Chapter 27: The Honeymoon

Rory and Tristan's wedding was so beautiful that Lorelai couldn't stop crying. The lights were shining onto the lake in the garden and the candles on the tables had a sort of glow to them. It was very magical. She was so proud of Rory when it was all over. * She looks so beautiful.* Lorelai thought over the glassy view of Rory.

Rory was standing up making a speech to Tristan. She was trying so hard not to cry. "Tristan I love you so much. More then words could say. Well maybe our song can sum it up. I asked Johnny to sing our song, because you know how bad of a voice I have. So this song is for you."

Johnny was so happy to help, especially with their song. When Rory gave her the ok, Johnny got up onto the stage and made a small speech before she started to sing. "Rory and Tristan, I want you to know that I am singing this song from the bottom of my heart. I hope you two have a wonderful marriage." Johnny said with a smile. "This song is for you guys." Rory and Tristan's song was Krystal's You're the Reason. It described everything about their relationship. Johnny was so excited to sing it that she was really concentrating when she sang the words. The song went:

You're the Reason why I found my way.

You're the reason why I feel this way.

And you're the reason why I have to say,

'I have to let you know you're my everything.'

So many times I've been alone

I didn't know what to do

I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have

Didn't have you

You come for me

And made me believe

You gave me the strength I need

Since you came into my life

It's been so heavenly

You're the Reason why I found my way.

You're the reason why I feel this way.

And you're the reason why I have to say,

'I have to let you know you're my everything.'

So many things I want to say to you

I give my whole life just because

You came around and gave me all your

All your love

I will sacrifice my very life

All you have to do is say the word

'Cause their will never be no other

No other.

You're the Reason why I found my way.

You're the reason why I feel this way.

And you're the reason why I have to say,

'I have to let you know you're my everything.'

Rory and Tristan stood up from their seats and walked over to the dance floor. Tristan took her in his arms and held her close. She looked breath taking in her dress, Tristan couldn't take his eyes off her. During the song Tristan and Rory were talking while other people were getting up to join in.

"So, How does it feel?" Tristan asked her.

"Being in your tight embrace? Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful." Rory said while staring into his eyes.

" No, not this. How does it feel to be marriage to me? Mrs. Dugray?"

"It's a great feeling." Rory said right before they kissed.

Rory and Tristan hadn't noticed that Robin and Sean had danced their way next to the happily married couple.

"Rory? Tristan? Sean and I have news for you."

"What is it? You didn't my sister pregnant?" Tristan said to Sean.

" No Tristan, nothing like that." Robin said to her brother.

"Well, tell us." Rory said.

"We are moving in together." Sean said.

"Are you kidding me? I can't believe this." Tristan was fuming. "Had you going there for a sec didn't I."

"Yeah, hilarious." Robin said to him.

"That's great." Rory said she was thrilled.

"Well, you two have fun." Sean said to them as he and Robin danced away from them.

Rory and Tristan had got caught up in dancing with each other that they didn't notice their song was over. Lorelai was trying to get their attention with the microphone.

But they never noticed. Once Lorelai was fed up she herself started to sing Rory's favorite song as a kid.

"Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens…Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens…Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings…" Lorelai spoke softly into the mic.

Rory placed her head on his shoulder. "Theses are a few of my favorite things." Rory whispered into Tristan's ear. "I love you Tristan."

"I love you too, Rory." Rory then lifted her head from Tristan's shoulder to give him a kiss, but stopped herself when she noticed her mother. She was standing on the stage looking at Rory and Tristan.

"Well now that I have gotten you attention. I wanted to say 'welcome home to reality.'" Rory and Tristan just smiled and decided to walk back to their table. " Rory, a few of your bridesmaids want to say a few words to the both of you."

"Ok, we're all ears." Rory said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah I'm sure, so Lane will you come up?"

Lane smiled at Lorelai, stood up and walked over to the stage and took the mic from her. "Well, you finially did it. I am so proud of you." Lane said as she was about to cry. " So before I start to cry I want to say, I am glad that you and Tristan found out your feelings before I had to tell you about what was staring in your right in the face. I love you guys." Lane was now choked up with from the whole speech. She walked over to Lorelai to give her the microphone.

