Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls, even though I have tried to buy it

it's by Alanis Morset, and she kicks ass by the way).
A/N: Hallo all!

That's so yall don't get too koRnfused. Okiday.. now I luv all my reviewers and you inspire me to keep going. It's because of you that I started another story (on 7th Heaven fanfic) so if ur a fan of 7H, pleez check it out. Okay then, on with the story.
Chapter 17: It's Like Rain on Your Wedding Day
Rory woke up early on August 16th with the sun streaming in her window. A smile graced her delicate features as she realized what day it was. She started to scream which sent her mother stumbling down the stairs, still half asleep. Lorelai had been sound asleep when she heard screams penetrate the walls of her bedroom.
"Rory! What's wrong?" she asked with fear evident in her voice.
Rory grinned, "I'm getting married today!"
Relief flooded Lorelai's veins as she realized her daughter was screaming in excitement, not in pain or fear. She hopped into her little girl's bed and laughed with her. They talked about Rory's childhood and all the silly things they used to do. They were a little sad, but the girls knew that their future would still be magnificent.
A thought struck Lorelai, "I just thought about something."
"What?" Rory inquired.
"I'm never going to tell you the story of your birth on your birthday again," she replied gloomily.
Rory was a little upset at first, but then she had an idea, "I know! You still can, we'll make it a tradition that keeps going. Every year you'll spend the night at Jess and my place and then at the exact time I'm born you can kick Jess out and you'll tell me the story."
Lorelai laughed and she knew that it would really happen. That's the kind of relationship that they had. They knew it was absurd, and they should just say it was an old tradition that couldn't go on anymore. Lorelai didn't care, though, every year since Rory was one she had told her the story. Happiness removed her sad feeling and she knew everything would be okay.
Rory jumped out of bed and announced she was going to take a shower. She had an appointment to have her hair done in an hour, and she wanted to have already showered and gotten dressed. Lorelai headed off to Luke's since Jess and Rory couldn't see each other before the wedding.
-----------------------------------
Jess had woken up to the sounds of people demanding food downstairs in the diner. He looked over at his alarm clock to see the time, but his gaze stopped when he reached the picture of Rory. He couldn't believe that in less than seven hours she would be his forever. For the first time in a while Jess actually smiled. It wasn't like the smirk that was usually on his face; it was a genuine smile.
Lorelai barged into Luke's and plopped down at a stool. The place was more crowded that usual, but she knew it was because Luke's was closing at five for Rory and Jess' wedding. Everyone in town was going to the reception in the town square, but only family and a few close friends were going to the actual wedding. Luke finally stopped rushing around to see what Lorelai needed.
"Coffee?" he asked her.
"Yes! Coffee, coffee, coffee!" she exclaimed with laughter in her big blue eyes.
Luke sighed, "Coming right up, anything to eat?"
"Well, I don't know if Rory can eat," she started, but cut herself off with laughter at the ridiculousness of Rory not being able to eat.
Luke just shook his head and headed off to get Lorelai some coffee; he also put some coffee in a to-go cup for Rory. Jess was still upstairs, and since he was getting married he knew he couldn't force him to come downstairs and help. Lorelai had started to drum her fingers on the table.
"Lukey," she whined, "I'm bored. Oooo! I have an idea... let's make out and make everyone in here talk."
"Lorelai!" Luke said as a slight blush crept onto his cheeks.
"What? I'm just saying it would be entertaining," she replied with a Jess- like smirk.
Luke actually thought about kissing her. If he did, it would prove he wasn't as predictable as he knew Lorelai thought and it would take care of telling the nosy townspeople. Luke knew he couldn't do that to Rory, though. This was her wedding day, and he didn't want to take the spotlight away from her. He discreetly stroked Lorelai's hand to tell her he wanted to kiss her, but now was not the time. She nodded in understanding and told him to give her pancakes to go. He obliged, and she was out the door again before he could say another word. Luke went back to work and thought about how wonderful it would be when they could tell the world about their relationship.
----------------------------------------
Lorelai had returned and Rory was out of the shower and dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. She didn't want to get into her wedding dress until a little before the wedding, so she wouldn't get it dirty. The girls ate their breakfast and headed over to have Rory's hair done. They goofed off the entire time the lady was fixing her hair. She had it put up in a ponytail on top of her head and looped around pieces of it to make it Audrey Hepburn style. Her veil and tiara was attached right in front of the bun.
Rory's hair was done by 1:00, and her wedding was at five and they decided to eat lunch. Rory called Lane and told her that they were hungry and she agreed to meet them at Al's. Lorelai had been calling Luke to inform him of their whereabouts so Jess wouldn't accidentally run into Rory and see her. Rory felt silly eating in her veil with a formal up-do, but she was insanely happy.
