Wedding Party Chapter 13
Rory was sitting on a stool, on her cell phone. Luke poured her coffee and grumbled, "Off the phone, Rory." "Aw, but Luke, I'm planning the wedding. How can I plan a wedding if I can't use the phone?" "Don't care. No cell phones inside." "Oh, don't do this. Lukey, I'm your neice-in-law." Luke shook his head. Rory resorted to the pouty lips. "Pwease!" "Oh, fine. Continue." "I love you, Luke. You're a stud." "Yeah, yeah, yeah.." Rory returned to her phone call. "Hello, is Paris there?" "Un momento." Paris picked up the phone. "Hello?" "Paris. It's Rory. Jess and I are having a wedding here in Stars Hollow on August 2. I was wondering if you'd be a bridesmaid." "Me?" "No, the other Paris there." "No one has ever asked me to be involved in a wedding before." "There's a first time for everything." "Yeah! I would love, too." "Okay. I've picked out the dresses. I guess we should meet at the store. It's Alyssa's Bridal." "Okay. I'll see you in a few minutes. Bye, Rory." "See ya later, Paris." Next on Rory's list was Louise. Rory dialed her number. "Hi, Louise. It's Rory. Jess and I are having a ceremony in August. Will you be the gift taker?" "Yeah!" "Okay. I need you to meet me at Alyssa's Bridal to be fitted for your dress." "I get a new dress?" "Yes." "Awesome! I'll see you later." "Bye, Louise." Last was Madeline. "Madeline, this is Rory." "Oh, hey Rory." "Jess and I are having a wedding ceremony and I wanted to know if you would be the guestbook person." "So what would I do?" "Make sure people sign the guestbook." "Sure!" "Great. Can you meet me at Alyssa's Bridal to be fitted for your dress?" "Yeah. Later." "Bye." Rory hung up the phone, feeling accomplished. "Thanks for the coffee, Luke." "It's on the house." "It always is." Rory waved and left for their car.
Madeline was going to wear a darker pink dress, the color of a candy heart. Paris and Louise were going to wear blue, Paris in blue geen, and Louise in royal blue. The dresses were all very beautiful. They put them on order and left. Rory went back home to Jess.
"Hey, you." Rory said, kissing Jess's cheek. He was sitting at the computer. "Hi. I've been looking for quotes to put on the invitations. Best one, Mini-me, you complete me." Rory snickered. "Jess!" "Hey, your mom calls you mini-me." Rory shook her head. "Here's another one, 'Ever since I saw your face, nothing in my life has been the same, I walk around just saying your name, without you my world would end." "Good quote, bad, bad band." "I haven't really found anything wonderful yet." Rory pulled the laptop away and sprawled across his lap. "Let's continue looking. We could make our own quote." "Huh." "C'mon, say something more than huh." "How about this. From the day I met you, I knew you'd change me. You made me feel like I've never felt before. We fought against the odds, together. No matter what people said, you stood by me. And so here we are, together, forever. Don't forget, we're family now." "That's amazing, Jess." "You think so?" "It fits our entire lives. We can even put your signature under the quote." "Let's just go for anonymous." Rory shrugged. "Okay." "You really did change me." "You know, I don't think I changed you, Jess, I think I just brought out the real you." "Huh." "No one else sees this side of you though." "It's reserved specifically for you." "You changed me, Jess. Without you, I'd still be boring old Rory with boring old Dean, doing everything that people expect of me." "You were never boring." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah." "You are such a sweet talker." "Oh, yes. That's me." Rory smiled as she kissed him. "I like this whole wedding thing, you know it?" Jess nodded. "It is enjoyable, isn't it?" "Especialy since we're already married." "Makes it alot easier." "Definitely. Pluse, if the wedding doesn't work the way we want it too, it doesn't matter. We're already married." "Exactly." "So, what should our invitation decorations be?" They searched for a design that worked perfectly for them. They settled on a swag around the paper with carnations in each corner. On it would be
Christopher Hayden and Lorelai Gilmore the Second Cordially invites you to join them in giving their daughter, Lorelai Leigh Gilmore the Third in holy matrimony to Jess Daniel Mariano, Son of Elizabeth and Robert Mariano on August 2, 2002 At Six O'clock in the evening on the Stars Hollow Bridge..
Reception following at the Independence Inn.
And on the cover was Jess's quote. "These are perfect." "They say everything. No problems, except for my Dad. He's not even around." "What if we put son of Elizabeth Danes, Nephew of Luke Danes." "That's perfect." "I love you, Dodger." "I love you, Angel." They kissed sweetly.
The invitations were printed and set out to most of Stars Hollow and some of Chilton and a few people in New York. Jess dialed up his mother. "Hi, Mom." "Jess?" "Did you get my wedding invitation?" "Yeah. I thought you had already made your mistake." "Rory's Mom, Grandma, and friends wanted to have been at the ceremony. Rory thought we could have a big ceremony with everyone there even though we were already married. Will you be able to come?" "Don't think so. I have a life, you know." "Yeah." "I'm not sure, but don't count on me being there." "I never count on you for anything." Jess hung up, pain washing over him. Rory watched him sympathetically. She smiled at him and his heart felt a little bit better. It amazed him. She would look at him and for a brief moment everything was right in his world. He took her in his arms. She kissed his cheek lightly, and stroked his hair. He nuzzled into her chocolate brown hair. They sat together in silence. The phone ringing broke their silent reverie. "Hello?" "Jess, my man. I heard you were gettin' hitched." "You can imagine our surprise to hear Jess Mariano was tyin' the knot. I thought we swore to never get married." "Josh, Alec, hi." Rory saw his eyes light up slightly. Rory tilted her head. "Yo, Dude, who is this Lorelai Leigh Gilmore the Third? What kind of name is Lorelai?" Josh asked, snidely. "Actually, it's Rory. Lorelai is just her given name. I'm actually already married to her. We eloped in April." Alec asked, "You eloped?" Jess continued, "Yeah. Hey, you want to hear her? She's right here with me." "Okay." Jess handed the phone to Rory. "Angel, it's my two best friends, Alec and Josh. Say hi to them?" "No problem. Hello." "Lorelai..." "It's Rory." "I'm Alec." "I'm Josh. I can't believe you married Jess 'jump 'em' Mariano." "Jump 'em?" "Yeah, Jess always got the girl. We don't know why." Josh added. Rory reiterated, "He got the girls." Jess shifted uncomfortably. Rory raised her eyebrow, curiously. Alec realized what they were saying. "Oh, we shouldn't be telling you this." "No, no, it's okay. I'd love to hear more." "I think we should shut up." Rory smiled. "I can't wait to meet you guys. It'll be nice to meet some of Jess's friends for once. You are coming, aren't you?" "Yeah. We'll be there." "Okay. I'll give the phone back to Jess." Rory handed the phone back to Jess. Josh commented, "Wow. She's really...happy." "Yeah. Rory's spirited." He winked at her. "It's practically all the coffee she consumes. So, anyways, I want you guys to be groomsmen." "Sure." "You'll have to wear tuxes." "Aw, c'mon, Jess." Alec complained. "I'm serious. You won't ruin this wedding. It makes Rory happy, so it makes me happy. You have to be good little boys." "Okay, Dad. We'll come like five days early." "Great. Bye." "See ya." Jess hung up the phone, feeling better for talking to his friends.
