The only one who has to on a diet

Mika was showing off the dresses to her mother and in-laws when Ryn and her mother entered the room. Ryn nudged her mother, encouraging her to join the others looking at the dresses. The elder woman took a deep breath to calm down and encouraged herself to join them even though she felt self-conscious about her status compared to the other two. Luckily, she did not wear her usual hippy outfit but put on a proper outfit so she would not embarrass her only daughter. 

To her shock, Mrs Long and the other woman quickly pulled her closer to look at the dress Mika presented. Ryn smiled when she saw how the other two welcomed her mother without looking down on them. That was why she was close to the Long. They accepted her for who she was. 

"So beautiful," Mrs Long gasped as she and her in-laws looked at the wedding dress on the mannequin. She pulled her soon-to-be in-laws closer so the other woman could see it clearly.
