A/n: sorry this chapter took a little while, cause the disc I had the whole story saved on, missed up, and won't open my files. So I had to start from scratch. Thanks.

"So, what's the plans for today?" Jess asked pulling Rory closer to his chest.

"Well, we're meeting Lorelei, Sookie, and your mom for breakfast. Then we're going to Hartford, to dress shop." Rory answered looking across the room to Luke's fresh linen bed. Where Lane lay sleeping. She hadn't wanted to go back to the apartment she shared with Zach, and Brian. So, Rory offered to let her stay there. Promising that her and Jess, would stay 'G' rated.

"Well, how about you two meet me after you're done, and the three of us will go up to New York for a little while. Maybe take her mind of the whole mess."

"Oh, Jess!.."

"Jeez, guys! You're suppose to keep it 'G' rated. So, stop whatever the two of you are doing that's got Rory gasping like that!" Lane called rolling her back to them.

"It is 'G' rated. We wasn't doing anything, but talking." Rory answered, moving from laying by

Jess, to across the room, and flopped down on the bed next to Lane. "Jess, was just suggesting that, after we're done dress shopping, the three of us head up to New York. What do ya say?"

"Really, that sounds great. Thank's Jess."

"Well, we have to be down stairs soon. So, Rory, and I are going to shower." Jess said pulling Rory to her feet, and ushering her into the bathroom.

"Lane, you're free to borrow any thing you want. If ya don't want to go home and change."

An hour later, the three teen were sitting down stairs, eating with the others, and laughing. Lorelei, was going on and on about, wedding colors, dresses, flowers, food. They'd discussed having the wedding at the gazebo with Taylor the night before. Everything was cleared, the date was set for the first of December. So they had a lot of work to do. Sookie was handling all food relations. Rory and Lorelei was handling colors, flowers, and the big plans. Lane was doing music, Liz and Luke was doing decorations, and surprisingly Jess was going to write the announcement for the paper, plus help out in whatever area Rory, Lorelei, or Luke pointed him at. So, after clearing up all the small details of who was doing what, the girls left to find the dresses.

By, 2 they'd been to 4 different shops. Lorelei had tried on about 30 or so dresses. While the others had tried on about 15 or so a piece. They decided on one finale shop for the day, being how Jess was waiting on Rory, and Lane. Their last stop was a large building with the words 'Gloria's Bridal Boutique' (a/n: I'm making this shop up.).

"Hey, I'm Katie. Can I help you all?" Asked a petite blonde woman, about the same age as Lorelei.

"Hi, Katie, I'm Lorelei. I'm getting married the first of December outside in the snow, and I need a wedding dress, and bride's maids dresses, place tuxes before much longer. So I was hoping we could have a look around."

"Of course. Just let me know, if you find anything you like."

Twenty minutes later, Rory sat on a couch with Lane, Sookie and Liz. They was in front of the fitting stage platform, waiting for Lorelei to come out.

"Mom, if you don't get your butt out her right now, then Lane and I are walking!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

They all gasped when Lorelei stepped out onto the platform before them. The dress came down to her ankles. It was form fitting, and had two layers of different kinds of lace, starting at the waist. The lace was covered with a fancy detail of pearls and cz studs. The top, had thin straps, made of small pearls and cz studs, it came down to the top of her cleavage, showing off her chest, nicely yet not sluty. Then to cover her arms, was a Long bell sleeve, jacket that started on the top of her shoulders, and stopped 4 inches above her waist. It was trimmed in faux fur

across the bottom, around the sleeve, across the shoulders, and down the front. It hooked across the front, just above her chest, with a short string of pearls and cz studs. Her veil came to her waist, it was made of the same two laces as the dress. It had the same fancy detail of pearls and cz's. It was attached to a small silver headband, that was lined with pearls and cz's.

"Oh, may gosh! Mom, it's prefect!"

"That's the dress Lorelei." Both Sookie and Liz agreed.

"You look like an angel," Lane gasped in 'ah'.

"I must agree with them, that dress was made for you." Katie said, as she stepped closer to Lorelei.

