A/N Review please! I'm dying to know what you guys think. You're either going to love them, or hate them. If you hate them I'm really sorry but I was having trouble thinking what Lorelai would want. Review if you have ideas or comments!
Rory awoke the next morning and stumbled into the kitchen where Lorelai handed her a cup of coffee. "Mom?" She began.
"Yeah?"
"January 15, it's so-"
"Soon?" Lorelai finished smiling. "I know but we can pull it off, 3 months, and it's not like we have to worry about booking anywhere, I made sure the Inn is free."
"Okay, can I help with something?" Rory begged.
"You need to pick out a maid of honor dress." Lorelai said. Rory gave her a big hug. "Oh, and we should make an invite list! Who should we invite?" Lorelai paused then began answering her own question. "Well of course, Sookie, Jackson, Michel, Christopher, Sherry, Patty, Babette, Paris, Lane, Dean…"
"Dean?" Rory questioned.
"Duh!" Lorelai said.
"But, what about Luke?"
"He'll be so busy they won't even see each other."
"But, but Jess? Is he coming? Are you sure inviting Dean is wise?"
"Yes, if Jess is coming we are DEFINITELY inviting Dean!"
"Mom!"
"Anyway," Lorelai continued. "He's your boyfriend you can't just NOT invite him."
"Okay, I guess you're right…" Rory gave in.
"I mean you do want him to come, right?" Lorelai questioned.
"Of course! I'm going to go meet him at Luke's for breakfast. Yes, he actually agreed to go to Luke's that's a good sign. I'll be back this afternoon to pack up and go back to school."
"I'll be out designing my invitations!" Lorelai said grinning. They hugged and said goodbye. Rory ended the conversation with a threat, "You better email me a picture of those invitations!"
Rory walked into Luke's Diner and took a seat. "Coffee!" She wailed.
Luke walked over to her. "Are you seriously trying to convince me that you made it until 11:30, without a cup of coffee yet?"
"Maybe…"
"How many cups have you had?"
"One! Just one! I sware!"
"Fine, you're lucky I'm in a good mood today."
"January 15th?"
"January 15th" He confirmed.
Luke went to get some coffee as Dean walked into the diner. "Dean," Rory began. "You have to work things out with Luke. I'm not saying it's your fault, but they set a date. Soon, Luke will be my stepfather and you're going to have to see a lot of him, ok?"
"Okay" Dean said, he really was willing to try. Dean and Luke's relationship had a chance, purely because Luke would do anything to please Lorelai, or Rory, and Dean would do anything to please Rory or even Lorelai.
"Thank you. Now, January 15th." Rory said.
"Their wedding date?" It was sort of cute how Dean could understand Rory even when she did not form complete sentences.
"Yup. So can you come?" Rory said. "I'm the maid of honor." She was full of pride.
"Of course. I wouldn't miss it."
"You're the best." Rory said and gave him a kiss.
Rory and Dean had a nice morning together, and that afternoon she drove back to Yale. She sat down by her computer, about to work on her Literary Essay, when an email popped up. It was the invitation. Rory wasn't sure it was going to be something, original, interesting an unique or it was going to be elegant and beautiful. Yet, once Rory opened the email, she felt stupid she hadn't trusted her mom to make the most amazing combination. It was sort of like an M+M wrapper. But it was nice; it was on real invitation paper and the M+M design was on it, but instead of the Ms, there were two L's. The first was a blue L, that said uke inside. After, the and symbol came a sparkly pink L, with orelai written inside. Underneath the L's was all of the information. Rory loved it, because it was strange. But it was Lorelai.
When Lorelai showed Luke that day, she began with, "If you hate them, we can take them back."
Luke looked at them, and at first he wasn't sure. Then he looked closer, and he knew that when he looked at these invitations, he thought of Lorelai. Luke knew these invitations were perfect, because Lorelai was not her mother. She didn't need elegance, and she didn't mind when things were tacky. She loved to smile, and make others smile and that was exactly what the invitations did.
