*Wedding Music* HERE COME THE BRIDES!

Saturday approached alot quicker than Rory had expected. It felt as if one minute she was buying her white wedding dress and the next she was at her mothers house, having the dress slightly mended. The dress was a little too big on Rory.

"Rory! You're going to be a bride!" Lorelai cried pinning the cloth slightly closer to Rory's slim body.

"I know mom! I'm so nervous..."

"I wish I knew how you felt..."

"Mom! No, you will know how I feel. Someday, when the right guy comes..."

"Aww, well let's get you to a mirror." Lorelai said standing up and helping Rory of the small stool and leading her out of her room to the bathroom.

"Wow..." Rory breathed, running a hand down the side of her dress. "It fits perfectly now... Thanks mom!"

Lorelai smiled. "You're welcome honey. So, time for your bachelor party!"

"What!? I didn't even know I was having one-"

"Aw now, what kind of mother would I be if I didn't throw you a bachelor party?"

Rory laughed. "Alright then..."

"Come on, let's get you into some party clothes and over to the Inn!"

"The Inn?"

"Yes! That's where we're meeting everyone! Gypsy, Ms. Pattie, Babette, Lane, Sookie, Liz and Lulu!"

Lorelai pulled Rory back to her room and throwing her closet open.

"Here, take these jeans, and this shirt." She said, pulling out a pair of black skinny jeans and a bright red halter top.

"Mom! I never bought this!" Rory said holding up the shirt.

Lorelai grinned evilly.

"No, I won't wear it."

"Fine, then wear this red one." Lorelai said pulling out another shirt with criss crossing slits down the side.

Rory eyed it hesitantly.

"It's either this or the halter!"

"Fine!" Rory said laughing. Lorelai left the room and Rory quickly changed, thankful that her abdomen was still relatively flat.

When she finished changing, she left her room and saw her mom standing in the kitchen holding two pairs of shoes.

"Black or red?"

Rory looked at both strappy shoes. They were exactly the same, just two different colors.

"Black." She said, taking the shoes.

"Great!" Lorelai grinned and when Rory had her shoes on, they left into the cool night.

"Mom! It's freezing!"

"We won't be outside! Don't worry!" Lorelai said getting into her car.

Rory jumped in and blasted the heat.

Lorelai grinned. "Ready soon to be bride?"

"Yeah!" Rory said, suddenly excited for the night. "Wait, should I tell Jess I'm having a party so that he could have one too?"

Lorelai smiled. "Already taken care of. Luke said he'll take him to TJ's."

Rory nodded and Lorelai backed away from their house and dove down the street towards the Inn.

Rory woke with a throbbing headache. She sat up and saw she was in a room at the Inn, with Gypsy, Ms. Pattie, Babette, Lane, Sookie, Liz, Lulu and her mother lying around the room, all still asleep. She checked the digital clock on the bedside table and gasped.

It was 9:30.

Liz and Rory had to be at the Gazebo at 11:00.

"Mom! Liz! Sookie!" Rory cried and shook the person next to her awake.

Gypsy sat up groggily. "What is it?"

"Liz!" Rory said, waking the other bride.

"Huh!?"

"It's 9:30!"

When the time reached Lorelai's ears she snapped awake.

"Rory! Get in the car. Ms. Pattie!" Lorelai said shaking the dance teacher awake.

"What is it?" Ms. Pattie asked sitting up.

"Take Liz! It's 9:32! We have to get them ready!"

"Yes, dear." Ms. Pattie said and shook Babette awake.

They woke Lulu, Sookie and Lane then they all parted their own ways.

Lorelai, Sookie and Lane helped Rory get ready, and , Babette and Gypsy helped Liz. Lulu ran to atleast three different stores buying last minute accessories.

After a cloud of hairspray, dozens of clips, lots of make up and a can of red bull each, Liz and Rory each made their way to the Gazebo.

