After the wedding, Tristan and Rory ran over to the diner while they set up for the reception. It was quiet there and they could get some perspective on what just happened.
"I almost thought it wasn't going to happen." Rory said.
"Why did you think that?" he frowned at her.
"I mean, our way. When I saw the look on my mom's face, I thought it wasn't going to happen."
"She doesn't want to lose you, and who could blame her?" He said as he kissed her. Rory let out a soft sigh as his lips traveled up her jawbone and behind her ear.
"Hey," she giggled. "I think we forgot something."
"Hmm?" He said still kissing her, this time slipping lower to cover her neck and collarbone.
"Where are we going for our honeymoon?"
"London," he said as he kissed her. " Or Paris. Maybe somewhere warm. You name it, we're there." He paused only to look into her eyes.
"Italy." She said as a smile spread across her face.
"Italy it is then." He said making her wish come true. He was glad to have enough money to support her, and he loved spoiling her.
"Come on, they're done setting up now." She said as she pulled away.
"They can't wait?" She shook her head and started walking backwards to the door. His hands still in hers.
"Italy, you and me, with nothing to do. Doesn't that sound nice."
"Nice isn't the word I would use to describe it." He said with a smirk.
OOOOO
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to thank you all for being so cooperative tonight. I know we flew a lot of surprises at you and you have been lovely. Now for the first time, I would like to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Tristan and Rory DuGray!" The crowd cheered and they walked back out. "And now, for the first dance." Tristan and Rory looked at each other and started laughing as the music began to play. Their song was 'It had to be you' by Frank Sinatra. It was perfect. Rory leaned her cheek against his and let everything soak in.
"It had to be you." He whispered in her ear, sending chills down her spine. As the song ended, everyone came out onto the dance floor.
"At this point, do you think they would notice if we left?" she asked as she wrapped her arms tighter around Tristan. He shrugged.
"Maybe after a couple of them get smashed."
"This was by far, the best wedding I've ever been to." Rory giggled, unable to contain her joy.
"I would have to agree." Tristan said as he spun her around.
"May I cut in?" Noah asked as he danced by with Lorelei.
"By all means, go ahead." Tristan said, taking Lorelei in his arms.
"I'm sorry we surprised you like that. I thought that Rory should tell you, but she wanted to keep it a secret."
"It's ok. I understand why you did it. It was a nice wedding."
"Yeah it was. It really meant a lot to Rory that you were supportive of this decision. She wouldn't have gone through with it if you weren't ok with it."
"That's not true. Look at her, she loves you." Lorelei said with a smile on her face. "Besides, this way I don't have to deal with my mother's incessant calling about colors and china patterns."
"Yeah, but she loves you more. She told me that if you weren't ok, we would have to go through with the Hartford wedding."
"Yes. Well, the two of you are up for some major Hartford drama. When did you decide to pull this off anyway?"
"At Noah and Laura's wedding. We just wanted something simple and laid back that all of our family and friends could be at. We didn't want the whole society wedding, especially after all the drama at the beginning of the summer, it just didn't feel right. We figured a surprise wedding was better than eloping."
"I guess so. So where are you two going for your honeymoon?" He dipped her and said.
"Italy." She stood back up and looked at him.
"Really? So you guys really have planned this all out. I'm impressed."
"Do you honestly think that Rory would have it any other way? She is not a spur of the moment kind of person."
"Ah that's not true, how do you think she fell in love with you?" Lorelei teased. "But I have to ask, what are you guys doing when the summer is over? You both have to finish school, are you keeping your apartment in the city?"
"We're doing the long distance thing. As much as I hate to think about it, it's probably for the best. I'm graduating in December and then I'll come back and work in the city. When Rory graduates, we'll take it from there."
"If anyone can do it, it's you two. I believe that." The song stopped and Lorelei gave him a hug. "Welcome to the family."
"Thanks for the dance." He said as he kissed her hand.
"The pleasure was all mine." She curtsied and walked away.
After the reception, a limo pulled up signaling the end of the night. Tristan and Rory said goodbye to everyone and climbed in. Once they were out of sight, Rory rolled up the window.
"Finally." She said as moved over to straddle Tristan. She leaned in to kiss him and they were immediately swept up in each other. As Rory pushed his jacket off his shoulders, Tristan ran his fingers through her hair and began to kiss her neck. Rory moaned and instinctively arched into him.
"Mary," he practically moaned out her name. "Are you," Tristan closed his eyes, swallowed and tried again. He had to give her credit. She knew exactly how to distract a man from his point. "Are you sure you want to do this? Here, I mean." Rory stopped and started undressing herself.
"Tristan, do you really want to question this?" That, combined with the fact that Rory was almost completely naked by now, was enough to shut him up.
OOOOO
When Rory woke up, two arms surrounded her. She had fallen asleep on Tristan's chest and his arms were possessively wrapped around her back. She always loved waking up in his arms, but today was different. Today was the first day of the rest of their life together, and she couldn't have been happier about it. As she thought about their wedding and the tryst in the limo, she couldn't stop smiling. It was incredibly sappy and cliché but it was true. She was Mrs. Tristan DuGray. It was hard to believe that only 6 months ago they were being re-introduced to one another. Now she couldn't imagine her life without him. As she glanced up at his still form and watched him sleeping, only one thought entered her mind, Everything's perfect.
