Chapter 26: The Wedding
Lorelai was getting a little nervous when it was almost time. She was running around like a chicken with its head off at the Inn.
"Michele, where are the phone numbers for the limo services?" She asked him while looking through the papers on the front desk.
"I remember putting them in your shirt pocket when you were talking on the phone with the florist. Oh, no wait that was my pocket that I put them in." Michele said while getting the paper out. "Will you wait for half a second please? I need to speak to you about me not coming to the wedding." He said as he walked around the front desk of the Inn and gave the paper to Lorelai.
"What? Michele, I gave the invitation to you weeks in advance so that your clown act would be off on hiatus in your schedule. There are no excuses. When I tell you that I will see you there, you are going to be there. If it is a good reason that you can't make it then you will have to get Rory and Tristan a really big present."
Michele didn't say anything for a few minutes. She looked at him, to read his thoughts but it was difficult. Michele still said anything. He was getting his thoughts together so he took a deep breath and spoke, " Lorelai, I will be there. The reason is my date will not be coming. Also I have no idea what to get for them, at all."
"I am glad you came to me with your problem. I want to help you. I got a few presents for Rory and Tristan for just this reason. I will just you to help with something." Lorelai said to him while waving the paper with the limo numbers on it.
"I would love to but- 'Ring' - oh is that the phone. I better get that. Hello?"
"Fine Michele, talk to your imaginary friends. Tell me when you get back to reality." Lorelai said as she walked into the kitchen to talk to Sookie.
"Hi Lorelai." Sookie said with a smile.
"What's wrong? What did you do wrong?"
"Nothing. Coffee?"
"Yes please."
"So how are things going with the wedding?"
"Oh not bad since we have only about three weeks from tomorrow." Lorelai said taking a sip of her coffee. "But besides that I am going nuts."
"Don't worry. You are doing a great job. Rory will be perfect in her dress. Tristan and the groom's men are ready with the tuxedos. The flowers and the ceremony are done. You have nothing to worry about." Sookie said while putting the finishing touches on a plate of roasted chicken.
"That's the problem I do. I still have to call the limo service." Lorelai said, looking like she was about to cry. " I have to find my dress. I haven't even bothered to do that. I mean three weeks can be here like that." Lorelai said while snapping her finger.
"Calm. Down. Breathe in- and out." Sookie said while trying to get Lorelai to chill out.
After Lorelai tried to do what Sookie told her. She said, " Thanks Sookie. I am going really crazy now days. Last time Luke and I have had sex was about week ago. Luke and I haven't had sex for about a week because I was up to late helping out with the wedding. Rory and Tristan are working around the clock for their things. I am trying to balance things for them so that everything is perfect. I really want everything to be perfect." She then took another breath. "So now I haven't slept a whole 8 hours in about 4days. Every morning around seven, I would need to throw up. I am not feeling well whenever I eat anything. I don't know what's wrong with me. "
"Lorelai do you need me to do anything for you?"
"Do you mind calling a limo company for me?" Lorelai said while giving her the paper.
"It would be my pleasure." Sookie said as she took the paper out of Lorelai's hand and read it. " But promise me you will go home and take a nap."
"Thanks a lot Sookie, I will." Lorelai stood up from being hunched over on the counter and walked out of the kitchen.
"Lorelai, you don't look so well." Michele said to Lorelai as she walked though the lobby of the Inn.
"Michele, I don't want to hear it. I will be back later." Lorelai said without stopping to acknowledge his presents in the room.
"Fine, I will not tell you your husband is here to see you." Michele said while looking at some papers.
"Luke's here?" Lorelai said turning her head to look at Michele.
"Hey Lorelai." Luke said to her.
"Luke." Was all she said as she ran up to him and gave him a hug.
" How are you?" Luke said while he loosened his grip. "You don't look so good. Are you feeling ok?"
"I don't feel so good. My stomach and I need sleep." Lorelai said in a baby voice.
"Oh poor baby. Do you want to go home?" Luke asked her.
"Yeah, that's a good idea."
"Do you want to get checked out by a doctor?"
"I'm not that sick." Lorelai told him.
