Chapter 10
A month had passed and Lorelai and Sookie had worked their butts off preparing everything for the wedding. They made sure they decided the right kind of food, Lorelai found another dress, they agreed on the guest list; which included, surprisingly Lorelai's mother and father. No matter how much she despises her mother, Lorelai relented to sending an invitation to her parents. Anyways, Lorelai and Sookie finished preparing everything with no time to spare.
Lorelai's morning sickness had become less terrible but it still was pretty bad.
To top it all off it was her wedding day.
Lorelai was getting ready to walk down the aisle to her soon-to-be-husband.
Surprisingly her parents came and here dad was going to walk her down the aisle.
So back to Lorelai.
Lorelai heard the music starting and watched the flower girl, Martha, walk down the aisle, tossing around flowers. Then followed by Davey, the ring barer. After them came Rory, the Maid of Honor, on the arm of Jess, the Best Man; much to Logan's disgust.
Then the rest were April, Lane, Sookie, and Liz as bridesmaids; T. J., Jackson, Zack, and Luke's old friend Daniel as groomsmen.
The rest of the wedding party included, Emily, Richard, Logan, Mia, Paul Anka (the dog), Paris, Louise, Madeline, and even Michel. Christopher was definitely not invited.
So as Lorelai walked down the aisle with her dad on her arm, she was smiling.
When they reached the altar, Richard kissed Lorelai on the cheek and let her go to the man of her dreams.
Lorelai and Luke took hands as Lorelai shed a happy tear.
They then stepped under the Chuppah that Luke built Lorelai before.
Luke smiled softly and wiped her tear away with his thumb.
"Don't cry" Luke whispered in that whisper that could always make her melt.
Lorelai smiled back and turned to face Reverend Skinner, so that she could be bound to Luke for the rest of her life.
Luke too, turned to face the reverend so he and Lorelai could do what they've been waiting to do for, it seemed like forever.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to finally bind these to wonderful people in Holy matrimony. If anyone, which there better not be, feels that these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace. (silence) Good. Now Luke and Lorelai decided to recite their own vows" Reverend Skinner said.
Luke turned to face Lorelai and recited his vows.
"Lorelai, I remember that day almost 12 years ago when you came into my dinere talking a mile a minute, egging me for coffee. Ever since that day, I have been, dare I say it, head over heels in love with you. You mean everything to me. I know how it is to live without you and I don't ever want that to happen again. You know how I'm not one to show my emotions but this is the best exception. When you told me that you were pregnant, you were right. I was shocked. Not shocked as in mad but shocked as in happy. Right now, us here, I'm in, I'm all in"
Lorelai just stood there mesmerized by his loving words, tears falling down her face.
She wiped them off quickly and recited her vows.
"Wow Luke, that was so wonderful. You definitely aren't one to show your emotions but that was just amazing. When we were just friends, you were just the grumpy diner man who supplied me coffee, and I was just the crazy lady who talked a mile a minute and a coffee addict. But then when we were dating and you revealed to me about your dark day, I knew then that you were the one for me. You had decided that I was the only one to tell about your dark day to besides Liz. That made me feel so special Luke. I love you Luke and I always will"
Luke looked at her and actually cried happy tears too, not even bothering to wipe them away.
There wasn't a dry eye anywhere.
Reverend Skinner had even shed some tears.
"Those vows were the most beautiful I have ever heard. Now, do you Lucas Ethan Danes take this woman, Lorelai Victoria Gilmore to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, through good times and hard times, through sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do"
"And do you Lorelai Victoria Gilmore take this man, Lucas Ethan Danes to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, through good times and hard times, through sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do"
"The rings please"
Davey handed him the rings and in turn Reverend Skinner handed Luke and Lorelai the rings.
"Luke repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed"
"With this ring I thee wed" Luke slipped the ring on Lorelai's ring finger.
"And Lorelai repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed"
"With this ring I thee wed" Lorelai put the ring on Luke's finger and took his hands in hers.
"Now Luke you must step on the glass"
Luke did as he was told.
"With the powers invested in me from the state of Connecticut, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"
Luke didn't wait a millisecond more after that was said.
He swept Lorelai into a passionate kiss they would remember forever.
