The month ended sooner than it began, and it was now a week before the 'wedding of the season.' Luke is completely moved into Lorelai's house, and his apartment is back to being an office.

Everything for the wedding is set in stone, except for one thing.

"Luke, we don't have a song to dance to," Lorelai says.

He smiles to himself. "I have one in mind. Here, listen."

He goes over to the stereo and puts a CD in, and presses play. As the words float through the room, Lorelai smiles and the lyrics bring tears to her eyes.

"That's it. That is our song."


It's the night after Valentines day, which means that it is the night before Lorelai Gilmore becomes Mrs. Backwards-Baseball Cap. Rory is home, and trying to keep Lorelai from going crazy without having Luke in the house; he's sleeping on the couch in his office.

When Lorelai thinks that Rory is asleep, she reaches for the phone and dials half of a phone number, then is startled with.

"What do you think you're doing?" her daughter asks.

'Think fast Gilmore', "Ordering a pizza?"

"We have pizza in the fridge. You were calling Luke!"

"No I wasn't." Rory gives her a 'yeah right' look. "Fine! I was, you caught me. Its just that…I miss him."

"Mom, he's been gone for two hours. And you're going to see him in less than twenty-four."

"So. I want my Luke," she says stubbornly.

"Well, I'm sorry. It's a wedding rule. Bride and groom can't see each other the night before the wedding."

"Ha! See! We can't see each other…nothing in the rule saying that I can't talk to him," Lorelai says. "Please Rory, let me talk to him."

Rory rolls her eyes, "Fine. I'll be in my room."

Lorelai smiles triumphantly and redials the office-which was Luke's old phone number, so of course she wont forget it.

After a couple rings, a gruff "Hello?" is heard.

She smiles, "Hey."

Luke looks at the clock, "Hey, why are you calling? Isn't bad luck or something?"

"You and Rory are so into this 'bad luck' thing. No it's not. Only if you see me. To answer your first question, I'm calling because, I miss you."

"Lorelai, I haven't been gone that long."

"That's not what you're supposed to say. You're supposed to say, 'Lorelai, I miss you too.'"

He rolls his eyes and says, "Of course I miss you."

She smiles, "Good." They're quiet for a few moments, then Lorelai says, "We're getting married, Luke."

"Yeah we are. In a few hours."

"Can you believe after all we've been through we will finally be together for ever? It will be forever, right?" she asks timidly.

"Yes I can believe it, cause I've never felt this way before. And it will be for longer than forever. I'm in this for the long haul, Lorelai."

"So am I," she says, trying to hold back a sniffle.


The next day, everyone in the town is buzzing with happiness and excitement. Especially Lorelai and Luke.

Lorelai and Rory had an appointment to get their hair and nails done. Lorelai's hair is going to be in a half up bun, with tendrils hanging from the front, and the lower half of her hair is going to be curly. Rory's hair is going to be similar, only her hair is going to be up in a bun with curls (a/n: kinda like a Prom up-do thingy, click the link in my profile to see Rory's hair).

The ceremony is to begin at 4:00 in the afternoon, and the happy couple can hardly contain themselves. Lorelai is standing in front of the mirror in the bungalow, and Rory appears behind her.

"Mom," Rory says.

Lorelai turns to look at Rory and says, "Yeah."

Rory smiles. "You're getting married today. I'm so happy for you. Luke is a great guy, and I'm glad you're marring him and not dad."

Lorelai wraps Rory in a hug and says, "Honey, I'm glad that I'm marrying Luke too. He's the only one that I would be married to." They pull away from the hug and Lorelai says, "Can I tell you something that you have to take to the grave with you. Not even Lane can know."

Rory's eyes go big, "Wow. This is gonna be a good secret if Lane can't know. What is it?"

Lorelai sighs, "The reason I didn't marry Max was because he wasn't Luke."

"I know that."

Lorelai looks confused, "How did you know that?"

"Because Luke was the last person you saw the night before your wedding. Then we took that impromptu road trip."

"Nice logic. What time is it?"

Rory looks to the clock on the night stand and says, "3:45. Fifteen more minutes!"


Soft music begins to play as Rory and Logan make their way down the isle, followed by Jess and April, Jackson and Sookie. Little Davy walks down the isle, everyone 'awes' at how cute he is, he blushes and runs toward his dad. Martha begins her walk down the isle and takes a hand full of rose petals and drops them. She does this a few times and runs out, thinking she did something wrong, she backs up and gets some she already dropped, and drops them again.

The bridal march begins and everyone stands. Lorelai and her father come in to view, and Luke's breath is caught in his throat. They smile at each other. This is it.

Richard leans over and whispers, "Are you ready, sweetheart?"

Lorelai turns to look at her father and says, "You haven't called me that in forever, Daddy. But, yes, I am more than ready."

They begin to walk down the isle. Lorelai looks at Luke and smiles wider. She turns to Rory who already has tears in her eyes, then looks at Logan, who smiles and nods at her, she smiles back. They finally finish what seems like a never ending walk, and Richard hands Lorelai over to Luke, and goes to take a seat next to Emily. Lorelai hands Rory her bouquet.

