From Ugly Duckling to Happily Ever After

Growing up wasn’t a walk in the park for Elena. Teased at school and battling self-doubt, she always looked older than her years and never fit the beauty mold. Unsurprisingly, she never had a boyfriend—boys at that age can be pretty shallow.

But then came college and, with it, her lucky break. Elena met her Mr. Right, a man who saw her for who she truly was. Sparks flew, and it didn’t take long for them to tie the knot. This is where her journey to happiness truly began, proving that love sees beyond appearances and that real beauty is found within.
