Ok, I'm sorry for updating late but I did say that this would happen. I've been really busy lately, but I hope to continue this story. I'm just going to have to ask for your patience as I balance out school and everything else that I have. I will update this story.
Chapter 1: "I do" means forever
It was the perfect day. The sun was shining, and the birds outside were chirping cheerfully as if they knew the big event that lay ahead of Lorelai. Lorelai turned over and her eyes shot open she came to the realization of what day it was. Today she would be getting married. Today she would be Mrs. Luke Danes. It sounded so wonderful. Lorelai said the name over and over again in her head. She sat up and saw a big and beautiful wedding gown hanging the closet just waiting for her to wear it, and walk down the aisle. Smiling she stood up and headed to the bathroom to get ready with a smile plastered on her face. How long had it been for her to actually wait for a day like this to finally come? It was too long in Lorelai's opinion.
Anyone who saw her at that moment would have thought she was never more ready, but inside butterflies formed as she stopped and thought of all the events to come. Questions started to enter her mind that she never stopped to think about. Questions that turned her broad smile into a straight face full of worry and doubt. What if this marriage didn't work? What if she was left at the altar? What if… her mind was full of these questions now and inside she started to panic. She was never happier to find Rory entering the bathroom.
"Rory!" Lorelai exclaimed, "You're here. When did you get here?"
"I got here 5 minuets ago. I was trying to find where you were…you ok?" Rory replied seeing her mother's face.
"No. I can't do this."
"Can't do what?"
"This wedding!' Lorelai exclaimed.
"Mom, it's ok. Come on, it's Luke. How long have you been dreaming of this day…the day you'd be Mrs. Luke Danes." Rory reassuringly replied.
Lorelai nodded and breathed deeply trying to calm her nerves.
"Let's get you dressed…Grandma will be here any minute." Rory said pushing Lorelai toward her room.
Lorelai groaned, "Did you have to remind me?"
Rory smiled, "Well, the way I see it, you would have found out anyway, when she did arrive."
"Well, that would have been time that I could have spent being happy." Lorelai replied jokingly.
The dress was perfect, everything was perfect from the flowers to the dresses to the atmosphere of the church. Anxiously Lorelai stood behind a doubly door waiting for her signal to approach the altar with Richard standing beside her. She breathed in deeply as she heard her cue and just as she had practiced a million times before rehearsing in the weeks passed, she slowing walked elegantly never taking her eyes of Luke. She smiled at the thought of actually being his wife. All the former nerves that she had earlier in the morning melted away as she saw Luke, smiling waiting to receive her.
She stopped and Luke went and took her away from her father and walked up the couple of steps. The preacher than began the wedding. It was absolutely perfect, and as she looked at Luke and put the ring on him and kissed, she knew with her whole being that Luke Danes was the right man for her all along. She felt giddy inside when the preacher announced them married and Mr. and Mrs. Luke Danes. The reception was held by the gazebo and Lorelai thought that there was never this many people in Stars Hollow. Practically everyone had come. As soon as Lorelai was free she saw Rory running to her eager to embrace her.
"I'm so happy for you!" Rory exclaimed.
"I know. I mean think of it, I'm Mrs. Luke Danes!"
Rory nodded excideley.
"I'm so glad you could come Rory,"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Rory replied.
They hugged each other for a few moments. "So, hey, how's your boyfriend doing? Was he a little sad to let you go?"
"Daniel's doing great. He would have come with me but his family had plans with him, so he couldn't."
Daniel was Rory's new boyfriend and Rory and to admit, he was pretty marvelous. She couldn't help but be happy that she found him. She hoped that one day she would find that happiness her mother had with Luke. She had no doubt though it would happen.
Luke soon came over to inform Lorelai that they were ready for pictures. Lorelai and Rory followed Luke and posed for quite a couple of pictures, and than it was time for the bouquet to be tossed. Lorelai threw it over her head. She heard screeches and then turned around to see who caught it. She smiled upon seeing that it was Rory.
"Looks like we'll have another Gilmore wedded soon." Pattie said. Everyone laughed.
Richard and Emily walked over to Lorelai and congratulated her and Luke. Lorelai was extremely happy to see them smile. For once in her life, she did something that made them happy. This made her smile even more. Soon she was called to cut the cake with Luke and they laughed the whole time. Cake was handed out to the people and everyone gladly ate it along with the other foods set aside. As they sat and observed the new couple and the table no one could doubt their happiness at finally being married. Everyone was just so glad at how everything turned out for them.
Soon music was being played and it was time to dance. Of course Luke and Lorelai got up and shared the first dance together. They both radiated as the glided across the floor. Rory unfortunately didn't have her boyfriend with her but it didn't stop her from dancing. She danced with a couple of guys she didn't know and one special dance with Luke, her new stepfather.
"Have I told you how happy I am that your mother and I are married now?" Luke asked as they danced
"A hundred times already and still counting." Rory replied with a laugh. "And have I told you how happy I am that you're my new stepfather?"
Luke shook his head, "This would be the first, but I never doubted that you would be."
"Well, I really am happy for you two."
"I'm very happy as well." Luke replied.
"It's amazing, you know. You're story is the kind that will be told to your children to you're grandchildren, and so on." Rory replied dazed.
Luke smiled, "I don't want to think too far ahead."
Rory returned her attention to Luke and laughed. " Anyway, where are you going on you're honeymoon."
"You mean that your mother never told you." Luke asked surprised.
"Well, she wanted to keep it a secret."
"Oh, and so you think that you can get the answer out of me, then?" Luke asked with a critical eye.
"Well, it's not like I'm going to stock you and watch you're every move…in fact I wouldn't even think about doing that." Rory replied
Luke laughed and nodded, "Well, we decided to go to the Grand Canyon. It's very beautiful this time a year."
"Yes, I agree."
"Hey, don't tell you mother that I ruined the 'surprise'" Luke said
"Agreed" Rory answered with a laugh.
By then the song that was playing stopped and after a few more songs the reception was concluded. It was now time for the newly wedded couple to go on their honeymoon. Lorelai approached her daughter and they embraced each other not letting go after what seemed like days.
"You take good care of yourself, mom." Rory replied.
"I will, and you too. Drive safely on you way back to New York."
Rory nodded and though both tried they couldn't stop tears from coming. It wasn't a sad parting though, because these tears were of joy. Joy of the happiness found in the union of two people that loved each other. It was funny, because Rory felt like she was the mother bidding her daughter good-bye. She would have to share her mother with Luke but Rory wouldn't have had it any other way than it was. She could tell that Lorelai was just purely happy and overjoyed. Lorelai wished in her heart that Rory too would find love like hers and Luke's, and Rory secretly wished that she would as well.
Bubbles surrounded the couple as they made their way to the car and headed toward the airport. Rory just stared at the car and watched it until it was out of site. She was happy for her mother. It was truly something, how all the things seemed to have had its place in their story. She mused on the beginning of this story and wondered what events would come up, because she knew that this wasn't the end but was merely begging of Luke and Lorelai's life together.
So, what do you think? I want to know. I am aware it isn't the best wedding scene, but I hope it answered some questions about Rory's boyfriend. The next chapter will reveal a whole lot more on the Daniel deal and I hope that it will be written better with fewer mistakes. Anyway, please REVIEW! They are greatly appreciated.
