"Everybody ready? Okay, go." Lorelei shooed Shanda and Georgia up the aisle. They each carried a small basket filled with white rose petals. When they got about halfway up the aisle, Paris, Laine, and Sookie with their escorts (Jamie, Dave, and Jackson) walked up the aisle. Next it was Lorelei's turn. Finally, Christopher and Luke took Rory's arms. "Ready to go?" Luke whispered. Rory nodded, too overwhelmed to speak. Christopher tightened his grip on Rory's arm and together they walked toward Jess and the rest of their lives. Rory, Luke, and Christopher stopped just in front of Jess, and her dads gave Rory away to Jess. Jess smiled and nodded, mouthing 'Thank you' to both men. Rory and Jess then turned to face each other. Rory stared into Jess's eyes. "I love you," he mouthed. Rory squeezed his hand and mouthed "I love you too." The minister began the vows: "Do you Jess Mariano take Lorelei Leigh Gilmore to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" Jess nodded. "I do." The minister then asked Rory the same thing. They then turned to the girls for their rings. Jess took Rory's ring from Georgia and slipped it onto Rory's finger. Rory then took Jess's ring from her younger sister. She slid it halfway onto her index finger, then kissed it before putting it on Jess's finger. The minister said "You may now kiss the bride." Jess took Rory's hands and leaned in. Their lips met for a brief kiss, then pulled away. Babette stood up and yelled "Come on! Put a little more effort into it! Jeez!" Rory laughed and put a hand on the back of Jess's neck, pulling him down into another kiss. Babette was satisfied. "Good enough, but you two still need to work on it." The minister said "If anyone here believes that these two should not be married, please speak now or forever hold your peace." In the back, a voice spoke up "Don't do it Rory." Rory felt sick. She knew that voice all too well. Another voice chimed in "I love you more than either of those morons do. Get away from that jerk. Come with me." Rory moved in toward Jess and he put his arm around her protectively. She knew both of those voices. Dean and Tristan. Just then Luke stood up. "Get out," he snarled. "Leave and don't try to talk to her again!" Dean walked up to Luke. "Make me," he said. Rory pulled away from Jess and ran to Dean. "Don't do this to me Dean. Please. Just leave." Dean considered this for a moment. "Alright. I'll go. But first." Dean grabbed Rory and tilted her back, kissing her. Rory pushed him off of her and punched him in the face. *Yeah Rory!* Dean put a hand over his face and ran out of the building. Tristan looked at Rory. "This isn't the last you'll hear from me Rory Gilmore. I promise you this." Rory waved her left hand in his face. "It's Mariano now. Get it right." She walked back up to the pulpit and stood next to Jess. "Good-bye Tristan." There was an awkward pause, then Lorelei stood up and said "Okay everyone. Reception's outside. Bridal party come this way for pictures." Everyone stood, coming up to Rory and Jess to congratulate them, then walked to the reception in the backyard of the inn.
*Yeah, I know the wedding was screwed up, but I needed it in that order so I could do the "It's Mariano now" bit. Sowwy ( ~the14milo*
