Rory POV

Bridesmaids dresses...check. Tuxes...check. Flowers...check. Wedding dress...check. Hall reserved...check. Reverend secured...check. Car to airport...check. Hotel reservations for out of town guests...check. Dress delivered to bridal suite...check. Tuxes delivered to groom suite...check. First dance and other special music given to band...check. Photographers...check. Limo secured for ride to reception...check. Oh shit I knew there was something I was forgetting. I have to get Logan a present. What do you get someone that has everything? Maybe a new flask. Last week was the bachelorette party I gave all the bridal party a custom jogging suit to wear the day of the wedding and champagne flutes for pre wedding drinking. The front breast pocket says "Team Huntz" and the back has their name and 'position' on it. They're all going to wear them on the day of the wedding after they get their hair done. I also got them all a bracelet that match their bridesmaids dresses but can also match with basically everything. Logan got all of the men a personalized flask including my grandfather and dad. They say L&RH 9-15 on them. He's bringing Dom with him the morning of the wedding and putting it in their limos on the way to the reception.

Jess really hasn't bothered me since the party. Maybe he's really growing up. Mom thinks he's screwed up in the head from war or something.

I'm in Hartford today since it's T-3 days until the wedding. Grandma Emily has been on the phone with me constantly. Logan's flying in tomorrow so mom, G, and I decided to spend the day together. I told them I needed an idea for Logan's gift.

3rd Person POV

"I think you should get him something for his desk at work. A picture of you two or something." G suggested
"No he has two of those already. I want to get him something really special." Rory said sighing. "But what do you get a man who already has everything?"
"Well he's already getting you." Lorelai said. "So maybe something that he hasn't seen you in?"
"Like lingerie?"
"Maybe."
"That's what was in Paris's box that she gave us and told us not to open at the engagement party. That and a kamasutra book."
"I don't want to continue with this conversation." G said turning red.
"Can you believe it girls? This is the last time ever in history there will be three Hayden women shopping and talking about sex." Lorelai said sentimentally.
"What about Grandma Francine?" G said laughing.
"I don't think she's one for sex talk babe." Lorelai said. "But please if you ever do, make sure there is a video of it."
"So Ro, what song are you and dad dancing to?" G said changing subjects quickly.
"I think it's going to be 'I Loved Her First' By Heartland. It's country, I know but it's good."
"I think he'll like that. Did you tell him?"
"No. I planned on it tomorrow at the rehearsal."
"What about the mother-son dance?"
"'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong."
"Good choices." Lorelai answered. "So you're really going to do this? I'll have a car waiting outside so we can run."
"Nope. My feet are toasty warm. Did I tell you we had our first real fight?"
"No. What happened? Do I need to kill him?"
"No killing required. But let's get lunch and I'll tell you about it."
They decided on the food court since they were already in the mall. G got Chinese and Rory and Lorelai decided on pizza. They sat down in a booth away from everyone. "Well, we have both been working so much lately trying to prep for the honeymoon since we're going to be off for two weeks. Oh don't forget to remind me to give you the new cell number. We agreed there is NO work on this trip so we got a new cell phone for emergency but anyways. I banked a few articles so they had something in stock in case there was a problem or whatever so I didn't come home until 10. I was covering a rally they were holding. I left my phone in the car so I didn't see the 10 text messages or 8 missed calls from Logan Colin and Finn. I came inside and Logan was pissed. I was exhausted so I just walked passed everyone. The rest of the group went home after I explained the story. After they left, Logan snapped. He said he thought maybe someone kidnapped me or Jess was back or something and how it was irresponsible that I left my cell phone and didn't check it. I yelled back that it's just like when he's working until 11 and doesn't call and let me know or when he hops a plane to Chicago for a HPG thing and doesn't tell me until he's on the plane. We fought for a good hour or so. I told him if it was going to be like this then maybe we should reconsider the wedding and he just stopped and sat down with his head in his hands. He looked up and I could see he was crying and he asked if that was what I really wanted. I said no but I didn't want to be controlled. I was a big girl and I had the car service so I had security. That he needed to trust me like I trusted him. We sat down and made a set of rules up. I told him that if he had to leave on a business trip, I wanted notice if possible. He agreed. He told me that if I had to work late or be out on assignment, that I needed to keep my phone on me and let him know. I agreed. We also said that we needed to check in more often with each other. His dad's been giving him more stuff to do with HPG, more than he expected. He's actually talking about having to go back monthly for meetings like I do so I said they needed to schedule their meetings the same time I had mine. He said that could be arraigned. It was intense but we made it though it. I woke up the next morning to coffee. We decided to stay in and work instead of going to the offices."
"Well I agree with him. You can't just stay out without letting someone know where you are but I also agree with you. I'm glad you worked through it. Sounds intense. We both cried and figured out we need to communicate more."

