Even though Luke was going to pick up Lorelai, she shows up outside his diner ready to go. She's in pink with some kind of headdress of flowers. Fruity fluty music plays in the background. There's some girl working in the diner who isn't Lane and isn't Cesar and YOU CAN'T JUST ADD TOWNIES WILLY-NILLY. Lorelai compliments Luke's tie. He tells her she looks beautiful. They head across the street to the wedding together as pan flutes test our patience.
Lorelai and Luke head into the wedding arguing about whether men can wear wreaths in their hair. They are stopped by a DeLuise with a crap Ren Faire accent, teasing them for not attending the wedding in costume. He hands Lorelai a card for his furniture store in Nutley. Not one person attending this wedding is smiling. Luke tells Lorelai that he's going to try to keep a proud look on his face to cover up the smirking, about-to-lose- it-with-laughter face that's really going on just underneath. He asks Lorelai to help him with that. Lorelai thinks it's sweet how they all travel together, engaging in silliness, like a family of goons. Slutty Carrie, now officially Tarty Wench Carrie, serves up her boobs on a corset of skank. Luke isn't interested. Lorelai gets possessive when Tarty Wench tells Luke she's flying solo tonight, since her husband's back home. Lorelai shows a claw or two, and Carrie backs off. She says that there's a bit of a delay before the wedding, because Liz ripped her dress. "I'm supposed to spread the message," she says. Luke: "Well, spread it, Carrie. Uh! The message." She leaves, prompting Luke to comment that she makes him very uncomfortable. Lorelai says she should probably go sew up Liz's dress, since she knows how to sew. Luke begs Lorelai not to leave him alone. Lorelai says that Carrie's busy with the guy with the codpiece. Lorelai leaves.
Liz is wearing some costume left over from a bad Romeo and Juliet show. Miss Patty is fretting over the ripped seam. Lorelai fixes it as Liz complains that she's a klutz and is nervous. Lorelai tells her she looks great. Liz says that this is her first wedding where she's sober, and that she'll probably remember this one. Miss Patty says that means it might stick. Liz asks Lorelai if she was nervous at her wedding. Lorelai says she was never married. "But you have a kid," notes Liz. "Found a way around that," Lorelai says. Liz asks her if she wants to get married. Lorelai says it's inappropriate for Liz to propose on her wedding day. Liz laughs and asks Lorelai if she wants to get married to someone someday. Lorelai says if she meets the right guy. Liz says she hates being single. She tells Lorelai that she could get married for fifty years, for most of her life. Liz says she doesn't want to screw up this marriage even more than she wants some pot: "That's how serious I am." Jess shows up asking Liz if she's ready. Lorelai tells Liz that she and Jess know each other, since Jess dated Lorelai's daughter. Liz asks Jess if he broke Lorelai's daughter's heart. Jess puts down his bag, stammering. Lorelai says he didn't, and that it just didn't work out. Liz says she doesn't want Jess to be like his father, breaking hearts everywhere. She'd rather he was more like T.J., or her second husband, or the boyfriend after her third husband. Lorelai's finished, so Jess leaves to tell the others. Liz tells Lorelai that she'll make a great wife someday, and a wonderful sister-in-law. She tells Lorelai that Luke is waiting, unless Carrie suffocated him with her boobs. "Well, that would be festive," says Lorelai. On her way out, Lorelai spies on Jess's bag, seeing the love self-help book on top.
