The day of the wedding, Rory woke up and looked at the time, 10:00. She leapt up and grabbed a robe, she walked out to the kitchen where Lorelai was sitting at the table. "MOM! Why didn't you wake me up earlier!"
"Calm down, the wedding isn't until 1:00" Lorelai said. Rory paused.
"Your ready already aren't you." Lorelai started flipping through a magazine. "MOM! I can't believe you, you said lastnight that you were going to wake me up so we could get ready together!"
"I'm sorry, I thought I'd let you sleep."
"I have to take a shower, don't think we're done with this young lady!" Rory said. "Yes ma'am." Lorelai said. Rory went to take a shower. When she was out it was 11:13 she put on the pink robe with flying pigs
on it she got for her birthday one year and started blow drying her hair. Her mother knocked on the door. "Rory, I have your dress." She said. Rory opened the door.
"I don't know what to do with my hair." Rory said.
"Ok, I'll help." Lorelai said turning on the curling iron. "You tell me how life after college is going." She asked.
"Well it's good, I like new york, but it's too far away. I miss you, and Luke."
"We miss you too, especially Babett, she's been asking about you."
"Aw, and you told her..."
"You joined a convent and shaved all your hair off."
"Oh of course." Rory said, Lorelai started parting Rory's hair, she pulled the front of it back and she tied it like she did at Sookie's wedding, the curling iron was done so Lorelai started curling the bottom of Rory's hair. She made perfect curls at the bottom and put tons of hair spray in it. "Thanks, Mrs. Danes." Lorelai smiled.
"Your welcome, now I'm supposed to be getting dressed at Ms. Patty's are you doing the same?" Lorelai asked.
"No, I'm going to put my dress on and put my brown long jacket over it."
"Perfect. ok, help me get the dress in the bag." Lorelai said pulling out her wedding dress. Rory unzipped the bag and tried to slip the dress in without getting the dress ripped or caught. By the time Rory got her dress on it was 12:30. They ran out the door. Rory got in the jeep and the sped off to Ms. Patty's dance studio which had been transformed for Lorelai as a dressing room, Rory and Ms. Patty helped Lorelai in the dress while Lorelai touched up her perfect makeup.
"You look beautiful mom. I can't believe your going to marry Luke, you two have been in love since we came to stars hollow." Rory said. Lorelai smiled not saying a word she looked in the mirror trying to get a full view of herself. "Mom I'm going to find Lane. I'll be back."
"Okay, don't be late." She said.
"Don't worry I'll see you before you walk down the aisle." Rory said, she flattened the orange dress and left. Walking down the warm summer stars hollow street she looked at everyone in the square waiting for her mom, not paying attention she ran into someone. "Whoa, sorry. I wasn- Jess?" She asked.
"Rory. Hi." He said.
"H-how have you been?" she stumbled, she and Jess were friendly but to see him after the long period of time away stunned her- he had gotten even more cute then she had remembered.
"I've been good. Published a new book." Jess said putting his hands in his black coat.
"You look snappy today!" She said smiling and looking at his outfit.
"Yeah, well weddings do call for suits." he said.
"Yeah. Wow, well we should catch up today... or some other time."
"How long are you in town for?" Jess asked.
"I have to house sit and dog sit while mom and Luke are on their honeymoon so I guess a week and a half." She said.
"Cool, so am I." he added.
"Fun, well you know where to find me if you need to escape the people of stars hollow." Rory said nervously.
"Yeah, I may take you up on that, actually. My gnome stealing days are over so what else is there to do in this town but hang out with someone you love being with."
"I'll see you at the reception. I have to go do the whole wedding thing." Rory said, Lane ran up and handed Rory her flowers. She smiled and waved at Jess, he nodded in return.
"Luke Danes, do you take Lorelai to be your wife?" Reverend Skinner asked.
"I do." Luke said putting a ring on Lorelai's finger.
"And do you, Lorelai take Luke to be your husband?" He asked again.
"Well there isn't any way I can get out of it now, I do." she said, there was a small amount of laughter in the audience, she slid the ring on Luke's finger.
"I now pronounce you, man and wife. Luke you may kiss the bride." He said, Luke smiled and kissed Lorelai. There was clapping and crying. Luke and Lorelai walked down the aisle and told everyone to move to the other side of the square for food, dancing and fun.
"Rory!" Jess yelled over the loud music trying to get her attention, he grabbed her wrist gently.
"Oh, hey!" She yelled back, the went to the gazebo and sat down on the bench.
"You look beautiful today." He said.
"Thanks, you look handsome yourself."
"Ha, you know lying is bad for your complexion." Jess said.
"I'm not lying. Jess, we were going so well, why did you leave."
"Luke made me. I couldn't face saying goodbye to you. I'd never get on the bus. I loved you... no, I love you Rory, I still do." Before he could say anything Rory kissed him, she pulled away quickly.
"I love you too. When you came to visit me, at yale, I couldn't just leave. I had yale. I couldn't just drop everything and leave with you, even though I wanted to, so bad." "I'm sorry for everything I did." Jess said.
"I forgive you. I'll tell you what, come by the house tomorrow around 12 and we can talk then." "Rory." Lorelai said from the dance floor. "I'll see you later, Jess." Rory said and walked over to her mom.
"Dance with me." She demanded. As they were dancing Lorelai looked at Jess who was staring at them and then looked down as he saw Lorelai caught him. "So, what's going on with you and Jess?" Lorelai asked Rory.
"What? Oh, nothing we were just catching up."
"I still don't like that jerk."
"Mom, you don't know him, we had this problem before."
"Come on, you don't have a thing for your COUSIN do you?" Lorelai said with a shocked face. Rory looked disgusted.
"EW mom! Don't refer to him as my cousin again!" Rory said.
"Thats ok, Gran married her cousin!" Rory said.
"That was only to keep the bloodlines pure. Your kids will have eleven toes!" Lorelai made fun.
"Oh shut up" Rory said and smiled. The rest of the night they danced and at 12:00 the party ended. Rory, Luke and Lorelai went home and left for the honeymoon. Rory went to sleep around 3:45 and woke up at 10:00. She took a shower and put on a brown skirt with a blue top. Her hair was still curly from the night before. As soon as she finished pouring some coffee in her mug there was a knock on the door.
"Come in" She yelled, Jess walked in and sat down on the sofa. Rory sat next to him. There was an akward silence before Jess pounced and started kissing Rory. Neither of them wanted to stop. So they didn't. Before they knew it, they were wrapped in the sheets of Rory's bed.
