BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 3) SYNOPSIS
The Gilmore girls are sampling a TON of cake because the wedding is approaching quickly! Naturally, that means there's more wedding stuff to attend to, such as hiring Kirk to be the wedding photographer.
Rory and Dean are hanging out, arguing about when their anniversary is. Rory says Why not two anniversaries? Fair.
Max is over and it's just a nice night with Lorelai and Rory. Dinner, movie, it's nice. Max ends up staying over which freaks Lorelai out. So she wakes up Rory in the middle of the night - she's never had a man spend the night with Rory there. She realizes their life is about to change.
The next morning, they go to Luke's diner. Luke freaks out because Taylor is having a traffic light installed.
That night, Lorelai and Max go on a double date with Rory and Dean. They eat a ton of food and still have room for ice cream. Max can't believe it. Dean is like you have much to learn, brother. And he gives them some insight on what life is like with the Gilmore girls.
When they get home, Max and Lorelai get in an argument. Max wants to know what he should do if Rory is outside making out too long or comes home drunk. Lorelai is like I don't expect you to do anything. I just want you to make garlic bread and be my boy toy. She talks him down and they kiss goodnight.
It's bachelorette party time! It's the gang - Lorelai, Rory, Sookie, Miss Patty, and Michel, naturally. When they get in, she's shocked to see that Emily is there. Michel is like I invited her, naturally. Emily shares about how much her and Richard love each other. This leads to everyone contacting their significant others to tell them they love them. Lorelai decides not to call Max. Instead, it's Christopher. She tells him that she's getting married.
The next day, Lorelai is quite hungover. Max comes to the inn. He's frustrated. He needs to get in the house but he still doesn't have keys. She apologizes and he's like I just wish you would think about someone other than yourself a couple times a day.
Later, Luke surprises Lorelai with a chuppah for her wedding. They have a moment talking about marriage and what not.
Lorelai in a frenzied state, comes into Rory's room and says pack now, we're going on a trip. She's like you're getting married this weekend...right? She says no. Rory is like why? Lorelai says I didn't want to try on my wedding dress every night. That's good enough for Rory. They pack and hit the road and naturally, hit the red light heading out of town.
