(I don't own Boy Meets World or Girl Meets World I just own my mind and some digital downloads and all the BMW seasons on DVD! I also started this I swear before I knew what Shawn actually did for a living.)

Shawn was climbing the walls. He was nervous, he didn't know why its not like didn't love her. They had been living together for months, traveling together when the opportunity arose. He invited their whole family into town for dinner and even reserved the restaurant they ended up after dinner with her grandparents their first weekend together. She was out shopping with Lorelai, Emily, Lane, Amy, and Topanga. Right now he was pacing the apartment. She had no clue what he had planned she just thought they were all going out to dinner.

The week before Shawn had driven down to Stars Hollow to meet with Lorelai, Luke, Richard, and Emily to ask their permission.

(Flashback)

"So where's Rory today?" Asked Emily taking a bite of her salad. They were all at the Dragonfly having lunch.

"Uh, Atlanta today, then Phoenix. She'll be home Friday." Said Shawn.

"I'm surprised you didn't go with her." Said Richard.

"Yeah, I had a couple meetings and then this summer camp wanted me to photograph a couple of their buildings. Plus I wanted to meet with you guys about something."

"Oh?" Asked Loreali.

"Yeah, I wanted to ask your permission to ask Rory to marry me. Now I know we haven't been together that long, and I didn't have some of the best examples growing up but I love her, and I will never leave unless she tells me to and honestly it'll only be down the block." Said Shawn with a small laugh.

"You don't need our permission Shawn but you have my blessing." Said Lorelai.

"Mine too Kid." Said Luke.

"Our's too." Said Emily.

"Thank you."

"So when and how are you proposing?" Said Emily.

"I was thinking of inviting everyone to the restaurant we went to after you guys went to that French place."

"I like that idea, and I think we should do a girls' day as a way to explain us being in town." Said Lorelai.

"Get Lane and Topanga in on it." Said Emily.

"What time is the reservation?"

"7 on the 15th." Said Shawn.

"Okay." Said Lorelai as she and Emily pulled out their planners.

"And they are gone." Said Richard jokingly.

(End of Flashback)

Shawn for once was thankful Rory was gone for the week because he was nervous as hell and she would have noticed. At first he was concerned about how he was going to do this and then he was nervous she would feel overwhelmed and feel like history was repeating itself. In one of their many talks she had told him about Logan's proposal, but admitted she was mostly overwhelmed because he did it in a room full of strangers. She'd be home soon and tomorrow she was going shopping with the women in their life. They decided to tell her they were having a family dinner. Lorelai, Emily, and Amy told her it was long overdue. He had to get his act together cause he now heard her keys in the lock. So he continued working on an article.

"Hey you." Rory said walking in.

"Hey. I missed you." Said Shawn.

"I missed you too. We can't go this long without seeing each other again." Said Rory kissing him.

"I whole heartedly agree." He said returning her kiss and deepening it. That was all he needed to calm down. He slowly walked her backwards towards the bedroom slowly undressing both of them as he went. As they reached the bed Rory finished taking off the last bit of clothes she had on and then laid back bringing Shawn with her.

"I'm warning you now this is not going to be gentle and sweet. I missed you way to much for that right now." Said Shawn shedding his boxers.

"I wasn't expecting that until later." Said Rory moving her legs enough for Shawn to rest between them. He slowly invaded her personal space and entered her swiftly. He barely gave her time for any adjustment before he started moving himself quickly in and out of her hoping to bring them to completion.

"Oh Shawn right there keep hitting that spot."

"I'm so close Baby. I don't think I'm gonna last much longer." Said Shawn.

In the next few minutes both Shawn and Rory climbed up Mt. Bliss together and then climbed back down. As they laid there breathing heavy between them. He figured he'd ask about their plans.

"So is tomorrow when you're going out with the moms?" He asked knowing full well it was.

"Yup. Mom, Amy, Topanga, Lane, and Grandma."

"Are we gonna make bills next week?" He asked jokingly.

"Yes." She answered with just as much humor.

The ladies had shown up early, well early for Shawn and Rory on a day off.

"Oh before you leave, are you working a lot next week?"

"Nope already turned in my article and no meetings. Why?"

"Don't make plans."

"Okay…" Said Rory slowly.

When he was sure Rory was gone the next day he looked up a number and hit call.

"Good morning, Camelot Inn and Resort."

"Yeah, hi is Finn Morgan around?"

"Um, hold on. May I ask who's calling?"

"Shawn Hunter."

"Hold on please." Shawn listened to the song that was playing and realized it was Hep Alien playing.

"This is Finn."

"Hey it's Shawn Hunter."

"Hey, how's Rory?"

"She's good, out with Lorelai, Emily, my mom, Lane, and our friend Topanga."

"Big night tonight, nervous?"

"A little, but I'm good."

"You'll be fine. You love her. Just speak from the heart."

"Thanks Finn. So the reason I'm calling is I was wondering how booked you are this week?"

"I'll have my best suite ready. No charge." Said Finn pulling up the reservation page on the computer and putting down Shawn's name and making sure to put comped on it.

"We're paying Finn."

"Engagement present." Said Finn with finalitly.

"Thanks Finn we'll be up there tomorrow."

"Not a problem Mate. Have a good night and relax."

"I'll try." The men hung up and Shawn headed over to Cory and Topanga's where he found Eric sleeping on the couch with Auggie sitting on his legs.

"Morning Kid."

"Hi Uncle Shawn."

"What are you watching?"

"Mr. Googily."

"Right on. What's Eric doing?"

"Snoring."

"Cool." Said Shawn taking the cup of coffee Cory was offering with a smile.

Meanwhile the girls were out shopping. Emily and Lila being shocked at some of the stores the younger women went into.

"So I need a new suit for work." Said Topanga.

"I think we can find a couple mix and match outfits for you guys." Said Emily leading them into Nieman Marcus.

"Oh, boy is she on good terms with Grandpa?" Asked Rory as a joke.

"Last I checked just remember you can return it." Said Lorelai to all the girls.

"Hello Mrs. Gilmore."

"Hello Pauline."

"What can we do for you today?"

"Well we need some business attire for my granddaughter and her friends. My daughter will also need a couple pieces."

"Very well, we actually just got some new Louise Grants in."

"Grandma, if I want a piece of Louise's clothing line I call her."

"Oh right. My granddaughter is good friends with Louise maybe another designer."

"Not a problem. Follow me."

"I'm going to call Louise." Said Rory with a smile.

"Hello?"

"Louise, it's Rory."

"Hey, what's up?"

