“Al, Kit and Shane, I have something to say” Bette said

They turned all turned around smiling

“The happy couple, what took you so long” Alice said

“Al, shut up” Shane said

“Sorry Bette please continue” Alice said with a smile

“Thanks Al I will (Bette said laughing), We just wanted to thank each of you for helping Kit organise everything, it really means a lot to us both that you would do that for us”

“we love you both of course we wanted to help” Shane said

“what friends are for, if not to organize a ceremony ” Alice said.

“Well we just wanted to let you know that it means the world to us” Tina said

“excuse me can I please have the happy couple” the photographer said smiling

“of course, we’ll be right there” Tina said as they both moved giving them all a hug.

Then hand in hand they followed the photographer, closely followed by the others.

Alice, Kit and Shane watched while the photographer took the photo’s of Bette, Tina and Angie.  The photographer called them over and put them into the positions he wanted once he was satisfied with the arrangement he took the photo.

They all started walking back laughing at one of Alice’s comments, when Tina held Bette back.

“What is it T” Bette said in a tender voice

“I just wanted to tell you that you look breath taking” Tina said

Bette lifted her hands cupping Tina’s face

“When I first saw you walking towards me my knees went weak, you look stunning T, I love you so much that I feel like my heart might burst, you and our family are my life”

Tina couldn’t speak, she didn’t need to Bette could see what she was feeling just by looking into her eyes they were always able to tell her everything she ever needed to know, just like now.  Bette lent forward and brushed her lips against Tina’s.

They slowly walked to join the others.  Climbing up the stairs they saw that they were all already seated and chatting amongst themselves.
