A Life and Death Love

Chapter 18: The Wedding Reception

The wedding party made their way into the tent for the reception. They lined up as the music stopped. "For the first time, please help me welcome Mr. and Mrs. Logan and Rory Huntzberger."

They entered the tent as A thousand years by Christina Perri played. Everyone stood and cheered. They walked to their table as the food was being served. 

Logan couldn't take his eyes off his wife. They ate dinner, and now it was being announced it was time to cut the cake. 

Logan whispered in Rory's ear seductively, "when I smash this into your mouth, and you smash yours into mine, we can just clean each other."

They cut their cake and feed each other with just a little on each other's lips. Logan leaned in and licked the cake off her lips, and Rory did the same to him. Everyone was cheering and saying vulgar things as they were all laughing. Now it was time for toasts.

Lorelai was the first up. "So, today my one and only daughter got married to Logan. Now, Logan and I haven't always seen eye to eye. I know he loves my daughter, and I know she loves him. I have never seen her happier than she is with Logan. So, everyone, please raise your glass, and let's congratulate our happy couple. To Logan and Rory, wishing you many years of happiness. Logan, you are now a part of our family. So, I now say to you, good luck." She laughed and walked away.

Christopher was next, "I knew Logan loved my daughter the first time I saw him look at her, the way his eyes stayed connected to hers, and the way they moved together so easily as if they were one body. Rory, and Logan I wish you nothing but the best. To Rory and Logan." He took a drink and then walked away. 

Next up was Mitchum, "Rory changed my son. She made him grow up and be a better man. There were some disagreements about Rory that unfortunately weren't in her favor but no matter what Logan loved her. Rory, I want to personally thank you for making Logan the man he is today. Today we welcome a new daughter into our family. So, here's to many, many years of happiness." Everyone raised their glasses as he made his way back to his table. 

Next up was Finn, "So, one day we are looking for the love of my life, or so I thought. I believe I found her room but instead, it was Love's room. That is the moment I knew these two belonged together fate kept bringing them back to each other. First, it was the hallway, next a story love here was working on, then a party at her grandparents where I begged love to choose me, and last was her grandparent's vow renewal. That was it they were hooked. Logan here was head over heels in love with mother. Even in the eight years these two spent separated neither of them was happy, but they were both too stubborn to tell each other how they truly felt. Mother and I have a weekly ritual for Friday lunches in New York. We have done that for the last six years, and hopefully, we will be able to continue. I have known Logan since I was in diapers and I can honestly say Rory is the best thing to happen to my best mate. We aren't losing a friend we are gaining a father. (Everyone laughed) To my best mates congratulations, I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness. I love you both." He raised his glass as everyone cheered, Rory had tears in her eyes. She jumped up and hugged Finn. 

Colin followed Finn, "We started calling Rory our mother because she kept us safe, out of trouble, and made sure we made it home every night. I am so happy you two finally made it here and I look forward to witnessing your future together. I have been lucky enough to have witnessed your past from the very beginning. From when we first met you at the coffee cart to your wedding day. I love you both, and I wish you nothing but a lifetime of happiness. To mother and our new father." Colin walked over and gave Rory a hug. "Love you, baby girl." 

Next was Robert, "We have already warned Logan that if anything happens, we will kick his ass. You protected us all those wild years and countless times making sure we made it home now it's our turn to do the same for you. So, if you and Rory split up Rory gets custody of all of us. All jokes aside I am so happy for you both and truly wish you nothing but two lifetimes of happiness. Mother, we love you and would do absolutely anything for you, So everyone please raise your glass to congratulate my two favorite people." He also walked over and hugged Rory.
