As Isaac finished his sentence, the makeup artists all burst into laughter, chiming in, "Every kid in the world shares the same dream."
"To be as beautiful as Auntie, to glow just like her."
"I wanna be pretty too," Bryan mumbled, his words tangled in envy as he gazed at Estrella.
The two of them leaned in closer, and soon they were joined by a bunch of other kids, all circling Estrella and showering her with compliments about her beauty, wishing to grow up just like her.
Estrella couldn't stop grinning at their little acts of flattery.
"Alright, alright, gather around, everyone. Let's not crowd the bride; she still needs to get ready!" Sandy clapped her hands, instantly drawing the kids' attention.
Despite her day job as a lawyer, she had a knack for handling children with ease.
Before long, Estrella had her tiara in place, and Jesse couldn't help but sigh, "Smoke, you look too gorgeous. Why on earth am I not a guy? Jason's hit the jackpot."
No sooner had Jesse finished her thought than Autumn burst in, all fired up, "Estrella, the groom's procession will be here in about fifteen minutes. Get ready!"
Her excitement palpable, Autumn's eyes misted over as she beheld Estrella in her pristine white wedding dress, memories of Estrella's childhood flashing before her eyes.
After a moment's pause, Autumn remarked, "My girl looks so beautiful, the prettiest of them all."
Estrella, lifting her dress slightly, walked over and hugged Autumn, "I'm beautiful because of you, Mom. You raised me to be this way."
Touched, Autumn wiped away a tear, smiling brightly, "That's right."
Then, hastily adding, "Be careful, Estrella. I'll be downstairs with your aunt and our friends. Jason's got quite the challenge ahead to get to you!"
The Dorvold household was buzzing with excitement, a rare sight that had everyone stirring up fun.
"Okay, Mom, Auntie, I'll leave the downstairs to you," Estrella assured.
After a few more words of advice, Autumn descended into the lively crowd below.

Meanwhile, Jason and his groomsmen were making a grand entrance towards the Dorvold residence, their convoy of sleek Maybachs catching everyone’s attention. Taylor, Grayson, and Thomas, along with their close circle of friends, were all dressed to the nines as the groom's best men, leading the procession.
Bryce, seasoned in matrimonial festivities, spearheaded the convoy, the trunk of his car filled with envelopes of cash.
Today, he was the designated fairy godfather, ready to sprinkle cash far and wide.
As the convoy hadn't yet entered the neighborhood, Bryce, perched atop the lead car adorned with ribbons, began tossing envelopes to the onlookers, his generosity drawing an ever-growing crowd.
The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as the convoy made its way in, Bryce scattering envelopes and wedding sweets, each envelope stuffed with crisp hundred-dollar bills, at least two in each.
Those lucky enough to catch them were beside themselves with joy, feeling blessed by the wedding's festive spirit.
Jason and Estrella's wedding was truly a down-to-earth celebration.
Upon reaching the Dorvold residence, the convoy parked in an orderly fashion outside, creating quite the spectacle.
The wedding car, adorned with white roses and lilies chosen by Estrella for their simple elegance, awaited the bride and groom.
As Jason and his groomsmen stepped out, their dashing appearance stirred up a commotion both inside and outside the yard, with everyone cheering on their good looks.
Though the iron gate was closed, the lively scene within was clear for all to see.