"This is the dress, I want. It's so amazing!"

"All right, well. How about you go take that off, I'll tag it with your name, place it in the back. Then, we can see if we can find your bride's maids dresses, then discuses the payment. All right?"

"Yes, all right."

After another 40 minutes they had the bride's maids dresses as well. All were baby pink, and all came to their ankles. Yet they was made different. Rory's was a swoopy off-the-shoulder cut, form fitting, long bell sleeves, with a slit on the right side, from ankle to mid thigh. The chest was covered in small translucent pink beads, and slightly smaller pale white, sequins. The design waved out and cut diagonally across her stomach, and ended in a point, just at the top of her left knee.

Lane's also had the slight from ankle to thigh, only on the left side. The collier came up slightly on her neck, the sleeve's were short, barely reach the out sides of her shoulders, with a slightly darker pink, mesh like sleeve's starting off the sheer tank sleeve's that continued down to her wrists. Starting about 5 and a half inches above her waist was a similar design to Rory's it was the same beads and sequins, yet Lane's tended to swirl.

Sookie' was long sleeved, modestly chested, a slight from ankle to knee, and covered in simi-darker pink flowers. Liz's was similar, long bell sleeve's, v-neck, with the same slit and flower design as Sookie's. They were all going to we white lace up, ankle boots. Lorelei, Rory's and Lane's had a nice sized heel. While Sookie's and Liz's had a slightly less heel. They figured with the wedding going to be outside, these boots was their best bet.

"So, did you all, have a nice day?" Jess asked as the three of them walked up the sidewalk in New York. Heading towards a dines Jess used to eat at all the time.

"Yes we did. You're going to die when you see my dress."

"What she means by that is when you see her in the dress your going to be so turned on, you'll be undressing her with your eyes through the whole thing." Lane teased as they entered the diner.

"I do that no matter what she is wearing." Jess said as he pulled out a chair for both Rory and Lane, then slipped into his own.

"And, she just pictures you shirtless."

"Lane! Okay, that is true. He is just so breath taking when he's shirtless, bonus if he's wet. Like that time when I couldn't get my neighbors sprinklers off, and you helped me. We was soaked, and okay so you had your shirt on, but you was still very, very hot."

"Are you serious?" Jess asked laughing.

Rory blushed slightly, and nodded. Still laughing Jess, leaned over and kissed Rory.

They stopped laughing when a young man, there age stepped up beside their table. He was tall with dark brown slightly curly short hair, and green eyes. "I thought that was you guys!" He stated.

"Oh, my gosh! Dave?" Lane squealed, jumping up almost knocking over her chair, and throwing her arms around Dave's neck. He laughed as he brought his arms around her waist.

"Hey, buddy. Why don't you join us?" Jess said shacking Dave's hand after Lane released him, and Rory gave him a slight hug.

"All right. Nice to see you guys are back together." He said, sitting down next to Lane.

"It is so nice to be back together. So, how about you?"

"Well, let's see. I'm single. And I transferred to 'Yale'. At the beginning of this semester. I've actually been looking for you, Rory. I thought you was going to 'Yale'."

"I was. Well, I am again. I just took some time off at the beginning of the semester. But, I'll be starting back soon . It's along story."

They, ate and laughed, for awhile. Then, decided to go look at the Christmas decoration in central park. Jess had invited Dave to join them.

"Oh, my gosh. Jess there beautiful!" Rory exclaimed. Tugging Jess' hand and pulling him on along, and around the corner, disappearing into the crowed leaving Lane and Dave alone.

"Jeez, babe slow down would ya?" Jess laughed, stopping, tugging Rory's hand and pulling her back flush against him. "See, we've lost Lane, and Dave."

"That's the whole idea, let them be alone together, which gives us time alone together," she whispered bringing her lips millimeters from his, so close he could almost taste her.

"Oh, that's evil slick," he breathed huskily pressing his lips to hers.

