Bette signaled to Tina to continue.

Tina: Bette, you know very well how much I love and adore you. This ceremony is not to tell you that, but to remind you. I think somewhere along our journey we may have forgotten that. Somewhere between work and life things gotconfused to say the least.

Alice looked over and Dana and quietly took her hand.

Tina: I swear to you Bette Porter that I wont allow them to get confused any longer. I swear to you that we will talk things through always. I swear my undying love and devotion. Not even death will take that away. Thank you for continuing to love me and thank you for waiting for me. I love you.

Dana: They are just too perfect.

Alice: I want to be that perfect.

Dana looked down at their intertwined hands.

Dana: Maybe WE are.

Melanie: I assume you have something you wish to say to Tina.

Bette: Tina, I am so humbled by your love. It is I who should be thanking you. What I did was unforgivable and yet here I am, forgiven.

Tina: Babe, please lets not go in circles. I just want to move forward.

Bette: And we are. I never thought in my whole life that I would allow myself to be so vulnerable to someone else. But after our first kiss I knew that you would not only be the person who helps me fly, but the same person who could bring me down. I unfortunately had the opportunity to see my life without you and it wasnt pretty. I didnt know which end was up. All I knew and all I cared about was that at night when I went to bed you werent next to me. If that wasnt bad enough when I woke up I was alone as well. The first few weeks I would go to bed and hope that it was all a dream. Waking up used to break my heart. I never want to go through that again. So I am here to tell you that I will never let that happen. I will do anything and everything in power to keep you happy and us healthy. I am devoted to you and only until the day I die.

Shane: And maybe even after death.

Alice and Dana giggled and Shanes comment.

Bette: Yes Shane and even after I die.

Bette obviously heard Shanes comment.

Bette: I promise to give you all of me at all times. I love you.

Melanie: Im not even sure you two needed me.

Bette and Tina never took their eyes off of each other.

Melanie: I know pronounce these vows renewed. You may both kiss your bride.

Bette swooped Tina into her arms and kissed her with more passion then she even knew she had.

Their friends and family stood and applauded loudly. Each of them with tears flowing freely from their eyes.

The night was beautiful. Kit was DJ and played all their favorite songs.
The sky was a perfect deep blue. The moon was full and the stars were bright. Tine finally pulled Bette aside

Tina: Bette, this has been the most amazing night of my life. I dont ever want to forget it.

Bette: I hope we never will.

Tina: What time are all the guests leaving?

Bette: I dont know. Why?

Tina leaned in and whispered in Bette ear.

Tina: Do you know how long I have been waiting for you?

Bette: I know baby. I know. Soon ok?

Tina: ok, but it better be really soon