They group ate their lunch until Rory's phone rang. "Hold on it's Logan."
"Hello soon to be husband." Rory greeted cheerfully.
"Hello almost Mrs. Huntzberger. How's your day?"
"Good how about you?"
"Good. I miss you though. I'm actually flying in today, leaving now actually. Dad wants to meet with me and you to sign the final contract on the prenups. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I knew it would be a big deal. It's just paper. I don't care about it because we're not going to separate."
"Exactly what I said. I'll be there in about 6 hours."
"So right at dinner. Sounds good. Love you."
"Love you too. See you later."

"Okay he'll be here this evening. We have to find something!" Rory said to the girls. "Let's shop!"

They ended up going to Lux Bond and getting him a new Rolex and wallet. They had an engraver on site so Rory had them engrave it for her. She knew it was perfect.

Logan's flight landed and he and Pierre walked out to the town car. Rory decided to surprise him.

"Hey babe. I didn't expect to see you for another hour or so." Logan said after kissing her.
"I know. I just missed you a lot."
"I missed you too. Three days and you'll be officially my wife."
"I can't wait. Have you figured out what Finn's doing for your bachelor party?"
"No. I told him I wanted a quiet night in but knowing Finn that won't happen."
They were going to their respective parties tomorrow.
"Are you okay?" Logan asked "You seem off."
"I'm fine. Just tired. Shopped all day with the family."
"Ah okay. Well how about we go to my parents house, sign whatever we need to, have dinner with them, then go home and relax for the evening."
"That sounds great."

They got to the Huntzberger mansion about 10 minutes later and noticed the Gilmore's and Hayden's were there as well as Chris, Lorelai, and G.
"Why is everyone here tonight? I thought this was a sign and leave thing." Rory asked Logan. "Do you know something I don't?"
"No. I'm just as clueless."

Logan rang the doorbell and a new maid answered.
"How can I help you?"
"Yes I'm the son and this is the almost daughter in law." Logan answered.
"Right this way. The party is inside here."
"Rory, Logan." Emily said to the pair. "So glad you're here. We have some last minute wedding presents for you two. I can't tell you how happy I am for your Rory. You found a wonderful man."
"Thank you grandma." Rory asked while hugging Emily. The couple made their way around the living room greeting everyone there including Josh and Honor.
"Okay so spill. What's the big news?"
"Well you know that Logan's granddad took care of the wedding in full so we wanted to make sure we contributed. Rory, Logan, we want to pay for your honeymoon. We want you to take an extended vacation. More than 2 weeks. We'll pay whatever salary that you are missing plus all expenses of course."
"Grandma, Grandpa, we know you mean well but I'm not working for the salary. I'm working because I want to. Logan and I can't miss work for more than 2 weeks. We've been working hard just to miss two weeks. Logan's co-owner of his company and Vice Pres of HPG. He can't be out of the country for that long."
"Well then it can be a vacation fund for later on. We want you to enjoy married life to it's fullest. No more objection, there's already a bank account for the fund."
"Logan, son, I know I've been working you hard but you've made your mother and I proud." Mitchum started. "So we also wanted to get you something."
"You don't have to dad." Logan said
"Yes but I see you two. You make sure that you're making everyone else happy but have you stopped to make yourselves happy?"
"I am happy." Rory said. "Things are going quicker than usual but the end result is the same. I want to be Logan's wife and he wants to be my husband."
"I agree with her." Logan said.
"Well regardless, we wanted to give you something to remind you of us. We know that you haven't had time to cultivate your home art so we want you to find a painting or portriate that you want and we are going to purchase it and set it up at your house in Palo Alto. Speaking of which, when are we going to see this house?"
"We plan on having a housewarming party when we get back from our honeymoon."
"Well little brother." Honor interrupted. "It's our turn for extravagant wedding presents. Josh and I looked around Palo Alto for a home theater guy and we set you up for a whole house system. It's going to be handy for when you have the baby. It has monitors and you can set it to automatically pick up sound or button."
"You all are too generous." Rory said taken aback. She knew she couldn't get out of this so she decided to accept it. "thank you so much. I promise we are waiting on some finishing touches on our home and then everyone will be invited to stay. There are guest houses plus we have Logan's apartment for people to stay.

bachelorette/bachelor party t-2 days

The guys went all out. Logan, Josh, Finn, Colin, Robert, Clyde, Andrew, and they even got a few more guys from the LBD crew. He even saw a couple of Andover friends. They were currently on the roof of Trump Towers in New York. They could see the entire skyline from here. There was a full poker table set up with trained dealers and brand new cards and chips so Colin and Finn couldn't cheat. Around 10 Logan decided to call his fiance to see what her plans were.

"Hey Ace. How is your party going on?"
"What? I can't hear you. All the ladies from Stars Hollow came together to throw me a bash. Hold on, let me go inside my house."
A minute later he heard her pick the phone back up.
"Logan. Can you hear me now?
"Yeah Ace. Can you hear me?"
"Yeah. How's your party going? Any strippers arrive?"
"No the boys didn't get any. Colin said Steph would flip."
"Oh ya? What time is it?"
"10. Why?"
"Well look at the elevator."
Rory and Steph decided to give the guys one night of fun and booked private dancers. They were allowed to look, not touch so they were okay with it.
"Seriously Ace. The only one I need is you."
"This is your last chance to see other women until I die."
"I'm completely alright with that."
"Go enjoy your night. I know I will."
"Wait, do you have exotic dancers?"
"What happens in the Hollow Stays in the Hollow. Love you."

