The Batton family suggested having a full-scale rehearsal to ensure everything went smoothly during the wedding ceremony.
On the eve of the wedding, Sharon Lindt insisted that Stanley Batton stay over at a designated hotel so that he could officially receive the bride the next day.
Close relatives of the Batton family arrived early on the morning of the wedding day, each tasked with helping out Sharon.
Meanwhile, Xyla Quest sat calmly in front of the dressing table in her bedroom, being fussed over by the best female makeup artist in the country.
Her hair was styled in a simple chignon that showed her clear forehead, emphasizing her distinct facial features.
At the moment, she had her eyes closed as the makeup artist worked on her bridal makeup, which took an hour to complete.
After some finishing touches, her eyes slowly opened, catching her reflection in the mirror in front of her.
She looked stunningly beautiful.
She wore seemingly elegant nude makeup, but there were tiny details that involved a lot of thought that made her natural beauty even more evident.
“Are you happy with it?” the pretty makeup artist enquired with a smile.
“Yeah,” she beamed with a nod.
Then, the makeup artist opened a velvet, gold-plated jewelry box containing a set of jewelry that Sharon had sent over the day before. She'd specifically asked Xyla to wear them for the wedding.
The necklace was a gorgeous set with many two-carat diamonds, and each of those diamonds had tiny diamonds engraved around it.
The pendant itself was a tear-shaped diamond the size of a pigeon egg with numerous tiny diamonds surrounding it as well.
