Need help for a saying

A friend's daughter is getting married and on the back of the engagement invite is a picture of the girl when she was 5 years old ina wedding gown. We need help for sayings like

'Her fairy tale dream is finally coming true'
'here's ****** practicing to be a bride'

Any ideas would be great! TIA!!!!!

As a little girl she dreamed of this day,
all grown up now, she will be given away!
