Chapter 21: Epilogue
"Hey, you've reached Kasey's cell. I'm not answering or my phone is, off, or this could actually be one of the rare occasions that I can't find it. Anyway, when it beeps leave me a good one!" BEEP!
"Hey Kase, it's Rory. Where are you? You were supposed to be in Stars Hollow fifteen minutes ago. We're getting worried. Tristan is trying Max's cell as we speak. Call me please!" Click.
"Hey Kase, it's Andy, Rory and Tristan are freaking out, so I suggest you get your butts over here and fast. Mara's worried too. I know that you had to pick up your brother and Amy, but you're about a half hour late now. Hurry up!"
"We're in trouble." Kasey muttered, listening to her messages, before turning to glare at the occupants in the backseat. "I told you to book an earlier flight!"
"Chill Sis. I'm sure Rory will understand." Brian Saunders grinned at his sister, before leaning forward to speak with Max. "Anyway you can speed this thing up?"
"Not unless I wanted to take out a bunch of other cars and we both know that'll end in disaster." Max shook his head and laughed.
"Don't even think about it!" Kasey and Amy said in unison, shooting death glares at their boyfriends.
"What?" They both said innocently.
"You two are impossible!" Amy threw her hands up in the air.
"I second that." Kasey gave Max a playful whack on the shoulder, before punching in a familiar number on her cell. "Hey Rory, it's me."
"I know I'm sorry I didn't call sooner. No, my brother's flight got delayed. I told them to book an earlier one, but they insisted that this one was fine."
"I know, tell the Reverend I'm sorry and we didn't mean to hold up the rehearsal. Look, we just past the sign that says Stars Hollow in two miles. We'll be there shortly. Okay, yes we're sorry. If it makes you feel any better you can beat up Brian and I'll help."
"Yeah, that's what I said. Okay, we'll see you shortly." Kasey hung up the phone. "She's gonna beat you up, Bri."
"Great." Brian rolled his eyes. "And, you're going to help, I presume."
"Oh yeah, definitely." Kasey grinned, shooting Max a look. "Faster!"
Max chuckled. "You told me I couldn't hit other cars."
"Yeah, but we're holding up the rehearsal for Rory and Tristan's wedding, whom, may I remind you, we haven't seen in four months. We arrived at the hotel late last night, so we didn't get to see them. We spent today picking up these two." Kasey complained.
"Hey, your career is the one that dragged us out to Los Angeles." Max pointed out. "I'm just along for the ride."
"Of course you are. You are my boyfriend after all." Kasey shot back, before turning to Amy. "How are things in Washington, by the way?"
"Great, I'm starting to think Senator Kelley sees me as more than Coffee girl." Amy grinned.
"Alright and Bri, what's it like playing for the Baltimore Ravens?" Kasey grinned, smiling at her brother.
"Perfect, well maybe not, since I'm away sometimes, but I love the game." Brian grinned.
"I'm working too, though." Amy pointed out. "So, I can't believe Rory is getting married. I thought it would be you two who would walk down the aisle first."
"And I thought you and Brian would be first. You've been together for what, eight years?" Kasey teased. "Two years of Highschool, all through college, then the two years we've been actual adults."
"Yeah, I agree with Kasey, you've been together the longest." Max nodded his head in agreement.
"But Rory and Tristan should have been together just as long, but too much drama got in the way." Brian pointed out.
"Why do I tell you stuff?" Kasey shook her head. "He's starting to talk like me." She said to Max, who grinned at her, before parking the car in front of the Stars Hollow Church.
"That's a little of me too." Amy joked.
"There you are!" Mara raced down the steps toward the foursome, that just emerged from the car.
"Hey!" Kasey greeted her, opening her arms to give her ex-suitemate a hug. "You look fantastic. How've you been?"
"Fantastic." She repeated, hugging her tightly. "Tristan and I decided to open a practice together in Massachusetts because it's close enough for Rory to be able to see her mother and Andy just got signed with the Patriots."
"No way!" Kasey laughed. "Andy with the Pats and you and Tristan working together? Who would have thought?"
"Hey Brat!" Andy skipped down the steps and hugged Kasey once Mara pulled away. "We were wondering where you were."
"Why don't you ask those two?" Kasey jabbed her thumb at Brian and Amy.
"Ames!" Andy wrapped her in a hug as well. "I've missed you!"
"Missed you too." Amy replied hugging him back. "Congrats with the Patriots!"
"Thanks. I'm completely pysched. A runningback for Tom Brady himself, can you believe it?"
"No, but it's true." Kasey chimed in.
"It's about freaking time!" Tristan snapped goodnautredly, as he came towards them. "Knightly!" He shook Max's hand with gusto. "It's been too long!"
