"So final week before the wedding, nervous?" Rory had agreed to spend the next few evenings indulging her mum with wedding talk.
"Not nervous at all, it's weird."
"You want to feel nervous?"
"No, but I thought I would. I feel happy and excited, but not nervous."
"I think that's a good sign."
"I think so too."
"You want to try the dress on again don't you?" For the last two night she had been trying on the dress, making sure it all fit perfectly, she never got tired of hearing the compliments about.
"Yeah kind of." Both of the girls laughed as they headed upstairs again.
"How's your mum doing?" Jess missed Rory but he understood she needed time with her mum before the wedding, they would be leaving shortly after.
"She's doing well, excited about Saturday. Luke?"
"His usual self, an onlooker wouldn't believe he was getting married this weekend but he's excited. I think a part of him never thought this would happen."
"Same with my mum, there was always something in their way. I'm happy they managed to get here."
"Me too, they seem really happy."
"I think they are." He looked at her as she smiled at the thought. "Anyway, what's the plan for after the wedding?"
"Well I kind of got them a gift, a few days away. I figure we will stick around until they get back and then we can head back to Philadelphia."
"You got them a trip away?"
"Yeah, I thought they'd like a small honeymoon, the inn can run between Sookie and Michele and I can help with the diner. It's just a few days."
"Where are you sending them?"
"I thought they'd like Paris, apparently it's nice there."
"That's so sweet of you Jess. Who knew you had it in you?"
"Alright, alright. It wasn't that sweet, and I have a selfish reason behind it, I get you to myself for a few days too." She laughed then. He was really a big softy.
"Isn't it a bit late to be having dress fittings?"
"Well, April, you haven't been here for a while so we had to wait to do yours. I figured we could wait doing the last ones for everyone until you got here."
"You didn't have to do that."
"I know, but now you get the whole experience." April smiled then, she was enjoying her time here with Lorelai, Rory and Sookie, they were doing the final fittings of their bridesmaids dresses.
"I can't believe you made these dresses yourself, they're really great."
"Aren't they just, she always makes great stuff." The voice had coome from the kitchen, Sookie had made a feast for the fittings, even though there was only four of them.
"I'm glad you all like them, April try to stay still hun."
"Oh right sorry."
"I don't want to stick you."
"How does it look?"
"You look great in it, really suits you." Rory chimed in with the compliment, she really did look good in the dress her mum had made.
"Ok, all done, be careful as you take it off, I have some alterations to make." April headed upstairs then.
"She seems to be enjoying it all."
"Yeah, I'm glad she does. Shows Luke he didn't have to worry about it."
"It's really nice of you to let her be a bridesmaid as well."
"She's a good kid." She came back down then and they stopped talking about her. "Right, Rory your time, go get into your dress we will see what we need to do."
It didn't take long to do the fittings for Rory and Sookie, there wasn't much that needed doing. Lorelai then set herself up to make all the alterations, she made herself a small nest on one of the chairs of fabric and thread.
"Let's get the movies started."
"I've got the food." Sookie came in carrying out a couple of trays of snacks and finger food for the movie.
"What are we watching?"
"Well we decided on wedding themed movies, as many as we could find, need to see how many we can fit in the next couple of days."
"We can get through the whole damn pile."
All three of the other women laughed at Lorelai's outburst.
"Well, the bride get's her way so let's get started."
