For a woman, a life-changing moment is her own marriage. Even though she marries a person she knew, her life would be different as a married woman. A married woman's priorities change giving her husband topmost importance in her life.

My priorities are about to change, and my life is going to change. Even though I may be from a rich family, I am a woman and this marriage will change my life.

A dupatta folded and laid across my left shoulder, another one placed over my head. My hands, adorned with bangles, and a diamond necklace set was on my neck.

I felt like a queen. However, there is something in my heart holding me back. Meena, Shreya, and Lucky got me ready for the wedding.

"Thank you guys, you made me look like a queen." I praise them after seeing my reflection.

"Oh, we didn't do anything." Meena shooed my compliments away.

"Oh, Avni!" At Anu's voice, I turned around and saw her place her hands on her mouth. There were tears in her eyes.

"You look exceptional." She came and held my face. I snuggled deep into her touch.

"Come on, Anu. Don't make me cry on my wedding day." I mumbled into her hands.

"How can I not? You will be leaving me. And everyone from the bride's side cries on her wedding giving her farewell." She sniffed and let a lone tear escape from her eye.

"Don't be stereotype Anu. We will live in the same city and you can always visit me." I tried to brighten the mood, Anu cracked a smile at that.

She took my hands into hers and excused the others from the room leaving the both of us.

"It might not be needed, but I am taking your mother's responsibility and telling you this." I stared at her interested to listen to her, she took a deep breath and continued.

"You are not a single woman, you will have a family and its responsibilities on your shoulders. I know that you can take care of the family but never make a mistake and if you do a mistake apologize, if not never bow your head down." She patted my cheek.
