The next morning dawned bright. Lorelei woke up with a smile on her face and it took her a second to remember why. Then it hit her. "I'm getting married today!"

She quickly got out of bed and stepped into the shower. In record time she was dressed and down the stairs. As she reached the living room she saw Rory and Marty sitting on the couch talking and drinking from Luke's cups.

Before Lorelei could say a word Rory said, "Yours is on the table. And Sookie will be here in 20 minutes."

"Thanks!" Lorelei said heading to the kitchen. As she reached the table she picked up the card that was on it. Inside this was what was written: Lorelei, Good morning, and Happy Wedding Day. I have lots of things to do today so I will see you at the wedding! Below is a list of weather reports for where we are going. Pack at your discretion. Love Luke!

Grabbing the note and cup, she headed back upstairs to pack, and finished just as Sookie rang the doorbell. Lorelei zipped the suitcase and came down the stairs as Rory was making introductions.

"Lorelei!" Sookie squealed.

"Hey!"

"Do you have your dress?"

"Yep right here." Lorelei said. "You guys have fun. Rory please be at the Inn by 12:30."

"Alright, bye mom, bye Sookie. Good luck!"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"So are you excited?" Sookie asked.

"Yeah." Lorelei said getting her hair done.

"When are your parents getting here?"

"Around noon."

"It'll be ok."

"I know, I'm just a little nervous."

"So uh Rory's friend seems nice." Sookie said trying to distract her.

"He is."

"So where are you two going this weekend?"

"I have no clue. Wait I take that back, I know what the weather is like there."

"And…?"

"It's cold."

"That's it?" Sookie asked a little dismayed.

"Yep." The rest of the morning was spent talking about preparations for the upcoming baby and different ways Jackson was finding to baby-proof the house. Before they knew it, it was noon and they headed off to the Inn.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Everything's set?" Lorelei asked.

"Yes, I've checked and double checked." Sookie said, as there was a knock on the door. "Coming." She said waddling over to answer it.

"Hey Sookie, how's she doing?" Rory whispered glancing at her mother who was messing with her makeup.

"Ok I think. No breakdowns yet. I think she's ready for this."

"Me too. So I'm going to check on her, if you could go bring Grandma and Grandpa up in about ten minutes."

"Sure, just keep her calm." Sookie said leaving.

"Hey mom!"

"Hey!"

"How are you doing?"

"Good."

"That's good." Rory said a little uncomfortably.

"You'd better get dressed." Lorelei suggested.

"Yeah, Grandma will be up soon." Rory said.

"Hey are you ok with this?"

"It's a little late to be asking isn't it?"

Lorelei shrugged. "So?"

"I am. Luke is awesome. And you both deserve this. It's just…."

"Just…?"

"It's just a little weird you know? It won't be just the two of us anymore."

"Come here." Lorelei said embracing her daughter. "I will always love you first. And just think about all those years we spent in Luke's shop teasing him and laughing at his antics. Who would have guessed that we'd end up here?"

"I think we all did."

"Yeah…poor Luke. He had no hope." Lorelei said smiling.

"Well I'd better go get ready." Rory said.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

A few minutes later there was another knock on the door. "Come in." Lorelei called. Richard and Emily stepped quietly into the room.

"You look lovely." Emily said.

"Thanks mom."

"We're proud of you." Richard said hugging his daughter. "I'll wait for you at the top of the stairs."

"Thanks." Lorelei said turning to her mother.

"You really do look wonderful." Emily said. All Lorelei could do was nod. "I just wanted you to know that I am happy for you. Luke seems like a great guy, and I can see how much he loves you."

"He does. Thanks mom, it means a lot to hear you say that." Lorelei said giving her mom a hug.

"Yes, well I'll leave you to get ready." Emily said turning to leave.

After Emily had shut the door Rory came out of the bathroom. "Everything ok?" She asked.

"Perfect."

The wedding went off beautifully. Only Marty, Richard, Emily, Sookie, Jackson, and Liz and T.J. were watching from the audience. And of course up front were Lorelei, Luke, Rory and Jess. About an hour after the actual ceremony, the reception began and everyone from Stars Hollow was there to celebrate this auspicious moment in town history.

"Oh Lorelei sweetheart you look absolutely gorgeous." Miss Patty said.

"You look beautiful doll." Babette agreed.

"Thanks you two." Lorelei said scanning the crowd for Luke. But to her dismay could not find him.

"So where are you two headed tonight?" Babette asked.

"Somewhere…"

"Ahh come on you can tell us."

"I'm really not sure." Lorelei said feeling a hand slip around her waist. "There you are. I was wondering where you disappeared to." Lorelei said turning her head to gaze up at her husband.

"Just checking on a few things that's all." Then turning to Lorelei's companions added, "Good evening ladies." Luke greeted.

"Lorelei what have you done to our grumpy Luke?" Miss Patty asked.

"He'll be back on Monday." Lorelei promised.

"Ok we'll see you guys later." Babette said as she and Miss Patty took off for the food.

"Well now that they're gone…would you like to dance with me?" Luke asked.

"I'd love to." Lorelei said linking arms with Luke.

As the glided around the dance floor Luke asked, "Do you remember our first dance?"

"Liz's wedding." Lorelei said with fondness. "I remember how shocked I was that you could dance. In all those years I had known you I'd never seen you dance."

"Well I don't just dance for anyone." Luke said kissing Lorelei on the forehead.

"So what time are we leaving tonight?" Lorelei asked.

"Whenever you want." Luke said. "It's not that far of a drive."

"Is Jess still here?" Lorelei asked.

"Yes, he is staying at the diner and is helping out Caesar for the next couple days."

"Jess is?"

"Yeah he's grown up a lot, he's starting college this next fall."

"Really?"

"Yeah, so I told him that he could help out at the diner to earn some extra cash if he wanted."

"You really have turned into a big softie." Lorelei teased.

"Let's not tell anyone just yet." Luke smiled. "What do you say we get out of here?"

"Works for me."
