I Guess I Gotta Do Some Work Chapter 9: Happily Ever After, a gilmore girls fanfic

Chapter Eight of I Guess I Gotta Do Some Work-

A/n- The wedding- need I say more?

Loreali could hardly believe this day had come. Her wedding. If she had been asked last week if she thought she would ever get married her answer would have probably have been no.

Her dress fit perfectly, like a perfect white glove. She was standing in Ms. Patty's, await Rory to signal her to get ready to end her days as a single woman. Her make up was perfect, she concluded, after one finally check in the mirror. Almost there… you are almost married! She could hardly wait.

This was defiantly not the feeling she had with Max. Right now, she felt calm and at peace and ready to get on with her life. With Max, it had been nerve racking. She was nervous for days, she couldn't eat, it was so hard. But this… this was so easy. She had absolutely no doubts al all. None. And that was a lot for Loreali Gilmore… no Loreali Danes.

She was shaken from her daydream by none other than her daughter. Rory came across to her mother and gave her a big hug. Unable to believe that her mother was finally going to get their… no her happy ending. Okay, it was a happy ending for her too. And it was amazing.

"Hey Mom? You ready to get married?"

"Definitely Babe."

A few minutes earlier in the square…

Luke was amazed at everything before his eyes. The flowers were beautiful. The guest were all well behaved, Jess was here, his sister was here, and he is getting married.

He could see Emily Gilmore walk into the square and sit down with her chin up in the air. He could see Buddy and Maisy in the talking to everybody. And he also saw Taylor, Babbette, and Morey. Everybody had wide smiles on their faces. Everything was perfect.

Loreali and Rory began to walk towards the square. They could see the beautiful setting of flowers and beloved guests.

"You ready?" Rory asked.

"Yeah" Loreali responded with smile that you could see a million miles a way.

"I will go tell the piano man."

"Give Morey my love!"

"Yep!"

Loreali waited patiently for the bride's maids to walk down the isle. Richard came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and smiled at her father.

"Dad, thank you for coming."

"Of course, Loreali, we wouldn't miss it for the world. Now we better be prompt, you are getting married."

Loreali smiled and they walked over to the isle. The wedding march began to play. Sookie, Lane, Rory, and Jess had already processed up the isle and it was now her turn. As they began to walk up the isle, Richard began to whisper one phrase to her that meant more to her than anything in the world.

"I am proud of you Loreali. I love You."

Loreali was amazed that her father uttered those few words to her. Her life just became more amazing that imaginable.

"Thank you Dad." She whispered back at him. She was now on the verge of tears.

Once they got to the front of the isle where Luke was, she saw Kirk in a black robe.

"Kirk, what are you?"

"I am your minister."

"You are ordained yes, Now can we get back to the ceremony? Thank you. Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"

Richard responded, "I do." He kissed Loreali on the cheek and went to sit down with his wife.

Luke and Loreali smiled at each other and they stepped towards Kirk. Luke had no idea why Kirk was marrying them but he resisted getting mad, and he just smiled.

"We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Loreali Gilmore and Lucas Danes in holy matrimony. Loreali, would you like to tell Luke how you feel?"(from TJ and Liz's wedding)

"Yes, Those who know me know that I love movies. I like to think of my life as a movie. My life so far has been a variety of genres so far. Adventure, romance, some angst, tragedy, and even some suspense sometimes. I have always gone through my life unknowing and basically blind. But now my life's genre has changed once again. It has become what's known as a happily ever after ending. I am so happy I am here today. No matter how many times I screwed up, Luke was always there to get me out my jam. Never failing reliability. It is what made me fall in love with him so deeply, so fully. And that is what makes me know that I will always be protected no matter where I go no matter what I do. It is an amazing feeling. And I am so grateful I that I am one of the few people that has found this, this type of love. I love you so much." Loreali was in tears and Luke was too.

"Luke would you like to do the same?"

"Yes, When my mother died and then finally my father died, I felt like I was totally alone. I began to believe that I only had myself to turn to. But one day about eight years ago, I began to realize that no body can choose when they go and pass on, but we can do one thing. We can choose how we live. Loreali Gilmore taught me that. She truly taught me how to live and love. And I own it all to you. I love you."

"Thank you, now Luke repeat after me. I, Lucas Danes, take you, Loreali Gilmore."

"I, Lucas Danes, take you, Loreali Gilmore."

"To be my wedded wife."

"To be my wedded wife." Luke repeated.

"To have and to hold, from this day forward."

"For better, for worse."

"For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."

"To love and to cherish."

"Till death do us part."

"Now Loreali, repeat after me. I, Loreali Gilmore, take you, Lucas Danes."

"I, Loreali Gilmore, take you, Lucas Danes."

"To be my wedded husband,"

"To be my wedded husband," Loreali repeated.

"To have and to hold, from this day forward."

"For better, for worse."

"For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."

"To love and to cherish."

"Till death do us part."

The couple smiled at each other. "May I have the rings?" Kirk asked them.

"Now repeat after me Luke. With this ring I thee wed,"

"With this ring I thee wed," Luke said as he slide the ring on to his finger.

"Loreali, the same."

"With this ring I thee wed," Loreali said as she slide the ring on to her finger, and she smiled.

"Do you take this woman?"

"I do."

"Do you take this man?"

"Hell yeah!" Kirk glared at her profanity.

"Loreali, come on this is a sacred ceremony!" Kirk wined.

"I am sorry. I do." She smiled.

""I now pronounce you husband and wife. What God has joined together let no man put asunder. You make kiss the bride."

"Finally," they both said in unison. And they kissed. Finally together, and finally happy.

Yay! They are finally together! Everyone applause! Next jess and Rory talk, and Luke and Loreali join in a dance and get to enjoy their Happy ending.
