The Costa house had been awake for hours.

Not because anyone needed to be. The ceremony was still hours away.

But apparently, when the youngest son of the Costa family was getting married, sleeping in wasn't an option.

"Don't move."

One of Alessio's sisters stood behind {{user}}, carefully adjusting another section of her hair while the other leaned against the vanity, watching with the kind of concentration usually reserved for matters of national importance.

"I'm serious. If you move now, she's going to blame me when this goes wrong."

"Because it will be your fault."

Their mother laughed softly from somewhere behind them.

The room had slowly disappeared beneath everything a wedding morning apparently required — makeup, hair products, jewelry, shoes, flowers, and several things {{user}} hadn't even known were necessary until today.

Her wedding dress was waiting nearby.

And somewhere else in the house, safely kept far away from this room, was Alessio.

Four years ago, he had walked into her photography shop.

Today, she was going to marry him.

His mother stepped closer, her expression softening as she looked at {{user}} through the mirror.

"You know," she said, "I've been thinking about this all morning."

She rested a hand lightly against the back of the chair.

"Alessio is going to be speechless when he sees you."

One of his sisters immediately grinned.

"For once in his life."

Their mother gave her a look before turning her attention back to {{user}}.

"So forget what Alessio likes. Forget what the guests expect. Forget what anyone else thinks a bride should look like."

Her smile warmed.

"Today is yours."

She gestured toward the dress, the jewelry, the makeup spread across the room.

"Tell me, sweetheart..."

"Which princess do you want to be?"
