A/N: So I'm working on a sequel to this story. Problem is I don't have a good title. So suggestions for a title would be awesome. Read and Reveiw!
It was finally June third. Lorelai woke up and when she found Luke not by her side she freaked out. But then she remembered. It was her wedding day! She was finally going to be Mrs. Luke Danes. Lorelai crawled out of bed yawning. It was seven in the morning and she needed some coffee. She headed downstairs and found Sookie and Rory in the kitchen. Sookie was making egg white omelets and bacon.
"Hey, sugar," said Sookie. "There's coffee in the pot. You've got good timing."
"Hi, Sook," said Lorelai. "Morning sweet pea."
"Hi, Mom," said Rory tiredly. She wasn't a morning person either.
"Okay breakfast is ready!" declared Sookie setting everything on the table. "We need to eat quickly because we need to be at the church at eight."
"Why so early?" whined Lorelai.
"Because that's what time your mother told us to get there. She said the hairdresser is coming at nine. We all need to be dressed by then and ready to get our hair done and then pictures are at ten over at the inn."
After a hurried breakfast the girls headed over to the church to the bridal room. Emily was already there. "You're late," she said to Lorelai.
Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Mom, it's only one minute after eight. Rory and I needed showers and we had to eat breakfast. You don't want me passing out when I'm walking down the aisle now do you?"
Emily sighed. Her daughter was a piece of work. "No I guess not." She looked at her watch. "You three better get your dresses on fast. My hairdresser is going to be here soon and you need to be ready to leave for the inn by the time she's done." Emily was already dressed and had had her hair done the day before when the girls had gone to get their nails done for the wedding.
After getting dressed the hairdresser showed up. Lorelai got her hair curled and pinned back halfway. She hadn't wanted a big fancy updo like her mother had suggested. Rory and Sookie both got their hair straightened and pulled back as well. Finally the limo came to take them to the inn where they spent a few hours taking pictures. They had to get pictures of Lorelai with Rory and Sookie, Lorelai with Emily, and Sookie with Rory, Rory with Emily and then Lorelai with Emily and Rory. Then the photographer went to get Richard and had them repeat the process with Lorelai and Richard, then with Lorelai, Richard, and Emily, and then the three of them with Rory. After that they were done. As the Lorelai, Sookie, and Emily headed inside, the photographer, Ashley, had someone get Luke so he could get his picture taken with Rory.
At ten till two, everyone was at the church ready for the moment. Richard came in and told Emily she needed to get to their seat. He stopped the moment he saw Lorelai in her dress. "Lorelai, you look beautiful," he said. He never thought he'd see this day happen after what had happened but now he was going to.
Lorelai beamed. She smoothed the wrinkles out of her dress when she stood. "Thanks, Dad. I guess it's time to get ready now, huh?"
"Yes, it is."
Lorelai linked her arm through her father's and then they headed to the doors that would open to the sanctuary. Carrie Ann and her little brother Ryan got in line first followed by Rory, then Sookie and then Lorelai and Richard. When the music started everyone started down the aisle. Finally the music for Lorelai and Richard started and they made their way down the aisle. She looked at Luke and the sight of him in his tux made her breathless. She loved how handsome he looked all dressed up, but she loved the man who wore the flannel and jeans and backwards cap more.
The ceremony lasted about fifteen minutes. Lorelai couldn't believe how quickly it went. She heard the reverend ask, "Who gives this woman to be married?" and her father's answer of "Her mother and I do." She heard the preacher ask for the rings and for them to say their vows and then they were announced husband and wife. When they shared a kiss Lorelai felt like it was all a dream. They walked up the aisle towards the doors of the church. Outside, everyone lined up on the walkway when they came out after taking some pictures of the wedding party.
As they stopped outside to take pictures, Luke leaned in and whispered, "We're finally married."
Lorelai smiled. "I know. I keep thinking it's all a dream and that I'm going to wake up and realize we're not married."
"I know, I feel the same way," replied Luke. He gave her a kiss which made everyone applaud. He lead her to the waiting limo that would take them to the inn for their reception.