"Well let's go just to be sure." Luke said to her.
Luke just couldn't take no for an answer. So, within seconds Lorelai and Luke were in his car driving Lorelai to the doctor's office.
~~~~~ Doctor's Office ~~~~~
Luke and Lorelai were waiting in the waiting room for about 5 minutes. Lorelai was getting restless. She never liked doctors.
"Lorelai Danes?" The nurse said from the doorway.
Once she heard her name she stood up and followed the nurse. She went by herself because it wasn't a big deal. Luke had just made it out to be.
She walked into the room and talked to the nurse. The nurse asked a few question; why she was here? What's wrong? She answered them and then the nurse left and came back.
The nurse brought some equipment with her. She had checked Lorelai's blood pressure. Everything seemed fine. The nurse then left to get the doctor. When the doctor came, she checked out Lorelai as well. Then said, "Let's take a blood test. Also Lorelai, it's been a while, but we need you to pee in a cup."
"I know the drill." Was all she said. So once the doctor took the blood sample, Lorelai went to the bathroom. She had returned to the room with the cup in her hand. She had given it to the nurse and walked out to the waiting room. "Let's go." She said to Luke.
"Ok." Luke said to her.
~~~~~ Rory's Apartment ~~~~~
About a five days before the wedding Rory's friends had a bachelorette party for her. The girls took a vote to see who should take Rory out so they could get ready. But voting didn't work. So they decided to pull names out of a hat. When Robin and Johnny heard that they were to take out Rory, they where disappointed. They wanted to help out with the decorating. But Robin thought it was a good idea, she could get to know her sister in law.
So Robin had told Rory that they would come to pick her up from work. By the time 5 o'clock rolled around Robin and Johnny were sitting in front of the building. They weren't there long, but it did take Rory a long time to come outside.
"Hi, sorry I'm late. I was with your brother. He said hi." Rory said to her from the other side of the car.
"Hey, it's ok." Robin said.
"Really, I enjoyed watching the revolving door." Johnny said from the back seat. " I moved to the back just so you would be comfortable. Plus I have gotten used to the back seat."
"Oh, you didn't have to." Rory said as she got into the car. " So, what are we doing?"
"Well, I wanted to take you two out to dinner." Robin said as she started the car.
"Oh, so where were are we going?" Rory said excitedly.
"Well, I thought we would go to this new place in town that Tristan told me about." Robin said back as she drove the car into the street.
"Yeah, It's that Italian place right?" Johnny said. "I heard it was supposed to be really good."
After a few minutes of driving Robin said " But before we go to the restaurant I have to pick up my wallet that I left at your apartment this morning."
They finally pulled up to her apartment and Rory insisted she would stay in the car. Robin nervously said, "Um, ok." And ran into the apartment. After a few minutes Robin came out and said, " I can't find my wallet, can you guys come up and help me find it?"
"Sure why the hell not." Rory and Johnny said.
Robin and Johnny lead Rory up to her apartment. They opened the door and were immersed with the huge sound of Surprise.
Rory was shocked and confused of what was going on. She was speechless. She just stood in the doorway with her mouth gaping open.
"Rory? How do you like it?" Lorelai said while taking Rory and walking her to the couch.
"Thank you so much guys! I was totally surprised." Rory said.
"Good. Cause if you weren't then you really did look like you had an accident, if you know what I mean." Cat said to her.
"Haha, very funny. So what did you guys have planned?"
"Well, we have food, ready now. Then after we have a special gift for you." Annie said to her.
"You will never believe it!" Lane said.
"It was all my idea." Katie said with a smile on her face.
"Oh, great where are we going? To the movies?" Rory said to her.
"Oh come on. Think bigger." Katerina said to Rory not trying to give anything away.
"Ok people, that is enough talk about the surprise." Lorelai said to them.
"Yeah, the food is ready. If we don't eat now, we won't get there until late." Gretchen said while pushing then out of one room and into the kitchen.
"What do you have planned?" Rory said.
"Just wait." Robin said.
" Can't I have just one tiny little hint?"
"Nope, it just wouldn't be a surprise." Johnny said while helping herself to dinner.
