Alice
Dana and I were married on a Saturday morning on the middle of October, in front of practically everyone we knew. We’d wanted it to be a small ceremony at first, just our friends and Dana’s family, but as more time went by and more and more people found out about it, the phone calls and questions about attending got to be a little annoying. Dana and I sat up one night and talked about it, and eventually started laughing about the whole thing.
She was the one who’d wanted the small ceremony. I could see her point; Dana’s never been too great standing in front of a bunch of people. Aside from the tennis, of course, but she’s always said that she never noticed the audience while she was playing. Still, she’d have felt bad turning anyone away, so we decided to just let whoever showed up stay.
I’d had a bad time picking out my dress. None of the ones I tried seemed good enough. Personally, I didn’t want to wear a white flowing gown anyway, but Bette told me that Dana wanted me to, so I did. The funniest thing was that it was my mother who found the perfect dress…in her attic, of all places. She’d never worn it, but according to her, my grandma had and it had been passed down. All I really cared about at that point was that it fit and didn’t look half bad. Tina said it made me look like an angel, and I laughed and told her the magic of costuming could work wonders.
I had no idea what Dana was wearing. My friends had gone insane with traditional ideas, and I hoped she wouldn’t hate my dress. Nobody would let her see me in it, and they wouldn’t let her tell me what she was going to wear. I hoped it wouldn’t be something stupid and overly traditional.
It was a little surprising how happy we all were. Even Dana’s mom was overjoyed with everything, and she wound up helping me more than she did her daughter. She adored my dress and constantly wanted to take pictures of me. I let her; it was cute.
Shane and Helena were Dana’s main helpers, while everybody else kinda stuck with me. They were all amazing, putting such a great thing together on such short notice. Sharon called in caterers, Bette reserved the grounds, Tina got ahold of the florists and photographers, and everybody else helped set everything up.

Wow I had to choke back tears and swallow a lump in ym throat more than a few times. I never cry at fanfics but this one almost got me. Perfect MT just fucking perfect. xx Oh and get better soon hun :)
perfect, very sad.. but perfect. Thank you.
*blows nose and puts tissue away* I was dreading the end of this story. This story was amazingly beautiful but SO sad. I’m looking forward to an update of your ‘happy’ story “You” (especially to that certain something coming :P).
Wow, what a beautifully written piece, expertly catching the emotions inlcuding sadness, love and, yes, happiness of these two wonderful people. You are definitely a wonderful writer and I hope you are feeling much better and can continue with YOU very soon. Thank you
okay – i can barely see what i writing due to the tears that are in my eyes. that was really beautiful. definitely your best writing so far. please give us something happy now. that was devestating. great job.
This story should come with a warning label like ‘May Cause Dehydration’ – it was exquisitely written. I miss Dana.
amazing as per usual. feel better so you can get back to writing a happier version of this in “You”.
Perfect. The way it should have been to begin with.
Very sad, but better than the show by a lot, more settled and peaceful and loving
you had me in tears these two last chapters :'( great story!
*gul* This was breathtakingly beautiful. I choked up more then once. You made me cry. *sigh* It was very moving, so much better and so much more human then the stuff we got to see on tv. I liked it. But I’m glad to see the newest part of “you” soon.
I know you had to do it and you did it perfectly. You are such a gifted writer even when I am not thrilled with the subject. You helped fill the void IC left.
Simply beautiful!WOW…I have a lump in my throat and holding back tears!!!You are truly gifted!!!
That was just beautiful. I was crying at the end if only the show could have done such a great job.
Best fanfic ever. What more can I say. You are incredibly talented
thank you for this story. i can’t think of a more fitting ending to dana’s cancer story. you’re truly gifted and i sincerely hope you’ll continue to write danish fanfics.
I so inspired by the beauty in how you wrote this. It gripped my heart and stayed with me. I read it yesterday, cried my tears but still it’s with me. Thank you for sharing your talent. I am so touched.
Ok I hardly even comment fanfics but how could I not on this one? I am literally in tears. I never cry from stories or movies. If you think of the saddest movie ever, I guarantee I could watch it and not one tear would form. Yet, these last two chapters have kept me crying. This fic was absolutely amazing. You’re amazing! Blew IC out of the water! They should take lessons from you. Can’t wait for an update on “You”.
Picturing the scene: You’re reading a book, or watching a movie, and you just have to call it off because you’re so into it that you find it almost painful to keep on doing it. So you decide to just quit. You press the pause bottom. You put the book in the freezer. Well, this has happened to me twice: the first one was a movie by Isabel Coixet; the second one ,Valediction. A couple of months ago I quit reading it at some point of the second chapter. I knew it was just fiction, but it felt so real… I just couldn’t make it. (I know, I know… Too corny!) But yesterday I did. I read all of it, and well, you got me speechless (you know… my English skills are so limited!! :p) Today I’ve bound it!! I handmade a little book (I love arts & crafts!). But unlike Alice with Dana’s letters, I think I won’t be able to read it again… I promise I won’t put it in the freezer, though!
