Thanks for all the reviews!
Chapter 14
The rest of the party went by quickly; everyone had a wonderful time and said it was the best party they had been to in a while. Rory and Logan quickly got back to their lives, school was hard and a month had passed since the party. Honor and Josh returned from their honeymoon and were shocked about everything that had happened.
The wedding plans were falling into place and today Rory was going wedding dress shopping with Loralei, Paris, Steph and of course Emily. Rory had looked through magazines and was set on a certain designer Pricilla of Boston, so the girls took Logan's limo and headed to Boston.
"I am so glad Logan allowed you to take his car" Emily said to Rory
"Yeah, it's so much better than driving" Loralei added.
"I know; he always lets me Steph and Paris take it when we go shopping." Rory said
"Must be nice to be engaged to a billionaire" Loralei said mocking
"Don't be jealous Mom, next time we go shopping I will ask Logan if I can have Frank" she said trying placate her mother.
"Thank you!" She said smiling in victory
"God Loralei, you really are a child" Emily said in sheer disgust.
The rest of the ride to Boston was similarly entertaining; Loralei was constantly getting on Emily's nerves making the rest of the girls laugh. When Frank pulled up in front of the Bridal Salon the girls were extremely excited.
"Hello, I am Rory Gilmore I have an appointment to try on wedding gowns today" Rory said to the woman behind the desk when they first walked into the shop.
"Yes Hello Miss Gilmore we have your room all ready, please follow me" the young girl said.
"Thank you" Rory said turning to the girls and making a pretentious look then laughing.
They settled into the room the young woman whose name was Lisa brought in a bottle of champagne and five glasses and popped the cork and poured us each a glass.
"To my daughter finding her other half" Loralei said holding up her glass toward Rory.
Every one said "Here here"
Lisa came back into the room and asked Rory what she was looking for and a little about the wedding, then left the room after saying she would be back in a few minutes.
We were all relaxing snacking on the fruit and cookies that were laid out on a table for us.
"Ok, I am back with a few dresses for you to try" Lisa said as she was pulling a garment rack full of gorgeous dresses.
One was more beautiful then the next Rory took her place behind a screen to change into one of the gowns.
"Oh my God" Rory said from behind the screen
"What is it dear?" Emily said to her granddaughter
"This dress is absolutely gorgeous" she said walking out and stepping onto a platform in front of the three mirrors. "It's just puffier than I was looking for"
"Rory this is… Wow" Steph said
"Yeah, Ror, you are going to make a beautiful bride" Paris agreed.
"Thanks guys" Rory said "Mom, Grandma what do you guys think"
They were both speechless, and were both wiping tears away from their eyes.
"Rory, you are stunning, I just can't believe you are getting married" Emily said to her granddaughter
Loralei never said anything she was astonished, her little girl is grown and getting married.
Rory went back behind the screen to try on the next dress.
"Mom, please come here" Rory said from behind the screen "I feel like the wizard from the Wizard of Oz" she said laughing
"What's up Sweets" Loralei said walking toward Rory
"This is it" she said "And I want you to be the first to see me in it" Rory was standing behind that screen in a Strapless A-line dress made of cotton English net over silk satin, appliquéd with beaded Alencon lace and silk satin bias bands. It was beautiful and very Rory. (AN: you must see this dress it is absolutely gorgeous)
"Oh my god it is it" Loralei exclaimed hugging her daughter almost knocking her over. "I can't believe you are getting married, my mini me is getting married"
"Thanks Mom, now let's show the others" Rory said sensibly
Rory stepped out into view of the others and they gasped. Everyone was speechless.
Emily was the first to break the silence "It's perfect" was all she said
"I couldn't agree with you more" Loralei said to her mother.
They all had tears in their eyes and told her how beautiful she looks.
Emily and Loralie ordered the dress and they said it would be ready in 6 weeks. They headed out piled into the limo and started back to Connecticut. Rory was grinning and the others were talking amongst themselves.
