Vignettes: the end Part II
The lights came back on and the low murmur of voices once again filled the room. Dakota stood up, a smile plastered on her face. She obviously enjoyed watching the video just as much as the guests. Everyone was grinning. Bette’s face was red with embarrassment, as was Tina’s. But nobody’s face was a deeper shade of red than Alice’s. Everyone now could say they saw Alice’s bare butt.
Dakota grabbed the microphone. “As you can see, there’s not much more to say. This is how it all started so many years ago. And if you look across the room, you can see how it still is today.”
Holding her glass in the air, Dakota said, “to my mothers, Bette and Tina.”
Everyone joined in the toast, repeating, “to Bette and Tina.”
Shane took the mic from Dakota who fell back into Julianne’s arms in the corner. “I think a speech would be appropriate now. Bette?”
This caught Bette off guard who was just starting to return to her normal color. She looked at Tina who nudged her. Bette stood. Tina took her hand and followed to the front of the room. Shane first hugged Bette then Tina. In the corner Bette saw Dakota giving her a thumbs up. Bette looked at all the people filling every table across the room. Dana and Alice sat next to her. They smiled encouragingly. Easing back into her charismatic style, Bette began to talk.
“I’d like to first thank each and every one of you for coming to this celebration tonight. Each face in the crowd brings back a fond memory. What a celebration this is!”
Everyone clapped and whistled.
Tina squeezed Bette’s hand and held onto a microphone with her other hand. “And love is a wonderful thing to celebrate.”
More clapping.
Bette smiled. “Seriously, though, look how far we’ve come. You just witnessed the beginning of a long and loving committed relationship in the video. Some people in this world believe that true love doesn’t exist. If they were here tonight, I think we would be able to convince them otherwise. Tina is the most amazing woman I have ever known. We had some rough times over the years, don’t get me wrong. But for some reason I couldn’t let her go, even when she was halfway across the country. I’m glad I didn’t lose her forever. And now, two beautifully grown daughters can celebrate with us. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
