17. Family moments (0.2)
Vina
Inner Vina: Star? Me? I'm just Vina, the designer who stumbled into this crazy marriage. But their smiles, the way they look at me... it's like I'm glowing from the inside. My simplicity's all I've got, and they love it
Clara ( aunt)
Clara: (admiring her) That outfit's divine, but it's your grace that makes it. You're a natural, Vina. Got any Indian-inspired designs in your sketchbook
Vina
Vina: (smiling) Not yet, Clara, but this is inspiring me. Maybe a fusion line-LuxeWear meets lehenga vibes. What do you think
Victor ( uncle)
Victor: (nodding) That's my girl. Already dreaming big. You fit right in with this dreamer family
Sophie ( cousin)
Sophie: (grinning, snapping a photo) Vina, you're giving newlywed goals! The bangles, the glow-ugh, I'm obsessed
Vina
Vina: (laughing) Sophie, you're too sweet. I'm just trying not to spill juice on this silk. (sips carefully
Vina
Inner Vina: Obsessed? That's so kind, but I'm the one in awe. This family's huge, loud, loving-everything I didn't know I needed. I keep expecting to wake up, but it's real. I'm their wife, dressed like a bride, and... happy
Ethan
Ethan: (offering her a plate of sweets) Try the gulab jamun. It's sweet, like you
Vina
Vina: (taking a bite, eyes lighting up) Oh, wow, this is amazing! Sweet's my thing-good call, Ethan
Evan
Evan: (watching her, softly) You don't even know how captivating you are, do you? Just being you, right here, it's...everything
Elias
Elias: (leaning in, teasing) Careful, Evan's getting poetic. But he's right. You in that lehenga, laughing like that? I'm a goner
Vina
Vina: (blushing deeply) You guys are too much. I'm just...me. Plain old Vina, eating sweets and loving this day.
lila ( Mom)
lila: (overhearing, smiling) Nothing plain about you, dear. You're our Vina -simple, yes, but that's your magic. You've got us all enchanted
Vina
Inner Vina: Enchanted? My cheeks hurt from smiling. I came here heartbroken, but now I'm wrapped in silk and love, surrounded by people who see me. Ethan's gaze, Evan's quiet strength, Elias's playfulness-they're my husbands, and this family's my home. I'm not plain today. I'm...theirs
Vina
Vina: (looking around, voice soft) Thank you, everyone. For this outfit, this brunch, this...everything. I've never felt so welcomed.
Theo ( Grandpa)
Theo: (raising his glass again) To Vina-our bride, our heart.
Here's to forever
