Leo and Chloe had been inseparable for three years. They met at a local art gallery fundraiser, bonding over a shared love for history, antique craftsmanship, and old architecture. She was a vintage jewelry restorer with a heart of gold.
Their relationship had always been effortless, built on absolute trust and mutual respect. When Leo proposed last winter, it was the happiest day of his life. They immediately began planning a beautiful, intimate wedding, but harsh reality quickly caught up with them.
As the vendor quotes poured in, their dream began to slip through their fingers. The catering, the venue, the flowers—it was all costing double their budget. Chloe was heartbroken, quietly suggesting they postpone the wedding for a few years. That was when Evelyn stepped in with a miracle. Leo’s parents had died when he was young, leaving Evelyn, his sweet, modest grandmother, as the only steady family Leo had ever known.