It wasn't evil. In fact it was a pretty great idea. Because it gave Lane and Dave a chance to talk. Lane declared she was still in love with him. And he owned up to his love for her, still being there. So, they decided that once she official ended things with Zach, they'd start dating again.

Lane had also moved in to Luke's old apartment, with Rory. Who really only stayed there part time, and at Jess' the other part.

As, the weeks went by everything to do with the wedding was coming together. The dresses was altered, they had the tuxes. Black, with dark red button down shirts, black vests, and black ties.

A week before the wedding, Rory's first day back at 'Yale'.

By noon, Rory was so thrilled to be back at school, and had no idea how, she was stupid enough, to have took time off in the first place. She just sit down at a table, with her lunch, when Marty slid into the seat across from her.

"Hey, stranger."

"Hey, Rory. So I heard you broke up with Logan."

"Yea, we broke up."

"Right, so I thought maybe, it might be my shoot for asking you out. What do you say?"

"I..I'm sorry Marty. I'm already seeing someone."

"But you just broke up with Logan. How could you already be seeing someone new?"

Just then, Dave walked up and slid in the seat next to Rory, placing a new cup of coffee in front of her. "I'm sorry. He's an old boyfriend. That I've decided to get back together with. Even more, I think he is the one man I'm suppose to be with."

With, a sad look, Marty stood and nodded to them. "Congratulations." He said to Dave as he turned to walk away.

"No, wait, Dave's not..." With a sigh she turned to Dave. "He thinks I was talking about you." For some reason, they laughed slightly at this. That was what Logan and is friends saw, as they entered the room. Rory seating with the new guy, laughing, happy.

"Hello Rory," Colin said as the group walked up to the table.

"Hey, Colin. Guys." Rory said slightly taken back, and no longer laughing.

"Hey, Ace. Who's your friend?"

"Oh, this is Dave. Dave, this is Logan, Colin, Finn, Stephanie, and Julia." Rory answered pointing at each one as she said their names.

"What's up guys?"

"I can't believe you dumped Logan, and now going out with him." Stephanie said, with distaste, looking Dave over.

"One, me and Dave aren't going out, he's dating my friend. Two, he's a great guy, regardless of what you my think."

"Well, if you're not dating Logan any more, and you're not dating David here, then maybe you and I could go out again." Robert said, coming up to stand by Rory.

"Forget it Robert." Logan said taking a step tor wards him.

At this Rory stood, quickly, a look of slight angry present on her face. "Listen hear Logan. I broke up with you! So, you have no say, what so ever in who I do or don't date!" Dave stood quickly and began tugging Rory backwards, so she wouldn't attack him. She was after all Lorelei's daughter. "And Robert. Thank you for the offer. But, I've decided to get back together with an old boyfriend of mine." With that, Rory picked up the rest of her lunch, throw it away, grabbed her coffee, and left, Dave following behind her.

"So, what class do you have next, oh boyfriend?" Rory teased, as Dave fell into step next to her.

That evening, Rory entered Jess' apartment, with the key he had gave her. "Honey I'm home!" She hollered heading tor wards the kitchen. Where she found Jess cooking.

"Hey babe." He took a short moment to kiss her, then went back to cooking.

"What are you making?" She asked hoping on the counter.

"Chicken alfredo. How was your day?"

"I got asked out twice."

"Really?"

"Yes, first time, was by Marty, who used to be a friend of mine. Well, I guess he kinda still is, but I'm not sure if he still is going to be after being shot down twice already. Any way I told him I had gotten back together with an old boyfriend. Which just happened to be the moment Dave chose to sit down with his lunch, and a new coffee for me. So, Marty congratulated Dave, then walked away! It was pretty funny."

"Sounds like it. Wait don't tell me, your cheating on me with Dave Rodoascy (a/n: spelling anyone?) That would break my heart, not to mention Lane's"

"Well, I guess I won't tell you then. So, then Logan and his friends walked up. I introduced them to Dave, and one of the girls made a comment, on how she couldn't believe I first broke up with Logan, and then started 'going out with him'." Rory mimicked in fake discussed crossing her eyes.

