Colin and Finn lead Logan down a hallway of a hotel. "This whole bachelor party thing is going to be nice and easy right? Nothing over the top? Just me and the guys?"
"Of course. Whatever Logan wants, Logan gets." Finn says as they stop right in front of a door.
"Good, cause I really don't want anything-" Colin opens the door and inside is music blaring, guys partying, booze, and strippers. Logan stands in the doorway. "that will get me in trouble."
"You won't get in trouble cause we're not telling." Colin says as he and Finn enter the room. Logan stays in the doorway. The guys look at Logan weirdly as he doesn't make a move.
"Come on, Logan! We saved a girl just for you. Hell you can even have mine as an early wedding gift." One of the guys yells.
"You gotta be shitting me." Logan says before he walks away from the hotel room.
"I got him." Finn says to Colin. He follows Logan out of the room. "Logan!" He calls after him in the hallway.
Logan quickly turns around. "What the hell is wrong with you guys?"
"It's a party, Logan. Calm down. You're famous for them."
"That isn't my life anymore and you know that! I specifically asked for a night with just the boys, that's it! No huge party and especially no strippers!"
"Sorry, our mistake. We thought you could use a something that will ease your tension. Strippers seemed like the perfect thing."
"What? And cheat on Rory?"
"No! We know you would never do that and if you did, we'll kill you. But a little striptease and a lap dance never killed anyone."
"Yeah? Well, I don't want it." Logan says through his teeth. He leans against a wall of the hallway and slides down it. He leans his head back as he sits on the floor and sighs. "What if she bails?" He says worried.
"What?" Finn looks at him confused.
"Rory. What if she bails?" He asks distraughtly.
"Logan-"
"I mean, she was having doubts before. What if she still has them?"
"I'm sure she-"
"I don't know if I can take that, not having her; not marrying her."
Finn sits down next to Logan. "Logan, she's not having doubts. I know her, she loves you."
"What if that's not enough for her?" He says as he looks straight ahead.
"Trust me, it's enough."
Logan sighs and runs his hand through his hair. "I have all these emotions running around in my head. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, terrified. God, I feel like a chick."
"Just relax."
"I never thought in my life that I would be so in love with someone; someone who consumes all my thoughts. I mean, I knew I would fall in love, but I never thought I'd need someone the way that I need Rory. She makes me so happy."
"I know."
"But she makes me so scared."
"Scared of what?" Finn asks.
"Scared that I can't make her feel the way she makes me feel."
"Trust me Logan; you have nothing to be scared of. Ok, how about this? Me, you, and Colin have an old fashion poker night. We'll call up our old poker buddies and do that instead, like the old days."
"That sounds perfect. Thanks, Finn."
"Yeah, what are best men for?"
Logan stands up as well as Finn. "Are you sure Colin's not pissed that you won rock, paper, scissors and got to be best man?
"Nah, he's happy to be a groomsman. The bride's maid he's walking down the aisle is hot. Now, come on mate. Let's enjoy your last night of freedom, before it's 'Yes, dear' for the rest of your life."
"Shut up." Logan lightly shoves Finn. Finn puts his arm around Logan as the walk back to the room to kick everyone out.

Rory is in the living room of her childhood home cleaning up the mess everyone had made earlier. Lorelai walks behind her. "Hey. You don't need to do that."
"I know, but I need to keep moving because if I stop, it'll catch up with me."
"Still drunk?"
"I'm sobering up a bit."
"Tonight was fun, huh?" Lorelai asks.
"Yeah, it was. A fun night with the girls is just what I needed."
"Good. I'm glad you had fun." Rory continues to clean. "Rory?"
"Yeah?" Rory answers while still picking up.
"Stop." Rory stops. "Come here." Rory turns around and hugs her mother a huge hug.
"Do you remember when I was little? When it was just you, me, and The Bangles?" Rory asks in her mother's arms.
"Of course. Why?"
"No reason. I was just wondering how we got to where we are now. You're married. I'm getting married tomorrow. That time in our life seems so long ago."
"I know. It took us a while to get here; it wasn't easy. But we deserve everything, baby."
"Do I?"
"Rory-"
"I mean, I was so close to losing it all."
"Cold feet is normal. It's no one's fault." Lorelai says comforting.
"But still. I handled everything wrong. I couldn't have handled it worse even if I wanted to. It was all my fault."
"No it wasn't."
"I don't deserve Logan. I don't deserve anything he's given me or how he makes me feel. He's too good for me-"
Lorelai breaks the hug and cups Rory's face. "Rory, stop it. You both deserve each other. I see the way you two look at each other; it's real. You guys are going to be fine. I'm not worried about you two. What I am worried about is getting you to sleep right now. We don't want an ugly bride with bags under her eyes, now do we?"
Rory slightly smiles and shakes her head. "No."
Lorelai puts her arm around Rory and they start to walk towards Rory's room. "Come on, babe. You need your rest because my baby is getting married tomorrow."
"I know." Rory gushes but stops suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Lorelai asks.
Rory abruptly covers her mouth and runs into the bathroom. The sound of vomiting can be heard.
"Aww sweet. Like mother, like daughter the night before the wedding. Just hope and pray that you're not as hung over as I was during the ceremony."
"Thanks for sharing." Lorelai hears from the bathroom. She smiles, slightly shakes her head and walks into the kitchen.
