A/n So I've moved...this is the first chance I've had to work on this chapter. I gave a little nod to the revival here...Also, I've been forgetting to mention this...but I have always imagined Amber as Maiara Walsh from Notorious. I'm still a fool and looking for a beta...reviews are coffee to the soul.

"I want us to have our day. With all that we put love through; we owe it to love to have a happy ending." Lorelai insisted.

Luke rolled his eyes at his future wife, "If you say so dear."

"See," Lorelai said. "You already have the hang of being a husband!"

The day of the wedding Rory and Lorelai arrived earlier then they needed too. They wanted to have coffee in the potting shed, together like they did when Rory was a little girl. At the time, Lorelai had coffee and Rory would drink hot chocolate.

The venue looked similar to the Independence Inn when it had been operational. The outside was unchanged. There was still a large wraparound porch with a large grassy area. The inside had kept its same basic structure. Mia's Nephew, Tyler replaced the chimney and upgraded the kitchen. The lobby that once held the desk and dining room now consisted of wedding samples and local vendor information but could also become a banquet room for large weddings. The potting shed that Lorelai and Rory had once lived in was now the bride's room.

When Rory and Lorelai woke up that morning, they made their way to the Wedding Venue. Rory was dressed and ready to go when her mother was done with her hair and makeup.

"You look amazing," Rory said when her mom put her dress on.

"Thank you," Lorelai beamed.

"And happy," Rory said, her voice broke and tears stung her eyes. "Very, very happy."

"I am happy kid," Lorelai said hugging her daughter and wiping her own tears away. "I'm marrying Luke."

"You are," Rory said, as a tear slide down her cheek. "It's about damn time."

Lorelai laughed, "I agree."

"What are you two doing," Sookie exclaimed walking in the room. "There are no tears on a wedding day."

Mia hugged both girls. "I am so proud of how far you girls have come."

"Ok no more tears," Lorelai said dabbing at her eyes.

As the bridal party lined up to walk down the aisle, Rory turned to her mom, "Last chance. No cold feet?"

"None, my feet are nice toasty," Lorelai answered.

Richard Gilmore, her father walked Lorelai down the aisle. "Thank you, daddy," she whispered and kissed his cheek.

On a cloudless day, Luke Danes married Lorelai Gilmore. Those who were a witness would all swear that the bride's feet never touched the ground and the groom's smile never left his face. There would be other weddings and other love stories, but for those who watched this one unfold from the beginning, it was perfect.

Even with their friends and loved ones surrounding them, it was just the two of them reciting traditional vows.

"Nothing says it better than "till death do us part," Lorelai insisted during the planning phase.

When Mia pronounced them husband and wife, Luke sealed their union with a kiss, and the crowd of family and friends stood up and cheered, there wasn't a dry eye in the house, even if some would never admit it.

"If I can have your attention," Zack interrupted dinner. "It's time for the speeches, first we are going to hear from the maid of honor

Zack passed the microphone to Rory, "Hi," she started. "I've known Luke for a long time he's been like a father to me. When he and my mom got together, I saw how happy he made her. Mom, I love you so much and I am so happy for you and Luke," she had to hold back tears. "I wish you nothing but the best and hope that someday I can be as happy as you are today on my wedding day."

After hugging her mom and Luke, Rory handed the microphone to Jess.

"I think I said everything I needed to say last night," Jess said, looking only at Luke. "Except it's about time," Jess smirked and Luke laughed.

All around him was love and laughter. Luke only had eyes for Lorelai. Even Rory's his mother and TJ and Rory's grandparents looked like they were having a good time.

" I miss you. I want to resolve things when I get back."

After his talk with Luke, Jess had the chance to really consider everything Luke was saying to him. He did love Amber and he did want to find a way to make it work, with her. Her actions were unforgivable, but his Uncle had found a way to forgive Lorelai. If Luke could get the girl, then so could Jess.

Zack called the wedding party to the dance floor for the wedding party to dance.

"The Bride says," Rory said, taking Jess by the hand and leading him to the dance floor.

"I…guess," Jess stammered, as he took her hand and began swaying to the music.

"It was a beautiful ceremony," Rory said.

"It was nice," he answered.

"So how are you? How's the publishing business?"

"Truncheon's good."

"No date tonight?"

"You're very observant. No what's his face?" Jess said changing the subject.

"Logan? We broke up a few years ago. He lives in London and is engaged to a French heiress. Which I'm sure his parents are thrilled about," Rory said.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Jess spat out.

"The heiress was inevitable," Rory shrugged. "I just broke up with someone else, or rather, he broke up with me," Rory was nearing Gilmore ramble mode, which at some point in his life he found adorable.

"That's too bad."

"Yeah, well he chose his career over me," Rory said bitterly. "What about you?" Rory changed the subject.

"What about me?"

"You can't tell me you are really turning into a recluse?"

"I have someone," he choked out.

"It's love?" Rory questioned.

"Yeah, it's love," Jess said, avoiding eye contact, or the, urge to add, unfortunately.

"Matthews's poet must have explained love to you then."

"Something like that," he said, walking away as the song ended.

When he got back to his seat, Amber sent him a text message back.

"I don't deserve you. I don't know how you can forgive me…except you get a free pass tonight… be with someone else. Maybe Rory?"

He didn't answer her back. instead, he went to the bar and proceeded to order several shots of whiskey.

"There you are," Rory said, just after the bride and groom left. "Do you want a ride home?" Rory asked.

"Who's where?" Jess slurred from under the large tree he was sitting under.

"You've been drinking?" she asked.

"Yep," he popped his P.

"You're hammered too."

"Who's hammered?"

"You are."

"No, I'm Jess."

"Oh dear god," Rory asked, sitting down next to him.

"Jess what's going on?" she asked.

"Nothing."

"Really," Rory looked at him with a questioning look.

"She practically gave me permission to cheat on her," Jess slurred.

"What? Who?" Rory questioned.

"Amber."

"You're girlfriend?"

"Yep."

"I thought you were happy with her?"

"I am."

"Then what's the problem?"

"I don't think love is enough," he answered, looking away from her.

Rory stared at him, wanting to say more, "Let's get you home," she said helping him off the ground.
