Jess was sat with his laptop on the table in front of him writing.
"Jess?" He heard Luke call after he heard the door open.
"In here." Jess replied.
Luke walked in dressed in his suit feeling uncomfortable wearing a tie.
"You're not dressed." Luke stated when he saw him.
"Actually I am. These things are called clothes."
"The wedding is in an hour."
"I know."
"You need to get changed."
"I've already had a shower and shaved. It will take ten minutes to get dressed and I had an idea for my new book so I got into a flow. Besides no one has tried to bother me all day."
"You should see my house. It's full of women running around. Hairdressers and photographers and lots of people I don't know in and out. Your mother and TJ are watching the twins and Libby."
"You left them alone with TJ?" Jess looked at him. "Are you insane?"
"Liz is there and people."
"What about Richard?"
"Richard is discussing the state of the stock market with Taylor. Miss Patty and Babette have already staked out their seats in the church."
"Sounds like fun." Jess rolled his eyes. "Have you eaten? I'm hungry." Jess got up and started to look through the cupboards for something to eat.
"How come you're so calm?"
"Why should I be nervous?" Jess asked.
"There is a wedding in about an hour?"
"Luke I got married a year ago, this is just for Lorelai, Emily and Liz."
"Right."
"Hey I tried to talk Rory out of eloping; I thought she should get a proper wedding in the first place. She gets the wedding, Emily gets to fuss and I get to hide out here until it starts, that was the deal I made with her."
"You made a deal with Emily?" Luke questioned.
"Hey I let her pick a hairdresser and a photographer, it was the least she could do. Especially since Kirk offered his services in both those roles and given how many jobs he's had he could probably do both."
"Kirk was checking that the fairy lights were working when I saw him."
"At least he's keeping busy." Jess found something to eat.
"Are you sure you want to eat that? Sookie's made a tonne of food."
"Well I'm hungry now." He shrugged. "You sure you don't want something?" Jess offered.
"Just get dressed." Luke suggested.
"I need to save what I'm working on first." Jess replied. "How's Rory?"
"Emily is driving her crazy. Lorelai's just about holding it together and she wouldn't put her dress on until I left. Paris on the other hand seems to like the whole organisational thing."
"That's Paris for you."

"How are you doing?" Lane asked Rory.
"My grandmother is driving me crazy and I think my hair is too tight."
"Do you want me to get the hairdresser lady back?" Lane offered.
"No."
"It will all be over in a couple hours, and we have some really great songs to play at the party."
"Is Libby okay?"
"TJ's making funny faces at her and the twins. She keeps rolling her eyes it's quite sweet. Paris is still channelling your grandmother."
"And Mom?"
"Getting the kids something to eat."
"Why am I this nervous?" Rory asked. "I only found out about this yesterday and I got married a year ago."
"Because it's a big deal." Lane told her. "It's not everyday you get up in front of all your friends and family and promise to love someone forever."
"I know."
"If it helps the divorce rate in this country is 50 so if it doesn't work out you won't in a minority."
"Why wouldn't it work out?" Rory asked.
"Exactly. You love Jess and he loves you. He did this because he thinks it's what you deserve the whole white wedding. Enjoy it."