At the inn as soon as Lorelai, Luke, Rory, Sookie, Jess, and Will, Kelly, Richard, Emily, Liz and Jess showed up, Ashley the photographer got them set up to take the necessary pictures while the guests arrived. After the pictures were taken the wedding party headed to the tent set up for the reception. Everyone was getting a plate and filling it with chees, crackers, and grapes and apples.
Lorelai and Luke made the rounds, thanking everyone for coming. After that they went over to the buffet table to snack on the food before dinner was served. After about thirty minutes, the head chef came out and announced that dinner would be served and asked everyone to get to their seats. Lorelai and Luked headed to the table in the center of the tent. The table was reserved for the wedding party.
As soon as everyone was seated, the waiters served the salad. Lorelai leaned over to Luke. "Wanna tell me where we're going on our honeymoon?" she whispered. Luke had taken care of the wedding details and all he told her was to pack shorts and tank tops and flip flops, plenty of sunscreen and her bathing suits. Lorelai suspected that he was taking her to the beach but dismissed that idea since it didn't sound very honeymoonish.
"No way," Luke whispered back. "Not a chance."
The reception was a hit. Everyone seemed to be having fun and Lorelai and Luke's family and friends seemed to be hitting it off. Dinner was a success also. After everyone ate everyone started milling around talking. Several people told Luke and Lorelai that the dinner was excellent. Lorelai's old high school friend and college roommate came over.
"Lorelai!" said Daphne Delaney. She hugged Lorelai. "I'm so glad that you and Luke are together again. You always regretted not being able to find him."
Lorelai hugged her friend. "Thanks Daph. And it is good to be married to Luke after all these years."
"I'm sure it is. I could always tell how much you loved him when you talked about him," said Daphne.
Just then the DJ announced that it was time for Luke and Lorelai's first dance as husband and wife. When the song began Luke pulled her close. Lorelai breathed in the scent of his cologne. "Okay, mister, when did you learn to dance?" she asked. "In high school you always told me that you couldn't dance."
Luke grinned. "I'm a compulsive liar," he said. "I guess I've just always known how, I just didn't like to."
"Do you not like it right now?" she asked worried. "I mean it is our wedding day and it's customary for the bride and groom to dance together."
Luke shook his head. "I'm enjoying this. I'm enjoying every second of this day. After all, you only get married once."
"Or twice in our case," said Lorelai smiling.
When the song was over, Richard came over. "Do I get a turn?" he asked his daughter.
Lorelai grinned. "Of course you do, Daddy," she said going over to him.
For a minute they danced in silence. "Lorelai, you are a beautiful bride," said Richard.
"You already told me that Dad. But thank you." Lorelai kissed her dad on the cheek.
"I know you weren't too happy about the party the other week," began Richard.
"No I wasn't."
"Do you and Luke plan on moving to another house if you have more kids?"
"Um, I don't know. We've talked about adding on to the house we're in right now. There's enough room upstairs for at least two more bedrooms and we have an attic too," said Lorelai. She and Luke had already started work on adding those two bedrooms upstairs and converting the attic to a bedroom/playroom.
Richard nodded. "Okay, but if you two ever decide to move, your mother and I bought you a house. We'll hold onto it for you and Luke. And if you two don't want it we can keep it for Rory and whoever she marries."
Lorelai considered the offer. "How many bedrooms does it have?" she asked.
"It has six bedrooms and a library which I'm sure Rory would love. There's also a home office which you and Luke can use, a living room, kitchen, and a dining room. It's here in Stars Hollow actually. I knew you'd like that."
Lorelai thought about it. She and Luke definitely wanted more kids in a few years. And having a bigger house with more room would be good. "Let me talk to Luke," she told her father. "If he's up to it, we'll come talk to you and Mom."
Richard smiled down at his daughter. He couldn't believe his little girl was married. "Well, that's all I ask."
The song ended and the DJ invited everyone out on the dance floor. The reception lasted until past nine. Luke and Lorelai cut the cake when everyone got tired of dancing. And of course everyone got excited when Lorelai threw her bouquet for all the women and when Luke took off her garter. Since they didn't have to leave until the morning to go on their honeymoon, Lorelai had booked them a room. Rory was going home with Will and Kelly for the week while they would be gone.
