Chapter 7
"I'm getting married in the morning..."

The bachelor parties went off with out a hitch, and Jess had managed not to actually look at any of the girls. Rory and the rest of her bridal party were now completely pampered, manicured, and gorgeous looking.

So here it was the big day, the day that they had waited for since their senior year of high school. Everything was finally going to be well...final. They would finally be starting their very own family, and be able to have children, without receiving bad looks from people. All the little pieces were falling into place now.

6:00 AM

Jess was in Luke's old apartment, the one he lived in before he and Lorelai moved in together. He was pacing back and forth nervously, every few minutes looking at his watch, sitting down then jumping back up and continuing to pace. It was six in the morning and he didn't know what the hell he was doing up, the wedding began at two in the afternoon, and he had only gotten home at around two at night. He tried to get back to sleep but his nerves were killing him, a million things were floating through his mind. All of the thoughts causing his sleep deprivation were created by only one thing...one very pretty thing that was most likely sleeping at that very moment, not too far away from him.

He nervously ran a hand through his hair before sitting down on his bed and picking up a book. However, within a second, he had thrown the book and stood up to pace again. He didn't even know why he was so nervous, people got married all the time. It isn't that big a deal, you wait for your bride, she walks very slowly down the aisle, with nice music in the background, she stands next to you, the priest talks for a while, you both say 'I do', give each other expensive rings and that's that. So why was he so nervous? Why did it feel that his heart would just jump out of his chest at any given moment?

He fell back on his bed and stared at the ceiling, he was slowly but surely going crazy. Did every men go through this, was it normal to feel this anxious? He looked over at the clock, in big red numbers it read, 6:10. "You're kidding me." He muttered to no one in particular. "I'm getting no where with this." He said to himself. "Great, and now I'm talking to myself, I swear to God I'm going crazy." He closed his eyes willing to go to sleep, and he slowly drifted off in to an uneasy sleep, waking up every few minutes to look at the clock, before completely shutting down.

Across town Rory had awoken at six as well, not being able to get back to sleep, she took a photo album and began looking through it. She loved pictures, and the concept of capturing many a happy memory in a picture. This was her 'Jess' photo album. Flipping through, she recalled all the moments portrayed within the album. Everything from their first date, to the 1st anniversary, to their birthdays, respectively. Their Chilton's graduation, their apartment near Yale, their first day at Yale picture courtesy of Lorelai Gilmore, and every other event under the sun. As she continued to look through it she started singing softly, "I'm getting married in the morning, ding dong the bells are going to chime..."

She looked over at her clock, 6:45. Why in God's name did I want to get married at two in the afternoon? What was I thinking? Seriously, I should have just gotten married at 8 in the morning and gotten it over with, then we could all have a reception all day long! I mean how do people wait that long. They are all crazy, yup, every single married person has gone crazy from the wait to actually have the damned ceremony! I don't think I've ever been this anxious for something. I have never wanted the time to fast forward as much as I do now. I doubt mom will even wake up 'till at least 8:30, and all the bridesmaids and everyone else that is helping with this wedding won't be up till like 9. Then again, they don't have an entire colony of butterflies living in their stomachs. She looked around the room and grabbed the check list just to go over that everything was in order for the big day.

Bridesmaids: Lane, Paris, Lisbeth. CHECK

Groomsmen: Dave, Jamie, Tristan. CHECK

Food: Sookie. Check

Dress, purchased and brought home, bridesmaid's dress hanging in mom's room. Tuxes, at Jess's apartment. Chupa, custom made by Luke, that mom used for her wedding, in place at the bridge. Reception being set up at the Dragonfly by Michel. Check

Now all that's left is to wait, and wait, and maybe wait some more. Rory sighed aloud and walked to the kitchen to make some coffee. I CAN'T EVEN GO TO LUKES, 'cause Jess is there. Hmm...maybe if I CALL them Luke could bring me the coffee. Yes...must call Luke! She glanced at the clock, must call Luke at more reasonable hour! Then she got an idea, she ran to her room, and opened a drawer, pulling out a card she began to write.

A More Reasonable Hour : 8:00 AM

"RRRRRRRROOOOOOORRRRRRRRRYYYY, oh, you're already awake." Lorelai yelled running downstairs into Rory's room. "Couldn't sleep, huh?"

