In the VIP room, Annis went to the dressing room to try on her wedding dress while Camila and Joe relaxed on the sofa outside.

The table before them was laden with delicate desserts and drinks.

Joe, his hands sticky with sweets, had a smudge of chocolate at the corner of his mouth. Camila gently wiped it off with a tissue.

"Slow down," she advised with a smile.

Joe offered some dessert to Camila. “Try it, Mommy. It's delicious."

He fed her a small bite, and Camila obliged. She savored the rich chocolate flavor combined with subtle hints of lemon and a refreshing touch of mint.

It was a delightful blend, and she nodded in appreciation.

“It does taste good," Camila agreed, watching as Joe eagerly sampled another treat.

She observed her son quietly, her heart full of love and contentment.

Moments later, Annis emerged from the dressing room, adorned in a traditional wedding dress. The gown struck a perfect balance between conservative and sexy, reflecting both modesty and allure.

Although Annis was naturally Lively, the dress gave her an air of composure and dignity.

Considering the presence of elderly guests and children at the wedding, her choice was thoughtful and appropriate.

"Camila, do you think it's beautiful?" Annis asked, doing a graceful twirl in front of her.

Camila's eyes lit up as she admired Annis in the dress. "Yes, Annis, it's absolutely beautiful. You look stunning," she said sincerely.

Joe, still munching on desserts, chimed in with a smile, "You look like a princess, Annis!"

Annis beamed at the compliment.

She bent over and affectionately ruffled Joe's hair. "I like what you said," she responded with a smile.

The dress fitted Annis perfectly, and she took the opportunity to try on her makeup and hair as well, ensuring they complemented the dress.

It was a meticulous process, taking up most of the afternoon.

Joe, exhausted, eventually fell asleep on the sofa.
