When my cousin Julia announced her wedding theme—Sunset Serenity—nobody knew what it even meant. She sended a long email with a mood board, including colors like “sun-kissed tangerine,” “blushing dusk,” and something called “twilight rose.” She insist we all wear colours from her weird palette.

I asked her what she meant, but she just said, “Use your creative eye, darling. Trust the vibe.” So I did.

I showed up wearing a full-length jumpsuit, all neon oranges, hot pinks, and some very ugly purples. It looked like a 1980s gym poster exploded. My shoes sparkled. My earrings was huge. Makeup? Done hard.

Julia looked at me like I ruined her life. “What are you wearing?!”

I said, “Sunset Serenity, like you said. It’s sunset-y. It’s serene to me.” People started giggling behind their glasses. My aunt across the lawn mouthed “thank you.” Julia's mom (also my aunt, but whatever) whispered, “She’s been a nightmare.”

Julia couldn’t scream without looking like a brat. So she just fake smiled and went to go breathe into a napkin or something.

By the end, other cousins wore dollar store tutus and glitter socks too. Said it was their “creative eye.”

We all looked amazing.
