Chapter 6: Wedding Gown Shopping
"I told Grandma that we were wedding gown shopping," said Rory as they drove to a bridal boutique. "So she doesn't make us any dresses."
"I'm not bringing then to dinner tonight," said Lorelai. "She wants to see them she'll have to wait."
Rory didn't respond. She was still nervous about Jess. She felt neutral about him, but with Jess around anything could happen.
After they arrived at the bridal botique Rory found dozens that she wanted to try on. Lorelai sat down and waited for Rory. Rory came out wearing a long white dress with straps.
"Do you like it?" asked Rory.
"It's kind of boring," said Lorelai.
Rory agreed and went back into the dressing room. She came out wearing a poofy white dress with off-the-shoulder straps.
"That's too poofy," said Lorelai and Rory agreed with her again.
Rory tried a lot more dresses on, but none of them made the cut.
"This is the last one," said Rory from the dressing room. "If this isn't it. Then we have to go somewhere else."
Rory came out wearing the most beautiful dress Lorelai had ever seen. Rory was wearing a plain white dress with straps. From the straps to the waist was a lace covering which was long sleeve. The sleeves were see through. The hem of the dress wasn't too poofy or too slim. It had a little bit of flair.
"Wow," said Lorelai. "That's the one."
"Really?" asked Rory. "You think so?"
"Take a look at yourself in the mirror."
Rory walked over to the mirror.
"Wow," said Rory. "You're right. I love it."
Lorelai looked around the store and found a veil. It had combs with fake white roses on them. She put it on Rory.
"You look beautiful," said Lorelai.
"Wow," said Rory. "I'm getting married."
Lorelai tried on a lot of dresses, but she didn't like them. Rory looked at her watch.
"Mom," said Rory. "We have to be at Grandma and Grandpa's in an hour."
Disappointed, Lorelai paid for Rory's dress and she and Rory walked to the car.
"We'll go to another botique tomorrow," said Rory.
Lorelai didn't respond. She was upset about the whole situation. She couldn't believe she didn't have a wedding dress. She was quiet all through dinner. She didn't make any comment about Rory's dress when Rory went on and on about it.
"Lorelai," said Emily. "You haven't said a word all evening besides 'hi mom.'"
"I'm just tired," said Lorelai.
"Well, while we're on the subject of wedding dresses," said Emily. "How's yours?"
"I didn't get one."
"What happened?"
"I couldn't find one that looked good on me."
Emily suddenly smiled. "Come with me," she said, getting up.
"Mom-"
"Come on, Lorelai."
Lorelai got up and followed her mother to a room with a mirror and a stool for her to stand on for hemming. Lorelai shuddered as she entered the room. It was the room where she was getting fitted for her debutante dress and she was pregnant with Rory and her dress wouldn't close. Emily didn't know, but she did. Emily had thought she had gained weight.
"Mom, why did you bring me in here?" asked Lorelai.
Emily pulled out a garment bag from the closet.
"I had this custom-made," said Emily.
"Had what custom-made?" asked Lorelai. "And how did you get my measurements?"
"Remember that fashion show we did?"
"Yeah."
"I got them from the seamstress."
"Mom, what's in the garment bag?"
Emily pulled out a long white dress. It had one long sleeve. The sleeve was cut in half and tied together by strings so there were circles going up and down the sleeve exposing the arm. The neckline was a little low, but not too low.
"Lorelai, just try this on and if you don't like it," said Emily. "I'll send it back."
Lorelai tried on the dress. It was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. Emily came in with a veil attached to a tiara. Emily put it on her head. Lorelai loved it. It was beautiful.
"Wow," said Lorelai. "Mom, you outdid yourself."
"Thank you," said Emily. "I knew you would like it. The tiara was mine. I had the veil attached."
"You're giving me your tiara?"
"Yes."
Tears of joy swam in Lorelai's eyes. She couldn't remember any moment like this that she had with her mother before.
"Thank you, Mom," said Lorelai. She hugged Emily for the first time in her life. Emily hugged her back. It was a warm hug. Not a hug that was forced.
"I think we should go back to the table now," said Emily.
They went back to the table. Richard and Rory were discussing about that Lorelai couldn't tell what it was because it sounded boring. During desert, the doorbell rang.
"I wonder who that is," said Richard.
Moments later, Chris walked in. Lorelai felt a wave of déjà vu. It was like the time Chris walked in two months after Chris found out Sherry was pregnant. Except this time, Lorelai was engaged to someone else.
"Hello, Emily," said Chris. "Richard. Rory."
"Hi, Dad," said Rory.
"Christopher!" exclaimed Richard. "How are you?"
"I'm fine," said Chris.
"Chris have you eaten?" asked Emily. "I think there's some leftover pot roast."
"No thank you, Emily," said Chris. "I've already eaten. I'm here to talk to Lorelai."
Lorelai was confused.
"Lorelai, can I talk to you?" asked Chris.
