The Perfect Beginning
The wedding hall shimmered under crystal chandeliers. Guests clinked glasses, the scent of roses floated in the air, and laughter rippled like music. The bride glowed in her ivory gown, the groom’s gaze never leaving her face. Everything looked like a fairytale—perfect, flawless, untouchable.

The room reacted instantly. Women covered their noses, men frowned, children whispered.
