Tina was sympathetic to Bette, knowing the dreams she’d had for their daughter. But Tina didn’t think it was fair that Bette wouldn’t respect Angie’s choices and her freedom to make them. When Bette had refused to come to the wedding, Tina had been sure that Bette would break down and change her mind. Bette, missing her only child’s wedding? Tins hadn’t believed it was possible. And yet Bette was doing just that.
She had reached the end of the aisle and sat down in her pew, leaving a space at the end for Michael.
“Hey, mother of the bride. How are you holding up?” the woman next to her asked.
“I’m good, Alice. I’m glad you’re here.” Tina gave her friend’s hand a thankful squeeze.
“Are you kidding? I’m the earth mother. No way was I going to miss this.”
“You’ve been a huge help to me with planning everything. Thank you.”
“It was nothing. So, have you cried yet? Nevermind, I can tell you have, your eyes look a bit pink. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.” Alice opened her clutch to reveal a handkerchief, a mirror, and a tube of waterproof mascara. Tina grinned.
“I knew I could count on you, Al.” Tina caught Kit’s eye further down the aisle and raised her hand in s subtle wave. Kit waved back.
“Ah, yes,” Alice murmured. “There is at least one Porter present today. Did you hear anything from Bette? Like, at all?”
Tina was mercifully spared from answering because the bridegrooms and bridesmaids had finished their procession down the aisle and the organ music halted and changed. “Here Comes the Bride” blasted proudly from the pipes, and the entire church stood and turned to watch Angelica make her way down the aisle.
All thoughts of Bette left Tina’s mind as she looked at her daughter for what might as well have been the first time, she was so transformed by radiant beauty. Tina’s tears flowed freely as she watched her baby float down the aisle.
Tina made use of Alice’s handkerchief during the ceremony. She couldn’t seem to stop crying as her daughter said her vows, kissed her new husband, and turned to face the assemblage as Mrs. Derek Martin.

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