"Are you in town?"

"Define town?"

"Are you in New York?"

"Yes."

"Wanna play dress up?" Topanga and Lane laughed.

"Pretty please! Madeline is here too she wants to play."

"Meet me at my place in two hours."

"Nope, our store/salon."

"Better option. See you then."

"Bye."

"We have an appointment in two hours." Said Rory with a smile. The older women laughed at their antics.

Shawn was sitting talking with Cory, Alan, and Eric when he got a text from Topanga that read 'Get what you need for tonight you are banned from your place until after dinner."

"I'll be back in a few."

"Where are you going?" Asked Alan.

"Apparently I'm banned until we get back from dinner."

"So how do you know Louise?" Asked Amy very familiar with Louise's clothing line.

"We went to Chilton together. Me, her, Madeline, and Paris all hung out together. Actually in the beginning it was them three torturing me, but you know once Tristan left it got better." She said with a laugh.

"Cause Paris lost her reason to hate you. She had a crush on Tristan." Said Lane.

"Ahh." Said Topanga.

The group arrived at the shop and Rory was immediately pulled into hugs by the girls.

"You made it!" Said Louise.

"Yes. So settlement or play money?"

"This is so I won't shop. But he made it worse cause now I just shop for fabrics."

"I got banned for a month. I know the pain." Said Lorelai.

"So do you have any galas or things like that?"

"Not that I know of." Said Rory knowing Louise was trying to use her as an excuse to go fabric shopping.

The girls spent the next few hours shopping and picking up items and clothes they needed for work and such. They all got more than they planned thanks to Louise's friends and family discount.

"Thank you for doing this." Said Rory.

"No problem call me when you need a new dress."

"Get married again." Said Rory jokingly.

"Nope, no more." Said Louise.

"Aww, but that's how I get all my pretty dresses."

"Oh well you'll just have to come in and shop." Said Louise.

"Well we will defiantly be back." Said Amy.

"Oh before you guys take off, here." Louise said handing them each a card. "This is in case you come in and Madeline and I aren't here. That way you always get your discount. You girls have dances coming up?"

"Not yet." Said Maya.

"Well when you do come here."

"Louise more Stars Hollow than Chilton." Said Rory.

"Gotcha. Laid back not debutante."

"Exactly." Said Topanga.

The group of women left the boutique with their hair and nails done and also their new clothes and headed back to Rory's.

"It's a miracle the boys listened." Said Topanga.

"Yeah, they're at your house." Said Rory with a laugh.

The hours slowly drifted by, but it was finally time for the guys to leave and the girls would follow about 15 minutes later.

From the outside of the restaurant it looked closed and a sign on the door said 'closed for a private party'.

"I wonder if Shawn knows they're closed." Said Rory.

"I'm sure he does, let's head in." Said Emily taking charge.

"But Grandma it's closed."

"Don't worry about that." Said Emily. As a gift for the couple they had rented the restaurant out. The group walked in and were greeted by the men in their lives. With everyone mingling around including Jess who was catching up with Zach, Brian, and Gil. Shawn decided it was time to propose so they could enjoy dinner.

"If everyone could grab your seats I have a little something to say." Said Shawn. "First I'd like to thank everyone who helped me plan this night and thank everyone for taking time out of their schedules to come here. In the last few months since I came back permanently I've realized just how much our family has grown. Me and Rory both grew up with really small circles and now it's grown to being able to fill a restaurant. It still amazes me, and I want that to continue. Rory, I always thought putting down roots meant we would have to stop going on adventures, but you helped me, along with our large family to realize we can still have adventures, and now they'll be more fun cause hopefully someday we'll have more people to share them with. Since the day the kids stole my phone I've known we had something special. So I'm asking you if you'll continue on this adventure with me as my wife."

"Yes." Said Rory immediately.

The whole restaurant erupted including the wait staff. Lorelai, Amy, and Emily all had tears in their eyes. Eric could even swear he saw Mrs. Kim who frightened him was tearing a bit. After Shawn and Rory stopped kissing everyone started congratulating them. Rory figured by the end of the night they'd have most of the wedding planned. Rory couldn't stop looking at her ring.

"Congratulations Rory."

"Thank you Mrs. Kim and thank you for coming tonight. It really means a lot to me."

"You are welcome. I hope you and Shawn will be very happy."

"I hope so too."

"Hi Mrs. Kim."

"Hello Shawn, I was just telling Rory I hope you two are very happy together."

"Thank you?"

"Just remember what I told you."

"Yes Ma'am."

"Did Mrs. Kim just threaten you?" Asked Jess.

"Not really, more of a reminder." Said Shawn shaking his hand.

"Good for her. Congrats."

"Thanks for coming."

"Not a problem. I'm glad to see her happy. She's finally with someone on her level. You get her in ways none of us did."

"She keeps me on my toes." Said Shawn watching Rory talk with the other women in his life. It was like she had always been there.

"Keep her in coffee, books, and encourage her when she needs it." Stated Jess.

"I can do that." Said Shawn as Jon and Alan walked up. Jess took his leave and went to talk to Luke and Richard.

"You good?" Asked Jon.

"I'm good and ready." Said Shawn.

"I just want to tell you something, no matter how old you get you are my son and I am so proud of the man you have become. I love you Shawn." Said Alan hugging Shawn tight to him.

"I love you too Dad, both of you."

"Love you too, Kid."

"Congratulations Shawn." Said Mr. Feeny.

"Thank you Sir." He said hugging him.

Shawn walked over to the table and started klinking his water glass.

"I just wanted to thank everyone for coming in tonight for our family dinner. The first time we had one of these it was so everyone could meet. Tonight it's was so I could ask Rory to marry me. So thank you for coming and let's enjoy the food."

Lorelai looked at the door one last time before taking her seat and then took out her phone to text Christopher.

"Did you tell him what tonight was?" Asked Richard quietly.

"Yup. I just texted him that she said yes. I don't get it he's an hour away and he couldn't come to one family dinner."

"I know, but look at everyone who did." Richard said as Lorelai looked around the room and saw the love surrounding the newly engaged couple.

"Thanks Dad."

"You are welcome."

"So I guess you are going to need a dress." Said Lorelai coming up to her daughter.

"I guess I am."

"Well we have a couple options, Miss Celine, random shop, Louise."

"You." Said Rory.

"I can do that."

"I'll have Louise do the bridesmaids dresses, but I want you to make my dress."

"Deal."

"Welcome to the family Sweetheart." Said Amy coming over with Lila and Topanga.

"Thank you Amy." Said Rory hugging her.

