A/N: I was in such a hurry to get out that last chapter that I cut out a lot of Luke and Lorelai's second wedding. So here you go, the full version of Luke and Lorelai's second wedding. I've decided that I'm going to give Audrey the gift to see angels or the spirits of those on the other side.


Chapter 47: The Lost Wedding

A few weeks later the square was packed with the crazy townies, tables, chairs and a huge cake.The entire town had turned out to see Luke and Lorelai renew their vows.

Lorelai, Rory, Audrey, Annie, Laura and Haylee were hiding at Miss Patty's. Luke, Jess, Marty, Jeffy and Matty were at the diner. Little Riley was being watched by Camille and Tarah. Lorelai was wearing a soft purple spring dress. The little girls were in matching white daisy dresses. Annie, Audrey and Rory were wearing soft pink dresses and straw hats. Over at the diner Jess and Marty were trying to keep their sons from removing their ties and getting into the ketchup.

Rev. Skinner watied outside the gazebo. Luke stood alone waiting for his wife. Soft piano music played. Annie and Jess were the first ones to walk down the asile. They each took their spots and waited for the next couple. Marty and Rory walked next. Audrey walked down theaisle by herselfand winked at Ryan as she passed him, in the same fashion that her mother had 20 something years ago. Jeffy and Laura were next. From the looks on their faces you would have honestly thought that they were going to die. Laura had on the eight year old "Eww-he's-touching-me" look on her face.

Haylee absoluetly loved being in the spotlight. She skipped and tossed the flowers around in a silly, four year old way. Matty walked, carrying the pillow with nothing on them with a stern face. He was determined not to trip. He didn't want to mess up Nanna and Grandpa's wedding.

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let melead youfrom your solitude
Say you need me with you, here beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
That's all I ask of you
Sayyou'll share one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me, each night, each morning
Say you love me
You know I do
Love me, that's all I ask of you
Love me that's all I ask of you

Everyone stood as Lorelai walked down the aisle. Luke met her halfway and together they walked to the gazebo.

"I never thought I would ever get the chance to marry these two twice," Rev. Skinner joked. "Luke and Lorelai Danes have been more than just husband and wife these past eighteen years. They have been each other's rock, shelter, solitude, safety. The reason they have been able to stay the way they are is because they were friends first. Best friends. It's nice for me to remember the day they chose, forever, each other. They're family was smaller then. Now who gives their blessing for these two to be married?"

"My sister and I," Rory said.

"My sister and I," Matty and Jeffy said, together.

"My wife and I," Jess and Marty said.

"Luke has a few words for Lorelai," Rev. Skinner said.

Luke reached into his pocket and pulled out a sheet of paper. It was crumpled and torn in places. He began to read from it. "Lorelai, this afternoon I told you to get out of my house before I said or did something I was going to regret. Sadly I did say something I regret. Telling you to leave and watching you drive away tore my heart to shreds. I want you to come home. I'm lying here in our bed staring at your empty pillow. I wish with everything I have that you were next to me. Lorelai, I wrote this the night you left. Many things have changed between us but one thing has not. The way I feel when I'm with you. I love you Lorelai, nothing will ever that. I'm the luckiest man in the entire world."

"Luke," Lorelai answered. "I love you more than anyone else on this earth. You've given me more than I have ever wanted. You gave me two children and more love and devotion that at times I didn't think I deserved. I love you, for now, forever for always."

As her parents were talking Audrey saw a group standing in the trees. A young man dressed in the same suit as her father's was her brother. Seeing her grandparents, allthree of them standing together brought tears to her eyes. Rory nudged her sister, trying to get her to cheer up, this was a happy day. But the sight of her family on the other side watching, gave her hope, happiness and joy.

"Do we have the rings?"

"Yes sir," Luke said taking the ring from Jess. "Lorelai, with this ring I promise to love you, honor you, cherish you more and more until death do us part." He slipped the ring onto her hand, giving it a slight sqeeze.

Lorelai took the ring from Rory and stared into Luke's eyes. "Lucas, with this ring, I promise to love you, honor you, cherish you more and more until death do us part." She slipped the ring onto his hand intertwining her fingers into his.

"It gives me great pleasure to once again introduce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Backwards Baseball Cap. Luke you may kiss your bride."

"No kiss!" Matty excalimed suddenly.

Lorelai and Luke looked at their grandchild and then to their grandchild's parents. Rory shook her head and tried not to laugh. Marty covered his sons eyes while Luke gathered Lorelai into his arms kissing her deeply and with more love than he had ever before.

The reception was a blast. DJ Lane played a good mix of new favorites and age old standbys. People dancedm ate, drank, and had fun. Audrey and Ryan barely noticed anyone else. Tarah had told her that while she had been on suspension Ryan had been miserable with a capital M.

"So what's going on with you and Andie?" he asked. "You guys haven't been fighting as much as you used to."

"She helped me on matter and that's all you need to know."
