«I didn’t know I could feel so much love», Bette explained, choking up.

«It’s an amazing feeling, isn’t it babe?»

«It’s fucking wonderful», Bette replied, laughing through her tears…

Two weeks later…

«I don’t know about this dress…», Tina was saying to Dana, sighing heavily. Dana rolled her eyes. «You look gorgeous Tina and I’m sure Bette will think so too», she told her. Tina took another look in the mirror, rearranging her wedding dress. «I know… I’m just a bit nervous you know», she giggled.

Dana gave her a hug. «This feels so right Tina, you and Bette getting married», she told her. The last week had been so busy with the invitations and the planning. When she had heard that Bette and Tina wanted to get married, Danielle Collins had called and offered her house in Malibu to hold the ceremony. Bette had told Tina she would love to get married on the beach so they had accepted the offer with great pleasure.

Tina’s eyes filled with tears. «I know it is… When I think that I came so close to losing all this», she told Dana.

«Hey, forget about that Tina. You made a mistake but the love you two have is bigger than everything else», Dana reassured her.

«Thank you Dana… You really are a great friend», Tina replied.

In the room across the hall, Bette was pacing back and forth. «Why don’t you sit down, dear or you’ll wear a hole in the carpet», Irene said, chuckling. Bette stopped and looked at her. «I don’t know why I’m so nervous about this…», she told the old lady as she sat down. Irene took her hands in hers. «It is pretty normal to be nervous on your wedding day. I know I was a nervous wreck on mine», she chuckled. Bette smiled at her. «I love Tina so much…», she started but she chocked up on her words.

«You don’t have to tell me. I can see it in your eyes when you look at her», she replied. Then the old woman took a breath. «I never thought I would be part of my daughter’s wedding», she told Bette, her voice quivering. «Of course, I never thought I would ever get to know you Bette», she added.
