I found a comfortable seat and settled myself down, since today was the day for the awaited wedding.

Yeah, I know; it’s only been a few days since this crazy idea popped up.

I glanced at the mirror in front of me, and I saw the makeup artists approaching with their brushes and palettes. They were all looking beautiful and had huge makeup on their faces, to the point that I was terrified the moment they stepped in. I got to ask: were they running a test on themselves before they came here, or what?

“Good morning, Miss,” one of them greeted. She seemed to be the leader around here. “I’m Dayton, and we are all glad to be at your service.”

“That’s nice. Then you guys should get to work then. You know what they say: Time waits for nobody. “I gave them a silly laugh after those words.

“Don’t worry, miss; we’ll get this done in no time,” another one of them said, with a huge smile on

her face.

“And we’re going to make you the most beautiful creature in the world,” another said, moving her hand dramatically. I think I should know the names of these people.

After a little and humorous conversation, they began to apply makeup to my face, enhancing my natural features and giving me a radiant glow. Gentle movements, skillful hands.