"Yay! I don't have to deal with them on my own anymore." Said Topanga. Lane then walked over with Mrs. Kim.

"Congratulations!" Said Lane.

"Thank you. Will you be my maid of honor?"

"Of course. And if you want us we'll be the band too."

"Done. Shawn we have a band."

"Well that didn't take long." Said Cory.

"What?" Asked Shawn.

"Those ladies will have it all planned by the time we leave here." Said Richard as Rory walked over to where all the men were standing.

"What do you think of getting married here so it's close for everyone?" Asked Rory.

"Let's get married where we first met seems fitting." Said Shawn.

"Are you sure? Cause this is your wedding too."

"Set it up with Lorelai. The only thing I ask is that if it's outside it be warm. Or I'll have flashbacks to the docks." He said jokingly.

"Okay. By the way you need 5."

"5 what?" He asked as she walked away.

"Groomsmen."

"You have 5."

"Plus the girls and Auggie."

"I told you, they will have it done before we leave." Said Richard with a smile.

After congratulations were shared throughout the large group. Everyone sat down to dinner. They decided to table the wedding discussion for the rest of the night and concentrated on just being together as a family.

Later that night after everyone had gone back to their houses Rory and Shawn talked about their future, and his preparation leading up to the proposal.

"So how long did you plan all of it?"

"A couple weeks. Had to coordinate everyone's schedules. And find a time to go to Hartford and Stars Hollow without you."

"For what?"

"To ask Lorelai, Luke, and your grandparents permission to ask you. I know I technically didn't need it but I decided to be proper."

"Wow. thank you for that."

"No problem. Now who are you gonna have walk you to the alter?"

"I don't know. I'm leaning towards Luke. Chris made it clear where he stands. Mom called told him what you were planning."

"Think he's mad I didn't ask his permission?"

"If he is, oh well. He would have just called Mom anyways."

"Okay. So I have my groomsmen list."

"Okay."

"Cory as best man, Jack, Eric, Harley, Jon."

"Okay so Bridesmaids are Lane as Maid of Honor, then Paris, Madeline, Louise, and Topanga. So Paris will walk with Eric, Madeline with Harley, Louise with Jack, and Topanga with Jon. Then the girls will be jr. bridesmaids and Auggie, Steve, and Kwan can be ringbearers."

"What about Sookie's kids?"

"They can be ushers."

"Music you said was gonna be the band?"

"Yes, and if it's cool with you have Jess and someone from your side do readings."

"Frankie."

"Done."

"What do we have left?" He asked jokingly.

"Who's officiating, we have to talk food with Sookie, and dresses and suits."

"Will there be sampling?"

"The food. Yes."

"I'm in."

"Men. We have a ton of phone calls to make tomorrow."

"Who do we have to call everyone we know was there?"

"I have to call Paris. And a few other people."

"Then I know what we can do now."

"Yeah? What?"

For the rest of the night the couple enjoyed being an engaged couple. Because the next morning their phones got a workout.

"Grant-Lynn Boutique?"

"Hi this is Rory Gilmore are Louise or Madeline in?"

"Hold on."

"Rory? Why are you calling the business line, you usually call my cell?"

"Because this is a business call. Get Madeline."

"Hang on."

"Hi Rory, what's up?"

"Two questions."

"Okay." Said Louise.

"One, how would you feel about being bridesmaids and two Louise can you make them?"

"Yes, and Duh. Who's doing your dress?"

"Lorelai."

"Cool. If anyone can do it she can. I've seen the before and after of Lane's dress."

"Congratulations!" Said Madeline.

"So when are you guys thinking and where?"

"Warm weather and the Dragonfly."

"How many dresses?"

"Well there's 5 Bridesmaids 2 Jr. Bridesmaids, 5 Groomsmen, Auggie and Lane's boys. If you know anyone who does suits. And Louise simple."

"So who am I dressing?"

"You two, Paris, Lane, Topanga, Riley, and Maya."

"And the moms, and possibly Emily."

"Yeah."

"Cool I'll get started on designs, are we matchy?"

"Same color, individual taste Lane's a shade darker."

"Great."

"Just keep in mind simple and the fact that we're probably getting married by Rev. Skinner."

"Deal." Said Louise writing everything down.

"Can I do everyone's hair and makeup?" Asked Madeline.

"Absolutly. Okay I have a few more people to call so I'll talk to you soon."

"Bye Hon, Congratulations!" Said the girls.

"Thank you."

After hanging up with Madeline and Louise she found Paris' name in her phone and hit send.

"Hello?"

"So you missed a very important gathering last night."

"I'm at an ass numbing conference in Seattle."

"Shawn proposed."

"Holy shit!"

"I said yes."

"You're getting married?"

"Yes and will you be a bridesmaid?"

"Who's doing the dresses? What? Don't give me that look the guy hasn't said anything interesting for 20 minutes." Rory had to choke back a laugh. "Louise. Maddie is hair and make up."

"Who else is in the party?"

"Maddie, Louise, Lane is maid of honor, and Topanga."

"What about the guys?"

"Cory, Eric, Jack, Harley, and Jon."

"No kids?"

"The girls are going to be Jr. Bridesmaids and Auggie, Steve, and Kwan are going to ring bearers."

"Cool, the band playing?"

"First thing decided."

"Where?"

"Dragonfly."

"Ooh the speaker I actually wanted to see, Congrats." Dialtone. The abrupt end was something Rory was long used to.

"Was that Paris?" Asked Shawn with a laugh.

"Yeah, she's at some conference. Shit I just thought of something."

"What?"

"Morgan and April."

"Ooh, well Morgan's in California. Give me a second."

"Hello?"

"Hey, did Mom or Dad call you?"

"No why? Is everything okay?"

"I proposed to Rory and she said yes."

"Oh my god! Congratulations"

"Thanks. So we were wondering if you wanted to be in the wedding party. No pressure cause I know you have school and work."

"I kind of would rather be a spectator."

"You sure?"

"Positive, no offense I just learned from Cory and Topanga's I like going to them, but not be in them."

"Deal."

"Congrats Shawn."

"Thanks Weasle. Ow." As Rory smacked his arm.

"What happened?"

"Spousal abuse."

"We're not married yet." Morgan heard Rory say.

"Boyfriend abuse then."

"Bye Shawn."

"Bye Morgan."

"So we need someone to walk with April."

"Josh."

"Done. Let me call April."

"Hello?"

"It's me."

"Hey what's up?"

"Shawn proposed."

"And…"

"Wanna be a bridesmaid?"

