Thanks for the Reviews! I'm so glad you guys liked it.
They were sitting on the couch in a comfortable silence, but that would not last long because they were never out of words. Angry words, comfortable words, teasing words, psychotic words, gentle words…they were not just words they were a way they could express themselves, and a way to tell the world how lucky they were to have each other.
Both were thinking of two little words that would change their life forever: I do. A wedding was something they both wanted, or what is it? How much would change? Would they change? What would the wedding look like? Who would show up?
Well, of course the whole town would show up, but Luke had someone else on his mind.
"Lorelai?"
Lorelai looked up at him "Hmmm?"
"Have you decided who you are going to invite for our wedding?"
Smiling Lorelai started "Sookie, Jackson, Babbett, Miss Patty, and of course Rory-"
"Lorelai the whole town would be there even if they weren't invited. I mean who are you going to invite from your family?"
"Well…"she paused and thought about it. "I'll invite my dad."
"What about your mom?" he asked
"No. The nerve of her. That was the last straw. I just don't want to deal with her, and beside she'll make my wedding feel like a funeral."
"Look, I know you're mad, but really think about it. You'll regret-" He looked up and saw that she made up her mind. He knew well enough to know that when her mind is made up it is made up. It's not because he wanted Emily there, on the contrary he hated her. That woman put Lorelai through so much hell, especially with her meddling with their relationship.
"Luke,"Lorelai softly called for his attention, "I'm thinking of asking Mia to give me away. What do you think?"
Luke loved the idea. Mia was a 'classy broad' as Miss Patty affectionately called her, and she would be the ideal choice.
"That's a good idea."
20th of December
Lorelai turned to Rory "That's it. This is the last invitation. Phew."
"Mom, I can't believe you're going to be married in three months!" exclaimed Rory as she settled back into the couch.
With sparkling eyes Lorelai giggled and added "I can't believe we lucked out and found the perfect dress!"
"Mom, you're idea is so perfect." Rory scooted towards her mother and looked out to the distance and motioned with her arm for emphasis "Imagine: everything is white and you come out with a gorgeous pink dress! It's just perfect!"
Lorelai smiled in contentment. She was sure this time. Luke was it. They were it.
Now all she had to do was organize the gala, and mail the invitations. She was as excited as Rory been. Her idea was great! Rory found a great flower store that was going to provide white orchids for the wedding. Sookie was making food and a snow white cake with a bride wearing a pink dress. While Miss Patty busied herself in choreographing Kirk's walk, who bragged how he was picked to be the flower 'boy'.
Rising to her feet Lorelai turned to Rory, "Rory, I'm going to go and rest a while."
With that she walked to her room and with a backward glance she made sure Rory was not behind her. Quickly, Lorelai locked her room, and got out her wedding dress. Slowly and carefully she put it on. Putting on a pink veil, made especially for her, via herself, she stood in front of the mirror and immediately felt Luke's strong arms around her waist that sent shiver down her spine and she could almost feel his breath as he whispered "You're beautiful."
She didn't know how long she stood there, but reluctantly she put away her dress, and lay down on her bed. And thought about how she was going to deal with her mother's complaints of not being invited to the wedding. Lorelai could not explain it but she did not want her mother at her wedding. It was like as if she could not understand why she was so different from her parents, or why she was addicted to coffee. It was weird, but she felt closer to her father, who hardly paid attention to her. Her mother, on the other hand, always tried to get into her business. Telling her to do this and to do that. Don't be friends with that girl or don't wear that people would look down on you! Maybe this was her way of getting back to her mother, showing her how much she was not needed.
Suddenly, she heard a click and saw Luke in the doorway. He looked at her face, and saw the concentration of her thoughts. He then, lay down, next to her, and scooped her up. She fit him like a missing puzzle in his life. She was that one little jagged piece in his life's puzzle that was missing.
Please Review. I want to hear some ideas!
