Chapter One: A Bride In Tattered Gold
Astrid's POV
It was my wedding and I would be getting married to the man of my dreams, my one and only true mate.
My figure in the mirror was ethereal, and I looked like the main character of an eternal love story. A bride stepping into a new chapter of her life with the man she loved.
I swirled in my shimmering gold dress, wearing the biggest smile on my face. My dark hair was curled at the ends, and framed my small face perfectly.
My appearance was perfect and I couldn't wait till I had to walk down the aisle. I heard footsteps coming towards me from behind, and spun around, still smiling.
"What do you think, Mama?"
A little girl, holding a bouquet of roses bigger than her head, looked up with the widest cutest eyes. "It is very pretty on you, Big Sis."
She paused, looking over the dress as if she realized something important and I knew what it was. "It isn't purple though. A purple dress is prettier."