"Yes! Is Lorelai doing the dresses?"

"Just mine, Louise is doing the others."

"Cool. Well I got class I expect an email with the details."

"I'll send it this afternoon."

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks, Bye." Rory hung up with April and decided she would call Chris.

"Christopher Hayden's office."

"Hi, I need to speak with Chris is he in?"

"May I ask who's calling?"

"His daughter Rory."

"Hold one second."

"Hey Kid."

"Hi Dad."

"So how are things?"

"Great. You missed a great dinner last night."

"Yeah, Lorelai said you guys were having a party."

"Not a party Dad, a family dinner so everyone could meet again."

"Oh. Well I'm sorry I misunderstood."

"Sure, well you missed something pretty big again."

"What?"

"I'm engaged. That's what the dinner was. Shawn proposed."

"Well congratulations!"

"Are you going to come?"

"When are we talking?"

"Summer."

"Oh."

"What?"

"I'm going on a cruise with Gigi to celebrate graduation."

"Well I'll link you in pictures then bye Dad."

"Rory you got to go to Europe after high school graduation."

"Yeah and…"

"It's your sister's turn for that same thing."

"Wow, you really want to go there. You weren't at my high school graduation, you didn't help me move into Yale that first year. You know what Chris I'm done. This is my wedding the only one I'm going to have and you don't care. I'm done. I don't want anything to do with you anymore. You are a father but not mine anymore."

"Hey, I will always be your father Rory. It's my blood running through your veins, Kid."

"And what has that gotten me?"

"Got you a college education."

"You'll have that money back by the end of the week."

"I don't want it back Rory. Damnit. But you gotta understand I didn't know how to be a father. I did my best."

"Mom was the same age and she did everything for me on her own."

"Your grandparents paid for Chilton and part of Yale Rory."

"You're right they did, but at least I have a relationship with them because of it. You used me to get to Mom every time. I'm done with this. I'm done with you . Bye Chris for good."

"Bye Rory."

Rory then dialed Lorelai's number.

"Hi Hon. I thought you'd be too busy with Shawn to call me."

"Had some phone calls to make. I called Dad to tell him and he said he and Gigi are going on a cruise over the summer so he's not coming."

"That asshole."

"Yeah, so I blew up at him and basically said I was done. I'm done trying Mom."

"Okay no problem."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Okay so we ironed out a couple things."

"I've got my notebook. Go."

"Wedding party- girls- Lane, Paris, Madeline, Louise, Topanga, April. Morgan opted out. Then Riley, Maya are Jr. Bridesmaids."

"Got it."

"The guys- Cory, Eric, Jack, Jon, Harley, and Josh. Auggie, Steve, and Kwan are ringbearers. Ushers are going to be Sookie's kids."

"Got it."

"We're going to do two readings, reader's choice and those are Jess and Frankie."

"Great choices." Said Lorelai knowing the two men would do it justice.

"Louise is on dresses, except for mine. Madeline is on hair and makeup. Lane's on music."

"Sookie's on food." Said Lorelai.

"Great."

"Luke asked if he could make you guys breakfast that morning."

"Awesome. I'm going to ask Grandma to work on invites we'll have final say and despite the size of the wedding party I want it small. No society. The last thing I need is Mitchum and Shira there. I just want close friends and family where we know everyone."

"You inviting Colin and Finn?"

"I'll talk to Shawn about it."

"Well Kid you got a lot done considering you just got engaged last night."

"I know. So in the summer what do you have free?"

"Everything is booked except June 22."

"Then June 22nd it is."

"Okay." Said Lorelai writing it in her date book. "Now your dress. What are you thinking?"

"Something like my debutant dress not as poofy and not a long train I want to be comfortable not worried about tripping."

"Cap or spaghetti?"

"Cap so I don't have to spend all night adjusting."

"Good. Colors?"

"Not sure yet."

Just then Shawn walked through the door having gone for bagels.

"June 22nd."

"Okay, should I know what that means?"

"Your anniversary, for the rest of your life."

"Got it." Lorelai smiled on her end. Happy her daughter was happy. "I brought food."

"Mom, gotta go."

"Bye."

Rory and Shawn sat down for a few minutes to work on career stuff that needed to be done as soon as possible.

"So I need to go to Connecticut next weekend, do you want to come with and work on wedding stuff with Lorelai and Emily?" Asked Shawn.

"Yeah, and we could probably work on a food tasting with Sookie? Why do you have to go?"

"I was going to talk to Jon about the invitation. Since Jon's going to be in the wedding party I was gonna have Amy and Alan listed as my parents on the invite."

"And you want to make sure he's cool with that?"

"Yeah. Is that weird?"

"Sweet."

"We have to leave for our overnight trip in an hour."

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere special oh and pack light."

"For what?"

"Wanna go to Philly today?"

"Can we stop at the bookstore?"

"Of course."

"Lets go."

A short time later Rory and Shawn set off for Philadelphia. With little to no traffic they were there by 1pm and decided to head straight to the Matthews' house. After parking the couple walked to the back door, but didn't make it in time to knock.

"Well this is a surprise you two come in." Said Amy hugging them. "Everything alright?"

"Yeah, just had some things to ask you and I didn't want to do it over the phone. And last night was just all over the place."

"Okay, Alan! Shawn and Rory are here."

"Hey Guys, what's up?"

"Nothing just some wedding stuff. By the way mark down June 22nd."

"Done." Said Amy with a smile, as she sensed Shawn's nervousness.

"Okay so you know how on the invites it lists usually both sets of parents?"

"Yeah." Said Alan.

"Well I was wondering if I could put you down as mine. If it's too much I get it." Said Shawn not noticing how at the same time Amy and Alan's eyes both lit and teared up.

"We would be honored. Shawn you have been my son since the day we met you." Said Amy standing up to hug him.

"I know I don't say it enough but thank you Mom for everything."

"Never have to thank me. I love you Shawn no matter what. Even when you put cherry bombs in mailboxes."

"Same goes for me." Said Alan hugging Shawn tightly. Rory looked on with tears in her eyes. Realizing she needed to have a conversation of her own with Luke.

"So what else do you guys have planned out?" Asked Amy.

"Uh, just the basic stuff. A lot of it has just fallen into place. The band is gonna play and we'll probably have Kirk DJ as back up. Louise and Madeline are on clothes and hair and make up. I'm leaving that to them, and every thing else as far as venue is on my mom's plate." Said Rory.

"Who were you thinking of for your dress?"

"Actually my mom is doing that. She's made or altered clothes forever. She made my dress for a formal when I was at Chilton and made and altered Lane's dress out of her mother's wedding dress."

