Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved to laugh and smile even in the toughest of times. She was a strong and kind-hearted person who always lent a helping hand to everyone in need. One day, she met someone who quickly became her life's bigges...
Today was the day I had been eagerly anticipating - my brother's engagement. Despite still recovering from my health issues, I was determined to make the most of this special day. After waking up early, I prepared myself, applied henna, and got ready for the day's festivities. Greeting everyone in the morning and seeking their blessings, my brother and I headed to the temple for blessings. Along the way, we passed by Aansh's shop, where I avoided running into Reha and quickly met Abhay to arrange for the gift delivery.
Upon returning home, I busied myself with preparations and welcoming the arriving family members. After a quick lunch, I began setting up the venue for the ceremony, which was a surprise for my brother's fiance, Nitya. As the clock neared 7 in the evening, my mother insisted that I get ready first before attending the remaining tasks.
I swiftly changed into my outfit for the evening: an off-white ghagra with intricate patterns and a full-sleeved top adorned with silver handiwork, complemented by a simple pair of heavy earrings. I opted for a makeup look with smoky eyes and light lipstick.

Soon after, Nitya and her family arrived, and we welcomed them and ushered them to their seats. Our planned dance performance to welcome Nitya into our family was a success. After the dance, my brother surprised Nitya with a proposal, and the couple exchanged rings, moving everyone to happy tears.

The engagement ceremony for Vianna's brother was a sight to behold. The venue was transformed into a paradise of elegance and beauty. As guests entered, they were greeted by a mesmerizing display of twinkling fairy lights and fragrant floral arrangements that adorned every corner.
The stage where the couple would exchange rings was a masterpiece of design. A grand floral arch stood tall, symbolizing the union of two souls. It was adorned with lush blooms in shades of white and gold, representing purity and prosperity.
The seating area for the guests was no less spectacular. Tables were dressed in exquisite linens and adorned with delicate centerpieces of roses and orchids. Soft candlelight flickered, casting a warm glow over the gathering.
The color scheme of the decorations was a harmonious blend of gold, ivory, and hints of blush pink. It added a touch of sophistication and romance to the ambiance, creating a dreamy setting for the celebration.
As the evening unfolded, music filled the air, and laughter mingled with the clinking of glasses. The joy and love shared among family and friends were palpable, making the engagement ceremony a truly magical and unforgettable event.

Following the engagement rituals, gifts were exchanged, and I was tasked with performing some family rituals. Nitya's family also presented me with some gifts, and I shared a heartfelt moment with Nitya. As the evening progressed, I introduced Nitya to our family members while my mother attended to the other guests.
During a quiet moment, I asked Nitya and my brother about their honeymoon plans, sparking a blush on Nitya's face. I reminded them to cherish their bond and to communicate openly, drawing from my experience in the legal field where I had witnessed many separations due to misunderstandings.
Later, as we enjoyed the dinner, I surprised Nitya and my brother by gifting them the keys to a beautiful house where they could spend their weekends and holidays. The idea of the gift had originated from discussions with my parents, evolving into a joint investment opportunity for all of us. Nitya's eyes conveyed her happiness, while my brother seemed conflicted.
After the lively celebrations, I engaged in capturing joyous moments with my cousins. At one point, I noticed Abhay on the phone, and assuming he was speaking with Aansh, I distractedly ignored him. Subsequently, I received a message from Aansh, but I was not in the mood to engage with him, choosing instead to focus on my family's happiness and my career aspirations. As the evening wound down, I decided to embrace the joy around me and danced freely with my cousins, ignoring any concerns about being recorded.
Following the celebrations, once home, I changed into comfortable attire and joined my family, indulging in opening gifts and sharing a late-night meal. Despite the exhaustion, sleep eluded us, and we spent the night revelling in togetherness.