The plan had been that both of the brides would walk down the aisle together, each accompanied by their father. But in this case, Rory would be walked with Richard, and Liz had asked Luke to walk her.

"Good luck honey!" Lorelai said kissing Rory on the head then leaving to sit in one of the seats. She put her bag down beside her, saving a seat for Luke.

Rory and Liz nervously waited in a small tent that had been set up, a few feet away from where the ceremony would take place.

"You're marrying my son." Liz said, smiling at Rory.

"That'll be something, won't it? I'm getting married the same day as my mother in law..."

Liz smiled and hugged Rory.

"You're going to make a great mom-in-law Liz."

Liz smiled. "I can't wait for you to be my daughter. I hear my grand child is already on it's way?"

Rory nodded and affectionately touched her abdomen.

"You're going to be a great mother."

"Thanks Liz."

"If everyone is ready, we would like to start the ceremony." The ministers voice came through the tent and a knot formed in Rory's stomach.

"Let's go." Liz said, smiling bravely.

When the music began to play, Rory and Liz walked out into the open air. TJ's nieces walked down the aisle first, littering the ground with flower petals.

They walked down toward where Richard and Luke were standing. Richard smiled proudly at Rory, and took her arm. Luke did the same with Liz.

Liz and Luke walked down the aisle first, TJ froze at the sight of Liz. He smiled, and she grinned back.

Rory looked for Jess and saw him standing off to the side, wearing a suit. He stared at Rory, taking in her chocolate brown curls, her soft skin, the flowing dress. He bit his lip to stop himself from grinning to widely.

While the minister started the ceremony with TJ and Liz, Richard led Rory to a seat in the front. They sat down, Richard beside Emily who was trying to look cheerful, and Rory sat down and Jess came and joined her.

So what if it's not 100% traditional? I'm happy. Rory thought, smiling at Jess.

The knots in Rory's stomach grew tighter as she watched Liz and TJ pledge their love for each other, and exchange their first kiss as husband and wife.

Finally, it was her turn.

Jess went up to the stairs first, and Richard followed with Rory.

"Who gives this bride away?" The minister asked, smiling at Rory. I feel as if just yesterday I was giving her Halloween candy... He thought to himself.

"I, Richard Gilmore give this bride away." Richard smiled and Rory stepped away from him and joined Jess on the stairs.

"Today we are gathered to join our second couple in holy matrimony." The minister began and Lorelai smiled at Luke and he took his hand in hers.

"If we may have the rings?"

Sam stepped up and presented Jess with Rory's ring, and Lane gave Rory Jess' ring.

"Do you, Jess Mariano, take Rory Gilmore to be your lawfully wedded wife. In sickness and in health, in rich times and poor, for better or for worse? Do you promise to love her, and take care of her, for as long as you both shall live?"

Jess smiled at Rory.

"I do." He slid the ring onto her finger.

"And do you, Rory Gilmore, take Jess Mariano to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to be by his side, in sickness and in health, in rich times and poor, for better or for worse, as long as you both shall live?"

Rory smiled at Jess.

"I do." She slid the plain silver ring onto his finger.

"Congratulations. Jess, you may kiss the bride."

Seven and a half months later, Rory and Jess' baby was born. A handsome boy. They named him Sam, after Sam Gibson. Sam was made godfather, and was there to see his god-son turn age of one. Sadly, Sam passed away weeks after that, thus the role of godfather was handed to Luke. Rory insisted Lorelai also be a godmother, and so Jess agreed. In Sam's will, he had left the book company to Jess, who took over with full acceptance. Rory joined the company, and she and Jess worked hard, side by side. Soon they were one of the number one company's on the charts. Sam Jr.'s first words were his own name. Rory and Jess spent the summer in Stars Hollow, letting Sam grow in the warmth and comfort Rory had grown in. Everything fell into place, and Rory wouldn't have had it any other way.

:) I'm taking a small break from writing, because I need to further develop my ideas for the other "missing moments."
