Chapter 7

Ding-dong. The maid answered the door of the Gilmore house. Lorelai, Luke, Rory, and Jess entered and handed their coats off to the maid.

"Richard, they're here." Emily called as she entered the foyer.

"Hi, Mom." Lorelai said.

"Hi, Grandma." Rory greeted her.

"Hello, Emily." Luke said.

"Good evening, Mrs. Gilmore." Jess said.

"Suck up." Luke muttered to Jess.

"Well let's go into the living room." Emily said. The group entered the living room.

"Hello everyone." Richard greeted them. They sat down.

"Lorelai, who is your planner?" Emily asked.

"Planner for what?" Lorelai replied bewildered.

"For what? Honestly, Lorelai! For the wedding!" Emily cried.

"Oh, Emily we don't have a wedding planner." Luke said uncomfortably.

"You don't have a planner? Well that's convinient. Isabella come here please." Emily seemed pleased rather than angry. Lorelai and Rory exchanged confused looks. A young woman came from upstairs.

"Everyone this is Isabella. She's a planner for all sorts of events. Isabella this is my daughter, Lorelai, her fiancee Luke, my grandaughter Rory, and her boyfriend Jess. Lorelai, Isabella will help us plan your wedding." Emily said. She nodded to Isabella and Isabella disappeared upstairs.

"She is from Paris and is simply wonderful." Emily began.

"She's french maybe we should set her up with Michel." Lorelai whispered to Rory.

"That's not a half bad idea." Rory whispered back. Just then the maid entered.

"Dinner is served." she announced. The group got up and entered the dining room.

"So Jess are you going to be at the wedding?" Emily asked.

"I'm gonna be there. Luke would be mad if he didn't have his best man in attendance." Jess said with a small smile.

"You're Luke's best man?" Emily inquired with surprise.

"Yes ma'am." Jess replied. The rest of dinner passed in chitchat about ideas for the wedding and Richard and Emily's complaints about their neighbors.

"Well, Lorelai shall we go choose your dress?" Emily asked as they finished dessert.

"Oh uh mom?" Lorelai replied.

"Oh you all came together." Emily realized.

"Not exactly. Luke why don't you drive me home and Rory can drive Lorelai." Jess piped up.

"That's a wonderful idea Jess." Emily smiled at him. Jess and Luke took off and Lorelai and Rory went upstairs to pick out Lorelai's dress.
