The wedding feast followed shortly after. The great hall was alive with laughter, conversation, and music as food and drinks were served to everyone present. Guests filled the dance floor while musicians played from one corner of the room and families gathered together to celebrate. Wedding gifts were presented one after another as the festivities continued.
"I brought this for you," Beth said as she approached, presenting her gift after greeting Catarina, who was standing beside her daughter.
"Thank you so much, mother," she said with a bright smile. "It makes me really happy that you came today."
Beth smiled back at her warmly. "Of course I wouldn't miss my daughter's wedding," she said, and once the gift was set aside, she glanced toward Catarina who returned the look with a small smile of her own.
"Your face is definitely glowing. Everyone can tell how happy you are," Hannah said.
"It is her happy day, of course," Catarina added.
