Part 1 (Prelude)

"...to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" Luke looks intently at Lorelai. "I do." Lorelai smiles back.

"And do you, Lorelai, take Luke to be your lawfully-wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for bettter, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" Lorelai continues to smile at Luke and then looks to the crowd, seeing familiar faces smiling back. Then she sees Christopher, who stares at her intently. Her smile fades, locking her gaze with his. Just then, a distant ringing sounds. Lorelai continues to look at Christopher, who now sits next to Rory, who is looking on with a neutral expression. The ringing sound continues, getting louder and louder. Lorelai is frozen.

Lorelai jumps up in her bed, gasping. She wakes up to the sound of the alarm clock ringing. She reaches for it in an attempt to turn it off. "Ugh, can you get any louder?" Lorelai says groggily. A few attempts later, she stops the ringing. She sighs and stares at the ceiling, emotionless. Then, she moves a hand up to her face, examining the back of it. She slowly lowers it to her stomach and continues to stare at the ceiling.
