2:00pm TUESDAY
KNOCK-KNOCK
Tristan had gone downstairs a few minutes ago. Rory thought that he had forgotten his key. "Tris I reminded you to take your key."
She got up and opened the door "mum, Luke what are you doing here?"
"Tristan told us to come, and your grandfather is right behind us."
"Where's grandma? Did she stay at home?"
"No she's downstairs talking to Tristan. She seems to really like him." Lorelai gave her daughter a huge hug and then Luke did too.
Tristan walked in the door with Emily. "Hello Rory, congratulations. Tristan is a really great guy" Emily hugged her granddaughter and then turned to Luke. "Luke can I please talk to you for a minute?"
"Um. sure" Luke followed her out the room.
OUTSIDE
"Luke you obviously know that Tristan has asked Rory to marry him. He organized for the wedding to take place in three hours."
"He's what? Three hours?" Luke was gobsmacked.
"He needs our help. He needs us to get everyone to the venue without them getting suspicious and without Rory knowing. So that means you can't let Lorelai know. She won't be able to keep it a secret."
"I can help."
"Okay, you need to get Lorelai dress up and Rory into the dress that Tristan has brought for her."
"That could be difficult. You see, Lorelai didn't pack anything except bathing suits and sun dresses."
"That's no problem. If we hurry we can get downstairs and buy a dress without her noticing. And we can buy suits for you and Luke Jr."
Luke and Emily went down to the foyer and found the dress shop.
BACK IN ROOM
"Why did mum take Luke away?" Lorelai looked at Tristan.
"She said that she wanted to have a chat with him while you and Rory were catching up."
"Oh. I'd better go make sure that she hasn't driven him crazy."
"No don't, stay here with Rory. I'll go" Tristan walked out the door.
DOWNSTAIRS
"Mum," Luke felt funny saying that word to her. "I hate suits. I look like a dork."
"No you don't. You look very cute. Anyway, you can't were a plaid shirt and leans with a backwards cap to a wedding. Especially Rory's wedding."
"I know that. But why can't I wear a nice pair of dress pants and a nice shirt? Why do I have to try on all these suits?"
"Like I said. You look so cute in a suit."
Tristan walked in the door.
"Hi Luke, Mrs. Gilmore. You are so lucky that Lorelai isn't down here right now. She was going to come down and check whether you had driven Luke crazy yet." Tristan let out laugh.
"Well she has. Please tell her that I don't have to wear a suit. Tell her that I can just wear a pair of dress pants and a nice shirt."
"I don't really care what you wear. I'm actually wearing a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. This is only a casual thing."
"Tristan you have to wear a suit." Emily was shocked to hear that he was planning on wearing that.
"But the wedding's on the beach." Tristan had forgotten to mention that detail to Emily.
"Oh, well Luke you can take that suit off. And we can go and choose Lorelai's dress and you can go with Tristan and choose what you and Luke Jr. will wear later."
They all left the shop and went in search of a dress shop. After a bit more fighting they decided on a casual but smart dress. That was pink at the top and purple at the bottom, the two colours blended together in the middle.
Emily then went upstairs to be with the girls. Tristan and Luke decided to go for a walk.
"Luke can I ask you to do me a favor?"
"Yeh sure."
"I would like you to be my best man and I would like Luke Jr. to be a ring boy or something."
"Why me? Don't you have like a million friends?"
"I think it would be great if you were my best man. And no I don't have a million 'friends'. I have acquaintances and other people like that. But I don't have any real friends that I could ask to do a thing like that for me."
"Okay, yeah I'll be your best man and Luke Jr. will be a ring boy. That means that we can stop looking for suit kind of things. Luke Jr. and I can just wear Hawaiian shirts and jeans like you."
"That sounds good." Tristan and Luke went and brought the clothes and then went back to the room.
6:00pm TUESDAY
"Lorelai, Tristan wants to go out to dinner to celebrate. He's brought you two some dresses. Here you go. Put them on and do whatever else you need to do then we'll go. Tristan wants to meet us on the beach in about an hour." Luke then left the girls with their dresses and went to tell Tristan that everything was going okay. And to get changed.
BACK IN THE ROOM
"Tristan is so good to us mum. He loves Little Lorelai and he loves me. Plus an extra bonus is that he buys me lots of coffee." Rory knew the last bit was something that her mum would like.
"I know he's a great guy. He looked after you when you were depressed. But the fact that he buys you lots of coffee make him a saint."
"Mum! There's more he can do than buy coffee" Rory pretended to be upset. "But I'll get him to buy you some" she smiled and finished getting ready.
6:45pm TUESDAY
"Wow, who are you and what did you do to my Luke?" Lorelai laughed when she saw her husband.
"Well Tristan told me that we were having dinner at the beach and he told me to buy something beachy, so I went to the surf shop and brought this." Luke looked down at what he was wearing.
"You two can keep admiring each other on the way but we need to leave" Rory put Little Lorelai on the floor on the floor so she could walk with Luke Jr.
ON THE BEACH
"Mr. Gilmore, Mrs. Gilmore." Tristan greeted his future grandparent in- laws.
"Drisan!"
"Little Lorelai!" Tristan picked up the little girl and gave Rory a kiss on the cheek.
"So where's dinner" Lorelai said looking around.
Tristan smiled at Luke "just around the corner."
They all walked around the corner together. As soon as Rory realized where they were and what was going on she was shocked.
"Tristan, I had no idea."
"No one did sweetie. Only your grandma, grandpa and Luke knew" Tristan smiled at her.
"Let's get started," said Richard. He went to take his seat.
"No grandpa, will you please give me away?"
"Yes. I'd love to."
Everyone took their places and the ceremony began.
When it came to the 'I dos' Rory said it so happily.
Then the minister said, "I now pronounce you husband and wife."
Tristan turned to his new wife. He looked her in the eyes and said, "I am now the happiest man alive." He then kissed her. Everyone clapped.