"You're telling me. Blame my writer of a girlfriend." Ma laughed, clapping Tristan on the back. "So, you're getting hitched?"
"You bet." Tristan's eyes twinkled, before he turned to Kasey. "Hey Gorgeous!" He wrapped her in a hug and kissed her cheek. "How ya been?"
"Pretty decent. Hoping to find a publisher on the east coast so we're a bit closer to home." Kasey smiled. "Now, where's the bride to be?"
"Here!" Rory grinned, as she threw herself into Kasey's arms. "Where the hell have you been?"
"A little town called LA." Kasey hugged her ex-roommate.
"Kase, there's nothing little about Los Angeles and it's definately not a town. That place is a city." Max chuckled.
"You're so lucky this is Stars Hollow or we wouldn't have time to rehearse." Rory said, moving to give Max a hug.
"Yeah, well, you have your maid of honor and two other bridesmaids, why wait on little old me?" Kasey smiled.
"Uh, cause you were an important part of my life for four years." Rory shot her a 'you're not funny ' look.
"Let's get this over with so we can get to the dinner. I'm starved." Brian whined.
"Typical male. Always thinking of his stomache." Amy rolled her eyes.
"And sex!" Brian, Max and Tristan said in unison, wide grins stretched across their faces. They all received whacks from their respective girlfriends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
An hour later, everyone was seated in Luke's Diner. Rory, Tristan, Kasey, Max, Andy, Mara, Lane, Dave, Paris, Jamie, Brian and Amy were all clustered around about five tables pushed together.
"I can't believe you're getting married tomorrow." Lane squealed excitedly.
"I know, someone pinch me, I'm dreaming." Rory grinned. Before, "Ouch!" She shot Paris a dirty look.
"What?" Paris said innocently.
"So what about you two? Where's her ring, Knightly?" Tristan raised his eyebrows at his friend.
"On back order." Max answered smoothly, popping a french fry in his mouth.
"Ha ha!" Kasey rolled her eyes. "He's such a little comedian." She nudged him with her elbow.
"No, that would be me." Andy shook his head.
"Well, what about you guys?" Rory turned to Lane and Dave. "Are you planning on getting married?"
"Someday, but Dave and I are concentrating on our careers right now. I mean, we're just out of college." Lane shrugged. "Or, at least I am."
Paris rolled her eyes. "I think everyone should be concentrating on their careers. If it weren't for Dugrey's fortune this wedding would be mighty small."
"Excuse her. She's grumpy and didn't have her medication yet." Jamie grinned pulling Paris close and whispering something in her ear.
"Andy?" Kasey raised her eyebrows at her friend. "And don't lie, Ames and I can always tell when you're lying."
"The woes of being best friends with two girls since highschool." Andy laughed. "I don't know. I just got signed to the Patriots, Mara's opening a practice with Tristan. We'll just see what happens."
"Honest." Kasey shrugged. "We talked to Brian and Amy in the car, but mum's the word for them."
The group laughed and the subject changed to careers, before it was time for them to go. Tristan would go back with Max to the hotel room, while Kasey went with Rory to her mothers. Lane was also going to crash with them.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Kasey whispered, leanign up to rub her nose against Max's. "Please put your tuxedo on right." She teased.
"And you say I'm the comedian." Max shook his head and tightened his grip around her waist, lifting her up off the ground. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too." She bent her head and gave him a wuick peck on the lips. "See ya in the morning."
He reluctantly placed her down and turned to his own car.
"Tomorrow." Rory whispered, leaning against Tristan. "I'm going to become a Dugrey tomorrow."
"Hmm, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with the woman I love tomorrow." Tristan pulled her close. "You nervous?"
"A little, but that's expected. I know I'm ready." Rory smiled.
"Or, are you just nervous about the wedding night?" Tristan smirked, nuzzling his face into her neck.
"You of all people should know I'm not a Mary anymore." Rory giggled.
"You'll always be my Mary." Tristan laughed and picked his head up. "I'll miss you." He pressed his lips to hers in a passionate kiss.
"I'll miss you, but think of what we're doing for tomorrow." Rory grinned and pulled away. "I ove you."
"I love you, Mary." Tristan called after her, before climbing into the car with a grumpy Max.
"Tonight is not going to be fun." Max grumbled, starting up the engine.
"Hey, I'm the one being seperated from my Bride!" Tristan pointed out. "You're just being seperated from your girlfriend, for one night."
"Hmph." Max huffed and pulled out of Stars Hollow, Andy Mara, Amy and Brian right behind them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then next morning dawned sunny and clear, as the girls woke up and drank massive amounts of coffee. Rory had a permanent grin stretched across her face and Lane, Kasey and Lorelai could only shake their heads and laugh at their friend and daughter in Lorelai's case.