"Who gives this woman to this man?" Reverend Skinner asks.

Richard stands and says, "Her mother and I do."

"Welcome family and friends. We've all been waiting for the day when Lorelai and Luke would admit that they were more than friends. We waited for eight years. But here we are today, to see two beloved people of this small town come together. I've known Luke since he was a boy. He's grown into a kind generous man, and has found the one he belongs with.

I've known Lorelai since she showed up at the Independence Inn, with a little baby in her arms. She has grown in to a caring woman, and has been an amazing mother, and friend to all in this town.

Lucas, do you take Lorelai to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for as long as you both shall live?"

Luke squeezes her hands and says, "I do."

Reverend Skinner turns to Lorelai, "Lorelai, do you take Lucas to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, for rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, for as long as you both shall live?"

A tear falls down her cheek and she answers, "Yes, I do."

"At this time, Luke and Lorelai would like to tell each other how they feel. Lucas?"

He smiles and says, "Lorelai, we've known each other for eleven years. From the moment you walked into my diner, there was something different about me. For some reason, you made life worth living, and work an enjoyment. When I finally got the courage to kiss you, I was praying to every God there is that you wouldn't push me away. We have both done some things in the past that we regret, but the past is best forgotten. I love you Lorelai, and I always will."

Lorelai is crying tears of joy as Luke finishes.

"Lorelai?" Reverend Skinner says.

Lorelai clears her throat. "Well, that was a tough act to follow. Luke, you have always been there for me and Rory. I always felt that there could be something more between us, but I was always afraid to act on the feelings that I had for you because I wasn't the best person to be in a relationship with back then. I didn't want to lose you as a boyfriend and as a friend in one failed swoop. The night you kissed me, I swear I was flying. When you kiss me now, I'm still flying. This is what love is supposed to feel like. I'll love you, always and forever, Luke."

"May I have the rings please?" Logan and Rory hand him the rings. "Luke, put this ring on Lorelai's finger and say, with this ring, I thee wed."

Luke slides the band on her finger and says, "With this ring, I thee wed."

"Lorelai, put this ring on Luke's finger and say, with this ring, I thee wed."

She slides his ring on his finger and says, "With this ring, I thee wed."

Luke reaches up and wipes the tears from her face as the Reverend says, "It is with great honor that I now present you Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Danes. Luke, you may kiss your bride."

Luke lifts her vale and kisses her lips tenderly. As they pull away from each other, they are engulfed in hugs by their daughters.

"MOM! You did it. Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you two," Rory says, as she is in her mothers arms.

Lorelai smiles and sniffles a bit and says, "Thanks babe."

Logan shakes Luke's hand and says, "Congratulations man."

"Thank you," Luke says.

Jess walks up to Lorelai and surprises her with a hug and says, "Congratulation, Aunt Lorelai."

Lorelai laughs and says, "Thank you Jess. You don't have to call me that."

"Yeah, well, you've earned the title. I'm glad Luke married you."

"Thank you. I'm glad too."

After the meet and greet and congratulations, Luke and Lorelai make it to the square. Lane has her D.J. station up and people are standing around talking and having a good time, waiting for the bride and groom to arrive.

Lane sees them and says into her microphone. "Ladies and Gentlemen, for the…well, second time in public, Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Danes!"

Everyone cheers, and Luke and Lorelai smile to each other, they can't hear that enough. The Mr. and Mrs. Stuff, not the cheering.

"Luke and Lorelai please, come to the dance floor and dance your first dance as a married couple," Lane says.

Luke takes Lorelai's hand and brings her to the dance floor, a soft tune begins to play.

All through my wandering years
I always said I was biding my time

But alone in the dark I'd face my fears
That no other heart would come to mine

Lorelai and Luke are staring into each others eyes. "Hey," Lorelai says, breaking their silence.

"What?"

She smiles at him. "We got married today."

He smiles and says, "That's the rumor."

"This is the happiest day of my life," she says in all honesty.

"Mine too."

At first when you found me
It took me a while till I realized
Why I felt weak when you were around me
Why I couldn't speak when I looked in your eyes

-Flashback-

He looks up from his order pad to a crazy-beautiful brunette demanding coffee. He explains to her the importance of waiting her turn, she ignores him going on and on about how if she doesn't get coffee, life as we know it would end. After badgering him for almost five minutes she picks up a news paper. Thinking 'finally, she shuts up' she asks for his birthday. He doesn't tell her, she talks and talks about pointless stuff, finally he gives in and tells her his birthday. As he hands her the coffee, she hands him a scrap of paper.

'You will meet an annoying woman today, give her coffee and she'll go away.'

-End Flashback-

All this time I've been searching
Until you, I was lost in my dreams
And I never knew that love could feel like heaven
Watching over me

They lean in and kiss, both happy to be in their own heaven.
