Lorelai Getting Married Without Rory Being There Was An Awful Decision
Lorelai’s Decision Goes Against Her Bond With Rory
Lorelai’s decision to marry Chris inGilmore Girlsmight have been Lorelai’s worst mistake if it were not for her decision to elope without Rory. The fact that Lorelai got married to Chris, Rory’s dad, without their daughter in the audience felt extremely insensitive and out of character.

The wedding featured inA Year in the Lifewas the complete opposite of Lorelai and Luke’s wedding plansyears ago inGilmore Girls, but it was perfect nonetheless. Lorelai had originally planned a big wedding for June 3 back in season 6. These plans were eventually canceled after Luke discovered he had a daughter, April, and the couple decided they were not ready to get married. Even thoughLuke and Lorelaideserved a happy ending years beforeAYITL, the sequel did help heal some of the pain regarding their relationship by giving them the perfect wedding.
Two Characters Were Still Missing From Lorelai’s Wedding Who Should’ve Been There
Lorelai’s Wedding Missed Two Popular Gilmore Girls Characters
Although Luke and Lorelai’s wedding was perfectly fitting for the couple, it did miss two majorGilmore Girlscharacters.Both Emily and Sookie were missing from the Stars Hallow gazebothe night that Luke and Lorelai got married. Emily did appear throughout the sequel, but in the last episode of the revival, she had already moved to Nantucket, so she could not attend her daughter’s wedding. Sookie’s absence was more upsetting because she was hardly in the revival at all, making the empty spot next to Michel on the gazebo even more noticeable.
Besides Lorelai’s missing loved ones, the scene also missed Luke’s family. The larger ceremony with the townspeople happened off-screen, so it is likely that Liz, TJ, and Jess attended the next day. However, it would have been nice to see at least one member of Luke’s family beside him on the gazebo. That said, so much of Luke and Lorelai’s relationship is based on Stars Hollow and the locals that live there, so perhaps the intimacy of the wedding inGilmore Girls: A Year In The Lifewas right to be reserved by their local loved ones.
