Despite it being their first shoot, Kelly’s poise was even more striking than that of a leading actress.
“David, put your arm around Kelly’s waist.” the photographer suggested a change in pose.
But David found the previous poses too contrived and too awkward. He told the photographer, “Let’s just go with the flow.”
“OK!”
As the photographer raised the camera, David leaned in and kissed Kelly, prompting cheers from everyone around.

That day, a team of top international floral designers took charge, shipping over four thousand po s of freéhl seiee re for BemeGiions Vi la’s orations, costing over a hundred thousand dollars. The exterior walls of Reflections Villa, the steps, columns, and all visible areas were enveloped in blooms.
The sheer extravagance of the arrangement was no less than that of a royal princess getting married or a prince taking a bride.
On that day, the world-renowned, top-tier skincare team visited to provide Mirabella with a full-body beauty and skincare treatment.
From her hair to her toenails, every part of her was meticulously cared for in preparation for tomorrow’s wedding.
This team’s headquarters was in Zion City, and they typically catered only to the celebrities with exclusive treatments, not providing house calls for just anyone.
But Mirabella’s influence was immense. Being the Collins family’s daughter and about to marry Romeo to become the future lady of the McMillian family, not to mention her multifaceted talents each being enough to surpass industry leaders.

“Lost for words? It’s more likely that he’ll struck dumb!”
“Ordinary people could never pull off the elegance you do.”
“Ms. Bella, your waist is so slender; you have such a perfect figure!”
Looking herself in the mirror, Mirabella had to admit, Romeo had outdone himself with the design of this mermaid dress.
“They say Mr. McMillian designed this dress himself. It shows his great taste and impeccable aesthetics.”
“He designed this tailless gown especially to make it easier for Ms. Bella during the toast. He’s so thoughtful and considerate!”
“It is said that the diamonds on it are all hand-set by the finest bridal team under Mr. McMillian’s brand—simply gorgeous.”
“I never thought any dress could match your grace and beauty, Ms. Bella, but today I’m proven wrong. This dress is tailor-made for you, perfect in every way.”
“Just this wedding dress alone is enough to make countless people envious.”
Mirabella sat in front of the dressing table, watching the stylist work on her, while a few makeup artists discussed what kind of makeup to fit her.
“Ms. Bella, thank you for inviting us from Reflections Villa to your wedding.”
“I never thought I’d witness such a grand and beautiful wedding i lifetime. You eyeatsl@Usnot to bring iS, 54 ing Our presence is enough.
