into a dove?“I’m sorry, Jessie. I’m so sorry.”Kathy’s vo