"Great." Rory said as she was folding her arms across her chest.
"Oh now Rory, don't get in a huff, you will know in due time." Lorelai said.
"Everyone eat or else." Rory screamed to them so the line would move quicker so that she could eat and leave.
~~~~~ Tristan's Apartment ~~~~~
"Are you guy's ready to go?" Tristan said to his 7 friends that were still sitting on the couch.
"What? I thought we weren't going out." Henry said to Tristan who was putting on his jacket.
"But we are. Later, we are going to the bar." Jack said to him.
"Tristan, this is your bachelor party, we planned." Brendan said about the party, which was a complete bomb.
"Yeah, well I don't want to sit home and watch pay-per-view." Tristan said. "Let's go."
"Guys, I think he is serious." Said Sean, who didn't want Tristan to go alone.
"I guess I can go for a beer now." Dean said. Now by that time Dean and Tristan had just pushed all there differences aside and found out that they had a lot in common. They got along seeing as though both of them were happy. Tristan had Rory and Dean had a new job that he loved and Annie. Life was good for the both of them.
"Ok, then let's go. Bruce, Henry, Sean, Jason, Andrew, Brendan, let's move."
"We're coming." They said as they followed him out the door.
~~~~~ Rory's apartment ~~~~~
Back at Rory's apartment.
"Oh, man, I am stuffed." Cat said.
"That's nice. Is everyone done?" Rory said to them.
"I am. Almost." Katie said.
"Come on people, I want to get out of here."
"Chill Rory, Let us rest a bit." Annie said to her.
"Fine, but just a little bit." Rory said right back.
After about 5 minutes of no talking Lorelai said to the group, "Is everyone ready?"
"We better be." Rory said right back.
"Yup, we are Rory." Katerina said to her. " Let's get a move on it. Before Rory has a fit."
"Don't tempt me."
"Lane you and I will drive to the surprise place. I will take Rory and a few others." Lorelai said while taking out a scarf from her pocket.
~~~~~ At the Bar ~~~~~
Rory walked in with the blindfold on and the girls leading her into the room. After a few steps into the room Rory and the girls stopped.
"What's wrong?" Rory said to her friends.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Lane said as she waved to Henry from across the room.
"What are we going to do?" Annie mouthed to Cat.
"Nothing." Was her response. " I have an idea." She started to walk over to the table and whispered something into Tristan's ear, with the girl behind her getting a table.
Annie and the others stared over to the table to see the guys that they meet several months ago. Then they started to talk as they all saw the 8 guys following Cat and sitting by a table near by. Once a song that was up beat started to play, Cat nodded at Tristan.
Tristan started to stand up to the still blindfolded Rory. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and then sat on her lap.
"Guys' what is going on?" Rory said.
"It's a present from me to you." Cat said to her.
"Have fun with it." Lane said to her.
" I don't know. I don't want to do anything I would regret."
"You definitely won't. Trust us." Gretchen said to her.
Tristan who was sitting on her lap took her hand and let it feel his heart and muscles. Then he led her hand to his hips and took both of her hands and placed them there. He then started to move his butt up and down while he was sitting on her lap.
Rory couldn't believe that she was letting this person do this to her. "Stop!" She said to the person. But he didn't listen, then she tried to stand up, she was getting nervous about doing that. Then all of a sudden she felt his hands on her face and knew. * Tristan. * He didn't say anything he just kissed her. She loved it. He loved it. They were lip locked for a full five minutes until Rory took off the blindfold. She knew it. "I love you Tristan."
"I love you Rory."
~~~~~Friday night ~~~~~~
Rory, Tristan and their friends plus their parents and Rory's grandparents were all at the Inn to rehearse. The minister took only twenty minutes to tell them what they would be doing. They would start from the back steps of the Inn and walk to the garden area. She didn't bother to talk to her father about the wedding. He was out of her life since she graduated from College. Rory didn't want to hurt her grandfather's feelings or Luke's. So, she asked the both of them to give her away. Luke was fine with that. Rory's grandfather couldn't have been happier.
"So, let's run though it one more time." The minister said.
