As they stopped in front of a shop, the warm glow of string lights illuminated the elegant sign: "Eternal Moments Photo Studio."
A cozy, upscale photo studio with large display windows showcasing framed couples’ portraits, fairy lights draped across the entrance, and a discreet "Open Late" sign flickering softly.
Alex raised an eyebrow. "Here?"
Alicia nodded repeatedly, eyes bright.
"As you wish," Alex said with a smile. "Let’s go then."
They entered the photo studio. The staff greeted them with warm smiles, bowing slightly.
A cheerful attendant approached. "Welcome! What kind of photos would you like? We also have dresses and outfits available if needed."
Alicia said confidently, "Where is the section where I can find a bridal gown?"
Alex was surprised for a bit, eyes widening slightly.
But as Alicia looked toward him expectantly, he recovered. "Whatever you want."
The female staff beamed and led Alicia to a corner filled with many beautiful wedding dresses—racks upon racks of lace, silk, and satin gowns shimmering under spotlights, veils cascading like waterfalls, crystals catching the light.
Among all the options, Alicia clutched Alex’s arm. "Which one?"
Alex looked at all of them carefully, scanning the elegant off-the-shoulder styles, mermaid cuts, and ball gowns.
Then he pointed to one.
A stunning pure white gown with a fitted bodice embroidered with delicate silver thread forming floral patterns, a flowing A-line skirt that cascaded into a subtle train, off-the-shoulder sleeves of sheer lace, a fitted corset back accentuating the waist, and a veil with tiny crystal beads that sparkled like stars. It looked ethereal, timeless, perfect for her.
Alex handed it to her, face slightly flushed.
Alicia smiled. "You really have good taste, don’t you?"
The female staff laughed softly at Alex’s reaction.
"Just try it already, please, and stop embarrassing me," Alex said, looking toward Alicia.
Alicia laughed but headed to the changing room.
Alex waited outside, pacing slightly, heart thumping.
After 20 minutes, Alicia finally came out.
"You can look now."
She almost took Alex’s breath away.
The wedding dress hugged her figure flawlessly, the white silk contrasting beautifully with her snow-white hair that cascaded in soft waves down her back.
The sapphire-green eyes popped against the gown’s accents, sparkling like gems.
The lace sleeves framed her shoulders delicately, the bodice cinching her waist perfectly, the skirt flowing gracefully with every step, making her look like a vision from a fairy tale—radiant, elegant, utterly mesmerizing.
Alex became completely mesmerized, staring at her for long moments without saying a word, mouth slightly open.
Suddenly, Alicia’s voice snapped him out of his daze.
Smiling and smug, she said, "I was about to ask you how I look, but it looks like I finally got my answer."
Alex was lost for words. After a few seconds, he whispered in her ear, "You look breathtaking."
Even though she tried to maintain her cool, Alicia’s face became red as a tomato, a satisfying smile blooming on her lips.
Suddenly, the staff approached.
"Sir, madam, are you ready for the picture?"
Alicia nodded. "Yes."
Suddenly Alex interrupted her. "Wait—don’t I also have to get changed?"
Alicia fixed his tie gently, fingers lingering. "No, you look handsome enough in this outfit. So let’s take it as it is."
Alex grinned. "Well, you’re right about that. Let’s go."
The staff showed them the way to the studio—a beautifully lit room with backdrops, softbox lights, and a professional camera setup.
The photographer, a middle-aged woman with sharp eyes, saw them both and froze.
"Oh my... are they angels in human skin or what?"
She became dazed just looking at them, camera forgotten in her hands.
Then she snapped out of it, slapping her cheeks. "Snap out of it!"
She directed, "Get ready!"