"Steph, Paris I need to ask you guys something" Rory said gaining the attention of everyone in the car
"What's up Rory" Steph said as Paris nodded in agreement
"I know the wedding is in Italy and I know you both said you were going to come. So, I was thinking that I would love it if you would do me the honor and be my bridesmaids." Rory said hoping her friends would agree
Steph jumped on Rory and starting screaming with Joy "Of course I would, it's not everyday two of my best friends get married" she said while hugging her
"Rory, I am honored and of course I would love to be your bridesmaid" Paris said hugging her friend when Steph finally let her go
"Oh, sweets that is wonderful, what about Lane?" Loralei asked knowing that lane was her best friend.
"I spoke to her a couple of days ago and I had asked her but she is going out on tour and won't be able to come to the wedding" Rory explained.
The rest of the car ride was filled with mindless talk of boys and food. Emily seemed to have a good time with her girls and Rory's friends; she was thrilled when Rory asked her to go with them.
They pulled up to the Gilmore mansion to drop Emily and Loralei off and Rory got out of the car and hugged her grandmother "Thank you so much for coming today it wouldn't have been the same without you" Rory said
"I am so happy you asked me dear but do you think you could come in for a minute I have something for you" Emily said to Rory
"Sure, let me say good bye to Mom she wanted to head back" Rory said and that is what she did, she hugged her mom and gave her a kiss and told her she would call her later. She turned and walked into the house.
"I am up here Rory" Emily yelled from upstairs, so she turned and walked up the stairs and into her grandmother's room. "I want you to have this" she said handing Rory and handed her a what looked like a small hat box.
She sat in the chair and opened the box and held her breath "Grandma it's stunning" she was holding a diamond tiara, and not the one she wore to the Male Yale party, it was the one that she wore when she married her grandfather.
"I wanted to give it to your mother when she married, but I am sorry to say I don't see that happening. So, I am giving this to you, it was my great grandmother's and it has been passed down through the generations when they wed" she said
"Thank you Grandma; and you never know maybe Mom and Luke will get married, I know they are having their problems but they love each other." Rory said seeing that the whole thing actually upset her.
Emily nodded and walked Rory out of the house, hugged her and said good bye.
Rory climbed back into the limo to see Steph and Paris talking.
"Everything ok, Ror" Paris said
"Yeah my grandmother just wanted to give me this" she said handing the box to Paris and Steph
"Wow" they both said together.
Just then Rory's cell phone rang she looked at the caller Id it said Logan
"Hey" Rory said answering her phone
"Hey Ace, where are you?"
"Just left my grandma's house on our way home"
"Good, Meet us at the pub is Paris still with you?"
"Um, yeah why?"
"Good cause Doyle is with us"
"Really, why?"
"I needed to talk to him"
"Why"
"It's fine, now" he said cryptically
"Logan, what did you do?"
"Nothing we just wanted to have a chat with him"
"Who is we?" she said beginning to get aggravated
"Well me Colin, Finn and Doyle got together to have a few drinks, that's all and we started talking and I just asked him what happened that night"
"LOGAN!"
"It's fine Ace, we talked he told me he was very drunk, you were both very drunk, you were being nice to him and he stepped over the line and he's sorry"
"That's it?"
"That's it!"
"I am not happy you did that" she said
"I didn't plan on it, but I ran into him on campus and we decided to hang out and wait for our girls." He said sweetly
"Fine, I have to stop by the apartment and drop something off and then we will meet you there"
"Ok, Love you"
"Love you too; see you in about 45 minutes"
They both hung up and the guys were all sitting in the pub laughing and joking around Finn decided to call Rosemary so he wasn't the odd man out.
True to her word 45 minutes later Rory, Steph and Paris walked into the Pub to find the guys and Rosemary talking about spring beak today was the last day of classes for most us them, except the girls their last day was yesterday.
"So what's up for spring break, mates?" Finn asked the group collectively
"What do you have in mind Finn?" Colin asked
"Vegas Baby" Finn exclaimed
"I'm in" Logan said looking at Rory
"What are you in for?" Rory said
"Vegas" he said "are you in"
"Of course" Rory said laughing "I need to talk to you for a sec"
"OK, lead the way" he said taking her hand
They walked to the front of the pub and out the door.
"What's up Ace" Logan said before kissing his fiancé "How did it go today?"
"Great, no problems at all. I got a dress" she said smirking "I got something else to"
"Really what?" he leaned in and kissed her again
"My period" she said ecstatically
"Really, no baby?"
"No Baby" she said kissing him
