Planning Again Chapter 12
Rory, Lorelai, Emily, and Lane were sitting in the Crap Shack kitchen. "So, Jess and I thought we would get married on the bridge. We can use Mom's chuppah to stand under." Emily gasped, "You absolutely cannot get married on a bridge." "Grandma..." "NO! You are not getting married on a bridge. You should get married in a cathedral, with hundreds of roses, and ice sculptures and lace everywhere." "Mom, she can get married where she wants to." Lorelai interjected. "Lorelai, make her be reasonable." Rory exchanged a look with Lane. "Grandma, Jess and I had our first and only date on that bridge. He bought my basket and we sat out there and talked. It's our favorite spot in the entire town. I mean, it was the first time Jess had ever been pushed into a lake, too. It means a lot to us. It will be so romantic, with the water and everything. That's where we want it. It holds a lot of memories." "Fine." Lorelai gave Rory a sympathetic glance. Emily continued, "Now colors. I was thinking red and blue would be absolutely beautiful." "I like the blue, Grandma, but I would like to have pink, instead of red. I wore pink on our first wedding day." "Why am I here, Rory? You already have your wedding planned." Rory thought to herself, 'because I'm already married." Instead of saying that though, she said, "You have some great ideas, Grandma. I want you here. We can go dress shopping." "Really?" "Yes." "Well, let's go then. I'll call Charles and tell the driver to come pick us up." Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Why don't we just drive ourselves, Mom." "Well, alright, I guess." Emily headed out the door, excitedly, the others following slowly behind.
Three bridal stores later, Rory found her dress. It was beautiful. There were small off-the-shoulder straps connected to a tight bodice, which flowed into a silk skirt. The bodice had small sequins placed in various places. It fit Rory perfectly. She also found the bridesmaids dresses. Each one would be a long, halter dress. Lorelai in sky blue, Lane in light pink and Rory was going to ask Paris to be her other bridesmaid, who would wear a darker shade of blue. "These are it, Mom." "I know." "Can we order them today? Jess and I still need to pick our wedding date." "Let's just tell them to have them in by mid-July, okay?" "Yes!" Rory rushed to the desk excitedly to order her dress, and everyone elses too. The girls left the store and headed back to Stars Hollow.
Jess was waiting for Rory when she got home. He questioned, "So, how did it go?" "Alright. You're going to marry me on the bridge in the most amazing dress." "I'll be wearing a dress?" Rory smiled, "No, I'll be wearing the amazing dress. I found the perfect one today." "Great. This is really making you happy, isn't it?" "Yeah. Hey! We'll have two anniversaries." "Definitely a plus." "So, I've been thinking of dates?" "Mhm..." Jess mumbled as he began to nibble on Rory's ear. "I was thinking August 2, 5 months after our first wedding. Jess, STOP THAT!" Jess was moving his lips down her neck. "Stop what? August-kiss-2-kiss-is- kiss-fine-kiss." Rory turned to him. "Fine. You win. We'll talk about the rest of the wedding stuff tomorrow." "I love you, Rory." "Me too." She wrestled his mouth with hers, attacking all of his senses at once. Jess supressed a smile as she growled at him. She lightly swatted his chest. "Don't be mad." "Yeah, yeah. I just want to get the wedding planned." "We can stop if you like." "No thanks." They continued to kiss softly.
The next morning, Rory woke up to find Jess sleeping peacefully. She studied his face, the lines around his mouth, his five o'clock shadow; he actually had a small smile on his face. He looked like he was having a good dream. Rory press her lips against his and started to brush away a stray hair from his forehead. His dark brown eyes opened slowly. "Good morning." "Hello, Jess. Today Mom and I are going to go taste cakes at the bakery. You want to come?" "I thought Sookie was making our cake." "Oh, she is. We just want some free samples." "That's very naughty, Rory." "It's fun. We did it before, when my mom was going to marry Max." "Max?" "My English teacher. They were engaged, but my mom ran out on him a couple days before the wedding." "Oh... Alright. Should we get ready?" "Soon, very soon." Jess nodded and closed his eyes again.
Christopher had returned to Boston to be with Sherry and their new daughter Rachel. Luke, Jess, Lorelai and Rory were at the bakery. Luke began his lecture, "This is wrong, Lorelai." "Oh, no, it isn't." "Look at the example you are setting for your daughter." Rory said in a child's voice, "Yes, Bad Mommy." Lorelai and Rory giggled. Luke suppressed a smiled. He did not want to let them know he was amused by their insanity. Jess was holding Rory's hand, tracing her life lines on her palm. The two exchanged loving looks with each other. Fran came over. "Here, try these. Have you made any decisions yet?" Lorelai shook her head, "Oh, you really take care of us, Fran. Can I have some more coffee flavored chocolate cake over here?" Luke muttered, "Shameless." "Of course, Sweetie." Fran headed back into the kitchen and brought out two samples of the coffee cake. "Thanks, Fran." The two girls continued to eat their cake samples, the boy watching the sadness.
Rory and Jess were walking on the bridge. "So, I thought we could put the chuppah that Luke made at the end of the bridge. I'll walk along the bridge and we'll have the ceremony under the chuppah. Hey, do you think Father Destin could come and reperform the ceremony? If not, Reverand Nichols can always do it, but you know it'd be nice to have him come up here." "I'll call and ask him. So, you said you wanted us to pick invitation designs. When do you want to do that? Tonight?" "That works. I need to call Paris and see if she will be a bridesmaid. Speaking of wedding party, who will be your groomsmen?" "I'd like my best friend, Josh, to be my best man. Other than that, I don't know." "Maybe Tristin? Ever since he came back I've been friends with him. Or he could be an usher." "How about usher. Hey, I have an idea. Luke can be my best man. Then, Josh and my other friend Alec can be groomsmen." "You're brilliant." "I know." The two smiled at each other. "I have to go to the diner. I'll see you at home?" "You bet. I love you, Babe." "Love you, too." The two kissed quickly and Rory headed into the direction of Luke's.
