A/N: Thank you to those who have read and reviewed. I still ask that you review because constructive criticism is always appreciated. Always, chapter 3 may be up much later because of finals coming up this week and the holidays but I promise it is in the works. Now for chapter two…..

Lorelai continued to look at dresses while she waited for the assistant to return with the one she chose. It had been six months since the night she went to the diner and confessed her love to Luke. She began to think about the past months. They went by so fast, yet she could clearly remember every detail. She remembered how Luke was a little reluctant to take her back because of the Christopher situation but eventually proclaimed his love to her. Then, she remembered how after that, everything was smooth sailing. The two were madly in love and closer than they had ever been before. She had finally been introduced to April and the two of them became close friends. She continued to revisit the past months when she was suddenly interrupted by the assistant.

"Miss, is this the dress you asked to try on? When is the wedding date?"

Lorelai had been so preoccupied with the dresses and their reunion that she almost forgot the moment Luke proposed to her. In fact, it was only a few months ago. She smiled to herself as she remembered the moment. The two were out on a romantic dinner when he popped the question. Of course she said "yes" immediately. She smiled again and wished he was by her side at that very moment.

"Miss? Is this the dress you asked to try on," the assistant questioned, once again interrupting Lorelai's thoughts.

Lorelai nodded yes took the dress from the woman's hands. She was headed to the dressing room when all of sudden she realized that she needed Rory here to encourage her and support her. Why hadn't she realized that sooner?

"Thank you for all of your help but I just realized that my daughter needs to be here to help me pick out the dress," Lorelai tells the assistant as she hands the dress back to the assistant.

Lorelai leaves the store and heads for Yale to drag Rory out with her shopping. On the way through Stars Hollow, she notices Luke is at the diner. She decides to make a quick stop to see her future husband.

"Hey stranger," she says as she enters the diner. They share a sweet kiss and Lorelai asks, "How was the trip to Philadelphia?"

"It was good. Jess said he would be my best man and that he will be here in a few days. He has a lot of stuff to finish up in his store." Luke answers. "So how have you been these past few days? Did you finally chose which dress you want?"

"Not quite.."

"What are you waiting for Lorelai, the day before the wedding? Or have you decided that you'll just get married in jeans and a t-shirt."

"Only if you promise to get married in a flannel shirt and that hat," she offered teasingly. "No, I decided that I am enrolling the help of Rory so I'm headed to her apartment now."

"Oh, by the way, I think you should warn her about Jess coming to town."

"I will." Lorelai kisses Luke bye on the way out and heads for Yale.


"Hey kiddo," Lorelai says as she greets Rory after she finally answers the door. "Are you still wallowing?" Lorelai questions as she sees the mess in her apartment. "Friends with Ben and Jerry I see."

"Yep," Rory answers half-heartedly. She was still very much hurt about her break-up with Logan although it was a mutual decision. They both realized that the relationship wasn't going anywhere. They had a reached a plateau. Plus, he was in always traveling or in New York, which put a strain on their relationship. So it ended a few weeks ago.

"So why are you here instead of shopping for your dress?"

"Well, I realized that I needed my maid of honor and best friend there to help me, not to mention my own daughter."

"Well, she is taking a vacation from her duties. I really don't feel like shopping today."

"Rory, the wedding is coming up really soon and you would think that I have a wedding dress already but I don't. Please!! You'll be my favorite daughter!"

"I'm your only daughter," Rory counters as she stares at her mother.

"Fine, I'll go but I'm not promising to be a happy camper."

"Aw, thank you," Lorelai exclaims as she runs to hug Rory.

After hours of shopping, Lorelai and Rory finally found the perfect wedding dress. It was nothing too fancy, yet it was still gorgeous. It was a classic strapless white dress. It was covered with lace to make it stunning and had a short veil and train. It was truly perfect.

"See…our hours together will always cure a broken hear," Lorelai offered to Rory.

"Yea, it does help a little bit."


It had been a few days since Lorelai and Rory's shopping adventure. They two were at their usual morning routine: Luke's diner for coffee. They were all discussing wedding plans: what needs to be done today and what needs to be done tomorrow. The were in the middle of discussing catering for the reception when their conversation was suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Honey, I'm home," Jess says jokingly.

"Oh, god, I knew I forgot to tell Rory something," Lorelai mumbles to herself.

Rory turns around to see the person standing in the doorway. She knew that voice. How could she every forget it? But she still needed some reassurance. "Jess…" is all Rory managed to say as she looked at him in shock.