Robin was the one to start off the wedding with Sean. Then Johnny followed with Andrew, then Gretchen and Jack. Following them were Katie and Brendan, then Katerina and Jason. After Katerina, was Annie with Dean and Cat with Bruce. Then it came down to Lane with Henry. To end the long procession was Rory with Richard and Luke on each arm. It took them about 25 minutes to do that all to music. They were already there for an hour and none of them wanted to go anywhere. They all wanted to go to sleep. So Rory decided to tell them that they didn't need to go to the dinner, and that they would see them all at three thirty.
"But I had an announcement." Lorelai screamed.
"Lorelai, honey, not know." Luke told her.
"But I would like them to know Luke. You don't understand. I'm telling them." Lorelai said to him.
"Ok." Luke said.
"Thank you." Lorelai said.
"What is it mom?" Rory said.
"Is everything all right?" Emily asked her with a look of concern.
"I wanted to tell everyone that Luke and I, we're, having a baby."
"What?" Emily said to her.
"I'm pregnant." Lorelai said to her.
" Mom, congratulations." Rory said to her.
"How long have you known?" Lane said to her.
"About 3 months."
"What? Three months and you never once told your daughter? I am so happy for you." Rory said.
"What do you think about it mom?" Lorelai asked her mother.
"Well, what do you want me to say?" Emily said getting a little choked up. " I am so happy. My daughter is pregnant and married. I am so happy."
"Thanks mom."
"Come here you two and give me hug." Emily said to Luke and Lorelai who were already hugging each other.
"Well, I think we had a lot of excitement for tonight. I think the bride and groom should go home and get their rest." Lane said to everyone as Lorelai, Luke and Emily were still hugging.
"That's a good idea." Rory said as she herself was hugging Tristan. "I can't wait until tomorrow, when I am Mrs. Rory DuGray."
"I can't wait either." Tristan said right back to her.
~~~~~ Saturday Afternoon ~~~~~
Rory and the girls were at the Inn at three thirty. They couldn't wait at all. Rory on the other hand was a bit nervous. She had butterflies the size of footballs in her stomach. Lorelai was helping Rory with her make-up when she noticed Rory looked a little nervous.
"Honey, you look gorgeous."
"Thanks mom." Rory said trying to look happy.
"Don't be nervous. Everything will go fine. I promise you." Lorelai was trying not to cry.
"Can you believe it? Your daughter is getting married?" Rory asked her.
"I can't, I really can't babe. I remember when you first started walking. You were so cute." Lorelai was now tearing. "But in just an hour you will be walking down that aisle to be with the one you love."
Rory was just listening to her mother and started to calm down. If she didn't do it soon she would have gone crazy. "Thanks for that little pep- talk. I think it really helped."
"I am glad I was here."
"Hey Rory, you have about 10 minutes." Robin said to her who was already in her dress.
"Ok, Robin. Thanks."
"Well. Are you ready?" Lorelai asked her and then noticed that she had gotten into her dress. "Rory, um. is that what you are wearing?"
"Oh My God. Mom can you help?" Rory said while trying to step into her dress.
"Yeah."
Rory was waiting in the Inn with Luke and her Grandfather. The other girls had almost gotten out of there. Lane was up next. Rory took deep breaths then all of a sudden the wedding march started. Luke and Richard opened the double doors that Rory was to walk out of. She then took the step out of the Inn and grabbed a hold of her grandfather's arm and Luke's.
When Tristan saw Rory at the top of the steps, he thought that she was part of a fairy tale. She looked like Cinderella, to be exact, at the top of the steps, on her way down to the ball. She looked so beautiful. She had kept her hair half up and half down, but it had a nice soft curl to it with the veil on top her head.
Rory spotted Tristan right next to the minister. He looked very dignified in his tuxedo.
She tried to rush the walk down the steps with Luke and Richard because she couldn't stand to she Tristan all the way over there, and she was so far.
Once Rory stood next to Tristan, she heard the minister start to say things. She didn't really hear what he had to say until 'I do.'
Rory stood there in her dress waiting, until that part in the ceremony and then finally at 5 o'clock they were husband and wife.

