  • Visually stunning, there's just so much to look at here. Sookie's great desserts, the shower the town throws, and of course, the girls themselves.

    In this episode, Loreli comes downstairs in her paper-veil looking for approval from Rory who reads it instead. After having a run in with Paris on their house-building project she's way behind in volunteer work, panics and plunges into looking for a fix.



    The best things about this eppy are: Emily and Loreli's exchange at the end of the show. Clearly both hurt and not knowing how to approach each other, a bridge is gapped by talking about veils vs tiaras. I also love the shot of the kitchen where Sookie has baked loads and loads of wonderful pasteries for the shower. The shower itself is magical; candlelight and lavendar...Lane leaves for Korea and Rory and Dean are cuddling on a bench. The best show however, is Luke sitting on the park bench surrounded by baby-dancer brides, sad to see Loreli dancing with Max. I just loved the whole thing!
  • Sookie throws Lorelai an engagement party. Good episode.

    This was a good episode. Max is an okay character but Lorelai is obviously meant to be with Luke, so I would like for there relationship to end soon. But I do actually like the whole wedding thing, Lorelai not telling her parents was a good way to make this episode more interesting. Emily's reaction was a little harsh and mean, after all at least Lorelai did decide to tell her in the end. Good to see Richard apologise to Rory, liked how that was done.



    Is it me or is there something different about Dean, I don't know what it is, he seems more …. Normal. Anyway, his fight with Rory about Harvard was needed and was entertaining. Glad they made up thought because I like them as a couple. Lane being sent away, hope she comes back. I think she will as I can imagine her being a popular character and since the next episode is called 'Red Light On The Wedding Night' I think a few months may have passed.



    Lorelai shouting at Emily for her reaction was my favourite part of the episode, arguments are always very entertaining and engrossing in this show. It was sad to see Lorelai actually upset and near tears about her mothers attitude but then Emily can be upset to. Brilliant scene. Sookie and Jackson are a good couple, liked when he was annoyed about the marriage thing, then said that he'd move in and she just laughed at him.



    The whole Rory building the house thing was a bit …. Unnoticeable. I liked the build up to it, with Paris and Louise in summer school but it was only really a brief scene at the house. Lorelai asking Luke to come to the party was yet another sign that she likes him, a lot. I'm looking forward to the wedding, to be honest I'm hoping it doesn't go ahead.
  • Rory helps build a house and discovers she's way behind on her extracurricular activities to help her get into Harvard.

    This was a pretty good episode. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was rather funny that she would choose to help build a house. I felt sorry for her when she discovered that she was way behind on her extracurriculars to impress Harvard with. You would have thought that someone would have mentioned it to her before now. The fight with Dean was terrible though. I hat when that sort of thing happens. I am a happy ending type of gitl. The furry hammer was quite funny as well. Leave it to Lorelai to do something like that. She is so wacky.
  • Good!

    Lorelai tells Emily about her news, but because she is mad at Lorelai for not telling her, Emily brushes it off. Lorelai is really hurt by that gesture. Paris tells Rory about how you need extra stuff in order to go to Harvard. Rory panics and blows off her time with Dean in order to find volunteer work. Sookie plans a big wedding shower for Lorelai and Max. Lorelai really wants Luke to come. Lane leaves for Korea.



    This was a good episode! I don't think Lorelai and Max should get married. I was glad to see Paris added to the opening credits! This episode gets an 8.5 out of 10!

    i thought that this episode was a graet one the fact that Lorelai told her mother that she was getting married and she bascally brushed it off. i really liked the part where Lorelai and Max went to the Gilmores house and Lorelai asked her why her mother could never be happy for her when she told her mother that she was getting married and that the fact that Lorelai could not tell her mother anything good in her life because she was to afraid of her mother's reaction to it ruining her happiness. I think that Paris gets under Rory's skin and she knows it. The fact that Paris got Rory so worked up over her volunteer work not being enough to get her into Harvard. I think that Dean was a jerk for getting upset that Rory wanted to figure out some charity work to do instead of hanging out with him like she promised. i really like the party that Sookie threw for Lorelai and Max an engagment party i thought that Kirk was really annoying with the megaphone and it was funny that Lorelai took it from him. it was really nice of luke to show up for the party after lorelai told him that it would not feel right to her for him not to be there.
  • Emily is still upset with Lorelai

    Lorelai tells Emily that she's engaged not knowing that she's already heard the news from Sookie a week earlier and is still hurt because Lorelai didn't tell her first. Emily acts like she doesn't care which upsets Lorelai & she starts to think that her mother doesn't care for her at all. Which leads to a confrontation between them later on in the episode (while max is present).



    Sookie throws Lorelai an engagement party, which was supposed to be a surprise until she walked into the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee.



    Something caught my attention in this episode and that was that Lorelai wasn't enjoying herself at her party until Luke came.
  • a very speacial episode, because both lorelai and rory are having a fight with Richard and Emily Gilmore. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT .... YOU WILL LOVE IT.

    This episode is a very special one. Lorelai had agreed to marry max, but she had not told her mother Emily Gilmore jet. But Emily already no because Sookie had invite her to Lorelai’s hen party. When Lorelai at last tell Emily the happy news, Emily is very unhappy. That make Lorelai very unhappy she can’t not look forward to the wedding when her mother doesn’t. Emily had told Rory to bring on of her friends, and she had invited her boyfriend Dean, to join the Friday night diner. But Richard is not treating Dean very polite, and Rory get so unhappy that she had an argument with her Grandfather. And both Lorelai and Rory are very unhappy at the end. But Emily tells Richard to apologize to Rory. Because she don't want the same relationship to Rory as she have to Lorelai. She wants to now from Rory her self when she is getting married.

    I think this episode shows just how much Emily really deep down loves Lorelai. In the last episode when she found out about Lorelai's engagement she was hurt. As she should have been. Also the fight between Richard and Rory is settled. Showing the love of the grandparents for their granddaughter. Though Richard and Emily have a strange way of showing it they do love both Rory and Lorelai.
