Inviting My Parents to Our Lesbian Wedding | Between Us

Yangui and Shaïne are a lesbian couple engaged to be married in Alishan’s Tefuye village. Shaïne considers marriage important in light of the legal responsibilities in partnership. Being able to sign papers, make decisions during emergencies, or formalize their relationship accumulates as small, practical moments that shape how a couple moves through the world. For Yangui, the wedding carries emotional weight. She’s always worried how her parents would respond and hesitated to bring it up. Eventually, after sharing a long, heartfelt message to her parents, her mother and aunt later reached out about wedding details. Their story is one of two people learning how to love, communicate, build family, and prepare for the next stage of life together. “Between” Us follows twelve LGBTQ+ individuals living in Taiwan as they navigate love, family, self-understanding, and the quiet turns of everyday life. Rather than defining anyone by labels, the series focuses on the experiences that shape them—the moments of doubt, the slow work of healing, the courage to speak honestly, and the relationships that make openness possible. Through intimate conversations and ordinary details, Between Us reveals how LGBTQ+ lives are built not only through struggle, but through connection, clarity, and the small decisions that lead a person toward who they wish to become. It is a portrait of resilience grounded in the simplicity of being seen. 00:00 Between Us 01:16 The Mirror of the Other 06:16 A Quiet Rebellion 14:58 From Moments to Eternity 17:57 Credits ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 🌏 TaiwanPlus | Taiwan to the World Breaking news and original programs.
