Lest I Forget (4)
“Well, like I said, you can do whatever you want for it, Al. To me it’s just the white noise in the background.” The grin she gave me at that was dazzling, and we spent the rest of that night just cuddled up on the couch together.
“This is for you too, though, Dana. It’s your wedding as much as it is mine,” she said as we sat there. I just hugged her tighter.
“I know, but Al, whatever you want to do is perfect with me.” She twisted in my arms and I knew she was going to protest again, so I quickly added, “Baby, everything else aside, I almost died. I almost didn’t get to have this. I’m just happy to be able to marry you, Alice. That’s why I don’t care what kind of ceremony or reception or honeymoon we have, all right? I just want to marry you. Nothing else matters, as long as you’re happy.” And that was all that was ever said about it, and although I was touched that she always asked my opinion on wedding matters, I really couldn’t have cared less. I think she knew that, and asked me anyway just to be polite. It was rather endearing.
In the end, she decided to keep it simple. We invited the group (obviously), my parents, my brother, Harrison, and a couple of her friends from college. She sent an invitation to her mother, and I was pleasantly surprised when Lenore actually got back to her soon after. She was around, of course, but we didn’t really hear much from her unless she needed something, and I knew it had taken a lot for Alice to risk inviting her. But Lenore seemed overjoyed about it, which was actually pretty sweet.
“I know she loves me,” Alice confessed one night not long after Lenore had called to exuberantly say she’d be there and wanted to help with things beforehand. “It’s just…I don’t know, it’s almost like she’d rather be my friend than my mom. Which isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s weird.” She shrugged after she’d said this, and I knew she was being honest, although I could also see how much it hurt her to acknowledge that her mom never really acted like a mom.

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!
