After years of being overshadowed by her sister Hailey, Emily thought her engagement to Mark would finally be her moment. But when Hailey quickly booked Emily’s dream wedding venue, Rosewood Estate, Emily’s world crumbled. This venue had been her dream since childhood, where her grandparents had married, but her family dismissed her feelings, telling her it was “just a venue.”
Emily was fed up with always being second to Hailey, so she turned to her grandparents for support. To Emily’s surprise, they had already booked the venue for her a month before Hailey’s wedding. Emily felt a wave of relief—her grandparents had finally stood up for her when her parents and sister wouldn’t.
The next day, Hailey and their parents stormed Emily’s house, furious. “How dare you steal Hailey’s venue?” her mom yelled, but Emily, calm and unbothered, replied, “Dare to what? Exist?” It was a turning point for Emily—finally standing up for herself and finding the support her family had never given her.
