The drama of Jess's New York trip passed as did Libby's first birthday. Rory's school year ended and she passed with flying colours.

Rory spent the summer with Libby, enjoying being a Mom.

Luke and Lorelai set the wedding before Rory was due back to school and elected to have it in the town square like Liz. Much to Emily's chagrin Lorelai wouldn't let her invite any of her friends or Richard's business acquaintances settling for a small wedding with only close friends and family, which meant most of the town.

"Gamma." 18 month old Libby toddled across the floor in Lorelai's direction.

"Hey baby." Lorelai who was dressed in her silk dressing gown, her hair and make up already done, but she was putting off putting on her dress until the last minute, picked her up.

"Sorry Lorelai she got away from me." Lane apologised. Lane had been roped into keeping an eye on her goddaughter while Rory and Lorelai got dressed.

"That's okay." Lorelai smiled. "Are you going to put your pretty dress on soon?"

"Rory's just looking for her shoes." Lane told her.

"That's good."

"When she's dressed I'll take her over to find Jess."

"Thanks for helping out Lane."

"I love spending time with her." Lane stated. "How are you feeling?"

Lorelai held out her hand that was shaking.

"Does that answer your question?"

"You'll be fine." Lane assured her. "A few hours and you'll be on your honeymoon. Where are you going anyway?"

"Hawaii." Lorelai replied.

"Sounds nice."

"It was Luke's idea."

"Found them." Rory said walking out of her room with the shoes. "So that's where you disappeared to Lib."

"We're just having a hug."

"Gamma." Libby smiled.

"Lib, you need to come with Mommy and put on your dress. Then Auntie Lane is going to take you to see Daddy."

"Dada." Libby clapped her hands together.

Lorelai handed her over to Rory.

It didn't take Rory long to get Libby ready, she gave her a kiss and handed her over to Lane.

"Her stroller is outside." Rory told Lane.

"I know. I'll see you all later. Good luck Lorelai."

"Thanks Lane."

"So what do you say we get you dressed?" Rory asked taking off her dressing gown which she had put on over her dress so Libby didn't get it dirty.

"I promised Sookie I'd wait until she got here, she should be here soon."

"So no sudden urge to go on a road trip?" Rory inquired.

"No."

"I finally get a step-dad."

"Are you okay with me marrying Luke?" Lorelai asked.

"Mom, I love Luke, he's been like a father to me for as long as I can remember. Besides which I'm 20 years old and have rather active kid of my own."

"She does have a lot of energy." Lorelai agreed.

"I'm really happy for you and Luke."

"Sorry I'm late." Sookie bustled in the front door.

"That's okay." Lorelai assured her. "Everything okay?"

"I just had to make a few last minute changes to the cake." Sookie told her.

"More flowers?" Rory guessed.

"Just a few." Sookie replied. "Where's Emily I thought she'd be here?"

"Grandma will be here in about twenty minutes." Rory told her. "But we need to get Mom into her dress."

"How did you talk her out of being here earlier?"

"We lied." Lorelai supplied.

"Huh hum?" Rory cleared her throat.

"I lied." Lorelai corrected herself. "I told her the wedding was two hours later than it is."

"You lied to your mother about when your wedding was?" Sookie queried.

"I didn't want her here making me nervous." Lorelai replied. "I'm getting married finally she'll get over it."

"How did you tell her that it was two hours later?"

"We hand made the invitations so I just put a different time on hers."
