“I’m so nervous. I didn’t think I would be this nervous.”
Tina looked up from pinning her daughter’s curly hair up with a pearl-encrusted clip and smiled at her daughters reflection in the mirror. She was standing behind Angelica, who looked petite and a little lost as she sat on a cloud of fluffy material that made up the skirt of her wedding dress. “It’s natural to feel that way, sweetheart. This is a huge day for you.”
Angelica shifted in her seat. “I know. I just didn’t think it would feel so… I don’t know. It sounds stupid, but it feels real. Not that my whole life isn’t real. The moment feels so.. big. You know? What if I trip or forget my vows or drop Derek’s ring?”
“Deep breaths, Ang,” came the sardonic reply from Angelica’s maid of honor Jessie. “It won’t do for you to start hyperventilating and pass out.”
That got Angelica to crack a smile. “I can’t help being nervous, okay? You’d be nervous, too.”
“If I was marrying a guy like Derek I’d be too busy counting my blessings to be anxious. You’d have to stop me from booking it down the aisle before he could change his mind,” Jessie laughed. “Anyhow, if it makes you feel better, I can report that Derek is just as nervous as you are. I saw him a little bit ago and he looked as jumpy as a cat.”
Angelica’s smile faded. “You don’t think he’s having second thoughts, do you?”
“Now you’re just being ridiculous,” Jessie drawled. “He’s stupidly in love with you and wants this day to be perfect. Just like you’re desperately in love with him, and worried about making a mistake. It’s going to be fine.”
“This is why that antiquated tradition of the bride not seeing the bridegroom before the ceremony needs to go. If you could see each other, you’d both calm right down,” another one of Angie’s bridesmaids, Savannah, chimed in. She was waving a fan lazily in front of her face. “It also might help if it wasn’t so hot. Doesn’t this place have air conditioning?”
“Yeah, Angie,” the last bridesmaid Lucy piped up. “You might have done us a favor and gotten married in the spring,” she teased. “Why’d you have to pick the 4th of July anyway?”

Please continue, I’m intrigued.
Thanks… nicely written and interesting storyline.
Beautifully written. I hope you will either continue with this story or write others. You obviously have a talent for it. I can understand Bette leaving Tina and ending a bad relationship that just wasn’t working for her instead of staying and ignoring the problems but sad that her relationship, love and support of Angelica was so conditional that she would abandon her when Angie didn’t meet her expectations. It was as if she placed more value on her ambitions for Angie than Angie’s own happiness. Bette has her freedom but at what cost? On another note as much as characters are portrayed differently I never believe a Bette character would turn her back on her child no matter what. I’ve read so many stories where Tina takes Angie away and whether Bette knows of her existence or not she always has a heart for her baby so it was kind of hard to read that she wouldn’t be there for Angie on her special day even if she didn’t agree with her choices. Thanks for the story.
Interesting story here. It seems you turned Bette into the female version of Melvin. I can understand her letting go of her bad relationship with Tina but I could never really see her letting go of Angelica for anything.
Wonderfully written. thank you.
I’ve been waiting for you to enter my life green apple. You nailed the controlling part of Bette’s personality. Although, I don’t know if she would have ditched the wedding but you never know. So true on the relationship part, I agree with every word. Loved this, thank you
Very interesting. I believe that Bette and Tina share an extraordinary connection, but a part of me also believes that Tina would have gone the safe sane route post-season 1. You have a talent for storytelling. I hope to read more from you.
You must help them find their way back to each other.
good written story and intrigued! I’m a tibetter, so it’s the kind of story-line I rarely read. But still, I’ve been drawn to since first page. And it end well, sad but logical with understanding. maybe u will consider writing another story? thx for sharing
Thank you,sad story.
Loved the writing, but the circumstances of the story made me sad. I do hope Tina tells Angie that Bette was there after all (or, better yet, Bette herself). Thanks for posting. :)
No words can express the pain.in my heart i feel….that part about bette stopping then getting in the car and tina finally let go omg it kills me…and i agree i can never see bette disowning angelica in any way, her relationship with tina yea but angie of course not bette loves her in ways you cant express…i hope you write more and they at least be a family in the end probably not in the tibette way but family at the very least