"So how many people you thinking of inviting?" Asked Alan.

"That I'm not sure. We want it small." Said Shawn.

"The smaller the better less chance of crashers."

"Good plan." Said Alan.

"So what's left to do?" Asked Amy.

"Food tasting and guest list." Said Rory.

"Food tasting is the best part." Said Alan.

"Sookie's on food with I think a bit of input from Luke who's doing breakfast the morning of." Said Rory.

"For a small wedding our wedding party is huge." Said Shawn.

"Yeah." Said Rory knowing that was unavoidable.

"How many?" Asked Alan.

"Like 8 for each side." Said Rory.

"You know 8 people?" Asked Alan jokingly.

"I didn't think so before." Said Shawn. "By the way Josh around?"

"No, he's at the store working until 5. Why?" Said Alan.

"Was gonna ask him to be a groomsman."

"He'll say yes." Said Amy.

"I hope so or April's walking solo." Said Shawn. "We asked Morgan, but she said after Cory and Topanga's she'd rather be a spectator."

"Can't blame her." Said Alan.

"Nope, not at all."

Rory and Shawn stayed through lunch before heading to the store to talk to Josh who readily agreed to be involved. They then headed over the Truncheon to get books and speak with Jess. When they walked in Jess was at the counter.

"What are you guys doing in town?"

"Had to talk to my folks about wedding stuff before heading back to Connecticut." Said Shawn.

"Yeah, Emily take over yet?"

"Nope. Told her she only had to help with the guest list. Basically we're having the RSVPs going to her."

"Cause you guys are never home and Lorelai's organization skills are non-exsistant."

"You got it." Said Rory.

"Just stay on top of it or it's going to be society for days." Said Jess with a smile.

"You bet I will. But I also had a reason for coming, and if it's too weird I get it."

"My mom was married by the town troubadour to a man who only talked about how much he loved his tights. What's up?"

"True. Do a reading during the ceremony."

"Paris involved?"

"Just as a bridesmaid."

"Not the reading?"

"Nope."

"I'm in."

"Would you have said yes if she was?"

"Yeah, anyone else reading?"

"My buddy Frankie." Jess nodded.

"Anything I want?"

"No Hemmingway."

"I'm going to pick the most obscure Hemmingway passage I can find." Said Jess screwing with her much to Shawn's amusement.

"You do that and I'll read Rand at yours."

"Good luck in Fantasyland." Said Jess. He then pulled out a couple bags for them. Whenever there was something he thought they might like he put a copy aside.

"Okay. How much total?" Asked Rory.

"Your's and Shawn's $35." He gave them not only his discount but also the Frequent Reader discount.

"And Grandpa's?" Asked Rory pulling out her card.

"Richard and I have an arrangement. I gave him his books last night."

"He's doing your policy huh?"

"Yup." Said Jess. "I don't know how but he saved me a ton."

"He's good at what he does."

Rory and Jess grabbed their stuff and soon found their way to Connecticut. Jon's was closer so they stopped there first before heading to Stars Hollow. Shawn pulled into the driveway, and noticed there was a Jag in the driveway.

"Who's car is that?" Asked Rory.

"Jon's parents."

"Okay." The couple walked to the door. Shawn knocked before opening it.

"Jon!"

"Hi Guys. Was I expecting you?"

"No we were on our way to Stars Hollow, and I needed to ask you something in person. Hi Mr. and Mrs. Turner."

"Hi Shawn." Said Jon's mother Abigail giving him hug. "And who is this?"

"This is my fiancée Rory. Rory Gilmore, Abigail and Jonathan Turner."

"It's great to meet you both."

"You too Sweetheart. And I have told you so many times it's either Abby or Grandma and Jon or Grandpa none of this Mr. and Mrs. Turner business."

"Yes Ma'am."

"I'll let it slide. So when's the wedding?"

"Ma they just got engaged last night."

"June 22nd." Said Shawn shocking Jon.

"You already have a date?" Asked Jon Sr.

"We're having it at the inn my mother owns. So she checked the calendar and it's what she had free."

"Great." Said Jon. "So what's up?"

"Can I talk to you in the kitchen?"

"Yup, be right back." Said Jon to his parents. "So what's going on Kid?"

"Okay, so its actually two things I need to talk to you about. Number one is will you be a groomsman in the wedding?"

"Done, what's the second?"

"Okay so usually when they print out the invites they list the parents on it of the bride and the groom. So I was wondering since you'll be in the wedding party if it's cool that we list Amy and Alan as my parents. You're my dad Jon we all know that. This isn't coming out right."

"Hey, Shawn you are my son everyone that is important knows that. You were like a son long before you moved in with me. I'd be honored to be apart of your wedding in any capacity."

"You know what it's silly why can't I have three parents listed on the invite I was just being too traditional."

"How ever you want to do it, I'm there." Said Jon. They walked back into the living room where Rory had been chatting with Jon's parents.

"So we were talking to this wonderful young woman here and we were wondering if you wanted to do lunch." Said Abby.

"Yeah, are you guys on a schedule?"

"Not really we were just going to pop into Stars Hollow for a bit meet up with my mom and then Shawn planned something that I'm not allowed to know."

"Well Stars Hollow is close why don't we go to Luke's for lunch and then we'll head out for my surprise."

"Sounds good. We'll follow you?" Asked Jon Sr.

"Deal." Said Jon.

The family headed to Stars Hollow and made good time getting there. They were happy to see they didn't have to track down Lorelai as she was there having what was sure to be her 15th cup of coffee.

"Hey Guys. What brings you by?"

"We were running errands and found ourselves on a couple highways. Apparently, this is the halfway point to wherever we're going later, and I needed to talk you about the invitations."

"Okay."

"Here I wrote this up in the car if you could get it to Grandma that would be great."

Lorelai and Lucas Danes

Amy and Alan Matthews and Jonathan Turner

would like to invite you to the wedding

of their children

Lorelai Leigh Gilmore

Shawn Patrick Hunter

On June 22nd at the Dragonfly Inn at 1 o'clock in the afternoon

In Stars Hollow, CT

"Looks good Kid."

"And you'll make sure she follows it exactly."

"Even if I have to print them at the Dragonfly myself. Don't worry everything will be fine."

The group had lunch and that's when Shawn decided it was time for them to head out to their destination.

"Well we're going to head out, so feel free to talk about us amongst yourselves."

"Get out of here we'll talk to you later, call us when you get there." Said Jon with a laugh.

