Okay, okay, okay.
I'm sorry! Alright? I admit it! Not updating in nearly two weeks is just wrong! I'll go sit in the corner now...
But-you guys WILL be happy when you read this chapter! I PROMISE! 0:)
Why? Why would I update on such a SAD DAY? You ask?
BECAUSE IT'S LUKE AND LORELAI'S WEDDING!
No-not on the show/real life!
In the story! That's the only thing I own, anyways.
...You're excited now aren't you?
You can't wait to read this now?
You want me to stop talking so you can just read it?
I knew it.
But anyways-here's something that will hopefully cheer all of you up!
If you're like me, spending the day wallowing, that is. Yes-wallowing, complete with all of my L&L episodes on my computer, a special June 3rd background I made, and my two new best friends-Ben and Jerry. I know-old joke.
Okay-okay, shutting up so that you can all just read already. I get it.
I know when I am not wanted...
Yup...shutting up...right about...now...going to be quiet...now. This is me being quiet...
THE FOLLOWING SEPTEMBER 4th.
Rory Gilmore slowly creaked open the door to room #7 at the Dragonfly. She couldn't believe the sight before her.
Her mother-in her wedding dress, complete tiara. (Her grandmother's selection of course.) She was standing in front of one of those huge 3-way mirrors. Strapless, slim with fake flowers on the side and a ribbon around the waist, this dress was perfect.
"Mom..." Rory started, but couldn't quite get the words out.
"Do you think the tiara's a little too much?" she asked genuinely as she turned around to face her only offspring.
"Mom!"
"No, but, the way it's on my head? It looks like my head is about to explo-" Lorelai gestured her head blowing up.
"MOM!" Rory yelled.
"What?" Lorelai responded innocently.
"You're getting married!" Rory replied tearfully. She walked over to her mom, and gave her one last hug before she was a married woman. "Come on! We're going to be late!" She grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the door, making sure she didn't step on her powder-blue, maid of honor dress.
"Wait!"
"What? No. Mom, you're not having second thoughts are you? You can't! This is Luke! There is no one more perfect out there for you. You can't run away, I won't allow it, young lady!" Rory babbled.
"Rory?"
"Yes?"
"I need to get my other shoe." She held up the end of her dress to reveal her bare right foot.
"Hey, Lane?" Lorelai asked as she snuck away from Rory.
"Yeah...? Oh! Lorelai! You look amazing!"
"Thanks, but listen. Since you're dj-ing the reception, could you play this for me?" she slipped her a clearly burned cd.
"Okay...sure? When do you want me to play it?"
"It's kind of a surprise for Luke, you'll know when."
"Alright, now go get married!" Lane encouraged her, remembering that a certain-diner-owner slipped her an identical cd yesterday...
Lorelai and Rory waited at the doorway of the Dragonfly for the ceremony to begin.
"Hey, kid?"
"Yeah?"
"You got the thing, right?" She said with a smile.
"It's in the bouquet."
"Then let's do this thing!"
Before she knew it, Rory, Sookie, and Lane were already up the aisle.
Before she knew it, she was walking up the aisle.
THE aisle.
She was currently walking up the aisle.
Lorelai Gilmore-soon-to-be-Danes was being escorted up the Big Kahuna of all aisles.
And before she knew it, her father released her arm, and put her hand in Luke's.
And before she knew it, she was getting married, because the minister began talking.
"Dearly beloved..."
She was getting married!
Right there, right now.
She tried extremely hard to not to giggle. Being serious was hard.
And it certainly wasn't helping that Luke was unable to take his eyes off her, but then he put on his this-is-our-wedding-day-stop-being-so-funny-and-pay-attention-because-this-is-certianly-not-happening-again face.
But then again, she was staring right back.
Funny how reality slaps right back in.
And before she knew it, those famous words were being said: "If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace." Lorelai bit her lip, and glanced in the audience sitting on white chairs on the lawn of the Dragonfly. She quickly scanned the room and noticed that-
Holy schickels! Her mother wasn't about to jump up in an outrage! She was...dabbing her eyes with a handkerchief!
Her mother-Emily Gilmore, her slave-driver mother with many nicknames relating to world dictators, the manipulative, back-stabbing, guilt-tripping... -was crying at her wedding!
Nor, did she see Chris about to get into some fit about how this was a big mistake and that they belong together.
Or a Max, or Jason, or Nicole or Rachel or...Kirk.
But she did see Rory standing beside her, trying to not tear up, along with Lane in her light green dress. And an already blubbering Sookie in a light purple bridesmaid dress.
But then she realized she forgot something.
"Oh shoot! Hold on a sec!" Lorelai sputtered out, snapped her fingers, and turned to Rory. She heard gasps and whispers coming from the audience, and it would only be a matter of seconds until her mothe-
"LORELAI GILMORE!" Oh yeah, her mother was standing up, yelling at her, while she was at the altar. She figured that this would be a good time to explain.
"Oh! No! No, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no! I am not bolting, everyone! I'm not that pathetic! Just, gimme a sec..." Out of Rory's bouquet, she pulled out something pink, pulled the tiara off her own head, put it on her daughter's-just for laughs-and put the foreign object on her head.
