Chapter 11- The Wedding!

Rory entered the room where Lorelai had gotten ready.

"Mom! Are you ready?"

"Yep," Lorelai said calmly.

"That's it? You're not nervous?" Rory asked.

"Why would I be nervous?" Lorelai asked, sounding worried.

"All brides are nervous on their wedding day," Rory pointed out. Way to make her nervous, Gilmore, she thought to herself.

"But I'm not nervous! Why aren't I nervous?" Lorelai asked in a panic.

"I don't know!"

"Well now I'm nervous about not being nervous!"

"Alright, just calm down," Rory said soothingly, grabbing her mom by the shoulders. "Take a deep breath. It's you're wedding day. You're marrying Luke. Both very good things. Now, what made you so calm before?"

"I don't know. I just…..was. I was thinking about how I'm marrying the perfect man for me and that I've never been more sure about anything in my life." Rory smiled.

"Good. Focus on that." Rory said as she led Lorelai outside, where the wedding was to be held. There were dozens of white chairs set up on either side of the aisle, lined with daises. At the end of the aisle stood Luke, with Jess at his side. Luke and Lorelai's eyes met, and Lorelai's heart began to pound. Luke was taken aback by how gorgeous his soon-to-be wife looked. Lorelai tore her eyes away from Luke's as a thought suddenly crossed her mind.

"Rory?" Lorelai asked, returning to panic mode as she grabbed her daughter's wrist.

"What? What's wrong?" Rory asked, concerned.

"What if I trip?" Rory almost laughed at this, she expected something more serious.

"I believe that's what I'm here for," said a deep voice from behind them.

"Dad, hi," Lorelai said as she turned to face her father.

"Hello Lorelai. You look lovely. And don't worry. I don't plan on letting you fall," Richard said, giving his daughter a rare hug.

"So, are we ready, ladies?" Richard asked. Both girls nodded. The music began, and Rory began her walk down the aisle. When she reached the end, she turned to watch her mother. Lorelai walked down the aisle successfully on Richard's arm, her eyes locked on Luke's the entire time. As they reached that altar, Lorelai hugged her father again before turning to face Luke, who took her hand in his and smiled. They both turned to face the minister.

"We are gathered here today to witness the joining of Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore in Holy Matrimony," he began, and then continued on with the proceedings. Then it came time for the vows, which Luke and Lorelai had decided to write themselves.

"We all know that I'm not the type to verbalize my feelings. Especially not publicly," Luke began, and Lorelai squeezed his hand supportively. Each was solely focused on the other; both had long forgotten the large crowd watching them. "But it's our wedding day, so I'll give it a shot. Lorelai, I love you. I have always loved you. That's all I need. I know that you're a lot of work," he continued with a small grin, "but I love you for it. I promise to love you always and protect you with all I have until the day I die, no matter what.

"I never really saw myself settling down. I never had that one person I just couldn't live without. Until you walked into my life. I knew since the first day you walked into my diner that you would have an impact on my life. But I never could have imagined that I would be lucky enough to be standing here, today, with you. I know that every day I spend with you will be different, and an adventure. You are crazy, Lorelai Gilmore, but I love you for it, and I wouldn't have any other way." Luke reached out and wiped the tears that had fallen from Lorelai's eyes. They shared a small smile before Lorelai spoke.

"Wow. That's a tough act to follow," she began, drawing a small laugh from the crowd. "Luke, you have been nothing short of amazing for the almost 10 years I've known you. Always ready at a moments notice to pick of the pieces of my shattered life, or Rory's. No matter what I did or said to you, you were always there for me if and when I needed you, and I have no doubt in my mind that that will never change. I love you more then I thought it was possible for a person to love someone. I only wish I had acted on it sooner. You have been my rock for as long as I can remember, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

"I've always been the girl to run away, just when it seemed like my life was perfect. For some reason, I could just never really commit, and I never knew why. But now I know that you are the only man I have ever really loved, and the only man that I ever will love. When I'm with you, in your arms, I feel safe. Like nothing could ever hurt me. Because I know that no matter what, you'll be there." She smiled at Luke, who returned the smile along with a squeeze of her hand. The entire crowd was sniffling.

Moments later, the ceremony came to an end.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Luke swept Lorelai into a deep, loving kiss, something he'd been waiting to do since he'd laid eyes on her, as the guests burst into applause. Lorelai's knees nearly gave out, and she was thankful for Luke's strong arms around her, holding her up. Remembering that they were in front of a crowd, they reluctantly pulled apart. They looked into each other's eyes and smiled, yet again. Now, Luke rarely smiled, and when he did it was usually when he was only with Lorelai. But even Lorelai had never seen Luke's smile as bright and vibrant as it was today. Lorelai's bright blue eyes were lit up like never before.

