“JESS, I DON’T WANT TOtalk about it.” lorelai is off doing so hiking experience that luke isn’t familiar with and he’s beyond worried that lorelai’s new life discovery isn’t going to include him.
they’re already married, he knows this. they stood right where he’s standing and said their formal ‘i dos’ and became man && wife, but there’s SOMETHING about the way his wife looks walking down the aisle in the same blush dress she bought nine years ago. luke refuses to look away from his bride, he’s trying to commit this moment to memory- although he’s aware that emily hired a photographer for the big day. they’re is nothing like watching lorelai walk towards him, it’s rare that you get to see the love of your life walk down the aisle twice.
“I HAVE NO IDEA,” she shakes her head, a broad grin on her lips as she gazes at him with such adoration. “but you did say i’m not allowed out of this unless it’s in a BODY-BAG, i hope you realize the same goes for you, so we’re gonna figure it out. TOGETHER.” it’s almost funny how easy everything is with luke. she’s even dancing without stepping on his feet. sure, sometimes they fight, but everything’s always okay in the end. lorelai’s not sure she’s ever felt as secure as she does right now, dancing with her HUSBAND. god, luke’s her husband! “i hope you know,” god, and she’s gonna cry while she’s speaking, too. so much for not being a total wreck, “i —– i hope you know that i’ve NEVER been happier. i mean, maybe when rory was born, but in the last three decades, i’ve never been happier than i am right now. this is going down FOREVER as one of the best days of my life. marrying you? it’s —- it’s not even like a dream come true, luke. it IS a dream come true,” her eyes are filled with joyful tears, and her smile WIDENS as he calls her MRS DANES ( something she previously would’ve thought impossible ). “ you know something else? i could REALLY get used to hearing that,”
“ TOGETHER, ” he repeats. them being together is the MOST important thing to luke at this moment and for the past nine years. they’ve been through so much in the past; from the moment the horoscope hit his hand, he didn’t have a chance of making it work with anyone else but her. he tried, as did lorelai. luke watched as she got engaged to another man and marry a different one. luke has had his own failed marriage, but compared to what he FEELS right now, does his marriage to nicole even count anymore? " you are the best dream come true. this is so much more than i could ever imagine. i never thought we would make it here, that we would be saying i do. ”
he’s heard the same dare FOUR times in the past two months. every time rory appears at the door and they get a moment alone, she gives him the same statement.
‘ask mom to marry you’
each time, he answers with ‘we’re happy as we are’
“ Rory, ” he warned with a raised eyebrow. “ not this again. ”
