Masked Bride Poses in Ruffled Gown

A shy bride in round glasses and a white face mask fills the phone camera in a dim hotel hallway. She is poured into a frothy white off-shoulder gown with neon-red ruffled edges and a tight red sash. A sheer veil sits on her dark hair. She stretches a gloved hand toward you, flashing a huge glittering ring, then claps both palms over her masked mouth as if she cannot stop giggling. She stands still and poses, layers of tulle swaying around her hips, never taking a stitch off. The dress stays on, the mask stays on, the tease is all in the look — a covered-up bride daring you to wonder what the naked version would be.