Rory and Jess stood off to their respective sides, smiling. Well, Rory was smiling. Jess really doesn't ever smile, but today, he came pretty close.

-------------------

Luke and Lorelai began their reception in the square, with their first dance as husband and wife. For the next song, other couples joined in. Richard, Emily, Sookie and Jackson all got up to dance; leaving Jess and Rory alone at the table they were all sharing with Luke and Lorelai.

"So, uh, you wanna dance?" Jess asked awkwardly.

"Yea, sure," Rory accepted, getting up and following Jess to the dance floor. The began dancing, nearly an entire arms length apart, but they soon drifted closer, and Rory tentatively rested her head on Jess's shoulder as he wrapped his arms around more tightly.

"Uh, is this weird now, since we're almost cousins?"

"I don't think so. I mean, we're not blood related or anything. Besides, the girl in Clueless hooked up with her step brother. That's way weirder."

When the song ended, the crowd applauded as the newlyweds, along with the other couples, returned to their tables. After the food was served, Rory stood up and tapped her glass for attention.

"Hi everybody, thanks for coming to the event we've all been waiting years for. I know the best man usually makes the speech, but Jess and I agreed that I would do it.

"I hoped for years that mom and Luke would finally see what the rest of us have seen all along. I've never seen two people who love each other more then they do.

"Luke, for as long as I've known you, you've been amazing to us. You were always ready and willing to drop anything and everything if mom or I needed you. You're our rock, and you that you love my mom more then anything. You must, if you've been able to put up with her this long," Rory joked, and Lorelai stuck her tongue out and her daughter. "I know you would do anything for her; for us. You're the closest thing I've ever had to a real father, and I can't thank you enough for always being there. Sometimes, when I was little, I wished you really were my father. So today, by becoming part of mom's and my family, you're making both of our dreams come true. I love you, dad."

Lorelai wiped a tear from her eye and put her hand over Luke's on his knee. She gave his hand a light squeeze. She swore she heard him sniffle, and turning to look at him, she saw that he, too, had tears in his eyes. Lorelai's heart swelled with love for him ad she turned her attention back to Rory, who was about to continue.

"Mom, you are my everything. You raised me on your own when you yourself were still only a child. But, growing up, you always provided for me. I never didn't have something that I needed. You always made sure I was taken care of. You gave up what should have been the best years of your life for me. Everything you did my entire life was for me. You always put yourself last so that I could have a great life. I'm so glad to see that by sacrificing all that you did, you didn't miss out on finding true love or waste the best years of your life. If anything, all that you did led you to your soul mate, and the best years of you life start today. I would be nothing without you, mom. I love you."

Lorelai was blubbering by this point, and Luke wasn't much better. Neither, for that matter, was the rest of the town. Even Emily was wiping her eyes.

"You know, Luke," Lorelai began after regaining control of herself, "I've seen you cry twice in the past ten years. Both times, you've been brought to tears by sweet, innocent Rory. Our little girl."

"Yea, well, you've got a great kid," Luke said.

"No, Luke, we've got a great kid." Lorelai corrected him.

"Lorelai, you don't have to-,"

"Luke," Lorelai insisted. "You heard Rory. She called you dad. I had nothing to do with that. And besides, I never could have raised Rory without you," she said sincerely.

"Yes, you could've. You'd have still been great."

"Uh, no. First of all, she would've starved to death years ago." Luke laughed, then turned and looked Lorelai deep in the eyes.

"You're amazing, you know," he said softly, tucking a loose curl behind her ear.

"Yea, I've heard that," she joked as she met her husband in a deep kiss

"I love you, Mr. Danes," she told him.

"I love you too, Mrs. Danes."

"I love you more," Lorelai teased.

"Lorelai…" he began warningly.

"What? I do."

"That's not possible." Luke told her.

"Aw, you're sweet."

"I try," Luke joked, kissing his wife again.

TBC or THE END?

Should I do an epilogue or a sequel? I haven't decided which yet. Let me know what you think. Was it good? Too Sappy? I was gonna have Jess and Rory kiss, but I felt like that would've been a little too rushed. So I kept it to dancing.

Please review!

Epilogue? Sequel? What do you think?
