Stepping into Zainab's mansion. Amira giggled, "I can't believe Zee zee is actually getting married, that crazy girl."

Tasleem smiled, "I know right? She's definitely grinning right now."

Amira's phone rang, obviously it's Zainab calling "let's hurry up.."

Guests and family members are coming in and out already as the Henna party is set to take place.

They soon reached the building where the bride and the bridesmaids are. The scent of bakhoor filled the room. Zainab's makeup is already done. And she's already in her attire.

The dark blue dress hugged her curves with elegant precision, accentuating her slender waist. The color compliments her brown skin. The gold design shimmered across her waist. Zainab looks absolutely stunning.

Immediately after they came into the room Zainab winked at them and grinned foolishly.

Amira closed her eyes with her palm. "Ayyy stop, I'd go blind looking at your smile."

Zainab is certainly a happy soul. As the bubbly bride-to-be, she radiated warmth and happiness. It was her irresistible smile that truly showcased the depth of her love for her Mr. AB

"How do I look?" Zainab asked, flashing a cheeky grin at them.

"Drop dead gorgeous." Tasleem said.

"No doubt." Amira added.

"Thank you! You guys looked beautiful as well." And she looked at Tasleem "Ya Hamza couldn't wait to see you. He's been texting me, asking if you're here."

Tasleem decided not to say a thing because she knows it'll be useless against Zainab.

The place was decorated majestically. Lanterns and a sheen of silver and gold decorations. the sweet fragrance of bakhoor and music wafted through the air.

Zainab sat on a beautiful throne- like a chair. A stunning backdrop, draped with silver and gold embroidery behind her, framing her elegance.

The bridesmaids, resplendent in their Ankara dresses, sat on the carpet, their hands stretched out before them, as the Henna artist, designed intricate patterns on their hands and feet.

A beautiful table filled with puff-puff, spring rolls, meat- pie, stick-meat, cocktail and any other snacks you could think of.

The room was filled with laughter and chatter. Their eyes shone with excitement at the wedding. Zainab's face glowed with happiness, and the photographer started taking pictures of the bride and bridesmaids.

Tasleem's hands were now adorned with red henna designs. The Henna makes her hands appear even more delicate. Masha Allah.

The groom soon arrived at the event location.

The photographer, poised and ready, snapped the picture of the couples. The click of the camera and the music echoed through the room. Followed by the chatter of guests and the occasional phone camera shutter.

The couples keep whispering to each other. Sure enough the photographer captured their laughter, whispers, and their adoring gaze for each other.

Zainab made the most beautiful bride.

No doubt, her wedding events will be all over the gossip blogs and any other social media platforms.
