The alarm went off and Rory woke up for her big day. It was way too early, for Rory but she jumped in the shower and then put on her makeup. She came downstairs, and there was coffee. Dean had already left since he couldn't see Rory on the wedding day. But the note explained the coffee, it was in a Luke's cup, and Lorelai wrote:

Rory,

On my way to get my hair done, thought I'd stop by and drop this off. I expected you'd need it. See you in a few hours!

Love you,

Mom

Rory drank up her coffee, went to get her hair done and drove to the inn. There she put on her wedding dress, the wedding was scheduled to start in under an hour. "Thanks for the coffee." Rory said walking up to her mom casually.

"You're dress is beautiful."

"Thanks mom, you too. You really fixed that thing up."

"So how are you doing?"

"A little worse."

"Only a little, oh then we have nothing to worry about!"

"Just nervous, really. I mean he is the right one." This time Rory said it in a voice that showed she needed reassurance.

"He always was."

"But I mean, maybe I just can't let go, maybe he can't either, maybe he doesn't love me." Rory didn't truly believe any of this, but she was just kind of out of sorts, which was to be expected.

"You don't believe that." Lorelai told her. "You know he loves you. You know you love him, and truthfully I think you've been dying to marry him ever since you met him." Rory smiled, her mother always knew just what to say. "You can't think today, it'll get you into trouble. Turn off your brain, I know you've never done this before. But no worrying, no thinking just enjoy your day."

"She's right." Emily appeared behind her daughter.

"Wow." Lorelai said shocked her mother agreed with her.

"I just wanted to come in and check in before we sit down.

"Thanks Grandma." Rory said and she gave her a hug.

Emily left, but there was still one more person coming to congratulate Rory, before the ceremony would begin. Lorelai went to make fun of how Luke looked in a tuxedo, and as she did Christopher walked in. "Hey Rory."

"Dad!" Rory exclaimed as if she was in elementary school. He gave her a big hug. "I wasn't sure if you were coming."

"I wouldn't miss this." Chris said. He looked at his watch. "I better go back." He smiled looking at his daughter and went to sit with the rest of the family.

"Do you Dean, take thee Lorelai-"

"Rory." She mouthed to the reverend.

"Do you Dean take thee Rory to be your lawfully wedded wife, for better or worse, for richer or poorer and in sickness and in health."

"I do." Dean said.

"Do you Rory take thee Dean to be your lawfully wedded husband, for better or worse, for richer or poorer and in sickness and health."

"I do." Rory said.

As Rory said this and she thought about these lines. Emily and Richard, and even Luke occasionally commented when she was younger about how she was to good for him. He wasn't too bright, and he worked at the market, had few plans for a future. How could he show her the world? How could he challenge her, was what they all thought. Now he could, now he had a very good job. He had traveled with her. He had gone to college. But none of this mattered to Rory. Dean cared for her more than anything in the world and that was what mattered. He always had, and no matter what happened he always would. She didn't care if he could navigate his way through all of the cities in Belgium, or if he had never heard of Belgium. He would always make her happy.

"You may now kiss the bride." And Dean did.