"Thank you Lane. And now your sister in Law would like to say something. Robin?"

Robin walked up from her seat that was right next to Rory and took the microphone away from Lorelai. " Thank you Lorelai. Tristan I don't think I could have asked for a better brother. Well maybe from when you were seven, you were really annoying. And maybe during the time that you hit puberty, you thought that you were this big hot shot. But anyway, Rory I am so happy that you are my sister-in-law, I couldn't have asked for anyone else." Robin handed the microphone back to Lorelai and went back to her seat.

"Now Cat, will you come up and say something."

Cat jumped at the chance. She ran over to Lorelai and grabbed the mic out of her hands. " I just wanted to say that I think that you, Rory, choose the greatest guy. And Tristan I swear if you hurt her so help me god, You will pay. Oh and also thanks so much for introducing Bruce to me. I love you Bruce." Cat waved to him over at the table and Lorelai took the mic out of her hand and pushed her out of the way.

"Ok, now Annie would like to say something to the happy couple." Lorelai waved her over and smiled. "Annie, come on down."

Annie took the mic and spoke into it. " So, Tristan you are a really great guy I just want to say that Rory is a great girl and I don't think you could have found a better. Congratulations you guys." Annie then sat back down next to Dean and went back to a conversation that they were having.

"Thank you Annie for your kind words. Now, Gretchen, Katerina, or Katie, who would like to speak next?"

Cat turned in there direction to see who was going to speak. Katerina was talking to Jason about something that she couldn't even hear. But Katie and Gretchen were sitting right next to each other. Since Cat was a seat away from them so she tapped their shoulders. They turned in her direction not knowing what was going on. They had this blank look on their faces; they were so out of it. Cat looked onto the table and saw the amount of liquor that was in them, she just shook it off and motioned for them to stand. They were about to walk to the front of the stage.

"Katie and Gretchen?" Lorelai motioned for them.

"Umm… were are going to make this short and sweet." Katie said.

"We Love You both." They said at the same time before turning around to see that their seats were still behind them.

"Ok, Katerina? Are you ready?"

Katerina walked around the table to Johnny who was talking to Drew, Tristan's attractive cousin. She bent over and whispered something into Johnny's ear. Katerina then proceeded to walk over to the stage with Johnny following her.

"I am kind of at a loss for words so I asked Johnny if she would do me this favor. So Rory and Tristan would you please come to the dance floor. You too are the cutest couple I have ever seen. I hope that you two have a long and happy relationship. So this song goes out to you, I hope you enjoy." Katerina walked down the stage and gave the microphone to Johnny and went back to the table.

Johnny started the song and Rory and Tristan started to dance.

"Remember when we never needed each other.

The best of friends like sister and brother.

We understood we'd never be alone.

Those days are gone now I want so much.

The night is long and I need your touch.

Don't know what to say never meant to feel this way.

Don't wanna be alone tonight.

What can I do to make you mine falling so hard.

So fast this time what did I say.

What did you do?

How did I fall in love with you?

(Ooh, ho)

I hear your voice and I start to tremble.

Brings back the child that I resemble.

I cannot pretend that we can still be friends.

Don't wanna be alone tonight.

What can I do to make you mine?

Falling so hard so fast this time.

What did I say?

What did you do?

How did I fall in love with you

Oh I want to say this right.

And it has to be tonight.

Just need you to know, oh yeah

I don't wanna live this life.

I don't wanna say goodbye.

With you I wanna spend

The rest of my life.

What can I do to make you mine?

Falling so hard, so fast, this time.

What did I say?

What did you do?

How did I fall in love with you?

What can I do to make you mine?

Falling, so hard, so fast, this time.

Everything's changed we never knew.

How did I fall in love with you?"



