A/N – Yea, I'm updating more frequently! Yippee! So I said last time only two or three chapters, well I think I lied. I don't know really. Oh, I forgot to clarify, Jess and Rory dated for a month somewhere in between Dean (hehe). Jess really loved her, but Rory wanted to be friends. It's another Tristan world… I probably won't update next week, ELA's SUCK! Or the next week (Health exams, and State SCIENCE TESTS SUCK!) So, hang in people. And next week is my birthday. January 13 is the best day to have a birthday on. Orlando Bloom agrees with me. So enjoy the Luke and Lorelai wedding!!!
Chapter 9- My Best Friend's wedding and the Ex-Boyfriends are Crashing
After a long debate, all problems were solved. Rory and Sookie are the maid and matron of honor. Luke would be moving in with Lorelai. They would have kids if 'it' came about. Sookie was also making the food. And, much to Rory's dismay, Jess was the best man. Although, there was a good catch, Tristan could walk Rory down the aisle, and take his seat in the front. Jess would walk up with his new love interest, Tina, and Tina was going to go sit in the audience. Jess would take his place next to Luke. Lorelai had everything planned out to the max. Seating arrangements, the menu, her dress, the bridesmaids' dresses, the flowers, and everything. But, they had no flower girl or ring bearer. Luke had no more nieces and nephews other then Jess, and neither did Lorelai. Tristan offered to let his little brother, Evan, do the job. Lorelai agreed, but they still had no flower girl. Lorelai tried everyone, and then decided to let Sookie's niece, Ally, throw the petals. Lorelai could finally relax.
Rory on the other hand, hasn't relaxed in over two months. Why her mother picked a date as soon as April 9th was beyond her. Rory was trying to think of what to say to Jess. 'Hey, sorry I'm not your soul mate' probably wouldn't cut it. And now that she's dating Tristan, whom Jess knows all about, Rory will definitely not get a peep out of Jess. They would pose for a couple of picture for memory, but that's about it. But, Lorelai completely forgot that when she invited the entire town, Dean was part of that town. So, she was faced with two ex-boyfriends. At least she had Tristan. Plus, this wedding was not about her, this was about her mom and Luke getting married.
Rory was finishing up a philosophy paper when her cell phone rang. "Hello?" Rory answered.
"Rory?" a voice asked.
"Dad?" Rory asked.
"Yea, it's me." Christopher replied.
"Oh, hi. What's up?" Rory shifted ears.
"Nothing, uh, I just wanted to tell you I'll see you at the wedding." Christopher informed her.
"What?!" Rory exclaimed.
"I heard from Emily, or your grandmother." Christopher said calmly but smugly.
"We didn't invite you!" Rory exclaimed. "It's not right for the bride's ex-boyfriend to be there!"
"It's an open invite. Besides the mother of my daughter, is getting married. I should be there. See you in two weeks." Christopher hung up.
Rory 'grr-ed' in frustration. Great, Rory thought, it's my best friend's wedding, and the ex-boyfriends are crashing. Rory was debating whether to tell Lorelai. She wasn't sure who to ask for advice. Rory decided she needed to go to Stars Hollow right away.
Rory was standing on Sookie's porch, and took in her surroundings. The snow no longer took over the green blades, but soft dew. She had seen many of her Stars Hollow Neighbors planting delicate buds, in hope they would sprout in May.
Sookie opened the door with one hand, the other holding Davey on her hip. Rory felt warmth as soon as Sookie opened the door, for the spring air was a bit chilly. "Rory, Hun, was I expecting you? 'Cause honestly I've been really forgetful lately."
"No Sookie. Um, can I come in?" Rory asked.
"Of course. Ooh, is it secret wedding business?" Sookie giggled.
"Eh, kind of." Rory replied as she stepped into Sookie's sitting room.
"Oh, just let me give Davey to Jackson and I'll be right back." Sookie walked into her kitchen and up the stairs.
Rory waited patiently and Sookie came in a few minutes later with a plate full of strawberry tarts in hand. Sookie sat down next to Rory. "Ok Hun, spill."
"We have an, uh, slight problem. My dad's coming." Rory sighed.
"Chris?" Sookie asked and Rory nodded. "Ah, geez."
"Yea and he found out from my grandmother! I think this is the only time I've been mad at her! And he said, 'Oh its an open invite.' Yea, to people we actually WANT there! And 'the mother of my daughter is getting married. I should be there.' Well that's bull! And he hangs up with 'See you in a few weeks.' ARGH!!!!!" Rory was now pacing.
Sookie stood up and gripped Rory shoulders. "Ok sweetie sit, and breathe." Rory inhaled deeply and sat down.
"The problem is should I tell my mom?" Rory wondered.
