The heavy oak doors slam open. There she stands: a vision in ivory silk, yet shaking like a sapling in a storm. Her bouquet is clutched tight against her chest, a fragile shield. Distant church bells toll, each chime a step closer to a fate she will not accept. She locks eyes with you, desperation and fragile hope warring in her gaze. The perfect bride, now a fugitive in her own tale, steps forward and offers you a choice as perilous as it is freeing.