Shawn and Rory left and headed off to their secret destination. However once they got on the highway Rory realized where they were going once they turned off for Vermont.

"Really we're celebrating our engagement at Finn's resort?"

"Maybe. Mad?"

"Not at all I'm looking forward to it." It was still warm enough there where they could enjoy the outdoor amenities that the resort offered. Within a few hours the couple made it there. Shawn went in and quickly checked them in before driving off to their suite.

"Shawn this suite is huge how are we paying for it?"

"Its our engagement present from Finn."

"He is too much."

"Well come on we're wasting precious naked time here." Said Shawn jokingly.

"I don't see you stripping yet." Said Rory with a smile.

With that prompting the couple shed their clothes and took in each other's bodies. They both felt their breathing change before they started to kiss one another. Shawn didn't waste anytime entering her and latching on to her breast. Rory reveled in the sensations she was feeling by tangling her fingers in Shawn's hair and scratching his scalp.

"Baby I'm almost there." She said breathily. Shawn moved his mouth from her breast to her mouth and swallowed the moan that was breaking out as he and Rory rode out their orgasm. Heavy breathing started as they stared at each other for a moment then slowly pulled from each other as Shawn pulled out from her. "Wow."

"Engaged sex agrees with us." Said Shawn with a laugh.

"Then I can't wait to try married sex then."

"Come on let's clean up and then go see what kind of activities they have in store for us." Said Shawn getting off the bed and going into the bathroom. "Uh, Babe we might never want to leave this bathroom."

"Why what's up?" Said Rory going in. "Holy crap it's gorgeous."

They finally left the bathroom after cleaning up and headed out to the pool area with their towels to lay on the deck chairs and the brochure that had the activities listed for the weekend. Both Shawn and Rory knew they'd attend a couple of them and there was a dance that asked that at the minimum bathing suits be worn in the grand hall.

The couple enjoyed their time at the pool together just floating around not worrying about anything but what they were going to do next. Lorelai texted once to tell them that the invitation had been delivered to Emily and would be printed exactly as they wished, they just had to finalize the guest list.

"So I need to ask you something." Asked Rory floating up to him and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Okay."

"Would it make you uncomfortable if we invited Finn and Colin to the wedding?"

"Why would it make me uncomfortable?"

"Cause they were Logan's friends first."

"They're your friends and Finn's been good to us, so I say invite them."

"Okay."

The week continued on for the couple and they enjoyed their time at the resort but it was time for them to get back to their real world, jobs, and the wedding plans. Luckily within their family they had people that could take charge of different aspects of it to help ease the stress of the day for them. They concentrated on work and each other for the months leading up to their day. Invitations had been sent and RSVPs long had been sent to Emily and Richard's. It was a perfect mixture of family, friends, the town of Stars Hollow and a few people from work for the couple. It was during one of these visits that she had a private talk with Luke about walking her down the aisle. At first he stated she should ask Richard instead, but Rory stood firm and stated that would only work if she didn't have a father and she did, him. Luke teared up and accepted her answer. Jess and Frankie chose their readings and consulted a couple times to make sure they hadn't chose the same one.

After months of consults and fittings the day was finally upon them and it was turning out to be gorgeous. Lorelai and Rory had been going back and forth about what Rory wanted it to be from day one, and what ended up coming out of the many discussions was something completely different than expected. The only ones that knew what the dress looked like were Rory and Lorelai. Louise designed the bridesmaids dresses out of a light pink fabric in styles that fit each of the girls with their different styles.

Everyone was in town waiting for the event. Rory and Shawn had been kept apart all night with him at the Dragonfly and she at the Crap Shack with all the women in their life together. She woke up to the smell of coffee and baked goods. She carefully stepped over April who was on the trundle and made her way into the kitchen where she found Luke and Lorelai.

"What are you doing up so early?" Asked Lorelai.

"Couldn't sleep I'm usually up by now or Shawn is and that wakes me up."

"You want some coffee?" Asked Lorelai.

"Are you new? Yes please."

"Sit down, I'll get it." Said Luke.

"So we'll be getting ready soon." Said Lorelai. "We should start getting everyone who's here up the others will be here soon too."

"And then we're heading over?" Asked Rory.

"No we're getting ready here and then heading over. Everyone was instructed to come with damp hair."

"I guess I should shower before they all get here."

"Finish eating first then go shower cause you will take the longest." There was then a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." Said Luke opening it he found Richard and Emily with garment bags.

"Morning come on in."

"Luke, something's chiming in here!" Called Lorelai jokingly.

"That would be the oven."

"I know that. I just didn't want to mess anything up. Hi Mom, Dad."

"Good morning Ladies." Said Richard giving his girls hugs including April who had just woken up.

"Rory you aren't even showered yet?" Asked Emily going into full management mode.

"I just woke up Grandma, I'm going to drink my coffee and have some breakfast first. As will you. Relax everything is going to be fine. Here is coffee, Luke is pulling something out of the oven. Sit, eat it'll all go fine."

"You are entirely too calm." Said Emily amazed at her granddaughter's ease.

"Everything is ready. Everyone we care about is here in town. There is nothing left to worry about." Said Rory. "I want to enjoy the day I want to remember the day."

"You're right." Said Emily.

"Coffee cake Luke?"

"Two seconds and it's gone."

"No balloon?"

"Jess and I attached it to the chuppa." He said with a smile.

"Thank you Luke." Said Rory giving him a hug.

"You never have to thank me, but you're welcome."

The family finished breakfast before Rory ran off to shower and start the day she would marry Shawn. Meanwhile at the Inn the groom's side did breakfast together.

"You ready Shawnie?" Asked Cory.

"Absolutely."

There was a knock on the door, and Cory opened it to find Jon, Alan, Eric, Jack and Mr. Feeney on the other side.

"You ready for this kid?" Asked Jon.

"I've been ready since I met her the second time." Said Shawn.

"Good. Why don't we go downstairs, eat breakfast, and then we'll start to get ready for the day." Said Mr. Feeny.

The men went downstairs to find most of the ladies ready to go over to Lorelai's to get ready.

"Bye." Said Topanga.

"You're leaving already?" Asked Cory.

"Yup. We need to go get ready. If you are late don't bother coming back to New York. Either of you."

"Yes Ma'am." Said Cory and Shawn together.

The chaos at the Crap Shack was in full swing with the team Emily hired and Madeline's team working on all the girls' hair and make up. Finally everyone was ready, including Rory.

"Rory come on we're going to be late." Said Emily up the stairs.

"Yeah, if you're late the threat I made to the boys goes out the window." Said Topanga jokingly.