It was a pink baseball cap. And she had it on backwards.
The towns-people let out a laugh.
And on the front of the baseball cap was a few symbols: 'I ♥LD (my GC)' that only Luke could see.
"Let us proceed then." The minister said.
"Lucas William Danes, do you take Lorelai Victoria Gilmore to be your lawful wedded wife? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
Never taking his eyes off Lorelai's he let a smile escape his lips, and slowly said, "I do." Lorelai's smile grew wider.
"And do you, Lorelai Victoria Gilmore take Lucas William Danes to be your lawf..."
Lorelai, being...Lorelai, didn't hear the rest of the minister's little speech, but was far too fixed on the fact that she was getting married. The would-be-spinster-for-life, Lorelai 'I'm sorry, can I get an industrial-forklift for my emotional baggage?' Gilmore was marrying Luke 'Duke the Diner Owner, Flannel Wearing Man' Danes.
Dude, all that was missing now was Timmy and Scruffy and a minivan!
Well...maybe not the minivan.
And despite her spacing out, she didn't pause nor hesitate when she said, "I do." And the entire crowd exhaled rather loudly.
Crazy town!
And yet, she seemed to not be messing up during her wedding.
Okay, and so she didn't cry that much when the ring was slipped on her finger.
"And now by the power vested in me by the State of Connecticut, I know-finally-pronounce you husband and wife...Luke, you may ki-Oh, okay."
The minister was stopped short when he noticed that the newly-weds were already one step ahead of them. They just couldn't hold it in any longer-and what was half a syllable anyways? Did it really make that much of a difference?
The crowd burst out laughing and clapping as Luke and Lorelai broke apart from their first kiss as a married couple.
There was probably not a dry-eye out there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I now finally present to you Mr. and Mrs. Danes!"
Inside the inn, making their way to the tent out back, the couple couldn't have been happier. And the first thing that was said was, "We're married, George!"
Now, since the ceremony was over, it was time to par-tay-Stars Hollow style!
The crowd had beaten them to the tent, (because the couple had to stop for 'obvious' reasons...wink wink) and was ready to face the town.
"Oh! Here they come! Here they come!" They heard Patty shout. A crowd of people, including Patty, Babette, Rory, Lane, Sookie, her parents, Kirk (who had a camera) and other various townies.
"Oh my God, you guys are married!" Rory cried and hugged her mom and her now-step-dad.
"I never thought we'd live the see the day! Taylor thought that all 4 of the Beatles were gonna get back together before you two tied the knot! Speaking of which...Taylor owes me 50 bucks! Where is that bastard?" Babette scanned the crowd, and saw Taylor measuring the height of the tent. "Excuse me for a moment." And on that note-she ran off in the direction of Taylor.
"Oh my gosh! You're married, Lorelai! We're both Sadies! Oh, you're not going to die alone!" Sookie said as she bounced up and down.
"Calm down, Sookie. We still get to party for the rest of the day! Come on!" She grabbed her hubby's hand and entered the tent.
Wow, Sookie, her mother, and the planning team really had out-done themselves. Tables were decorated with white, the food looked amazing, and everyone was so happy-except Kirk who was upset that he couldn't jump out of the cake.
It was clearly the perfect wedding.
About 5 or so minutes later, Lane heard Luke call her over.
"Lane...it's time." Luke wasn't the best at using 'spy code.'
"Alright! I'm gone!" She began to run over to her DJ booth, since the current song was ending, but was abruptly stopped by Lorelai, escaping from a crowd of women.
"Lane! The chicken is in the coop!"
"What!"
"Don't you know spy code? Go play the cd!" She said quickly as her hubby made his way over to her.
"Okay! I'm going!" When she finally got there she turned on the mic. "Okay everyone! I have a little story to tell. See, yesterday, I was approached by Luke, who gave me a cd and told me to play it today, and ironically enough, today Lorelai also gave me a burned cd with the same instructions. Now, they both just told me to play them an-...well, let's see what happens!" She hit the 'play' button, and suddenly a very familiar song came on.
The song.
Their song.
"Luke...you remembered?" Lorelai asked, some-what tearful.
"Well, you know...that song is on the radio every 10 minutes and...you made such a big deal about it on our-yeah, I remembered. Jeez." Luke turned red again.
"Come on! This is our song!" She pulled him onto the dance floor.
The guests sighed and watched as the new married couple had their first dance together. It was slow, romantic, and like on their first date. And even though there was about 300 people watching them, it was like they were the only 2 people in the world.
The rest of the wedding went by normally, they danced, they ate, they smashed cake at each other's faces, and they all laughed at Kirk because he fell in the pond trying to act like a paparazzi. Soon the evening was coming to a close, and the couple was about to leave for their honeymoon.
In the car, Luke and Lorelai couldn't keep their hands off of each other. But, Lorelai was the one to break the activities.
"Hey, Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"We're married."
Wow, that was probably terrible.
I haven't been to a wedding in a while, so I don't remember everything.
Lemme know if something was missing/was flat-out bad.
I like to be fully aware of my stupidity.
Anyways...HAPPY JUNE 3RD!
Review! You KNOW you want to!
