Vanessa Williams & Brian McKnight – Love Is

"Look at this place
It was Paradise, but now it’s dying
I’ll pray for love
I’ll take my chances that its not too late"

The day is a lot different at The Planet than it was the day before.  A bit more intimate and peaceful as opposed to the wildness of the day before with the Planet Festival.  Today however, there is a celebration worth noting.  Three weddings, one ceremony.  A gathering of friends and family alike.  Everything is set as the guests begin to assemble, taking to their seats.

Two seperate areas have been curtained off from the rest of the building.  One is a makeshift room for Bette, Alice and Shane to prepare.  The other is a makeshift room for Tina, Lara and Carmen to prepare.  There isn’t much tension, but plenty of nerves.  At the altar stands Marilyn, brought in with Peggy.  Whether or not the wedding is considered official by anyone in Sacramento or Washington, DC is of little consequence in the hearts of those gathered.  In each makeshift room, three ladies arrive.  It’s time.

Kit: You ready to do this, baby sis?

Bette nods with a smile of certainty.  Kit gives her a sister a hug, to which Bette says the following to Kit’s right ear.

Bette: You and Angus are next.

Kit: …We’ll see ’bout that.

Bette: Are we going?

Kit takes Bette by the arm and walks her out of the room.  Bette and Kit.  Sisters, best of friends.

Alice and Shane look on as they’re greeted by two others.  Shane, though is looking over her black denim tuxedo.

Shane: Think this looks alright…?

Alice: Yep.  You look very Shane.

Shane smirks.

Shane: That’s a good thing, right?

Alice: It’s always a good thing.

The two others in the room with them are Alice’s mother, Lenore as well as Jenny.

Lenore: Who would imagine my daughter, Alice….the unconventional one of the family would take part in a wedding?

Alice: Yeah…but it’s not a conventional wedding.

Lenore: Very true.  Come…it’s time to start.

Alice: See ya out there, Shane.

Shane: See ya, Al.

Lenore escorts her daughter out of the room and towards the aisle.  Alice and Lenore.  Daughter and Mother, occassional buddies.

Shane: Wasn’t expecting to be walked down the aisle.