"Fine Michele, talk to your imaginary friends. Tell me when you get back to reality." Lorelai said as she walked into the kitchen to talk to Sookie.
"Hi Lorelai." Sookie said with a smile.
"What's wrong? What did you do wrong?"
"Nothing. Coffee?"
"Yes please."
"So how are things going with the wedding?"
"Oh not bad since we have only about three weeks from tomorrow." Lorelai said taking a sip of her coffee. "But besides that I am going nuts."

About a five days before the wedding Rory's friends had a bachelorette party for her. The girls took a vote to see who should take Rory out so they could get ready. But voting didn't work.

"Are you guy's ready to go?" Tristan said to his 7 friends that were still sitting on the couch.

"But we are. Later, we are going to the bar." Jack said to him.
"Tristan, this is your bachelor party, we planned." Brendan said about the party, which was a complete bomb.
"Yeah, well I don't want to sit home and watch pay-per-view." Tristan said. "Let's go."
"Guys, I think he is serious." Said Sean, who didn't want Tristan to go alone.
"I guess I can go for a beer now." Dean said. Now by that time Dean and Tristan had just pushed all there differences aside and found out that they had a lot in common. They got along seeing as though both of them were happy. Tristan had Rory and Dean had a new job that he loved and Annie. Life was good for the both of them.
"Ok, then let's go. Bruce, Henry, Sean, Jason, Andrew, Brendan, let's move."
"We're coming." They said as they followed him out the door.
~~~~~ Rory's apartment ~~~~~
Back at Rory's apartment.
"Oh, man, I am stuffed." Cat said.
"That's nice. Is everyone done?" Rory said to them.
"I am. Almost." Katie said.
"Come on people, I want to get out of here."
"Chill Rory, Let us rest a bit." Annie said to her.
"Fine, but just a little bit." Rory said right back.
After about 5 minutes of no talking Lorelai said to the group, "Is everyone ready?"

"Don't tempt me."
"Lane you and I will drive to the surprise place. I will take Rory and a few others." Lorelai said while taking out a scarf from her pocket.
~~~~~ At the Bar ~~~~~
Rory walked in with the blindfold on and the girls leading her into the room. After a few steps into the room Rory and the girls stopped.
"What's wrong?" Rory said to her friends.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Lane said as she waved to Henry from across the room.
"What are we going to do?" Annie mouthed to Cat.
"Nothing." Was her response. " I have an idea." She started to walk over to the table and whispered something into Tristan's ear, with the girl behind her getting a table.
Annie and the others stared over to the table to see the guys that they meet several months ago. Then they started to talk as they all saw the 8 guys following Cat and sitting by a table near by. Once a song that was up beat started to play, Cat nodded at Tristan.
Tristan started to stand up to the still blindfolded Rory. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and then sat on her lap.
"Guys' what is going on?" Rory said.
"It's a present from me to you." Cat said to her.
"Have fun with it." Lane said to her.
" I don't know. I don't want to do anything I would regret."
"You definitely won't. Trust us." Gretchen said to her.
Tristan who was sitting on her lap took her hand and let it feel his heart and muscles. Then he led her hand to his hips and took both of her hands and placed them there. He then started to move his butt up and down while he was sitting on her lap.
Rory couldn't believe that she was letting this person do this to her. "Stop!" She said to the person. But he didn't listen, then she tried to stand up, she was getting nervous about doing that. Then all of a sudden she felt his hands on her face and knew. * Tristan. * He didn't say anything he just kissed her. She loved it. He loved it. They were lip locked for a full five minutes until Rory took off the blindfold. She knew it. "I love you Tristan."
"I love you Rory."
~~~~~Friday night ~~~~~~
Rory, Tristan and their friends plus their parents and Rory's grandparents were all at the Inn to rehearse. The minister took only twenty minutes to tell them what they would be doing. They would start from the back steps of the Inn and walk to the garden area. She didn't bother to talk to her father about the wedding. He was out of her life since she graduated from College. Rory didn't want to hurt her grandfather's feelings or Luke's. So, she asked the both of them to give her away. Luke was fine with that. Rory's grandfather couldn't have been happier.
"So, let's run though it one more time." The minister said.