Rory shook her head. "I've been up since six this morning."

"Crazy, how are you going to party 'till dawn if you only got four hours of sleep?"

"Coffee! Plus afterwards we're headed on our honeymoon and I'm sure I'll sleep on the plane."

"Oh I was sure you'd join the mile high club."

"MOTHER! I did not need to hear those words coming out of your mouth."

"WHAT?" Lorelai asked feigning innocence.

"That is not necessary information."

"Are you suggesting something, missy."

"Maaaybee...okay I need to go take a shower, but first to call Luke and make him bring over my coffee."

"Why don't you just walk to Luke's? I mean you still have a good six hours before the wedding."

"I can't see Jess, there is a very high chance that while I'm waiting for coffee, Jess will come down the stairs, and BAM I'm screwed over aren't it?"

"Rory, if you see Jess, it won't be the end of the world."

"Yes it will, and if I remember correctly on your wedding day, you covered up the windows with newspaper just incase Luke happened to walk by."

"So, I was thinking crazy back then, but now I have a logical point of view towards your wedding and so I'm telling you that nothing will happen."

"Doesn't matter mom, I'm going to go shower and then call Luke, you should start calling the girls." With that, she skipped off still singing to herself.

Half an hour later Rory was sitting in a bathrobe her hair up in a towel talking to Luke. "Right so that's three coffees and a stack of chocolate chip pancakes, some bacon and a muffin."

"Rory, how can you eat so much?" Luke asked writing down her order and handing it to Caesar.

"You married my mom right?" Rory asked.

"Good point, so I'll bring that over in like 20 minutes."

"Thank you, Luke. Bye." With that, she hung up and hurried around to get dressed.

When the doorbell rang, Rory raced to the door, clutching an envelope. "Hi Rory," Luke said handing her a box and her coffee.

"Thank you!" she said smiling happily. "I was wondering if you could give this to Jess." She said handing him the white envelope, on which Jess name was written in neat cursive.

"No problem, is Lorelai around?"

"She's in the shower actually, but I'm sure she'll come by the diner afterwards."

"Alright, well I guess I'll see her then, and I'll see you this afternoon."

"Defiantly! Goodbye." Taking her breakfast and coffee she sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V. and got lost in a 'Sex in the City' re-run.

At the diner, Jess had come downstairs to get himself something to eat. He settled for a bagel and a cup of orange juice with the morning paper. A habit he had picked up after taking a current events class in college.

"Something from Rory," Luke said while dropping the envelope in front of Jess as he walked behind the counter to help Kirk decide between scrambled eggs and an omelet. "If you don't want the omelet I could always just mash it into scrambled eggs AFTERWARDS."

Dear Jess,

Well it's 6 in the morning and I can't sleep. Can you believe that we're getting married today? I mean finally, getting married, with the documents and the party and everything afterwards. I'm sure right about now I'd say something like 'I can't wait to start our lives together,' but we've lived together for the past 6 years of our lives. How much more "starting" do we need.

This day is going to be so amazing and I can't wait for it to start, however it won't start for another 8 hours. I've been going crazy, I haven't known what to do with myself, it feels as if time is standing still and that the wedding won't ever get here. Unfortunately, it will and will be over before we know it, we should treasure this day, and everything that comes with it because we only get married once. Hopefully [you better not run off with Trixie after this, leaving me carrying our child in some trailer park in Utah or something...yeah this is me with only like 4 hours of sleep.]

It seems like just yesterday we started dating, but in actuality, the most wonderful 6 years had passed ever since. Every single moment was amazing, good or bad you were always there, and will always be. I have something you haven't seen yet and I think you'll like it. However, you'll just have to wait for the honeymoon night to find out what it is. Stop smirking Mariano! I love the fact that I know what you're doing before you are actually do it, or even if you're in a different place than me. How you know more about me then I know myself. The fact that someone would want to take the time to get to know someone that well is amazing on its own terms. I'm so lucky to have you Jess, I can't even put it in words, I've been writing for an hour and this is all I have. So many memories have flooded back and I don't know which one to think about first.