Rory hung up. Logan couldn't help but feel slightly jealous when she hung up but his friends made sure he made the best of his last night as a bachelor.

Her party was great. Her mom convinced the guys to go to Litchfield for the night and stay there so they could use the square as their party location. They pulled out all the stops, cake, music, booze, strippers, presents. Everyone came including Mrs. Kim who said "I've seen better." and went back home to use her good ear plugs for the night.
"Now as our debut, "Lanes Angels." She heard Brian say. Brian, Lane, and Gill decided to restart a band without Zack since he decided he was too good. Zack was currently in Denmark with his new band. They were actually able to recruit Dave who moved back with his family after college. He and Lane were slowly starting to date so Rory decided not to kick him in the shin for ditching her in high school. She looked around at her crazy town, Mrs Patty and Babette were stuffing ones down a strippers G-string,

Lindsey and another girl were talking at the punch bowl and giving Rory evil glares. She decided to walk over. "Why are you here if you're going to glare at me?" Rory said. Looking back she realized it was the wine talking but still it needed to be said. "Seriously Lindsey? Why are you here? Yeah I screwed your husband but your husband was in that bed as well."
"You didn't need him. You had a whole life in Harvard. Just because you were on a break with your ex boyfriend didn't mean you needed to try to get your other ex back."
"I'm sorry for that. I told him. I told him that we shouldn't have done that. Don't you remember? That's how you found out."
"I know. I'm mad at him too if that helps."
"No. If you're going to continue to shoot evil glares at me during MY bachelorette party, you can leave. If you're going to stop, you can stay."

She walked away and found her mom and Lane who saw the whole thing. "She was giving me death stares. At MY party." Rory said to her two best friends.
"I know hun. Don't worry. We understand." Lorelai said. "Here sit down here."

When she sat down she heard Lorelai shout "SHE'S SITTING NOW. HURRY UP!" And the next thing she knows is Steph's pulling a stripper over and he danced for Rory. Steph sat next to her and asked "Did the guys get their present?"
Rory replied with her face in her hands. "Yepp. He called me at 10 ironically."
"Ladies! Lorelai called out! Now I need someone who is halfway sober to come use this camera and get a picture of the wedding party.

Everyone in the party stood on the gazebo stairs and Lulu was sober so she took Rory's new camera.

Honor, Paris, and Lorelai stood on the top. Lane, Rory, and Maureen stood in the middle. Steph and Georgia stood on the bottom. Everyone gave their best smile and took a the picture. Then Lorelai, Rory, Honor and G got a family picture together. There were plenty of pictures taken.

t-1 day

The girls woke up with headaches that next morning around 2 in the afternoon. The only thing they noticed was the smell of breakfast. They went out and saw Colin, Finn, Josh, Chris, and Logan cooking breakfast.

"Good morning ladies." Colin whispered. "There's ibuprofen sitting on the table with enough water to supply a 3rd world country."
Rory got a look from her mom and quickly hid her ibuprofen and drank her water. She ended up drinking 3 bottles of water then was in the bathroom 4 times within the hour. Logan pulled Rory aside and kissed her.
"You're the best fiance on earth. Did you know that?"
"Is that because of the strippers?"
"No, it's because you made sure to include Honor in on your family picture. She cried when she told me."
"She's my sister now."
They got to make out for 10 minutes before they were interrupted.
"Save that for the honeymoon you two. We have to get to Hartford within 2 hours for the dress rehearsal and dinner." Honor said to the couple. "Mom will kill us if we're late."

Logan left before everyone else saying that he had a final errand to run.

Everyone arrived at the Windsor Club at 5 PM on the dot.

"Nothing like a rushed appearance Logan. I swear, you will be late for your funeral." Shira said pulling at his tie.
"I'm sorry mom. Traffic was crazy here." Logan said apologetically. Truthfully he was at a shop in Hartford picking up his gift to Rory. He decided he was going to give it to her tomorrow on the way to the reception. It was already in the limo designated for them.

The rehearsal and dinner went without a hitch which was apparently a good sign for the wedding according to Shira and Emily.

At 10 Logan got dragged off by Mitchum, Richard, and Chris saying it was time to go to New York.

"I'll see you tomorrow Ace." Logan said to Rory.
"I'll be the one in white." Rory said back.
"I'll be the nervous one in front."
"We'll be married at this time tomorrow."
"I know. I can't wait. I love you."

Hope you like it! I'm on ch 26 already

A/N: So I get daily updates for A Year in the Life (google alerts) last nights article said that clues are pointing towards a Rogan reunion! Not to mention he's top billed/scripted according to IMBD. Otherwise why would Mitchum grace his presence?! Way better than the cousin or the dolt lol. #TEAMLOGAN FTW
