Marching the Aisle

She changed into her outfit an hour later, which included a full-body skirt and a deep V-neck bodice with exquisite details. Waiting at the rooftop garden's entrance with her father in her wedding gown, Izabella tried not to worry about bad omens as her dreams kept coming to mind.