"Okay I'm ready." Said Rory coming down the stairs while the photographer who was a friend of Shawn's from the website took pictures of her.

"Rory, your dress looks gorgeous." Said Emily.

"Lorelai if you ever want to design a dress line call me, I'll gladly sell them at my place." Said Louise.

"Thank you, but I'll stick to once in a while."

"Lorelai you did an amazing job." Said Emily.

"Thank you Mom."

After pictures outside the group loaded up into the car to take them to the Dragonfly.

"You ready for this Kid?" Asked Lorelai when they pulled up.

"Yes I've never wanted anything more."

"Let's get you married then."

It was finally time to start the ceremony in the back garden of the Inn. Once everyone was seated Shawn and Cory moved into place while Brian played the processional on the piano. Everyone fell into place just as they had gone over everything the day before with Alan escorting both Lorelai and Amy to their seats up front. Brian started the processional with Paris and Eric walking down the aisle followed by Madeline and Harley, Louise and Jack. Topanga and Jon, April and Josh. There was a short pause before Riley, Maya, Auggie, Steve, and Kwan came down with the rings. The music then changed the music to the "Wedding March' everyone stood. Shawn sucked in a deep breath as he waited for Rory to join him. When she and Luke appeared at the top of the aisle she smiled at him. Luke then gently walked her down and shook Shawn's hand before taking his place next to Lorelai, Richard, and Emily.

"Welcome Everybody." Said Rev. Skinner. "Today we have been asked to join Rory and Shawn in celebrating the start of their life together. Who is giving her away today?"

"I am." Said Luke.

"Good. Now a little over a year ago Rory and Shawn met right here, and now we get to see them start off on another journey. I asked them how they got together after Rory showed Shawn our town and they told me they didn't do it on their own, they had the help once they got back to New York from their nieces Riley and Maya, and their nephew Auggie who took it upon themselves to take Shawn's phone and asked Rory out for him. Good job you Guys. Now both Shawn and Rory are into literature so they have chosen two readings today. Our first reader will be Frankie Stuccino. Frankie."

"Thank you Rev. Skinner. This is called In and Out of Time by Dr. Maya Angelou

The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance…
our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.

We have loved each other in and out of time.

When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I had always loved you more.
You freed your braids…
gave your hair to the breeze.
It hummed like a hive of honey bees.
I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there….
Mmmm…God how I love your hair.

You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.
Lost, injured, hurt by chance.
I screamed to the heavens….loudly screamed….
Trying to change our nightmares into dreams…

The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out
in and out
in and out
of time."

"Thank you Frankie, our second reading today will be done by Jess Mariano."

"Thank you Reverend. I told Rory I would pick the most obscure Hemmingway passage I could find but she threatened me with Rand so I found something else. This is from 'Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Marie Rilke "To love is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation…Love is a high inducement to the individual to ripen, to become something in himself, to become world for himself for another's sake, it is a great exacting claim upon him, something that chooses him out and calls him to vast things."

"Thank you Jess. I think that's the most I've every heard you speak, and now for the vows Rory and Shawn have chosen to write their own so I'm going to hand it over to them."

"Shawn, when we met something happened that is so hard to explain. I met someone who although in a different medium shared a lot of my same dreams and fears. I didn't know if you felt the same after we walked around town, and I was scared to feel that. But luckily sticky fingers took care of th at for us when the kids called me, and Auggie asked me out for hot chocolate. We've started a life where we're not two ships in the night we're on the same boat. I can't wait to see what adventures we get to take in the future. I love you."

"Rory, before I met you I just wandered through life avoiding any sort of relationship because I was afraid that I would be like Chet and Virna and leave when things got hard, but over this last year and a half I haven't wanted to leave once. I thought adventures around the country stop once you settle down. You helped me realize that we can that we can do that together. I'm so glad you help me through these things and I can help you through yours. That's what a couple does. Thank you for answering your phone when the kids called."

"The rings please." Said Rev. Skinner. The boys stepped up and Auggie lifted the pillow to Rev. Skinner.

"Rory, please repeat after me I, Lorelai Leigh take you Shawn Patrick, to be my husband, 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 us part."

"I, Lorelai Leigh take you Shawn Patrick, to be my husband, 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 us part."

"Shawn repeat after me I, Shawn Patrick take you Lorelai Leigh, to be my 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 us part."

"I, Shawn Patrick take you Lorelai Leigh, to be my 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 us part."

"By the power vested in me by the State of Connecticut I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the Bride." The couple kissed gently before Rev. Skinner began to speak again. "Ladies and Gentlemen may I introduce to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Hunter." The guests stood to clap and cheer as Shawn and Rory made their way back up the aisle followed by the wedding party being led by Lane and Cory. Once the couple were up the aisle the photographer had them all start posing for pictures. Once all the combinations were made that could be they headed to the tent where the reception was going to be held. The band had set up while pictures were being taken. During the reception there would be open bar but only the people asked to make speeches were allowed to do so, and only the only two were Lane and Cory. Everyone was mingling while the couple, Cory, and Lane took care of the legalities of the wedding with Rev. Skinner. It was Auggie's job to tell the band when everyone was ready. So he ran up to the stage.

"Uncle Gil. We're ready."

"You got it. Zach we're good."

"Ladies and Gentlemen if you could all head to your seats."

Rory and Shawn decided not to have a head table wanting to be able to sit with the large family they had accumilated and to allow everyone to sit with their spouses. Rory did the seating chart on her own with the occasional call to Amy, Lorelai, and Emily.

"Welcome to the reception of Rory and Shawn. So we're Hep Alien minus our drummer, she'll join us in a minute. I'm Zach, that's Gil, and that's Brian. Lane's with the wedding party so let's get started. Starting us off for the day is the Grandparents of the Bride Richard and Emily Gilmore. Grandparents of the Groom George and Lila Feeny and Jonathan and Abby Turner." The crowd kept the applause going through the whole announcement. "Parents of the Bride Luke and Lorelai Danes, Parents of the Groom Alan and Amy Matthews, and now for the wedding party Junior Bridesmaids Riley Matthews and Maya Hart, and Ring-bearers Auggie Matthews, and Steve and Kwan Van Gerbig. And now the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen April Danes and Josh Matthews, Topanga Matthews and Father of the Groom Jonathan Turner, Louise Grant-Simon and Jack Hunter, Madeline Lynn and Harley Kiner, Paris Geller and Eric Matthews, and your Maid of Honor is Lane Van Gerbig and Best Man Cory Matthews. Now I'm going to ask everyone to stand so we can welcome the Bride and Groom Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Hunter!"

