As the sun rose on the much-awaited wedding day, beams of golden light filtered through the window, casting a warm glow across Reethu's room. With butterflies fluttering in her stomach, Reethu sat in front of the vanity mirror, surrounded by her closest friends - Anushka, Athiya, Ritika, Natasa, and of course her cousins Deepa and Maya.

Anushka, with her calm demeanour, held up the lavender-shaded lehenga adorned with delicate embroidery. "Reethu, this is absolutely stunning! You're going to look like a dream," she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Reethu's heart swelled with gratitude as she took in the sight of the exquisite outfit. "Thank you, Anushka. I couldn't have asked for better friends to share this special day with," she said, her voice filled with emotion.

Meanwhile, in his room, Shubman stood surrounded by his groomsmen - Virat, Abhishek, Ishan, Hardik, KL Rahul, Shreyas, and Rohit and his cousins Aarav and Rohan. Laughter filled the air as they helped him into his traditional sherwani, each one offering words of encouragement and good-natured banter.

"Shubman, you clean up pretty well, I must say," Virat remarked with a grin, adjusting Shubman's sherwani with care. Shubman chuckled, feeling a surge of excitement coursing through his veins. "Thanks, Virat. I couldn't have asked for a better group of friends to stand by my side today," he replied, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Back in Reethu's room, Athiya carefully pinned a delicate pin into Reethu's hair. "You look absolutely breathtaking, Reethu," she said, her voice soft with admiration.

Ritika nodded in agreement, her eyes misting with emotion. "I can't believe our little Reethu is all grown up and getting married," she said, her voice catching in her throat.

Reethu smiled, feeling overwhelmed with love for her friends. "Thank you for being here with me every step of the way. I don't know what I'd do without you all," she said, her voice filled with gratitude. "Dayum girl," Deepa and Maya emphasised making her chuckle.

As the final touches were applied, Reethu took a moment to admire herself in the mirror, feeling like a vision in lavender. With a deep breath, she knew she was ready to embark on this new chapter of her life.

Meanwhile, in Shubman's room, his groomsmen stepped back to admire their handiwork, a sense of pride evident on their faces. "You're one lucky guy, Shubman. Reethu is going to be blown away when she sees you," KL Rahul remarked, clapping Shubman on the back.

Shubman grinned, feeling a surge of excitement building within him. "I can't wait to see her. She's going to be the most beautiful bride," he said, his heart swelling with love.With a final glance in the mirror, Shubman knew he was ready to take on the world, hand in hand with the woman he loved. As he made his way to the ceremony venue, his heart pounded with anticipation, eager to begin this new chapter of their lives together.

As Reethu descended the stairs of her family home, her heart raced with excitement. The soft lavender fabric of her lehenga billowed around her, the intricate embroidery shimmering in the sunlight. With each step, she felt a sense of anticipation building within her, knowing that soon she would be united with Shubman.
As Reethu made her way down the aisle, her heart overflowing with love for Shubman, she couldn't resist the urge to express her affection in a playful yet heartfelt gesture. With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, she raised her hand to her lips and blew a delicate flying kiss towards Shubman, her lavender-shaded lehenga swirling around her in a mesmerizing dance.

Shubman's heart skipped a beat as he caught the flying kiss, his lips curving into a wide grin as he watched Reethu approach him. The simple yet poignant gesture filled him with warmth and excitement, reaffirming the depth of their connection even amid the ceremonial pomp and grandeur.

As Reethu finally reached Shubman at the altar, their hands intertwined, they exchanged a tender glance filled with unspoken promises and shared dreams.

"You look absolutely breathtaking," Shubman whispered, his voice barely above a murmur, his eyes shining with adoration.

Reethu blushed, a radiant smile gracing her lips. "And you look incredibly handsome," she replied, her voice tinged with emotion.
