A/N: Okay so I hope that everyone is enjoying ROGAN: One Shots. I know that I am enjoying writing them. I like being in this Universe. So I was reading through my reviews of the first ROGAN story and I saw that someone was curious as to why Lane wasn't a bridesmaid in Logan and Rory's wedding. So, here it is.
Choosing the Wedding Party
I had flown home for a few days so that I could organize the bridal party. Lane had been busy with the band and touring, so I wasn't even sure that she would be able to make it back for the wedding. Steph had agreed to be my maid of honor because even if Lane could make it back for the wedding I knew that she would be too busy to perform maid of honor duties. Paris had agreed to be a bridesmaid along with Honor. My co-worker Jessica from California had also agreed to be a bridesmaid.
I was sitting at Luke's working on color schemes and dress ideas when my cell rang. I looked at the caller ID said that it was Lane calling me. I answered cause I needed to talk to her. "Hey." I said when I answered.
"Hey sorry I keep missing your calls." Lane said.
"It's okay. How's life on the road?" I asked her.
Lane laughed. "It's okay, but I'm starting to miss home and my boys. How's California?" She said.
"I'm sure it's fine but I'm currently in Stars Hollow." I said.
"How come?" She asked.
"Wedding plans. I'm trying to get the bridal party organized and get everyone fitted for their dresses before I have to head back to California." I said.
"Sounds like fun."
"Oh yeah big fun. Speaking of… do you think that you'll be back in time to be a bridesmaid?" I asked.
Lane let out a sigh. "It's not looking like it. We're due for a show in Ohio that weekend. I don't know if I can make it back in time." Lane said.
"It's all good." I told her.
I heard a noise in the background. "Hey I gotta go. We're about to head out for rehearsal."
"Okay, we'll talk soon." I said and hung up.
I sat my phone on the counter and went back to my laptop. Luke walked over and poured me some more coffee. "How're the wedding plans coming along?" Luke asked me.
"Slow. I think that I have bridal party situated. Now I just gotta figure out the dresses." I told Luke.
"Rory, I just want to say that even though I'm not your father, I'm proud of you. I know that your Mom hasn't always liked Logan but I'm glad that you didn't let her get in your head about marrying Logan." Luke said.
"Thanks Luke, that was almost a Gilmore worthy rant." I said with a smile.
Over the course of the next couple of days, I was able to get all of the girls to meet me at a dress shop that I had picked in New York. When we went in, I told the girls what color their dress needed to be and that I wanted each of them to pick out a dress and then together we'd decide on the final dress. While my friends were looking for their dresses, I decided to start browsing through wedding dresses. One of the sales girls approached me, her name tag said Megan. "Can I help you find something?" She asked me.
"My friends are looking for bridesmaids dresses and I just thought that I would browse your selection of wedding dresses while they were." I said.
"Do you have a budget in mind?" She asked me.
I shook my head. "No, no budget." I said.
She nodded. "Let me pull a few things and when your ready, you can try them on." She said.
"That would be great thank you." I said. She walked away to start pulling dresses and I headed up to the waiting area to wait for the girls.
When I sat down, my cell started ringing in my back pocket. I pulled it out and saw that Logan was calling. I answered it. "Hey babe." I said.
"Hey how's it going?" He asked.
"The girls are looking for bridesmaids dresses and there's an attendant pulling wedding dresses for me to try on." I said.
"Sounds like your getting quite a bit accomplished."
"Trying to. How's your day going?" I asked him. Mitchum had been bugging Logan since the engagement party to come back to HPG. Logan wanted no part of it even though he knew that at some point he would have to, I mean after all it was his family's business.
"It's going. Dad called, he wanted to know when I would be in town again. I think that he's trying to butter me up and try and convince me to come back to the company again."
"Well babe, you are the only one that can make that choice. Even though I wouldn't like being in the spotlight of society, I hope that you know that I would follow you anywhere." I said, and it was true.
"I know."
I saw the girls coming back so I ended my conversation with Logan. They had picked out some really pretty dresses, but my favorite was the one that Steph had picked. It was a floor length strapless dress, and it was a bluish-silverish dress. It had rhinestones on it in the shape of a flower on the left hip. It was gorgeous. All of the girls agreed. That was the dress.
Once everyone had been fitted for their dress I headed back to the dressing room to start trying on dresses. I tried on several dresses before I finally found a dress that I fell in love with. It reminded me of the yellow ball gown that Belle wore in Beauty and the beast. It was beautiful and I felt like a princess in it. When I showed it to my friends they all told me that it was the perfect dress.
Everything was starting to look up.
