As Allie plans her dream wedding, her vision board guides her every step. Yet, while searching for her wedding dress, she faces prejudice due to her skin color.\n

Flipping through bridal magazines, Allie balances her craving for pizza with her clean eating regimen. Her fianc\u00e9, Scott, reassures her she\u2019s perfect as she is, though she jokes about wanting that \u201cprincess glow.\u201d\n

Reflecting on childhood memories of her mother braiding her hair, Allie struggles to find the perfect dress. Scott suggests a boutique on Boulevard, but Allie\u2019s visit is marred by Sandra\u2019s discriminatory behavior, preventing her from trying on dresses.\n
