    This episode was very exciting, we finally get to see Lane and Zach marry. Mrs Kim was very funny as always and it wouldn't be the same without her. Lane's grandmother coming was so funny, how Lane hiding things she got from her own mother. The bacherlette party wasn't exactly action-packed and wasn't really needed but it build up the wedding at least a little bit.

    The wedding itself or should I say weddings? The Buddhist one was weird but amusing with the older Kim's shouting in the background. But the after 2nd wedding party was so great to see, everyone happy, music in the background. Just a feel good atmosphere.

    But Lorelai soon has too much to drink and soon lets her feelings out ion a speech. This was sad to see and I just wish Luke would wake up and see that Lorelai is hurting. Rory and Brian's speeches were funny. The highlight was without a doubt both of the conversations Mrs Kim had with Lane.

    The first about sex and the second about accepting her daughter. The 2nd was just brilliantly done and so great to watch. 'I'll wear ear plugs so I want be able to hear the noise that will be outside all night' such a good thing to say - for Mrs Kim. Chris seems to be stepping up as a nice guy - which is good.

    Oh and talk about drama, Rory learns that Logan had an accident and rushes to be with him. I wonder how that'll turn out. I can't wait for the final three episode of season 6!moreless

    This was the first episode of Gilmore Girls I'd ever seen, and it is one of my favorites. It really showcases a lot of the characters' personalities really well. Lane's revelation about her mother keeping her religion from Lane's grandmother was just another way Mrs. Kim has been surprising viewers this season. While Lorelai's toast was embarrassing to watch, it was very important for her to articulate her true feelings on the subject of marriage. It was heartwarming to see Lane's happiness as this multifaceted celebration wore on throughout the night; from her little discussion with her mother to Hep Alien playing later at the reception.moreless

    I thought that lorelai and chris were going to do something since there both drunk. Im sorry but i just dont like Logan at all.I think that Luke and Lorelai will end up together and neither will Rory and Logan.this show is so funny but stupid at the same time. I love it anyway. Isnt Logan and the life or death brigade really stupid. there like risking there lives even though they know theres people waiting at home for them to arrive safely.
    overall this was one of the best episodes!!!!!Gilmore Girls is the best show on this earth !!!!!moreless

    The ultimate irony of Mrs. Kims life is exposed when her mother comes to Stars Hollow for the wedding. Since her mother is a Buddhist, Mrs. Kim has Lane hide some of the Christian accoutrement under the floor boards in her old room. It is so nice to see another side of Mrs. Kim. We have always known that she was very strict and that she loved Lane, but we saw a softer side to her in this episode.

    Lane's dress was lovely. Lorelai kept it modest but made it pretty and youthful. The shorter, rock and roll wedding dress was so clever. I loved the two ceremonies. It was a little sad to see Lane walk down the aisle alone. I realize that they didn't want to introduce Mr. Kim at this late date, but she should have had someone walk her down the aisle. How about her mother? or the uncle we met in episode 6-12, "Just Like Gwen and Gavin"? Consider this...Luke has watched both Rory and Lane grow up. He is Lane's boss. Why not Luke? It just seemed a little too modern to have such a young woman walk down the aisle alone.

    Also, why was Lorelai scrambling for a date? Both Luke and Lorelai knew about Lane's wedding before he decided to go on the field trip. Even if he decided still he wanted to go on the field trip, he should have come back a day early for the wedding. He should have been there for both Lorelai and Lane.

    It was heart breaking to see Lorelai so lost. Come on Luke! We love you...but get a clue.moreless

    i really liked this episode!! a lot of people said the show was falling apart during the second half of season 6, but i really liked most of those episodes. this was probably my favorite. the beginning was great and so was the middle and end. lorelai's speech about town being 'here' and luke being over 'here' cracked me up! mrs. kim is a really clever character too. i was sad that we didn't see mr. kim, but whatever: we got the grandma!! that was so funny with lane's mother hiding things under the floorboards just like her. i was sad we didn't get to see luke, emily, or richard, but whatev.
    christopher is alright but . . .
    michel was funny!! his dancing had me CRACKING up!! the thing with the sidekick was funny and with that girl's avril lavigne shirt. i love avril!! one thing that really bugged me was that lorelai had a razr at the beginning and at the end of the episode she had a rokr. she also had a rokr in partings. i have a rokr too which is cool, i was just like, "hey look my phone." now i can tell the world i have the same phone as lorelai gilmore!!moreless

    • Lane's Korean name, Hyung-hyung, is mentioned during the Buddhist ceremony. Edit
    • Lane and Zach's wedding cake frosting is a picture of them posing like Jack and Meg White on White Stripe's Get Behind Me Satan album cover. Perfect choice as they mention themselves fans of the band along the series. Edit
    • Lane has four wedding dresses. The first she doesn't actually wear was the dress worn by her mother. Then for the first ceremony she wears a Korean/Buddhist dress. She then wears the modified version of her mom's dress that Lorelai made. Once her mom leaves the wedding, Lorelai pulls down the skirt and a pink collar appears. Edit

    • Lorelai: (drunk, giving a speech at Lane's wedding) Hello. Some of you know me as Lorelai Gilmore, and some of me know me as Cher, but either way, I wanted to say a few words about our girl. I've known Lane forever, and I'm just so incredibly happy that she has gotten married. I mean, I am just so happy that this adorable 22-year-old girl has gotten married, because it's amazing, you know? It's really hard to get married. Believe me, I should know. I mean, seriously, because Lane is married, and next thing, it'll be my daughter, and then my granddaughter, but not me. I'm not getting married. No, it ain't for me. It's not in the cards. But hey, do you know what date I'm not getting married? June 3. Do not save the date. Do you hear me? Do whatever you want on June 3, because there's nothing at all going on that day. If there's anything you need to book, it's totally safe to book it on June 3, So congratulations, Lane and Zack. Who else here had eight shots of tequila, huh? Hands? Nobody? Hmm. Oh, God, who misses the yummy bartenders? I know, me too, they're so great. I was gonna ask them to not work on June 3, on my not wedding day. I just thought that would be so fun. Edit