This of which caused Jess to laugh. "And what was your answer to that Lorelei Leigh?"

"I told them, that I wasn't dating Dave, and he was a great guy. So, then this other guy came up, who is kinda friend with Logan, and whom I went out with once before. He asked me out, Logan got mad, which made me mad. I yelled at him, then politely turned Robert down, left and a few hours later came home, to my good looking, best kissing, love of my life, possible future husband." She finished with a smile. "Can't you take a short break from cooking, and kiss me?"

With a laugh he, laid down his stirring spoon, and turned to her. He quickly captured her lips with his own. When they finally pulled apart, Jess rested his forehead against hers. "You will be my wife one day Rory. I promise you that. One day, we will be married. I', going to give you the life you deserve."

"Just being with me, is enough. I love you."

"I love you too."

"Mom, guess what? In a matter of 2 hours your going to be Mrs. Luke Danes!" Rory exclaimed, running into Lorelei's room.

"I know, I can't believe it. This is so amazing."

"Come on the other girls are down stairs. We're going to start getting ready. Let's go!"

"All right Lorelei, so do you have your something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue?" Lane asked, as they all were doing their hair.

"Oh! I took care of that!" Rory exclaimed, going into her old room, and coming back out a few minutes later with a small bag. "All right then. Something blue is tu-duh, a blue is your girdle Something borrowed is my 'Hello kitty bracelet. Something new, is a pair of earrings Liz made just for you, for today."

"Oh, Liz there beautiful. Thank you."

"Oh, your welcome Lorelei."

"Okay, what's the something old?"

"Well, actually grandpa, was getting it. He said he'd give it to you before the wedding."

"Oh, all right."

By eleven forty five, every one was gathered and in their seats, waiting for the wedding to begin.

The music started slowly, and Luke walked up to the gazebo, and stood in the middle. Jess stood, on the top step, then Jackson, then T.J. on the next to steps.

As Lane began to make her way tor wards the gazebo, Richard Gilmore pulled Lorelei back a few steps. "I believe I was suppose to give you your something old."

"Oh, my gosh. Dad I completely forgot."

With a slight laugh, he pulled a small box from his pocket and opened it to her. Inside lay a delicate pearl necklace.

"Oh, my gosh! Dad, it's beautiful..."

"It was your grandmother's. Lorelei Gilmore the first. She requested you wear it on your wedding day."

"Oh, dad I'd be honored." Richard gently removed from the box, and fastened it around her neck.

"It looks lovely on you sweetheart."

"Thanks, dad." Lorelei gave him, a brief hug, then kissed his check, just as the wedding march started.

"Well, I believe it's time for your wedding."

Rory, was in 'ah' as she watched her mother walk tor wards them. She almost couldn't believe they was here, finally. She show the look of pure love on Luke's face as Lorelei approached, it was similar to the look Jess had on his face, as he had watched Rory, as he was still watching Rory.

"So, mom, how does it feel to be married?" Rory asked, over the roar of the music.

"Oh, my gosh kid. It feels great!"

"Well, Rory if you don't mind. I believe I owe my new wife, our first dance." Luke said as he walked up, and offered Lorelei his hand.

Rory smiled as she watched them move to the dance floor for their first dance. Jess slipped into the chair next to her, and kissed her neck. Then placed his chin on her shoulder.

"You, really do look amazing in this dress." He whispered, then kissed her shoulder. "I love you."

"I love you, too."

"That's going to be us one day. We're going to be dancing at our wedding, and glowing with such love."

"Well, have a house, great jobs. And beautiful sweet kids." Rory smiled.

"Just as long as their like you. Except for the coffee and junk food addiction. Dealing with one of you is enough. I don't think I could deal, if we had kids like that too."

"You'd love them regardless."

"Of, course."

"Come on dance with me." Rory stood, and took Jess' hand, and lead hm to the make-shift dance floor. Beside Lane, and Dave, who Rory couldn't think could get any happier.

a/n: okay, let me know what you think of this chapter. I think I'm going to set the next one forward a year or so. Like after Rory graduates. Thanks!
