Curiosity filled my eyes as I observed her every step. “What are these for, Silver?” I inquired, my voice laced with intrigue. She turned to face me, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. “Well, my dear,” she began, her voice gentle yet firm, “it is considered essential for a new bride to wear a plain white dress on her wedding night.
