A 26-year-old bride-to-be is facing an unexpected dilemma as her wedding day approaches. Her future mother-in-law (MIL) is battling cancer, and her fiancé and his siblings want to show their support by shaving their heads at the wedding. While she admires their intentions, she’s torn between joining them or keeping her long, carefully nurtured hair for the big day. As the pressure mounts, she’s accused of being inconsiderate, but there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
