Chapter 2: Setting A Date
Lorelai was sitting in bed later that night, trying to figure out what date would be perfect. "December 20th" she said to herself and smiled. The day wasn't just any day, it was the snow festival, even if it wasn't snowing, it would still be perfect with the lights. She picked up the phone and called Luke at the diner.
"Luke's diner." he answered.
"December 20th!" Lorelai said through the phone.
"What?"
"I have a date. December 20th."
"Are you sure?" Luke asked, now knowing who it was.
"Yeah, it's the day of the snow festival, and then we can have the lights all put up at night. It's perfect. It's just like Rory and I were talking about." she said that last sentence and Luke realized how important it was for her to have it that day.
"Okay. I'll be home soon and we can talk about it." he said.
"Okay. Bye." Lorelai said and hung up the phone, her smile faded away when she remembered a thought she had a few hours ago. "What if Rory rejected her invitation?"
--
Rory had gotten dressed into her pyjamas and was reading her book in bed, when she was thinking about what her mom's wedding would be like. She didn't know anything about it, all she knew was that she was engaged to Luke. She was happy for her, Rory knew that Luke would treat her right. They were a couple, even before they went out. You could just see it.
She wondered if her mom would invite her to the wedding, she hoped so. She wondered if her mom ever remembered the plans that they used to talk about. About what they thought would be the perfect wedding.
She looked at her clock and sighed, deciding it was time to get some sleep, she shut her book and turned off the light. Shortly after she drifted off to sleep.

The next day Lorelai was sitting at a table in the inn, trying to decide where to have the wedding. Sookie came and sat down.
"So, have you decided yet?" she asked.
"I don't know...they just aren't..." she started but her sentence was finished by Sookie.
"...what you and Rory pictured it to be?"
"Yeah." she sighed and then looked around, "wait...what if we had it here?"
"At the Inn?" she asked, and smiled, "that would be perfect! I could even cook the food!"
"Sookie, you know you were already cooking the food and the cake right?"
Sookie smiled, "yeah, I just wanted to hear you say it."
Lorelai laughed, "Okay, so now that we have a location, now we need to figure out how many guests.
"You are inviting Rory right?" there was a moment of silence and then Lorelai nodded.
"Hopefully she'll accept."
