Rory was up and giving Libby breakfast by the time Jess woke up.
"Good morning." He said when he walked into the kitchen.
"Daddy!" Libby explained.
"Hey Lib. You're both up early." He kissed the top of her head.
"We're going to head over to Mom's when we're done with breakfast."
"You think your mother will be up?" Jess asked.
"She has twins who like to get up early, I'd say so. Are you going to be okay here by yourself?"
"I'll figure something out."
"When exactly is this thing no-one will tell me?"
"Three." Jess replied. "I'd say that will give you plenty of time to get ready."
"You'd be surprised." Rory winked at him.
Jess tugged her into his lap and kissed her.
"Yuck." Libby said.
"Happy anniversary." Jess whispered.
"Happy anniversary to you too." Rory kissed him. "I got you a present."
She grabbed a gift bag from the counter and handed it to him.
Jess pulled the two leather bound books inside. He looked at the titles on the bindings.
"My books."
"One of a kind leather bound copies." Rory told her. "I thought they'd look good on the shelf and the first anniversary is supposed to be paper."
"I have something for you too."
"I thought I was having a wedding."
"That's for the family."
Jess disappeared into the other room and returned with a small gift bag.
Rory opened it.
"A scroll?" Rory looked at him.
"I wrote you something. Don't read it until later." Jess requested.

"Hey Mom." Rory said when Lorelai opened the door.
"My mother is here."
"Grandma?" Rory questioned.
"She showed up half an hour ago. William threw up all over here."
"Good for him." Rory smiled. "What about Grandpa?"
"He'll be coming by later. She has a schedule."
"A schedule?" Rory questioned.
"You might want to run and hide." Lorelai suggested.
"Great. Lib go and say hi to Grandma." Rory stated.
"If it's any consolation she approves of your dress."
"Now it has everyone seal of approval. You know I think eloping was a good idea."
"It is about now." Lorelai agreed.
"Where's Luke?"
"At the diner. He cleared out when Mom got here. He'll be back later."
"Let's get this over with."
"Think positive you get gifts."
"We have three toasters." Rory reminded her.
"You can't show up at a wedding without a gift, it's not proper etiquette."
"Why don't we go and get this over with?" Rory suggested.
"Hey Grandma."
"Rory. What are you wearing?"
"A Yale t-shirt and Capri pants." Rory replied. "I figure I'd wasn't going to be wearing it all day."
"But people will be here."
"I can put my pyjamas back on." Rory offered.
Lorelai bit her lip to hide a smile.
"It's fine Mom." Lorelai told her. "Why don't you tell Rory about your schedule?"
