*~*Day before the wedding*~*/b





After dinner, they went back home and settled in for a night of TV. They spent the next day packing for Stars Hollow.

"Rory?! Do you know where I put my dress shoes?!"

"The Closet?"

"Not in there."

"Try in the hallway closet."



. . . . . . .



"Yup found them.'

"JESS, Can you help me close my suit case!?"

"Umm, okay." He walked into the bedroom to find Rory sitting on the suit case trying to close it. "You think your bringing enough things?"

"It's My Wedding! There can't be too much."

"Right, sorry! Wedding, you do what you want. . .except running off with some tall dark and handsome stranger you met at your bachelorette party!"

"I'll try, but I already have a tall dark and handsome, I'd probably look for tall blonde and muscular! Now stop bickering and zip up this suit case will you." Rory smiled and shifted position so Jess could grab the zipper.

"Yes ma'am. . ." After he zipped up the suit case, he put both hands on either side of her. Looking her straight in the eyes he said, "So I'm tall, dark and handsome, huh?"

"Yup," she replied softly.

"Good." He said, although it came out more as a breath then an actual word as he leaned in and captured Rory's lips with his own. She slowly reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist he spun her around, as she broke the kiss with a laugh.

"We should be packing." She giggled.

"This is so much more fun, though." He replied with another peck.

"Right. . .but if we don't pack, then we can't go to Stars Hollow, and if we can't go to Stars Hollow, then we can't get married." She stated with anotherkiss.

"Getting married is highly over rated" he replied as his eyes darkened.

"Says the man who asked me to marry him before we finished high school."

"That's not the point Rory. The point is. . . kissing you is much more fun than packing."

"Jess," she started as she let her feet hit the floor before letting go of his neck, "We can do the kissing After we pack. Deal?"

"Doesn't look like I have much of a choice does it?"

"Nope. Now, I'm going to go and pick up my dress and when I get back, you better be all packed. Got that, Mister?"

"Ay aye captain!" He said saluting her, "just put on some chap-stick before you come in." he said with a wink as she shot him a look, grabbing her keys and coat shewalked out of the apartment. She drove to the bridle shop where she ordered her dress.

"Hello, umm, I ordered a dress here a while ago."

"Your name?" the lady at the front desk asked.

"Rory Gilmore."

"One moment." She tapped something into the computer, and then headed into the back, "Here it is." She handed the dress over to her a moment later.

"Thank you." Rory replied as she took the dress, walked back towards her car, and began the drive home. She couldn't believe that this time in 2 days she and Jess would be getting married. It seemed such a foreign idea to her, but in a way it seemed very natural. She had been living with Jess through all of Yale and now they would just have the legal documents to prove their marriage.

She pulled up to their apartment making sure to leave the dress hidden in the car. "Je-ess, I'm Ho-ome." She yelled walking into the house.

"In the bedroom." He yelled back.

"Hi," She said as she walked through the bedroom door,

"Hey baby, what's up?"

"I got my dress and everything." She grinned at him. "Are you done packing?"

"Yup, just have to grab a few things from the bathroom and I'm done." He said walking towards the aforementioned area. "So what's the plan?' He asked from the bathroom.

"Well, we'll finish up here, get some lunch then head out to Stars Hollow. Once in Stars Hollow we'll go to our bachelor-slash-bachelorette parties.

After which I'll go to mom's house and you'll stay at the apartment above the diner. I will see you at the wedding ceremony."

"We have to be apart?" Jess whined,

"It'll be for less then a day." Rory laughed at the pathetic pout that adorned her fiancés lips as he walked out of the bathroom, shaving kit in his hands.

"It already seems too long." He said, as he dropped the kit on the bed and pulled her to him and gave her a kiss.

"I know, but think about it; after that we'll be married." Rory smiled at him. "I'll get to be Mrs. Jess Mariano."

"Mmmm. . .I like the sound of that." He capitulated, kissing her softly.

"Me too." She replied softly leaning in for another kiss. She pulled away only when she was desperately in need of air. Come on, we have to get going."

"Do we have to?" He questioned.

"I have one word for you mister. HONEYMOON."

"Going, I'm going." He said jumping up. He grabbed his bags and moved them into the living room. Then went and got hers. "So where do you want togo to lunch?"

"How about just a fast food place so that we can get on our way?"

"Sounds good." They grabbed everything and headed towards the car, dropping off their suitcases in the trunk and sitting up front. After grabbing a bite to eat at a taco place that they frequented, they drove to Stars Hollow. "Should I drop you off at your mom's house?"

"Yeah, that will be great; you can come in for a while too." She grinned as he pulled up in front of the house. She couldn't wait until tomorrow.

A/N DON'T HATE ME, i know its delayed but at the moment i'm in a very writting kinda mood so hopefully i'll have a new chappy up in a few days. Ok so enjoy this one. And thank you Jayde for Beta-ing. Love ya