After they ate lunch, Rory was ushered back to the house quickly where Lane was to put on her makeup. Lorelai and Rory had gone in the day before to have manicures and pedicures done which looked amazing. Lane used a gray color eye shadow on her eyes, which made the intensity of the blue stand out. Eyeliner and mascara were used to finish off her eyes and powder and blush were added to her face. She dabbed some red lipstick onto Rory's lips and her makeup was done.
"Wow," Lane said.
"What? Let me see!" Rory exclaimed.
"Wow," Rory mimicked, "I'm gorgeous."
Lane sighed, "I can't believe your getting married."
"Me neither," Rory replied with a smile
By the time Rory's makeup was completed, it was 3:30, so it was time to get into her dress. While Lorelai and Lane were holding it above her head, Rory couldn't help but wonder if Jess was getting into his tux now. Lorelai zipped her up and fixed her veil for her.
--------------------------------------
Jess was attempting to tie his tie, but he was having a lot of difficulties. He had never in his life worn a tuxedo, and it was hard to know where everything went. Luke was already in his tux and he came out and laughed at the site of Jess struggling with his tie. He walked over to his nephew and helped him with it. The two looked at each other and Luke smiled.
"What?" Jess asked.
"I can't believe you of all people are getting married," he replied with a laugh.
Jess scowled at his uncle, "Shut up."
Luke just laughed as the two walked out of the door and down the stairs. It was four thirty and Jess was due at the "altar." They were actually getting married on the bridge, but they wanted to. That was where a lot had happened, and they wanted to get married there, too. By the time the two arrived, the minister was already there. He smiled at Jess and they stood there and waited for the bride to arrive.
----------------------------------------
All three girls were rushing out of the Gilmore House. Rory was dressed and ready to go. Her gown was a gorgeous strapless and had flowers embroidered on the top and along the bottom. Her veil hung to her butt and it was lined in a thin white ribbon. She was stunning.
They stood out of view of the bridge as Lorelai started to walk down the "aisle." Her and Lane were in matching pink dresses that hung to below their knees. Lane followed her and stood next to Lorelai. Rory finally came into view, and Jess thought he would die. This beautiful angel was standing there as music from a CD player started to play. He watched her as she walked down the bridge towards the man she loved.
When she finally reached the end all she heard was Jess breathe in an almost inaudible wow. She grinned and admired the way he looked by raising her eyebrows. He never wore a suit. Rory partially expected to walk down to Jess in a Metallica T-shirt and jeans! The minister started the ceremony by asking if anyone objected. Luckily, no one said anything so they continued.
The minister stated, "Jess and Lorelai decided to write their own vows and Jess will say his to Rory at this time."
Jess took a deep breath and started, "Lorelai, wait that's weird... Rory, you mean the world to me. Before I met you nobody cared about me, but you saw through every wall I ever tried to put up. I love you more than I ever thought was possible and I will try to make you half as happy as you make me for all of eternity. You are the only girl for me, and I know that I couldn't possibly love anyone as much as I love you. I want you to be the mother of our children, and my wife forever."
A single tear slid down Rory's cheek as Jess said the beautiful words to her. He reached with his hand and wiped it away. She smiled and took his hand in her own. Luke and Lorelai watched as they each poured their souls out to each other.
"Now Rory will declare her vows to Jess," the minister announced.
Rory smiled as she spoke, "Jess, I never knew love could be so powerful; you showed me that. If you think about it, life is like a book. Our story started the day I saw you in my room looking at my books. Each time we saw each other is all the chapters and it makes up the middle. The only difference in our lives and a book is that our story will never end. We will love each other even after death and I know our story will be happy. Our children will grow up with parents who are in love, and that's all I really want. I love you."
Jess smiled as Rory related life and books because it mirrored countless conversations they had had in the past. They placed their wedding rings on each other's fingers and then linked their fingers together. The minister cleared his throat and said the words both of them had been dying to hear. As he said them, rain started to fall. Although some people would look at it as a bad sign, Rory and Jess always thought that rain symbolized cleansing and purity.
"With the power invested by me from the state of Connecticut, I now pronounce you husband and wife," the minister said with a smile.
To Jess he stated, "Oh yes, and you may kiss your bride."
Jess grinned as he took his new wife into his arms. The moment their lips touched electricity shot through their bodies. Their tongues dueled for a short moment before the couple pulled away. By that time, the rain had started to fall faster and Rory and Jess looked into each others eyes and both started singing at the top of their lungs as they ran towards their reception.
"It's like raaaaiiiaaaaannnn on your wedding day...."
Their laughter could be heard as the two danced and twirled their way towards the town square. Luke and Lorelai laughed and shook their heads at the two. Lane had already run to find that song to play at some point during the reception so Luke and Lorelai were left alone. They held hands and walked around for a few minutes before going to the party. Even though the day ended in rain, it was still perfect for their wedding.