"Going to the Chapel and we're gonna get married, gee I really love you and we're gonna get married. Going to the Chapel and we're gonna get married, going to the Chapel of love!" Kasey sang softly.
Rory laughed. "I used to hate that song, but it fits today."
"Well, you are getting married." Kane pointed out, smiling broadly.
"To Brad Pitt." Lorelai sighed dreamily. "How is that Rory got Mr. Hot and I married Diner Boy."
"HEY!" They heard Luke's indiginant shout from the livingroom.
The girls cracked up laughing. "I better go sooth his wounded ego." Lorelai smiled and made her way towards the livingroom.
"I'm getting married." Rory said happily. "To Tristan Dugrey."
"Whoo Hoo!" Kasey grinned and punched her hand in the air. "Way to snag him!"
"Oh shut up." Rory rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't talk. You have Max completely whipped." She teased.
"Yeah, well. How could he resist me?" Kasey twirled around in a circle. "He loves me!"
"Come on, we better get ready." Lane dragged the two giggling girls towards Rory's room. Paris and Mara arrived a few minutes later.
Kasey smiled, as she watched Lorelai do Rory's hair in the mirror. Lane and Mara were putting curlers in their hair and Paris was using a curling iron on her own locks. Kasey picking up a second curling iron and began to curl her own hair. Then, she pulled two strands in front and pulled them back, before pinning them behind her head. Lane did her's in a similar style, where Mara opted for the top half of her hair being pinned back. Paris just allowed her hair to fall in curls.
Rory's hair was curled expertly, while the front pieces were pulled back and cinched tightly. Lorelai connected the veil to that section, before leaving to do her own hair, while the girls put on light make-up. They laughed and cried about just anything and soon it was time to pull on the gowns.
Rory pulled out the mystery dress and disappeared into the bathroom, while the other girls changed in her room. Rory had picked out really light green, spring gowns. It was a two piece, with an extra shorter skirt to come with it so they could change before the reception. The skirt part was a line and fell so the end just brushed the floor. The top was a corset top, with spagetti straps that ran over the shoulders. Kasey couldn't help but think of Max's eyes once she looked at them.
When Rory reappeared, the girls gasped in surprise. The gown was a line and fell to the floor. It just flowed out gently at the waist, so it wasn't really wide. The top was a strapless corset, covered in a white bead pattern. Her veil was in place and gently covered her face. She looked absolutely beautiful.
"Wow!" Kasey broked the awed silence. "Rory, you look, there are no words that'll do justice with how beautiful you look. Tristan is going to faint."
"Oh." Tears welled up in Rory's eyes and she hastily blinked them back. "I can't cry or I'll smudge the mascara."
"I'd hug you, but I don't want to crinkle the dress." Kasey shrugged helplessly. "Come on, we have to get to the church cause someone's getting married."
The girls laughed and hurried out to where the lime waited, Lorelai snapping pictures like a crazy person.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
"Ladies and Gentleman, please give the lucky couple some room, as Rory and Tristan have their first dance as husband an wife."
It's undeniable
that we should be together
it's unbelievable
how that I used to say
that I'd fall never
the basis is need to know
if you don't know
just how I feel
then let me show you now
that I'm for real
if all things in time
time will reveal
one
you're like a dream come true
two
just wanna be with you
three
Girl it's plain to see
that you're the only one for me
and Four
repeat steps one through three
five
make you fall in love with me
if ever I believe that my work is done
then I start back at one
"We seem to have a thing for Brian McKnight." Rory whispered, pressing her cheek against Tristan's.
"He helped us get here today." He replied, kissing the base of her neck.
It's so incredible
the way things work themselves out
all emotional
once you know what
it's all about
and undesirable
for us to be apart
never would have made it very far
'Cause you know you've got the keys to
my heart
one
you're like a dream come true
two
just wanna be with you
three
Girl it's plain to see
that you're the only one for me
and Four
repeat steps one through three
five
make you fall in love with me
if ever I believe that my work is done
then I start back at one
say farewell to the dark of night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a littel child
whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
into this lonely heart of mine
you threw out the lifeline
just in the nick of time
one
you're like a dream come true
two
just wanna be with you
three
Girl it's plain to see
that you're the only one for me
and Four
repeat steps one through three
five
make you fall in love with me
if ever I believe that my work is done
then I start back at one
"I love you Bible boy." Rory whispered, once the song ended.
"I love you, My Mary." He pulled back and kissed her softly.
"It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours, since you went away, I miss you so much and I don't know what to say, I should be over you, I should know better, but that's just not the case." Rory sang softly.
"It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours since you went away." Tristan finished, just as appaulse broke out. "Let's go join our friends, Mrs. Dugrey."
