Lest I Forget (4)
“You just do whatever you’re most comfortable with, dear. It’s beautiful, go try it on!” my mom insisted, pushing me toward the fitting room and standing outside it while I tried the dress on. It fit perfectly, and I had to admit that it really seemed perfect for me. When I stepped out of the dressing room, my mom gasped and then grinned at me.
“If you don’t wear that dress, I’ll come and abduct you before the ceremony just to force you to put it on anyway,” she said happily. “Really, Dana, it’s perfect.” As soon as she said it, I saw four heads pop around the doorframe, and agreement was voiced all around. Embarrassed, I told my mom I’d wear it, and she and the others talked happily while I went and changed back into my clothes. Lenore ended up buying both dresses, which I didn’t fully understand until later, but I had to admit it made me happy. She was being wonderful; hell, everybody was.
We all went out for lunch afterward and talked over the wedding plans a little. Well, everyone except Alice and I did, since we had nothing to do with it anyway when it came right down to it. We just held hands under the table and kept looking at each other and smiling instead.
In the end, I think Alice was happy her mom had bought her the dress she liked. While she felt a little guilty at the amount her mom had spent (“That debt was years ago, I could honestly care less if she ever pays it back. I don’t want her spending a fortune on this!” she’d said when Lenore had first offered to help pay for the wedding) I knew she loved the dress. I wanted the day to be perfect for her, and quite frankly if Lenore hadn’t so happily bought the damn thing I would have done it myself and lied about it. It looked fantastic on her, and once I’d seen her in it, I couldn’t imagine her wearing anything else for the occasion.
That left just the vows for us to take care of, and honestly, it was a struggle. While we did have things going on career-wise at the same time, the main obstacle was simply having no idea what to say.

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!
