On the morning of April 21st Rory was awoken by a huge "THUD!" on her bed. She groggily opened her eyes and realized she was in her Stars Hollow bedroom. Oh yeah, she had driven home last night after she and Logan had… well, she had driven back last night after saying good-bye to Logan.

She had wanted to stay at the apartment with him, but her mother had argued, saying that the bride and groom HAD to be separated the night before the wedding and were not allowed to see each other until the next day at the alter.

So she had arrived at her mother's house around eight. To celebrate the occasion Lorelai had invited the bridal party over for a sleepover. So Rory, Lorelai, Paris, Lane, Steph, and Honor had watched The Prince and Me and The Prince and Me 2. Finally, around eleven, Lorelai had said it was time for bed because Rory couldn't walk down the isle with baggy eyes.

Snapping back into reality, Rory realized that her mother had jumped onto her bed and was now yelling "Get up! Get up! You're getting MARRIED today!!!!" in a singsong voice. She finally got up and bounced into the kitchen. "Luke sent us breakfast!"

An hour and a half later the girls had showered and dried their hair. Lorelai was heading into the kitchen for more snacks when there was an abrupt knock at the door. It was opened to reveal Emily, a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead all carrying huge shoulder bags and carry cases.

"Um, mom, what are you doing here?" Lorelai asked faking happiness.

Emily sighed. "Lorelai, for heaven's sake, its Rory's wedding day."

"Thanks for the update." She mumbled.

"I've brought some help" She continued. "This is Carolyn, Marilyn, and Sue." She said pointing to each in turn. "I've hired them to help with everyone's hair, make-up, and nails."

"Gee mom, that's so-"

"Nice." Rory said cutting her off. "Thank-you grandma. Please, come in. Carolyn, Marilyn……. Sue."

For the next three hours the ladies primped. They got manicures, pedicures, facials, hair, and make-up done. As much as Lorelai hated to admit, these girls had skills. Rory looked amazing with her hair down and she loved how they had made her hair so wavy. Even her mother looked a bit nicer.

"Time for the checklist!" Lorelai announced from her spot near the front door.

"Wedding dress?"

"Check!" Honor called holding up Rory's dress (which she would change into later) and dress carrier.

"Veil?"

"Check!" Honor called again.

"Make-up touch-up kit?"

"Check!" Lane called.

"Bridesmaids dresses?"

"Check!" called each of the girls and Lorelai.

"Grandmother of the bride's outfit?"

"Oh, um, check." Emily said finally.

"Cameras?"

"Check!" Called each of the girls except Rory.

"Shoes, sowing kit, bobby pins, string, first-aid kit, and flask?"

"Check!" was heard through-out the room.

"Honestly, Lorelai, why in the world do you need a flask?" Emily said in frustration.

"In case Rory gets nervous or thirsty. Either way, she'll be nice and relaxed."

"I will not have my granddaughter drunk at her wedding."

"It's okay grandma." Rory said calmly. "You know I don't like hard alcohol."

"Cell phones?"

"Check!"

"Bride?"

"Check!" Rory said unnecessarily.

"Then let's go to the beach!!!"

---

About forty-five minutes later the girls arrived at Paradise Cove. Paradise Cove was a private beach for members of the Paradise Beach Club. Luckily, Logan's family (or rather, his parents) were active members so they had let him rent out the whole beach at a discount.

The waves crashed openly and the girls could see the sun shining away, glistening on the water. About a mile down the beach began a series of bright, homey looking beach houses. Palm trees outlined the land and a wedding set-up could be seen in the middle.

Rows upon rows of white chairs sat beneath a small stage-like structure, while bouquets of blue flowers were placed strategically around the venue. Upon the stage stood a white arch, covered in more flowers. The girls made their way to the tent marked "BRIDE" on a sign outside to find mirrors, chairs, tables, a few stools, a cooler, and directions to the bathroom inside the clubhouse a few hundred yards away. Setting down their stuff they looked at one another, smiled, and set to work.

"Rory, can I talk to you for a second?" Lorelai asked about an hour later.

Rory nodded and maneuvered her way over to her mother in her wedding dress. "Yeah mom?"

"I just want you to know that I'm so proud of you. Really, kid. And I know you're going to do well in life and that you'll do whatever you want to do and that you'll do it good. And if Logan makes you happy, then I'm proud that you've found someone great to share your life with."

"Mom, stop it. You're going to make me cry and ruin my make-up." Rory said sniffing.

Lorelai smiled. "I'm sorry. No more tears. I love you, Rory."

"I love you too, mom."

"Sorry to interrupt-" Christopher said sticking his head in the tent. "-but the ceremony's about to start."

Rory stood up and nodded.

