Rory Gilmore stood in the bride room and stared at herself in the
mirror. She couldn't believe that she was getting married.and to Jess! All
her life she wanted to get married, but she always imagined her mother
there, her best friend to comfort her when the reality of marriage set in.
Quietly she fixed the front of her dress and turned around to face the maid
of honor, Lane Kim.
" Rory, you look beautiful!" Lane exclaimed wiping a tear from her eye.
" Oh don't cry! You're going to make me start crying and I don't want to ruin the makeup!" Rory stated with a quiver in her voice as she hugged Lane.
" I'm sorry, it's just..you..are getting married!" Lane said with a shocked look on her face. Just then the mistress of ceremonies knocked on the door and stated, " Okay girls time to come on out!"
" Okay, here we go..you ready?" Lane asked.
" Yes, I am." Rory said smiling.
When Rory walked down the aisle with Christopher by her side, the look on Jess' face was surely a Kodak moment. He started to tear up, but quickly choked back the tears.
Finally, the pastor pronounced them husband and wife. After the pictures the reception immediately followed at the diner. Rory never imagined that her reception would be at a diner, but something about it just seemed right. As the evening started coming to an end, Sookie came up to Rory.
" Congratulations again sweetie!" Sookie stated tearing up.
" Oh Sookie! Thank you!" Rory said happily.
" Your mom would've been proud..you know that right?" Sookie asked still fighting back tears.
" Yes..I know she would've been." Rory said fighting tears too.
" Well, Jackson is exhausted, so we're going to head out. Have fun on your honeymoon." Sookie said walking towards the door.
" Thanks Sook, and yes we will!" Rory said hugging Jess.
"You know, all this crying isn't good for a newly wed wife." Jess said wiping a tear from his love's eye.
" I know, I'm sorry. Are you packed for the trip?" Rory asked squeezing his hand.
" Yes I am. We leave in a few minutes. Most of the guests have left anyways, the ones still here are just Taylor and Miss Patty." Jess said nodding his head towards the pair who were seated at the counter.
"Oh, okay. Lane left too?" Rory asked.
" Oh no, she's in the bathroom and Dave is standing over by the door." Jess stated. Just then Land emerged from the restroom.
" Rory! We got to go, our plane to New York is in an hour. Have fun in Tahiti!" Lane said hugging the happy couple.
" We will, and Lane.thank you for being here for me." Rory stated still hugging Lane.
" Your welcome, and remember, when you two get back to the Big Apple, tell us both all about your trip!" Lane said letting Rory go and joining Dave at the door.
" Congrats you two!" Dave said waving before he and Lane left the diner.
" Is Luke ready to drive us to the airport?" Rory asked.
" Yeah. Let's go." Jess said taking his wife by the hand and walking out the door as Luke took the baggage to the trunk of the car.
(At the airport)
" Okay you two, bye." Luke said hugging his Jess and Rory.
" Thanks Luke, for all you did for us." Rory said tearing up as she kissed Luke on the cheek.
" Oh don't cry. I only did what I did because I love you guys. I mean that too, now go on, before your plane leaves." Luke said, trying to hide the tears and the quiver in his gruff tone.
" Bye Uncle Luke. We'll call you when we get back." With that, the couple disappeared down the terminal, about to embark on their beautiful life together.
" Rory, you look beautiful!" Lane exclaimed wiping a tear from her eye.
" Oh don't cry! You're going to make me start crying and I don't want to ruin the makeup!" Rory stated with a quiver in her voice as she hugged Lane.
