Luke and Lorelai’s first wedding anniversary is also the day we decided to give you the first chapter of the fluffy fanfiction we talked about a while ago. We received quite a few prompts, which we worked into the story as well as we could. The writing process is not finished yet, but we decided we would share the first chapter with you anyhow - it’s a special occasion today. Unfortunately, we can’t give any guarantees when the next chapter will be ready to read.

The first chapter is mostly based on our headcanons for the wedding, a headcanon/ficlet about the horoscope, and another ask about the wedding night. There’s also a mention of a headcanon from lucyxjessiey: hopefully, you caught that and we will get to the headcanon in a different chapter. 

All that’s left to say is, we hope you enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 1 - First Day

They did it. After two engagements, living together for years, nine years of being in a relationship, eleven in total, after two breakups, and two decades of knowing each other they were finally married. Husband and wife. Lawfully wedded to each other, and that twice within twelve hours. Two weddings were better than one.

Even though the party had been a smashing hit, Lorelai was relieved to be home alone with her husband. The past two days had been exhausting, asking her to give everything she had. One coffee was consumed after the other to make her stand upright, but she was happy to finally sit back and do nothing. No more smiling for the camera, no more standing straight in the million different dresses she and Miss Celine had designed. No more duty stuff, just fun stuff.

The wedding had been fun though. Everybody had been there, Sookie had been the biggest surprise of them all. The cakes she had made were delicious; there were still left-overs, which Lorelai had brought along for the little honeymoon Luke and she would have tomorrow. With all the party planning in the last couple of days, there had been no time to plan an actual honeymoon. A quiet day without any interruption was all they could afford at the moment. Plans for a proper honeymoon would need to be revisited at a later time.