Rory and Tristan danced all night. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Tristan and Rory couldn't have asked for a better night. Rory promised her grandfather and Luke a dance and she kept that promise. Tristan was asked to dance by Emily and Lorelai. Both of them told him that if he hurt her there'd be a consequence. But he wasn't worried. Before Rory and Tristan went up to their room they dance the last slow song to Lonestars' Amazed. Once the song was over thirty they said their good-byes and went to their room that they had booked for the evening. Their flight for Europe wasn't until eleven the next morning. But they didn't mind it.

~~~~~ Independence Inn ~~~~~

Once they had made it up the stairs they were out of breath. Lorelai had let them take the honeymoon suite. They told her that she was making a fuss out of it. But Lorelai had insisted. They opened the door to inside.

"Rory, I think it was all worth it." Tristan tried to get out.

"Wow, my mom had changed it a lot." She said from the view from the doorway.

"Shall we?" Tristan said opening his arms to her.

"We shall." Rory rapped her arms around his neck. Tristan took Rory around the waist and picked her up.

"Wow, would you look at the size of that bed! It looks like double the size of my parents bed." Tristan hollered as he walked them into the room. He sort of dropped her at the same time.

Rory watched Tristan run over to the bed to test it out. "Ouch." Rory said as she tried to stand up in her dress.

"Oh, Rory I'm sorry. So do you find my sexy?" Tristan said as he sat up and started to unbutton his shirt.

Rory just started to laugh. "Oh, I do. But I think I need to take a shower before we start."

"That sounds like a good idea." Tristan said with a big smile. " I think I might join you."

"That sounds like fun." Rory slowly walked over to him. She gave him a kiss, a slow and tender kiss. She gradually deepened the kissed. She then stopped herself and motioned for him to unbutton her dress.

Tristan placed his hands on her shoulders and gently lowered them to the buttons. His hands were a little clumsy but he finally had gotten all of them unbuttoned.

Rory turned around and stepped out of her dress. Tristan had watched with his mouth wide open. Rory walked up to him and placed her hands on his belt buckle. She started to unbuckle his belt; he finished unbuttoning he shirt. On the floor now were his belt and shirt and the wedding dress. Rory hadn't moved her hands from his waist. Tristan placed his hand on her cheeks and pulled her close. Rory was playing with his belt loops and the bottom of his undershirt. Tristan kissed her and she couldn't control her hands she had taken the bottom of his shirt and moved it up his chest. They had parted their lips so that Rory could get the shirt over Tristan's head. As soon the shirt was off of his head they had resumed kissing. Tristan's hands had worked their way to Rory's underwear. He had a little trouble with it at first but then got a handle on it. Rory was practically naked and Tristan was still in his pants. She did the honor of unbutton them and giving them a little push. Then his pants dropped to the floor.

They had stopped kissed for a minute to take a breather. She had looked down at his underwear. " Tighty-whiteys?"

"What can I say? Today was laundry day."

"I see." She kissed him one more time on the lips before he moved down to her neck.

He decided to take this over to the bed. He walked her over very slowly to the bed that was two steps away. He then stopped kissing her on the neck and laid her onto the bed.

Rory and Tristan had went at it for a good 2 hours. Tristan had wanted to since he saw her in her wedding. Rory dreamt of this the night before. So she was ready.

Rory was gasping and panting. She was trying to keep up with Tristan. She couldn't keep quiet. Everything that Tristan did to her felt so sharp but also so right. She didn't was him to stop. Tristan started to gradually slow down. Then he rolled onto his back right next to his beautiful wife.

"Tristan, sweetheart you know I love you. But why did you stop?" Rory said as she laid her head on chest.

"I love you, too. But do you think I should use all my energy for you now?" Tristan said.

"I'm sorry you're tired." Rory said. "Let's go to sleep. You need your rest for the honeymoon week."

"I hope you don't think I am doing this every night." Tristan told her in protest.

"No are you kidding. We wouldn't always do this at night." Rory said. "I thought that we could do this during the day sometimes."

"Look Rory I am starting to think you married me to take advantage of me."

"Not at all. I value your opinion. I love you for you soul. I love you." Rory mumbled something about some of what he said was true.

"Rory you have got to be kidding me."

"What Tristan. Maybe I would like it if you gave pleasure. I guess I have just married a gay man. Since you don't want to have sex all the time."

"I can't believe you would say that. I love you with my entire mind body and soul. And all you want from me is my body."

"Well, I don't know what to think Tristan. But right now you pushed something. I need to take a walk." Rory crawled out of the bed and put her dress coat on top of her naked body. She opened the door and slammed it on the way out. Tristan just closed his eyes when she left thinking about what just happened.
