A/N: I know very little about weddings, so I don't yell at me if it's not the proper ceremony.
"What?" Lorelei couldn't move. She was in a complete state of shock.
"Tristan, what are you talking about?" His parents asked. "We've been planning a wedding for a month now in Hartford. This is so typical of you, you never care about what's best for you."
"Lorelei, you can't be serious. This is not the proper way for this to be done, we've already made a guest list." Emily harped from behind her.
"Rory, are you sure you want to do this now? I mean,"
"HEY!" Tristan shouted from the stage. The entire place fell silent. "Thank you. Now, I know that this isn't what you may have planned out for either of us, but this is what we want. So." He turned to his parents. "If you want to stay and watch your only son get married, I would appreciate it, but no one is keeping you here." He turned to Emily and Richard. "If you disagree with what Rory and I want, then you are more than welcome to leave. However, if you are to stay, you must at least pretend to be happy for us. Now," he said with a huge smile on his face "I'm going to marry the girl of my dreams and no one is going to say or do anything to ruin this for either of us. Understood?" Not a sound escaped from the crowd. "Ok." He winked at Rory and took his place on the gazebo. "We're ready when you are Reverend."
"I'm not ready to give you away." Lorelei said with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, you aren't giving me away, you are walking down a candle lit runway and then you are sitting down. Pretend you are on America's Next Top Model. It will be fun."
"Promise?"
"I promise, nothing is going to change. It's going to be like it has been all summer."
"I'm holding you to that." She said. "The number of movie nights that we will have to have to make up for this is staggering."
"Ok. Are you ready?"
"You're the one getting married and you have to comfort me. There is something so wrong with this situation."
"I'm taking that as a yes." She nodded to the piano player and he started to play. Rory took the first step and then Lorelei followed. Slowly but surely they made their way up to the front of the aisle.
"You break her heart, I break you. Remember?" Lorelei said through her tears.
"I remember. A promise is a promise." He said as he took Rory's hand. Lorelei sat down and was immediately comforted by Luke, but she reached out for Christopher's hand. He grabbed it and held it tight.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the love of Tristan and Rory." Rory and Tristan never broke eye contact throughout the entire speech.
"I love you," Rory whispered.
"I love you too." Tristan whispered back.
"Tristan and Rory have chosen to write their own vows. We will start with Tristan."
"You're the writer so I'm just going to keep this short." Rory smiled. "Ror, you are my everything, and everyday I find another reason to fall in love with you. I could stand up here and talk forever about why I love you and the amazing things that you have done in my life and yet there are no words to explain how much I love you." Rory was crying freely now, which in turn made him tear up. "Stop crying, so I can get through this." He joked as he wiped his eyes and the crowd laughed. "Life with you will never be boring, and I look forward to sharing every adventure that life throws our way, for better or worse. I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled as she wiped her eyes. "My turn," she said as she handed her bouquet to her mother. She took out a sheet of paper.
"I made a list," She said with a wink and everyone laughed. "of everything I love about you. For example, I love the way you slip into a southern drawl whenever you get done talking to someone from North Carolina. I love the way your hair looks when you wake up in the morning. I love how you give me any section of the paper I want even when you haven't finished reading the article. I love the way you still manage to keep me on my toes and push every single one of my buttons. Just to name a few. Mostly, I love the way you make me feel. You are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me and I can't even imagine my life without you in it." Tristan smiled.
"Tristan, do you take this woman to be your wife?"
"I do."
"Rory, do you take this man to be your husband?"
"I do."
"May we have the rings?" Noah handed the rings over to Tristan. "Tristan, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring, I thee wed." He said as he slipped his grandmother's ring on her finger.
"Rory, repeat after me, With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring, I thee wed." She said as she placed Janlan's ring on Tristan's finger.
"Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Everyone stood and clapped as Tristan and Rory kissed.
"Oh my God, we actually did it." Rory said as they pulled apart.
"Come on Mary, let's go for a walk." He said with a smirk.
The music started again as they walked down the aisle together hand in hand, ready to face the world.
A/N: I know I know….Really cheesy right? I couldn't help it. I hope it's Gouda and not squirt can cheese.
