[DON'T PLAY THE SONG YET!]
July 7th
JOSEPHINE BARRY has been the one in charge for her niece's wedding. She has been living with her girlfriend of a lifetime, Gertrude, for, well, all of her life. They never got married, though, and Diana and Fred's wedding was the perfect occasion for getting her mansion's west wing all decorated and set up. All of this with the help of the dedicated and most romantic Ruby Gillis, of course.
As Josephine Barry checks every single one of her employees is doing their work, her niece is in her room, surprisingly not freaking out, relaxed and self-assured instead.
Diana Barry looks at her reflection in the mirror. Ruby's done her raven hair in a semi-fishtail updo and her make up, delicate and discreet, highlights every single feature of her face.
Her dress, lacy, with a slightly plunging neckline and a skirt of tulle, suits her dazzling personality, or so Ruby said when they chose it together months ago.
"Oh, my god, Di..." Ruby whispers quietly, staring at the reflection of her friend in the mirror. "You look just like a princess... like a queen"
"You look beyond beautiful too, Ruby"
Ruby herself has chosen a long, chiffon dress. The color? A light shade of pink, obviously!
There's a knock on the door and it's Ruby the one who goes get it, revealing none other than Eliza Barry.
"Diana... you look beautiful" she says, already tearful.
Diana sees her from the reflection in the mirror, instantly standing up.
"Mom?"
She wasn't expecting her mother showing up at her wedding. She made it pretty clear when she told her — "I'm not going to support you marrying someone like him, Diana. This is not how we raised you, Diana".
"I... I hope you can forgive us" is all Eliza manages to say, looking at Diana as she stands paralyzed in the middle of the room, admiring every single detail of her own daughter that she thought lost not long ago.
