Mipha, Tayli, and Alivia were all gathered in Liana's room, patiently waiting for Liana to come from behind the screen and show off her wedding dress. Anya babbled as she crawled over to her mother's feet. Alivia softly smiled at her and hoisted her up.
"You're getting too big, Anya," Alivia patted her daughter's back, her wedding ring shining in the morning light.
"I can't believe she's eight months already!" Tayli peered over at the baby's face. "I can't wait for when Valik and I have children of our own."
"Oh, you two will have the cutest babies! I'm surprised you two haven't tried for one yet. Valik has always dreamed of having a family of his own."
"He's just been so busy lately, and because of that he doesn't feel ready. I understand completely, but still!"
"Oh, you and Valik better wait," Mipha laughed out a sigh and the two both giggled. "My children are now practically married, that's a lot to handle already. I'll need a good few years before I can accept myself as a grandmother—are you hearing me, Liana?"
"Don't worry, mom," Liana chuckled. "Klay and I will take things slow!"
The young Zora princess looked in the mirror. She studied her pure white dress for a moment, noting the pearl-like beading creating beautiful botanical outlines. The sleeves ended at the crook of her elbow, and they had crushed opals at the ends of them. The bottom of her dress rested at her feet. She had a sheer, lacy train which attached at her shoulders like a cape that trailed only a little behind her feet. A royal Zora tiara rested at her head, and a veil attached to it that lengthened out to her mid-back. She couldn't help but smile at how elegant it all looked.
"I think I'm done," Liana announced.
"Then come on! Let's see it!" Tayli jumped slightly.
Liana daintily folded the screen door to reveal herself. All of the women gasped and went over to her, adoring how beautiful she looked. Mipha almost became teary-eyed at the sight.
"What a remarkable young woman you have become," Mipha adjusted her daughter's veil.
"Your seamstress did amazing!" Alivia squealed. "Who did it?"
"Urbosa recommended her," Liana chimed. "She's a wonderful Gerudo seamstress and she's so nice! I believe her name was Allison."
As Liana and Alivia talked about the seamstress, Tayli helped Mipha gather the wedding shoes and bring them over to Liana. "Now I know you had trouble deciding," Mipha began, "but now that you have the dress on, you can now pick for sure what shoes you would like."
"Hmm," Liana stepped over at the variety of footwear: heels, flats, sandals, pumps. All of them were white, some had diamonds, others opals, pearls, or an assortment. Ultimately, she decided that she wanted to go with something simple, as she wanted to be comfortable during the wedding. She decided on a heel sandal with a pearl lace-up. The heel of it was short, but still notable. As she tried them both on, the women couldn't help but smile with glee.
"Those look so cute on you!" Tayli helped the bride over to the mirror. Liana lifted her dress up slightly so she could see the shoes better. "Do they feel comfortable?"
"I love them!" Liana did a small spin and turned to the three princesses. "I'm so excited! Do you know if Klay is ready?"
"I'm sure by now he is, but you both didn't want to see each other until the wedding starts, right?" Mipha asked, patting down the wedding dress lightly.
"Yeah," Liana pouted slightly, "I'm just too impatient!"
"And don't get too ahead of yourself!" Alivia walked over with the bowl of gem shavings in her hand. "We've got to add one last thing!"