Robin was the one to start off the wedding with Sean. Then Johnny followed with Andrew, then Gretchen and Jack. Following them were Katie and Brendan, then Katerina and Jason. After Katerina, was Annie with Dean and Cat with Bruce. Then it came down to Lane with Henry. To end the long procession was Rory with Richard and Luke on each arm. It took them about 25 minutes to do that all to music. They were already there for an hour and none of them wanted to go anywhere. They all wanted to go to sleep. So Rory decided to tell them that they didn't need to go to the dinner, and that they would see them all at three thirty.
"But I had an announcement." Lorelai screamed.
"Lorelai, honey, not know." Luke told her.
"But I would like them to know Luke. You don't understand. I'm telling them." Lorelai said to him.
"Ok." Luke said.
"Thank you." Lorelai said.
"What is it mom?" Rory said.
"Is everything all right?" Emily asked her with a look of concern.
"I wanted to tell everyone that Luke and I, we're, having a baby."
"What?" Emily said to her.
"I'm pregnant." Lorelai said to her.
" Mom, congratulations." Rory said to her.
"How long have you known?" Lane said to her.
"About 3 months."
"What? Three months and you never once told your daughter? I am so happy for you." Rory said.
"What do you think about it mom?" Lorelai asked her mother.
"Well, what do you want me to say?" Emily said getting a little choked up. " I am so happy. My daughter is pregnant and married. I am so happy."
"Thanks mom."
"Come here you two and give me hug." Emily said to Luke and Lorelai who were already hugging each other.
"Well, I think we had a lot of excitement for tonight. I think the bride and groom should go home and get their rest." Lane said to everyone as Lorelai, Luke and Emily were still hugging.
"That's a good idea." Rory said as she herself was hugging Tristan. "I can't wait until tomorrow, when I am Mrs. Rory DuGray."
"I can't wait either." Tristan said right back to her.
~~~~~ Saturday Afternoon ~~~~~
Rory and the girls were at the Inn at three thirty. They couldn't wait at all. Rory on the other hand was a bit nervous. She had butterflies the size of footballs in her stomach. Lorelai was helping Rory with her make-up when she noticed Rory looked a little nervous.
"Honey, you look gorgeous."
"Thanks mom." Rory said trying to look happy.
"Don't be nervous. Everything will go fine. I promise you." Lorelai was trying not to cry.
"Can you believe it? Your daughter is getting married?" Rory asked her.
"I can't, I really can't babe. I remember when you first started walking. You were so cute." Lorelai was now tearing. "But in just an hour you will be walking down that aisle to be with the one you love."
Rory was just listening to her mother and started to calm down. If she didn't do it soon she would have gone crazy. "Thanks for that little pep- talk. I think it really helped."
"I am glad I was here."
"Hey Rory, you have about 10 minutes." Robin said to her who was already in her dress.
"Ok, Robin. Thanks."
"Well. Are you ready?" Lorelai asked her and then noticed that she had gotten into her dress. "Rory, um. is that what you are wearing?"
"Oh My God. Mom can you help?" Rory said while trying to step into her dress.
"Yeah."
Rory was waiting in the Inn with Luke and her Grandfather. The other girls had almost gotten out of there. Lane was up next. Rory took deep breaths then all of a sudden the wedding march started. Luke and Richard opened the double doors that Rory was to walk out of. She then took the step out of the Inn and grabbed a hold of her grandfather's arm and Luke's.
When Tristan saw Rory at the top of the steps, he thought that she was part of a fairy tale. She looked like Cinderella, to be exact, at the top of the steps, on her way down to the ball. She looked so beautiful. She had kept her hair half up and half down, but it had a nice soft curl to it with the veil on top her head.
Rory spotted Tristan right next to the minister. He looked very dignified in his tuxedo.
She tried to rush the walk down the steps with Luke and Richard because she couldn't stand to she Tristan all the way over there, and she was so far.
Once Rory stood next to Tristan, she heard the minister start to say things. She didn't really hear what he had to say until 'I do.'
Rory stood there in her dress waiting, until that part in the ceremony and then finally at 5 o'clock they were husband and wife.