Well baby, I better get going and get ready for this day. I love you, and I can't wait to see you. Love, Rory Gilmore-Mariano XOXO

Jess smiled to himself reading her little note. He reread it again quickly and put it back in the envelope.

"What are you smiling at?" Luke asked him as he walked past him to get the coffee.

"Sorry Uncle Luke, I'll try not to smile on my wedding day." Jess said sarcastically, but with a smile still plastered to his face.

"Go upstairs and start getting ready or I'm going to put you to work."

"I'm going, I'm going." With that, he walked back up stairs, still grinning like an idiot. He walked up to his old room and sat at the computer that Luke had left there. Signing online he noticed that Rory, Tristan, Dave, and Jamie where all online.

NYdodger: Hey baby

CoFFeeLvR: you are NOT supposed to be talking to me mister!

NYdodger: I know but I miss you so much! The card was very sweet thank you.

CoFFeeLvR: I was bored!

NYdodger: Sure you were, Gilmore!

CoFFeeLvR: It was 6 in the morning and I couldn't sleep

NYdodger: I couldn't sleep either.

CoFFeeLvR: I know but now I have to run, because mom's calling and the maids are coming over and we need to start doing hair and makeup.

NYdodger: ROR, it's 9 in the morning, we still have many hours before the wedding.

CoFFeeLvR: Do you realize we have to do hair and make up for me, lane, paris, lisbeth, and mom! That's going to take a while. We shouldn't be having a conversation. BYE!

NYdodger: Bye, I love you.

CoFFeeLvR: I love you too. CoFFeeLvR has signed off at 9:03:55 AM.

So now, I just have to tell the other guys that we need to meet up and have everything ready not like we have to do hair and make up. HMM...what could we do to pass the time? Jess thought to himself staring at his buddy list. I guess I could just ask them.

TJDUGRAY: Sup' Mariano?

NYdodger: Nothing, trying to figure out were we all could go for a while before the wedding.

TJDUGRAY: that's a tough one. There is nothing to do in stars hollow you know that right?

NYdodger: No shit, Sherlock! This would be so much easier if was actually into sports or something then I could say. "lets shoot hoops" but basketball is well, not exactly me.

TJDUGRAY: don't worry, you'll get stuck doing that at my wedding.

NYdodger: thanks! So no ideas for what to do, that involve staying as far away from the Gilmore house as possible. It will be crazy there, and if I'm spotted within a mile radius of that place I'll get killed.

TJDUGRAY: crazy Gilmore women they are.

NYdodger: your girlfriend will be turned into one of them.

TJDUGRAY: DAMN, I have to keep her away from them now. lol,

TJDUGRAY: I have an idea why don't we all drive up to Hartford and go to that used record store, then we can grab a bit of lunch and head back here with enough time to get showered, dressed, and be waiting for your fiancée.

NYdodger: sounds good, tell dave and Jamie and I'll meet you at the dragonfly.

TJDUGRAY: later

NYdodger has sighned off at 9:25:03 AM

Jess got dressed, grabbed his wallet, cell phone and keys and headed downstairs.

"Jess, where are you going."

"The guys and I are going to Hartford to kill sometime. Wouldn't want to be in stars hollow you know in case some tornado blows the Gilmore house off and I accidentally see Rory before the wedding."

"Just be there for the actual wedding."

"Like I'd miss it. Bye." With that, he walked out of the diner. He finally got to the Dragonfly and the four of them piled into Tristan's car as they drove towards Hartford talking mainly about music. The boys spent the next few hours in Hartford driving back home at about 12:30 in the afternoon.

After Rory got off the internet, she went into the living room and called up her bridesmaids. After rounding them together in her living room they where about to leave for Hartford to get everything done for the wedding. Just as Rory was going to pick up the car keys, Lorelai told her to leave them where they are.

"Why, how do you intend to get to Hartford? Walk?"

"No, the limo."

"We have a limo?"

"I hired one to drive us around for the day."

"YAY!" Rory squealed jumping up and down, "we have a limo, we have a limo." She sang. The girls drove the limo to get their hair and make-up done. Afterwards they went to the Dragonfly and all of them got dressed. The limo pulled up near the bridge and everyone got out. Upon the arrival of Rory, the music flowed across the Bridge as the wedding began.
