Rory also got a job threw Mitchum under the Penn name Leigh Danes and was writing many articles for 2 of the news paper's the Huntzburger family owned, She was also getting close to being done with her book and Mitchum was helping her find a publisher for it. Rory's room was also being turned into the nursery for Baby Richard "Richie" since she was in Logan's room full time now. Rory was also ready to get married and started hinting to Logan and had even told Finn hoping he would tell Logan. Well Finn had told Logan and Logan also got the hint's and he knew he had to ask Lorelai, Luke, Christopher and Emily's permission before he could even ask Rory. Lorelai asked if he had the ring and he told her the story of the ring, Lorelei gave her permission, Emily Said yes right away saying he didn't need to ask since it was always yes, Luke said yes and Christopher said yes as long as he was good to Rory and filmed the proposal.
Logan phoned the boys and got them to meet at Colin's to come up with a plan

"I have an idea and she will never suspect anything" Colin said
"Now I believe you owe us some scotch" Finn said
"Yes boy's lets celebrate" Logan said

Tonight is one of Honor and Logan's family friends weddings, Logan, Rory, Colin, Robert and Finn where invited by the bride and groom.
Rory was wearing a beautiful Blue and White Ombre dress (One Logan had sent her for valentines day) and a pair of light blue heels Colin had bought for her and a simple Diamond necklace and earring's, Logan wore a Black suit with a tie that matched the blue on Rory's dress. They looked amazing together, Her dress even showed off her bump without making it too pronounced, and she was comfortable.
"Ace, Come for some air with me please," Logan asked
"Sure, it is getting warm in here," Rory said
They walked from the reception room into one of the dressing rooms where Logan stopped and held both of her hand's
"Rory, You know I love you right?" Logan asked
"Yes, of course, I love you too," Rory says
"I know you do, Do you realize this is the very room we had our first kiss in?" Logan asks
"Ya it seems like so long ago," Rory says
"Rory, You amaze me still after all these years, Every day. Everything that you do. Everything that you are. The past few months I realized that I still don't know a lot, But I know I still love you and always have, and I want to be with you, Forever. Rory Gilmore (Logan gets down on one knee) My amazing friend, My one true love, Will you marry me?"
"YES, YES 1000 TIMES YES," Rory says loudly
"Oh thank god, I thought you where going to say no" Logan said
"It's about time you asked. The ring is beautiful" Rory said
"It's a family Heirloom, It was my great grandmother's engagement ring, then my grandmother's and then Elias gave it to me to give to the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with" Logan said
"This isn't the ring that." Logan cut Rory off
"No, Odette knew about the ring but she never got her hands on it or near it, It was always going to be for you" Logan said
"Wow, so you always knew it was me?" Rory asked
"Yes, from the day I laid my eyes on you" Logan said
"Oh you big old romantic you" Rory said
"I think we should go announce it now" Logan said
"Isn't that bad at someone else's wedding?" Rory asked
"I told them the story of your grandparents renewal and I was going to ask you here and they said if you said yes we should announce it here" Logan said
"Wow, they must really like you" Rory said
"Ya they do, I taught them how to really party" Logan said
"Oh and the proposal was filmed at your dads request" Logan said
"Good thing I didn't try to get frisky" Rory said
"Ya Finn and the camera would have gotten a show" Logan said
Logan and Rory walked back into the reception hiding Rory's left hand until he could give the nod to the bride and groom that she said yes.
"Hello everyone, With the bride and grooms permission I Logan huntzburgers and Rory Gilmore have an announcement, If you haven't all noticed Rory and I are expecting a baby but that's not the only new's, I asked her to marry me tonight and she said yes"
Everyone cheered and congratulated them as they walk into the crowd of people, A song played Moon river Logan held his hand out to Rory and she took his hand and they danced, She whispered into his ear "You remembered after all these years", He whispered back "How could I forget the first time you asked me to dance". Once the song was over Logan took Rory's hand for a dance the song Back to black came on and they danced the tango, Colin chose to let Rory sit for a bit then asked to her to dance to come what may then Logan danced to give your heart a break, It was much like the beginning of their relationship. By the end of the night Rory was danced out and tired.
4 weeks pass may 6th
Today is Rory's surprise baby shower that her mom planned in stars hollow, Logan wash shocked at who all came. Tomorrow was the Society Baby shower that his mom and Emily had planned, Neither of them even wanted to go but it was an obligation since it was a baby shower for their son. Over the last few weeks Logan had the nursery painted and set up waiting for the arrival of baby Ritchie. Her grandmother and Shira had also been all over them about getting married before the baby was born but neither of them wanted Rory to be 9 months pregnant in the photo's, Emily's excuse for the rush was because "its not suitable in society to be married after you have a baby it must be done in the pregnancy if you get pregnant out of wedlock" and shira's excuse was that the baby would not be a huntzburgers at birth it would be a Gilmore and Rory wouldn't give him the Huntzburger name if she wasn't one also, Rory and Logan had already decided the baby would have the Huntzburger last name and they would marry after his birth. They did start talking wedding details and start looking at wedding party attire, Music choices, guest list and whatever else they could do with no date set.
The next day may 7th
Today is the society baby shower, All the ladies from the DAR, Logan and Rory's friends from the society side of the group, Friends of Emily and Shira's and Mitchum's business acquaintances wife's where all at the baby shower for little Ritchie. The men gave Logan envelopes with cheques in them and the women gave present's. They got 2 diaper bag's a Burberry and a Gucci, a Fendi stroller, a ton of designer baby clothing/blankets/accessories, designer cloth diapers (Like $400 each one). Rory was shocked at the stuff they got, the stroller alone cost more then what she was planning on spending on a wedding dress but she knew that its just the way things are done in society.