"I could get used to that." Rory closed her eyes and smiled.
"You'll have to." Tristan kissed her head and led his wife towards where their friends waited. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Kasey and Max got married a year after Rory and Tristan did. Tristan was bestman and Andy, Brian and Max's coworker Mike were his groomsmen. Kasey's maid of honor was Amy, and Rory, Mara and Andy's Ex and Kasey former best friend, Ashley were the bride's maid. Max and Kasey's song was 'Full Of Grace' by SarArah Mchlachlen.
Andy and Mara got married a few months later. Tristan was again best man and Kasey was maid of honor. Rory, Max, Paris and Jamie were the grooms men and bride'smaids. Their song was Celine Dion and R.Kelly's 'I'm Your Angel'.
Amy and Brian got married also. Andy was bestman and Kasey was maid of honor. Rory, Mara and Ashley were the bride'smaids. Tristan, Max and Kasey's first boyfriend Chris were the groom'smen. Their song was 'All The Way' by Frank Sinatra.
They all lived happily ever after and kept in touch with each other. Oh and Lane and Dave got married too, as well as Paris and Jamie. That's all. I hope you all enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'm going to write a few stories for other things, like right now, I've got a Lord Of The Rings thing going and I plan to write for my other shows and some other stuff maybe, but I will return to GG fics with some more Trory stuff! Laterz, Lucas'sgirl!
"Hey, you've reached Kasey's cell. I'm not answering or my phone is, off, or this could actually be one of the rare occasions that I can't find it. Anyway, when it beeps leave me a good one!" BEEP!

"Chill Sis. I'm sure Rory will understand." Brian Saunders grinned at his sister, before leaning forward to speak with Max. "Anyway you can speed this thing up?"
"Not unless I wanted to take out a bunch of other cars and we both know that'll end in disaster." Max shook his head and laughed.

just wanna be with you
three
Girl it's plain to see
that you're the only one for me
and Four
repeat steps one through three
five
make you fall in love with me
if ever I believe that my work is done
then I start back at one
"We seem to have a thing for Brian McKnight." Rory whispered, pressing her cheek against Tristan's.
"He helped us get here today." He replied, kissing the base of her neck.
It's so incredible
the way things work themselves out
all emotional
once you know what
it's all about
and undesirable
for us to be apart
never would have made it very far
'Cause you know you've got the keys to
my heart
one
you're like a dream come true
two
just wanna be with you
three
Girl it's plain to see
that you're the only one for me
and Four
repeat steps one through three
five
make you fall in love with me
if ever I believe that my work is done
then I start back at one
say farewell to the dark of night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a littel child
whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
into this lonely heart of mine
you threw out the lifeline
just in the nick of time
one
you're like a dream come true
two
just wanna be with you
three
Girl it's plain to see
that you're the only one for me
and Four
repeat steps one through three
five
make you fall in love with me
if ever I believe that my work is done
then I start back at one
"I love you Bible boy." Rory whispered, once the song ended.
"I love you, My Mary." He pulled back and kissed her softly.
"It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours, since you went away, I miss you so much and I don't know what to say, I should be over you, I should know better, but that's just not the case." Rory sang softly.
"It's been six months, eight days, twelve hours since you went away." Tristan finished, just as appaulse broke out. "Let's go join our friends, Mrs. Dugrey."
"I could get used to that." Rory closed her eyes and smiled.
"You'll have to." Tristan kissed her head and led his wife towards where their friends waited. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Kasey and Max got married a year after Rory and Tristan did. Tristan was bestman and Andy, Brian and Max's coworker Mike were his groomsmen. Kasey's maid of honor was Amy, and Rory, Mara and Andy's Ex and Kasey former best friend, Ashley were the bride's maid. Max and Kasey's song was 'Full Of Grace' by SarArah Mchlachlen.
Andy and Mara got married a few months later. Tristan was again best man and Kasey was maid of honor. Rory, Max, Paris and Jamie were the grooms men and bride'smaids. Their song was Celine Dion and R.Kelly's 'I'm Your Angel'.
Amy and Brian got married also. Andy was bestman and Kasey was maid of honor. Rory, Mara and Ashley were the bride'smaids. Tristan, Max and Kasey's first boyfriend Chris were the groom'smen. Their song was 'All The Way' by Frank Sinatra.
They all lived happily ever after and kept in touch with each other. Oh and Lane and Dave got married too, as well as Paris and Jamie. That's all. I hope you all enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'm going to write a few stories for other things, like right now, I've got a Lord Of The Rings thing going and I plan to write for my other shows and some other stuff maybe, but I will return to GG fics with some more Trory stuff! Laterz, Lucas'sgirl!
