Aaron is a character of mine. He's the best man and Jess's nephew. Juliann is the flower girl.

...lllll...

Lorelai and all of the bridesmaids stood together in one of the upstairs rooms in the inn changing into their dresses and fixing their hair and make-up. Sookie, Lane, Mrs. Patty and Rory we're all slipping into their dresses and Lorelai was working on her make-up. Emily had taken over in the kitchen for the moment to keep everyone out of the food for the reception following the ceremony. After everyone got into their dresses they all walked over to Lorelai and started helping her put the finishing touches on her hair and make up. When they we're finished Rory smiled at her mom.

"You look beautiful, mom," Rory said, smiling at her mom in the full length mirror Lorelai was standing in front of.

"Thanks," Lorelai said, leaning down and kissing Rory's forehead.

Luke, Jess, Zack, Michel, Aaron and Taylor we're in another room getting ready. It didn't take them long to get into their tuxedos and they we're ready to go. Jess would be walking with Rory, Zack with Lane, Michel with Sookie, Aaron with Juliann and Taylor with Miss Patty. Aaron was the ring bearer.

A half an hour later the ceremony was ready to start. Paris, Tristan and Jordan we're all sitting in chairs waiting for the ceremony to start. Luke was waiting impatiently at the very end of the long aisle from where Rory and Jess we're standing, waiting for the music to start to signal for them to walk forward. Aaron and Juliann we're just a few feet in front of them, getting ready to walk out first. The whole place was decorated with pink rose, white roses with blue tips and lilies. There we're beautiful pink, white and blue ribbon and lace decorations all over the place. It looked spectacular. Rory saw Dean and Lindsey seated in a row of the chairs close to the back. Emily was sitting in the front row on the side reserved for the bride's family. The music started, the same wedding song that Rory had heard at just about every wedding. Juliann and Aaron began slowly walking down the aisle toward where the preacher and Luke stood waiting. Juliann pulled handfuls of pink and white rose petals out of her little basket and tossed them around on the ground as she made her way down the aisle. When they got to the front of the aisle, Aaron turned and walked over to stand beside Luke while Juliann turned and walked in the opposite direction to the place where the rest of the bridesmaids would line up beside her. Jess and Rory we're next. They had almost made it all the way down the aisle without any conversation until they passed where Tristan was sitting.

"Is he your new boyfriend?" Jess whispered, glancing quickly in Tristan's direction. Rory forced herself to continue smiling as she walked further up the aisle. A few more steps and she wouldn't have to be walking with her arm linked through his anymore.

"I don't know," Rory replied, giving Tristan a small smile, "maybe." Jess laughed and rolled his eyes as they got closer to the preacher who was going to perform the ceremonies.

...lllll...

Directly following the ceremony everyone went back into the inn and the reception was started. Everyone complimented on Sookie's appetizers and the cake was delicious. After everyone had eaten the dancing began. Rory was standing with Tristan when Dean walked over to her. Rory looked up at him.

"Dean, hi," Rory said, nervously glancing at Tristan.

"Uh, hi," Dean replied, glancing at Tristan before turning his attention back toward Rory, "Could I talk to you for minute?" Rory nodded and glanced at Tristan before walking with Dean out of the inn so they could talk privately.

"I just wanted to apologize for the way things happened," Dean said, the sadness showing in his eyes as he looked down at Rory, "I never meant to hurt you or Lindsey." Rory nodded and gave him a small hug.

"I know," Rory said, "It will take awhile but I'll get past it." Rory turned and started to walk back into the inn but was stopped by Dean's hand on her arm.

"Your the first girl I ever really loved," Dean replied. Rory could feel the tears that came to her eyes and knew she was going to start crying any second.

"You we're the first boy I ever loved," Rory replied, breaking free of his grasp and walking back into the room and back to Tristan.

...llll...

A couple hours later Tristan and Rory we're sitting together on the top step that led up to the porch that wrapped around the inn. Tristan grabbed Rory's hand and squeezed it gently.

"It's all going to work out," Tristan said, smiling down at her, "because I love you." Rory was surprised to hear him say the words. She had never even heard of him saying things like that before.

"I love you too," Rory said, leaning closer to him and kissing his lips softly. It was the first time she had ever said those words to a boy when she didn't have to think before she said them. This time she just knew.

...lllll...
