Lest I Forget (4)
“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I replied, when it occurred to me that I hadn’t seen my intended yet. “Where’s Al?”
Shane just grinned and pointed. “Right there,” she said, but she didn’t need to. I’d already seen Alice, and in that instant, nothing else mattered.
She looked more beautiful than I’d ever seen her. The dress was just as gorgeous as it had been before, but now…she looked different. There was a rosy glow to her cheeks and her hair was pulled up in back, but curled softly around her face. She was holding a bouquet of blue flowers, and looking around shyly. When she met my eyes, she grinned, and I honestly think my heart may have stopped beating for a second.
I walked toward her in a kind of daze, unable to focus on anything else. I was vaguely aware that the chatter had died down, and in the back of my mind I realized that everyone must have noticed that Alice had walked in. Not that it mattered; to me, she was the only person in the room. Wait, scratch that…she was the only person in the world to me, right then.
She was still smiling when I finally moved my feet enough to get to her. I just stood in front of her dumbly for a minute, staring at her and wondering how the hell one person could ever be so beautiful. I think I might have made her nervous; after a few seconds of my blatant staring she dropped her eyes to the floor and kept glancing up at me shyly.
“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” I whispered as I hugged her. She just grinned at me again.
“Same here,” she replied softly, and looking in her eyes, I knew that she meant it. Despite my wasted body and my short hair and all the other damage the cancer had done, she still saw me as beautiful. I loved her so much in that instant that I thought my heart would burst.
“Come on, kids,” Kit said gently from behind us. “May as well just go now.” She gave us a gentle, playful nudge, and Alice and I started walk down the aisle together hand in hand. The string quartet Helena had hired for the occasion started to play “Unchained Melody” as we walked. We’d decided early on that the wedding march was stupid, and as the music played I knew it had been a great idea to do it this way instead.

I don’t know how you do it, but you just get better and better. Amazing chapter.
Yet again another breath taking chapter. I love Dana and Alice. This is simply amazing
sigh…that was so fucking incredible. I really think that may have been my absolute favorite thing that I’ve ever read of yours. It was just…whatever, there are no words. Sooooo good.
Beautiful! Thank you for another great update! The wedding I wish we could have seen on the show. So Danish that they woke up surprised that the big day was finally upon them. “If you gave her some security, her laptop and good food, she was pretty happy with life.” — I’m the same way! Except it could be mediocre food… I love how you wrote Alice’s reactions to the response to her book. Very “Alice”. And Gemma is a great character. Needless to say, I am looking forward to the next chapter!
I said it to you before, this chapter was sweet and cute. Looking forward to the next chapter when their children will be there…and ofcourse that special device you promised. ;)
that was realy beautiful. the vows were perfect. loved it.
Just re-read it because i was slacking like the nurse and didn’t leave a comment first time. Fabulously happy and beautiful vows :)
Aaaw yay that was so cute. Great chapter :)
Awesome as usual!
MT, I am back and thrilled to be able to read the last 3 chapters all at once. I am touched by the proposal in Ireland. A declining the 1st proposal made a lot of sense. What a great wedding it was. The wedding vows were astounding. It brought tears to my eyes. MT. you are doing a incredibly marvelous job in D talking about their past. I am in awe of how you write A’s responses. This story is truly beautifully written. As sad as A could no longer speak, their ability to communicate proved without a doubt that they were soulmates. Please let A linger a little bit longer. I realize all things must come to an end. But it is just too hard for me personally to accept it. I can’t wait to read more. Thank you very much MT.
fantastic..as usual:)
I saw you had posted and decided to keep it as a reward until I got posted…it was so worth it. Great!
