On the wedding day, Margaret arrived nervously, fearing judgment. She was surprised to see the vibrant and traditional Indian decorations. Anita was wearing a red sari, not the white dress. Anita’s father approached Margaret and said, “Thank you for honoring our traditions by wearing white. It means a lot to us.”
Feeling relieved and honored, Margaret realized she hadn’t been set up but truly valued. During the reception, she told Anita, “I misjudged you about the dress. Thank you for making me feel special.” Anita responded warmly and suggested they start fresh and build a better relationship.
In that moment, Margaret felt embraced by something beautiful and lasting, ready to welcome a new beginning for their family.