"Okay, um, they said that when the music starts playing Gigi will go down the isle first, then Lane, Paris, Stephanie, Honor, and then Lorelai." Chris continued. "And then me and Rory of course."

The girls nodded and grabbed their bouquets. "Let's go get you married." Lorelai said to Rory while stepping in line behind the others.

Rory slipped her arm through her fathers as they began the short walk to the ceremony "Rory, I just wanted to let you know that I'm proud of you. And that I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you were younger." Chris said suddenly. "But I'm really glad you decided to let me walk you down the isle."

"Thanks. And it's okay. I'm just glad you're going to be there for Gigi." She said watching the little girl toss flower pedals down the isle. "Before you know it it'll be her in the big white dress."

"Don't remind me." He said chuckling. "Just, be the Rory we all know and love. Do that and you'll be just fine."

"I will, dad. I'll make you proud, I promise."

"Rory, you couldn't make me more proud than I am right now."

By then Lorelai had almost finished her walk down the isle. The wedding march began to play and everyone rose and turned to look at Rory and Christopher. "This is it." He whispered. "You ready?" Rory nodded and they began to walk.

From his spot at the front Logan began to watch his bride make her way down the isle. God, she was beautiful. Sure, she was always beautiful, but today she had a certain…. glow.

As she walked down the isle, Rory was surprised to see Luke standing between Finn and Seth. "What's Luke doing up there?" she whispered to Chris.

"He's on of the groomsmen. Logan wanted to surprise you." He said, continuing to smile.

"Oh." She said beginning to grin.

When they had finally reached the end of the isle Christopher lifted the veil behind Rory's head, gently kissed her cheek, and moved to his seat. Rory took Logan's left hand in her right and they moved up to the preacher.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the true miracle of matrimony between Lorelai Leigh Gilmore and Logan Elias Huntzberger." The priest began. "Who gives this bride today?"

Chris stood up. "Her mother and I do."

The priest nodded. "If there is anyone who has any reason for these two not to be wed, I ask you to speak now, or forever hold your peace."

…….

"And now for the vows. Rory…."

Rory smiled and began. "Nora Ephron said, 'True love is when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, and when you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.' The day we jumped off of that scaffold, the rest of my life began. Of all the people in my life, you make me think differently. You challenge me. You've taught me to look at the world in a new way. And as I stand here today, in front of all our friends and family, knowing that I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you, the world has never looked more beautiful than it does right now. I cannot wait to continue with our journey because I know that as long as we're together, we'll go wherever we're supposed to go in life." She smiled and took the ring Lorelai handed her and slipped it on Logan's finger.

The priest turned to his left. "Logan…."

"All my life I was known as the playboy; the irresponsible, spoiled, rich kid who'd end up working long hours and having some trophy wife. And, to be honest, I used to think that too. But then, something strange happened. I met you. And, for some unknown reason, you interested me. So we fought and argued and debated. I'm pretty sure it was when we jumped off the scaffold that I realized it. I realized that you were headstrong and independent and that you had a plan for yourself. And that you were going to do whatever it took to reach your goals. And I realize now that it was that very day that I began to slowly fall in love with you. And I am so glad I did. I'm no longer the spoiled, rich kid. I know I won't end up with some trophy wife and I now have a reason to want to come home early. Some people may still think I'm "that guy" but most people know I'm not. I am Logan Huntzberger; businessman, brother, son, and husband to the most amazing girl in the world." He took the ring Colin handed him and gently slid it on her finger.

"Rory, do you promise to love and cherish Logan, for richer for poorer; in sickness and in health; in good times and bad; as long as you both shall live?"

Rory smiled and wiped a tear from her eyes. "I do."

"Logan, do you promise to love and cherish Rory, for richer for poorer; in sickness and in health; in good times and bad; as long as you both shall live?"

Logan smiled. "I do."

"Then by the power invested in me, by the state of Connecticut, I now pronounce you husband and wife." He turned to Logan. "You may kiss your bride."

Logan grinned as he leaned in and whispered "We did it!" before planting a sweet kiss on Rory's lips.

They soon parted to hear the priest say, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce to you, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Logan Huntzberger."

A/N: YAY! The wedding was had! Hurrah!!! I'm SO glad!!! I'm very proud of myself for getting this chapter done. The story is not over, for those of you with bad minds. The next chapter will be of the reception and maybe some of the honeymoon. I know for a fact that it will be a little while before I get the next chapter up, though because 1) I haven't written it and 2) I'm going on vacation next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and I doubt I'll want to write that Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Please review. I had this chapter written a few days ago, and then decided I hated it and re-wrote most of it. Comment, comments, comments!!! Especially on the vows please!!!
