Mother Reflects on Family Dynamics Before Son's Wedding

Margaret, aged 62, has not dyed her gray hair since her husband Anthony passed away from cancer 11 years ago. Their son, Ethan, was only seven when his father fell ill.

As Ethan prepares to marry his fiancée Rachel, Margaret feels a mix of joy and unease. She generously offers to pay for their wedding expenses, including the venue, dress, and photographer.

However, she notices Rachel's discomfort with her presence during the engagement shoot, as Rachel requests reshoots whenever Margaret is too close. Despite Margaret's efforts to maintain peace and love, she senses Ethan's quietness and concern during the wedding planning.

On a Sunday dinner, Margaret prepares for a gathering, unaware that Rachel is about to ask her a specific question regarding her appearance, which may impact their relationship.
