"Rory! Let's go!"
"Just a minute." Rory says from her old room.
"Wow, you're future husband will love to hear that."
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Rory walks into the living room. "I'm here."
"Come on. Let's get a move on. The flight is in an hour and its 30 minutes away. Come on."
"How dumb are we to have booked a flight a couple hours before we actually had to be in New York while everyone either left yesterday or really early in the morning?"
"Incredibly stupid, but no need to dwell on that now. We are going to be late. Let's go!"
"Ok, let's go."
"Do you have everything?" Lorelai asks.
"Grandma has my dress; bags are in the car….I think we're good to go."
"Let's go." They both run out the door and into the car.
--------------------------------
Rory and Lorelai are in the cab on their way to the Tribeca.
"I still can't believe you're getting married in the rooftop of the Tribeca."
"Jealous?" Rory asks.
"No." Lorelai says quickly.
"You shouldn't. You're wedding was perfect. Mom, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, hon. What?"
"Can you call Logan and ask him if he's there yet?"
"Why?"
"Because it's bad luck if the bride is there before the groom."
"Says who?"
"Everyone."
"How come nobody told me that when I got married?"
"Because everyone knew you were going to be late, so you had nothing to worry about." The cab stops.
"No need cause we're here and late. Let's go." They jump out of the cap. "We're late. We're late." Lorelai says as the run towards the building.
"I know, I know." Rory suddenly stops in front of the entrance.
"What's wrong?" Lorelai asks.
Rory steps into the building right foot first. "Ok, let's go." They continue upstairs to the bridal room.
"What was that?" Lorelai asks confused.
"What was what?"
"That pause at the door."
"It's good luck to step into the building you're getting married in with your right foot first." Rory says out of breath.
"What is it with you and this sudden knowledge of superstitions?" Lorelai says also out of breath.
"I got them from Babette. I'm taking every precaution. She also said something about a rabbit and an onion, but I threw that one out."
"Stay away from Babette."
Rory opens the door to the dressing room to see everyone waiting for her and dressed.
"Rory! You had us worried sick. We thought you weren't going to show up." Shira exclaims.
"I-"
"No time for excuses. It's time to get you beautiful" Emily says as she pulls Rory into the room and sits her in front if a huge mirror. "Alicia! Raphael! Rory is ready for her hair and make up."
"Uhh, Grandma-"
"Hush no. Soon you will be looking radiant and beautiful once we tame your hair and get rid of those bags under your eyes." Emily turns to Lorelai. "Lorelai can you please not just stand there and get Rory's dress?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"No."
"Ok, then. I'm gonna get Rory's dress."
Lorelai leaves as Rory gets piled by the hair and makeup artist.

"Are you nervous? Finn asks Logan as he attempts to tie his tie.
"No." Logan says unconvincingly. Colin gives him a look. "Fine, I'm nervous as hell."
"That's more like it." Colin says as he slicks his hair back. "Ok, how do I look?"
Finn and Logan look at Colin. "Gay." They both say simultaneously.
"Hey, I'm not the one who chose this suit, ok?"
"Emily Gilmore did." Logan states.
"And you didn't stop her? I thought you were my friend."
"Hey, have you ever tried saying no to your future grandmother-in-law?"
"No."
"Exactly, cause you can't. Besides, don't worry. I think I heard Julia talking about Boy George one time." Logan reassures.
"Don't compare me to Boy George!" Colin points at Logan while Finn is laughing in the background.
"The suit is fine, Colin. Relax."
"I know. It's just a little more feminine than I would like. Besides, I got you to stop fidgeting."
"Hey. It's my job to calm the groom down. I'm the best man." Finn points out.
"Only because you won a meaningless, child game."
"Don't be-"
"Stop! You both are my bets men. So Finn gets to be in the front, so what? We all know Finn's the better looking of you two." Logan says.
"Hey!" Colin objects.
"But you two bickering like little school girls isn't helping me relax."
"Way to go, best man." Colin says tauntingly.
"Well I least……"
Logan sighs and sits down on a chair as Colin and Finn continue to bicker.
-------------------------------------------------
"Rory! Are you done yet?" Emily asks.
"Just a second Grandma. It's a bit difficult."
"Rory it's a dress. How difficult can it be?" Emily annoys.
"It's on." Rory says from behind the screen.
"Well. Come out so we can see you."
"Ok." Rory steps out in all dressed in her wedding apparel. All the women in the room gasp. "What?" Rory asks in concern. "Is it the dress?" The room is silent "I knew it; I have to much make up on. I look like a clown."
A dressed Lorelai walks to Rory with tears in her eyes. "You're beautiful, babe."
Rory smiles subtlety. "Thanks, mom."
"You look like an angel. That Logan isn't gonna know what hit him." Lorelai smiles at her daughter.
"Rory, do you want a look?" Rory nods her head. Emily leads her to the full length mirror, but stops.
"Wait." Rory takes off a shoe.
"Rory. What are you doing?" Emily scolds.
"I'm not supposed to view my entire outfit before the wedding; it's bad luck."
Lorelai shakes her head. "That Babette is gonna pay."
Rory walks in front of the mirror and examines herself. "Do you think Logan will like it.?"
"He's gonna love it, babe." Lorelai assures her.
"Well, we should take our seats, Emily. Rory…" Shira smiles at Rory. "Welcome to the family."
"Thank you." Rory smiles back.
"Before I go, just wondering, do you have your something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue?"
"I have my something new and blue, and borrowed…." Rory gasps. "I forgot something old."
"Of all the superstitions, you forget this one."
"Lorelai." Emily warns.
"Well, I brought these just in case." Shira takes out a small narrow box. She hands it to Rory.
"Shira."
"Open it." She watches Rory open the box and then hear her slightly gasp. "Another family hand-me-down. Now you have your something old."
"Shira, I can't take this."
"Why not? You're family now, it's yours. I don't want to mess with tradition, do you?"
Rory smiles. "No."
"Exactly." Shira motions to the box. "May I?" Rory nods her head. Shira takes the box and takes out the eminent Art Deco style drop earrings and puts them in Rory's ears. "These have been handed down since Mitchum's grandmother. They were once mine, now they're yours."
"Thank you, Shira."
"You're welcome. Emily?"
"Let's. See you out there, Rory." Emily and Shira walk out of the room.
The bridal party circles around Rory in awe of her new pieces of jewelry.
"Wow. Look at that. It's so fancy. You're too spoiled, Rory."
A person opens the door and announces to the group, "It's time."
The bridal party walks out the door and leaves Rory and Lorelai in the room.
"You ready for this?"
Rory stays quiet while looking down, but the looks and Lorelai.