"Honestly, no. Lorelai wants this day to be perfect, and she has too much to worry about now, and Christopher would just be an add-on. Listen, you need to call your dad and talk to him." Sookie said.
"Thanks, well, I'll be going now." Rory smiled.
"Bye Hun." Sookie waved. Rory took her leave and drove back. She slammed her door and flipped out her phone, dialing madly.
"Hello?" Christopher answered.
"Dad? Hi it's me, Rory, your daughter. Yea, anyway, this whole wedding thing? You better not mess this up. Mom is extremely happy, and if you do one single thing wrong, even knock over someone's flowers, I will post your head on a mantle, for all others who try and ruin my mother's life. Capece?" Rory informed him.
"Rory, I will be a perfect gentleman at the wedding." Christopher replied. "Good-bye."
"To the left… no left. Ok sorry, my left, your right." Lorelai was instructing people around her, decorating the gazebo.
"Lorelai! You are not supposed to be here! You are supposed to be primping and coiffing. I am taking care of this doll." Babette informed her.
"But-" Lorelai began.
"Go! Go on, shoo!" Babette exclaimed.
"Going." Lorelai said and she slumped back to her house.
"Aww, who sent you home this time?" Rory asked, brushing away a stray strand of hair.
"Babette." Lorelai frowned. "I'm afraid to leave my wedding in their hands. I just keep picturing Miss Patty and Babette laying on a piano, singing to the nearest 21 year old male."
"They promised." Rory pointed out. "Although that is a very funny picture."
"Hey!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Now, you're wedding is in two hours. Go get ready." Rory pointed. Lorelai huffed over to the beautiful gown neatly ready and pressed on her bed. It was a strapless gown. The top was form-fitting and sparkly; the rest was free-flow.
She slipped on the dress, and looked in the mirror. This time, she wanted to try on the dress for a month and a half. Lorelai had her hair done in a twist of messy ringlets. Emily wanted a professional makeup artist, but both Lorelai and Rory refused. Lorelai did her makeup as smoky eyes, and a deep pink lipstick.
Rory yelled for Lorelai to come down. So, Lorelai took one more glance in the mirror, slipped on her shoes, and gracefully went down the stairs. Emily smiled at her daughter's beauty. Rory rushed up to her mom. "God you look gorgeous."
"I told you our weekly pretty stick treatments would pay off." Lorelai joked. "And what about you? You look absolutely amazing!"
"Thanks but we need to head over to the gazebo. Miss Patty said guests are starting to arrive." Rory gave her mom's arm a little squeeze, and Lane came out of Rory's room in a very similar outfit to Rory's. They were both lavender, but Rory's was spaghetti strapped, and the top was lacy. Lane's was one strapped, and had a rose in a corner. Sookie's was exactly like Lane's.
They all walked slowly and cautiously to the gazebo. Rory saw her dad sitting in the back corner. Rory shot him a warning look, and he just smiled.
Rory breathed in deeply and felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist. Rory smiled and leaned back. "You're going to crinkle my dress."
"I'm getting you out of it soon, anyway." Tristan grinned.
"Perv, please let me get through this wedding without laughing, no faces!" Rory scolded Tristan.
"I would never do such a thing." Rory smacked him. "Ok, ok, I'll be the perfect boyfriend. Besides, Lorelai is like my mom, and it's like my mom's wedding."
"Good." Rory smiled. "Oh hey grandpa." Richard came over and gave his granddaughter a kiss on the cheek.
"Hello Rory, Tristan. We're beginning to line up. We need to get in order now."
Rory gave Tristan a quick hug and lined up behind Sookie and Jackson. The flower girl and ring bearer went up first, then Lane and Zach, Jess and Tina, Sookie and Jackson, and finally Rory and Tristan. Tristan kissed Rory's temple, and took his seat up front. Then all eyes were on Lorelai and Richard as they walked up the aisle, and they all stood up. Luke gazed at the beauty before him, and never hesitated a moment with her.
Christopher promised he would be good, so he clenched his fists by his side. Rory did her part, and all the while glanced at her father occasionally.
Rory smiled as the priest said. "You may kiss the bride." Luke kissed Lorelai; if Luke let her, Lorelai would have skipped back down the aisle.
"Reception's at five!" Lorelai shouted half way down. "At Miss Patty's!" Little did they know, Christopher was skulking in the corner. Three hours until his moment to pounce.
A/N Heehee, that was evil I know, I know. The next chapter is the reception. It may be shorter then the rest, but I don't know yet. If any of you have any ideas feel free to email me, or put it in a review. Whatever your choice, if you have an idea, go ahead and tell me. I will try and work it in. Tata for now folks!
