"You two kissed!" Cynthia said surprised as she sat on Annabelle bed. The morning Annabelle woke up she couldn't contain how happy she was.
"Yes" Annabelle said smiling causing Cynthia to clap her hands as she squealed.
"I knew you two were perfect for each other!" Cynthia said and Annabelle laughed.
"I guess you could say that.. he wants to see me today" Annabelle said swinging her legs off the bed sitting up.
"You need to wear the best dress!" Cynthia exclaimed outstretching her arms as she accidentally hit Annabelle forehead, Cynthia apologized before going over to Annabelle trunk and looking through the dresses.
"I-it's not that deep Cynthia" Annabelle said rubbing her forehead.
"He's your future husband, it does matter" the young girl replied causing Annabelle to roll her eyes.
"You don't know that" Annabelle said as she got up and Cynthia grabbed the corset.
"I do know.. I've seen the way he looks at you, he will marry you" Cynthia replied and Annabelle stayed silent.. she would love to marry him, he was perfect for her.
"This is definitely not one of my best dresses" Annabelle said looking at the white and pink dress through the mirror.
"No, but it has symbolic to it. You don't remember? Your mother told us stories about how this was the dress she wore when she met your father, now you are wearing it" Cynthia said and Annabelle remembered that memory.
"Oh yes, I did forget about that" Annabelle said.

Flashback- 1910Elizabeth, Annabelle adoptive mother. She sat on the kitchen chair writing a letter to Thomas, he was out at sea. Young Annabelle was reading a book she found on the coffee table that belonged to her mother while the young Cynthia dusted the living room fireplace.
As Annabelle read the book with pictures inside, she came across a black and white photo inside the book almost acting as a bookmark, the photo was dated January 2, 1901. The young couple were smiling at the camera, the woman wearing a dress that Annabelle couldn't quite figure out the color as it was black and white. While the man was wearing a suit with a top hat. Annabelle tilted her head as she recognized the two.
"Mother, was this you?" Annabelle called out causing Elizabeth to stop writing and Cynthia to stop dusting.
"What are you looking at dear?" Elizabeth asked. Annabelle grabbed the photo and got up going over to her mom. Cynthia who has always been curious walked over as well and looked at the photo.
"Oh I remember this photo, that was me and that was your father.. this picture was taken when we first met in the beginning of 1901, we hadn't adopted you yet, we adopted you in-" Elizabeth started off saying and Annabelle interrupted her.
