Wedding guests were slowly beginning to gather near the double doors, chatting happily in their fine suits and colorful dresses.

A young bridesmaid walked past us holding a large bouquet of fresh flowers.

The hired photographer was laughing cheerfully alongside the hotel wedding planner.

Everything around us appeared completely normal, peaceful, and joyful.

It was genuinely beautiful, and that was easily the most horrifying part of the whole situation.

This was a picture-perfect wedding setting, surrounded by innocent people who had absolutely no idea that something deeply sinister might be hiding just underneath the surface.