The whole tent erupted in applause as the newly married couple walked over to the dance floor and the band started to play the song they had chosen to be their first dance, which was 'Home' by Phillip Phillips. After the song finished with a kiss from Shawn and Rory, Shawn moved back into the crowd a bit and Luke stepped forward when the opening cords to 'Butterfly Kisses' by Bob Carlile played. Luke gently twirled her around the dance floor, at the end of the song Zach and Gil switched over to their acoustic guitars and started playing 'Over the Rainbow' from the 'Wizard of Oz' while Richard and Rory danced. Emily and Lorelai both watched with tears in their eyes. At the end of the song it was time for the mother and son dance to which Shawn chose 'There You'll Be' by Faith Hill for him and Amy. Neither Zach or Gil thought they could do it justice so Kirk who was set up to DJ during dinner played it for them. As the inner circle of friends and family heard the song there wasn't a dry eye in the group. The lyrics described Shawn and Amy's relationship to a T. To the people that didnt really know Amy wasn't Shawn's biological mother just thought it was a son paying tribute to his mother, but to the family and friends that knew them knew it was much more than that. Amy had tears running down as they finished the song and grabbed Shawn for a tight hug, which Shawn returned with an equal amount of tears and hugged her just as fiercely.

"Thank you Mom for everything you've done for me my whole life. I know I don't say it a lot but you are my mother, and I love you." Said Shawn.

"I love you too Honey, you've always been mine your whole life."

After the songs were finished Rory and Shawn greeted as many people as they could before finally sitting down to eat the amazing meal Sookie had put together. The couple had pretty much given Sookie free reign over the meal they tasted a few new dishes she had put together but knowing Rory pretty much her whole life and getting to know Shawn she was able to pick out some of their favorites and made a buffet of it so everyone got to have what they wanted. Rory and Shawn wanted a simple wedding and that's what they had that afternoon. After lunch/dinner was served it was time for the speeches.

"Ladies and Gentlemen it is time for the speeches. Lane." Said Gil.

"Hi Guys, I'm Lane and I have known Rory since we were 5. I think I spent more time with Rory and Lorelai at their house than I did my own. We did everything together even dressing up like pilgrims until high school for the fall festivals. It was great when Rory went to Chilton cause I meant I got to give her a list of CDs in Hartford I wanted and she could get them for me. We were there for each other through breakups and failed tests and just about everything a teenager goes through. And even though she was at Yale and going through her own rough times she made sure she was there when my kids were born. I was so happy when she told me she had met Shawn cause I feel like she met her match, especially when my mother interrogated him and he just said 'Yes Ma'am'. So I want to say congratulations to my friends on their special day, and I wish you guys many years of happiness, and Shawn remember to leave your phone out around the kids cause good things happen. I love you guys. Cory?"

"Hey, I'm Shawn's brother and best friend Cory. We've been with each other through a lot. Family, messing up Eric's life, scaring Morgan's boyfriends, school, dating, girlfriends, marriage, kids. And now I get to see Shawn go through it all, and I'll always have his back like he had mine. We used to get in trouble when we were kids, like stupid stuff, we walked out of school that was my fault, but no matter what 'surveys' we got we faced them together. Some of our best times was when we were trying to actively annoy Mr. Feeny or Jon. I can't wait to see what life has in store for you guys and we'll have your back 100%, just like always." Shawn stood up and hugged Cory.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

The evening wore on with the music alternating between the band and Kirk. When the cake came out everyone was amazed at it. It was a three tier cake with laced piping down the side and decorative flowers to match Rory's bouquet. The couple gently fed each other the cake and then sat down to enjoy their slices. When they looked over to the tables seeing all their friends and family they noticed that April and Morgan had started a friendship and Madeline who had broken up with Louise's brother-in-law had taken a since to Harley.

"We did good." Said Shawn.

"Yeah we did." Said Rory noticing Finn and Colin approaching them. "Hey Guys, having fun?"

"Of course, you make a beautiful bride Rory." Said Finn.

"Thank you, did you guys get enough to eat?"

"More than, Sookie has out done herself tonight." Said Colin.

"Good I'm glad."

"So the reason I came over here was to give you this, your wedding present. Now I don't know if you already have a honeymoon planned, so if you do use this to take another vacation."

"Actually we were thinking of coming up to Vermont for the week of 4th of July." Said Shawn.

"Well postpone that and take this instead. I invested in a place in Greece and when I saw it I thought it would be perfect for you two. It's run by a family they are amazing people and the view is amazing." Finn handed them an envelope.

"The Hotel Bella Donna." Said Rory reading the card.

"Its on a small island but like I said the people are amazing and the views well you'll never see anything like this." Said Finn.

"What do you think?" Asked Rory.

"Looks like we're going to Greece."

"Great I knew you'd say that now this is where Colin comes in." Said Finn.

"When you decide to leave call Frank like the day before, he'll take you to the airport and you guys will be flying on my private jet."

"You don't have to do that Colin." Said Shawn.

"I know but I want to. So congratulations and have fun."

"Thank you Colin." Said Rory getting up to give both men a hug while Shawn shook their hands.

The rest of the wedding was filled with dancing, laughter, and fun. Soon it was time for it to all come to an end. Rory and Shawn tired from the whole day retreated to their room that was the separate honeymoon suite.

"I can't believe we actually did it." Said Rory.

"I know and now we have our whole life together to convince each other we did. So when do you want to leave for Greece?"

"I can't believe them two but on the other hand I do believe it. Anytime you want if you still want to go to Vermont like we planned we can."

"We can go to Vermont any time except in winter, when are we going to get an opportunity to go to Greece like this?"

"So you want to leave the day after tomorrow, I'll call Frank in the morning?"

"Yeah, so who's this Frank guy?"

"He's the LDB driver pretty much. Colin gave Mom his card for me."

"So do you want to bring the gifts home tomorrow and then leave from there?"

"Yeah that sounds good. They're going to bring everything over to Mom and Luke's so why don't we go open everything there and then we'll fill up the cars and bring it back home."

"Deal, now get over here so we can consummate this party we had." Said Shawn with a smile.

They spent the night becoming husband and wife and then got up around 10 the next morning to go to Luke and Lorelai's to have breakfast and open the gifts that people were told not to get but did anyway.

Rory called Frank and asked him to pick them up the next morning in New York, to which he was happy to agree.

So they loaded up Rory's car to the brim and with the Matthews' family plus 1 headed back to New York City married and ready to start their life.
